The eldest brother's rejection was written all over his face. It was obvious that he didn't want to have anything to do with Miss Yuying at all.
Su Wan naturally followed his wishes and changed seats with him.
His move also made the county magistrate and the magistrate's wife look embarrassed. Ma Yuying was also a little uncomfortable, holding the cup tightly in her hand.
After the meal, the atmosphere was a little subtle. Su Wan also temporarily decided not to stay at the county magistrate's house. After tonight, he would move to the county inn. The eldest brother didn't want to get involved with others, so he naturally had to draw a clear line.
But before Su Wan could speak, after the meal, Su Jing took the initiative to tell the county magistrate:
"Master Ma, the three of us, brother and sister, will spend the night in your mansion tonight. I will take them to stay on the dam early tomorrow morning. There are still vacancies there, so I won't bother you two here."
"Master Su, this can't be done. Miss Su and Mr. Su are rich people. The conditions on the dam are difficult and dangerous. You don't have to be afraid of troublesome us. Everything is about the comfort of Miss Su and Mr. Su!"
When the county magistrate heard this, he hurriedly asked to stay.
"Yes, Mr. Su, there is yellow sand and mud everywhere on the dam, and the wind is strong. I'm afraid Miss Su won't be used to it, so she might as well stay here with us!" the county magistrate's wife agreed.
"Now the flood season on the dam has passed. As long as you don't go up the dam, there will be no danger. Moreover, my small yard is usually kept clean and tidy. My sister-in-law and brother-in-law don't like to trouble others and will feel uncomfortable. There is no need for you two to stay."
Su Jing was determined not to live here, but the county magistrate and his wife always tried to persuade her to stay, which would be pointless.
As a result, the two of them stopped talking, but Miss Ma Yuying looked at Su Jing pitifully with tears in her eyes:
"Mr. Su, what did we do wrong that made you or Miss Su and Mr. Su unhappy? Just tell us and we can just change it. Why do we have to leave? It took a lot of effort to come back."
After all, what does it mean to come back after a long time?
It's as if the eldest brother is her husband.
"Miss Yuying, what you said is serious. We just don't want to trouble you. How can we say whether it is good or bad?
Moreover, we also wanted to visit the place where our eldest brother usually works. We would stay there for two days and then leave. "
Su Wan saw that it was unclear, so he just said it straight away.
The county magistrate is an eighth-rank official, and the eldest brother is at least a fifth-rank official. It's like a family. She feels that sometimes the eldest brother's official airs should be maintained, otherwise he will give people the impression that he is not easy to talk to. not good.
As a girl, it is better to be more reserved. This was in ancient times. It was too unfair and the price dropped.
To put it bluntly, no matter what dynasty you are in, girls cannot be cheating.
The county magistrate and his wife knew that they could not keep her, so they decided not to keep her. They also wanted their daughter to win the favor of Mr. Su. After the Xuanhe Dam was completed, they could also go to Kyoto to enjoy the blessings and support them by the way.
But now it seems that Mr. Su's attitude is very obvious. He doesn't care about their daughter at all and just wants to draw a clear line.
Their silly daughter is still dreaming of unrealistic dreams. Look at how well-raised Ms. Su is. Every move and every smile is what a wealthy family should have. She is grand and dignified. They are completely better than her. No.
"Master Su..."
"Okay Yuying, Mr. Su is finally reunited with his family, let's leave a place for him to chat with Miss Su and Mr. Su.
Mr. Su, you have worked hard on the dam to supervise the work. Please rest early tonight and we will not disturb you. "
Fortunately, the county magistrate's wife was very discerning and pulled her daughter away.
If they didn't stop them, they were just taking a chance, so what if they got lucky?
But now, people's attitude is already obvious, so there is no need to rush to follow up. If you push too hard, it will make people disgusted.
You are a dignified fifth-rank water order, and the first level of official rank is overwhelming, let alone the third level. They just give you face and don't put on airs, so you have to be more sensible. If you can't be a family, don't offend others. no?
The county magistrate, his wife and Ma Yuying left, and the three siblings had time to talk properly.
The three of them were given rooms next to each other by the county magistrate's wife, just to make it easier for the family to reminisce about old times.
The three siblings were sitting in the yard. Su Wan asked Liu Yun and Liu Ying to make tea. She brought some good tea leaves on the carriage and gave some to the magistrate's family as gifts, while also keeping some for herself.
The three of them talked about the situation at home since they were separated for more than a year, and asked whether the parents at home were in good health.
Su's father and Su's mother are good at everything. Su Wan even bought a maid and a mother-in-law to take care of him. He doesn't have to worry about daily life. There are also two new cooks in the kitchen. Three meals a day can be prepared and eaten ready-made. I think Say hello to whatever you want to eat, and the old couple enjoys happiness.
Su Wan told her eldest brother that her business now covers Jiangnan and Zhongzhou areas, and she will open the market in Kyoto early next year.
There is also the fact that Yang Qingqing has gotten married, and the fourth brother's restaurant has finally opened, and the business is extremely good.
"Chenglou? What a good name. You gave it to me as soon as I heard it." When Su Jing learned that the fourth restaurant was named Chenglou, he knew that it must have been named by Su Wan. Only she had such a talent. .
"Big brother still understands me." Su Wan chuckled.
Su Yi also told Su Jing about his experiences in the past year. Su Jing couldn't help but express surprise when she heard the name of layman Qi'an.
"How come Master Qi'an thinks so highly of you? He is also a well-known scholar in Kyoto. I thought he was from Kyoto, but I didn't expect that his hometown is actually from Xiangzhou."
"Yeah, I didn't expect that we have such a powerful scholar in Xiangzhou. It's an honor for me to have his guidance." Su Yi was quite modest in this regard.
Su Wan was willing to tell her elder brother everything, even telling him about her trip to Fengyue Villa.
However, I omitted those thrilling and tortuous processes and only talked about the good aspects.
The eldest brother also understood at this moment that during his absence, their little girl had been abducted.
That man's name is Jiang Yu.
Suddenly recalling some details from the past, Su Jing always felt that there was endless tenderness hidden in Jiang Yu's eyes when he looked at their home.
He didn't understand it at that time, but now he understands that even before he knew it, Jiang Yu had been secretly eyeing their little sister.
Su Jing suddenly felt cheated. I treat you as a brother, but you actually care about my sister.
It seems that if we see Jiang Yu again in the future, we will have to have a good talk.
"Our family, Wan Wan, is now a eldest girl. Even before my eldest brother has a chance to take a good look at you or say a few words to you, you will grow up."
Su Jing raised her hand, just like when she first brought Su Wan back, and gently rubbed her head.
For a moment, he was filled with emotion.
