Chapter 242: This recipe is more familiar
"Brother passed the imperial examination and became the top scorer? This is such a great joy!" Gu Yue's expression and tone were filled with surprise.
Because she usually didn't pay much attention to this matter, she didn't know that the top scorer in this year's exam was Su Jing.
"So this year's top scorer is your elder brother. I had the pleasure of meeting him. He is truly a distinguished man. His flood control strategies are renowned throughout the world, bringing great fortune to the people of Xuanhe."
Su Jing was also on Murong Sheng's list of people to be won over. He had met Su Jing and had a few words with him. He was sure that this person would achieve something in the future.
If he could ascend to the throne in the future, he would need young and talented people like this under his command to clean up the filth that had accumulated in the court for many years.
"My eldest brother is now in high school. My parents can finally have their hard work undone, and the Su family's ancestors are also honored." Gu Yue was happy for her eldest brother from the bottom of her heart.
For some reason, when Su Wan saw Gu Yue again this time, he always felt that she had become very different.
You can tell from her words and the emotions in her eyes that compared to our previous dealings, she seems to have improved and no longer cares about trivial gains and losses.
Moreover, the look in her eyes when she looked at him before was clearly one of dissatisfaction, but now it has become sincere, and it feels like she has been possessed.
In fact, she could feel before that Gu Yue didn't like her, and she didn't know whether she had really figured it out or it was just because her acting was so good.
Or maybe she was thinking too much. She still remembered that after her fourth brother got into trouble last year, Gu Yue came to Yuemanxilou to apologize to him. As a result, everyone was extremely disappointed in her and the situation was very unpleasant. When she left for the last time, the look in her eyes made her want to eat herself.
"Although there are misunderstandings between you two, they are also due to the grudges of the previous generation. Ultimately, you are both victims. If you can put aside the past grudges and become good sisters, it will be a great story to spread!"
She didn't know what Gu Yue and Murong Sheng talked about. She felt that Murong Sheng seemed to know everything, more than she knew.
Now, he has taken the initiative to help them reconcile.
Su Wan just smiled and drank tea to hide her embarrassment. She didn't have any ill intentions towards Gu Yue.
Gu Yue did not respond to this conversation, but picked up a piece of cake on the table and handed it to Su Wan with both hands.
She looked at Su Wan with a smile, as if to say, as long as you accept this cake, we will be temporarily reconciled.
Of course Su Wan accepted it. Could it be that she really wanted to offend the heroine?
But those who understand know that it is impossible to let go of the matter between the two of them all at once.
Just like Gu Yue always blamed Su Wan for living a life of wealth and glory for her for more than ten years, and the five brothers who cherished her the most also changed their attitude after Su Wan returned.
She felt that all the suffering was hers, and Su Wan was the luckiest one.
You see, even though Su Wan no longer had the status of a rich lady, not long after she returned to her poor home, the Su family got better and better, and their lives became better and better. Her eldest brother is now the top scholar. It was as if Su Wan took some time to experience rural life, and when she returned, she was still a rich lady.
But she didn't know that Su Wan's current position was inseparable from her own efforts, and she also fought a lot for it.
In fact, Gu Yue also knew that the identity exchange was not caused by Su Wan, but there were still some thorns in her heart that could not be removed, and she just couldn't become a close sister with her.
From now on, the two of them should continue to get along peacefully, but they will not cross that line.
"I'm very curious, how did Prince Jiang know Miss Su?"
Murong Sheng and Jiang Yu had very little dealings with each other. He had only met him once at the palace banquet in Kyoto two years ago.
Jiang Yu was wearing a mask and his true face could not be seen clearly. Later, they met again by chance in the back garden and happened to see his face after he took off the mask.
If it wasn't for this coincidence, he really wouldn't have recognized her when they met on the boat just now.
The reason why I can remember it after just one meeting is mainly due to Jiang Yu's outstanding appearance, which makes people unforgettable.
Jiang Yu, the prince of Duke Jiang's Mansion, started learning martial arts at Fengyue Villa when he was young and seldom returned to Kyoto. Even when he was entertaining people, he wore a mask. So everyone speculated that Prince Jiang was ugly or had an injury on his face, so he didn't dare to show his true face. In fact, they were all wrong. Prince Jiang chose to cover his face because his appearance was too eye-catching.
Murong Sheng is very popular in Kyoto. His face is the dream lover of thousands of girls in Kyoto. However, in their eyes, the Fifth Prince Murong Sheng is not diligent in government affairs and has no lofty ambitions. Therefore, some girls of marriageable age in some aristocratic families rarely think of marrying their daughters to him.
He thought that if the prince of Jiangguo showed his true face, then the dream lover of thousands of girls would not necessarily be him, Murong Sheng.
"Then how did Master Sheng know Miss Gu?" Jiang Yu did not answer his question, but threw the question back.
If he, a prince, can get to know an ordinary merchant girl, why can't he, a crown prince, get to know her?
Murong Sheng obviously didn't expect Jiang Yu to ask him back. His expression froze for a moment, then he looked at Gu Yue with a smile.
Gu Yue also looked at him, and the two of them exchanged glances. Gu Yue's face flushed with embarrassment.
It seems that these two are in the period of passionate love.
The relationship between the male and female protagonists developed so well that Su Wan felt inexplicably at ease.
Now, Jiang Yu doesn't like Gu Yue anymore, which means he has escaped the fate of being the miserable second male lead. How great!
"Of course it's fate!"
Murong Sheng felt that it was fate that made them meet, get to know each other, fall in love, and then support each other.
After he finished speaking, he looked at Jiang Yu, and Jiang Yu replied:
“Ditto!”
Murong Sheng smiled knowingly and looked back and forth at Jiang Yu and Su Wan:
"You two look like a good match."
"Really? Thank you for the compliment. You and Miss Gu are a perfect match."
Jiang Yu finally laughed because of this sentence from the moment he sat down. He was definitely in love.
Su Wan found his useless appearance cute, but she discovered that Gu Yue was looking at her with a puzzled look, as if saying, how could Prince Jiang like her?
Su Wan looked back at her rudely, and seemed to be answering her:
"Why, the Fifth Prince can like you, but Jiang Yu can't like me?"
The two of them curled their lips at the same time. At this moment, they felt like they were back to the state where no one looked down on the other.
That’s right, this formula is more familiar. The way they got along before was too fake, and she is not used to it yet.
"Su Wan, why did you think of coming to Yanzhou?" Seeing that everyone was silent, Gu Yue took the initiative to find a topic and mentioned Su Wan again.
"I'm here to do business." Su Wan answered truthfully.
"What's your business?"
"Goat milk soap business, I plan to open a branch in Yanzhou." Su Wan thought, you are asking this question even though you already know the answer.
