"What? Looking for Mr. Wang?"
Inside the room.
Upon hearing Mr. Xie's words.
Old Su's expression froze slightly, giving Xu Yun a sowhat peculiar glance:
Although Xu Yun had already separated from his servitude status, entered the guest registry, and belonged to the category of "Guests," it was normal for soone to look for him.
But considering the tiline, this only happened yesterday.
Just a few days ago, when Xu Yun went to the Li Mansion to proofread books, he was still a regular servant.
Under such circumstances, could Xu Yun actually make Xiaoli co knocking personally?
Well, that's quite interesting.
You see.
Though won in the Song Dynasty had a higher social status than in many previous dynasties, and from a later perspective, it could even be considered one of the feudal dynasties with the highest status for won:
Won not only could freely go out on the streets, but they could also initiate divorce and remarry.
Yet even within such a context, the action of an unmarried girl proactively visiting a servant still challenged the traditional views of ordinary people.
Especially considering the visitor was presently renowned in the capital, Xiaoli, which added a bit of nuance to the entire situation.
Seeing Old Su glancing at him continuously, Xu Yun's forehead was imdiately adorned with a few black lines.
As soone with a sense of self-awareness.
He knew very well that Xiaoli couldn't possibly fall for him at first sight and co to invite him for an outing or flower viewing—if he had that charm, he wouldn't have been single for so long in the future.
Therefore, without any surprises.
This girl coming to Old Su Mansion must be to understand sothing about 'science' from him.
Old Su's curious questions haven't been resolved yet, and here cos another Little Doudou.
Moreover, she has that seemingly soft yet actually firm character…
Headache.JPG.
Then Xu Yun took a deep breath and said to Old Su:
"Master, a few days ago when I went to the Lord Chief Steward's mansion, I happened to et Miss Li.
Miss Li didn't dismiss us servants, but took the initiative to chat about family matters and asked about the mansion's situation.
At the ti, I casually ntioned so common phenona, and it seems she has beco sowhat intrigued by them…"
"Oh? Common phenona?"
Upon hearing this, Old Su raised his eyebrows, looking at him aningfully:
"Like electric generators and intravenous injections, those kind of common phenona?"
Xu Yun: "..."
Before he could respond, Old Su made the decision for him:
"At present, Zheng Ru is safe, and there is ample ti before the next dication; leaving Zheng Chen here to take care of things will suffice.
In that case, I'll go with you to et Qingzhao, as it is a matter of courtesy.
The last ti I saw this young lady was during the Lantern Festival, so ti has passed."
Xu Yun continued:
"..."
Although he felt Old Su had ulterior motives, the other party is the head of the family, and the reasoning isn't entirely unfounded.
So he could only sigh internally, temporarily bid farewell to Wang Bing and Wang Yue, and obediently followed Old Su towards the front courtyard.
The front courtyard, being the face of the Su Mansion, was much more finely furnished compared to the back courtyard.
The timber is superior, a faint woody fragrance pervades the courtyard, with ancient-style carvings, lush plants, red and green interwoven.
Accompanied by the incessant chirping of birds, it naturally evokes a desire to compose poetry or paint.
So when Xu Yun and Old Su reached the guest hall in the front courtyard, Xiaoli was currently...
Oh, holding a piece of paper, blowing into it with a swoosh.
Xu Yun:
"...."
However, Xu Yun's gaze only lingered on Xiaoli for a few seconds before shifting to...
The person beside her.
Yes.
Aside from Xiaoli, another person had co to Old Su Mansion!
This was a young man Xu Yun had never t, wearing a purple straight coat court robe, with a gold-thread spider pattern belt of the sa color at his waist.
His black hair was tied up and fixed with an erald gilt crown.
His slender body stood upright, exuding natural nobility amidst his grace and handsoness.
Xu Yun's good friend Qiu Sheng was already considered handso, but against this man, his looks still fell slightly short.
To be honest.
The only ones who could surpass this man's handsoness were probably the future readers themselves.
Yet, there was sothing odd about it.
Such a handso person gave off a bit of a...
Dispirited vibe?
In any case.
Judging from his bearing, attire, and position, it was clear he wasn't Xiaoli's attendant.
Most likely soone from the capital, a young master perhaps.
Wait, young master?
At the thought of the term young master, a na suddenly surfaced in Xu Yun's mind:
Zhao Mingcheng?!
My goodness, could it be this person?
If Xu Yun wasn't mistaken.
The connection between Zhao Mingcheng and Xiaoli dates back to the Lantern Festival in 1100.
Initially, it was Zhao Mingcheng's unrequited love, which blossod into a mutual affection over about a year, leading to their marriage in 1101.
Which ans, at this point in ti, Xiaoli and Zhao Mingcheng already had so form of interaction, though how far their relationship had developed was unknown.
Considering the young lady's personality, she might very well bring Zhao Mingcheng to Old Su Mansion?
Oh boy.
Reincarnating into the Northern Song period, would he still get fed with romantic dog food?
Da-da-da—
Perhaps having heard the footsteps of Old Su and Xu Yun.
Xiaoli subconsciously turned her head, her eyes lighting up upon seeing Xu Yun.
Of course.
Though Xiaoli had a flamboyant personality, she didn't lack the necessary courtesy.
