Soon, it was time for the agreed-upon evening.
Jiang Mu changed into a more formal outfit, looked at himself in the mirror, and gently exhaled.
"Just to give Qin some face, you should still act as normal as possible..."
Jiang Mu still remembers the instructions his cheap father gave him.
"Xiao Mu, you must remember that when others give you face, it's because they value you. Don't act recklessly just because others respect you."
Don't take the face others give you for granted lightly.
"Being careless about details and being impolite are two different things, and they are very different."
"You must remember this."
………………
"Have you changed your clothes?"
Suddenly, Xiao Hei's voice came from behind.
"It's changed." Jiang Mu nodded, turned around, and then paused slightly.
"you……"
"What, are you stunned?"
As he spoke, Xiao Hei pushed Xi'er, who was covering her face, in front of Jiang Mu.
"Seele, didn't you say you wanted to wear this outfit for your captain brother to see? What, are you shy?"
As he spoke, Xiao Hei looked at Jiang Mu and chuckled.
"Well, Captain, are you stunned?"
"Good job!"
Wiping away non-existent nosebleed, Jiang Mu gave a thumbs up.
At this moment, Xi'er and Xiao Hei were wearing the same outfit that Jiang Mu had given them... Ink-dyed Mirror Splendor...
Wearing a blue and white porcelain-style cheongsam, Seele appeared extremely delicate, but it also better highlighted her pure and innocent temperament, like a girl next door.
Meanwhile, Xiao Hei wore another cheongsam with a red base, which, combined with her bewitching red eyes...
"How is it, Captain?"
Seeing that Jiang Mu was looking at him, Xiao Hei's eyes darted around, and he came to Jiang Mu's side, gently placing one hand on the latter's chest and caressing it lightly, revealing an expression like a little devil.
"Since we still have enough time, how about... we, the two sisters, do something fun together...?"
"Don't worry...you don't need to take responsibility...just let us...be happy..."
"..."
Jiang Mu didn't answer, but simply raised his trembling hand and slowly stroked Xiao Hei's cheek, then slowly removed it...
"!"
Feeling Jiang Mu's movements, Xiao Hei was slightly startled, but then slowly closed its eyes and pouted its little lips, adopting a submissive posture...
"Small in stature but big in mind..."
Jiang Mu helplessly patted Xiao Hei's head and said.
"Don't make jokes like that again..."
"I knew it..."
Seeing this, Xiao Hei pouted in dissatisfaction and lightly punched Jiang Mu's chest.
"Idiot..."
"Cough cough cough..."
Jiang Mu coughed a few times and gave a slight, bitter smile.
He wasn't stupid; he could see the affection Xiao Hei and Xi'er had for him, but...
He was really in a difficult position regarding these two girls who were like his younger sisters...
Just like that saying goes, I treated you like a younger sister, and you actually wanted to...
Cough cough...
………………
"Then let's set off."
After preparing some necessary gifts, Jiang Mu and his companions hailed a carriage and headed to the Gunnhild family's residence.
Why not go on foot?
Just kidding, why would you show your own sister to others?
(￣^￣) Hmph!
………………
Upon arriving at the Gunnhild family's residence, Jiang Mu was still surprised by the luxuriousness of the villa, even though he had expected it.
As we all know, the real Mondstadt city is far more vast than the tiny plot of land in the game, and this Gunnhildr family manor, judging from the appearance, is about half the size of Mondstadt.
This shows just how wealthy the Gunnhild family is.
However, this is not entirely incomprehensible.
As a long-established Mondstadt noble family, they wouldn't have reached this point without a solid foundation.
………………
As soon as Seele and Blackie stepped off the carriage, they were greeted by the stares of a crowd.
It's important to know that on the continent of Teyvat, only the kingdom of Liyue possesses this style of clothing, and in Mondstadt, very few people wear such attire...
However, although very few people wear this style of clothing, it does not prevent this group of people from appreciating the beauty of this style.
"hehe……"
Jiang Mu glanced around at the people. Looking was fine, but if any fools dared to come up and do something...
Jiang Mu didn't mind, and talked to it about life and ideals...
"Dear guest, hello."
Soon, a waiter who was specifically responsible for receiving them came to the three of them and said respectfully.
"Excuse me, could you please show me your invitation? I need to ask you about your seating arrangements based on the invitation."
"So there's another way to say it..."
With this thought in mind, Jiang Mu nodded slightly, took out the invitation card from the zither, and handed it to the waiter.
"Thank you for your help."
"You're too kind."
The waiter took the invitation, glanced at it briefly, nodded, and handed it back to Jiang Mu.
"Alright, esteemed guest, this way please."
With that, the waiter led Jiang Mu and the other two into the manor.
Upon entering the manor, the area suddenly opened up before them.
In the once spacious courtyard, dozens of tables were scattered about. A group of elegantly dressed people, each holding a wine glass, moved among the crowd. They would stop to chat with a few familiar faces, exchange a few words, give a polite smile, and then move on to their next target...
Yes, they're from the old high society.
The arrival of Jiang Mu and his group caused a slight pause among the people near the door. Several of the younger men swallowed hard when they saw Xi'er and Xiao Hei, but upon seeing Jiang Mu beside them, they pursed their lips, though they still raised their wine glasses and gave a slight nod to the three of them.
Seeing this, Jiang Mu nodded slightly and said to the waiter.
"Excuse me, where are we located...?"
"Please come with me."
The waiter smiled slightly, bowed slightly, and led the three of them forward.
As he walked, the waiter spoke softly.
"Actually, guests are free to move around in this venue without being restricted by these so-called seating arrangements."
"Then you..."
"This is the order from Lady Frederica Gunnhild, the head of the family."
The waiter whispered.
"Guests who are assigned to the front seats are usually distinguished guests of the Gunnhild family. Or they are close friends of one of the young masters or ladies."
"By the way, the allocation of positions was personally handled by the head of the family."
"Understood." Jiang Mu nodded and quietly slipped a small bag of Mora to him.
"What is this...?"
The man was somewhat puzzled.
"Thank you for telling me all this." Jiang Mu nodded slightly.
"this……"
The man glanced around discreetly, then quietly pocketed the bag of Mora.
Then, the two of them smiled knowingly at each other.
