sky-high engagement

Chapter 123
In this way, young master Xiao is not only not the prince of the gangster, but also a descendant of a young general?
A cluster of fireworks exploded in Su Mo's mind, colorful in an instant.

At this moment, the 'rich second generation' was so weak in her eyes!
Military family members, well, it seems to feel very good!
Xiao Nanye looked at her wide open mouth, frowning and smirking for a while, her stupid and cute look was more and more pleasing to the eye, so she decided to add another firewood.

He glanced at the mahogany stairs with his dark eyes, and said to her in a flat tone: "A Yuan, A Ze and Han Zi, they also live here, and the four of us grew up together."

Su Mo: "..."

So these four are all grown under the red flag?
A tyrant, a doctor, a lawyer, and a childish redhead.

Su Mo took a big sip of tea, she felt that she needed to calm down.

No wonder Xiao Nanye can cover the sky with one hand in City A. It turns out that besides being rich, he also has such a profound background.

His grandfather is Xiao Zhendong!

That is one of the heroes of the founding of the country, a great hero admired by countless younger generations!
Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh.

The cup of tea soon bottomed out, and Su Mo finally couldn't help sneaking a look at him. With such a family, it's no wonder he was so flamboyant outside.

But having said that, he didn't seem very happy when he came home this time, and Aunt Liu also advised him not to fight against the old man. Could there be some inside story?
Could it be because the family education was too strict when I was a child, so I didn't like to go home?

As soon as she caught the picture of Xiao Nanye being punished to stand in a military posture, she was tapped lightly on the head, and the people around her reminded her, "If you don't know, don't guess."

Su Mo was taken aback by him, stuck out his tongue and said, just guessing if you don't know!

Not long after, Uncle Chen came down from upstairs, walked over and stood in front of Su Mo, and said to her respectfully, "Miss Su, the master is waiting for you in the study on the second floor."

This is the rhythm of being interviewed by the veterans of the revolution!
Su Mo stood up nervously, glanced at Xiao Nanye, but saw that he also stood up, took her hand and said, "I'll go up with you."

Young Master Xiao's understanding was touching. Su Mo breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that with him around, there would be nothing to worry about.

Unexpectedly, Uncle Chen spoke again, and said to Xiao Nanye with a zombie face: "The master said, he only wants to see Miss Su alone."

Xiao Nanye's face changed suddenly, and his eyes were full of defense. He pulled Su Mo and turned around to leave, "Since Grandpa is inconvenient, we will go back first."

When Aunt Liu came over from the kitchen, she saw Xiao Nanye pulling Su Mo out.

Every time the Eldest Young Master came back, he would slam the door and leave in a hurry. This was not the first time she saw her. She thought it was different this time.

"Old Chen, what's the matter? Why did the young master leave just after he arrived?"

Su Mo was also taken aback by his reaction, he held her hands tightly, as if worried that she would break free at any time, Young Master Xiao, can you stop being so willful?
When the grandson came back, he didn't even see her. Instead, he asked to see her by name.

Although she didn't know what his grandfather's purpose was, but now that she was with Xiao Nanye, she couldn't always avoid his family.

When she walked outside the door, Su Mo had already made up her mind, she tugged Xiao Nanye's stubborn arm, "Xiao Nanye, wait a minute, let me tell you why you have such a temper!"

It took Su Mo a lot of effort to hold him back. He was the one who said he would come yesterday, and now he is the one who said he was going to leave. How capricious!
Xiao Nanye looked at her expressionlessly, "You want to stay?"

Su Mo nodded, "I'll stay, and you should stay too."

I came here by car for more than two hours early in the morning, and I have to leave just after drinking tea, it's not worth it!
Looking at Xiao Nanye's face that was about to freeze, Aunt Liu was really sweating for Su Mo. This eldest young master's temper was so helpless to the old man, she really dared to provoke him.

It was scary when Xiao Nanye had a straight face, but Su Mo had long been used to it, and became immune to it after seeing it a lot.

Su Mo was more courageous now, knowing that he would not really do anything to her, so she dragged him back and pushed him down on the sofa to sit.

"Young Master Xiao, calm down."

Su Mo imitated what he had just done, and put a cup of hot tea into his hand, "Drink your tea first, and wait for me here for a while, I'll go see your grandpa."

Aunt Liu thought that Xiao Nanye was going to throw a cup, but who knew that this person just frowned, but hesitated, "Really?"

Su Mo nodded, seeing that he didn't object, she patted him on the shoulder rewardingly, "Be good!"

In a word, the corners of this person's lips were successfully raised, and all the anger just now dissipated, but the brows were still furrowed, obviously still a little worried.

The stubborn old man in his family may not be so easy to deal with.

Seeing that he kept looking at Su Mo, Aunt Liu kindly persuaded him, "Eldest young master, don't blame the master for being angry with you. Six years ago, the master forced you to get married. How are you? You only came back with this marriage certificate. But he didn't even see a shadow.

It's not easy for the man to come back, and you don't know how to bring him back to show the master. If you didn't read the newspaper a while ago, don't you plan to bring him back? "

Xiao Nanye did not speak, but followed Su Mo with her eyes, and watched her and Uncle Chen go upstairs, then put down her teacup and followed.

At the door of the study on the second floor, Su Mo took a deep breath, glanced at Uncle Chen, and gently knocked on the door under his encouraging eyes.

"Come in."

There was a thick voice from inside, and Su Mo felt her legs shaking even more, but she had no choice but to push the door open and go in.

Uncle Chen didn't follow in, but closed the door for her.

Su Mo was nervous at first, but after entering, he was attracted by the furnishings in the study.

This is just an ordinary study room, the layout is still the style of the Republic of China period, and it was only seen on TV before.

There are many photo frames hanging on the walls of the study room, some of which are old photos from the Anti-Japanese War period. After all, those memories are even more precious because they have personally experienced that era.

Su Mo didn't dare to look any further. His eyes stopped on the person behind the desk. This person had a pair of presbyopic glasses on his nose, and was sitting on a grand chair with his head lowered as if he was reading a book.

She had been in for so long, and Xiao Zhendong didn't look up at her. Su Mo panicked, opened his mouth, but didn't say a word.

It was convenient for Su Mo that he didn't raise his head. She looked at the other party with peace of mind, only to see that he was wearing a Tang suit and his white hair, which added a sense of majesty.

Even if this person sits there and doesn't speak, he still gives people a natural sense of majesty. This kind of demeanor cannot be learned.

Before I came here, I was a little worried, but now, as the time was delayed by the silence, Su Mo calmed down instead. No matter how legendary this person is, he is just an old man.

If grandpa hadn't passed away, he would have gray hair like this now, right?
Thinking of these revolutionary predecessors' contributions to the motherland, Su Mo was deeply moved, and bowed respectfully, "Hello, Mr. Xiao, I'm Su Mo, it's an honor to meet you."

The person behind the desk paused for a moment, as if he just realized that someone had come in, and slowly raised his eyes to look at her.

What kind of eyes are those!

It seems to have gone through vicissitudes, but it is still sharp and steady.

Su Mo looked at him in surprise, but didn't think there was anything wrong with doing this?
Such a person who has led soldiers to fight, experienced the baptism of life and death, and fought bloody battles for half his life, even the juniors would not dare to look directly at him like this.

Therefore, Su Mo's performance surprised Xiao Zhendong.

He took off his reading glasses, got up and walked around the desk, and stopped to look at Su Mo when he passed her, "Your name is Su Mo?"

Xiao Zhendong walked over, sat on the rattan sofa and looked at her, "Are you here with Ah Ye?"

Su Mo replied, "Yes."

Xiao Zhendong didn't let her sit down, so Su Mo had no choice but to continue standing, with no dissatisfaction or impetuosity on his expression, "Su from Gusu, foamy Mo."

She introduced her name like this, neither humble nor overbearing, neither arrogant nor impetuous.

Xiao Zhendong knew her better in his heart.

He nodded and looked at the coffee table in front of him, on which was a set of his beloved purple sand tea set. He was thinking about pouring a cup of tea, when he saw the person standing in front of him, he put down the teapot as soon as he thought about it.

"Can you make tea?" He looked up at the young girl.

Su Mo nodded, "I used to like to drink tea when my grandfather was around, so I learned a little bit."

Xiao Zhendong pointed to the seat opposite him, "Sit down and make tea."

Su Mo was not hypocritical, and sat down as promised.

She rolled up her sleeves a bit. She used to wash her hands before making tea, but there is no place to wash her hands in this study, so this step is directly omitted.

When I lifted the teapot, the water in the pot was warm, and I didn't drink any tea, which showed that the old man was trying to test her.

Su Mo smiled knowingly, first poured out the old tea in the pot, rinsed it carefully with water, then refilled the water, and put it on the alcohol stove to boil.

The teapot was not big, and the water boiled quickly. She immediately lowered the heat and lifted the tea lid. At this time, the bubbles rushed up one after another, and the water surface floated, which was the most suitable for making tea.

The first step is the warming utensils. Su Mo rinses the teapot with hot water, including the spout and lid, and also rinses the teacups at the same time, and then dries the teapot and cups.

The purpose of rinsing the tea set is to increase the temperature of the tea set itself, so that the temperature of the tea after brewing is relatively stable and prevents the temperature from dropping too quickly.

Next comes tea and brewing.

Su Mo scooped up the tea leaves with a small spoon, put them into a teacup, and poured them into boiling water according to the ratio of tea to water until the water was [-]% full.

In order to make the tea soup evenly concentrated, Su Mo deliberately tilted the teapot up and down twice.

After the tea was brewed, she filtered the tea in the teacup and poured it into another pot, and then poured it into the cup.

The tea is poured along the edge of the teacup, poured high and sprinkled low. This is done to prevent the tea aroma from evaporating too quickly.

After doing this, the last step is to serve and taste tea.

Su Mo carefully picked up the teacup and handed it to Xiao Zhendong, "Old Xiao, please drink tea."
