Xie Zi'an still looked like a cowhide coaxing, and snorted coldly: "When you arrive, you know, what are you doing so much?" β
Su Qingluan shrugged and was noncommittal.
In fact, when she asked the servants to deliver the letter, except for the villagers of Huaxi Village, she asked him to tell his father and mother that he might be late today, and at the same time, it was also a disguised way to let them know where they were.
Although Xie Zhonger on the other side has a frank face, who knows what strange ways these rich and noble people have to embarrass people?
At this time, Su Qingluan noticed that the servant led a horse on the side of the road, and Xie Zi'an probably couldn't step on the horse because he was still small, so a servant knelt on the ground to act as a step for him, and Xie Zi'an stepped on the man's back and got on the horse.
Xie Zi'an couldn't see it, but Su Qingluan stood aside but could see that the servant with his head down was trampled on and grinned, obviously a little uncomfortable.
However, his body did not move, as if it was a normal thing.
Su Qingluan knew that for these rich and noble people, this level of "calling slaves and maids" was a normal thing, but she still frowned secretly.
Of course, she's not stupid enough to go straight up to the stupid lack of lines like "how do you bully people" - this kind of useless pity and self-righteous sense of justice does nothing good except to cause trouble for others.
Still, she felt uncomfortable.
Suppressing the strangeness in his heart, Su Qingluan asked, "Xie Xiaolangjun, what should I do if you ride a horse?" β
Xie Zi'an glanced at Su Qingluan strangely: "Of course you are following, do you still want to come up and ride with me?!" As he spoke, he showed a wary look, as if Su Qingluan was a woman with ulterior motives.
Su Qingluan: ......
The white eyes in her heart almost rolled to the sky.
Taking a deep breath, Su Qingluan restrained his strong desire to complain and reminded: "Xie Xiaolangjun, I don't think I can outrun your good horse with a pair of legs." β
Xie Zi'an looked surprised: "My servants can keep up, why can't you?" β
Because you are a second force-Su Qingluan complained loudly in her heart.
However, she coaxed, and she even maintained a smiling expression on the surface: "Xiaolangjun's family is naturally good, how can I, a flat-headed person, compare?" Besides......" Su Qingluan thought for a while, "Aren't you going to cook later?" If the physical exertion is too much, I am afraid that the performance will be abnormal for a while. β
"Tsk, that's troublesome." Xie Zi'an pursed his lips in disgust, "Got it, just go slower." β
Even if she "walked a little slower" as promised, by the time Su Qingluan arrived at the door of a mansion that looked very luxurious, it was already about an hour later, and she was already trembling a little, and her feet were hurting.
At this time, Xie Zi'an returned the horse and said: "Eh, it's good to hire a sedan chair for you." β
Su Qingluan: ...... Is this the kind of thing you thought of in the first place?
She was careless, she had no idea that the journey would take so long!
However, after thinking about the shop, I said bear with it, for the sake of silver! It's just a little more running, and she can!
Although Su Qingluan is a flat-headed ordinary person, after all, Xie Zi'an was "invited" to do things, and he can be regarded as half a guest, so there is still no shortage of tea at the beginning.
Unlike the previous courtyard where Old Man Xu's house only had three entrances, this one Su Qingluan glanced at it, at least it should be four or even five courtyards.
Moreover, even the rough users who sweep the courtyard on the outside of this courtyard are much neater and more beautiful than many ordinary people. Whether it is the style of the clothes or the pattern of the cuff collar, it is even comparable to the wearing of some rich people.
Su Qingluan secretly said to himself: No wonder some people are reluctant to leave even if they are slaves and maids in big families, and they are called and drunk like this, it really makes sense.
After drinking tea and resting for a while, Su Qingluan asked, "May I ask what that 'rare ingredient' is?" β
Xie Zi'an sat on the carved mahogany chair, clapped his hands and called the housekeeper, and pointed at Su Qingluan: "Take her to see the living thing she brought today!" β
The housekeeper was an old man with gray hair, although he looked at Xie Zi'an with a kind old man's expression, but when he looked up at Su Qingluan, he had a straight face, and he glanced Su Qingluan up and down with some suspicion.
Immediately, he attached himself to Xie Zi'an's ear and asked: "This Xiao Langjun is so young, he looks like he is only twelve or thirteen years old, is it a little ...... for you to give such precious ingredients to such a person rashly Defective ......"
Although it was a "whisper", it was obvious that the old housekeeper did not intend to carry Su Qingluan behind his back - it was better to say that he had some words just to knock her.
Su Qingluan was calm when she heard thisβafter all, no one knew that inside this little girl's shell was the soul of another world, right? And none of these people have really seen her cooking, so it's normal to be suspicious.
Sure enough, Xie Zi'an showed a thoughtful expression, and after a while, he nodded: "What the housekeeper said makes sense, then let's try this girl's cooking skills with other dishes first......"
"Girl?" The old butler caught the keyword.
"That's right!" Xie Zi'an pointed at Su Qingluan as a matter of course, "She's a woman." β
Su Qingluan thought that the old housekeeper was going to jump up and be possessed by the old scholar of the Taoist priest in the next moment, and come to the question "How can a woman show her head in men's clothes and not be a proper balabala", but he just glanced at her up and down at a slower speed, and then nodded: "So, bother this little lady." β
Su Qingluan didn't know if it was her delusion, and she even felt that the housekeeper's attitude towards her was a little kinder than the initial wariness.
However, she didn't have much to pay attention to what these people were thinking, and what Su Qingluan was most worried about was to complete the task and get benefits.
So she began to bargain: "I said Xie Xiaogongzi, just now you just said that I should cook a precious ingredient, that is, I only need to make one dish, and I didn't say that I had to try my cooking skills before?" β
Xie Zi'an raised his eyebrows: "Isn't it that you are just famous, and you actually have no ability, so you are afraid?" β
Su Qingluan shook her head: "No, I can show your hand to let you have an idea of my level, but ......" She squinted her eyes and smiled, revealing a mouthful of small white teeth, "Every time you have an extra dish, it's another price." β
When Xie Zi'an heard this, he was stunned at first, and then sneered: "Yo, put the money on the table first?" Yes! I promise you, if this 'trial dish' is done well, I will reward you with ten taels of gold! β
Ten taels! And it's not silver, it's gold!!
Su Qingluan's entire eyes shone with a different kind of brilliance: ten taels of gold is one hundred taels of silver!
Oh, my God! can be worth your dividends in the "Hongfu Building" for two or three months - if it is the off-season, I am afraid this time will be longer!
So Su Qingluan immediately made a blessing: "I am willing to serve Xie Xiaolangjun!" But ......"
"But what?" Xie Zi'an asked.
