Chapter 465: Abruptness
Seeing that Cai Xianxin was very hesitant, Su Yujin said, "Mr. Cai, please speak."
"I'm bothering Princess Ping'an today because of Miss Su's matter." Cai Xianxin saw that Su Yujin spoke quite straightforwardly. After hesitating for a moment, he opened his mouth and said, "After I first met Miss Su at the banquet, I fell in love with her at first sight and liked her very much."
"After hearing that my mother was very satisfied with Miss Su and that Mrs. Su also quite agreed with this matter, I was also very happy. So on the afternoon of the banquet day, I went to listen to a play with Miss Su..."
"After two contacts, I have already regarded Miss Su as my future wife. I also want to have more contact with Miss Su before my parents decide on the engagement so that we can understand each other's personalities and avoid a lack of affection after marriage."
"But since that opera, I have made several attempts to meet Miss Su, but she declined all of them with various reasons. She has not had much contact with me."
"Although some women are naturally reserved and don't like to show up too much before getting engaged, I am very nervous. I just want to know what Miss Su thinks, or if I did something wrong that caused Miss Su to misunderstand me."
Cai Xianxin bowed again, "I should have gone to Miss Su to ask her about this matter, but now I can't see Miss Su. I thought that Princess Ping'an is Miss Su's cousin and they are of similar age. I think she probably knows what Miss Su is thinking, so I dare to ask her a few questions."
"If I have offended you in any way, I hope that Lord Ping'an will forgive me."
After saying this, Cai Xianxin bowed again.
Su Yujin frowned when he heard this.
Cai Xianxin said that he hadn't seen Ruoruo for some time.
But every time Ruoruo went out during this period, it was always because of an appointment with Cai Xianxin.
There seems to be quite a bit of problem here.
Cai Xianxin came to see Ruoruo because he couldn't see her...
Su Yujin looked at Cai Xianxin and said, "Since Master Cai has asked about this matter, I will have to say a few more words."
"It is common for men to get married when they are old enough and women to get married when they are old enough. In order to prevent their children from marrying blindly, many families prefer to look at each other before the six rituals, secretly compare the engagement cards, etc., in order to ensure that their children's marriages are successful."
"Although these things are customs, they are not mandatory, nor are they any of the six rites of marriage. It is normal for my Ruoruo to decline Master Cai's invitation. After all, even if both parties are interested, without three matchmakers and six engagements, this matter cannot be counted. To put it bluntly, if this marriage cannot be completed, and Ruoruo is still very enthusiastic about Master Cai, I am afraid that she will be laughed at by others and said that she is not dignified enough as a woman."
"So from my point of view, there is nothing wrong with Ruoru's action. On the contrary, it is Master Cai who has some crazy thoughts and his words and actions are a bit frivolous."
After hearing Su Yujin's words, Cai Xianxin's face turned red.
That's true. It was indeed a bit rude of him to meet up with her alone so many times before we got engaged.
Is it because he likes this marriage so much that he is a little anxious?
Cai Xianxin bowed with a guilty look on his face, "I am sorry for being rude."
"I will just assume that Mr. Cai didn't come to my house today and won't mention this matter to outsiders." Su Yujin said.
"Thank you, Lord Ping'an." Cai Xianxin said, "I am sorry for the intrusion today. Lord Ping'an has a lot of things to do, so I will not bother you any more. I will take my leave now."
"Mr. Cai, take care." Su Yujin raised her hand and told his men to escort Cai Xianxin out.
Accompanying Su Yujin back to the room, Ai Cao muttered a few words, "This Mr. Cai looks gentle and refined, but I never thought he would be so rash in doing things."
"Miss, do you want to mention this to your wife?"
People who act rashly like this will definitely have some shortcomings in their future work.
If Miss Ruo marries him, I'm afraid it won't be as beautiful as she imagines.
"Let me think about it." Su Yujin lowered her head in thought, "I wonder what Ruoruo is up to. Tell your subordinates to let Ruoruo come to me first if she comes back."
She also asked Ruoruo what her plan was.
"Yes." Ai Cao agreed.
After Cai Xianxin left, he went all the way to the Imperial College.
On the way, he was still thinking about what Princess Ping'an had just said.
I have to take etiquette into consideration and not have too much private contact with Miss Su. Then this marriage...
I can only urge my father and mother to find an official matchmaker as soon as possible and come to the Su family to propose marriage!
Cai Xianxin thought about this matter and was also considering how to tell his parents when he returned.
The sun soon set and Su Yunruo returned in a carriage.
After learning what Su Yujin had told her subordinates, Su Yunruo did not go back to change clothes, but went straight to find Su Yujin, "Sister Jin, are you looking for me?"
"Did you have fun at the poetry reading this afternoon?" Su Yujin asked with a raised eyebrow.
"It's not bad, there are quite a lot of people." Su Yunruo smiled, "Maybe it's because every inch of land in Beijing is valuable. The teahouse isn't that big to begin with, but there are too many people, so it seems a bit messy and noisy."
"Yes." Su Yujin nodded. "But this also shows that the capital is a treasure land with many knowledgeable and talented people. Hey, since you have been there for so long, have you heard any wonderful poems or articles? Why don't you tell me about them?"
"This..." Su Yunruo was speechless for a moment, his mind racing. After a moment, he said, "I was just watching the fun at the time, so I didn't hear it very clearly. If I think about it carefully, it seems..."
"seem……"
Seeing Su Yunruo's expression, Su Yujin handed her a cup of herbal tea and said, "This afternoon, just as you left the house, Master Cai came to visit you."
"Sister Jin..." Su Yunruo felt a little embarrassed and clenched the cup in her hand.
"Since you call me sister, why are you still being so reserved with me?" Su Yujin said, "If you really have something to hide that you don't want to tell your aunt, I can give you some advice."
After hesitating for a moment and drinking half of the herbal tea in the cup, Su Yunruo finally spoke, "Sister Jin, actually..."
She doesn't like Cai Xianxin.
To be precise, it's not disgust, but it's not the kind of love between men and women either.
But she was not young anymore, and it was time for her to get married. Mrs. Lu was quite worried about this and took great pains to help arrange it.
Mrs. Lu felt that Cai Xianxin was a perfect match for her in terms of character, appearance, talent and even family background, and seemed very optimistic about this matter.
Su Yunruo didn't want to disappoint her mother, nor did she want her mother to continue to worry about her marriage.
She was trying to convince herself to accept Cai Xianxin.
I even feel that if I get older and have to get married immediately, if I choose someone at random, he or she might not be as good as Cai Xianxin.
Let's take a step back and say that although she didn't like Cai Xianxin, she didn't hate him either. Maybe...
