Chapter 605: Pei Yuan Gets Married (5)_1
At that time, Pei Qin didn’t let Lady Yu go into detail, and was given two paintings which she tossed into the bottom of her chest. They were just pictures of men and women in bed, and she had seen her fair share of adult films. Lady Yu, blushing and evasive, made it seem like such a big deal when it wasn’t. Besides, she was getting married while pregnant, so she considered herself an experienced driver. Whether Lady Yu explained or not made no difference.
Let Lady Yu corrupt Pei Yuan instead!
The next day arrived, and it was the chosen date. Fang Liuming and Fang Fu had both returned, and various relatives and close friends came over to deliver gifts, adding to the bride’s trousseau.
The wedding gift from Shen Songming also arrived at just the right time.
Given that the full-moon gift Ji Bingchu had sent to Jiujiu was so dazzling, everyone was dying of curiosity about Shen Songming’s gift to Pei Yuan, eager to see what valuable item it was.
Pei Qin held the small box, her brows twitching slightly, and upon opening it, indeed, she wanted to curse.
Inside were two silver pocket watches, each adorned with an openwork dragon and phoenix pattern signifying auspiciousness, and silver chains. When opened, the clear and exquisite scale inside had already been set to the correct time.
Pei Qin had been urging the issue of the watches for a while. In the beginning, Shen Songming said they were still in development, and with too many orders for standing clocks, they couldn’t keep up, causing delays with the watches. Since last year, he openly claimed they had stopped production, yet now he brazenly brought over a watch as a gift.
Everyone in town knew that the Pei family owned a valuable standing clock with a clear display of time. There was no need to watch for signals or listen for announcements; just one glance and the time was known. It was a gift from Shen Songming, and only wealthy aristocratic families like the Wang family and Landlord Chang could afford such a luxury.
Seeing that these two smaller devices could also tell time and functioned like the standing clock inspired envy in everyone.
