"There is absolutely no reason for me to take back what I give away. Besides, a favor also needs a token as a guarantee. Miss Su, keep it!" Su Guan knew that such a jade pendant was just an ordinary jade pendant to him.   If he didn't take it back, she wouldn't be so shy, so she continued to keep it. Just like he said, a token is also needed to accept a favor. "Okay, then, as you say, you can call me Su Guan in the future. It sounds weird to call me Miss Su all the time, and I can't get used to it!" 
         The two of them were not very familiar with each other, and they were a little unfamiliar when getting along with each other. They paid more attention to etiquette, which made Su Yun, who was watching the fun, feel that Su Guan was like a different person. Why was she so merciless to me? When she was discussing business outside, she was always firm and domineering. But in front of Jiang Yu, she became reasonable and considerate.   "Okay!"
Jiang Yu did not hesitate and responded. To be honest, since he was a child, except for his family members, he had never been so friendly to any strange woman, not to mention calling her by her name.
  He had been sitting outside for a long time and could not help coughing twice, which hurt his chest.
  Seeing him holding his chest and frowning, and his face was not very good, Su Guan hurriedly asked Su Yun and Su Yi to help him go back and lie down.
  Su Yi was fine, Su Yun was a little reluctant, but he finally helped him back.
  "Thank you!"
  After lying down, Jiang Yu thanked the two brothers.
  "Mr. Jiang, have a good rest. Since the eldest and second brothers have ordered, we will take good care of you!"
  Su Yi is a person who listens to his eldest brother. He seems to be well-behaved and sensible, but in fact he has his own ideas.
  Su Yun snorted twice, looking at Jiang Yu's eyes and nose.
  It's just that he looks better and is used to coaxing little girls.
  Just now, seeing Su Guan's worthless look, he was so angry. Why didn't she want others to repay her? She is a girl, isn't it good to have gold and silver? As brothers, they won't covet a penny from her.
  Su Yun is a realist, so it's not surprising that he has such thoughts.
  "Just call me Jiang Yu!"
  I have to live here for a while, so it's better not to be so unfamiliar.
  In the afternoon, He Jiaolan came to Su's house and brought a handful of cabbage seedlings. These are winter cabbage seedlings. If you plant them now, you can eat them in winter. If they grow into big cabbages and are put in the cellar, they are also convenient for storage.
  "Sister Su Guan, I'll send you some winter cabbage seedlings. While the sun is not too strong now, plant them quickly!"
  Although she brought a handful of seedlings, her eyes kept glancing into the yard. She didn't see the person she wanted to see, and she felt a little disappointed.
  Su Guan told her directly across the courtyard wall:
  "Sister Jiaolan, my eldest brother is back to the county today!"
  She told He Jiaolan so bluntly that she felt guilty. How did she know that she was here to see Su Jing? "Ah, really? Very good." She was still pretending. Su Guan had read the original novel, so how could she not know this little trick?
  "Thank you, Sister Jiaolan, for the cabbage seedlings!"
  She had no intention of letting her in. After taking the cabbage seedlings, she found a few copper coins from her body and gave them to her. She didn't want her things for free.
  "Here, is four coins enough?"
This handful of money is probably worth this price.
         Seeing that she was going to give money, He Jiaolan came here just to do favors. It would be a useless if she received the money.
  "No, no, no, it's free. It's given to you for free!"
  Su Guan saw her waving her hand, and took a step back, and then smiled.
  In the past few years, He Jiaolan always came to do favors every now and then, and gave some benefits from time to time to let the Su family remember her family's kindness.
  Although they were all trivial matters, such as sharing some seedlings and helping with some work, sometimes they would bring a bowl when the family killed a chicken, especially when Su Jing was at home.
  He Jiaolan's father was the village chief, and he should help the villagers. In the early years, the children in the family needed money to study, and most of them were borrowed from the village chief. He borrowed more or less. Five or six children went to school, which was not a small amount. These accounts were managed by Su's father and mother. The children in the family were not aware of it, and they didn't know whether it had been paid off now.
  The village chief's family had no shortage of land and food, and there were two fish ponds. The family was rich.
  This kind of good started after Su Jing passed the imperial examination. The book mentioned that the village chief had a sharp eye and could judge people. He knew that Su Jing would be an official in the future, and he was trying hard to marry his daughter to him so that she could be an official's wife in the future!
          However, the whole text is described from the perspective of the heroine, and most of the perspectives are mainly from the Gu Mansion in the early stage, telling the story of the heroine learning rules and etiquette at home, and occasionally inserting the perspectives of several brothers of the Su family.
  Gu Yue learns things quickly, and then follows Master Gu to learn business, and then meets the hero. In the later period, his business spread all over the world, and in the middle period, he did business in the capital. It was there that he knew the identity of the hero and sparked love with him.
  After the male second Jiang Yu was rescued, he did not meet the heroine several times during his recuperation in the Su family. Mrs. Gu opposed her dealings with the Su family, and she came back from time to time secretly.
  As for feelings, they should have been generated in the later period.
  Therefore, whether the He family made a demon or not, the book did not describe it.
        The eldest brother's real wife is the daughter of the dean of the county academy.
  But she is spoiled by the world, not the eldest brother's good match. She was spoiled by her family, arrogant and domineering, and very shrewd. She often embarrassed and made jokes for the eldest brother, so that after the eldest brother became a Beijing official, he still had a reputation as a fierce woman in the family.
  As for how they got together, the book says that the eldest brother tarnished someone's innocence. The incident happened before the Spring Examination, which is the end of this year. Afterwards, the eldest brother passed the exam and married the dean's daughter as promised.
  This incident was quite a big deal, even Gu Yue was alarmed. At that time, the eldest brother had just won the third place in the imperial examination. For the sake of his reputation in his official career, he had to grit his teeth and marry her.
  But the eldest brother didn't love her at all, so how could he do that? This was simply a conspiracy.
  These people were attracted by the eldest brother's strength and tried every means to climb up the ladder!
  "I can't ask it for free, it's so embarrassing."
  Su Guan's mind flooded with those fragments, her face became not very good, and she forced a smile.
  Turning around to cut a large piece of goat milk soap, opened the courtyard door and forced it to He Jiaolan.
  "Sister Jiaolan, is the soap okay for you? Since you don't want to take the money, I'll give you another piece of soap to use."
  From now on, they can't be allowed to continue playing the favor card. Things are small things, but if they accumulate, they will become big things.
  What if they use these favors to blackmail her elder brother and cause trouble for nothing?
  He Jiaolan was a little reluctant, but she still kept a smile on her face. She just felt that Su Guan was really enthusiastic and didn't think too much.
