A Noble Marriage

The Penchant www.xbiquge.cc, the fastest update on the latest chapter of Noble Marriage [Anna]!    Returning to the city of Petersburg, Anna felt like she was in a different world.

Compared to the fresh and restful atmosphere of the suburbs, the air in the city seemed to be dripping with noise and pomp.

Andrey had been in Russia too long.

"There's still a week to go, and I don't see how they can think it's too long." Andrei complained.

Charlie patted him on the shoulder and laughed easily, "Maybe they're afraid you'll grow horns again where they can't see them." He finished with a comical horn pose that made Andre laugh.

The two boys were gabbing in the carriage, and Anna looked on, sighing in her heart.

She herself had never met such a good friend.

She was not always the oldest, but she always took care of others, but where she was, the cheeky girls did not always understand some of her old-fashioned ideas. She herself sometimes feels like she was born in the wrong era.

Anna is not dependent on electronics, and her social circle has never been very large. When people talk about her, hardly anyone says anything bad about her, like "Ah, she's a good girl" kind of comment. It's positive, but it's not good.

Fortunately, she always had a world of her own inside her.

Her eyes are clear and her mind is alive, so she always sees the best in things. Like now, detached from her envy, Anna looked out of the carriage window.

She admired the refinement of the era, the pedestrians on the old streets, the street lamps on the corners, and the women with children. Some wore satin dresses, some wore plain groups of coarse cloth, and some of the children of poor families were playing in the street corners, each showing their thin little legs as the weather warmed up.

"Are we there yet?" Andrey asked.

The boy's hair was a little disheveled, but his face was flushed, and the usual pursed lips when the bit of good behavior was now completely gone, just like a normal somewhat sweet little boy.

Anna raised her hand and tried to smooth Andrei's hair, who shook his head, still not liking the contact.

"Okay." She pretended to sigh a little sadly.

"You can touch mine." Charlie said, and stuck his little blonde head out.

"You're not a pet." Andre grunted.

"Oh, there's nothing wrong with being a pet." Charlie said with a roll of his eyes, getting a glare as if he was the traitor inside the little man.

Anna was in a good mood and she stroked Charlie's little head before saying, "Listen, we're already here."

"How do you know?" Charlie asked.

"Peter kicks the board unconsciously when he's about to reach his destination." Anna explained.

A short while later, Peter, the coachman, told them in a loud voice that they had arrived.

"I'd like to pick out a nice brooch." Andre cooed, then got out of the carriage with the characteristic boyish acuity, though instead of throwing his head in himself, he was a little faintly impatient, yet still waiting for Anna to get out.

"Little gentleman." Anna made fun of it, followed Andrei's raised hand to hold it slightly then got out of the carriage.

The boy blushed a little.

Charlie said, "You know he quite admires your husband."

"Oh, shut up, Charlie." Andre said sharply, then nudged his friend and this time he took the lead and ran inside the store, the blond boy following behind him.

"Please wait around for a while now." Anna said to the coachman.

Peter smiled a little, his tone relaxed: "You just take your time with them. Young Master Andrei is a dutiful boy."

Anna knew that Peter was referring to the fact that Andrei was bringing his mother a gift. Although at his age he will already start to want to grow up by away from parental care, but the love for his mother will not be less.

Seeing that the boy had run to the store, Anna also walked in.

It was a jewelry store, one of the most popular ones in Petersburg recently.

Anna first found Andrei and the others and made sure of their location before she started to look around the store.

The owners were known to be a middle-aged couple with a young daughter in tow. But the couple was nowhere to be seen, only a busy woman.

The woman wore a plaid dress, the body type is relatively thin, but the shoulder and neck line is very beautiful, a date red hair tidy simple but not lose beauty.

When Anna first came in, the girl was looking for something with her back to them, and by the time she looked up, a lively face spoke to Anna, both were faintly surprised.

The young girl had a pair of slender eyebrows, pupils were a light glazed color, against the fair skin, more than a youthful and lively beauty, and the most amazing thing was that when the girl smiled, Anna felt that the two of them had a five-point resemblance.

"Ah ......"

That little girl is still too young in the end, because of the shock, can't help but blurt out. After saying that, the smile at the corners of her mouth dissipated and became a little scared. After all, Anna was dressed in fancy clothes, and every piece of jewelry on her body as well as the satin clothing, and that kind of aura, were telling the young girl that the person in front of her was of extraordinary status.

And worst of all, she didn't know if this uncanny resemblance would upset the lady in front of her.

Anna guessed from the little girl's somewhat frightened face what she was thinking, so she smiled slightly and took the initiative to say, "I had thought that your store was very much to my liking because of the jewelry, but now it seems that maybe it's rather because there is an opportunity to look at people in the world who look quite similar to myself."

The girl looked up cautiously at these words, and was relieved to see that Anna still had a smile on her face. She smiled coyly.

"You are a very kind lady." She said so, and then introduced the trinkets to Anna in a more eager voice. It was as if because of Anna's little amiability, she suddenly took the latter from a rich guest to a friend.

While listening to the girl's introduction, Anna thought carefully in her mind: "If she had not become Anna, or in this era, if she had remained more fortunate, she might have been so simple and natural."

She was thinking, and then a somewhat presumptuous voice disturbed them.

"Good day, madam."

Anna looked up, standing not far from her was a medium-sized man, about thirty years old, very white skin, broad shoulders, wearing a pair of gentlemen's glasses, wearing a neat three-piece suit, not handsome, but the whole person looked extremely elegant.

Next to him also stood close to a girl about the size of five years old, with curly black hair and the same brown eyes, white skin, wearing a red cloak in the hand also holding a doll, quiet and very cute.

"What can I do for you? Sir." Anna looked up haughtily and asked.

The gentleman blushed slightly, as if the next words were a little difficult for him to say, but he organized himself and said, "I have a request."

Anna raised her eyebrows: "Please go on, sir."

"I really shouldn't have done that." The man said sincerely, the flush on his face had gone down and he had become extremely modest.

"But that brooch is very important to me, and it really fits a person perfectly, if you are willing to part with it."

"Brooch?" Anna was a little puzzled, then quickly understood, as Andre and Charlie were approaching at a brisk pace.

"That's the one." The man said softly, his eyes falling on top of the brooch in Andrei's hand.

It was indeed a very chic brooch. Although not decorated with colorful stones, but it is very small, and also looks very lively and vivid. People usually feel that this kind of decoration without color is very monotonous, but it is also unique enough.

"This is not mine, and I am not the one you should ask." Anna said with a smile.

Although Andre was not sure what was happening at first, but now by observing the conversation and actions between the adults, he also probably understood. Only, he held the brooch tightly and pursed his lips, he wasn't going to let it out.

Everyone could see Andrei's refusal, the man was going to say something, but now just a little embarrassed red face.

Anna smiled and said, "Obviously, if you have any compelling reason to want it, my nephew does likewise."

The man did not dwell on it, but apologized and left with his daughter with slight regret.

Only after they had gone did Andre whisper, "I thought ......"

"Thought what?" Anna asked, she was looking at some accessories for little girls, she hadn't forgotten her niece Lucia, the shy little girl.

"Thought you would ask me to let it out." Andrei said, his eyes not looking at Anna after he finished, but at Charlie, who was talking to the shopkeeper's daughter not far away. The raised side of his face was still a little flushed, apparently saying things that made him feel a little embarrassed.

"Let out?" Anna repeated, then stopped moving her hands.

She looked down at Andrei, then laughed, "How could you have such a strange idea. That belongs to you, how could I ask you that."

Andrei stole a glance at Anna, and blushed again when he saw that the other party had been staring at him and smiling. With a little twist, he said, "Aren't people always like that?"

"Asking someone to give something away for some unwarranted face or something, even if, even if it's obviously someone else's favorite too."

"Sometimes yes." Anna probably understood that maybe Andrei had been asked to do that.

As if encouraged, Andrei grumbled softly, "A compliment is so important? To even deprive me of something I like?"

Anna couldn't resist patting Andrei's shoulder, feeling like a puppy dog that had been kicked.

"I don't know what others think, but I hope I've been fairly respectful?"

Andrei looked up at Anna, then grunted a response.

After a moment, as Anna had already picked out a gift for Lucia, the boy next to her whispered, "You're not quite like the other adults."

Anna blinked, but Andrei had already run away.

When they were done shopping and leaving, Andre came up next to Anna and he hooked his finger, but his eyes were looking elsewhere.

Charlie looked away, then grinned and didn't say anything, just took Anna's other hand as well.

Anna looked around at the two boys, then smiled and led them back.
