Chapter 151: Grandpa

"It's just a misunderstanding." Xia Ruoxi said lightly, "There is a child who was bullied, thinking it was your summer person." As a brother, I can't help you take a look and clarify, otherwise people will think that the people of our Xia family are bullying others casually, isn't it ......" Xia Ruoxi paused and continued to speak.

"I don't need you to take care of my business." Summer raised his eyebrows, "You should follow your Lao Tzu to learn how to manage a business." Don't think about how to find my stubble all day long, and don't give me the big hat of the Xia family. You can't buckle it, and I can't afford to wear it. ”

Xia Ruxuan looked at the three of them with interest, and so far all the men of the third generation of the Xia family have arrived. Summer is long, followed by Xia Ruoxi, Xia Ruxuan, and finally Xia Ruoling. Xia is the son of Xia Ruxuan's uncle, and the other two brothers are the sons of Xia Ruxuan's uncle. Although there are cousins and cousins among the relatives, they are not surnamed Xia and are not Xia brothers.

Summer swept over the two brothers, and then walked past Xia Ruxuan's side, and her face softened a little, "Go up." The two of them took two steps together before he whispered, "I really don't know what my family is making trouble like this." ”

Xia Ruxuan smiled bitterly, he didn't know how to answer Summer, maybe it was because he didn't like this kind of fight, so Summer would choose his own life. He's such a straightforward surname, and everyone knows it. So he believes that Xia Ruoxi will not be more serious with Xia.

"Let's go, let's go and say hello to grandpa." Xia Ruxuan paused, turned his head and looked at the two brothers who were still in place at the top of the stairs.

Xia Ruoxi's face sank violently. Seeing this, Xia Ruxuan didn't speak more, his idea was just that brothers could make his grandfather happier, but Xia Ruoxi was not stupid, and stood in place for a second, Xia Ruoxi quickly reacted and followed.

It is naturally best for a few brothers to go to say hello to their grandfather together, and any conflicts between them are their own business, and if it affects grandpa's opinion of themselves, it is really bad. Xia Ruoxi quickly figured this out.

The brothers pushed the door in, but the grandfather didn't notice it.

He is already eighty years old, and it is inevitable that he will look a little old, but there is a bit of indescribable majesty in his expression, and a sharp shadow can be vaguely caught in the outline that is no longer sharp. The service staff who was invited to take care of the lives of the elderly stood behind the chair, and when they saw a few young masters who walked in, they nodded respectfully.

And the grandfather sat on the rattan chair that did not fit in with the layout of the house, dressed in an old-fashioned suit, with leather gloves and a top hat, like a gentleman in the thirties, watching the Peking Opera played on the small TV, the TV was very loud, no wonder he did not notice that the door had been opened.

The rattan chair that Grandpa sat on was very shabby and seemed to give people a crumbling feeling. Even after trying to reinforce and repair it countless times, he never thought of replacing it with a new or more comfortable chair. At most, in winter, a cushion is stacked on top of this dilapidated rattan chair, which is said to be related to the grandmother who passed away a few years ago.

At this time, although there is already a lot of excitement below, those top chefs from five-star hotels have already begun to prepare the dishes for the banquet, and most of the guests who have come to celebrate their birthdays are not qualified to come to the room to greet them, so they can only wait for the old man to come downstairs. But at this time, grandpa Xia Mingrong was still sitting here quietly, watching the Peking Opera performance played on the small TV, and like the chair, he was unwilling to change to even a bigger TV. Most of the older people are so nostalgic.

I am reluctant to throw away old things, even if they are no longer of much use. His leather-gloved hand gently tapped his thighs, and his mouth gently hummed along with the words in Peking Opera, which for a while made it a little isolated here. Coupled with the old-fashioned furnishings in the room, this door is like a time tunnel, making people suddenly travel back in time and space many years ago.

Several people stood at the door and paused for a few seconds, Xia Ruoling, who was walking at the end, suddenly sneezed, in fact, he couldn't blame anything, there was some special smell in the room, it should be the so-called old man's smell.

Grandpa Xia Mingrong came back to his senses and turned his head to look at a few people, and smiled gently, "You guys are here, sit down." I listened to this paragraph. Grandpa pointed to the old-fashioned couch behind the rattan chair, and continued to turn his head to listen to the melodious melody and hum softly, until a few minutes later, he asked the TV to be turned off, "This is your grandma's favorite joke before." ”

After finishing speaking, no one spoke for a long time, and he was a little immersed in the past.

"Grandpa," Summer was the first to stand up, "I've recently done some research on the tea ceremony again. I went to West Lake to get some special Ming Lai. I'll make you a pot of tea. This scene is almost the same as Xia Ruxuan's memory, the birthday gift in summer is a small box of dragon wells. Before the Ming Dynasty was a species of Longjing, and according to the time, it was the tea picked before the Qingming Dynasty. Special grade refers to the highest quality, and at present, Longjing is divided into eleven grades, that is, special grade and one to ten grades.

It is only one hundred and fifty grams of tea, which is worth more than 10,000 yuan. This is not the top, and I don't have the way and ability to find the top Longjing in West Lake in the summer.

"Not bad." Xia Mingrong, who was a little sluggish, nodded, turned his head and asked others to help Xia Xia get the utensils for making tea. And Xia Ruxuan appropriately took out the purple clay pot he had prepared, which made Xia happy. Similarly, Xia Mingrong had a little more smile in his eyes.

In fact, Xia Ruxuan also thought hard for a long time before he thought of such a thing. It's not that this purple clay pot is precious, in Grandpa's place, better things than this abound, and what is more important to the old man is just a heart.

Under the fact that the two of them almost sang and harmonized, the two brothers Ruoxi Ruoling, who had prepared something superficial, were a little embarrassed. The gift they handed Xia Mingrong just let people take it and put it aside, didn't look at it much, but drank tea with his eyes closed.

"You guys should have a drink, too." Taking a sip, Xia Mingrong raised his head and said gently to his grandson.

Xia Ruxuan was not polite, and picked up a small teacup. Xia Ruoxi and Xia Ruoling glanced at each other, and also picked up the teacup. I took a sip of it.

"What do you think of this tea?" Xia Mingrong's face didn't show any ups and downs, and he asked.

Xia Ruoxi glanced at Xia Xia, who was sitting on the small bench, and sniffed the teacup with some embarrassment, where would he taste tea. It's just that you can still learn some if you want to draw a scoop according to the gourd, "This tea is very good, the fragrance is sharp, the taste is fresh, and the aroma is very strong, which makes people have an endless aftertaste." ”

Xia glanced at him, while Xia Mingrong nodded and looked at Xia Ruoling.

"I feel the same as my brother." Although he was young, he also knew to be polite.

The expression on Xia Mingrong's face was very hidden, and he finally looked at Xia Ruxuan, who was holding a cup and drinking it all, "Ruxuan, what do you think?" ”

Xia Ruxuan smashed his tongue, "It's bitter and astringent." ”

"Hahahaha." Xia Mingrong, who originally had no expression on his face, suddenly laughed when he heard this, "It's only Ruxuan who told the truth...... Tea is good tea, but the water quality of the tea is not good. Xia Mingrong said to himself, "Now that there is no well water, I miss the tea made with well water in the past, which can be regarded as a real mellow fragrance." ”

At this time, even if they didn't say it, the two brothers Xia Ruoxi and Xia Ruoling knew that their horses' farts were slapped on the horse's legs. This made Xia Ruoxi's face a little gloomy, Xia Ruoling couldn't notice it, but it was really a little boring to stay here.

"Xiao Tian." Xia Mingrong smiled and looked at Xia Xia and slowly spoke, "The tea ceremony and tea ceremony are all about the Tao. Do you know what is the highest level of the tea ceremony? ”

"Selfless, selfless." Summer said in a deep voice.

"Yes," Xia Mingrong nodded, "selflessness, in other words, selflessness." You can't reach this state of mind now, and the tea brewed with tap water will naturally be bitter and astringent. But it's still good tea. ”

Saying that, Xia Mingrong took a sip of the cup and enjoyed it.

"That's what Grandpa said." In the summer, he said warmly, without the ruffian spirit of the people in the rivers and lakes, just like the No. 1 knowledgeable young master.

Xia Ruxuan suddenly understood why the tea he brewed would make his grandfather full of praise, not because he really had a deep Dao, but because the person who made the tea was Summer. But this change in mood is probably the most difficult to control.

Xia Mingrong suddenly turned his head to look at Xia Ruxuan, "Ruxuan, your bitter and astringent sentence is afraid to wake up Xiaotian." ”

"It's okay." Summer shook her head and said in a deep voice, "I'll try more, and I can always make good tea for grandpa." ”

"You're with me. Let's all go down, and I'll go down in a while. After sitting for a while, Xia Mingrong drank tea and faced a few people, "Ruxuan, you stay and talk to me." ”

Not?! Xia Ruoxi frowned, even Xia felt a little strange. Usually the closest person to grandpa among these brothers is Summer, and Xia Ruxuan is often the most silent and least noticeable.

Grandpa is a very harsh and rigorous person, at least in Xia Ruoxi's mind, it is only in recent years that he has gradually eased up a little when he is older, but he also rarely says anything to the juniors of this generation.

In the past, it was a great thing to be proud to be able to let grandpa stay alone to say a few words, so it was not surprising that Xia Ruoxi was in this situation today. However, Xia Ruoling didn't notice anything, and walked out quickly when he heard that he could leave. Xia Ruoxi slowed down, but vaguely heard the first words of Xia Mingrong and Xia Ruxuan, "I heard what your father said." You...... Very good. ”

Later, when he saw Xia looking at him, Xia Ruoxi couldn't stay here all the time, so he had to follow him downstairs. But in his mind, he was always puzzled, and it was very good to be able to make Xia Mingrong speak. What exactly is going to be done?

Xia Ruoxi suddenly had a sense of crisis. originally thought that in this generation, the person who talked about it would be himself, because how many times he had tried to test the summer and came to the conclusion that the summer was not interested in these, and Xia Ruxuan had always been a lump of wood and no one paid attention to it. Not to mention Xia Ruoling. But Xia Ruxuan seems to have really changed something, so that he has to start paying attention to it.

If he really has a strong ability, relying on the foundation given to him by Xia Yunbai, he will definitely not be able to weld.

Trouble, trouble.

Xia didn't think much about it, he had already seen Xia Ruxuan's changes, and it was understandable that the latter would gradually enter the core of the Xia family. At this moment, he had other things in his mind, and when he walked to the door of the villa, suddenly a somewhat familiar young man came over to greet him, and when he looked at it, a playful smile appeared on Summer's face, "Brother Han, you are here." ”
