Chapter 818 - 175: You Can Still Be His Concubine Mother_2
"Shut your mouth!" Grandma Fang slapped him, Qianqian has everything going for her except a bit of a fiery temper, she has become much more stable over the year, and she’s capable too, much better than those pampered young ladies from rich families.
Lady Yu watched her eldest son, unable to hide the joy on his face, and she was happy too. Her son marrying someone he liked meant a loving marriage and harmonious life, and their future looked promising!
With two large carts, the Fang family went ahead and proposed marriage.
Everyone understood and had a moment of realization. No wonder Fang Liuming, after becoming a Scholar, didn’t have marriage talks arranged for him. No wonder so many, including Old Zhao’s brother-in-law, Young Master Yang, were rejected when they asked for Pei Qian’s hand in marriage. The two families intended to strengthen their bond through marriage!
Pei Qin now held a Third Rank Enjoin, Mo Heng was a Ninth Rank Inspector, and Pei Wendong passed the exam to become a Scholar; they could be considered part of an official family. And with Fang Liuming being a Palace Graduate from two examinations and holding an official position in one of the Capital Jingcheng’s Six Ministries, having such a brother-in-law was truly prestigious!
Their alliance through marriage was indeed cause for celebration!
Since the marriage was agreed upon, Pei Qin obviously wouldn’t say anything unpleasant but found a dignified excuse. Previously, they refused because Pei Qian was still young, and they were worried Fang Liuming, being an official in the capital, might not resist temptation. They didn’t want to jeopardize the relationship between the two families if the marriage agreement led to complications. That was why they fabricated an excuse about not marrying close kin.
This was Old Scholar Fang and Grandma Fang’s guess too, as it seemed the most reasonable explanation.
