This time, Gu Yue came to see Su Jing, not just to reminisce over the past, but to win over her.
What he said at first was just some indifferent old talk, but later he started to mention Murong Sheng.
Although her relationship with Murong Sheng was not revealed, she was praising Murong Sheng both inside and outside her words.
Gu Yue was also smart. She expected that Su Wan had already told her elder brother about these things, so there was no need for her to explain it anymore, so she could just be more direct.
Throughout the whole process, Su Jing only expressed her gratitude for the donation for the construction of the Xuanhe Dam, and did not directly respond to any of her guiding words during the meeting.
Anyway, it was perfunctory and lukewarm, giving Gu Yue the feeling of being punched into cotton.
She also truly felt Su Jing's indifference and alienation towards her.
She thought to herself that this Su Wan must have said something to slander Murong Sheng in front of her eldest brother, so that his attitude was so unclear.
She was naturally angry, but there was nothing she could do about it. Now she regretted not having a good relationship with Su Wan.
Now, she was stuck in the middle, making it difficult for her to do many things smoothly.
Seeing that Su Jing had stayed here for such a long time, she thought about going back early to accompany Wan Wan. It was not easy to see her once. She left again after two days, so why not cherish your time?
So Su Jing stood up and said goodbye.
"Miss Gu, there are still many things on the dam that need me to make decisions, so I'll excuse you now. Before that, I would like to thank Miss Gu again on behalf of the people of Xuanhe."
Su Jing bowed to her, and Gu Yue quickly stood up to help him:
"Brother, what are you doing? Why should you be polite to me?"
"It is not easy for Mr. Gu to do business, but he is willing to donate generously for the people of Xuanhe, which is a great act of justice. However, since he is not here, I cannot thank him in person. I also ask Miss Gu to convey my gratitude to me. "
Su Jing's words made Gu Yue's face look even uglier. When he said thank you to Mr. Gu, wasn't he telling her in disguise that the person he wanted to thank was Mr. Gu who could earn all this money, not her, Gu Yue? ?
That's right, all this money was earned by Master Gu and had nothing to do with her, Gu Yue.
Gu Yue withdrew her hand in embarrassment, her expression almost unbearable.
She sent him downstairs in silence, and the atmosphere was a little delicate.
Before Su Jing got on the carriage, she still called him:
"Brother!"
Su Jing heard the sound and turned slightly to look at her. There was no emotion in her eyes, quietly waiting for her next words.
Gu Yue stepped forward, her eyes were already red, her nose was very sour, and her words were also dyed with a thick nasal voice, slightly sobbing:
"Brother, if I hadn't done that to Fourth Brother, would you have treated me the same way you did when you were a child?"
Gu Yue also knew that because of Su Yun's incident, the family was disappointed in her and was now so alienated.
Not only because of this incident, but also because of many details, the Su family also understood the gap between themselves and the Gu family.
Gu Yue should have lived in the Gu family since she was born. It is said that she is not a family and does not belong to the same family. Although she has lived with them in the poor Su family since she was a child, she has a condescending sense of superiority in her bones and between her eyebrows. .
Sometimes, she even looked at the villagers in the same village with contempt.
He still remembers looking back at the night before home. He originally thought that Gu Yue was hiding in the room and refused to come out to eat because she was sad that she was about to be separated from them.
But through the crack in the door, he saw Gu Yue's bright and bright smile. She was sitting on the edge of the bed, dangling her legs, as if she was dreaming about something, with light and expectation in her eyes.
She got up to pack her things, but halfway through, she stuffed the clothes back into the old cabinet with a look of disgust on her face, slammed the door, and then kicked aside the intact pair of embroidered shoes at the foot of the bed.
Obviously a few days ago, when she got this new pair of embroidered shoes, she was so happy that she couldn't bear to wear them, treating them like a treasure.
These shoes were given to her by Su Jing. He bought the shoes for her with all the dozens of pennies he earned from copying books for others in the academy.
However, those shoes were disliked and kicked aside mercilessly, and his heart as a big brother was also broken.
Su Jing was silent for a moment, then he smiled, turned to look at Gu Yue, and said:
"Miss Gu, the wind has picked up, go back quickly!"
After saying that, he got into the carriage.
Gu Yue's bitter smile finally collapsed. She still didn't understand, who didn't make mistakes when they were young?
She already knew she was wrong, so is she so unworthy of forgiveness?
…
When Su Jing returned to the dam, Su Wan and Su Yi had a tacit understanding and did not ask what he and Gu Yue had said, and Su Jing did not take the initiative to say anything.
The three brothers and sisters stayed quietly for a while, and seemed to have returned to their old life in Goat'ao. Every day they just thought about what to eat for the next meal and how to make the food delicious.
Su Wan came over this time and brought some autumn and winter clothes for her eldest brother, all of which Su's mother sewed by herself.
She was thinking that her son would be surrounded by mud and sand every day and would definitely wear clothes that could withstand stains, so she chose dark fabrics.
She also made the shoes herself, high boots with thick soles that are not afraid of water getting in.
Su Wan also made him two black fox fur cloaks. It was winter on the dam and the wind was strong, so he was afraid that he would catch the wind chill accidentally.
After half a month, the three brothers and sisters are undoubtedly happy. When people are happy, life goes by faster.
Su Wan and Su Yi thought that after staying for so long, it was time to leave. While they were here, their eldest brother had to worry about them every day and couldn't do their own thing well. Su Wan asked Liu Yun and the others to pack their things. We left You County the next day.
It was another autumn, and Su Wan was thinking about Miss Shen San. He was afraid that his eldest brother would miss her, so he did not plan to return to Xiangzhou first.
It was now approaching October, and she had to finalize her business in Kyoto before the New Year. The New Year would not be celebrated until February next year. She still had plenty of time, but she was out for a long time, and her family would inevitably miss her.
She had no choice but to write a letter to her family and tell her parents about her eldest brother. She also said in the letter that she was anxious to be a mouthpiece and let them wait at home for the important matter of their eldest son's marriage!
It's the fourth brother's side. When the time comes to go back, it's time to coax him. He promised to only go there for three months, but now it's already passed.
That's all, Chenglou's business must be so good that he has no time to be distracted. Things have priorities, and the eldest brother's matters are more important now.
Before leaving, Su Wan specifically asked her eldest brother if he wanted to prepare any gifts so that she could take them to Kyoto and give them to Miss Shen San.
Su Jing thought about it and wrote a letter using a few pieces of paper. He didn't bring anything good when he came to Xuanhe. He only had a jade pendant given by the emperor that was most important.
Since it is an imperial gift, giving it to Miss Shen San this time is enough to show the trace.
When Su Wan got the letter, he pinched it carefully. Good guy, it's thick enough. I didn't expect the elder brother to be so verbose. Did he write everything he wanted to say in the past year?
There is also this jade pendant, which was given by the emperor. It is a great honor. I will give it to Miss Shen San. I want Su Wan to say, brother, don’t love me too much.
