Chapter 186: The White Lotus Cousin in Ancient Chinese Literature (15)
After returning to the palace, the eldest prince couldn't wait to ask someone to bring a pair of scissors, but when it came time to cut his hair, he couldn't bear to do it.
He pointed the knife at his purse, but was hesitant and unwilling to take action.
Seeing this, the attendant asked, "Your Highness, what's wrong?"
The eldest prince hesitated: "I am reluctant to cut the purse embroidered by the beauty herself."
The attendant silently shifted his gaze to the box in the corner of the room, thinking to himself, "Your Highness, you have received so many purses, all of them were gifts from beauties, and they have all been gathered in the box, gathering dust. Why are you reluctant to throw away this one?"
He asked tentatively: "How about...Your Highness, let me help you?"
What greeted him was a merciless kick: "Go away, get out!"
The eldest prince fiddled with the scissors for a long time before finally gritting his teeth and making a click. A hole the size of a soybean was cut from the inside, so it was not visible from the outside at all.
The eldest prince struggled to squeeze the thing out of the small hole, and it rolled into the palm of his hand. When he took a closer look, he found that it was indeed a red bean.
Red beans, acacia, red beans, acacia...
The eldest prince chuckled, thinking that this beauty was worthy of his choice; even the way she expressed her feelings was so unique.
The eldest prince, in a good mood, held the red beans in his palm, as if he could see the shy smile of the woman under the candlelight, her cheeks slightly red, and she carefully embroidered the red beans she had carefully selected into her purse.
The eldest prince was immediately excited and couldn't wait to bring Su Yu into his backyard.
Thinking of the purse, he quickly called back the attendant who had kicked him away and said, "Go, find an embroiderer with better skills and ask her to sew this purse for me. Make sure it is exactly the same as before it was cut. If there is any mistake, you don't have to come back and can go directly to the farm to pick up manure."
The attendant's expression changed, and he assured her repeatedly: "Yes, Your Highness, rest assured, I will definitely get it done."
As he walked out holding the purse, his follower's face wrinkled.
What kind of thing is this? I haven't even received the reward money yet, but I have to go to the farm to pick up manure.
My beauty, His Highness likes you, but you have caused me so much trouble.
…
On the other side, after a private room in Zhenwei Pavilion welcomed three waves of guests, it finally completed its mission.
At the entrance of the restaurant, Lin Jinse's heart and eyes were filled with Cui Ling. She was reluctant to leave and ignored Cui Yue no matter how he called her.
Cui Yue couldn't help but roll her eyes: "Sister Lin, didn't we agree to buy some hairpins and jewelry?"
Why can't you walk when you see your brother?
Forget friends when you see beauty.
Lin Jinse suddenly realized: "Ah? Ah, yes, I still need to buy some jewelry."
She stared at Cui Ling, unwilling to look away: "Brother Hanzhang, Yue'er and I will go first."
Cui Ling nodded and said "hmm".
Cui Ling himself couldn't figure it out. Although they had known each other since childhood, Lin Jinse came to the Cui Mansion more to play with Cui Yue. At that time, he had already entered the clan school, and they had hardly met each other.
Why does the girl from the Lin family look like she is deeply in love with him?
Lord Cui, who is praised for his youth and potential in the court, rarely has things he cannot understand.
Lin Jinse hesitated, and suddenly looked at Su Yu: "Miss Su, do you want to buy any jewelry? Why don't we go pick some together?"
Su Yu, who was standing nearby with her head down and pretending to be dead, was suddenly called out. She was stunned for a moment, then shook her head timidly: "Miss Lin and my cousin can go, I don't want to buy anything."
It's not just that she didn't want to buy anything, but more importantly, she couldn't afford it. She had to save the money for her dowry. She had no parents, so she had to think about herself. Although the money was not much, it was better than nothing.
Lin Jinse's smile was a little forced.
"Is that so? That's fine then."
At the last moment when she was pulled away by Cui Yue, she was still looking at Cui Ling.
Cui Yue was speechless: "What's so good about it? When you marry into our family, you can watch it every day, every day, every night, until you get tired of it."
Lin Jinse's thoughts were finally pulled back, and a hint of embarrassment appeared on her beautiful face: "Yuer."
After watching the two men walk away, Su Yu also said goodbye.
She and Cui Ling were not on the same trip, so naturally they were riding in different carriages.
The invisible man Bai Shan quietly observed Cui Ling's expression, trying to see a trace of reluctance on his face, just like how Miss Lin looked at him.
It's a pity that Cui Ling is too calm. He has been like this since he was a child. He never shows his emotions on his face and you can't tell anything from him.
Bai Shan sighed and looked away in disappointment.
"Why are you sighing?" Cui Ling suddenly asked him.
Bai Shan was startled. The young master was always like this during this period. He would either suddenly appear and scare him, or suddenly speak after being silent for a long time and scare him.
Bai Shan replied cautiously: "Sir, don't you think you are a little special to your cousin?"
"special?"
Bai Shan nodded heavily: "You never wore a purse before, but you wore it when your cousin gave it to you. You also carefully helped your cousin order dishes in order to make peace between your cousin and the eldest prince. When you were with your cousin, you talked more and laughed more than usual, but not with others."
Cui Ling recalled carefully, is this true?
Cui Ling had never paid attention to these things before. When Bai Shan brought them up, he suddenly realized that they seemed a little special.
The carriage swayed and suddenly stopped abruptly.
Su Yu was almost thrown out: "What's going on?"
The driver got off the carriage to check it out, and came back with a bitter face: "Cousin, our carriage seems to be broken down."
"The carriage broke down?"
Su Yu went down to take a look and saw that it was true. One of the wheels was severely crooked, as if the joint inside was cracked.
"What can I do?"
After parking the carriage on the side of the road, Su Yu frowned and looked at the crooked wheel, unable to think of a solution for a moment.
This place is quite some distance away from Cui Mansion, and it is not realistic to walk back, so we can only ask the servants to run back to report the news and ask the mansion to send another carriage.
Su Yu was pondering whether to do this or not. While she was lost in thought, another carriage slowly stopped beside her. The driver was Bai Shan, who was smiling brightly with his big white teeth.
Zi Tong was surprised: "Miss, it's the eldest master!"
In the end, Su Yu got into Cui Ling's carriage.
Cui Ling's carriage was much bigger than hers. The owner did not like strong, choking incense, so the smell in the carriage was fresh, with only some very light and elegant scents of pine and bamboo, which made people feel relaxed and happy.
There are seats covered with precious animal skins on three sides, and a wide low table in the middle, which is more than enough to place a chessboard and some tea sets.
Su Yu was at a loss: "Cousin."
Cui Ling was still immersed in the conclusion that he had some special feelings for Su Yu. When he saw her come in, he looked over unconsciously and frowned.
Is it really special?
Why had he never felt it before?
Cui Ling quickly gathered his thoughts and poured Su Yu a cup of tea. "Sit down. The broken carriage will be fixed by someone from the mansion. Don't worry. I have to go back to the mansion too, so I'll give you a ride."
"Thank you, cousin."
Su Yu sat down slowly. The animal skin under her was plush and soft, not prickly at all, as if it had been specially treated.
Su Yu couldn't help but touch it a few more times. Damn rich man, poor little animal, why wasn't there one in her carriage?
