After hearing what Li Siqing said, Gao Jinliang was stunned.
Then, the hands on his legs clenched tightly.
The old man is old, so he doesn't know much about his daughter's thoughts, but he can still tell some clues by looking at the girl's reaction.
After all, everyone comes from that age.
But...there's no reason for a girl to feel lustful at this time, right?
Gao Jinliang looked at the seemingly peaceful Guihezhuang—under this superficial glory, his roots had already declined.
Lu Yuanlong, his spouse, and his son, Secretary Gao, went in together;
Aihua Company was robbed by the Gu family and became their own;
Brothers Lu Yuanhu and Lu Yuanbao are fighting each other...
The huge Lu family, which was originally prosperous, turned into a pile of sand overnight.
Mr. Lu paid no attention to the world. He was an eighty-year-old man and struggled to support himself, just hoping to stabilize the situation.
At least the girl has a way out in the future.
I don’t know how many eyes are staring at the girl at the center of the storm... Will she miss spring at this time?
If this is really the case, who is the target?
While he was thinking about this in his mind, an old but loud voice sounded:
"For whom is Nana so lovesick?"
The two of them looked over together and saw a thin, white-haired old lady walking over slowly with a smile on her face.
Gao Jinliang immediately reached out to help him and said: "Grandma, please slow down, it's windy outside, why don't you go inside and rest?"
The person who came was Mrs. Lu’s spouse, and she was also Yu Shuning, whom everyone in the village greeted as “grandma”.
Old Mrs. Yu said with a smile: "It's hard for Musician Li to come here. How can I not meet him? How can I hide in the house?"
Li Siqing said: "My great-grandmother praises me. I am just a violin player, how can I be called a musician?"
Mrs. Yu pointed a finger at him and said with a smile: "You are not just a violin player. You are the one who comes to the Zichen Hall to present gifts because of your violin playing. Don't be humble."
After joking for a while, the old lady asked again: "I just heard that my granddaughter, little Nana, is lovesick. Who is she lovesick for?"
Li Siqing said awkwardly: "I don't know, I just made a guess."
Gao Jinliang said: "I think this guess is reasonable. I think the little girl's recent behavior seems to be like spring."
Mrs. Yu smiled and clasped her hands together and said, "I'm just thinking about spring. It's time for a girl to get married. She's not too young now."
"I'm just afraid..." Gao Jinliang frowned and hesitated to speak.
Old Mrs. Yu looked indifferent. She said loudly:
"Tonight, I'm going to ask her around the corner. If this is indeed the case, just arrange a meeting to understand her situation."
Gao Jinliang said: "Grandma, isn't it easy for people to take advantage of loopholes when talking about marriage at this time? It's not like you don't know about the situation in the Lu family. If they take advantage of it..."
Gao Jinliang didn't finish speaking.
It was a troubled time at this time, and I don’t know how many people were eyeing the Lu family’s extravagant wealth.
Firstly, he was afraid that Lu Nina would be deceived and the Lu family would be completely ruined; secondly, he was afraid that the two tiger and leopard brothers would cause trouble again due to Lu Nina's marriage and take the opportunity to kick Lu Nina out of the Lu family.
It's not like things like this have never happened before. Lu Ruixiang's parents experienced something similar back then.
Old Mrs. Yu looked at Gao Jinliang, her old eyes shining:
"Except for life and death, there is nothing bigger than marriage. You, don't think too much about it."
After a pause, she glanced at the thermos cup in Li Siqing's hand, turned to the servant and said:
"Why don't you serve tea to both of you?"
Gao Jinliang was a little embarrassed. After all, he was a rough old man and didn't have such thoughts.
The servant below responded, and soon, holding a purple sand teapot and three teacups, and a bottle of boiling water in the other hand, he crept forward and placed it on the small square pear wood table in the middle of the pavilion.
First, I rinsed the purple clay pot, poured the boiling water down the sink of the pear wood table (the water pipe was connected to the underside of the table, specifically for drinking tea), boiled the tea leaves, and poured it on the inverted teacup.
After washing and wiping with a rag, the sewage flowed into the drain again. The third cup of tea soup was poured into the cup, which was clear and yellow. The servant put the two cups of tea into the hands of Gao Jinliang and Li Siqing.
Li Siqing held the tea cup and laughed, saying: "In your village, even watching people make tea is a pleasure."
Mrs. Yu picked up her teacup, frowned at the clear tea soup inside, and frowned.
"Call Butler Cheng over."
The servant immediately ran to call for someone. Hearing Gao Jinliang's tone, Li Siqing felt that it was not a good thing and did not dare to ask any more questions.
After a while, Butler Cheng came over and called Grandma. Mr. Gao and Mr. Li stood there with lowered eyebrows.
Mrs. Yu said warmly: "Butler Cheng, when did you buy this tea?"
Butler Cheng lowered his head and said, "I recently went to Xiangmingju to do some shopping."
"Then let me ask you, in the past, the Lu'an melon slices were all made from Neishan first-class slices. Why is it that when I drink this cup of tea, it is plum slices?"
Butler Cheng raised his eyebrows slightly: "Really? I didn't notice the difference."
The old lady's face suddenly darkened.
"I can't taste Chengdong, Inner Mountain, and Outer Mountain. But I can still tell the difference between Tiping and Plum Blossoms. Tell me, why is this tea a Plum Blossom tea?"
This pot of tea is Lu'an Guapian, one of the top ten famous teas in China. Lu'an Guapian varies in price depending on its appearance and grade.
Tea picked before Grain Rain has the best quality and is called "Ti Pian"; tea picked after that is called "Guapian".
There is a big difference between tiffin slices and melon flakes. The tiffin slices are rare in quantity, so the price is quite high, while the melon slices are a bulk product with average quality, so the price is not that high.
As for the "plum slices" the old lady mentioned, they refer to the tea leaves picked during the plum rain season. The quality is rough and old, the most average, and the price is very different from that of plum slices.
Butler Cheng has been in charge of purchasing tea, so it stands to reason that he shouldn't be unable to tell the difference. The old lady is worried that he will pass off inferior tea and embezzle the Lu family's funds.
When Butler Cheng heard this, he knew he couldn't hide it, so he could only bite the bullet and said:
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Grandma, you are the one who said that the village needs to reduce the funds. It's not that it can't be done. It's because the east side has been demolished and the west side has been drained. The tea leaves can only be a little aggrieved. Who knows?
You can taste it as soon as you taste it.”
When Yu Shuning heard this, she understood in her heart.
The fact that I became a housekeeper just now was not a deliberate concealment, but it was in front of Li Siqing that I was afraid of losing my reputation in front of outsiders, so I pretended not to know.
It's just that I didn't think about it that way.
Thinking of this, she felt helpless and said:
"Although it is true that we can save as much as we can, how can we make do if we just live one day at a time? It would be better not to drink tea if we replace the good melon slices with plum slices."
Butler Cheng sweated on his forehead: "That's what you taught me."
"Is there any other tea at home?"
"No more. I bought about ten cans of these plum slices. Do you think I took them to return them?"
Yu Shuning frowned and waved her hand, saying:
"Don't do that kind of embarrassing thing. Since you bought it, drink it carefully. We can't do anything like wasting things."
After finishing the lesson and becoming the housekeeper, the great-grandmother turned back to Li Siqing and said: "Mr. Li, the people below are ignorant and make you laugh."
Li Siqing waved his hand and said: "It's okay, Grandma, I don't understand tea, so I can't tell the difference between them. They all taste the same."
While the three of them were talking, they suddenly heard the sound of a violin coming from the terrace not far away from Kazuki.
"Ah," Li Siqing was shocked, "My Stradivarius is still on the terrace over there. Who played my piano?"
"It must be Nana," said the great-aunt, "Nana is back."
Stradivarius is worth a lot of money. Except for Li Siqing's direct disciple Lu Ningna, no one dares to touch his piano.
Gao Jinliang frowned: "Why did you run away to play the piano? Didn't I ask her to come see Teacher Li as soon as she came back?"
Li Siqing waved his hand and said, "It doesn't matter, I'll listen to her progress during this period."
The terrace is where Lu Nina practices the piano. It is not far from here, with a row of trees in the middle. You can vaguely see a person playing the piano there.
"Well, not bad," Li Siqing nodded immediately after listening to it for a while, "This is "Bach #3: Unaccompanied Violin Sonata", a work by JX."
After a pause, he added: "This piece is called the encyclopedia of the violin. It contains all the chords that the violin can play, and even some counterpoint techniques that are almost impossible to complete. Nana dared to challenge this after not seeing her for a few days.
It’s a difficult piece of music, it’s really awesome.”
Gao Jinliang, who was standing aside, frowned secretly.
Not for anything else, just because I heard the name JX.
Unlike the prosperous days elsewhere, it is difficult for you to see anything related to JX in the Lu family.
After all, the main culprit responsible for the decline of the Lu family is this JX.
