Su Xuanhe looked at Su Qingluan and nodded immediately: "Sister, you go and do your work. I'll take my sister out to play."

Su Qingluan looked at her younger brother: Sure enough, after just a short time in school, this little guy is becoming more and more like an "older brother".

Su Qingluan touched her brother's head, turned back to her room and closed the door, took a deep breath, and picked up the unopened envelope on the bedside table.

To put it nicely, it was an "invitation", but to put it bluntly, it was a "notification", asking Su Qingluan to go to Xie's house tomorrow. Although the words were polite, they were very impolite.

Naturally, there was no need for a wealthy man to be polite to a little peasant girl like Su Qingluan, and Su Qingluan didn't take it to heart.

Fortunately, the Xie family did not go so far as to ask Su Qingluan to walk to the Xie Mansion, and said that a carriage would come to pick up Su Qingluan at noon.

Although there was a special car to pick her up, Su Qingluan didn't feel happy at all - on such a good morning, who could be happy to face a group of people with eyes on their foreheads and looking at people through their nostrils?

However, Su Qingluan changed her mind and thought again: Since the Xie family was able to send her an "invitation" and specifically stated that a car would come to pick her up tomorrow, doesn't that indirectly mean that the "Four Seasons" series of jams are loved by the nobles?

Thinking of this, she no longer felt tired and stopped shaking her head and sighing.

What's with looking down on others? That's called noble and cold! Su Qingluan decided to tear her own moral integrity into pieces, chew it up and eat it, and bow to the power of money - just kidding, the world is big, but the client's dad is the biggest!

Especially since this might be one of the main sources of big clients in the future! Su Qingluan instantly swept away her previous sleepiness and became energetic.

The next day, Su Qingluan put on the dress she had prepared the day before, the one she had worn only once on Qixi Festival. However, since the weather had cooled down, Yang had put on a cloak for Su Qingluan.

Su Qingluan had never put makeup on her face since she traveled through time. Although she had done it for Tian Xing'er and the others a few times and received unanimous praise, Su Qingluan always felt that since she was only thirteen years old in this body—or in terms of age—it was best not to use those messy cosmetics on her face.

What's more, cosmetics in that era had no production standards or batch numbers, so it was normal to put lead powder, cinnabar and other strange things in them.

The irony is that both lead powder and cinnabar are expensive minerals, so they are only used in "high-end cosmetics".

Ordinary people like Su Qingluan can only afford "pure natural cosmetics" such as "rice powder".

However, today, Su Qingluan used an ink stick to draw eyeliner and trim her eyebrows, making her eyes sharper and more imposing. She also used lip balm made from flower juice and ointment to apply lip makeup to herself, making herself look more energetic.

In fact, this almost nude look is not exaggerated, but with just a few simple strokes, Su Qingluan's originally pure and lovely look has been transformed into a more mature, intelligent and imposing look.

When Su Qingluan went out, Yang, Su Guangfu and his younger brother Su Xuanhe had already left, leaving only his younger sister Su Xueyan. Su Qingluan took her to the Li family across the street and told the coachman to be back soon.

Sun Guixiang had originally happily invited Su Xueyan into the house to eat fruit, but when she looked up and saw Su Qingluan, she was startled and then sighed, "Sister, you look even more beautiful today, and... different from usual."

Su Qingluan smiled: "I'm going out for a while."

Sun Guixiang was curious: "Are you going to meet the man?"

Su Qingluan shook her head: "I'm going to make money."

After that, she didn't explain anything further and turned to walk towards the carriage parked at her door.

Although she had been to Xie Zian's house many times, based on the wording in the "invitation letter", Su Qingluan intuitively felt that the person she would need to face this time might not be the somewhat moody young master, but someone else.

Considering that there would be another tough battle later, Su Qingluan found a relatively comfortable position to lean back, intending to take a nap to recharge her energy - after all, it would take nearly an hour to get from the Su family to the Xie Mansion at the current speed of the carriage.

If you sit upright for such a long time, it will definitely be hard on your bones and joints.

After an unknown amount of time, Su Qingluan heard someone outside say softly, "Madam Su, we're here."

Su Qingluan took a deep breath and lifted the car curtain.
