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.
