The Eldest Daughter of a Rural Family

Seeing her approach again, Pei Qian rolled her eyes, really wanting to shoo her away. She clearly looked down on them, was envious of them, had no good intentions, yet she still frequently visited their home.

"When will the Pai Building be finished? Are you going to have a celebration once it’s completed?" Sun Tingyu had recently been very interested in the Pai Building’s progress.

"When it’s finished, that’s for the imperial envoy to decide!" Pei Qian pursed her lips.

"I’ve heard that many officials are coming, and there will be a meeting too!" Sun Tingyu thought to rush back, also feeling envious and jealous that so many officials were going to come.

"I don’t know about the meeting, but certainly, the Magistrates of Zhi Prefecture and the surrounding County Magistrates and such will definitely come! Our family’s Pai Building is bestowed by the Emperor!" Pei Qian said, hardly able to conceal her smugness, wanting Sun Tingyu to die of envy and jealousy!

After leaving there, Sun Tingyu was filled with anger, "Bragging so much, who knows if it’s even true!"

Soon the Pai Building was completed.

There was no meeting, but Magistrate Meng Dinglun of Runing Prefecture, along with the Magistrate of Zhi Prefecture and various County Magistrates, all rushed over to pay respects to the Pai Building.

People from eighty miles around also came in large numbers, making for a grand scene.

At this time, the imperial eunuch once again read the imperial decree, with Sister Peiqin and her brother leading the kneeling and rituals, officially marking the completion of the Pai Building.

As the County Magistrate of Yuanyang County, Wu Dongsi rewarded Pei Qin and her brother with thirty taels of silver and public recognition, even jokingly saying he would prefer a daughter like Peiqin, even better than a son!
