Chapter 302: You can never wake up a selfish person
Mr. Zhao San was probably taught a lesson and suspected that Su Wan was not a big shot that he could not afford to offend, so he never came to cause trouble again.
Now that the matter of Jeju was settled, Su Wan didn't want to delay any longer and immediately went to You County, Minzhou.
But before leaving, Da Niu and Erya had to find a way to send him to Fengyue Villa.
There is an intelligence point of Fengyue Villa in Jeju City. Send the child there and they will send someone to Fengyue Villa.
However, Da Niu was too stubborn. He insisted on staying with Su Wan and refused to go to Fengyue Villa. No matter how much he was persuaded and how much reason he had given, he finally wavered a little.
Fengyue Villa is undoubtedly the best place for the two brothers and sisters. They have been with Su Wan during this period and have enough meals every day. But they don’t know what the place they are going to is like. Is it better than being with Su Wan?
He had had enough of the days of being homeless, hungry and cold, so when he finally found a life-saving straw, Da Niu didn't want to give it up. It was mainly for the sake of his younger sister, and he wanted her to have a good place to go!
But now, Su Wan has already chosen a place for them. Brother Anan and the others have always told them about their days at Fengyue Villa. It's nothing special, just that they have food, drink, shelter, and can also learn a lot of skills.
In the future, when I have learned some skills, I can come back to repay my sister.
Therefore, Da Niu agreed to stay and go to Fengyue Villa.
After staying in Jeju for a month, most of the refugees outside the city have been reduced. It will take another five or six days to reach Minju Youxian.
The further you go, the more desolate the area becomes, with loess and dead trees everywhere.
…
Su Jing's Du Shui Ling Mansion is in Minzhou City, but he often lives in the courtyard built on the hillside in You County. He drew a picture about the construction of the dam.
The dam map he drew based on the terrain of the upper reaches of the Xuan River seems complicated, but once it is built, it can effectively withstand severe floods during the flood season every year through some unique features of the dam.
After this drawing was presented, the emperor immediately ordered that no effort should be spared in the construction of the Xuanhe River dam, no matter how much money and material resources it would cost. After all, once the dam was built, it would be a great cause that would benefit future generations, and it had to be built no matter how great the pressure was.
Nowadays, both the former dynasty and the harem have cut down on expenses. The queen has taken the lead and ordered all the concubines in the harem to donate money and gold and silver. Now no one dares to wear gold and silver. Now we have to build dams and fight on the front line, which requires a large amount of military supplies. The emperor does not allow his ministers to be extravagant. Once discovered, it will be a serious crime.
Near the Xuanhe River basin, Su Jing has begun leading a group of soldiers and civilians to plant trees, widen the river, and divert water into the fields.
He even discovered a substance called limestone. He mined the limestone, ground it into lime powder, burned it at high temperature, mixed it with clay, added water, and then pasted it on the brick wall. In this way, the wall built was indestructible and could withstand hundreds of years of wind and sun and could definitely withstand floods during the flood season.
Su Jing was very smart. In addition to these, he also requested an imperial decree to raise the river banks at several specific points in the Xuan River basin and dredge mud from the riverbed for reconstruction. This would not only reduce the materials needed for reconstruction, but also deepen the riverbed.
Su Wan didn't say hello before leaving. When he passed by Minzhou City, he found that a large number of refugees had gathered at the city gate, and the situation inside the city was not much better.
I went into the city and took a look around. Although the damage here was not very serious, it is a provincial capital after all. It is so poor that it is not even as good as Jeju.
Looking at this situation, Su Wan also realized that there was no need to rush to open a branch in Minzhou, as even if he did, there would probably be no business.
However, Su Wan discovered something interesting.
That is, she actually met Gu Yue in Minzhou. Can you guess what she was doing in Minzhou?
She actually opened a soup kitchen at the gate of Minzhou City to provide relief to refugees.
Su Wan and Su Yi stayed in an inn in Minzhou for one night. Because their brother was not at home, they did not go to Du Shuiling Mansion. While eating, they heard the tenants downstairs talking about Miss Gu at the city gate.
"This Miss Gu truly has the heart of a bodhisattva. She's been running a porridge stall at the gate of our Minzhou city for over a month now, personally serving porridge to the refugees every day. She's even hired a doctor and brought medicinal herbs to treat their illnesses. It's said she even donated 50,000 taels of silver to build the Xuan River dam. She's like the reincarnation of Guanyin, a living bodhisattva who saves the suffering!"
"Yes, if there were more kind people like Miss Gu in this world, there would be less suffering in the world!"
Su Yi and Su Wan were both confused when they heard this.
Especially Su Wan, she didn't know what Gu Yue meant by this. She didn't do these things in the original novel. So is she spending so much energy and financial resources just to gain a good reputation?
This shouldn't be the case. Gu Yue must have her own reasons for doing these things. Su Wan thought about it and had only one conclusion in his mind.
That is, Gu Yue did all this to earn a good reputation for herself, so that she could gain an identity in the future that would be worthy of her brother Sheng.
This donation is a total of 50,000 taels, which is a huge amount.
In the original novel, Su Wan did all kinds of bad things and was not liked by the Su family. Later, his brothers asked for the status of a county lord for Gu Yue.
After Gu Yue became the princess of a county, she was no longer an ordinary merchant girl, and naturally became worthy of Murong Sheng.
This time, the Su family was disappointed in Gu Yue because of Su Yun. She couldn't borrow the power of the Su family, so she had to find a way to earn fame on her own, right?
"Miss Gu is so kind that she even came all the way from Yanzhou to Minzhou to provide disaster relief and donate money. She is truly a rare good person!" Su Yi smiled while drinking tea and raised his eyebrows.
Su Wan curled his lips when he heard this, feeling a little jealous:
"Fifth brother, the tone of your words makes me feel quite relieved."
Su Wan thought, could it be that after this incident, Fifth Brother changed his mind about her and would continue to be nice to her in the future?
What should she do then?
Once Gu Yue gains power, she will never let me have an easy time. She wants to surpass me in everything!
Hearing her tone, Su Yi couldn't help laughing and quickly coaxed:
"How could that be? No matter how good she is, she is no longer a member of our Su family. Moreover, what she did to Fourth Brother is unforgivable. I will always have a thorn in my heart. If every time danger comes, she only thinks of pushing others out to block the knife and survive, then no matter how many good things she does afterwards, it will be useless. If there is a first time, there will be a second time. You can never wake up a selfish person."
Su Yi is a very clear-headed person. He has long been extremely disappointed with Gu Yue. Moreover, their relationship was just average when they were at home. Gu Yue was born to give people a condescending feeling. She was obviously also in the quagmire, but she always stood on the commanding heights and denied the efforts of others.
Because of this alone, he will never be able to feel the same way about her again.
