In the end, Su Qingluan didn't have time to treat Mu Xingzhi and Liu Yuniang to a thank-you banquet that she thought was "lavish" - because the day after Su Qingluan's whole family went to congratulate the Liu family on their move, Su Qingluan received a thank-you banquet. invitation.
True, invitation - Su Qingluan looked at the greeting card handed over by the stable boy respectfully. Her name was clearly written on it, and she couldn't help but sigh: "This can be regarded as my official entry into the wealthy family." Although it does not mean the same thing as "walking into the house" in the traditional sense.
After all, although Xie Zian asked Su Qingluan to make a dessert before or Zhang Ma summoned Su Qingluan to discuss things related to jam, they were all driven away by a carriage without any prior notice.
Although on the surface Xie Zian, an informal person like Xie Zian, would not be too harsh on etiquette, in the final analysis, Su Qingluan is just a "service worker" who comes to the door, and basically has nothing to do with the servants who have signed a living contract to work part-time. Big difference.
What's more, they didn't even prepare a carriage, leaving Su Qingluan to stand on his own feet to pay his respects.
However, this time was different. The greeting card was sent one day in advance, and there was a little girl in the carriage behind the carriage boy - although Su Qingluan was a little regretful that she was not the one who had a very good chat with her before - This little girl also respectfully presented a brocade-wrapped box with both hands. She didn't know what was inside.
Su Qingluan raised an eyebrow, glanced at the box curiously, and took it with both hands, but without showing any obvious expression, he just asked: "What is this?"
The box was a bit heavy in her hand, but when she shook it slightly, she didn't feel anything moving back and forth inside. It seems that at least it is not a hard object.
However, the little girl didn't seem to know the contents of the box. She just bowed her head respectfully and bowed to Su Qingluan along with the driver.
Fortunately, they only performed the most common blessing ceremony and bow ceremony, not too exaggerated forms, otherwise Su Qingluan would definitely feel uncomfortable.
After the two of them walked away, Su Qingluan turned around and walked towards home. At this time, Su Qingluan felt that the other party must have made the calculation accurately - because this was not long after their family went out to sell a stall.
Su Qingluan even thought that someone had waited until their sewer stall was almost sold out, and then someone secretly notified the Xie Mansion to send someone to deliver the invitation to Su Qingluan.
Although Ms. Yang is an ordinary peasant woman, she is not the kind of person who doesn't know what is right and what is right. So when she saw the person in the carriage asking for "Mrs. Su", she knew that this person must be here for her eldest daughter. of.
When a stranger suddenly appeared at the door of his house, riding in a rare carriage, not to mention Su Xuanhe, even Su Xuanhe poked his head out curiously.
However, Yang kept the two children indoors during the entire process when Su Qingluan went out, and strictly required them not to make any noise, make a fuss, or poke their heads in to ask questions. They were not allowed to wait until the people outside left. Let’s talk later.
So as soon as Su Qingluan turned around and entered the house, two little guys surrounded her. They looked at the obviously high-quality box in her hand and asked questions:
"Sister, sister, what's in this box? Is it food? Is there Sanya's share?" She was thinking about food, and this time she heard that it was little girl Su Xueyan.
"Hmph, what can't our sister do if she wants something to eat? It doesn't look like food to me - sister, what is this?" Su Xuanhe retorted to his sister like a grown-up, and turned around and couldn't help but look at Su Qingluan.
To put it bluntly, he is also curious, but compared to the little girl Su Xueyan, Su Xuanhe has gradually gained the "baggage" of a scholar. He just glances here and there, but it is not that obvious - although Su Qingluan is included It was still very exposed to the other three adults inside.
Su Qingluan placed the box on the table in the main room and handed the invitation to Yang and Su Guangfu to see.
Yang looked at the golden paper, subconsciously wiped her hands that were wet from preparing dinner with her apron, took it and unfolded it carefully, and she and Su Guangfu put their heads together and started reading.
Su Xueyan was really curious about what was on the paper and stretched out her little hand to pull it away. Fortunately, Su Xuanhe had quick eyes and quick hands. He rushed over with one lunge and passed the little girl through his hands under the creaking nests on both sides like a small animal, and the whole thing slipped away. .
While lifting the slip, he lowered his head and muttered: "You dare to pull anything, is that what you can pull? If it gets damaged, I won't be able to afford the compensation if I sell it to you!"
The little girl felt a little aggrieved: "I will not be sold!"
Su Qingluan looked at her sister with a smile: "Your brother is right, if this piece of paper is damaged, it will cause a lot of trouble." When I visit Xie's house tomorrow, I will show this "invitation" .
Although Su Qingluan felt that since the other party really wanted to do business with him, to put it bluntly, the two parties were partners. In business, things like damage to invitations will certainly not affect subsequent cooperation, but this also reflects from the side that at least you did not keep the invitations properly.
Su Qingluan was not sure whether anyone would have a psychological grudge because of this detail, but in her opinion, it was better to avoid these points-detracting details.
After all, the little girl is not a naughty child. When she saw that she had done something wrong, although she felt a little wronged, she still apologized honestly. And Su Qingluan would not really care about her sister, and touched her little head to express that it was okay.
At this time, Su Guangfu and Yang had already read the invitations. Yang looked at Su Qingluan's clothes with some worry: "If I had known I would make you autumn and winter clothes that day, I would have chosen some fresh fabrics."
The whole Su family went to a tailor shop to order autumn and winter clothes a few months ago.
If it were in the past, this kind of thing would always fall on Yang - after all, a set of ready-made clothes can easily cost a few taels of silver. If it is a little more particular about quality and style, it is possible to double the price several times.
In comparison, it is naturally much more cost-effective to rip cloth, buy cotton, and make clothes yourself.
However, no matter before or now, Mrs. Yang was busy running around to support her family during the day. If she wanted to sew clothes, she could only finish cooking dinner and work on it under the candlelight before going to bed - what Su Qingluan had just seen after traveling through time. This is how Yang mended clothes for his family.
However, the work of female beauties is inherently delicate work. Even when the sky is bright, it is a waste of eyesight, let alone in the dim and flickering candlelight?
Therefore, Ms. Yang often feels dizzy while doing manual work, and bowing her head for a long time also causes her backache.
However, now that the Su family is richer, they can also go to a tailor shop to pull fabrics and make clothes directly.
Having said that, Su Qingluan and Yang still need to be busy before and after running as a whole, so the fabrics they choose are all stain-resistant colors such as cyan and gray.
Although this kind of fabric is cheaper and easier to clean, it may not be appropriate if you want to go to a wealthy family like Xie Mansion.
