Foreign Monks (39)
"In this way, you can see where the Xue family's heritage lies!"
Qiu Yuan smiled and said to Xiao Tao, who was a little emotional. Even if the paintings are not famous paintings by world-class painters, and some of them are high-end imitations, the artistic attainments in them are also extraordinary, and they are obviously not the graffiti works of unknown people.
Old Madam Xue was chatting and laughing with a few children of the Xue family, and when she saw the three Xue Ke'er walking in from the door, she smiled and beckoned, and motioned for them to come and sit down beside her in the jealous eyes of several young men and women next to her.
"Hello grandma!" "Hello Old Madam Xue!"
Xue Ke'er, who was walking in front, sat next to Mrs. Xue, Xiao Tao greeted Qiu Yuan, and sat down on the side with interest. There is no dinner yet, and it is also taking this opportunity that Mrs. Xue will stay with these juniors of the Xue family for a while when the New Year is approaching, enjoying the family happiness of being full of children and grandchildren.
But time passed quickly, almost between the words, and it was already about seven o'clock in the evening. Old Man Xue, who was dressed in a red Tang suit, walked in and greeted everyone happily, but when he saw Xiao Tao, he was obviously a little stunned.
"I didn't expect that we were quite fateful, but you saved my benefactor twice!"
"Hehe, I didn't expect it either, but it's not my credit alone! The old man is blessed with a great life, even if there is no help from the younger generation, he will definitely be able to save the day! ”
Xiao Tao looked like a teachable and modest junior, and bent down very humbly in the eyes of the Xue family, chatting with Old Man Xue with a smile on his face.
"Let's eat here and cook a few more Chinese dishes! If you have anything you want to eat, tell the housekeeper that the chef here is also invited from China, and the craftsmanship is very good! ”
The Xue family, who were already sitting at the long Western-style dining table, looked a little embarrassed when they heard this, but Old Man Xue's words didn't seem like there was a possibility of refutation, so they got up one after another and sat down at the round table brought by several maids, while fiddling with their own tableware and chopsticks.
"Hehe, this tea is also given by an old comrade-in-arms at home, it is not an expensive thing, but the taste is also top-grade!"
Xiao Tao and Xue Ke'er sat left and right, sitting next to Old Man Xue and Old Lady Xue respectively, Qiu Yuan also sat next to Xue Ke'er, and the rest of the people had envy in their eyes. Sitting at the table together, except for a few uncles and uncles of the Xue family, there were only three of them in the younger generation.
"The old man smiled, I don't know much about tea, but this tastes really good, it's the best tea I've ever drunk!"
With Old Man Xue's recommendation, Xiao Tao naturally took a few sips seriously, with a look of enjoyment on his face, he drank all the tea in the teacup in his hand with some emotion, and said with admiration in his tone. As for some of them, they were a little disdainful in their hearts, but because Old Man Xue clearly showed good behavior, he didn't dare to say a word of ridicule.
There were nearly thirty people sitting at the three round tables, and there were more than a dozen dishes on each table, which were also sumptuous and delicious, and everyone ate with relish, and the chef really had a hand.
"John Law, arrange a room for them, it's snowing today, so there's no need to go back to the hotel to rest at night!"
Old Madam Xue naturally saw that Old Man Xue attached undisguised importance to Xiao Tao, and did not acquiesce to the Xue family's move to let them go back to the hotel like last time, but explained to the housekeeper in advance, dispelling other people's thoughts.
"Hehe, no, I don't have such a good appetite when I'm old, and it will take a long time to digest it if I eat more! If you need anything, tell the housekeeper, eat slowly, and we'll go for a walk first! I'm tired today, so I want to rest early, and I'll talk about it tomorrow! ”
After taking a breath of tea in the cup, Old Man Xue said to Xiao Tao with a smile on his face. The last few words were addressed to the other children. It is true that at the end of this day, even Old Man Xue, who has experienced the war, is extremely tired, but the sleepiness is not serious, so together with Old Madam Xue, he is ready to lead a group of children to walk around the indoor sports field.
"Mr. Xiao, Ke'er, there is a fitness room upstairs, do you want to go upstairs to exercise, it's not good to rest so early after eating, let's have a fun together!"
Although Old Man Xue and Xiao Tao have always spoken Mandarin, it is obvious that the others speak English more fluently, and three or two of them, young men and women, who should be cousins or cousins of Xue Ke'er, came over with a smile on their faces and invited.
"Okay, but I don't exercise regularly, so I might have to be ugly!"
Although it is not so obvious, these people understand the excuse to contact the feelings and come to explore his truth and truth, Xiao Tao is not easy to refuse, after all, when he walks with Xue Ke'er in the future, these people will inevitably deal with him again.
"Hehe, just play casually, there is also a court, after all, the old man also likes to play!"
One of them spoke fluent Chinese and looked at Xiao Tao with a kind smile and said.
"It's only past eight o'clock, and playing for a while can be regarded as a dissipation, let's go! In such a cold weather, sweating and taking a hot shower must be a very comfortable and enjoyable thing! ”
Qiu Yuan had a little loneliness in her eyes, but she was also chatting with a few people she knew, and she didn't make herself look too unsociable. Xue Ke'er followed behind Xiao Tao, as if she felt that the atmosphere was good, and she was also smiling, chatting with several other ladies of similar age about some interesting things.
"Hehe, look, your second brother is already here, it seems that he is recovering well, and he can play table tennis!"
Xue Kewen's figure appeared in the field of vision, which made Qiu Yuan's expression a little excited, but then calmed down, and walked to the badminton field next to Xue Keer and a few girls.
"Kewen, let's fight snooker, I already knew that you were a master, and I wanted to learn and learn for a long time!"
When they saw Xue Kewen, he also saw this, but it didn't seem that he wanted to say hello to anyone, and he was silently playing table tennis with a bodyguard, and it seemed that it had been for a while.
Xiao Tao just nodded to him, said hello, and was dragged by a few people next to him to the billiards next to him.
I have to say that except for playing billiards a few times with Jin Wei and Wei Fan occasionally, Xiao Tao has not played a few times, and naturally, the level is not much higher. Seeing that the person who felt better and better actually played a clear game, he had to applaud with the others, ignoring the contemptuous eyes of some people.
On the contrary, on Xue Kewen's side, there were bursts of coquettish exclamations, and even Xue Keer and Qiu Yuan walked over and watched him swing and hit the ball with respect. Indescribably elegant and handsome, unspeakably confident and wanton, Xue Kewen, who has a unique charm on the table, has a few girls with strange glints in their eyes, obviously having a strange impression of him.
Feeling that the time was almost up, everyone politely said goodbye and left, and walked towards their rooms. Xue Ke'er admired her excellent brother like a little sister, and pulled Xue Kewen's arm with a smile on her face, telling him about his heroic posture just now.
No, she was originally Xue Kewen's own sister. Xiao Tao shook some delicious thoughts in his mind, and followed behind the two of them with Qiu Kite.
may be that his performance is too bad, Xiao Tao comforted himself like this. But I also scored a few goals, which is much better than when I didn't score a single goal.
