"Sister Shen, I will change my story soon. My eldest brother is already counting the betrothal gifts and preparing to go to the Shen family to propose marriage."
Su Wan talked to Shen Qingli while walking on the road.
Su Jing always felt ashamed of Shen Qingli, so he wanted to prepare more betrothal gifts to propose marriage in order to express his importance and sincerity to the Shen family.
Su Jing completed the Xuanhe Dam project, and the Holy Father gave him many rewards. Su Wan and Su's mother also kept those valuable jade ornaments that he had won the top prize in high school. All of these will be sent to the Shen family as betrothal gifts. .
Intermarriage among officials is no better than among merchants. Don't make the war too big, as it will easily lead to suspicion of trade.
As the saying goes, those who live on salary will not compete with the people for their business. If an official is found doing business, he will be punished.
However, the Su family was already doing business before Su Jing was in high school and had its own industry. This does not mean that he knew the law and broke the law after taking office.
Moreover, as long as nothing goes out of line and the profit is not large, the court will turn a blind eye.
Anyway, you have to pay taxes.
Shen Qingli blushed even more when she heard Su Wan say this. She lowered her head and looked at her toes.
Su Wan knew that she was ashamed, so he didn't say anything more and just covered her mouth and snickered.
The eldest brother said that the matter should be settled as soon as possible. Shen Qingli could not wait too long and wanted to get married before summer came.
While walking on the road, two figures suddenly appeared at a small fork in the road.
Because it was dark and they couldn't see clearly, Su Wan and Shen Qingli were forced to stop.
The two people opposite also stopped and looked at each other with lanterns. They turned out to be old friends.
It turned out to be Gu Yue. She walked out from the path on one side. It looked like she was meeting someone at night.
Gu Yue also saw clearly that it was Su Wan, so she stood firmly on the spot, waiting for her to salute him.
She was the head of the county now, and she had the upper hand over Su Wan. Su Wan had to salute when he saw her. She felt happy when she thought of Su Wan bowing his head in front of her.
Shen Qingli didn't know the grudge between the two, so she followed the etiquette and pulled Su Wan to salute her.
Although Su Wan was reluctant, he still followed Fu Shen.
"I've met County Master Huaimin."
Su Wan didn't say anything, she just thought that if she makes you happy this time, it may not be possible in the future.
Gu Yue was indeed happy and put on airs:
"It turns out it's Miss Shen San and Miss Su. No need to be polite, you also want to go back to Weiyang Palace, right? Why don't we come together."
"The county master invites you first." Shen Qingli nodded towards her.
Su Wan curled her lips out of sight, Gu Yue walked in front, and they were a little behind.
Su Wan was very cold after being blown outside for so long. He didn't feel warmer until he arrived at Weiyang Palace.
Su Wan noticed that the lipstick on Gu Yue's lips was a little stained. Sure enough, she went to see Murong Sheng.
Before Su Wan went in, he specifically asked Liu Ying if her bun was messy. Liu Ying shook her head and she walked in with confidence.
Several empresses have already returned to the palace, but only the queen is still sitting on the throne.
However, she looked a little tired and rubbed her forehead from time to time. When she saw Su Wan and Shen Qingli coming in, she nodded and smiled at them.
The queen is worthy of being a queen, she is graceful and regal, and her temperament is that of the mother of a country.
However, Su Wan had observed around before and found that the looks of the ladies were all outstanding. They were all beautiful women. You can see how stunning they were when they were young. However, the Queen's face was relatively peaceful and peaceful. Her beauty was not stunning, mainly because of her beauty. Virtuous.
News came from Qinghe Hall that the emperor was drunk and had gone back to the palace to rest, and the banquet was broken up.
The Weiyang Palace was about to disperse, and the Queen Mother announced that everyone could go back. The ladies and ladies then left the palace one after another to join their father and brothers.
Su Jing and Su Chen specially came to pick up Su Wan in front of the entrance to the harem.
Su Wan came out with Mrs. Shen and Shen Qingli.
When he saw his eldest brother and third brother waiting for him, he happily held up his skirt and passed by.
"Big brother, third brother~"
The little girl can now be as coquettish as she wants.
Su Jing and Su Chen looked at her with tender and doting eyes.
"Is it cold?" Su Jing asked.
Su Wan shook her head. She just stayed in Weiyang Palace for a while and regained her temper.
The bachelor also came to pick up his wife and daughter. Su Jing raised her head and looked at Shen Qingli. Shen Qingli was also looking at him. The two looked at each other with an affectionate look.
Su Wan saw the two people's eyes tightening, and secretly sighed that he had bumped again.
"Let's go, it's late at night, and my parents are still waiting at home!" Su Chen reminded Su Jing by patting her shoulder.
Everyone walked towards Xuanwu Gate together. Su Wan saw Jiang Yu standing in a dark corner, looking at her quietly.
She turned around after taking a few steps, and every time she looked back, he stood there and looked at her.
Su Chen suddenly stretched out his hand and straightened her head so that she could look forward.
"Wan Wan, you have to pay attention when you walk. Look in front of you. Why are you always looking behind you?"
Su Chen deliberately didn't let her see Jiang Yu. He was still angry, but he couldn't bear to be angry with Su Wan.
After arriving at Xuanwu Gate and saying goodbye to Shen Qingli, the three brothers and sisters prepared to get on the carriage.
Gu Yue's carriage passed by. She opened the curtains and looked out, and happened to catch the eyes of the three brothers and sisters of the Su family.
When Su Chen saw Gu Yue, he thought he had seen it wrong. Su Jing did not react, while Su Wan was speechless.
It's so annoying, it's such a conspicuous bag.
Gu Yue also knew that the Su family didn't want to see her now, so she didn't take the initiative to say hello.
After getting on the carriage, Su Chen asked his question.
Su Wan told him what he knew.
After listening, Su Chen nodded to express his understanding, and said with emotion:
"Then she's quite a nice person!"
He didn't know the complexity of it. He heard that everything Gu Yue did was a good thing, so he said this.
Su Wan didn't want him to feel like this anymore. She had selfish motives in this regard and didn't want Su Chen to change his view of her.
"She is now in love with the fifth prince. If she wants to marry the fifth prince, she is not qualified as a merchant girl, but now that she is the county head, she is worthy."
Gu Yue originally did this out of selfish motives, she was just telling the truth.
Su Chen felt like he heard something shocking again.
"What, her and Murong Sheng?" Su Chen looked at Su Jing with an incredulous expression.
Su Jing was not sure either. He only knew that the two people were indeed on the same side. In the past, Gu Yue came to win over him on behalf of the fifth prince.
"How did she know the fifth prince?" Su Chen thought that the identities of these two people were unrelated.
It's a long story. Su Wan doesn't mind saying it again. The road back is still long anyway.
So, she told her third brother what happened in Yanzhou before.
