The beginning of the counterattack! The time-traveling boss is famous in Beijing

As soon as Qin Ruo's carriage stopped at the gate of Xie's house, the doorman came up to greet her politely.

"Young lady and young master, what are you doing here at the Xie Mansion? Do you have a visiting card?"

Qin Ruo got off the carriage, explained her identity to the doorman, and asked him to go in and report.

Seeing that Qin Ruo and her brother both had extraordinary demeanor, the doorman did not dare to be negligent and quickly responded, preparing to go in and pass on the message.

Another doorman who had just left for some business and had just returned, immediately stepped forward and bowed to Qin Ruo and Qin Tiaotiao when he heard the conversation between the two.

"Miss Qin, is that you? Don't blame him for being new here and not knowing the rules. The old lady has already told me that if Miss Qin comes to Xie's house, there is no need to inform her. I will take you and the young master to see the old lady right now."

The last time Qin Ruo came to Xie Mansion, the doorman in front of her had seen her before. Miss Qin was sent here by Nanny Zhang herself.

"It's okay, he's just doing his duty." Qin Ruohe responded in a friendly manner.

As soon as the door of Xie Mansion opened, the clever servant ran towards Old Madam Xie's yard at lightning speed and went in first to report.

The doorman led Qin Ruo and Qin Tiaotiao into the house and walked towards the inner courtyard.

When they arrived at the gate of Madam Xie and Fengju's courtyard, the doorman stopped, made a gesture of invitation, and quietly retreated.

"Ruo'er is here. Where is she? Ruo'er..."

Mrs. Xie looked very happy and walked out of the house quickly in two steps.

"Junior Qin Ruo, nice to meet the old lady..."

Before Qin Ruo could fall down, she was lifted up by Old Madam Xie.

"Ruo'er, it really is you. I thought those maids were just teasing me. It's cold outside, come with me into the house." Old Madam Xie stepped forward and grabbed Qin Ruo's hands, smiling from ear to ear.

"I am sorry for disturbing you by coming here today. Ah Ruo would like to thank you for the gift you sent during the winter solstice. Thank you for your trouble..."

"You, when you are in the mansion, you should treat it as your own home. We don't need to be so polite. Hey, who is this young man next to you, Ruo'er?"

When Mrs. Xie turned her gaze to Qin Tiaotiao, she felt even more delighted.

Qin Tiaotiao is fair and tender, and wears a tiger-head hat. She is likable no matter how you look at her.

Si Heng and Cang Jiu are not often in the mansion, so Mr. and Mrs. Xie usually feel that the mansion is deserted.

I was very happy to see Qin Ruo and Qin Tiaotiao today.

"Tiaotiao, nice to meet the old lady." Qin Tiaotiao obediently stepped forward and bowed to Old Madam Xie without Qin Ruo's reminder.

"Your name is Tiaotiao? Good! Good! Just call me Grandma Xie."

Old Madam Xie looked at Qin Tiaotiao with a loving face, and couldn't help but reach out and gently pinch his face.

"Thank you, grandma." Qin Tiaotiao has always been a sweet-talker, and she immediately changed her tone.

"Hey! Hey!" Old Madam Xie laughed and pulled Qin Ruo and her brother into the house.

Qin Tiaotiao, who calls himself "lovable by everyone", proudly smiled at Qin Ruo, with smugness in his eyes.

Qin Tiaotiao was not afraid of strangers at all. She kept talking and coaxing old lady Xie into a happy mood all the way.

The two maids who were following beside him couldn't help but cover their mouths and laugh secretly.

Qin Ruo looked helpless.

When they entered the old lady's and Fengju's rooms, Nanny Zhang had already ordered the servants to serve tea and cakes.

"Miss Qin, you are finally here. The old lady has been thinking about you these days. If you don't come, the old lady will go to Changhe Village in person." Aunt Zhang came up to her with a smile.

"Madame Zhang is doing well. I should have come to visit the old lady earlier, but I was busy with worldly affairs and only came today. Thank you for your concern for the old lady and Madame Zhang." Qin Ruo smiled and exchanged a few words with Madame Zhang.

"Look, look. This girl is being polite again." Old Madam Xie glared at Qin Ruo in reproach, but the smile on her face did not diminish.

After Qin Ruo sat down, Old Madam Xie began to carefully look at the person in front of her.

"I haven't seen you for quite some time. Ruo'er has grown up a lot. Her features are very pretty. Even the girls in the capital city don't often have such a pretty face. I don't know which young man will marry her in the future." Old Madam Xie picked up the teacup and started teasing Qin Ruo.

Girls aged fifteen or sixteen in the Great Sheng Dynasty were indeed suitable for marriage. However, Qin Ruo had never considered this issue since she came here.

She really couldn't accept the fact that ancient people had three wives and four concubines.

Besides, being trapped in the harem with a bunch of women competing for favor is not the life she wants.

"Madam, please stop teasing me. A Ruo has not considered the matter of marriage yet. I'll just leave everything to fate." Qin Ruo answered generously.

"Just go with the flow, just go with the flow." Old Madam Xie took over Qin Ruo's words with a smile.

At this time, servants from the Xie Mansion came into the house one after another, carrying the gifts sent by Qin Ruo.

Qin Ruo stood up and smiled at Madam Xie, "This is a small gift I prepared for you, Madam. Please don't despise it."

"Hey, kid, why did you bring anything here? It's too expensive."

Old Madam Xie's heart began to beat fast when she saw the servants still moving things in continuously.

She was afraid that Qin Ruo would give her some valuable items again.

The last time Qin Ruo returned the gift, Mr. Xie felt very guilty.

She also knew that Qin Ruo's identity was not as simple as she seemed.

"It's only natural to exchange gifts. They are just ordinary things and are not worth much."

Old Madam Xie had just breathed a sigh of relief, but when she opened those things and took a look, she was still shocked.

Fine porcelain tea sets with delicate patterns, fresh fruits and vegetables whose names I couldn't name, Ganoderma lucidum as big as a washbasin, and a glass mirror that was so clear that every fine line on the face could be seen clearly...

Which of these things in front of me is ordinary?

Old Madam Xie turned her head and looked at the glass mirror that was more than one meter high. In her entire life, this was the first time she saw herself so clearly in the mirror.

Once, two palm-sized mirrors were presented as tribute from overseas, and the concubines in the harem almost fought over them.

She had never seen such a large glass mirror.

What Qin Ruo brought today include cucumbers, tomatoes, sweet potatoes, eggplants, lettuce, and carrots.

Fruits include strawberries, apples, crystal pears, oranges, and golden peaches.

Except for the apples and golden peaches that were only available in Dashengchao, Old Madam Xie didn't recognize the others.

"I have lived for most of my life, and I don't recognize the two baskets of fruits and vegetables you brought, except for Lin Qin and Jin Tao, who I have seen in the palace. This rice is crystal clear and each grain is distinct. It has a unique fragrance. It is good stuff!"

"They are just common things. Just give them to you, old lady, to try as something new." Qin Ruo responded gently.

The more Madam Xie looked, the more frightened she became. Qin Ruo refreshed her cognition time and time again.

After all, as a person who had experienced many ups and downs, Old Lady Xie did not rashly ask Qin Ruo about the origins of these things. She just told Aunt Zhang to put the things away.

She should just accept the kindness from a junior. Pushing it around would only make things awkward.

As for the origin of the things, Mrs. Xie did not intend to dig into the details.

The fact that Qin Ruo was willing to be so frank and honest without hiding anything showed that the other party really did not consider her an outsider.
