Chapter 363: Chapter 363 Pei Qin, I Will Marry You (5)_1

Pei Yuan instantly became awkward, her face flushing bright red. Pei Qian’s little face reddened slightly, and she pursed her lips, muttering softly, "It’s got to be poked through sooner or later anyway!"

Pei Qin rolled her eyes to the heavens and called Shen Songming in.

Shen Songming entered, carrying a jar of sauce-pork trotters, and placed them on the table.

Pei Yuan went to take them, "I’ll take them to the kitchen."

Pei Qian didn’t move, knowing her elder sister was unreliable! She looked straight at Shen Songming and bluntly asked him, "Brother Songming! You like my elder sister, don’t you? You were originally hard-fated, having lost two fiancées. Wanting to marry a daughter from a great household again, you definitely wouldn’t find any willing. Those from small families are even less desirable than ours! My elder sister knows so much and has earned you a lot of money. She is also more good-looking than that Sun Xiujin. Marrying my elder sister would be a great deal for you!"

Pei Qin stretched out her hand but couldn’t stop her as she rattled off a bunch, making it seem like a sin if Shen Songming didn’t marry her sister.

Shen Songming listened to Pei Qian and realized that she did have a talent for business. So young, yet her skill at selling things was not small. Only, she was selling a person, and it was Pei Qin, whom he dared not take!

"Right! Brother Songming! My elder sister might have a bit of a temper, but she’s really not bad! She’s fit for the hall, suitable for the kitchen! Plus, when you combine your eight characters, it’s extremely auspicious. I guess in the whole world, it would be hard to find another like my elder sister who matches your horoscope so well!" Pei Qian kept on promoting without sparing any effort.

Shen Songming nodded in agreement, thinking that not just the whole world, even the entire Earth wouldn’t have another Pei Qin.

Seeing him nod, Pei Qian’s eyes gleamed, "Brother Songming! You also think marrying my elder sister would be a good deal, right? By next February, our mourning period will be over, and my elder sister will be seventeen. You have turned twenty already, a few years older than my elder sister! Both of you aren’t getting any younger, so why not settle the marriage early?"

"Pei Qian! Get out here!" Pei Qin, at the end of her patience, gritted her teeth, went up to her, grabbed her by the collar, and hauled her out.

After dragging her out, Pei Qin went back to the room, faced Shen Songming with a dark expression, and said, "You can roll out too!" Damn it, everyone was trying to find her a man, talking about marriage, were they all sick or what?

Seeing her intimidating face, Shen Songming didn’t dare speak up, glanced at her cautiously, and tiptoed out.

However, Pei Qian was not ready to give up on Shen Songming just yet—he was nice and wealthy. She reckoned you couldn’t find another like him in the whole of Runing Prefecture. Plus, his reputation of outliving his wives wasn’t great, so marrying her elder sister wouldn’t be a loss. She had to hold fast to this opportunity! Once her elder sister married the magistrate’s son, the Old Pei’s House, as well as those with ill intentions, would see, and it would blind their dog eyes!

So, since Pei Qin wouldn’t let them go out, Pei Qian wrote a letter and had Lu Hao discreetly deliver it to Shen Songming, even though it pained her to give Lu Hao a string of fifty wen money.

Lu Hao took the money, speechless for a moment, but still delivered the letter to Shen Songming, adding, "...Third Young Lady Pei gave me fifty wen money to deliver this letter to you."

"I’m only worth fifty wen money!?" Shen Songming exclaimed.

"You should be worth much more!" After saying this, Lu Hao quickly left—he still had to get back!

Shen Songming opened the letter irritably, and found it full of Pei Qian’s points about how beneficial it would be for him to marry Pei Qin, and didn’t hide the fact that he liked Pei Qin—they all knew it. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have sent such a valuable jade hairpin for Pei Qin to wear on the significant day of her hairpin ceremony. In fact, now that her elder sister had worn his hairpin, she was his person, and he must take responsibility for her!
