129 Treasure (2)
Her gaze was indescribably flirtatious.
Lin Zhixi seemed to be unwilling to continue this topic. She quickly called everyone to try the tea she had just brewed. “This is the new Taiping Monkey Chief tea from this year. When I brewed it, I specially added a few fresh lychees.”
The others had average reactions, but Ye Xuan raised his eyebrows in surprise.
It was no wonder that the fragrance of these tea leaves was so special. It must be the fresh sweetness of the lychees that stimulated the fragrance of the tea leaves.
It was indeed worth trying such a complementary taste.
With this thought in mind, Ye Xuan picked up the teacup and took a sip.
The fragrant taste of the tea was mixed with a hint of sweetness. As he swallowed, it rolled into his stomach. However, there was a joy that rushed to his brain, making his mind tremble.
“This tea is very good!” It was to Zhao Yuan’s liking. There was a smile on his face.
He looked at Ye Xuan beside him and quickly introduced him to Lin Zhixi. “Look at my memory. I’m getting old. It’s really making me anxious! Zhixi, Little Friend Ye is also quite knowledgeable about antiques. I was lucky to meet him today, so I specially brought him here for you to meet him.”
Only then did Lin Zhixi notice Ye Xuan. In particular, when she saw that he was only eight or nine years old, her face was filled with shock.
Although it was only for a moment, it was already extremely rare for Miss Lin, who was calm when faced with anything, to appear this shocked.
Her grandfather and Zhao Yuan were old acquaintances. In the past two years, Zhao Yuan had become more and more famous, and very few people could obtain his favor.
However, Zhao Yuan valued Ye Xuan so much and even spoke so politely. Lin Zhixi couldn’t help but look at Ye Xuan in a different light.
He was clearly a child who was only eight or nine years old. She did not know what characteristics he had to make someone like Zhao Yuan like him so much.
Although she thought this in her heart, Lin Zhixi’s face did not reveal anything.
The shopkeeper from before did not leave. Instead, he stood at the side and served them tea.
“I’m sorry to have kept you waiting, Brother Zhao!” Just as everyone made small talk, an energetic old man walked out of the house.
When everyone heard the voice, they looked over in unison.
The person was wearing a bright red Tang suit. He looked quite old, and his beard and hair were all white.
However, what was even more surprising was that there were no wrinkles on his face. His skin was also very delicate, giving off a youthful feeling.
The old man’s voice was very loud, and his voice was clear and loud. It could be seen that his body was extremely strong.
When Lin Zhixi saw the old man, she immediately stood up and welcomed him with a smile. She held the old man’s arm and said, “Grandpa, you’re finally out!”
Seeing Lin Zhixi’s intimate att.i.tude, everyone instantly realized that this old man was the owner of Lin Antiques, Lin Dongpeng.
Lin Dongpeng looked at his granddaughter, Lin Zhixi, dotingly and said with a smile, “You’re already so old, but you still like to act spoiled! Aren’t you ashamed? Listen to what you said just now. I know that you miss your Grandpa, but those who don’t know might think that Uncle Zhao bullied you!”
When Zhao Yuan heard Lin Dongpeng’s words, he also laughed out loud. “Zhixi is the beloved daughter of the Lin family. How would we dare to bully her? Besides, this girl is famous for being obedient and interesting. There’s no time to be distressed.”
With just a few simple sentences, it could be seen that Lin Dongpeng and Zhao Yuan had an extremely good relationship.
Lin Dongpeng spoke to Zhao Yuan very enthusiastically. He automatically ignored the other people Zhao Yuan brought along and thought that they were students who had been brought along to broaden their horizons.
As for Ye Xuan, Lin Dongpeng chose to simply ignore him.
There was even a trace of contempt in his heart. He didn’t know whose family Ye Xuan was from. His parents probably wanted their child to see the world from a young age and actually brought him to their shop.
After all, he was a child. He had never seen Zhao Yuan bring a child over before, so it was not surprising for him to have such thoughts.
However, on second thought, this seemed to be a confirmation of his shop.
Who didn’t know that there were many good things in his antique shop?
If he really wanted to see the world, he had to come to such a place.
There was nothing wrong with that.
“Elder Lin, let me introduce you to a few friends…” Before Zhao Yuan could finish speaking, he heard messy footsteps.
Immediately after, four people went up to the third floor. As soon as they saw Lin Dongpeng, they immediately complained impatiently.
“Elder Old, you really know how to leave people hanging as you get older. If there’s anything good, why can’t you just take it out and let us take a look? You even insisted that we come over!”
“That’s right. You clearly know that this is the busiest time in our shop, but you just had to set the meeting time at this time. It’s really infuriating!”
“Elder Lin, quickly take out the item and take a look. If it’s not as good as what you brag about, we won’t allow it!”
Ye Xuan and the others observed the four shopkeepers.
The first person looked to be of medium height and was slightly fatter than a middle-aged man. His hair was combed into a cla.s.sic slicked-back hairstyle. He must have put on a lot of hair oil, making his hair look shiny.
There was a pocket on the chest of his long robe, and a golden chain was exposed. It was clamped to the collar by a small clip.
It looked like a pocket watch.
The second person looked much more ordinary. He was neither tall nor short, neither fat nor thin. He held a bracelet in his hand and was wearing a white Chinese tunic suit.
