Although Su Qingluan found the most comfortable position, she still felt as if her whole body was about to fall apart when she arrived at Xie's house.
Fortunately, she has taken time to exercise every day since she traveled through time - even when she was most tired, she would do simple stretching or plank exercises in her room to build strength and coordination.
In addition, he had experienced the short-distance version of "travel by boat and carriage" several times before, so he was mentally prepared for the bumpy ride of the carriage. So, after tidying up his appearance a little, he followed the servant into Xie's mansion.
In fact, Su Qingluan could sense that Xie Zian was a playboy who didn't pay much attention to etiquette. For example, he never cared about which door people of different identities should enter through. Basically, he would let people enter through whichever door his position was closest to.
Therefore, Su Qingluan had entered through the main door, the side door, and even the back door.
But this time it was obviously different. Su Qingluan felt that she had only to enter the door, so she had to wait until the doorman informed her. He then asked her to go around to the side door and wait, and only let her in after a while.
Moreover, the expressions of the doorman and the servant also made Su Qingluan feel that they were a little different from before.
Su Qingluan had seen servants from Xie Zian's mansion buying offal soup more than once before, and some even brought a "takeout" for the old housekeeper. This also showed that Xie Zian's master was a bit careless, and the servants' interactions were relatively casual.
Even the doormen, because they often saw Su Qingluan and often went to buy soup, although they were not very close to her, they would at least smile and say hello when they met.
This time, they seemed to have had their souls replaced. They restrained their smiles, lowered their eyes, and spoke and acted cautiously, as if they were afraid that saying one more word would bring disaster, as if their souls had been taken away and they had become puppets.
This made Su Qingluan break out in a cold sweat.
She squeezed my fist hard, letting the hard nails dig into her palm.
The sharp pain sobered her up and calmed her down: It didn't matter, since her "work" was recognized by the other party, the initiative was in her hands.
After following the servant through the flowers and willows, Su Qingluan had put on her professional smile the way she used to face difficult customers as a WeChat customer service representative after she fell ill in her previous life. At the same time, her waist became straighter.
Then, Su Qingluan saw Xie Zian in the waterside pavilion where Xie Zian often spent his leisurely days.
Today he is wearing a red sandalwood-colored cross-collared straight-hem dress.
Even with his annoying personality, Xie Zian's fair and tender face was still attractive. Although this little dandy was only eleven or twelve years old, with a bit of baby fat and not much of a handsome man's aura, his fair skin and bold features still made the originally somewhat old-fashioned red sandalwood color look more noble.
The reason why I say "three points" is because although Xie Zian tried his best to restrain his nonchalant appearance, as the saying goes, "it's hard to change one's nature", no matter how hard he tried to restrain himself, the temperament in his bones could not be concealed.
Speaking of true nobility... Su Qingluan's mind flashed with the figure of Mu Xingzhi, and then she regained her consciousness and saw a particularly different person present today - a woman with a meticulously tied bun. Although she had a dignified appearance, she did not look kind at all.
The woman's hair was already gray, and she looked to be in her forties or fifties. Although she stood beside Xie Zian like many other servants, it was obvious that she had a very special status - even higher than the old butler.
The woman's clothing was quite plain, but when the sunlight shone on the dark green, almost black fabric, emerald green longevity patterns appeared. This made Su Qingluan understand that although the woman's outfit looked low-key, the design of the flowing dark patterns must have been made of fabric worth thousands of dollars.
Moreover, whenever Xie Zian wanted to make some indecent habitual movements like shaking his legs or leaning his body, the woman would just glance at him indifferently and without even saying anything, Xie Zian would sit up straight obediently - although it wouldn't be long before he couldn't help but revert to his old ways, but he never said anything.
To be precise, I dare not say anything.
This was completely beyond Su Qingluan's expectations - after all, as far as she knew, Xie Zian was not so respectful to the old butler!
Three or four guesses about the woman's identity flashed through Su Qingluan's mind. She remained calm and saluted Xie Zian.
Xie Zian didn't care about etiquette, and Su Qingluan disliked the era's frequent kneeling etiquette. So, on ordinary days, Su Qingluan only performed the blessing ceremony. After all, Xie Zian and Su Qingluan were of the same age, and Xie Zian didn't hold a title, so there was nothing wrong with performing the same-generation ceremony.
What's more, because there was a stranger present today - and it was very likely that the real representative of Party A - Su Qingluan's salute posture was even more cautious and dignified than usual!
As a result, when Su Qingluan stood up, she still saw a look of obvious disgust on the face of the strange middle-aged woman.
However, due to the angle, Xie Zian did not notice it - or even if he noticed it, he did not care.
"Auntie Zhang, this is the creator of 'Four Seasons', Madam Su Qingluan." Xie Zian casually pointed at Su Qingluan and looked at the middle-aged woman with a serious expression next to him.
Although the other party seemed to dislike her, Su Qingluan thought that Party A was the most important, so she took the initiative to step forward and bowed to the elders: "Su Qingluan greets Aunt Zhang."
This etiquette for respecting elders requires kneeling. Su Qingluan knelt for a long time but the other party did not let her stand up. Su Qingluan thought that she should not have offended the other party, so she simply stood up herself.
