Chapter 14: Show-off from a stand-in
When Yan Xi passed, she took a box of pastries by the way, which was the sweet and soft tea crisp she liked to eat, with various flavors, printed with seasonal cherry blossom patterns, small and exquisite, and it was just right to enjoy cherry blossoms with tea.
Not long after Yan Xi left, Steward He entered the kitchen.
"What? The eldest lady carried a box of tea crisps to Xie's house next door? ”
Steward He scratched his head, "But I heard Lao Liang next door say that his young master never eats tea crisp." ”
The cook's face froze, "Ah, what can I do about this?" The house next door is quite unkind, so it won't lose the face of the eldest lady, right? Last time, Miss Xiangxiang made a fuss in the past. ”
Steward He's heart sank and he hurriedly ran out.
At this time, Yan Xi had already entered the courtyard of the Xie family.
In the spring and the scenery is bright, the cherry blossoms in the garden are blooming brilliantly.
The layout of the Chinese courtyard is also very exquisite, with three steps and one scene, and the owner's intentions can be seen everywhere.
The young man stood tall and jade, standing under the cherry blossom tree, looking up at the sky, his hand holding the trunk of the tree was slender, and his wrist bones were protruding, which was a delicate white like jade.
Hearing the movement, he turned his head and smiled at Yan Xi and nodded.
Only then did Yan Xi notice that he was holding flower scissors in his other hand, and there were already a few cherry blossoms on the stone table next to him - it turned out that he was cutting flower branches.
The old housekeeper who brought Yan Xi into the door smiled and said, "Young master, Miss Yan Xi is here, and she also brought pastries for you to eat." ”
The old butler directly opened the food box and laid out the pastries. took the tea set out and put it on the table, and the old housekeeper said while skillfully making tea, "Miss Yan Xi stay and have a cup of tea." ”
Xie Chang had already cut the flower branches and wrapped them carefully, "These are for you, if they are not enough, I will pick some for you later." ”
Yan Xi was startled, there were two big bags in it, "Enough is enough, thank you." ”
After a pause, he smiled and apologized, "I just picked your cherry blossoms without your consent, I'm sorry, I hope you don't be surprised." ”
Xie Changze: "It's okay, if you like it, you can come and pick it at any time." ”
The old housekeeper smiled: "It's just the season to enjoy the cherry blossoms, and there are still many varieties of cherry blossoms to bloom behind, Miss Yan Xi can come to the door to enjoy the cherry blossoms." ”
Xie Chang washed his hands and came back, sat down at the stone table, picked up a piece of tea crisp and took a bite, "Thank you for the tea crisp, it's delicious." ”
Yan Xi was wearing a mask, a little embarrassed, "I have allergies on my face recently...... I won't drink the tea. I'll just walk around on my own, right? ”
said that it was a turn, but in fact, it turned around slightly, restrained and polite, but Yan Xi felt satisfied.
Seeing such beautiful flowers and scenes, and seeing such beautiful people, I feel bright.
Yan Xi turned back and said goodbye, "Thank you for your cherry blossoms." ”
Xie Chang got up: "I'll send you." ”
As soon as Yan Xi walked out of the gate of the Xie family's villa, he saw Steward He standing outside the door, and when he saw Yan Xi coming out, Steward He was obviously relieved and wiped the sweat that did not exist on his forehead.
On the way back, Steward He couldn't help but ask, "That box of tea crisps...... Their family took it? ”
Yan Xi was a little inexplicable, "I accepted it, Xie Changze, oh yes, his name is Xie Changze, and he said it was delicious." ”
Steward He: "??? ”
On the other side, Yan Xi left.
Lu Qingming walked out of the house with a confused face, "Grandpa Liang, someone just came?" Wow, isn't this tea crisp, it's still osmanthus flavored, I like to eat it. ”
As he spoke, he sat down on the stone bench as he reached for the saucer of tea.
"Smack!" A pair of chopsticks struck his wrist precisely, and Lu Qingming subconsciously retracted his hand and looked at his cousin with a confused expression.
He was just taking a nap, and he hadn't woken up yet, "Brother, what's wrong?" Didn't you eat tea crisp, by the way, Grandpa Liang took Chen Xiangxiang away last time......"
"I like it now." Xie Chang raised his eyes slightly, his eyes were cold, "No?" ”
Lu Qingming had a hellish expression on his face.
Then, he suddenly pointed to Xie Changze's face and made a fuss: "Brother, what's wrong with a rash on your face?" Oh my God, you're allergic! ”
The old housekeeper was also stunned, and after a closer look, Xie Changze really had a lot of small rashes on his face, because his skin was very white, and those red rashes were especially terrifying.
"Young Master!" The old butler was about to call, "Are you feeling unwell?" I'll ask my GP to come ......"
"No, you don't." Xie Chang didn't care, he got up and picked a few medicinal herbs in the medicine garden in the corner of the courtyard, "It's okay to drink these decoction water, it's not a big deal." ”
The old housekeeper was stunned, took the herbs and went to the kitchen to fry them.
Lu Qingming also slowly relaxed, and his hand couldn't help but reach out to the stack of tea crisps.
"Brother, you said you can't eat it, don't eat it, you're not the kind of person who likes to eat snacks and pastries, there's no need to give anyone face."
Lu Qingming felt that this box of tea crisp must have been sent by Chen Xiangxiang, and that day Steward Liang blasted Chen Xiangxiang away without saying a word, which was indeed a bit rude, so today my cousin was so unusually willing to eat tea crisp, did he want to appease Chen Xiangxiang's emotions, right?
"Smack!" I was hit with chopsticks again, and this time it was much heavier.
Lu Qingming looked at his hands, they were all red, and he was extremely aggrieved: "Brother, what are you doing!" You can't eat it, and you're not allowed to eat it, are you not allowed to eat it? ”
His brother is not a person with heavy appetites, for a box of tea crisps, as for it?!
In response to him, the whole plate of tea crisp was taken away by slender and white hands, ruthless and cold, leaving him with only a clear back.
——
When Yan Xi walked into the hall, he found that the house was a little lively.
There are brand staff members coming in and out with clothes and the like, Chen Xiangxiang is sitting on the sofa in the living room, and when she sees Yan Xi coming in, she rubs the ground and stands up.
"Sister Yan Yan."
Chen Xiangxiang seemed to be a little uncomfortable, and explained softly, "...... These are all birthday gifts from Uncle Xi, Brother Ziang, and Yuhuai. ”
Yan Xi glanced at it casually, and it was all some big-name clothes, bags, shoes, and some jewelry.
I don't know if the person who sent these is attentive or not, anyway, the things are all classic models of various brands, and the kind that can be bumped into on the street at will.
She casually pointed to one of the white dresses, "This one was given by Huo Ziang?" ”
"Yes...... Any questions? Chen Xiangxiang stared at the outdated clothes on Yan Xi's body, her eyes flickered, and she suddenly said, "Sister Yan Yan, if you like it, I'll give it to you." ”
Yan Xi was stunned for a while before she realized what she was talking about.
She laughed dumbly.
Chen Xiangxiang didn't realize it, and still suggested enthusiastically: "Actually, I can't wear so many clothes, you have been hospitalized for so long, and you don't have time to buy new clothes, you will go to school tomorrow, so it is better to pick a few favorite clothes." ”
Off topic: Does anyone mind bumping into someone's shirt? I don't think it's terrible to hit the shirt, who is ugly and who is embarrassed; Anyway, I'm not embarrassed, it's someone else who is embarrassed.
