Pei Houli received Lady Fang's letter and promptly began to arrange the viewing. The next day, news arrived that they were coming to the family home for viewing, asking Lady Fang and Pei Qin to prepare.
Lady Fang also worked through the night to finish Pei Qin's new cotton-padded coat and trousers, a peach-red fine cotton cloth, and embroidered some falling petals along the collar and hem with some silk thread left over from before.
After trying on the new clothes, Pei Qin declared them good before attempting to take them off.
"Qinqin! Just keep them on! You're of age now, and it's time to discuss marriage," Lady Fang lovingly stretched out her hand to stroke Pei Qin's head. "I'm not capable of much, and I've even held you back. This young man from the town is not bad, his family situation is passable, and I've invited them to view you."
