Chapter 140: Treasure Hunting
Afternoon tea originated in Great Britain and became popular among the British aristocracy in the 17th century.
In the past, Hong Kong Island was occupied by the British, and the food culture was also deeply influenced, and afternoon tea is now an important leisure habit for Hong Kong Islanders.
Dragon and Phoenix Tea House.
Now the top floor of the entire teahouse has been chartered, and there are even plainclothes patrols around, obviously receiving big shots inside.
Luo Yu and Qiao Xiangxue both appeared.
Luo Yu's Breony suit is quite formal, but not grand enough.
Originally, Qiao Xiangxue wanted him to wear a tuxedo, but Luo Yu didn't like it.
And Qiao Xiangxue herself rarely wore a dress, an aristocratic hat, and white gloves.
She usually wears a Chinese-style long skirt, elegant and moving, like a fairy from Guanghan, and now she is dressed without flaws, complementing each other, she is really a cold beauty who is suffocating no matter how she wears it, that is, Luo Yu, she can still look as usual when she is pulled, and ordinary men are afraid that their legs are weak.
The two came upstairs, afternoon tea had begun, there were a lot of people, and they all looked like people with status.
There were three foreigners inside, a blonde and blue-eyed young man, who could compete with Beckham in appearance, and a beautiful girl like a Barbie doll sat on his right, very restless.
To the left of the blonde man, there is also a middle-aged foreigner wearing a high hat, who looks very knowledgeable.
In addition, they are all yellow-skinned, but among them, there is actually a figure of Lu Ming, and it seems to be very popular here, and everyone's eyes revolve around him.
There was also a quite eye-catching old man present, everyone else was in suits, but he was wearing an old-fashioned black coat, with a top on his head, and his face was yellow and thin, but he could still sit there with the old god sitting there, cranking a folding fan, talking and laughing.
"Xiangxue, Yu'er, you're here, come and sit. ”
Seeing Luo Yu and the others go upstairs, Grandma Sophie hurriedly got up to greet them, and then pulled the two over to introduce everyone present.
"This is my granddaughter Qiao Xiangxue, and this is her husband Luo Yu. ”
After introducing the two, Sophie introduced the others one by one.
"This is the Prince of Great Britain, His Highness Betas. ”
"This is Princess Alice. ”
"This is Ambassador Rodman back then. ”
"These two were the Comptroller General and his wife. ”
"This is Mr. Wu Changqing, the most famous generation of Feng Shui metaphysics masters on Hong Kong Island. ”
"This is Lu Ming, a senior disciple of the Deer Heavenly Master and a friend of His Royal Highness Betas. ”
"And this one, he is the son of the Huo family, Huo Jieming!"
There are many people who come to have afternoon tea, listening to the tone of Grandma Sophie, and many of them are old men and wives who held important positions on Hong Kong Island during the British period.
Although these people are no longer in their position, their social influence is still very large.
In addition, there are representatives of several wealthy families on Hong Kong Island, among which they noticed that Huo Jieming.
This person has a sharp beak and monkey cheeks, thief eyebrows and mouse eyes, to be honest, he really doesn't dare to compliment his appearance, and he is actually the eldest young master of the Huo family.
In Jianghuai before, Luo Yu heard Huo Wanru mention her brother, according to Huo Wanru's meaning, if she wants to inherit the family property now, the biggest obstacle is this goods.
It is not difficult to see that Huo Wanru tried her best to ask herself to help, this brother who doesn't look like a father and mother is not willing to sit still, looking at his eager eyes for Lu Ming and the feng shui metaphysics master, there must be these two people to support him.
Thinking of this, Luo Yu couldn't help but glance at the master of feng shui metaphysics.
Luo Yu had already heard a little about this person, and when he gathered at the hotel that night, Wu Fangtu and the other Jianghu warlocks held this person very high.
According to Wu Fangtu's words at that time, he thought that he could rank among the top 20 in the domestic feng shui world, but who was the number one?
As everyone knows, the wealthy people on Hong Kong Island attach great importance to feng shui, so it is not surprising that this first feng shui master on Hong Kong Island can even compete with the British Prince here.
When Luo Yu was paying attention to this, Lu Ming also saw Luo Yu and Qiao Xiangxue through the mirror reflection of the teacup in his hand.
In fact, he already knew that the two of them were back, because Lin Xitai and Sophie had already warmed up for everyone.
Lu Ming originally just wanted to invite the second elder over for afternoon tea, and by the way, Qiao Xiangxue was now unsatisfactory in marriage, and asked the second elder to ask Qiao Jiaxing Shi for guilt after he went back, but he didn't expect that the second elder would bring the little couple over, which made him a little surprised.
"If you don't come, others will think I'm spreading rumors behind my back. Lu Ming felt that this was a good opportunity.
After her grandmother Sophie finished the introduction, she pulled Luo Yu and Qiao Xiangxue over to find a place to sit.
Luo Yu saw that there was a small box in front of everyone, which contained all kinds of small objects that they carried around, and the material was not valuable, but everyone was like a treasure, and their faces were full of joy.
Grandfather Lin Xitai was also holding a jade wrench in his hand, playing there, as if he was fascinated, and even Luo Yu and Qiao Xiangxue came in just now, and they didn't bother to greet them.
"Xiangxue, Yu'er, come and see, there are a lot of treasures here. ”
As soon as she sat down, her grandmother Sophie also grabbed the small pendant in the box in front of her and held it in front of the two juniors.
"These are all welcome gifts brought to us by Mr. Luming. ”
"You two little people, don't underestimate these objects, they are all Mahayana Dao treasures that Mr. Lu has opened the light, and they are spiritual!"
Her old lady, although she said it wildly, but many big people around her, but they agreed very much, and some people picked up their gifts and couldn't put them down.
Luo Yu understood, no wonder that guy was so popular right now.
However, for these so-called Mahayana Dao Treasures, Luo Yu was not too lazy to take a look at them except for being funny.
The old lady was not only boasting, but also taking matters into her own hands, demonstrating to the little couple who had just come in.
I saw the old lady hang the small pendant on the leaves of a potted tree next to her, and the leaves withered at a speed visible to the naked eye in those days.
This was a bit scary, but immediately, the old lady demonstrated a very magical scene.
She retrieved the pendant and gently rubbed it on the back of her hand.
Mrs. Gui, who is sixty or seventy years old, no matter how she takes care of it, her skin is now full of wrinkles, but where she wiped it with a pendant, the wrinkles have dissipated a lot, and the effect is clear at a glance.
"Mr. Lu said, this is called grafting, but unfortunately this Mahayana treasure has just started to raise, and now it can only be used three times a day, and when it is raised for a few more years, the divine effect is even more amazing!"
Grandma Sophie looked intoxicated, and the people around her who said this were also full of eagerness, obviously looking forward to the effect of these treasures after they were cultivated.
Qiao Xiangxue's beautiful eyes were stunned, it was the first time she had seen such a miracle happen.
"Mr. Lu, my granddaughter and son-in-law are late, can you also give them two Mahayana Dao Treasures. ”
Sophie's grandmother really loves the juniors, she is happy to get the treasure, and she doesn't forget to worry about the little couple, solemnly and somewhat respectfully looking for Lu Ming to ask for treasure for the two.
Lu Ming brought gifts to everyone present today, but this time he continued to be generous, but looked at Luo Yu and Qiao Xiangxue with a smile, very helpless, and sighed:
"Madame spoke, of course I won't be stingy in the next place, it's just that last time I gave a Dao treasure that is a hundred times better than everyone in everyone's hands today to Sister Xiangxue, but let your son-in-law destroy it, your son-in-law's vision is too high, I don't think I can send it!"
As soon as these words came out, all the old men and wives around who were complacent were like being struck by lightning, and they all looked up at Luo Yu incredulously.
What? The Mahayana Dao Treasure, which is better than everyone else's treasures, has let this guy spoil it?
