It's no wonder that Su Qingluan now has such a stress mentality towards everyone in Xie's house, even the servants. After several dealings with him, Su Qingluan fully understood what "capriciousness" means and what "capriciousness" means. It's called "crushing you to death is like crushing an ant to death."
Of course, Su Qingluan was not a pushover to be trifled with. He was really anxious and immediately asked the other party to learn what it means to be "barefooted and not afraid of wearing shoes".
However, Su Qingluan still didn't want to go crazy unless forced to do so, so regarding the Xie Mansion, considering the jam, this was like a particularly troublesome Party A. He could not be offended, but could only stay away from him.
But behind the scenes, Su Qingluan would inevitably complain.
After all, if you can't beat him, why can't you give him a scolding?
She was muttering in her heart that the people in the Xie Mansion were going to cause trouble this time, but Su Qingluan had a very enthusiastic smile on her face.
Yang and Su Guangfu had already learned from Su Qingluan that this was a servant of the Xie Mansion, so they did not meet Su Qingluan together. Instead, they went around to the Li family next door, brought Su Xueyan back, and went directly in with Su Xuanhe. Went to the house.
Su Qingluan did not intend to involve his family in the business with the Xie family, and the servants of the Xie family obviously did not intend to have any friendship with the farmer's family, so both of them ignored the rest of the Su family. .
The boy also bought Su's sewer soup several times, and Su Qingluan was already familiar with him. So she took the initiative to say hello: "This little brother has not been here to buy water soup in the past two days!"
Her smile was polite and full of enthusiasm. In addition, although Su Qingluan had a beautiful appearance, she was not very old and was not fully opened. She still had a little baby fat, so she looked particularly friendly.
Then the boy also smiled a little: "The weather is getting colder and colder. The scenery in the mansion and the clothes of our servants need to be changed. It has been a bit busy recently."
Su Qingluan took a closer look, and sure enough, although the outermost fabric of the boy was still a light gray short coat, it could be seen that the middle coat had an extra layer and looked thicker.
Su Qingluan nodded: "I wonder why my little brother came here specially today?"
When the boy heard this, he took out something like an envelope from his arms and handed it to her respectfully: "Mrs. Su, please take a look."
Su Qingluan noticed that the attitude of the little brother sent this time was much more polite than that of the one who was about to leave after calling him. She had some concerns in her mind and took the thing handed over by the other party to take a closer look.
To her surprise, it turned out to be a greeting card.
Naturally, as a wealthy family in the Xie family, if they want to come to such a small farmhouse like Su Qingluan's house, they don't need any invitations. In their opinion, if they could set foot in the farmhouse, it could be described as "flamboyant".
This greeting note is an unfinished greeting note. The content is Su Qingluan's sincere request to visit Xie's Mansion. Both the wording and the polite words have been written perfectly. Only the last item is left - the date is missing. fill.
Su Qingluan: ...It’s just too much to talk about.
Generally speaking, if you want others to come to your door, wouldn't you just send an "invitation post"? Or is it a very shameful thing for people in the Xie Mansion to invite themselves?
Su Qingluan felt very speechless: This is probably the so-called "pick up the bowl to eat, put down the bowl to scold the mother".
Bah, bah, bah, she secretly despised it in her heart: I don’t have such unfilial descendants, otherwise my head will be beaten into a dog’s head!
Thinking of this, Su Qingluan then thought about the white money, suppressed her disgusted expression, and said with a smile: "Hey, your house is so polite, you can come when you want, why don't you write a special greeting note?" What’s going on? We’re just a roughneck from the countryside, and we don’t pay attention to those false etiquette!”
Well, yes, she knew what the other person meant, but she also had to pretend not to understand and disgust the other person.
The boy obviously didn't expect Su Qingluan's question, and his facial expression froze for a moment, as if he was stupid.
Then he explained with a twitching corner of his mouth: "My master wrote this greeting note for Madam Su. This is not because she is worried that Madam Su is busy and has no time to write such troublesome things. But if Madam comes alone, if she doesn't pay her respects, I'm afraid Tie won't be able to get in."
Su Qingluan thought to herself that there weren't so many rules when going to Xie's Mansion before?
After thinking about it, she understood that this was probably not because Xie Zian had another seizure, but because Zhang Ma was here. Naturally, all the "inappropriate" conveniences had to be cancelled, and the rules would slowly return.
Seeing Su Qingluan staring at the greeting card without saying a word, the servant continued to explain: "My master knows that Madam Su is busy, and I don't know when you will be free, so I specially left the date blank for Madam Su to fill in. "
Su Qingluan wanted to argue, "Can I fill it out on any day?" But after all, she still wanted to do business, so she smiled and said, "I'm going to fill it out now. Can I take it back with me, little brother?"
The boy nodded: "That's right."
Su Qingluan thought for a moment, tomorrow, the tenth day of the lunar month, will be the day to teach sketching. So he filled in the date to the day after tomorrow, dried the ink and went out to return the greeting card to the boy who was still waiting outside the courtyard gate.
The boy stared at the freshly baked date and was very surprised.
On the one hand, any of the four treasures of the study in this era are considered rare "luxuries". It is really strange to see them in a farmer's home that looks tidy at best, but not very wealthy; on the other hand, this In an ordinary peasant family, there are still people who can read, and their calligraphy, iron painting, and silver hook are quite outstanding.
No matter what, it's surprising enough.
Su Qingluan didn't care about the other party's psychological activities and just handed over the greeting card: "It's so troublesome for me, little brother, to make another trip."
Because of these two words, the boy looked at Su Qingluan again, bowed and said: "No trouble, no trouble, this is a small matter."
After sending away the troublesome person, Su Qingluan opened the curtain and entered the house. She found that her parents looked over instantly, and she quickly showed a smile: "What, why are my parents looking at me like this? Could it be that my Are there any flowers on your face?"
Yang sighed: "Da Ya, your father and I know that you always have your own ideas and are much more reliable than ordinary little girls who are thirteen or fourteen years old, so we will not interfere with whatever decision you make. But... …”
Yang chose her words carefully: "Recently, there are carriages and servants... Could the person you are dealing with be from a wealthy family, and will it embarrass you?"
Su Qingluan was helpless: Sure enough, her parents were still aware of it.
She smiled and said: "Mom, please don't worry about me. It's just that some of the snacks I made have attracted the favor of some wealthy people. It's not a bad thing."
However, Yang and Su Guangfu were not elated just because their daughter's craftsmanship "won the favor of the nobles", and persuaded Su Qingluan to seize the opportunity to climb up.
Instead, Su Guangfu cautiously suggested: "Your mother and I don't have much ability, but we can still support you three children." Su Guangfu didn't mean to brag when he said this. After all, whether it was his carpentry or Yang's prostitutes, At least in these ten miles and eight villages, they are among the best.
The honest and dull man looked at his always sensible eldest daughter, with unconcealed worry in his eyes: "Your mother and I don't ask for any great wealth for our family, we just want the family to be safe. If those wealthy people make things difficult for you... …The worst case scenario is that we don’t do this business.”
Although Su Guangfu and Yang did not have much experience in dealing directly with rich and powerful people, they also understood the principles of "the seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister's door" and "the king of hell is easy to deal with, but the devil is difficult to deal with".
Sometimes, even if the owners of wealthy families are sensible, they will be a thousand times more hateful than that owner if they encounter a watchdog who tries to outdo others.
A warm current flashed through Su Qingluan's heart: She had always known that her parents in this life had always known that there was something unusual about her, but they never cared about it and never allowed herself to seek any benefits for them. They only hoped that she would be the same as others. As long as the children are happy.
As well as many of the people and residents of Huaxi Village and towns I have met since traveling, they are all very lovely people.
It is because of such sincere treatment that Su Qingluan wants to use her own strength to do something for these lovely people before another winter comes that may freeze her bones to death.
So Su Qingluan only held the wrists of Dad and Aniang, and said with a smile: "You two, please stop thinking here. It's just business and eating, so I will naturally be careful."
As he said that, he shook my father and mother's arms coquettishly. .
Sure enough, the middle-aged couple opposite showed a somewhat helpless expression on their faces.
In the end, Yang only repeatedly asked "be careful in everything" and made Su Qingluan agree before she was "let go" of her.
However, although Yang and Su Guangfu were a little uneasy about the repeated visits from the Xie family, Su Qingluan himself was still very optimistic.
Of course, she is not a blindly optimistic idiot. The biggest reason why her mentality is relatively stable is that the Xie family - but it is most likely Zhang Ma and the old lady of the Xie family she represents - has a very obvious change in their attitude towards her. .
The last few times Su Qingluan went to see Xie Zian or Zhang Ma, no matter what her situation was, she was carried away without explanation.
And this was the only time that the other party was "soliciting her opinion" - even though the form had to be changed to "please give me a call", it was still too much to say.
This change is probably related to the recipe for making jam in Su Qingluan's hand. Recalling what she had said to Liu Yue before, Su Qingluan had some guesses as to why Xie Mansion's attitude towards her had changed so obviously.
It seemed that what she said to Liuyue that day obviously had an effect - or rather, it went too far.
"But to what extent, we still have to meet in person to know." After muttering like this, Su Qingluan made up his mind.
