In the end, Su Qingluan didn't have time to invite Mu Xingzhi and Liu Yunniang to a table of thank-you banquet that he thought was "sumptuous" - because the day after Su Qingluan's whole family went to congratulate the Liu family's housewarming, Su Qingluan received an invitation from Xie Fu.
Really, invited-Su Qingluan looked at the greeting post that the little brother handed over respectfully, with his name clearly written on it, and couldn't help but sigh: "I'm also in a wealthy family, and everyone has officially entered the house." Although it is not the same as the traditional sense of "entering the house".
After all, although Xie Zi'an asked Su Qingluan to make a dessert before, or before Mama Zhang summoned Su Qingluan to discuss things related to jam, they all came to a carriage and pulled people away, without prior notice at all.
Although on the surface, people like Xie Zi'an will not be too strict in terms of etiquette, but in the final analysis, Su Qingluan is just a "service staff" who comes to the door, and there is basically no much difference from those who have signed a living contract and work part-time.
What's more, there was not even a carriage prepared, so Su Qingluan went to see him on two legs.
However, this time is different, this greeting post was sent a day in advance, and there was a little girl in the carriage behind the carriage brother - although Su Qingluan was a little regretful that it was not the one who had a very speculative conversation with her before - this little girl also respectfully presented a brocade box with both hands, and I don't know what it was.
Su Qingluan raised her eyebrows, glanced at the box with some curiosity, and took it with both hands, but she didn't show any obvious look, and only asked, "What is this?" ”
The box was a little heavy in her hand, but when she shook it a little invisibly, she didn't feel anything moving back and forth inside. At least it doesn't look like a hard object.
However, the little girl didn't seem to know the contents of the box, so she just bowed her head respectfully and shook her head, and saluted Su Qingluan with the coachman's little brother.
Fortunately, they only practiced the most common blessings and rituals, not in a too exaggerated form, otherwise Su Qingluan would definitely be uncomfortable.
After the two walked away, Su Qingluan turned around and walked towards the house. At this time, Su Qingluan felt that the other party must have calculated accurately - because this was not long after their family went out of the stall and just came back.
Even Su Qingluan felt that someone had waited until their family's sewer stall was almost sold out, so someone secretly informed Xie Fu to send someone to deliver an invitation to Su Qingluan.
Although the Yang family is an ordinary peasant woman, she is not the kind of person who does not know the depth and proportion, so as soon as she saw the person in the carriage saying that she was looking for "Su Niangzi", she knew that this person must have come for her eldest daughter.
A stranger appeared at the door of the house at first glance, and there was a rare carriage, not to mention Su Xueyan, even Su Xuanhe was very curious to probe his brain.
But during the whole process when Su Qingluan went out, the Yang family let the two children indoors, and strictly required them not to make noise, not to make a lot of noise, not to probe their brains and ask questions, everything will wait until the people outside are gone.
So as soon as Su Qingluan turned around at this time and entered the house, the two little guys surrounded her, looked at the obviously high-quality box in her hand and asked long and short questions:
"Sister, sister, what's in this box? Is it eaten? Do you have a share of Sanya? "My heart and mind are all about eating, and this is Su Xueyan's little girl.
"Hmph, what can't our sister do if you want to eat? I don't think it's food - sister, what is this? Su Xuanhe retorted to his sister like a little adult, and when he turned around, he couldn't help but look at Su Qingluan.
To put it bluntly, he was also curious, but compared to Su Xueyan, a little girl, the current Su Xuanhe has gradually had the "baggage" of a scholar, but his eyes glanced over here, but it was not so obvious - although it was still very exposed in the other three adults, including Su Qingluan.
Su Qingluan put the box on the table in the hall and handed the invitation to Yang and Su Guangfu to see.
Yang Shi looked at the gold-sprinkled paper, subconsciously wiped his wet hands with his apron because he was preparing dinner, took it and carefully unfolded it, and looked at it with Su Guangfu.
Su Xueyan was really curious about what was on the paper, and stretched out her little hand to pull it, but fortunately, Su Xuanhe's eyes were quick, and she rushed over with an arrow step and passed the little girl through her hands from under the squeaky nest on both sides as if she were carrying a small animal, and the whole thing slipped away.
While lifting it, he lowered his head and muttered: "You dare to pull anything, is that what you can pull?" If it breaks it, I can't afford to sell you! ”
The little girl was a little aggrieved: "I won't be sold!" ”
Su Qingluan looked at her sister with a smile: "Your brother is right, if this piece of paper is damaged, it will cause a lot of trouble." "When I go to visit Xie Mansion tomorrow, I will show this "invitation post".
Although Su Qingluan felt that since the other party really wanted to do business with him, to put it bluntly, the two parties were partners. In business, I will definitely not affect the follow-up cooperation for the sake of the invitation post being damaged, but this can also reflect from the side that at least I did not keep the invitation post properly.
Su Qingluan wasn't sure if anyone would have a psychological problem because of this detail, but in her opinion, it was better to avoid these details of subtracting points.
The little girl is not a bear child after all, seeing that she did something wrong, although she was a little aggrieved, she still apologized honestly. And Su Qingluan didn't really care about her sister, and touched her little head to say that it didn't matter.
At this time, Su Guangfu and Yang had already finished reading the invitation post, and Yang looked at Su Qingluan's dress with some worry: "I knew that I would make autumn and winter clothes for you that day, so I would have chosen some fresh fabrics." ”
The Su family went to the tailor shop to order autumn and winter clothes as early as a month ago.
If it was before, this kind of thing would always fall on Yang's - after all, a set of ready-to-wear casually costs a few taels of silver, and if it is a little more elaborate on texture and style, it is possible to double the price several times.
In contrast, it is naturally much more cost-effective to tear cloth and buy cotton to make clothes by yourself.
However, whether it was before or now, the Yang family was busy running around to support the family during the day, and if they wanted to sew clothes, they could only be busy chattering by candlelight after cooking dinner before going to bed - Su Qingluan had just crossed over and saw the Yang family sewing and mending clothes for their families.
However, this kind of work is inherently delicate, even when the sky is bright, it is a waste of eyesight, let alone in the dim and flickering candlelight?
Therefore, Yang often gets dizzy and dizzy for manual work, and lowering her head for a long time also makes her have backache.
However, now that the Su family is well-off, the Su family also has the ability to go to the tailor shop and directly pull the fabric to make clothes.
Having said that, Su Qingluan and Yang's family still need to run before and after the whole thing, so the fabrics selected are all dirt-resistant colors such as cyan and gray.
Although this kind of fabric is cheaper and easy to clean, if you want to go to a high-ranking family like Xie Fu, I am afraid it is not so appropriate.
