Chapter 518 I want to do some business with Boss Dong
At the request of his parents, Dong's father dragged his family back home for "visiting relatives" during the holidays, but he always brought his lovely daughter with him. The daughter should be pampered in the boudoir. Besides, the daughter is sweet and cute. What a joy to bring home.

Son, just do the hard work.

For this matter, Old Dong often complained to his mother, but the mother just smiled and ate snacks and listened to the music, and turned around to see if she should take him or not.

Old Dong felt that he was like a cabbage, no one loved him, and he was always told by Si Yu that he was old.

He is in pain!
Si Yu never told Xia Houxiang and Rongli about this, so when the husband and wife knew that the person Si Yu asked them to find was named "Old Dong", they subconsciously thought that it should be a middle-aged man, or simply It is an old man.

In short, he should be much older than Si Yu.

But when the legendary 'Old Dong' appeared, the corner of Rongli's mouth twitched fiercely, who would tell her why this young man who was at most [-] years old was called 'Old Dong'?

Rong Li didn't know that Dong Leming looked like this when he was less than ten years old.

Dong Leming just took some time off today, and the tea merchants in Xiqin just finished their delivery from the tea house in Yingze a few days ago.

Because of the special geographical location of Miaojiang, whenever outside tea merchants come to order tea, they will first go through Yingze, and then the shopkeeper at Yingze will hand over the order to Miaojiang for processing.

After all, Miao Jiang can't come easily, although Dong Leming doesn't have to go to Yingze to deal with it himself, but he still has to handle the affairs in Miao Jiang.

Posting, checking, and shipping are trivial, and it took nearly ten days, but Dong Leming was exhausted.

Therefore, when he heard that Yingze came to ask for tea, Dong Leming was really taken aback, thinking why he didn't pick up the goods at Yingze, but came to Miaojiang instead.

At the same time, I am amazed in my heart, it is not easy to enter Miaojiang, let alone Yingze, so of course I have to come out and see.

As for his father and mother, since his elder sister got married, the two of them have been traveling around the mountains and rivers, leaving all the business in the family to him alone, regardless of his son's life or death.

Dong Leming looked at the sky at 45 degrees while walking. Up to now, Dong Leming can be regarded as half a literary youth. It's not easy to do things like sadness and sorrow.

Entering the main hall, Dong Leming saw the two people who were let in by the concierge, standing in the room and looking at the calligraphy and paintings on the wall. Just looking at the two people's demeanor, they felt extraordinary. past these two.

Could it be that he is a new tea merchant in Yingze?

"Dong is welcome at a distance, you two have been waiting for a long time." Dong Leming greeted first after entering the room. Business is about meeting and meeting, not to mention the many people he met. Although the two people in front of him were dressed in low-key , but it's hard to hide the extravagance on his body, it's right to say hello.

"Boss Dong, you're being polite. The two of us came here uninvited. I hope Boss Dong will forgive me." Xia Houxiang cupped her fists and greeted Dong Leming.

"Hehehe, sit down quickly," Dong Leming gave up his seat with a smile, "Butler, let's have some tea."

The family was already in the tea business, and when these two came here they said they wanted to talk about the tea business with the young master, so the tea for guests must be the best.

Once Xia Houxiang has tasted it, he knows that it is not an ordinary product, and it can be compared with tribute tea.

Dong Leming saw Xia Houxiang nodding his head slightly after drinking the tea, and felt relieved, he knows tea, and it seems that he will make another fortune today.

Rong Li sat at the side and sipped tea, with her husband standing in front of her, so she just sipped tea and listened to their conversation. By the way, Dong Mansion's tea is really good.

"I haven't asked your honorable name yet." Dong Leming looked at Xia Houxiang and asked, he came from a long way, so it will be easier to deal with him after asking what his name is.

"My surname is Xia, and the single name is Xiang." Xia Houxiang concealed the word of his surname to avoid unnecessary trouble, "This is my wife."

Rongli nodded, as a greeting, but he wanted to laugh in his heart, this 'Xia Xiang' has come out, I don't know if she should name it 'Qiu Xiang'.

Dong Leming nodded and said, "So it's Boss Xia and Mrs. Xia, sorry for your disrespect."

"Boss Dong is polite."

"Boss Xia came from a long way, and Dong didn't greet well. I don't know why Boss Xia came this time..." Dong Leming didn't continue. There is no way to talk about muddled business.

At this time, there are housekeepers and maidservants serving tea and water in the main hall. It is really not a place to talk about things. Therefore, Xia Houxiang said to Dong Leming, "I heard that all the tea made by Boss Dong is of the highest quality. , I tasted it today, it is really sweet and delicious, Xia came here with sincerity, and wanted to discuss cooperation with Boss Dong, I don’t know what Boss Dong wants?"

After finishing speaking, Xia Houxiang pretended to tidy up his clothes, and he hung the token Si Yu gave him around his waist. After moving his clothes like this, Dong Leming looked subconsciously.

Looking at the jade pendant, Dong Leming's eyes flickered, and then he glanced at Xia Houxiang again, feeling clear about it.

The high-sounding words are naturally for the servants to listen to. The people in the main hall have a lot of chatter, and if one or two things come out, they are not good, so Xia Houxiang wanted to find an excuse to talk to Dong Leming alone.

Now let Dong Leming see the jade pendant by arranging his clothes, Rongli is always paying attention to Dong Leming, seeing the change in his expression at this time, Rongli knows immediately that Dong Leming knows that Si Yu sent them here.

Dong Leming said with a smile as if nothing had happened, "Boss Xia is quite sincere. He traveled a long distance to Miaojiang. Dong was very happy. He also invited Boss Xia and his wife to move to the study. Let's talk in detail in the study."

"Okay." Xia Houxiang nodded and stood up, Rong Li stood beside Xia Houxiang, and the husband and wife followed Dong Leming to the study.

After entering the study, Dong Leming told the housekeeper that no one is allowed to enter the study, and he wants to discuss business with Boss Xia.

The housekeeper complied, the master had ordered that the young master was solely responsible for the business matters, and the young master did whatever he said. As an old man who had been serving in the mansion, he knew his identity.

As soon as the study door was closed, Dong Leming locked the mortise lock inside, turned around and made a silent gesture to Xia Houxiang and his wife.

Then turn a piece of porcelain on the shelf, and a bookshelf close to the wall is divided into left and right halves and moves slowly, revealing the original wall.

Dong Leming knocked on the wall a few times, and after a while a small space was slowly revealed.

Dong Leming took out a fire pocket, lit a candle, and led Xia Houxiang and his wife into the secret room.

Climbing down the steps, there was a small candlestick on every other wall, and when Dong Leming lit all the candlesticks, the three of them went down to the bottom of the secret room.

Looking at the furnishings here, it is the same as the study outside.

Only some books are missing, and the rest of the desks, chairs, and four treasures of the study are all available.

At this time, the candle was lit, and the originally dark secret room was lit up.
