Chapter 603: Pei Yuan Gets Married (3)_1
Sun Xiujin, hearing her intentions, firmly disagreed, "If you’re looking for me, find someone better! Even if I have to be a concubine!"
She had already been married and was divorced back to her family; her reputation was ruined, and it was impossible to find someone better. Even if she were to become a concubine, those wealthy families preferred young and beautiful girls! The eldest daughter-in-law pursed her lips, saying no more. Wasn’t it nice to marry a honest man and lead a simple life? She should hurry up and get married steadily, so it wouldn’t affect her own daughter, Tingyu’s marriage too much!
Miao’s sobbed with Sun Xiujin and urged her to trust the matchmaker who was helping them find a match.
There were no consorts from wealthy families, but there were widowers unable to find a wife who wanted a stepmother for their children, and there were also poor and lazy men who made a heap of demands for a dowry, which infuriated Lady Tian to no end.
In Liu’er Alley, Pei Qin was already preparing to marry off her sister.
Pei Yuan’s wedding garments were being embroidered, and several sets of clothes were made. Some that had no time to be embroidered were bought from Capital Jingcheng.
The clothes and fabrics, the dowry jewelry, and the silver saved in the chest were all prepared by Pei Qin early on. She also bought a shop for her dowry, "If you want to do something on your own, it’s convenient. If not, you can just rent it out and collect the rent. As for the land, it’s on that hill in Qinghe Town. After tidying it up a bit, it can be planted with sweet potatoes and sunflowers, and that’s another source of income."
"This is too much, big sister! My dowry is already plentiful!" Pei Yuan refused. A shop alone cost more than a thousand taels of silver to buy, and that hill had more land than Taiping Mountain by several dozens of acres, also worth several hundred taels of silver.
"The more income you have, the more confidence you get. When you speak, you’ll be firm, whether you’re outside or at home, no one will dare to bully you! It also gives me peace of mind," Pei Qin said with a chuckle.
