(024) Game rules
Yun Xiangrong was in a trance, and he didn't hear anyone else talking, but he saw Xibao pointing at him, and then he came back to his senses.
"Oh, I want to give it away." Xibao said.
"Xiangrong, this dress was brought from Jiangnan, right?" Roy asked.
Yun Xiangrong reacted at this time, and the girls just now should be discussing the clothes on Xibao's body. Everyone was dressed in the same way. In such a contrast, it seems that Xibao is particularly beautiful tonight, like a fairy who fell from the sky to the mortal world.
Jiang Xinxin saw that Yun Xiangrong was a little distracted, and hurriedly answered: "No, it was me and Rong Rong, plus the two maids in the family, who fought for three days to do it. ”
Jiang Xinxin's expression was exaggerated, Xibao knew that the Yun family was an imperial businessman, thinking that this was a dress brought to the capital from Jiangnan, but at this moment he knew that it was made by himself, and he was also very grateful, plus he was a little embarrassed, and hurriedly smiled Guan Jiang Xinxin called his sister.
Everyone had the same idea before, anyway, Yun Xiangrong said before that he would bring rouge gouache to everyone, why not bring a few more clothes, everyone is not a young lady who is short of money, let people bring things, even if people don't want money, gifts will not be less.
It's just that people do it themselves, which can't afford it, and no one mentions it anymore.
"If you like it, there is a way, to be honest, the workmanship of Xibao's clothes, although we have tried our best, but compared with the master at home, there is still a little gap, my father has a plan to open a store in the capital, and everyone must come to support after opening the store." Yun Xiangrong said.
"When will you open your store?" Roy asked.
"Next month." Yun Xiangrong said.
Does the Yun family have any plans to open a store in the capital again? Of course, a few years ago, Yun Chengyuan bought a shop in the capital, but he didn't have a good opportunity to open up business opportunities, after all, the fabrics and styles of Jiangnan clothes are completely different in the capital.
Yun Xiangrong knows about this matter, as long as he writes to his father, and asks her to bring the tailors and clothes that she has become in the family to the capital, it is a matter of minutes to open a store, and so many young ladies like Jiangnan clothes, opening a store will inevitably be a big hit.
After all, Yun Xiangrong is also half the boss of Daifang, and he also understands business things, and knows that this is a good opportunity to open a store, and he will not come again when the opportunity is not lost, so he will say with certainty that next month.
Of course, everyone is very happy, beauty is the pursuit of all women, and they have to book in advance. Yun Xiangrong assured one by one that the clothes made first must be those of all of you.
The ten girls laughed and returned to the hall to begin their meal.
"The kitchen has prepared a hot pot, and if you want to eat it, you can bring it to you at any time." Xibao said.
Although it was early summer and the weather was not very cool, it was getting dark, and everyone wanted to eat something hot, so everyone agreed to ask someone to bring the hot pot to it.
Xibao went out and told the maid guarding the gate to go to the kitchen to get the hot pot, everyone had an agreement before, not to take the maid, even the host of the banquet is the same, the maid can only stay at the gate.
Soon the hot pot was on the table, and the squeaking of the charcoal fire and the gurgling sound of the hot soup were very comfortable.
The dishes are very rich, in addition to beef and mutton, there are hairy tripe, shrimp, kelp, tofu, bean skin, fungus, mushrooms, radish, cabbage, spinach, etc., and there are more than a dozen kinds of vegetables alone.
The chef knows that these little girls love beauty, and they don't eat big meat at night, and the meat is just for show, and in the end it must be off the table as it is, and everyone must eat vegetables.
After the servants left, Xibao spoke: "Everyone eat something first, and the exciting show time will start in a while." ”
Yun Xiangrong was a little puzzled, just these girls, do you have any other performances? So he asked Jiang Xinxin, who was sitting on the side, in a low voice: "Xinxin, what is the next show?" Although the voice was not loud, it was still heard by Xibao next to him.
"Xinxin, you didn't even talk to Xiangrong? Are you unprepared for this? It won't be without a show, right? Xibao said suspiciously.
Yun Xiangrong was confused, he had to prepare a show for the birthday banquet, Jiang Xinxin really didn't tell him.
"She just arrived in the capital, and no one knows her yet, how to prepare the show, don't be embarrassed." Jiang Xinxin said.
In fact, Jiang Xinxin had hesitated before, whether to tell Yun Xiangrong about preparing for the show, but as far as she knew about Yun Xiangrong, she didn't understand gossip at first glance, and she was afraid that after she said it, Yun Xiangrong would not be able to go. In the end, it was decided not to say.
Speaking of the degree of gossip, it is difficult to explain clearly, and only those who have participated in it can understand.
"Whoever said that there must be gossip in the capital, Jiangnan can also do it, as long as it is interesting." Xibao said.
"Next time, you have to let people know the rules, or it won't be fun." Jiang Xinxin said.
Xibao Bao and Yun Xiangrong said: "Every time we have a birthday banquet, there is a fixed program, this program is only available on the birthday banquet, that is, to tell a gossip that you think is the most interesting, whether it is true or not, the most important thing is that it is interesting, the rule is, anything that has been said here, you are not allowed to mention it again when you leave this house, and there are men gossip who must say their names, and women gossip who do not say their names, after all, there are many opportunities to meet in the future to avoid embarrassment." ”
Yun Xiangrong will understand why they are not allowed to bring maids, just because this kind of words can't be passed on. This game is interesting and understandable, after all, they are all noble girls raised in the family, and talking about other people's gossip is the most uneducated behavior.
But a lot of the time, if you don't let me do anything, I just want to do it, and that's why there are games like this. Everyone wears the costumes of noble ladies to the party, in fact, it is also to hide people's eyes, so that the elders in the family will be very supportive.
After all, the girls we meet are all beautiful girls in the eyes of the elders, models of virtue, who would have thought that a group of little girls would actively get together, just to be able to gossip.
"Okay, I understand, you will say it in a moment, I want to think of something interesting, I will say, if not, I will definitely prepare well next time." Yun Xiangrong said cautiously.
"Okay, let's not count this time." Xibao said.
Everyone started to eat, but they weren't hungry, so they simply ate a few bites. I'm looking forward to gossip time.
"According to the rules, people who start gossiping at the birthday point will start with you and want to end it, if there is no gossip, I will end it." Xibao said.
"Let me start, I'm nothing, but I'm really afraid that after everyone listens to me finish this gossip, the whole person will be bad." Jiang Xinxin said very deeply.
Wang Jiaying, who was sitting next to her, said: "Xinxin, don't be like this, it's very unappetizing, okay?" ”
"Okay, I solemnly swear, the gossip I said about Jiang Xinxin today is not gossip at all, because it is the truth." Jiang Xinxin said.
"Don't be so bits and pieces, get to the point." Xibao urged.
"Actually, the birthday gift I prepared for Xibao before was not the night pearl, I know that she likes Liu Qingyang very much, not only her, but many girls in the capital, including me, also like him very much, as long as he publishes a poetry collection, everyone will buy it, originally he was not so popular in the capital, so he was bought by a few of us." Jiang Xinxin said.
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Liu Qingyang is the hottest poet in Beijing in recent years, but all new poetry collections, the first edition is difficult to buy, and the basic bookstore will be sold out when it arrives, many people will buy three copies, one that is often read, and two books that are treasured.
The poetry collections are all love poems, expressing a man's obsession with a woman's love, the lovesickness of parting, the misery of being abandoned by a woman, and the unswerving belief in love, which can fully satisfy the unmarried woman's yearning for love.
It is said that at present, many men in the capital write love letters, and they will excerpt Liu Qingyang's poems. What's even more exaggerated is that the rich son can't write love poems by himself, and he deliberately paid a high price for Liu Qingyang to write it.
"This time my father went to Yangzhou to meet friends, it is said that it is Liu Qingyang's hometown, I specially asked my father to find Liu Qingyang, sign a collection of poems, and come back to give Xibao as a birthday gift." Jiang Xinxin said.
"As for the gift, why don't you give it to me? Still haven't found anyone. Xibao asked eagerly.
"Liu Qingyang is very easy to find in the local area, and I have got my signature, and I have signed a lot of copies, but I have torn them up." Jiang Xinxin replied calmly.
"Is he so ugly that you can't accept it?" Wang Jiaying asked.
"His original name is Liu Tiedan, I can accept this, I don't care about his appearance at all, and don't everyone admire his talent? My father said that he was okay, but he was very thin. Jiang Xinxin said.
"Then why did you tear up your signature?" Xibao asked suspiciously.
"He is a scumbag who has been in the Qinglou all the year round, he used all the money we used to buy a poetry collection in the Qinglou, the elderly and children in the family don't care at all, it is said that he doesn't even give silver, and his wife supports her son by sewing clothes for others. This kind of person can actually like his poems very much, do you say that we are sick? Jiang Xinxin said angrily.
Luo Yi is the daughter of Dr. Yushitai, he has been very calm since he was a child, he doesn't believe in ethereal love poems, so he didn't like Liu Qingyang, so he said objectively: "Actually, this is not unexpected, you think, how can there be so many emotions when you make up love verses all day long, normal people live at home, tea, rice, oil and salt, he needs to sell love to make money, so he must live in Qinglou." ”
"I can understand the need for work, but I can't accept it, he doesn't care about his wife and children." Jiang Xinxin said.
"Xinxin, do you think there will be a misunderstanding here, such as duplicate names or something." Xi Bao asked, still retaining a glimmer of hope.
"Don't be funny, everyone in Yangzhou knows this, if you don't believe me, you ask Brother Yan Fei to write a letter to Yangzhou Mansion Yin, you don't need to send someone, you will immediately know the truth that is more realistic than what I said." Jiang Xinxin said.
