Chapter 361: Chapter 361 Pei Qin, I’m Marrying You (3)_1

Seeing him come from the workshop with a displeased expression on his face, Sun Xiujin halted in her tracks just as she was leaving the door and watched him walk by.

Shen Songming was feeling annoyed and in an extremely foul mood, he glanced at her and proceeded to walk past her.

She had put so much thought into it, yet he didn’t even bother to give it a glance; Sun Xiujin felt humiliated and even more resentful. She was just seeking the position of a concubine. If she wasn’t good enough, was Pei Qin any better!?

Pei Qian came out looking for him and, seeing his unhappy face, couldn’t help but ask, "Brother Songming, what’s wrong with you?"

Shen Songming grunted in response.

Pei Qian was puzzled to see that he wasn’t in a good mood and casually asked him, "Brother Songming, what time were you born?"

"Five fifteen in the morning, why do you ask?" Shen Songming was also curious.

"No reason, just asking!" Pei Qian chuckled. Brother Songming’s birthday was on the third of March, and five fifteen in the morning, in terms of traditional timekeeping, was a quarter past dawning. She had his birth time now! She would take it together with her elder sister’s birth chart and find someone to match them!

Pei Qin didn’t remember her own birth chart, but Pei Yuan did remember it since Lady Fang had mentioned it after taking a fancy to Zou Xing, and Pei Yuan had a good memory.

Once Pei Qian had inquired about both their birth charts, she called out to go out and have fun, "They say there’s a temple fair in Lin County this month, let’s go and catch the fair!" When they got there, she would find a monk in the temple to match the charts. If they were compatible, she would give them more money.

"Didn’t we just visit Lin County? What’s so good about temple fairs, they’re crowded with hordes of people!" Pei Qin was uninterested. Going to the fair meant going to the temple, and although she didn’t believe in superstitions, what if they encountered some reputable monk?! Besides, both she and Shen Songming were outsiders in this ancient era, and while they hadn’t caused any trouble yet, could running rampant in a temple, a place of dignity and sanctity, possibly convince Buddha to send them back?

"I want to go! We didn’t go out at all for this year’s Double Ninth Festival!" Pei Qian insisted with wide eyes.

Pei Yuan frowned, "We are still in mourning; let’s go after we have finished the mourning period next year!"

Pei Qian was startled and immediately felt annoyed. She had forgotten that entertainment was forbidden during the mourning period! But they couldn’t wait until after the mourning period to address her elder sister’s situation—they needed to plan now. Once Brother Songming returned home, they would discuss it next year. Arranging a marriage between the two families would take a long time. After some thought, she said, "Then... let’s not go!"

Pei Yuan saw there seemed to be something on her sister’s mind. Later that evening, while they were sewing together, she asked about it.

Pei Qian showed her a piece of paper with the birth charts of Shen Songming and Pei Qin, and told her, "I found out that Brother Songming has outlived two fiancées and two concubines. His destiny is strong! If he takes another wife from a big family, surely it won’t end well; he might even outlive his children and never have a wife!"

Pei Yuan also looked on wide-eyed; the reason Shen Songming was nice to them was all because of their elder sister. She had once heard him privately call her ’Pei Laoda’. However, the fact that he had outlived two fiancées was news to Pei Yuan, "If his strong destiny harms our elder sister, what then? If it’s true, no matter how good he is, elder sister can’t be with him!"

"Elder sister is so stubborn. She probably has a strong fate too! This is the birth chart, isn’t it? Let’s go to the temple and get a senior monk to match them!" Pei Qian looked at her sister, hoping she would help cover for her and make this happen.

Pei Yuan was somewhat speechless, "Where did you get the idea that because elder sister is stubborn, her destiny must be strong too? Moreover, if elder sister weren’t so stubborn, it would have been impossible for our mother and us to separate and live independently. After mother passed away, being less stubborn wouldn’t have helped uphold our family!"

"Yes, yes, you’re right! I know! Let’s just go to the temple and ask now! What if they are compatible?" Pei Qian was anxious about this matter. "Don’t forget, Sun Xiujin is engaged but not yet married! And she’s still eagerly keeping an eye on Brother Songming! If we don’t deal with elder sister’s situation, do you want those with bad intentions to get involved?"
