Chapter 917: Playing with Horses
917
"There is such a saying in China, the poor play with cars, the rich play with watches, and the fools play with computers, which means that rich people are now starting to play with watches, but for foreigners, the really rich people have already passed the era of playing watches, what do people play now? Play with horses! ”
Zhao Chunliang held a cane with gold trim in his hand, and said to Qin Yue and Wu Mei beside him while walking into the grandstand area of the racecourse, as for Isabella, her understanding of horses is not much worse than Zhao Chunliang, after all, as a royal family, she also needs to learn equestrianism since she was a child, so Zhao Chunliang doesn't need to explain to her.
"How expensive is this horse?" Wu Mei asked curiously.
"It also depends on what kind of horse, such as Wimbledon in a racecourse, the worst estimate has to be a warmblood, this kind of horse is suitable for competition, but it is not the most suitable, the most suitable for competition, it is a thoroughbred, that is, the so-called hot-blooded horse, but now there are fewer hot-blooded horses, and the whole British country has two hot-blooded stallions, such as the warm-blooded horses you see in England now, almost the two hot-blooded stallions are crossed with other horses, the price of the two hot-blooded stallions is immeasurable, of course, When you get to that level, you don't have to go out to race. Zhao Chunliang explained.
"Uncle, tell me how much it's worth!" Wu Mei continued to ask.
"It's hard to say how much it's worth, but it's worth an Airbus A380 is no problem, but this kind of hot-blooded horse is generally the kind that has no price, unless it's really down to the point that there is no way to raise such a horse, otherwise the owner will never sell the horse, although I don't like these nobles in England very much, but it is undeniable that they are much better than our domestic half-baked horse level." Zhao Chunliang said with emotion.
"One of the reasons why domestic horses have not been able to get up is that the horse farm is not good enough!" Qin Yue stood beside Zhao Chunliang, looked at the huge runway in front of him and said, "Without matching facilities, there is no way for natural equestrian sports to rise." ”
"Do you know how to ride a horse?" Zhao Chunhao looked at Qin Yue curiously.
"It's a little bit, but it's only to the extent of riding a horse and walking two steps, and it's still far from galloping!" Qin Yue said with a smile.
"Women generally don't like to ride horses, they like to be ridden!" Zhao Chunliang smiled ambiguously.
Qin Yue rolled her eyes at Zhao Chunliang, indicating that she didn't want to speak.
"I'm going to see my grandmother, so let's go around first." Isabella said suddenly.
"Pay attention to yourself, and we'll be over in a moment." Zhao Chunliang said to Isabella.
"Well, good!" Isabella nodded, and walked with a few guards to the Royal Grandstand area not far away.
"Alright, let's go around." Zhao Chunliang clapped his hands and said, "You all take a closer look at these women on the scene, look at their hats, in the past, the main event was horse racing, but now it is not anymore, now it has become these hats." ”
"What a strange hat!" Wu Mei looked left and right and said, "Why do they add so many strange things to the hat?" ”
"Because on the race day, these ladies compare whose hat is strange and unique, and after the race, these people will go to the racecourse to step on the turf, according to the previous saying, the turf that the horse's hooves have trampled on again, but now this has become a way to show themselves in disguise, anyway, there are a lot of interesting things on this race day, you can take a look." Zhao Chunliang said as he took Wu Mei's hand and shook it in the stands.
Qin Yue felt that she was very much like a light bulb at this time, and it was also a high-brightness kind, but considering that she had nowhere else to go here, she had to follow Zhao Chunliang's side.
"Let me give up so many announcements, and the result is to accompany you here to watch the horse races, alas!!" Qin Yue secretly sneered in her heart, looking around from time to time, wanting to see if there was anything to look at.
"I didn't expect Chekov to really customize the hats for these two beautiful young ladies!" A voice that seemed somewhat familiar suddenly came from the side, and Qin Yue followed the prestige and saw the few people he met in the hat shop today.
"Your Royal Highness." Kenty. Marta saluted Zhao Chunliang, and the others also saluted Zhao Chunliang.
"I was looking for you!" Zhao Chunliang said with a smile, "I didn't expect you to send it to the door yourself." ”
"I saw His Royal Highness from afar, especially the two beautiful women beside His Royal Highness, who were like fireflies in the night, shining brightly." Kenty. Marta said with a smile.
"Come on, come on, I'll introduce you!" Zhao Chunliang generously pulled Qin Yue in front of him. Marta said, "This is Miss Laura, a well-known designer in my country, and the chief designer of Pudenay's high-end private tailoring!" ”
"Huh?" Kenty. Marta was stunned for a moment, and then said, "If I'm not mistaken, isn't this beautiful young lady the star, Miss Qin Yue?" ”
"Yes, this person is Qin Yue, I've seen her MV!"
"I didn't expect the real person to be more beautiful than on TV, I almost didn't recognize it!" A few followed Kentty. Marta's people said one after another.
"Mr. Earl." Zhao Chunliang said seriously, "You only know one and don't know the other!" ”
"What do you mean?" Kenty. Marta asked.
"Miss Qin Yue, many years ago, starred in a movie called Tomb Raider, and she played the heroine Laura in Tomb Raider, that is, at that time, Miss Qin Yue had a foreign name, called Laura, and over the years, Miss Qin Yue fell in love with fashion design, but she was worried that her reputation was too big, even if she made clothes, others might value her reputation rather than her ability to design clothes, so Miss Qin Yue has always used Laura's name in the clothing design industry. Of course, this is also a very secret matter, and it is impossible for people who are not at the level of ordinary people to have access to this level of news, and please keep it secret! Zhao Chunliang smiled at Kenty. Marta blinked.
"Your Royal Highness, I have always believed that you are an upright and honest person, but now, you actually use Miss Qin Yue to fictionalize a so-called Laura, this is a bit too much to play us like children, right? Even if you really can't find Laura, you just need to tell us, after all, you are His Royal Highness, and we don't dare to criticize you! "Kenty. Marta said helplessly.
"I'm fictitious or not, you can check it out." Zhao Chunliang said with a smile, "Moreover, Qin Yue played Laura as half the sky at the beginning, I think everyone present should have seen the Tomb Raider, right?" ”
"I've seen it, Count Marta, this Miss Qin Yue is indeed the Laura she plays, and she is known as the best Laura in a hundred years!" A man on the side said.
"yes, I remember she played Laura, too!" The other man followed.
Kenty. Marta's face changed slightly, and then said with a smile, "Then it seems that I am lonely and unheard, I didn't expect Miss Qin Yue to be Miss Laura, I heard His Royal Highness say that Miss Laura is a well-known fashion designer?" I wonder if Miss Laura has any works for us to learn from now? ”
"This time, I heard that His Royal Highness was questioned, and he came to England from Shenzhou in a hurry, so I didn't have time to bring anything here, but if you are really interested, I can order a dress for this beautiful lady next to you!" Qin Yue said with a smile.
"Really?" Stand in Kenty. Fiona, who was beside Marta, said in surprise, "Miss Laura, are you telling the truth?" ”
"Of course it's true!" Qin Yue nodded and said, "I came to your British Kingdom as a guest from Shenzhou, and I should have brought some gifts, but you also know that customized clothing takes a long time to make, so if you really want it, it may have to wait for a long time!" ”
"It's okay, as long as I can wear the dress you made, then even if I have to wait a little longer, I'm willing!" Fiona said excitedly.
"Your Royal Highness, I don't know how many horses you are optimistic about today?" Seeing that Fiona is about to become Laura's side, Kentty. Marta quickly changed the subject.
"How many horses are participating in today's horse race?" Zhao Chunliang asked.
"There are eight of them, all of them are warmbloods, and I am more optimistic about Flame No. 3, which is a cross between Prince Pop's hot-blooded stallion and a horse in the Middle East, and it has a very strong sprinting ability! By the way, you can look over there, where the introduction of the eight horses will be played in turn. "Kenty. Marta said, pointing to a large LED display not far away, which was now looping the situation of eight horses.
Zhao Chunliang put his hands behind his back, stared at the LED display for a long time, and then said, "I think the No. 8 horse will win the championship!" ”
"Number 8? You mean the black number 8? "Kenty. Marta asked, surprised.
"yes, what's wrong?" Zhao Chunliang asked.
"Nope!" Kenty. Marta looked like she wanted to smile and said, "I don't know why His Royal Highness chose No. 8?" ”
"Because in Shenzhou, 8 is homophonic, so in my opinion, 8 is the number of fortune, and the number 8 is naturally right!" Zhao Chunliang said matter-of-factly.
"..."Kentty. Marta tugged at the corners of his mouth and said, "His Royal Highness looks at the entry point of the horse, it is really different, but the Lord is right, now the odds of the No. 8 horse are the highest among all the horses, if you really bet heavily and win, then you can make a lot of money, if I didn't bet a million pounds on the No. 3 horse, I estimate that I would have to press the No. 8 horse, hahaha, His Royal Highness, if you are sure that the No. 8 horse can be made, then I suggest you also bet on the No. 8 horse, so maybe you will really get rich?" Hahaha! ”
