Chapter 97 A Good Marriage Match (1)_1
Seeing her stop, Pei Houli smiled, "Da Ya! You’ve come of age, and your mother must surely be worried about your marriage. I’ve always kept you in mind, and this family is from the town. Although they don’t do business, they still have more than twenty acres of land, and both their daughters are married off. They only have one son, and he can read and write! Open the door, and I’ll talk to your mother about arranging a time for you two to meet."
Pei Qin turned her head and looked at him with raised eyebrows, "The conditions aren’t bad, save them for your own daughter! It was clearly stated during the division that our two families shall not interfere with each other’s affairs, and you have no right to meddle in my family’s matters, much less dictate my marriage!"
"Da Ya! Da Ya, don’t go! Such good conditions are hard to find, and the boy is very decent too, being an only son. Marrying him would mean a life of ease. I didn’t even mention this to Si Ya!" Pei Houli shouted after her from outside the door.
Pei Qin didn’t look back as she entered the house.
Pei Houli’s face darkened; he had genuinely found a good marriage prospect, much better than that Qian Dogsheng, and had wanted to tell her when he got back.
Pei Qin didn’t care, but Lady Fang was somewhat tempted. Qinqin was nearly fourteen, and after the New Year, she would be fifteen. With their situation at home, not many good families came to propose marriage—it wasn’t easy to encounter one.
As she walked into the house from outside, the bright winter sunlight shone on her small face, her delicate brows and eyes following her, and her skin inherited from her father was as white as snow and blushed pink. She was still growing and would surely be tall and slender like her father in the future. Casually walking into the house, she exuded an effortless and forthright air. Lady Fang couldn’t help but think to herself, her Qinqin really was beautiful!
And very smart too! She invented the corn-threshing tool, as well as the little pushcart. She could also catch bamboo rats and never shirked work!
