Chapter 315: Su Jing is really good, he can compete with the sun and the moon
Shen Qingli took out the jade pendant, placed it in the palm of her hand and rubbed it carefully. Su Jing had changed the way the jade pendant was tied, and the rope below was tied into a heart-shaped knot with a red rope.
Su Wan began to assist appropriately:
"Big brother actually gave this jade pendant to Sister Shen? This is a topaz gifted by the emperor. Big brother cherishes it very much and wears it every day. He is quite clever. He actually took his own red string and made a love knot to give to Sister Shen. It shows how much he values Sister Shen!"
When Shen Qingqing heard this, her heart beat faster and her ears turned red, but her face was filled with a sweet smile.
Su Jing gave her such an important thing, which was enough to express his appreciation for her.
Although she did not respond to Su Wan, her reaction said it all.
Afterwards, Shen Qingli opened the envelope and began to read Su Jing's letter carefully. Su Wan didn't know what was written in it, so it was not convenient to ask. These were all love words between the young couple.
Taking advantage of this gap, Su Wan drank tea and ate snacks, waiting quietly for her to finish reading.
But why are my eyes turning red just by looking at this?
Su Wan didn't dare to ask and could only watch from the side.
After reading it, Shen Qingli folded the letter back into its original shape, put it back into the envelope, and put it back into the box.
She touched the jade pendant carefully, put it back into the box and locked it.
Seeing this, her maid Le'er wanted to take the box away, but was stopped by Shen Qingli. She put one hand on the box, shook her head at Le'er, and motioned her to leave.
“Sister Shen, now you also know my eldest brother’s affection for you. If you have anything to say to him, you might as well write it down and I will send it to him for you.”
Shen Qingli smiled and nodded, saying okay, then told Le'er to get paper, pen and envelope.
The boat floated quietly on the lake, and the sun was shining brightly outside.
There was another period of silence until Shen Qingli finished writing the letter, put it in a box, and then handed it to Su Wan with a blushing face.
It says, Written by Su Lang himself.
Oh my, this is Su Lang? Su Wan looked as if she had been hit by something.
“Don’t worry, Sister Shen, I won’t peek.” She deliberately joked.
When Shen Qingli heard this, she started laughing, feeling a little embarrassed because she knew she was joking.
Su Wan turned around and gave the letter to Liuyun, asking her to pack it and find someone to send it back to You County after getting off the boat.
"For our sake, I've troubled you to come all the way to Kyoto. You must be very tired, right?"
Shen Qingli thought that Su Wan came to Kyoto specifically for this matter.
Su Wan didn't treat her as an outsider and simply admitted it generously:
"It's not just about this matter. I came to Kyoto, on the one hand, to deliver a token of love for my eldest brother, and on the other hand, to do business. I may have to stay in Kyoto for the next two months, and go back before the New Year. Sister Shen, if you feel bored, you can come to Furong Cottage to play with me anytime. My fifth brother is also traveling with us this time, but this is the first time I meet you, so I didn't let him come with me for fear of being abrupt."
Su Wan also gave Shen Qingli an extraordinary first impression. This girl exuded a bright aura all over her body. It could be said that she herself was a bright person.
Beautiful, energetic, smart, fresh and refined, all can be used to describe Su Wan.
Especially when she smiles, she is so sweet that makes people want to get close to her.
The most important thing is that Su Wan is not like the noble ladies in Kyoto who like to put on airs wherever they go. She does not have an air of superiority. She is very approachable, yet thoughtful and polite.
The fact that she didn't bring her fifth brother with her this time shows that she has seriously considered herself.
"I used to hear Su Lang often talk about you. He said that you are good at business, quirky, and can always come up with many interesting things. It is because of you that he has the confidence to embark on this journey to Beijing to take the exam." Shen Qingli thought of Su Jing's face always beaming with joy when he talked about his sister, and his expression was full of pride.
When Su Wan heard this, she suddenly had an idea. She really wanted to know what her elder brother thought of her.
So he asked Shen Qingli:
“Sister Shen, what did my eldest brother say about me in front of you?”
Seeing how curious she was, Shen Qingli naturally told her everything she knew:
"He said he had a very good sister, the best sister in the world, who always silently tolerated the whole family and tried her best to make the family live better and go further. He told me about your situation, and I found it incredible when I heard it.
But I can tell he cares deeply about you, his younger sister. He says you're his guiding light in life, and whenever he talks about you, his tone is filled with pride. He tells me how good you are at making money, how sensible you are, how you care about the feelings of every brother in the family, and even how you repay kindness with kindness, and how you've never given him any worries. He says he studied hard, not just for himself and his parents, but also to live up to your expectations of him. He says he'll work even harder to climb the ladder, so that even if you get married in the future, he'll be your source of strength."
Hey, after hearing what Shen Qingli said, Su Wan felt a little embarrassed. She covered her face with her hands, but her heart was filled with joy.
It turns out that in the eldest brother's heart, she is so good that she deserves the best in the world.
It seems that everything she did was worth it.
"Oh, how could I be as good as my elder brother says? In fact, he is my pride. From now on, when I go out, no matter who I meet, I can proudly tell them that my elder brother is the top scholar and a great hero in flood control. Doesn't that give me goosebumps?"
Shen Qingli nodded, and she did feel goosebumps all over her body.
Su Jing is really good, he can compete with the sun and the moon.
"I really envy the bond between you two siblings."
Although Shen Qingli came from a good family, disputes were inevitable in her family's harem.
If she hadn't been a legitimate daughter, she would have been bullied to death.
There are three daughters in her family, and she is the only legitimate one. Her two concubine sisters are both married. Although they married into a lower position and became the legal wife, there are always people who use the fact that they are concubines to suppress them.
And as for her brothers, her biological brother was away on a work assignment, and her two half-brothers had never been close to her and were more like enemies. So she envied Su Wan and Su Jing for having such a good relationship.
Su Wan could hear the envy in her tone, so she took her hand and said with confidence:
"Sister Chen, I'm sorry to have wronged you, but you must wait patiently for my eldest brother. When he becomes successful in the future, he will grant you a phoenix crown and a red robe, a sedan chair carried by eight people, and three letters and six ceremonies, and marry you formally. Moreover, our Su family's ancestral precepts stipulate that you can only marry a wife in this life and not take concubines. If you marry my eldest brother from now on, you will be together for life, and he will never let you down. If he dares to bully you, not only will I not agree, but even my parents will break his legs!"
This is not empty talk, Su Jing can definitely do it. Moreover, Su's father did say that no matter how glorious the men of the Su family become, they are not allowed to have a messy family. They are only allowed to marry wives and not concubines.
