Chapter 203 Song Ci: I am shamefully corrupted!
When Song Ci and her party arrived at the estate, it was already nearing noon. The manor head and a group of people were kneeling at the main entrance to greet them.
"Have them all rise and disperse. It’s the middle of the day, the sun is scorching, let them stop kneeling." Song Ci instructed the matron outside.
The matron smiled and went to convey the message. Li Da, the manor head, instructed the other estate workers to leave, while he stayed, awaiting respectfully with the maids and his wife.
Song Ci alighted from the carriage and was invited into the inner hall. As for the scenery and such, it was too hot in the midday heat, and after the tiring journey, who would be interested in sightseeing?
The inner hall had already been tidied up. Without needing Song Ci’s instructions, Nanny led the people to start organizing, bringing water for Song Ci to wash up and to reapply fragrance balm.
Even when washing her face, a maid helped to wipe her face. Song Ci increasingly felt her own debauchery. If by any chance she could return to the modern era, without anyone to serve her, she was so used to being a worthless good-for-nothing, what would she do?
After freshening up and changing clothes, Song Ci returned to the outer room feeling refreshed. She had just sat down when a young maid brought up tea.
Song Ci looked at the two lotus seed-like objects floating in the tea and couldn’t help but ask, "What tea is this?"
"Madam, this is our estate’s lotus leaf and lotus seed tea, made from lotus pods, lotus seeds, and lotus leaves. It’s great for relieving summer heat and detoxifying. You can try it, and if you don’t like it, I can change it for you." Li Da’s wife explained with a respectful smile.
Song Ci found her round face quite pleasing and said, "Thank you for your hard work."
