Chapter 398 It hurts to be spotted
Chapter 398: Being seen out, heartbroken
"Yanran, what are you looking at?"
Su Jinxiu followed Li Yanran's gaze and saw people coming and going on the street.
Li Yanran came to her senses and waved her hands in panic.
"No, it's nothing.
I just watched, the streets are so lively today."
As she said that, she picked up her chopsticks and quickly picked up the vegetables.
"Sister Su, you eat too.
The chefs at your Ruyi Restaurant are really good at their craftsmanship.
Mmm, it’s delicious.”
Su Jinxiu watched Li Yanran being burned to the point of tears and quickly poured her a glass of water.
"Oh, my little ancestor, please slow down.
Don't be in a hurry. After dinner, come with me to sit in the backyard of the restaurant for a while.
After Shangwen and Shangwu finish their work, I will make cakes for you to eat."
Nowadays, Su Taohua is still dressed as a man in the capital.
Therefore, we can only bear Su Shangwu's name for the time being.
When Li Yanran heard this, she immediately put down her chopsticks and her eyes lit up.
"Can I?"
Su Jinxiu was amused by her appearance and couldn't help but laugh.
"What's wrong? You are of the same age, so we can play together, right?"
Li Yanran listened and started eating happily.
I'm in a good mood, and today's food tastes particularly delicious!
After eating, Su Jinxiu took Li Yanran back to the backyard.
Seeing that Su Taohua came back first, she asked Li Yanran to play with Taohua for a while.
"Shang Wu, you and Miss Li have a sip of tea.
I'll go to the kitchen and make some pastries."
Su Taohua nodded and led Li Yanran through the door.
He heated up the charcoal fire and motioned for Li Yanran to sit down.
"Miss Li, please sit down and have a cup of tea."
Li Yanran took the tea absentmindedly and looked outside.
Afraid of the cold wind blowing in, Su Taohua lowered the heavy curtain.
It also isolated Li Yanran's probing eyes.
"Won't your brother come?"
"Brother? Brother Shangwen or Brother Shangwu?"
When Su Taohua said this, she suddenly came back to her senses.
His expression changed and he patted his head.
"Oh, you mean Brother Shangwen!
He was still settling the accounts, and he came right after he had settled the accounts.
Miss Li has something to do with Brother Shang Wen? Let me help you call him..."
I almost let it slip just now, but fortunately this Miss Li is not a bad person.
These days, Miss Li often comes to Ruyi Restaurant.
She has also met several times and heard from Sister Jiaojiao that Miss Li has a good relationship with her eldest sister.
Probably, I won’t spread any random words.
She is also stupid, why didn't she turn around?
"Hey, hey, no need, I just asked casually."
Li Yanran didn't seem to hear anything and took Su Taohua's hand.
"You and Su Shangwen are both going to take the imperial examination this year? I have two sets of the Four Treasures of the Study here.
If you take it, consider it a gift to celebrate in advance."
She took out two sets of the Four Treasures of the Study and handed one set to Su Taohua.
It doesn't look cheap.
Su Taohua didn't dare to accept it and quickly waved her hand.
"No, no, the gift is too valuable. Please take it back, Ms. Li."
While the two were pulling and pushing, Li Yanran accidentally fell into Su Taohua's arms.
Before Su Taohua could push her away, the door curtain was lifted.
Su Shangwen was stunned when he saw the two people in the room.
"you……"
"Ah, Brother Shangwen, it's not what you think."
Su Taohua was startled and quickly pushed Li Yanran away.
His face turned red with shame, and he turned around and walked out.
"Miss Li is looking for you. I'm going to see if eldest sister needs any help..."
The door curtain was opened, and the cold wind rushing in made Li Yanran tremble.
She looked at Su Shangwen, bit her lip, and mustered up the courage to hand over what she wanted to give.
"Just now, I wanted to give her a gift.
She didn't want it, so...
Don’t you want to take the imperial examination? Just accept this!”
Su Shangwen looked at the Four Treasures of the Study and then at Li Yanran.
His brows wrinkled slightly, but he didn't reach out.
For some reason, the atmosphere in the room was a bit stuffy.
Li Yanran was a little at a loss and could only find random topics.
"That, Mr. Su.
I asked my grandfather about your grades.
Being among the top three in the imperial examination should be no problem.
What do you want to do then?"
She once tentatively mentioned the name Su Shangwen to her grandfather, and his grandfather also checked the files from last year.
It is said that Su Shangwen is a rare talent. If he performs as usual, he will definitely be in the top three.
"Grandpa said, if you are willing.
He will pave the way for you..."
With his grandfather's ability, he paved the way for Su Shangwen to rise in the court.
His official career will be very easy in the future.
"Miss Li……"
Su Shangwen's calm voice interrupted Li Yanran's urgency.
He pushed the Four Treasures of the Study away, took a piece of charcoal from the corner, and wrote and drew on the ground.
"I learned to write when I was young because my family was poor.
He didn't even have a decent pen, so he could only write with charcoal and stones.
Later, after my sister returned home, she worked hard to earn money to support my education.
Only then could I afford paper and pen, and write with pen and paper for the first time.
For me, as long as I can write.
Charcoal stones are no different from paper, pen, ink and inkstone.
But, for some people.
Charcoal rocks are charcoal rocks, and they are always inferior things.
It cannot be matched with the exquisite four treasures of the study. Put them together and stand out.
Those exquisite four treasures of the study should be stored in a neat study room.
It will be properly placed for a lifetime and will not be exposed to any wind and rain.
Charcoal and stone are meant to be burned by fire and tempered over and over again.
If you are lucky, you can bring some comfort to a poor family, which can be considered useful.
Many times, people or things in this world have to be talked about..."
Su Shangwen paused and wrote two big characters with the charcoal pen in his hand.
equal.
It is not equality if the door is not the same as the door is not the right place.
After Li Yanran saw the words on the ground clearly, her face suddenly turned pale.
"You know? So, you know..."
She also thought that during this period, she was acting very secretly.
I passed by by chance and saw Su Shangwen coming.
She even put the matter of entering the palace behind and came to this Ruyi Restaurant to eat every day.
It was more positive than saying hello to my grandfather, just to take a sneak peek at Su Shangwen when he was busy.
Occasionally, she can get a few words to talk, and she will be happy for half the night.
She liked Su Shangwen, she fell in love with him the first time she met him.
But she also knew that the two had different identities.
Especially after the emperor became interested in her, she did not dare to have any more delusions.
He was deeply afraid that due to his own reasons, Su Shangwen would not be able to become an official.
But, I like the person at first sight.
How can you hide that love?
She didn't know when Su Shangwen knew it, nor what kind of mentality Su Shangwen had.
Looking at her poor performances, he was indifferent.
What kind of thoughts do you have now to expose her without mercy?
Su Shangwen looked at Li Yanran shaking so hard that his fingers curled up uncontrollably.
He simply turned his back and closed his eyes slightly.
"Yes, I know everything.
Please also ask Miss Li not to do useless work. You and I are not a good match.
If it is not necessary, I will not meet with Ms. Li again in the future.
If Miss Li has nothing else to do, please come back first!"
Such a cold rejection made Li Yanran unable to hold back the tears in her eyes any longer.
Tears welled up in her eyes, and she covered her face with the handkerchief.
"Master Su looks gentle, but he is actually very hard-hearted."
