Chapter 403: To Have Such a Dream (8)_1
The merit was Pei Qin’s and her brother’s; Old Pei’s House just basked in the reflected glory of some imperial rewards.
Before and after the New Year, The Imperial Court also finally agreed on what sort of imperial rewards to give to Sister Peiqin and her brother.
One hundred taels of gold, numerous rolls of brocade and fine cloth, and most importantly, a commemorative plaque, along with the Pai Building bestowed by The Imperial Court.
That’s right, the Pai Building, also known as the Archway.
The moment Pei Qin heard about the archway, she silently thought of the Chastity Arch. She was ignorant and had only heard of that; she had never heard of receiving an archway for planting sweet potatoes, and was this without any hidden meaning!?
Seeing that she was still unsatisfied, Shen Songming glared at her, whispering to her, "Everything is unsubstantial, but this Pai Building is the most important! Once it is built, your name will be firmly established. Not to speak of leaving a fragrant legacy for a hundred generations, at the very least, this Pai Building is constructed by imperial order, a sacred honor given by the Emperor, and no one can take that away!"
Pei Qin pursed her lips, "Such an insubstantial thing is quite good, isn’t it?"
"You don’t want it?" Shen Songming raised an eyebrow.
Pei Qin coughed and stood her ground, not saying a word.
Shen Songming looked at her, smiling. Hadn’t they been busy for two years just for this!?
The whole town was astounded, and the faces of Old Pei’s House turned utterly ugly. The imperial rewards were gone. They were given one hundred taels of gold and some rewards, but now this came, slapping them hard.
