"Brother, can you show me the gemstone and jade ring Miss Shen San gave you?"
In ancient times, women gave gifts to men, including sachets and jade pendants, concentric knots and necklaces, and even handkerchiefs, but I have never heard of giving rings.
But she seemed to have forgotten that she was the one who gave her the ring.
Su Jing nodded, and then took out the ring from her underwear.
He really made Su Wan cry to death, how much he liked it, and he kept it close to his chest?
The ring was handed to Su Wan's hand. She looked at it carefully. The water quality was very good and not adulterated. The style was men's and it was exquisitely made. It should cost a lot of money.
"Brother, it seems that Miss Shen San is very interested in you. This jade ring is of very good quality!" Su Yi said with a smile.
Su Jing smiled sheepishly. He didn't dare to ask for it at first because it was too expensive, but Shen Qingli put it in his hand, turned around and ran away.
At that time, he was still thinking that this would be good, as he could look at things and think about people, and it would also be considered as a thought.
Su Wan held the ring and pondered it over and over again, looking carefully inside and out, hoping to see the flowers.
She wondered if she could find some mystery or something in it.
"Wan Wan, what are you looking for? Is there any mystery behind this ring?" Su Yi noticed something was wrong with her and asked.
Su Wan didn't answer, because she did find something different. She found that the base inlaid with jadeite gems could actually be unscrewed.
She looked at Su Jing and Su Yi in surprise, and then started to twist in the direction. After a while, the jadeite gemstone and its base were separated from the ring.
There is indeed a secret hidden inside. There is a small note stuck inside the base, neatly folded.
Su Wan took it out and was about to open it to take a look, but Su Jing snatched it away.
His heart was pounding at the moment, and he felt like he was breathing a little faster.
Because it was given to him by Miss Shen San, he cherished it very much on weekdays. He only took it out and watched it quietly without looking for any mystery.
Now Su Wan easily figured out the mystery as soon as he arrived, which surprised and delighted him.
"Brother, open it quickly and see what's written inside." Su Wan couldn't wait to know the content.
Su Jing placed the gemstone ring and ring on the table, and then unfolded the note.
The note was very small, with a single line written inside. Su Wan and Su Yi couldn't see it. They saw Su Jing glance at it, her face quickly turned red, her brows were filled with smiles, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise.
He held the note in his hand, but Su Wan was very anxious.
"Brother, what on earth is written? Tell me quickly!"
Su Jing said that he was quite embarrassed, so he handed the note to Su Wan.
The note was a little wrinkled as he held it in his hand, but he could still read the words clearly.
Su Yi stretched his head over and the brother and sister looked at it together.
The sight of a beautiful hand with small regular script with hairpins made Su Wan feel ashamed. It could be seen from each stroke that the person who wrote this must be a talented woman.
It says:
I wish to win the heart of one person and never leave each other.
What does this mean? Isn't it obvious? Miss Shen San is showing her love to Su Jing.
However, Su Jing has never expressed love to her, and she doesn't know what the other person is thinking, but she is a woman and is too proactive and straightforward. If she is rejected, her reputation will be ruined and she will die of shame and anger.
On the one hand, she didn't want to know the result. If she was really rejected, how embarrassed would she be? Might as well lie to yourself.
Therefore, Miss Shen San came up with such a ring that hid a mystery. If this love cannot be revealed in the end, it means that they are not destined. But if this love will eventually see the light of day, how will he respond?
"Brother, you don't have unrequited love. Miss Shen San also likes you." Su Wan was so happy that she got a crush on her tonight.
Su Jing just smiled, holding the fabric on his knees with both hands, showing his excitement and nervousness at the moment.
"But, a year has passed now, and Prince Xiang may have already..." Su Jing did not dare to think any further.
They are relatives of the emperor, so if the emperor decides to marry, then it is a sure thing.
Su Wan knew that his eldest brother was worried, but it didn't matter. It was written in the original book that Prince Xiang's concubine was the legitimate daughter of the Minister of Rites, not Miss Shen of the Grand Scholar's House.
"No, brother, Miss Shen San will be waiting for you. When I go to Kyoto to do business, I will find a way to meet with Miss Shen San and express your feelings to her. When the Xuanhe Dam is completed, from now on It is the work of a thousand years. Didn’t the Holy One also promise to grant you a high official position?
At that time, you were also a new member of the imperial court, young and promising. When the time came, you would ask your parents to come to propose marriage for you. Wouldn't this be done?
As for what you said, fear of delaying Miss Shen San, that does not exist at all. It will only create a good story. For example, Miss Shen San and Su Zhuangyuan were in love, but they were separated. Miss Shen San insisted on waiting for her sweetheart. Instead of marrying someone else, I had to wait for several years, but the number one scholar lived up to expectations and built the Xuanhe Dam, benefiting all people. The first thing he did after returning to Beijing to be awarded the title was to ask the bachelor to marry the third lady. The two finally became a good couple. Conclusion, what a romantic story this is? It can be written into the storybook. "
Su Wan had a small mouth, her voice was full of emotion, and she used her hands and feet at the same time. She was no different from those storytellers.
Su Jing was comforted and acquiesced to Su Wan's statement.
He especially wanted to respond to Miss Shen San at this time, but it would be too abrupt to write a letter now. The only way was to meet Shen Qingli and convey it in person, as Su Wan said, which would make him more aware of the matter. of attention.
It is true that he is not worthy now, but once the Xuanhe Dam is completed, it will not be certain later. The Holy Emperor will at least make him a third-rank imperial official.
"Then Brother Wanwan will have to worry about a good marriage in the future."
"Brother, you're welcome. This is what Wan Wan should do. You just have to make great achievements in Xuanhe. I will help you pursue my sister-in-law."
Su Wan solemnly picked up the tea cup and drank it all in one gulp, leaving behind the military order issued on the spot.
Su Jing and Su Yi were amused by her appearance, and melodious laughter could be heard from time to time in the small courtyard, enjoying themselves happily.
The three brothers and sisters chatted until very late before going back to their rooms to settle down. Early the next morning, Su Jing took Su Wan and Su Yi to the yard on the dam as she said last night.
There are five or six empty rooms in his courtyard, which is enough for a group of people to live in. The guards are a little crowded and it makes them miserable for two days.
Before going there, she had to do some shopping in the county. In the next few days, she would have to cook by herself. Su Jing didn't want her sister to come all the way and not be able to eat well or sleep well.
In the morning, Ma Yuying wanted to come with them, but Su Jing refused because there were not enough rooms.
Ma Yuying had no choice but to give up and watched them leave with an aggrieved look on her face without looking back.
