Chapter 258: Disappointment

The birthday of the old man in the middle of the mountain was two days before the horse race, but Shi Xin still rushed over early in the morning to kowtow to the master, not only Shi Xin came, but Pan Jiaming, Xiao Feng, and Xiang Junran, who had only arrived in Los Angeles the night before, also came. Although the old man in the middle of the mountain said that he would not invite guests, these three people did not regard themselves as guests, and the old man in the middle of the mountain and Su Kang were also rare and pleasing to the eyes of these young people, but they were also happy, except that they frowned twice because of the embarrassment brought by their niece Qiu Ling.

I don't know if it's because of my sincere filial piety to my uncle, or in order to show that I am stronger than Yin Zhiruo, or to call it "crazy", Qiu Ling was particularly active on this day, and ran to the kitchen to explain all kinds of explanations "personally" to the anti-guest, and was busy in the hall where Zhiruo's sister and brother were preparing to celebrate the birthday of the old man in the middle of the mountain, Shi Xin and a few people ran to the front to greet her, for fear that no one would know that she was the niece of the old man in the middle of the mountain.

That's it, rushing to stand in front of Zhiruo, the owner of the plum village, to greet the guests, although it is rude, but it can barely be said to be the birthday of her uncle, as a close junior, she is too excited and enthusiastic about the guests who come to celebrate the birthday.

However, what's the matter with being a nymphomaniac at Master Xiang? A pair of eyes are wide open, eager to stick to others. If it weren't for Yueji, who was following her, she couldn't help but quietly pull her sleeve, Zhiruo was really worried that she would drip in public. Xiang Junran is good-looking, as for it?

Fortunately, Qiu Ling seemed to be quite dedicated, and after the amazement of Young Master Xiang, there were no other inappropriate actions, and she circled around Shi Xin wholeheartedly like she did when she was in Jiangnan, and even more directly, which made Pan Jiaming and the three of them look different. It also made the old man in the middle of the mountain who had just loosened his brow black again.

Shi Xin couldn't say anything on his lips, but the ice cube face that didn't have any smile seemed to be even more cold to Qiu Ling, and in Rudong's words, there was no warmth in his eyes.

Zhiruo shook his head secretly, if Qiu Ling didn't help herself, or if she had some big trick or even her life in the hands of the so-called lord, it would be a great loss to be so stubborn and annoying. Originally, it was against Qiu Ling who was the niece of the old man in the middle of the mountain, and the three Shi Xinshi brothers. and her sister and brother could not have treated the mother and daughter badly. Even if they are raised, what is the difficulty of preparing a dowry in the future? From the old man in the middle of the mountain, Shi Xin, Qi Haotian, to their Yin family, they will not care about this bit of silver, but they are afraid that the dowry will be more generous than that of ordinary official girls.

And now, even the old man in the middle of the mountain, who is closest to Qiu Ling, is disgusted with her. Not to mention others. The gains outweigh the losses!

is different from the attitude towards Qiu Ling. Shi Xin was much closer to Zhiruo's sisters and brothers, and he had the demeanor of a senior brother before he arrived in Meizhuang. After kowtowing to the master, he began to test the martial arts of the Mingze brothers, and even Xiao Zhixuan, who had just practiced martial arts with the old man in the middle of the mountain, did not let go.

Zhiruo is a big girl after all, Shi Xin didn't have much contact with her, but just glanced at her deeply when they first met, and said in a deep voice: "Miss Yin, you have done a good job, and you have taught your younger brothers and sisters very well, just like that, you can't hide from what you should come, and you always have to live a good life." ”

Shi Xin didn't say much, and what he said sounded simple and ordinary, but combined with the words he taught and instructed the Mingze brothers, Zhiruo could feel his kind support and a kind of ...... Position. knew that what she wanted to do was not an ordinary thing, she could only rely on her siblings to be self-reliant, and she never thought about relying on anyone, and there were not so many people who could make her trust. Therefore, she doesn't ask for much, as long as she has this attitude. The right time and place are right, and at the critical moment, this attitude may be able to achieve a key boost.

The birthday of the old man in the middle of the mountain was low-key, but there was no lack of excitement and warmth, and the high-profile horse race banquet was not as lively as everyone expected.

During the preparation period, the sensational Xishan Racecourse Horse Race Banquet was held on the day of the eventual calm and did not make any big waves, which made a group of people waiting to listen to the lively gossip extremely depressed.

Doesn't it mean that the four princes pretended to be public and private, and went to Los Angeles to come to the "small draft"? Didn't it say that the last time the horse race was ruined by the horse crashing incident, this time the daughters continued to compete vigorously for the position of the British princess's wife? Didn't it mean that Xiang Dashao, who was both rich and beautiful, fell in love with a certain young lady in Los Angeles, so he rushed to participate in the horse racing banquet again? Doesn't it mean that even the example of Xiao, who voluntarily gave up his career and became Pan Shizi's follower, is the target of many wealthy businessmen?......

It is said that three women in one play, so many girls who are ready to move, plus the rich and noble children led by four radiant golden unmarried men, why don't they have any stories at all......? It's not as good as the last Ning family horse race, that time there was a thrilling story of the Qingyuan Marquis Mansion girl fighting for beauty and fighting under the horse's hooves, isn't it?

As a result, the horse race banquet became the most boring and insipid event in the mouths of many ordinary people, and it was like a gust of wind in two days, almost silent.

Rudong was puzzled: "Isn't it quite lively? Doesn't it mean that there are a few young masters and young ladies who are very outstanding?" For example, Qiu Yanran and the British princess Pan Jiajin. Qiu Yanran is ashamed of the snow, it is said that even the prince of Zang Yu is full of praise, Princess Thea also pulled her to compete, although the two are comparable, but, can be on par with the princess of the Tibetan Kingdom who has used horses as toys since childhood, Qiu Yanran is really in the limelight.

And Pan Jiajin is a dark horse, which was silent, but this time it is a big show. Of course, it's a little worse than Pan Jiaming, the problem is, everyone didn't expect him to ride and shoot before, right?

Although no one in Meizhuang participated in the horse race, Pan Shizi would come to visit his sister every day, and play with Shu Ling and Zhixuan for about half an hour, the two little girls were curious at the age, and naturally chattered and asked a lot of questions on the day of the horse race, such as who had the most beautiful riding costume? Who ran first? Who won the talent show? Who did the emperor and queen give the colorful flowers for the horse race?

And Pan Shizi has great patience with the two little girls, not only knowing everything and answering everything, but also adding various exaggerated and figurative demonstrations with his hands and feet, causing the two little ones to open their eyes wide, or open their mouths in shock, or giggle happily......

Because Pan Shizi's wonderful performance attracted a lot of maids, one learned to listen to the other, and the horse racing banquet brought a lot of fun to Meizhuang, and even they felt the excitement.

At this time, I heard that the horse race banquet was "bland", how could Rudong not feel strange?

Zhiruo smiled and shook his head: "What does the excitement and excitement in the venue have to do with those who have never had the opportunity to participate in such activities in their lifetime? They don't care who plays the piano and the horse is fast, or who is in the limelight, those are too far away from them, it is better to make some contradictions, make some troubles, and even break out one or two scandals, which really add some gossip and jokes to them after dinner." "What's more, this horse race banquet is led by the imperial court, involving princes and princesses, and foreign guests, but it is different from the party held by the Ning family, even if there is any "lively" happening, I am afraid that it will be suppressed, how can it be spread?

"That's right," Rudong sighed, but not for those who didn't wait for the gossip, what suddenly occurred to her was that her girl's riding skills had always been excellent, and she used to be quiet and didn't like to be in the limelight, but now she ...... , I don't know when I will have the opportunity to participate in the grand event of the noble circle again.

Ruchun felt the same way, and naturally saw Rudong's thoughts at a glance, and interrupted with a smile: "It's okay if there is no gossip to talk about them, now the streets and alleys are talking about what the egg tart is, and some people say that it is an egg tower, which is to carve the boiled eggs into a pagoda shape, hahaha." "It is said that a skillful chef actually came up with the egg tart dish, and many people really came to order it.

Knowing that if you "poof" a smile, people's imagination is really endless, and businessmen know how to take advantage of opportunities and situations to make money. However, dim sum did greatly stain the light of the horse race banquet this time.

The gossip stories are gone, but the egg tarts and milk tea that made a stunning appearance in the horse race banquet are becoming more and more "dynamic", and the people who have eaten them are still unsatisfied, so they sent someone to Dim Sum on the same day to ask when they can buy it and whether they can book it first. People who have never tasted it are more and more itchy, and every day there are people in the shop urging them to hurry up and launch new products, since they are vacated, why not hurry up and sell them for money? What a waste!

The difference is that those sponsorships are free, spending money to earn shouts and fame, and she made a lot of money in this horse race, and the price is the same as the retail price in the store, and not a single copper plate is missing.

Knowing that when the master and servant were full of interest for a snack, in the Aomei Pavilion not far away, Qiu Ling looked unwilling and depressed: "Yueji, I ...... Are we really moving out and not going to Beijing?" According to her meaning, since it is good to move out of Meizhuang and go to the capital, they are orphans and widows who have arrived in the capital alone, can the uncle really ignore them? Shi Xin can really turn a blind eye? Even if he really has no interest in her, because of her reputation and popularity, he has to quickly take them into Shifu, right?

As long as she enters the mansion, with her gentleness and carefulness and Ah Xing's well-behaved and cute, the mother and daughter are a pair of pleasing beauties, and they are afraid that they will not be able to win the favor of the upper and lower levels of the Shifu, especially the old lady Shi? Doesn't Yueji say that the old lady Shi does not like Mrs. Shi, that is, Shi Xin's wife Nie Shi? When the time comes, I am afraid that if she does not have to fight for anything, the old lady Shi will be eager to make the decision for her. Which man does not have three wives and four concubines? Which mother would want her son to guard only one daughter-in-law, or someone she doesn't like?

Yue Ji sneered coldly: "Enter Beijing? Do you think you will be able to enter Shifu if you enter Beijing? Without the support of the old man in the middle of the mountain, you are nothing." On the day of the birthday banquet, wasn't the attitude of the old man in the middle of the mountain obvious enough? Wasn't Shi Xin's alienation obvious enough? Where did she get the confidence, and she still thought that as long as she entered Beijing, she would be able to enter Shifu to be Shi Xin's woman......?

PS: Sorry!
