Chapter 524: 525 Jin Xun, a talented person
Carved roof and embroidered railings, white stone railings encircle the pond.
The extravagance showcases the owner’s extreme wealth.
Xiao Qinghe had done part-time work in wealthy families before becoming disabled, but none as rich as this. It was his first time seeing such a luxurious garden. He frequently stole glances at his wife’s expression, fearing that she would despise their own poverty after seeing such wealth.
Fortunately, his wife didn’t show any abnormal expressions.
Ji knew how luxurious and magnificent his master’s house was, and many people wished to come in for a glimpse but were not able to.
Many who came in sighed and lamented, wishing they could stay longer.
However, Su Qingyue, a simple village girl, didn’t even change her expression, as if the buildings in front of her were just ordinary scenes to her eyes.
Ji couldn’t help but ask, “Miss Su, what do you think of my master’s house?”
Su Qingyue knew what he was thinking. Did he expect her to praise the splendor of the Jin Residence? She had no such intention. “A golden nest and a silver nest are not as good as my own doghouse.”
Ji found her response uninteresting, but he also thought Su Qingyue wasn’t blinded by wealth.
Hearing this, Xiao Qinghe was deeply moved internally.
His wife didn’t despise the Xiao family’s poverty.
Ji pointed to a pavilion in front and said, “Miss Su, you can wait there. Our family head may be in his study. I’ll go and inform him that you are here.”
“Mmm.” She nodded.
Ji hurried away.
Su Qingyue saw a hint of melancholy in Xiao Qinghe’s eyes and asked indifferently, “Fourth brother, what do you think of Jin Residence?”
Hearing her question, his heart skipped a beat, fearing she would have other thoughts, “It’s…very good.”
Seeing his worried expression, her voice was as elegant and gentle as the wind, “In this world, everyone’s wealth is different. Some people are born rich, while some struggle their entire lives and remain poor. Other people’s wealth may be worth envying, but not worth resenting. Instead of resenting others, it’s better to fight hard with all one’s strength and change one’s fate through one’s own hands. I know that fourth brother has a calm heart and has never complained about anything. My words are only to explain my life philosophy as Su Qingyue.”
“Qingyue…” He gazed at her tenderly and emotionally.
She smiled faintly, “I also want to tell you that no matter what, whether in poverty or wealth, we are a family. I will not despise my house or family members. I hope my fourth brother doesn’t take it to heart.”
His clear eyes began to well up with unshed tears, “Alright.” Heaven had blessed him with the best wife.
On the other side of the artificial hill, Jin Xun listened to Su Qingyue’s words and felt an unusual sense of calm in his heart.
He felt that his life’s goal was so clear.
Her goal was to make her family wealthy and successful.
Just listening to her voice felt like a breath of fresh air, as crisp and pleasant as the sound of a singing oriole; if one didn’t look at her face, one would think she was a peerless beauty.
Unfortunately…
Thinking of Su Qingyue’s ugly face, Jin Xun frowned.
Su Qingyue also noticed someone behind the artificial hill and asked indifferently, “Who’s there?”
Jin Xun emerged from the other side of the hill.
He was wearing a brown brocade robe, covered with a similarly colored gauze layer, which made his outfit appear even more luxurious.
His hair was neatly tied, a jade crown on top of his head, a hairpin horizontally pierced through the crown; his face could only be described as above average, still not as good as his third or fourth brother.
But when paired with his luxurious clothes, he appeared quite refined.
Jin Xun was known to be handsome, but according to Su Qingyue, most of it was due to his attire.
What made him handsome was his family’s wealth.
