Chapter 387: The Banquet of the Governor's Mansion 3

The whole process of Bao Zixuan's movements and talking to people has been observed by a girl, and the purpose of the girl coming from England is very clear. is to Bao Zixuan bow down under her pomegranate skirt, only by conquering such a man can she be interested and have a greater sense of achievement.

It was not a hundred years ago, and the life of the aristocracy sometimes did not catch up with the commoners. At least they didn't have to worry about the high inheritance tax, but the nobles had to repair the castle, hire servants, and socialize all of which were a lot of expenses. It is impossible to maintain such a high quality of life without financial resources, but aristocratic families have been living more regularly since the Victorian period. The ability to make a living is a little stronger than that of the children of the Eight Banners, and it is far worse than ordinary people.

Maggie Nelson is one such girl, a viscount to be exact. It's just that this viscount is not very good, she hasn't had a formal job not long after graduating from college, and she is the only one left in the family. My father was a bastard who didn't learn much, and finally died of alcohol poisoning in the family castle. Her mother died when she was 3 years old, and it can be said that she is the only one left in the entire Nelson family. And he is a person who will go into debt if he does not change his property, and the current situation can be said to be very bad.

After learning about Joante's plan from a friend, she was very excited, after all, Bao Zixuan can be said to be the top diamond king in the world. Even the children of the British royal family may not be in demand for Bao Zixuan, after all, it is very rare to be self-made and be able to clean themselves.

Originally, Maggie Nelson had absolute confidence, but she saw that those who came with her were higher than the title she inherited. Let her know how big the competition is this time, and also understand how difficult the situation of the British aristocracy is now. Every girl has a dream in her heart, dreaming of a prince charming pursuing her, but now she is reduced to a noble girl pursuing a commoner, how ironic it is, and it also confirms how realistic society is.

Bao Zixuan knew that the face that should be given still had to be given, so he took the gift list and came to the governor and his wife.

Seeing that it was Bao Zixuan coming, MacLehose stopped talking to people. Instead, he said cordially: "Welcome, our richest man in Xiangjiang." ”

Bao Zixuan: "Your Excellency the Governor, don't say that, the main reason for coming here today is to send a blessing to Madame." Happy birthday, beautiful lady. After speaking, he handed the gift list to the entourage behind the lady.

Mrs. MacLehose smiled and said, "Thank you, Mr. Bao! I'm glad to be here today, I've heard stories about you a lot." ”

Bao Zixuan: "It seems that I have a good impression of my wife, at least the person who introduced me didn't say anything bad about me." ”

Mrs. MacLehose: "Why did you come here alone today?" ”

Bao Zixuan: "There are only two people in our family, and my mother is not in good health and rarely goes out, but she also asked me to bring her blessings to you." ”

Mrs. MacLehose: "Thank you, mother, I have read the reports about you and would love to meet this great woman. How can you say that you are also a faΓ§ade of our Xiangjiang, you can't even have a female companion every time you go out! The daughters of several good friends of mine come to Xiangjiang for vacation, and I will introduce you to them. They are all nobles, and I hope you can become friends. ”

Before Bao Zixuan could refuse, Mrs. MacLehose had already brought him to several girls and began to introduce Bao Zixuan one by one. At this time, Bao Zixuan didn't find any conspiracy, and thought it was just a kindness from his wife. So he greeted a few girls, but when he saw Maggie Nelson, he felt that his eyes lit up, this girl couldn't say how amazing it was, but Bao Zixuan looked at her very comfortably, at least it looked very pleasing to the eye, maybe Wang Ba looked at the mung beans in the eyes.

Looking at Bao Zixuan's eyes, Mrs. MacLehose was very happy. It feels like there is a door to things, but Bao Zixuan has never seen a girl like this, and he doesn't think how beautiful Maggie Nelson is.

Bao Zixuan quickly reflected it, so he said, "I'm sorry, Miss Nelson looks more like a friend of mine, and she was a little rude just now." ”

Maggie Nelson: "So I still have a good relationship with Mr. Bao! I also have a friend who looks more like you. ”

Seeing that Maggie Nelson and Bao Zixuan were chatting very closely, several other people left politely. They're fighting as a team now, and they can't hurt their teammates because they want to. It's not worth the trip to take advantage of this opportunity to find your own goals.

Bao Zixuan: "Your surname is Nelson, so I don't know who Horatio Nelson is." ”

Bao Zixuan felt that this girl was not simple at this time, after all, this kind of aristocratic temperament could not be cultivated in a short period of time.

Maggie Nelson: "Is he the first Viscount Nelson, I'm the ninth Viscount Nelson." ”

Hearing this, Bao Zixuan's mind was constantly thinking about the British Navy, which can be said to be the descendant of a generation of legends.

Horatio Nelson (29 September 1758 – 21 October 1805) was an admiral and military strategist of the British Age of Sail Battleships.

Victorious in major battles such as the Battle of the Nile Estuary in 1798 and the Battle of Copenhagen in 1801, he defeated the combined French and Spanish fleet at the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805, forcing Napoleon to abandon his plans to attack the British mainland by sea, but he was shot and killed during the battle.

In 2002, the BBC conducted a survey called "The 100 Greatest Britons", and Nelson ranked 9th. For this general, who has the reputation of "the soul of the British Royal Navy", how do you think that his descendants are not happy.

Judging from the dress of this Maggie Nelson, there is no expensive jewelry, and the clothes on her body are very ordinary, which does not match her aristocratic status, especially when she participates in banquets.

Seeing Bao Zixuan pondering, Maggie Nelson didn't bother him. He's just letting the super-rich man know himself now, and he's not sure of anything yet. If you want people to remember her, you need to keep working hard.

It was at this time that the auction of the charity dinner was about to begin. Bao Zixuan and Maggie Nelson were standing there, suddenly not knowing what to say.

The first few are ordinary things, only Chow Tai Fook's proprietress brought a pearl necklace, which is very beautiful. Seeing that all the girls present wanted it, Bao Zixuan knew that it was also a good choice to be able to get some money to get a beautiful smile.

In fact, at this time, he had already reacted a little, and the British were worried that he would not look down on ordinary girls. Now I start to introduce the down-and-out nobles to him, and I really look up to myself.

In my previous life, I stayed in England for more than ten years, and I have seen a lot of nobles in Britain who are not strong in making a living. And he seems to have heard someone introduce this Viscount Nelson, and things are very unsatisfactory. Betrayed by her husband and then abandoned, her later life was very sad.

Since the British still continue to use the beauty trick, they may not have a good time if they don't follow. It's okay to use this woman to numb the other party now, but the degree must be grasped well, otherwise it will definitely play with fire and self-immolation.

Soon the pearl necklace was called 800,000 Hong Kong dollars, which was quite suitable for his value. But after all, this is a charity auction, and sometimes everyone cares more about face.

Seeing that Zheng Yutong had already started to bargain, it was estimated that he wanted to buy things back. However, Bao Zixuan can't care so much now, the British have already begun to invest in themselves, and he can't be indifferent.

Bao Zixuan said directly: "2 million." ”

As soon as this price came out of the auction hall, there was no movement in an instant, after all, it more than doubled all of a sudden, which one is so arrogant. After seeing that the source of the voice was Bao Zixuan, everyone didn't say anything, after all, this is the richest person.

Zheng Yutong didn't want to lose face like this, especially when his daughter was still in the venue. The British woman next to Bao Zixuan looked very unhappy, there is his own daughter who is beautiful, since you can't be my son-in-law, there is nothing to say.

Zheng Yutong's nickname is shark gall Tong, but it is not called in vain, and he said very resolutely: "3 million." ”

Bao Zixuan thought about what shark gall meant, did he still want to buy it back himself. But since the price is offered, there is no turning back. It's nothing more than spending a little more.

Bao Zixuan: "5 million." ”

Zheng Yutong: "6 million." ”

Bao Zixuan: "10 million." ”

Seeing that the two of them were on the bar at the auction, didn't he say that Bao Zixuan was going to become a son-in-law with shark gall? What is the situation now, how can the two of them turn against each other.

Seeing a British beauty standing next to Bao Zixuan, everyone instantly understood something, it must be this kid who gave up in chaos. Shark gall has the same heart to find him desperately, how can he let him.

Before Zheng Yutong could ask for the price, his wife said in the direction of Bao Zixuan: "Thank you for Bao Sheng's generosity, this piece of jewelry is yours." ”

Many people want to praise Zheng Zhouyue's treatment, this is people's quality, and it is not unreasonable to follow her husband to fight the world for so many years.

Bao Zixuan: "Thank you Mrs. Zheng for cutting love, then I will be disrespectful." ”

After filling out a cheque for 10 million Hong Kong dollars, the staff delivered the pearl necklace to him. Bao Zixuan was directly handed over to Maggie Nelson next to him, which made many people look stupid.

Bao Zixuan said: "I'm very happy to be able to meet you today, a little gift is not a tribute." I have only one mother in my family, so she has a lot of similar jewelry, I hope you don't dislike it. ”
