Chapter 226: Chapter 225 Shake off the Little Fatty_1
"However, there’s still too much flesh on this body."
Su Pan’er patted the excess flesh around her waist. As it appeared now, she was about 160 catties, at her height of roughly 175 cm, the ideal weight should be 130 catties.
Shedding 30 catties of extra weight, how easily can that be done?
"Woman should have some flesh, it’s more comforting when you hold them. You’re not too fat or too thin right now, just right. That’s what I prefer!"
Qin Yi hurried to declare his preference.
He was delighted with Su Pan’er’s current obviously plump figure. Especially that certain part which his hands couldn’t manage to encompass, he was beyond pleased.
"You may like it, but I may not."
Su Pan’er gave him a side glance, then stood up to straighten her clothes.
As she raised her eyes, she saw that Qin Yi was still looking at her deeply.
A thought flashed across Su Pan’er’s mind.
Could it be that not everything Qin Yi said before was the truth?
Was he hiding something from her?
While the two were joking around, a knock on the door interrupted them, and a maidservant’s voice came: "Scholar Qin, Madame Qin, we’re maidservants from the County Magistrate’s residence, our master is waiting for you in the parlor."
It turned out that County Magistrate Jun had sent maidservants to summon.
"Understood, we’ll be there shortly."
Qin Yi and Su Pan’er shared a smile, and then hastily tidied themselves up before they followed the maidservant to the parlor.
The Qin Yi who was always charming and unruly in front of Su Pan’er, once outsiders were present, became exceedingly polite. This nearly knocked Su Pan’er’s glasses off!
Qin Yi’s behavior in front of her was completely different from his behavior in front of others!
Following two maidservants to pay their respects to the County Magistrate, Su Pan’er’s mind was churning.
She felt quite uncertain about this County Magistrate Jun.
"Both of you missies, judging from your accents, it seems you are from the Capital City? Have you been following County Magistrate Jun since he took his post?"
She casually inquired.
The two maidservants looked at each other, then the older one of them bowed.
"Indeed, Madame Qin, watch your step," she said.
Although they were just maidservants, Chancellor’s household servants were treated as seventh-rank officials. In the Capital City, they were usually surrounded by admirers. Here, they mainly encountered ignorant country folk, so being called "missy" was quite pleasing.
Their defensiveness is quite strong, huh!
Su Pan’er laughed carelessly: "Thank you for your reminder. Lord Jun is such an upright and promising young man, we commoners in Yongze County are fortunate to have found a good Parent Official. By the way, I don’t know the County Magistrate’s full name yet..."
Her words were quite direct.
The two maidservants had no choice but to answer.
"You don’t know our master’s full name? You really are ignorant. As for ’Ruochen,’ it means everything is growing and extending, and coming out in its time. Not only is our master extremely handsome, even his name is exquisitely poetic, making one intoxicated in its profound meaning."
It was clear that both maidservants were admiringly devoted to Jun Ruochen.
"Um, both of you missies are right."
Su Pan’er’s eyes sparkled: "The term ’elegant as a flying dragon, good timing and scenery’ indeed sounds good, it’s a fine name."
Jun Ruochen, is it?
Her heart suddenly skipped several beats.
In her past life, he was Jun Ruochen, and now he is Jun Ruochen? Despite the similar sounding names and closely resembling looks, Su Pan’er’s heart leaped with joy and anticipation as if she had met an old friend.
Perhaps, she should test him!
With that thought, an unconscious hint of anticipation colored her cheeks.
Qin Yi’s heart skipped a beat. He knitted his brows and tightened his lips.
Yesterday, he had noticed that Pan’er’s gaze towards Lord Jun was different, and now she was asking intentionally about his full name. What was the reason behind this?
In the midst of their chatter, the parlor was now in sight.
Qin Yi quickly stepped forward, walking into the room alongside Su Pan’er.
"Mr. Qin arrives? Please come in quickly."
Jun Ruochen greeted them energeticly: "Did you rest well last night? As I was unsure of your tastes, I ordered the servants to prepare a variety of dishes. If anything is missing, please instruct my servants. Remember, no need to stand on ceremony."
Qin Yi and Su Pan’er acknowledged County Magistrate Jun’s words, and seated themselves. The table was laden with a wide variety of food, congee, buns, noodles, rice, etc. Judging from this, County Magistrate Jun was quite considerate.
With a slight smile, Qin Yi and Su Pan’er offered their courteous greetings: "Thank you to the esteemed magistrate for the thoughtful preparations for the two of us. We both had a good rest. The breakfast is already very sumptuous. Our usual breakfast is just simple congee and vegetables."
With that, they picked up their bamboo chopsticks.
Su Pan’er also picked up her chopsticks and randomly took a bite of the closest pastry. It was crispy, soft and chewy, sweet but not cloying, the taste was indeed unique and delicious.
Jun Ruochen, being from a noble background, observed the manners of not speaking while eating or sleeping. The breakfast was exquisite and he only tasted a bite of each dish.
After a few bites, he set down his bowl and chopsticks, accepting a cloth handed to him by a maidservant behind him to wipe his mouth.
Seeing this, Qin Yi also put down his chopsticks.
Su Pan’er had hardly touched the food, but she also set down her chopsticks, following Qin Yi’s actions.
"Both of you, please feel at ease and do not stand on ceremony."
"We’ve both had our fill, thank you for your generosity."
Without skipping a beat, Qin Yi made up a lie. Rising to his feet, he thanked County Magistrate Jun: "However, we’ve been away from home for two or three days, our families are probably worried sick. It’s urgent that we return home as soon as possible. Plus, there’s the matter with Old Xue..."
Su Pan’er also rose from her seat. She originally wanted to test Jun Ruochen, but it seemed like there was no chance for that now.
"No worries!"
Jun Ruochen laughed out loud: "I am also headed to the Lui family’s mansion, why don’t we go together?"
County Magistrate Jun wants to go there with them?
"Well..."
Qin Yi was slightly taken aback. After a pause, somewhat awkwardly, he coughed lightly, "No offense to County Magistrate Jun, but we, husband and wife, are making our first visit to the Lui family. It is inappropriate to go empty-handed. We need to buy some gifts at the market in the county city, so..."
"Oh, so it’s about that."
Jun Ruochen burst into laughter: "I have already prepared two sets of gifts, you just need to go ahead."
He then turned around and instructed his servants to prepare the carriage.
Qin Yi turned his head and exchanged a glance with Su Pan’er. Even if they wanted to refuse now, it seemed impossible.
All they could do was thank him.
Everyone got into the carriage, forming a grand procession headed towards the Lui Family’s Mansion.
Only then did Su Pan’er shift her gaze from Jun Ruochen and start to examine the carriage they were in.
The carriage was made of redwood, spacious and comfortable with soft cushions. The floor was covered with a layer of white animal fur, making the ride smooth without any bumps.
Qin Yi, who apparently was riding in such a carriage for the first time, seemed a little awkward at first but quickly regained his composure. A noble aura, as if it were hidden within his veins, subtly radiated from him.
Jun Ruochen looked surprised.
As for Su Pan’er, she seemed perfectly at ease. She leaned back, peeking through the gap in the carriage curtain, frequently observing the bustling scenery on the streets.
