On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, Shazhu went to Qin Family Village to propose to Qin Qianru.
Second Uncle Qin and his wife were quick to accept with delight. Although Qin Qianru wasn’t entirely satisfied with Shazhu’s looks, she knew it would be difficult to find another city dweller with such decent prospects; if it weren’t for the entanglement with Qin Huairu, Shazhu would have likely been married long ago.
The news stirred up the whole village. The Qin family had produced yet another daughter marrying into the city. Before long, many people began visiting the Qin household, convinced that their home possessed excellent Feng Shui. The three sisters were known for being beautiful, gentle, graceful, and industrious. As they grew up, men from the city scrambled to marry them, and all three branches of the Qin family had daughters who had married into the city—what incredible luck! Perhaps by spending more time with the Qin family, they could soak up some of that good fortune themselves.
