The Elegant Life of the Maodao Family

Long.By the way, that one over there is my second daughter..."

The Dongzhi clan said this somewhat abruptly.

"Kajuko!"

He waved his hand backwards, calling out to the woman who was talking to the elegant old lady.

It was a tall woman who was different from her father, and even from a distance, she could be seen to be very elegant and refined.Called by her father, she nodded and bid farewell to the old lady, then walked towards Mao Dao and the others.The lustrous silver simple long dress suits her very well, and the way she walks is quite beautiful, so the overall look is very elegant.

"This is the second daughter Kajuko."

Mrs. Dongzhi introduced it to Mrs. Maodao proudly.

"These two are Mr. Mashima Sumato and his secretary."

Kashouko exchanged glances at Mao Dao and Koizumi with an unhurried attitude, and smiled charmingly at the corners of her lips.From Koizumi's first impression, I think she is an intellectual woman with a pretty good temperament.The make-up skills are superb, and the eye for choosing gemstones is also very tasteful.Just when Koizumi speculated that she might have a long-term experience of living overseas because of her faintly exuding European and American style, he learned his guess from the chat content after Dongzhi gave this place to Kajuko, and there were only three people left. correct.

"I spent half a year in Brussels and a year in Paris."

Kajuko said so heartily.

"Where have you been abroad?"

When Mao Dao faced a woman's question, he seemed unable to ignore the other person with a cold face, so he said lightly that he had been to England last month.It was the first time Mao Dao went abroad after his birth.

Since the two barely started a conversation, Koizumi bowed lightly and left here.Mao Dao glanced at Koizumi, but did not ask him to stay.Because this ball invited several acquaintances who needed to go to say hello instead of the lazy host, Koizumi couldn't always follow Mao Dao's side closely.This is what happens every time.

The number of invited guests tonight is particularly large, not only the main hall, but even the outside of the double door and the elevator hall are full of well-dressed gentlemen and ladies.It seems to be for the [-]th anniversary celebration ball, trying to make it as exaggerated and eye-catching as possible.

Koizumi walked around the venue for a week, greeted more than ten acquaintances and briefly greeted them, and chatted with three people for about 5 minutes, and only spent a little longer chatting with the second son of the Ogata family than ordinary people. .

"Just now I saw Mr. Mao Dao with a beautiful woman. It's really strange."

Ogata Kyo asked Koizumi easily.No matter how much gossip is said, from his point of view, it is surprisingly not annoying, and even has a hint of innocence.He is an out-and-out young master, and he is also the one who likes whimsical things the most.Because he is actually older than Mao Dao's, people can't help but envy his charming and unrestrained personality.

"I think you should know that it is the daughter of the Dongzhi clan."

"Ah, that's right. Is it the second daughter?"

It took three or ten minutes to leave Mao Dao's side, but because Koizumi is familiar with Mao Dao's gentleman's attitude, he would not be cruel to ignore women, so I think Mao Dao might still stay with her by the grand piano and say indefinite.

Koizumi said: "Then see you next time." Ending the conversation.

"I'll go say hello to Mr. Maodao later."

Ogata Kyo replied in this way.

"But because there are so many people tonight, if there is no way to meet, can you please tell him to invite him to play in the store again?"

"I see."

The so-called shop refers to the members-only bar that he runs almost based on interest.It is one of the rare places that Mao Dao, who is not very attached to things, likes.

Koizumi returned to the place where Mao Dao was left just now, but they seemed to have moved to another place, there was no one there, and most of the people around the piano had changed, but because Koizumi didn't have to stay tight all night. I followed Mao Daoshi, so I wasn't too nervous.Mao Dao must still be in the venue.

When he was looking for the figure of Mao Dao while walking in the arena, he inadvertently ran into Dong Zhi who was walking obliquely in front.

"Oh, Mr. Koizumi."

Dong Zhishi opened his arms wide to the point of exaggeration, and made an exaggerated voice like acting.

"Are you alone?"

Koizumi suppressed the feeling of wanting to smile wryly, and nodded as nonchalantly as possible.

"That's just right. Actually, I have something I want to ask you to take a look at. It's a celadon vase. I heard that although Mr. Koizumi is still young, you have a very accurate eye for appraising works of art. Please do me this favor."

"No, I'm just appreciating antiques purely out of interest..."

"That's all right, that's enough. I guess you may come to participate tonight, and you have brought the china beforehand."

Dongzhi's positive and enthusiastic attitude was unusual, Koizumi couldn't help being led by his nose, and the atmosphere felt hard to shirk.

"Please go this way, Mr. Koizumi, it will only take up a little bit of your time. My secretary will take you to the guest room on the seventh floor, please go and have a look."

From Koizumi's standpoint, he can only obediently obey Dong Zhi's request.

Although thinking about it in a flash, where is Mao Dao?But because he was taken to the waiting room to meet a thin man named Mikimoto, he had to take the elevator with him.

Mikimoto is one of the secretaries of the Dongzhi clan, and he seems to be nearly ten years older than Koizumi.He seems to be a person who is not very good at chatting, except for a few times of sincere apology when he greeted him at the beginning, he fell into complete silence.Koizumi felt that this silence was inexplicably uncomfortable, and when the elevator reached the seventh floor and opened the door, he finally couldn't help but initiate a conversation.

"Have you been Dong Zhi's secretary for a long time?"

Mikimoto seemed taken aback by Koizumi's words, it seemed that he had been thinking about something just now.

"Huh? Ah, yes."

"This way please." Mikimoto replied a little stiffly while leading the way through a long corridor ahead.Although he didn't know the reason, he seemed nervous when facing Koizumi.

Even so, Koizumi still has a good impression of Mikimoto. In addition to the way he speaks and his attitude gives people the impression of being polite and polite, even if the two of them just walk side by side, he has a certain degree of intuition. Feelings like "like fate", but Koizumi can feel Mikimoto's frankness and sincerity from the first impression.

"I'm very sorry for making such an absurd request all of a sudden."

Mikimoto seemed to feel very embarrassed towards Koizumi from the bottom of his heart, and he also expressed apology on his face.

"If you just look at it, it doesn't matter."

Koizumi added: "It's just that I don't know if I can appraise it." I just liked antiques since I was a child, and I often spent a whole day in the collection while listening to my grandfather's experience. Very good, I dare not take it seriously.

"By the way, have you seen Mao Island?"

Koizumi tried to ask the question he was most concerned about.

"Mr. Maojima and Miss Kajuko went to the bar area together."

"That's it."

Koizumi breathed a sigh of relief for a moment.Because the other party is a woman with intellectual eyes, it may also be able to keep up with Mao Dao's special personality.Tonight, Ms. Maojima probably quarreled with his lover because of some trivial matters, and his mood seems to be much more depressed than usual. Perhaps chatting with women like Kajuko and dancing are also good ways to change his mood.

"Miss Kajuko is really a wonderful person."

When Koizumi didn't say this out of flattery, Mikimoto was speechless for a moment, but then he began to speak enthusiastically, making it hard to believe his reticence just now.

"She is a very good lady, active and active, she also has a courageous side to challenge things, and more importantly, she knows her own value. She will not do extravagant behaviors that do not match her status. Where's my money!"

Mikimoto seemed to have feelings of respect and admiration for Kajuko, once he started to speak, the words seemed to flow out of his heart one after another.

Koizumi nodded while listening to his compliment to Kajuko, his eyes were attracted by Mikimoto's flushed face.

He should be about 35 years old, and he was as excited as a junior high school student. Koizumi didn't feel artificial in Mikimoto's emotions, and felt that he was very kind.This kind of man who is too simple and doesn't know the point of doing things is very interesting to someone who is too shrewd like Koizumi.

"...She and Mr. Maodao may be a good match."

Mikimoto seemed to have finally realized that he had talked too much, and ended the topic with this sentence.

Koizumi could only smile vaguely.Mao Dao already has a secret lover, and that person is the only one who occupies Mao Dao's heart, but this is something only a few people know.

Mikimoto opened the door of the guest room with the key card drawn from his breast pocket, and invited Koizumi to enter the room.

On the round table in the corner of the room, there was a paulownia box wrapped in purple wrapping cloth.

When Mikimoto took out the contents of the box, Koizumi's eyes widened.It was a beautifully colored celadon that seemed to take away the soul and draw the mind into it.

I thought, where did I get this from?

Intuitively, this is a very rare masterpiece, and Koizumi couldn't help trembling with joy.

I don't know how long I have been looking at the celadon vase.

Koizumi let out a sigh of exclamation and put down the vase.

"It's a perfect work of art."

Other than that, there are no other adjectives.Both the color and the overall shape are impeccable, especially the strong and powerful base, which is a testament to the production process.
