Chapter 468: The County Magistrate’s Daughter
Chapter 468: The County Magistrate’s Daughter
"How old are you?"
An Yue turned around and saw that it was Qi Jiner.
As they walked, the two talked to each other about their birthdays.
......
After some conversation, it was concluded that An Yue was half a year older than Qi Jiner.
Qi Jiner sighed slightly and said, "Hey! I envy you so much. You can be yourself freely without being restricted by anyone and do what you want."
"But Miss Qi's life is what others dream of all their lives!"
Qi Jin'er said with resentment, "Yes, the daughter of the county magistrate, a rich lady, but these are all layers of confinement for me."
"It's no exaggeration to say that I wanted to go out for a walk, but my mother refused to let me go even after I asked her many times."
An Yue patted Qi Jiner's arm twice and comforted her, "You can change your mindset. This is also a form of protection."
"Protect?"
"Yes! It protects the purity of Miss Qi's heart, so that she doesn't have to worry about the hardships of life."
"Miss Qi may be so happy that she dances with joy because she got a beautiful flower today. She may also be absolutely happy because she occasionally goes out to see the outside world."
"Hey! So, it really is true that there are gains and losses! We finally got out today, so let's save this topic for next time. Now let's get down to business."
After saying that, Qi Jiner tilted her head and asked with a playful smile: "From now on, can I call you Sister An Yue?"
An Yue waved her hands and said, "No, no, how dare I call Miss Qi my sister?"
"Okay! Stop calling me Miss Qi all the time. From now on, just call me Jin'er."
"But this..."
"Oh, don't say but. I really admire you, and I am willing to be your sister because I want to be your friend. If it were anyone else, humph! There's no way!"
An Yue didn't say anything, but just listened to Qi Jiner quietly.
Qi Jin'er shook An Yue's arm and said coquettishly, "Don't be silent! Is this okay?"
An Yue looked at Qi Jin'er in front of her, smiled slightly and pursed her lips, while Qi Jin'er looked at An Yue with anticipation.
"Well, as long as Miss Qi doesn't mind me being a peasant girl, there's no problem."
"Look at what you said. Take a closer look and see how I, Qi Jin'er, look like that kind of person."
An Yue smiled and shook her head.
"Isn't that right!"
After saying that, she hugged An Yue's arm, tilted her head and asked, "Hehe, Sister An Yue, can I eat lots of cakes you make in the future?"
After hearing this, An Yue didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
She joked, "So Miss Qi is thinking about the cakes in my shop!"
"No, it's not true. In fact, when I was bored in the mansion, I often heard some maids mention you, so I asked them to tell me about you."
An Yue was very surprised after hearing this.
"I've wanted to come out and see you for a long time, but my mother has always refused to let me go out."
"Why did they mention me?"
"They said you are not only good-looking, but also very smart."
"Oh, by the way, they also said that you are young but capable, and you opened a shop in the county town at such a young age."
Qi Jin'er said with a smile: "As for me, the more I listened, the more itchy I felt. I always wanted to sneak out and meet the extraordinary woman they talked about. Today I finally met her, and she really lived up to her reputation."
An Yue felt a little embarrassed by the compliment, but it was also her first day meeting Qi Jiner.
She scratched her nose awkwardly, smiled, turned her head, and continued walking forward.
On the path in front of the village chief's house, with weeds growing on both sides of the road, the two of them were walking and chatting.
Looking at the densely packed roses not far away, An Yue suddenly thought of the roses in her own yard.
Qi Jiner ran forward excitedly and stood on tiptoe to pick the roses.
An Yue hurriedly followed and reminded: "Be careful, there are many small thorns on this branch."
"Okay, these flowers are really beautiful. It would be nice if I could pick some to make flower arrangements."
"It's noon now. If you pick it, it will wither soon."
Qi Jiner carefully picked a few roses and asked An Yue to put them on her double buns.
Afterwards, Qi Jiner also picked two flowers for An Yue and placed them on her double buns.
The two of them put a few pink roses in their hair, which made them look even more pretty and charming.
They also picked a few small branches of roses and held them in their hands.
Qi Jiner wore a rose on her head and held a rose branch in her hand. She danced happily on the spot. The scene was peaceful and beautiful.
An Yue looks about the same age as her, but she can't be as innocent and cute as her.
In terms of family background, identity and various situations, they are completely opposite.
An Yue envied her for being loved by someone, but she envied An Yue for being free and being able to be herself as she pleased.
An Yue must become her own adult. She must remain calm when encountering things, speak carefully, and observe people's expressions when doing things.
An Yue couldn't help but smile warmly when she saw Qi Jiner so happy.
"Miss Qi, let's go back first."
"Hmm? How do you address me, Sister Anyue?"
"Jin...Jin'er."
"Haha, that's right!"
Then, the two prepared to return to the village chief's house.
Just as An Yue turned her head, she seemed to see a familiar plant inadvertently.
She stopped walking and turned her head to take a closer look.
She walked over, squatted down, picked a branch and took a closer look. It seemed to be mint.
I put it close to my nose and sniffed it, but it didn't have the strong scent of mint, and there were a lot of soft hairs on the branches.
An Yue really didn't expect to see it here.
At this time, Qi Jin'er also came over. She asked curiously, "Sister An Yue, what is this?"
An Yuexi smiled and said, "This is fairy grass."
"What's the use of this?"
"Of course there are. You will know later." An Yue said, squatting down again and breaking off a few branches and holding them in her hand.
She planned to take it back to the village chief's house and ask him. She wanted to know the name of the fairy grass in this dynasty.
Soon, the two arrived at the village chief's yard.
Magistrate Qi, who was sitting in the main room, laughed at them and asked, "Haha, what are you two girls whispering about?"
Qi Jin'er smiled and pretended to be arrogant and said, "Humph! You're talking about how Daddy and Mommy won't let me go out."
Magistrate Qi shook his head helplessly and said, "Girl, you can't blame me for this. Normally, it's your mother who doesn't let you go out. Besides, didn't I bring you out today?"
Qi Jin'er said coquettishly: "Hehe, Daddy still loves Jin'er the most."
Magistrate Qi looked at Qi Jin'er lovingly, his eyes full of kindness.
An Yue looked at Qi Jiner and her daughter talking and laughing, and she started laughing too.
At this time, the village chief respectfully said: "Sir, you can have lunch now."
An Yue held the grass in her hand and walked up to the village chief and asked, "Village chief, may I ask what kind of grass this is?"
