Chapter 521 Regret
The lack of shock today was definitely not due to him, but because I didn’t drink enough!
Su Yujin, "..."
Second Master is Second Master!
My brain circuit is different from ordinary people! ...
It is easy to feel thirsty after drinking, and Su Yujin was no exception at this time.
But after drinking several cups of hot tea in succession, and because the charcoal stove in the carriage was burning very vigorously, Su Yujin felt that the carriage was unusually hot and stuffy, so she lifted the curtains to ventilate and dissipate the heat.
Because Su Yujin fell asleep, and He Yanxiu felt that he could not get out of the carriage in his disheveled state, he had to order the coachman to drive the carriage in circles along the smooth and wide roads in the capital.
At this time, what Su Yujin saw through the car window was the street scenery in the opposite direction of the Su family's residence and the He family's residence.
There is a shop here opened by Su Yujin that sells soap, shampoo and other toiletries. It is crowded with people and business is obviously booming.
Among those people, Su Yujin saw Su Yunruo and Xiang Qiao.
Two people flashed past Su Yujin's sight and soon entered the shop under the guidance of the clerk.
If Ruoruo were here now, she would probably buy some toiletries for their convenience when she got to the horse farm.
After all, it is in the northwest, the air is relatively dry, and the wind is stronger. There is no girl who doesn't love beauty. Even if she has a very strong cleavage, she will pay great attention to these things.
Su Yujin didn't take it to heart and just let down the curtain.
"What did you see that makes you so happy?" Looking at the faint smile on Su Yujin's face, He Yanxiu couldn't help but reach out and pinch the tip of her nose.
"Just now I saw someone selling pea cakes outside, so I thought of making some." Su Yujin squinted her eyes, "I thought it was very interesting that you, a greedy cat, suddenly had a good meal."
He is such a greedy cat? He Yanxiu couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth.
He is indeed greedy now, and he is craving for all the delicious food.
He Yanxiu licked his lips subconsciously and whispered in Su Yujin's ear, "Since Madam said that I am a greedy cat, shouldn't I do something more worthy of the name?"
Su Yujin, "..."
Some people really cannot be provoked at all nowadays!
Here, Su Yunruo and Xiang Qiao were selecting items in the shop.
The shop owner and the clerks all recognized her, and they took her to a private room to sit for a while, and brought out various new products for Su Yunruo to choose from.
Soap for washing hands, hand cream for protecting hands, facial cleanser for washing face, moisturizing rain dew cream, strong and fragrant shampoo for washing hair...
Su Yunruo had a bit of everything.
After choosing her own, Su Yunruo asked, "Are there any suitable ones for men?"
"Yes." The waiter smiled and took out a few items for Su Yunruo to see. "This shampoo has a faint scent of pine needles. It's not easy to detect. After washing your hair, your hair will be soft and not easy to get oily. It's suitable for men."
"It is also the best-selling model in the store and is loved by many men in the capital. If Miss takes it back to give to Lord Bo and Lord Su, it will be very suitable."
Su Yunruo has a father and an elder brother, so in the eyes of the waiter, they are the only two people who can let her choose things carefully.
Su Yunruo didn't explain too much, just smiled and said, "Then take this."
"Yes." The waiter agreed and packed two packages of the shampoo that Su Yunruo liked.
Su Yunruo was slightly stunned when she saw this, but she didn't say anything else. She just told Xiangqiao and the waiter to load all the things onto the carriage.
"Miss Ruo, take care." The waiter saw her off respectfully.
"Thank you." Su Yunruo bowed slightly and prepared to get on the carriage with the help of Xiangqiao.
"Miss Su, please stay."
Su Yunruo, who hadn't even raised her feet yet, stopped moving when she heard the urgent voice. She turned around and saw Cai Xianxin, who was in a hurry, almost jogging towards her. She was stunned for a moment, "Master Cai?"
"Ms. Su." Cai Xianxin came to Su Yunruo and tried to calm his breath before grinning, "What a coincidence, I met Miss Su here."
"Mr. Cai, is there anything I can do for you?" Su Yunruo bowed and asked politely but distantly.
"Today is the day when the results are announced. I just went to see the names on the list." Cai Xianxin said with a smile, "I ranked 17th this year. The palace examination will be held soon. I will probably be able to get second place in the palace examination."
Because of the rebellion of King Yue and Qin Peiyuan last year, the court was clearing out the remnants and investigating and punishing many people who formed cliques for personal gain and engaged in corruption and bribery, which resulted in many positions becoming vacant.
In order to select more talents to fill vacancies in various places, at the end of last year, the emperor issued an edict to add an additional special examination in the spring of this year, which led to the temporary addition of the spring examination this year.
Cai Xianxin, who originally had to wait another two years, got a chance to showcase his talents this year. He believes he seized the opportunity and achieved a better result than expected.
"Congratulations, Mr. Cai." Su Yunruo still congratulated him politely with a light tone.
Cai Xianxin also noticed Su Yunruo's alienation, and the smile on his face faded a little, and he looked a little more embarrassed. "Miss Su, I am a straightforward person, so I just said some things directly. I hope Miss Su will not blame me."
"Earlier, both the Su family and the Cai family were interested in our marriage, and I fell in love with Miss Su at first sight, but the Su family later declined the idea and told others about the words of the high monk of Yunling Temple, saying that Miss Su should not get married too early."
"But I like Miss Su very much. I also know that the Su family declined before. They probably felt that although I was studying in the Imperial College, my future was uncertain and they were worried. Now I have passed the imperial examination and will be able to get an official position after the palace examination. I wonder if the Su family can give me another chance next time?"
"As for the monk's comment that Miss Su should not get married early, I am not someone who is impatient. No matter how many years it takes, I am willing to wait."
Cai Xianxin bowed deeply to Su Yunruo and said, "I came here today just to express my feelings to Miss Su. I hope Miss Su can understand."
Seeing this, Su Yunruo pursed her lips for a long time before she spoke, "I understand what Master Cai is thinking, but since Master Cai is so direct, I won't beat around the bush."
"The Cai family has a clean and upright family tradition, and Master Cai is also a gentleman. We should not let our friendship go to waste. However, as for marriage, I think it is better for both parties to be happy with each other."
The implication is that he is a good person, but she doesn't like him.
Nothing to do with anything else.
It's not because he has no achievements, and it has nothing to do with the so-called lack of thoroughness in expressing his feelings.
It's just that I simply don't like it.
Marriage is a major event that affects the rest of your life and you cannot compromise on it. If you are facing someone you don’t like, you will probably be unhappy for the rest of your life.
A lifelong regret.
