When he returned to the car, Xia Qian probably took less than forty minutes.
"What gift did you buy?" After Xia Qian got in the car, Peng Haiyi leaned over to look at the pocket she was carrying, and her face, which had been bad, was a little better.
"The old man was given a tea set, and the old lady prepared a carving." Xia Qian put the gift in the middle of the two seats, and Peng Haiyi glanced at it.
"You're quite kind!"
Xia Qian smiled, "We're friends." ”
"That's just as well." The two of them spoke the same ordinary words, but the meaning in their tones was understood only by the two of them. In short, Peng Haiyi knew that Xia Qian had already bought him what he wanted.
The White Mansion is located in the south direction of G City, where all the rich and noble people live in G City, and the White Mansion is the most outstanding place in this group of buildings.
After all, after more than a century, the great family that still stands, and then served in the army for several generations, has accumulated prestige and wealth that others can imagine at all.
Riding through the gate of the White Mansion, the wide roadway is lined with verdant broad-leaved sycamores, which looks quite shady and pleasant. Under the plane tree, there is a sentry in five steps, a post in ten steps, and the guards standing in a straight posture do not squint with their guns.
After about five minutes' journey, I finally arrived at the main house, which is different from the simple tiled house building of the Rong family, and the house of the Bai family has the architectural style of the houses along the coast at the beginning of the last century, with a little style of Republic of China architecture in the simplicity.
Due to the strong invasion of Western culture at that time, the architecture at that time also had some charm of foreign architecture, in short, it seems that there is no lack of historical precipitation in the atmosphere.
Similar to the style outside, the decoration in the house is also full of simple style, low-key and luxurious, a full set of pure solid wood red sour branch furniture, Xia Qian probably glanced at it, it is estimated that this set of furniture is not seventy or eighty million can not be taken.
Of course, this is not only because of the high sense of value of the red sour branch itself. The fine process of this wood being made into furniture is also a point of value.
The old man and the old lady of the Bai family generally eat earlier than the younger generation, because the two old people pay attention to health reasons, they usually eat everything after six o'clock except water.
Xia Qian got off work a little earlier. But because it took a little time on the road after taking gifts to buy things on the way, it was already five twenty when I arrived at Bai's house, and the old man and the old lady's meal had already been prepared.
"Grandpa, grandma, this is what I told you about Xia Qianqian." The place where the old man and the old lady of the Bai family ate was not in the big restaurant outside. Instead, in the living room in the courtyard of the second elder. When Xia Qian followed Peng Haiyi over, someone happened to set up dinner for the second elder.
Bai Yongsheng, the head of the Bai family, is not in G City now because of a transaction, and Bai Qi has not come back because of the company's affairs, and this situation often happens, so the second elder has long been used to eating alone.
"Mr. Bai, old lady, this is a little bit of the younger generation's heart." Xia Qian greeted the second elder with a smile and handed over the gift in his hand.
The old lady of the Bai family is the same as Xia Qian imagined, an old man full of energy, although he is almost eighty years old. But the meticulous dress and the bright eyes are shocking at a glance.
The old lady of the Bai family is full of kindness, because she has been studying things related to art all year round, so she has an elegant and gentle temperament all over her body, which looks very comfortable.
Of course, just looking at the first glance of these two old people, Xia Qian knew that these two people would definitely not be such simple characters as they saw with their eyes, after all, they could go through decades of time, and they had come all the way from the most chaotic era in China, and no two brushes could survive until now?
Let's talk about the Bai family's current family business. In addition to the accumulation of several generations, but if it were not for the control of the old man in front of them, the turmoil of decades ago would be enough for them to refresh it several times.
"Come on, what kind of gifts do you bring!" Xia Qian's appearance is gorgeous. But with her slightly cold look and indifferent and quiet temperament, it gave birth to another feeling of comfort, so the old lady did not hide her liking, and after glancing at the old lady Bai, she reached out and accepted the gift handed by Xia Qian.
Although Old Lady Bai looked a little kind on his face, he himself had many years of military career, so the momentum on his body had been stored for many years. It always gives people a sense of solemnity that is not angry and self-majestic, but when the old lady looked at him, there was still a trace of tenderness in his eyes.
Xia Qian smiled and didn't say anything.
"Xia Qianqian knows that grandpa likes to taste tea, so he ordered a set of black clay pots in 'Yachenxuan', grandpa, you will definitely like it!" Peng Haiyi originally wanted Xia Qian to leave a good impression in Old Lady Bai's heart this time, so he explained for Xia Qian with a smile at this time.
The Bai family has a big business, so naturally there is no shortage of anything, but when he heard that Ya Chenxuan heard that it was a black clay pot, Old Lady Bai still glanced at Xia Qian, not to mention whether he would put these things in his eyes, but he still knew that these things were not easy to get, so it could be seen that Xia Qian was preparing gifts with his heart.
Just giving such a valuable gift when they met for the first time inevitably made people think that she was deliberately bribing, so the old lady was stunned in his heart.
"Yachenxuan's black clay pot is priceless in the market, even if you want to get one, it will take a long time to get it, so the first time we met, Miss Xia gave such a gift, isn't it a little too valuable?"
Old lady Bai promised Peng Haiyi to see Xia Qian this time, in fact, she also wanted to meet this little girl, what kind of ability could make Bai Zhe, a stinky boy who had never asked the Bai family for anything, begged him for her matter, and exchanged it for conditions he didn't like.
The above is one of them, and the other is that in addition to Bai Zhe's incident is enough to prove Bai Zhe's difference to this girl, why does she think that she can rely on the insignificant Xia family to go against his son and help his grandson? So he wanted to know whether this little girl was too blind or too brainless.
Third, he was also curious about why Peng Huaiyi, who had just come back, suddenly became friends with this girl, and was willing to help her connect with him. Of course, Old Lady Bai also thought of it, and there must be Bai Yi's kid matchmaking in the middle.
But Peng Haiyi can be regarded as his grandson who grew up, and he also knows some of his character, although he is righteous, but if it is not for the character who makes him look at him differently, it is impossible to get his full help.
And this time, he actually put aside being caught red-handed by the Peng family and had to help this Xia Qianqian get on the line with him first, which can be seen that Xia Qianqian, a girl, has been recognized by him.
Therefore, the old man was even more curious about Xia Qian.
