Xiao Mufan Chapter 8
Xiao Mufan was carrying two boxes of tea in his hands, standing straight at the door with the words Chu Mansion written on it, his heart was really a little fluttering, after living for such a long time, it was the first time to visit a lady.
A small window opened in the door, revealing the face of a little girl who was flushed.
"Sir, who are you looking for?"
"May I ask if this is Ms. Dong Yaqing's house?"
"yes."
"I'm here to visit Ms. Dong, can you let me in?"
"What is your surname, sir?" I'll have to say goodbye to my wife. Lilac said seriously.
Xiao Mufan was happy in his heart: "The little girl is quite a score." ”
So he clasped his hands into fists and said politely: "Trouble the girl to give a shout, and the contemptible Xiao Mufan asks to see Ms. Dong." ”
Seeing such a magnificent old man so respectful to himself, Lilac was so beautiful in her heart.
"Wait a minute, I'll go." After saying that, he turned around and ran, forgetting to close the window.
Dong Yaqing was reading a book in the living room, when she heard Lilac screaming and running in, she was startled, and thought something was wrong.
Lilac pushed open the door and shouted: "Grandma, there is a ......" When she raised her eyes, she met Dong Yaqing's frowning brows, she stuck out her tongue in fright, turned around and retreated, standing outside the door and shouting cautiously: "Grandma, there is a guest at the door." ”
I heard Dong Yaqing say, "Come in and talk about it." Then he gently pushed the door open and walked in.
Dong Yaqing looked at her: "It's only been a few days since you left the old lady's house, and you have even forgotten the rules?" Shouting, how do you look like a girl? ”
"Don't dare next time, Grandma."
"Who's coming?"
"It's a big man, tall, and dressed in style."
"Who asked you this, which master is it?"
"Oh, I asked, and he said his name is Xiao Mufan, and he came to see you."
"Xiao Mufan? Coming so soon? Dong Yaqing was really surprised.
"Please come in, Mr. Xiao."
"Yes."
Lilac turned and ran out again.
Seeing her panicked appearance, Dong Yaqing shook her head helplessly. As he got up and went out, he thought, "What will happen if you are in such a hurry to visit your home?" ”
As soon as he crossed the threshold, as soon as he looked up, Xiao Mufan had already walked in around the shadow wall.
At the moment when the two eyes met, the two of them looked at each other at the same time, and what appeared in the eyes of both parties at this time was a completely different image from the previous impression.
When they met for the first time on the day of the dinner, Dong Yaqing wore a dark green Chinese-style cheongsam, which looked both graceful and dignified. And Xiao Mufan deliberately wore a beige suit because he was going to a Western-style dinner, plus he was relatively tall, and he always liked to hold a jade pipe, giving people a feeling of extraordinary bearing.
And today, Dong Yaqing was dressed in light and comfortable Western-style casual clothes, which made Xiao Mufan's eyes suddenly brighten, and suddenly added a surprise.
Dong Yaqing rarely wears skirts at home, she finds it uncomfortable and inconvenient to wear skirts, she likes to wear casual clothes, or Chinese-style pants, or Western-style shirts.
Today, she wears a pair of white khaki trousers, a light brown sleeveless lapel shirt on her upper body, the skin on her cheeks without any makeup is still white and fine, and her black wavy shoulder-length curls are tied behind her head with a brown ribbon, and the whole person looks so comfortable, beautiful and young. Xiao Mufan's heart suddenly thumped, and he felt that Dong Yaqing in front of him seemed to be less out of reach.
Dong Yaqing held on to the door frame, stood on the steps and looked into the courtyard, only to see a tall middle-aged man standing in front of the shadow wall, wearing a simple and generous silver-gray poplin gown with dark stripes, and carrying a gift box with a very elaborate packaging, looking like a typical Chinese businessman. The person in front of her couldn't connect with the man in the suit and leather shoes in her impression no matter what, until she saw the eyes of the familiar stunned staring at her, she was sure that the person who came was indeed Xiao Mufan.
Xiao Mufan suppressed his heart, which was beating a little irregularly, and arched his hand towards Dong Yaqing: Xiao took the liberty to visit, it was really a bit of a mistake, and I asked Ms. Dong to forgive me. ”
Dong Yaqing greeted him with a smile and said, "Mr. Xiao can come, making the small courtyard shine, Yaqing can't ask for it." As he spoke, he leaned sideways into the house and let the guests go, "It's too sunny in the yard, please sit in the house." ”
"Okay, okay." Xiao Mufan mechanically agreed and followed Dong Yaqing into the house.
Standing in the simple but elegant and comfortable living room, he suddenly felt a little nervous. This was the first time he had visited a single woman alone, and he felt a little at a loss for a while.
"Mr. Xiao, please take a seat." Dong Yaqing saw that Xiao Mufan was a little nervous, and said politely while guessing his intention in his heart.
"You please, you please." Xiao Mufan insisted on waiting for Dong Yaqing to sit on the sofa, and then sat down on the sofa opposite.
As soon as I sat down, I looked down and saw the gift box in my hand, and suddenly remembered that I hadn't given the gift to anyone yet, and put it on the coffee table in front of Dong Yaqing with both hands, "This is the Longjing tea that was picked during Qingming this year, please Ms. Dong smile." ”
"Mr. Xiao is too polite, how can I let you break the bank."
"It's not a matter of breaking the bank, the Xiao family's tea house and the tea garden in Hangzhou have been friends for decades, and every year they will send some of the best tea leaves to keep at home to taste. I remember that last time Ms. Dong seemed to say that she liked West Lake Longjing, so she brought two boxes by the way, which was not a tribute. ”
"Yo, that's precious!" Saying that, Dong Yaqing picked up the two boxes of tea on the table and looked at them happily.
"I still like West Lake Longjing, which has a special fragrance. Since leaving Nanjing, I haven't drunk authentic Longjing tea again, I didn't think you were so careful, then I thank you. ”
"It's not worth anything, if you want to talk about authentic Longjing tea, it has to be the Longjing brewed from the spring water of Hupao Spring to be the real West Lake Longjing. Since you like it so much, I will let people bring a few buckets of water from Hangzhou Hupao Spring. ”
"I don't dare to do that, I can't help it."
As she spoke, Lilac walked in with a tea tray.
Dong Yaqing smiled and said, "I don't have any good tea here, Mr. Xiao just drink some casually, just to quench your thirst." ”
When Xiao Mufan heard her say this, he hurriedly picked up the cup and took a sip, and praised it repeatedly: "Dongting Biluochun, good tea, good tea!" ”
Dong Yaqing smiled slightly, and then asked slowly: "Mr. Xiao is in such a hurry to come over, there must be something important, right?" ”
In Beiping in July, the weather was already hot, Xiao Mufan just took a sip of hot tea, and Dong Yaqing asked this, and immediately burst into a hot sweat. In the blink of an eye, his forehead was covered with dense beads of sweat, and his whole face turned red when he stared.
