Chapter 18: Birthdays
"Let's go there." After Qing An said this, he ignored the voice of the person behind him, and walked over quickly.
The shopkeeper saw Qing'an coming, the expression on his face did not change, he was still lazily looking at the counter, his eyes staring out the window and not knowing what he was thinking.
Qing An was not angry when she saw this scene, she walked into the house and soon saw a lot of beautiful jewelry.
Qing An picked up one of the hairpins and put it in his hand and turned it upside down, and sure enough, this ancient hairpin was still genuine silver.
Qing An nodded with satisfaction, she turned her head and asked, "Boss, how do you sell this hairpin?" β
"One or two." The boss looked back and replied.
Qing An's brows furrowed slightly when he saw him act like this, this person has no respect for others at all.
Liuli, who was following Qing An, was a little anxious, she had never seen Qing An being wronged, so at this time she frowned, her lips opened slightly, and she was ready to reason with the boss.
Qing An put down the hairpin in his hand, and his eyes suddenly glanced at the appearance of Liuli.
"Liuli, don't be presumptuous." Qing'an patted Liuli's hand, now on the street, I don't know how many people are waiting to see her make jokes, if she has a problem, she will lose the face of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Ruri also realized the seriousness of her anger, she stuck out her tongue, and took two steps back with some embarrassment.
Qing Anzai couldn't figure out the boss's thoughts, but after all, she was a stranger, and she just bought a hairpin from him, so she wouldn't quarrel.
"Boss, I want this one, help me wrap it up." Qing'an said to the boss with a hairpin.
Her fingers were white and slender, and the hairpin was placed in her hand, and it looked more and more beautiful because the sun was shining on it through the window.
The boss looked back a few times, probably because he thought it was rude, so he quickly turned his gaze away.
Qing An didn't feel anything, she reached out and took the wrapped hairpin, thanked her, and walked towards the door.
Qing An walked around for a while, probably because the maid behind him had been following, so he was a lot more restrained.
"Forget it, go back, I'm a little tired." Qing An looked at the things on the stalls around him, thought about it, and still opened his mouth to suggest.
However, it is not too early today, and everyone agrees.
Three days after buying the hairpin, Qing's birthday has arrived.
Qing An went to the courtyard where Qing did not regret early in the morning.
"Fourth sister, this is a gift I prepared, don't dislike it!" Qing An smiled at Qing Buregret.
Probably because of today's birthday, although Qing Buregret was not very happy, he still nodded slightly and took the hairpin in Qing'an's hand.
Qing An was watching his gift being put aside by Qing Buregret, and pursed his lips slightly, you know, he didn't go to buy one casually.
However, since Qing didn't regret that she didn't come to trouble him, she naturally wouldn't come forward to find him.
Qing An Zaizheng and Liuli were about to leave, but they didn't expect someone to suddenly pass the word over, saying that Ji Wangye was coming.
At this moment, the expressions on everyone's faces suddenly changed, and the arrival of Ji Cunxi probably means that this father is ready to marry Ji Cunxi without regrets.
Qing An didn't care when he looked at it, but his eyes swept around everyone.
Seeing that Qing's face was full of smiles, she straightened her clothes and looked at the door expectantly.
However, his two sisters didn't react, and if you look closely, you can see the slightly jealous look on the face of the second sister Qing Yingpian.
Qing Yingpian's heart was full of jealousy at the moment.
Obviously, this prince is hers, but she was actually intercepted halfway by Qing Buregret, because of Qing's unrepentant identity, she naturally could only hold back her anger.
"Lord Ji is hereβ" Following the voice of the family, Ji Cunxi walked in with his guards.
Ji Cunxi wore a bright red dress today, he already looked a little girly, but now it seems that he is becoming more and more girlish.
"Ji Wang Ye'an." Everyone saluted one after another, and in order not to let himself be in the limelight, Qing An also stood in the crowd and blessed his body.
Unexpectedly, Ji Cunxi actually looked straight at Qing Anzai.
Qing An felt a little chill in her back when she was looked at by Ji Cunxi's gaze, and she took a step back slightly, allowing herself to disappear into the crowd.
Ji Cunxi saw Qing Anzai's appearance, and the corners of his mouth hooked, but he knew who the protagonist was today.
"Fourth Miss, happy birthday." Ji Cunxi instructed his subordinates to send their own gifts.
Qing Buregret heard this, the smile on her face expanded, she blessed her body, and said a little shyly: "Then I don't regret it, I thank the prince here." β
Qing An saw that Qing had no regrets like this, and laughed out loud.
After all, she didn't regret the Qing she saw on weekdays, but she had that kind of big grin, and she became gentle all of a sudden, which made others a little unbearable.
Qing An didn't control his voice in this laughter, which caused everyone to turn their heads one after another.
Qing Buregret's face suddenly turned pale, she looked at Ji Cunxi in front of her, took a deep breath, and decided to settle accounts with Qing An in private.
Qing'an knew that she was wrong, she stuck out her tongue, bowed her head a little embarrassed, and pretended to laugh with Liuli.
This little episode was quickly forgotten by everyone.
After lunch, everyone said goodbye.
Sending everyone away, Qing Buregret slumped on the chair, her mind was full of Qing An's laughter.
Qing Bu regretted it, the more she thought about it, the more uncomfortable she became, she stood up, and just looked at the eldest sister Qing Bu who had not gone far outside the door.
"Let's go, accompany me to talk to my sister." Qing Buregret's eyes rolled, and an idea suddenly came to mind.
"Yes, miss." The little maid beside Qing nodded without regrets.
"Sister, wait for me."
Qing Buregret ran two steps, because the shoes under her feet were really not suitable for running, so she hurriedly shouted twice, hoping that Qing Buli could stop and wait for her.
Qing Buli heard Qing Buli's words without regret, she raised her eyebrows slightly, thought about it or stopped waiting in place.
Qing Buregret hurriedly walked a few steps, Qing Buli has never liked to wait for others, but fortunately, Qing Buregret is her sister, so he didn't turn around and leave.
Qing Buli looked at Qing Buregret running towards her, the corners of her mouth hooked slightly, but she still had a cold look on her face: "Is there something wrong with my sister?" β
"Sister, I want to talk to you about the third sister." Qing did not regret standing still, she took a few breaths, and reached out to hold Qing's arm.
Qing Buregret didn't hide her dislike for Qing Anzai at all, after all, in her opinion, she and Qing are inseparable from the same mother, and there is nothing that can't be said directly.
"Where's Qing'an?" Qing Buli looked at the hand that Qing Buregret put on his arm, and muttered slightly twice in his mouth, "What's wrong with the three?" What does the two of us talk about her? β
At this moment, Qing Buli had no patience, so the handkerchief in her hand was folded three times by her and shaken.
"The third sister is so faceless in front of everyone, I really can't help it......" Qing Buregret's mouth pursed, and her voice also had a coquettish taste.
When Qing Buli heard this, her brows frowned slightly, and she quickly remembered in her mind how Qing An was laughing just now.
