It's no wonder that Su Qingluan now has this kind of stressful mentality towards everyone who comes to Xie's house, even the servants. After dealing with them several times, Su Qingluan fully understands what "capricious" means and what "crushing you is like crushing an ant" means.
Of course, Su Qingluan is not a softie who is easy to mess with. If she is really pushed into a corner, she will immediately let the other party know what it means to "those with bare feet are not afraid of those with shoes."
However, Su Qingluan didn't want to go crazy unless she had to, so considering the fruit jam incident, the Xie Mansion was like a particularly troublesome Party A that could not be offended and could only be kept at a distance.
But behind his back, Su Qingluan couldn't help but complain about him.
After all, if you can't beat him, can't you just curse him?
While wondering what trouble those people from the Xie Mansion were going to make this time, Su Qingluan put on a very warm smile.
Yang and Su Guangfu had just learned from Su Qingluan that this was a servant from the Xie Mansion, so they did not go with Su Qingluan to greet him. Instead, they went around to the Li family next door, picked up Su Xueyan, and went straight into the house with Su Xuanhe.
Su Qingluan had no intention of involving her 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 same farming family, so the two of them ignored the rest of the Su family.
The boy had also bought offal soup from the Su family several times, so Su Qingluan was already familiar with him. So she took the initiative to greet him, "This little brother hasn't come to buy offal soup in the past two days!"
Her smile was polite but also warm. In addition, although Su Qingluan had a pretty face, she was not very old, and her hair was not fully grown yet, with a bit of baby fat, so she looked particularly friendly.
Then the servant also smiled a little: "The weather is getting colder, and the scenery in the mansion and the clothes of our servants need to be changed. It's been a bit busy recently."
Su Qingluan took a closer look and found that although the boy was still wearing a light grey short coat on the outside, it could be seen that the inner garment had an extra layer, making it look thicker.
Su Qingluan nodded: "I wonder what brings you here today, little brother?"
Upon hearing this, the servant pulled out something that looked like an envelope from his pocket and handed it to her respectfully: "Madam Su, please take a look."
Su Qingluan noticed that the young man sent this time was much more polite than the one who had called her out before. She had a plan in mind and took the item handed to her and looked at it carefully.
To her surprise, it was a visiting card.
Naturally, as a prominent family, the Xie family didn't need a visiting card to visit Su Qingluan's small farmhouse. In their opinion, the fact that they were allowed to set foot in this farmhouse was truly a place of honor.
This visiting card was an unfinished one. The content was Su Qingluan's request to visit the Xie Mansion. Both the wording and the polite words had already been written perfectly. Only the last item - the date - was left unfilled.
Su Qingluan: ...There are simply too many complaints to say.
If you want someone to come to your house, don't you usually send an "invitation"? Or is it considered a shame for the people in the Xie Mansion to invite you?
Su Qingluan felt speechless: This was probably what is called "picking up the bowl to eat, putting it down to curse."
Bah, bah, bah, she secretly cursed in her heart: I don’t have such an unfilial descendant, otherwise I would beat his head into a dog’s head!
Thinking of this, Su Qingluan thought about the white silver again, suppressed her disgusted expression, and said with a smile: "Oh, your family is so polite, just come if you want to, why bother writing a special visiting card? I'm just a country bumpkin, I don't care about those empty formalities!"
Well, that’s right, she knew what the other person meant, but she also pretended not to understand to disgust the other person.
The servant obviously did not expect Su Qingluan to ask this, and his facial expression froze for a moment, as if he was dumbfounded.
Then, with a twitch of his lips, he explained, "This visiting card was written by my master on behalf of Madam Su. It's not because Madam Su is too busy to write such a troublesome thing. But if you came alone, I'm afraid you wouldn't be allowed in without a visiting card."
Su Qingluan thought to herself that there weren't so many rules when she went to Xie's house before?
On second thought, she understood that this was probably not Xie Zian acting crazy again, but that Zhang Ma had come. Naturally, all the "inappropriate" conveniences had to be cancelled, and the rules had to be slowly restored.
Seeing Su Qingluan staring at the visiting card in silence, the servant went on to explain, "My master knows that Madam Su is very busy and doesn't know when you will be free, so he has left the date blank for you to fill in."
Su Qingluan wanted to argue, "Can I fill in any day?" But she still had to do business, so she smiled and said, "Fill it out now, little brother, can you take it back now?"
The servant nodded: "That's right."
Su Qingluan thought for a moment and decided that tomorrow, the tenth day of the lunar month, was the day for sketching lessons. So she changed the date to the day after tomorrow, dried the ink, left the room, and returned the visiting card to the servant still waiting outside the courtyard gate.
The boy stared at the freshly-released date in surprise.
On the one hand, in this era, any one of the four treasures of the study was considered a rare "luxury", and it was really rare to see them in a farmer's house that looked at most tidy but not very wealthy; on the other hand, in such an ordinary farmer's family, there were actually people who could read and write, and their calligraphy was excellent.
Either way, it's surprising enough.
