The Eldest Daughter of a Rural Family-Chapter 606: Pei Yuan Gets Married (6)_1

Old Scholar Fang nodded to himself quietly.

Pei Qin opened her mouth but didn’t say a word, waving her hand dismissively instead.

Fang Liuming and Pei Wendong, accompanied by Chang Yonglin and Xiao Yong as brothers escorting the bride, went to see Pei Yuan off to her wedding, following the bridal sedan chair to Qinghe Town.

Liu’er Alley also quickly quieted down.

Old Scholar Fang arranged for people to sit down for the feast, which added to the festivities.

Lady Yu and a few others came to console Pei Qin, knowing she was reluctant to let go, but daughters eventually had to marry off.

"The little radish I’ve raised myself, has been plucked away by someone else!" Pei Qin said with a laugh.

"Next time, don’t have daughters, have a few sons instead! Don’t marry off daughters, just bring in daughters-in-law!" Lady Zou joked.

Pei Qin snorted, "Have a few... but I can’t afford that many daughters-in-law!"

Lady Zou then began to talk about the various benefits of having daughters and sons, and the atmosphere quickly became lively.

It wasn’t until evening that the guard rushed back with Pei Wendong and the others in tow.

Fang Liuming had drunk wine, and even Pei Wendong and Chang Yonglin had sipped a little, their faces still flushed. Only Xiao Yong maintained his smile, his expression unaltered.

After revealing to each other how much they had drunk, Pei Qin shooed them off to drink sobering soup.

"I only drank a little, I’m fine." Xiao Yong came over and described to Pei Qin how the dowry and bridal sedan arrived at the Zhao family’s place.

Zhao Xiaochen waited until he was nineteen to take a bride, and had received quite a substantial betrothal gift previously, having been engaged to Pei Qin’s second younger sister. The people of Qinghe Town had all been waiting to see how things would turn out.

As soon as Pei Yuan’s dowry arrived, though it wasn’t many items, the people were not very impressed at first. But when the chests were opened and they saw the contents, they were astonished. Someone immediately pointed at a hilltop not far from Qinghe Town, "They actually bought that hill as a dowry..."

There were many hilltops near Qinghe Town, but there was only one with fertile soil, which Pei Qin had purchased for Pei Yuan. Once it was put in order, in two or three years, it would yield harvest and income.

"There’s not much stuff, but it’s all solid valuables! A young lady from a wealthy family, I bet her dowry would just about amount to this!"

Madam Zhao and Old Master Zhao couldn’t stop smiling; their daughter-in-law was not only bringing a substantial dowry but also many skills! A rare combination of gentleness, kindness, and virtuous conduct.

"The Zhao family is very pleased, the banquet was quite good, and they even served fine wine." During dinner, Fang Liuming also mentioned this again.

Pei Qin nodded, looking at the others, "Why are all of you looking at me as if I’m really worried!?"

"Big sister! Don’t worry! Second sister’s wedding was very splendid, the Zhao family won’t mistreat her!" Pei Wendong took her hand.

Pei Qin grinned, "The ones who are worried are you guys, I’ve always been very at ease. If they dare to lift a finger or mouth off, I’ll directly take them down, what’s there to worry about!"

The others fell silent. Pei Yuan had just married into the Zhao family, and she was already threatening to deal with them? Was that really okay?

"It’s time to go back and rest." Mo Heng came over to pull her away.

Everyone went off to wash up and returned to their rooms to sleep. freёnovelkiss.com

Mo Heng thought she might not be able to sleep, but before long, she fell deeply asleep. He had only just finished bathing...

Pei Qin was quite satisfied with Zhao Xiaochen, she had done everything she could for Pei Yuan, there was nothing left for her to worry about.

The next day, people from both towns were still talking about Pei Qin’s generous manner in marrying off her sister, about the good fortune of the Zhao family of Qinghe Town in acquiring a bride, and how many envied Pei Yuan. Although she had no mother or father, having such a formidable elder sister was far better! She didn’t face any grievance or disrespect from her in-laws, and she married into a good family with dignity, bringing a lavish dowry with her.

Everyone also became more aware that Sister Peiqin and her siblings were different. Although they didn’t show off, they indeed stood apart. Soy sauce was not cheap, but it wasn’t possible to earn all that silver in a short time to spend on Pei Yuan’s wedding, and then give it away to another family. In a couple of years, there was still another sister to wed off, they certainly couldn’t empty their family fortune after marrying off two sisters.
