The Eldest Daughter of a Rural Family

Chapter 518: Chapter 518 Peach Blossom Luck (5)_1

Pei Qian looked at her and it seemed she was quite willing to entertain this marriage proposal, secretly curling her lips. A person like Sun Tingyu wanting to marry into the Fang family would surely mess things up! She had approached them with ill intentions from the start; she didn’t even consider her own standing before wishing to marry into the Fang family. If it weren’t for her eldest sister and second sister disagreeing about breaking ties with the Fangs, which would require further interactions in the future, she would let them marry whomever they loved!

Her gaze shifted, watching Fang Liuming go out, and she followed to pour some water.

When Fang Liuming saw her approaching, he looked at her with full of smiles, "Cousin Qian!"

Pei Qian pursed her lips as she approached and spoke in a low voice, "Sun Xiujin previously wanted to climb the social ladder through Brother Songming, but he wasn’t willing; she and her aunt have held a grudge against my sister for quite a while now! You better keep your eyes peeled and not just marry anyone who comes along! If they end up related to our family, it won’t be with good intentions!"

"Hmm! I’ll be careful." Fang Liuming said with a smile.

Pei Qian looked at him suspiciously, wondering what was so funny. If it weren’t for her elder sister truly caring for him as a cousin, she wouldn’t bother asking at all!

Fang Liuming, in a very good mood, carried the tea back to the rear courtyard.

Pei Qian also took some water back to her room, "Is there anything left unsaid? Your brother-in-law must be growing impatient by now."

It had been a while since dinner, but Sun Lizheng and Old Scholar Fang were still talking in the back.

"Arranging a marriage is no simple feat." Pei Qin thought that Old Scholar Fang wouldn’t agree; it wasn’t that he looked down on the Sun Lizheng family. If Fang Liuming performed well in his studies and succeeded next year, he could marry a wife who would be an asset to him. Unless Fang Liuming was smitten with someone, with mutual affection, then there was nothing more to be said.

Although Old Scholar Fang hoped to marry his eldest grandson to a helpful bride, establishing a powerful connection, he had his own considerations. Sun Lizheng had only been Lizheng for a few years, and he himself was still vigorous and capable of serving as Lizheng for at least another decade. By marrying into his family, the status of the Fang family in the entire Taiping Town, from Fang Family Village upwards, would become even more stable. That’s why he didn’t outright refuse and included the Sun Lizheng family in his considerations.

Sun Lizheng, feeling that the conversation was almost enough, and after having had a fair amount of drink, stood up to leave as Old Scholar Fang didn’t reject the proposal, which meant there was interest.

Once home, he called for Miao’s and his daughter-in-law, emphasizing that they need to guide Sun Tingyu more, and to pay more attention to the proprieties in daily life.

Upon hearing this, Miao’s immediately understood, "You want to arrange a marriage with the Fang family?"

"The Fang family would be an excellent match!" Sun Lizheng said earnestly, his face red from drinking.

Miao’s had seen Fang Liuming several times, and if the marriage was to happen, he would indeed be a respectable choice. However, the fact that Fang Liuming had waited for Pei Qin up until now and still visited the Pei family quite frequently left her feeling somewhat indisposed.

Sun Tingyu’s mother, on the other hand, thought it was a rather good idea, seeing that Young Master Shen and Brother Songming maintained a good relationship with Sister Peiqin, and with Mo Heng’s scholarly prowess aiding Fang Liuming, her son would have an easier time succeeding academically than Li Baoxiang. Perhaps her daughter would even become the Scholar’s Wife first. As for Fang Liuming’s prior wait for Pei Qin, she was now married to Mo Heng, so there was no longer any concern on that front.

"I will pay more attention to Tingyu. Father can decide on this marriage matter!" After a bit of thought, she agreed.

Sun Lizheng nodded.

Elsewhere, Grandma Fang and others also inquired of Old Scholar Fang whether he was planning to arrange a marriage.

Fang Liming expressed his disapproval outright, "It’s not like we can’t find anyone else; I don’t approve of this marriage!" In any case, he, as the father, did not agree. If his son became a Scholar after next year’s examination, they could find a better match!

"The writing’s not even on the wall yet, what are you worried about!" Old Scholar Fang glanced at him with a frown.

But he had included Sun Lizheng family in his considerations, while they were not even on Fang Li’s radar.
