Chapter 358 Not Good Enough
"Sir, every experience in life is a beautiful memory. Some people will accompany you for a while, and some people will accompany you for a lifetime. Mingshu is the one who can only accompany you for a while. You will have more and better memories in the future."
Zhou Mingshu recalled the time when they were learning horse riding. They often chased each other around the horse farm and it was really fun to ride in the sunset.
If I have to say I'm reluctant, then there is definitely some reluctance.
Which little yellow girl wants to push this tall and handsome young general out? !
But Qi Rui said it so seriously, she had to deal with it seriously too.
If you don't want to get married, you can't keep someone hanging. You have to make it clear.
Qi Rui couldn't hold it anymore when he heard this. He really couldn't accept this answer.
He tightened and clenched the whip in his hand, and finally he couldn't bear it anymore and rode away on the horse.
Zhou Mingshu watched him run away without stopping him. Boys of this age would get a little angry if their confession was rejected.
Rufeng, who was hiding in the dark, saw his master running away, so he came out and tried to follow him.
"Lord Rufeng, why are you here?"
"Miss Zhou, I'm here to look for my master."
"Oh, he just left. He must have gone back to the camp."
"I saw it, I'll chase after it."
Rufeng was about to leave when he was stopped by Zhou Mingshu.
"Master Rufeng, please don't leave yet. You left too early yesterday and didn't take the wedding basket. Wait for me, I'll go get it."
"Wedding basket?"
Rufeng didn't know what it was, maybe it was the custom of holding weddings here.
If Miss Zhou wants to give it to him, then he can just keep it. It must be something delicious.
Zhou Mingshu hurried back home and took out the wedding basket prepared for Qi Rui.
Inside was some wine and wedding candy, the same as those wedding baskets for adults.
The difference is that Lord Qi’s wedding basket contained double the amount of wedding candy.
Rufeng carried the wedding basket, mounted his horse and rode away.
A cloud of dust rose from the ground and drifted away in the wind like smoke.
Just now, Lord Qi ran away in the same way.
She withdrew her hand in farewell and turned back home.
Alas, it would be a lie to say I wasn't sad.
Qi Rui is her lifesaver, and others say that a lifesaver should be repaid with one's own life.
If he were an ordinary person, she might consider marrying him.
After all, he is so good, which girl would not be attracted to him?
But he is of noble status, and if she marries him, outsiders might say that she is trying to marry into a wealthy family.
She herself couldn't get over that hurdle.
Besides, she doesn't have a strong support from her parents, and after a few years of hardship after marriage, her cinnabar mole will turn into mosquito blood.
There is no word for divorce in this era. If you marry the wrong person, you will be in trouble for the rest of your life.
She couldn't afford to gamble, and she didn't dare to gamble.
But now that this matter has been brought to light, we must avoid suspicion in the future.
All the tacit understanding and habits developed in the past must now be changed.
Zhou Mingshu sighed, his good mood early in the morning was ruined.
Qi Rui didn't understand why he was rejected.
Is he not good enough?
At the age of nineteen he was appointed General of the Central Army, fourth rank, and foreigners were terrified when they heard his name.
With his ability, he will be able to protect her for the rest of her life.
Isn't he handsome enough?
My father is the general of Daliang, and my mother is the younger sister of the current emperor and the most beautiful woman in Daliang.
Although I can't be called the best, I am still one of the best.
Is he not interesting enough?
He often joked with her, often making her laugh.
Looking back on the past interactions between the two of them, I didn't find any signs of rejection from her.
Which link is the problem?
Qi Rui had a headache.
But I couldn’t care less about the headache because my heart was also broken.
The first time in his life that he was attracted to a woman and the first time he mustered up the courage to confess his love to her, he was rejected on the spot.
The more confident you were before, the more defeated you are now.
Qi Rui did not return to the military camp, but stopped his horse in front of a lake.
Using the water surface, Qi Rui rubbed the tense muscles on his face.
I wanted to laugh but I couldn't at all.
No, he didn’t like to laugh before.
It was Zhou Mingshu. After meeting her, he became more cheerful.
He said he wouldn't think about these things, but his mind started to think about them uncontrollably.
Qi Rui picked up a handful of gravel and skipped them on the water one by one to relieve his unhappiness.
Rufeng breathed a sigh of relief when he saw his master was just in front of him.
But he finally caught up with me.
"Master, Master, what do you think this is?"
Rufeng grinned and walked up to Qi Rui carrying a basket.
"what is this?"
Qi Rui didn't know where Rufeng got the basket from, and glanced at it with his eyes sideways.
Seeing that his master was not interested, Rufeng raised the basket and pushed it forward.
"This is from Miss Zhou. It contains your favorite wedding candy. Master, you went out early in the morning without eating anything. Eat some wedding candy to suppress your hunger."
Rufeng opened a paper package and took out a piece of rice candy.
The sweet fragrance immediately spread in the air.
Qi Rui, however, did not have the same interest as before and turned his face away.
"Master, don't you want to eat it? Didn't you say before that this rice candy is delicious?"
Rufeng didn't know that Qi Rui was feeling depressed. The more he sold things to him, the more upset Qi Rui felt.
He raised his arm and threw the rice candy into the lake.
The two of them watched the rice candy float away and was finally eaten up by the fish in the lake.
When Rufeng saw the rice candy in his hand being swept away, he quietly put the things away.
Why is the master unhappy? Wasn't he chatting with Miss Zhou just now?
Rufeng grew up with Qi Rui, so he knew what his master was thinking.
If you don’t want to eat, don’t eat. If you are hungry, you will eat obediently.
He hung the wedding basket on the saddle to prevent ants from crawling on it.
Then he took the two horses to a distant place to walk and graze, leaving the master alone to have some quiet time.
Qi Rui stared at the rice candy on the lake, not knowing what he was thinking.
His eyes were fixed on the ripples on the lake, looking back and forth in circles.
He didn't look away until the last bit of rice candy was soaked by the lake water and sank.
Qi Rui pinched the corners of his eyes, feeling bitter in his heart.
But he was no longer so excited at this moment.
He was a little too impulsive just now and shouldn't have whipped the horse and ran away.
I shouldn't have knocked over the rice candy that Rufeng handed over.
That was made by Mingshu bit by bit, and every dish she made contained her hard work.
He should not destroy things just for the sake of momentary pleasure.
Looking up at Rufeng who was feeding the horse nearby, he suddenly realized that he was indeed not doing well enough in some aspects.
"Rufeng, let's go back."
Qi Rui stood up, the glacial look on his face no longer visible.
When Rufeng heard the shouting, he quickly led the horse over.
"Master, won't you sit down for a while?"
"No need to sit down, let's go back."
The two men rode back on horseback, one in front and one behind, leaving a lot of hoof marks on the road.
After Qi Rui had his meal, he stayed obediently in the tent.
He now didn't have the energy to do anything else and just flipped through the "Journey to the West" in his hand over and over again.
