Chapter 287: Christmas Eve Six
Chapter subtitle: Everyone is here
"Hey, dude. There are a lot of people today! ”
It is said that Yuan Yanqian's three partners finally arrived at their destination - the Consulate General of the Republic of China in New York without danger. As soon as they entered the door, they found that there were really a lot of people who had come today.
Of course, according to the general routine, it should be said how big the scene of this ball is, how good the atmosphere is, and how high the grade of the guests is, however...... None of this exists.
According to Master Yuan's opinion, this charity ball is completely incomparable to the Halloween masquerade ball he attended.
Let's talk about the funds first, the costume ball run by the Baker family costs at least 10,000 US dollars, and it is difficult to say whether the cost of this dance party is in three digits.
This was originally a charity ball that really raised funds for the people affected by the disaster in China, and it was just right to hold it in a simple and simple way. If it's too extravagant, then it's not okay.
Of course, the Republic of China is now a poor dick, and the government departments are even in arrears of salaries, let alone diplomatic funds, and they really can't pay attention to it.
Next year, Huang Huilan will follow Gu Weijun to Washington to take office, and when this golden lady saw the Republic of China Legation on Portland Square, she was shocked, and that place was too broken to say that it was a bit embarrassing for the Chinese. In the end, she paid for the renovation of the legation herself. She also gave the money sent by her father to her husband to subsidize diplomatic expenses, so this Ms. Huang Huilan has indeed contributed to China's diplomatic career.
Speaking of venues, as a Wall Street tycoon Mr. Baker, you can't borrow any venues. And as a Chinese in this year, they can't borrow money to hold rallies. Wouldn't a better hotel lend its dance hall to the Chinese?
In addition, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of China allocated funds are really tight, so Luo Jiaxiang finally decided to hold a ball in his consulate.
Finally, a few words about the guests. Some of the old overseas Chinese in these years have made a fortune, but because of their background, the cultural level is not very high, and the so-called "quality" is not very good, and most of them are Cantonese. In fact, the Chinese in the later American movies and TV series are all Cantonese, which is really understandable, because even if the ancestral home of the Chinese in the United States is not Guangdong, as long as they deal with their compatriots a lot, they will speak Cantonese.
These guests are a combination of East and West.
The older guests in the venue were still wearing robes and horse coats, and most of the young people chose Western-style evening dresses. And the number of women is very rare, and there are almost no aunt-level figures. Chinese are originally male protagonists and female protagonists, and women from high-ranking families are not out of the door, and they can also bring their wives to this kind of social gathering like Westerners.
Even if the husband is more trendy and willing to let his wife show his head, those women who are deeply influenced by feudal traditions are unwilling to do so. This is one of the reasons why Seris's new generation of intellectuals likes the new and hates the old.
But there are still a few young women, and these pioneering girls are all wearing Western dresses. In these years, the Chinese women's national costume - cheongsam has not yet been born. Of course, there is our Master Yuan on this timeline, and the cheongsam will definitely appear in front of the public earlier.
The three of them observed the venue, and instead of seeing President Yuan, they saw the fifth sister of the red flag and the fourth sister of Jinfeng. So the two sides will be in one place.
"Fifth brother and fourth sister, did you come early?"
"It's not too late for the three of you to arrive."
"By the way, have you two seen Hongji?"
"No, we thought he was going to come with you. The party has begun, why hasn't he shown up yet? ”
"Little aunt, the party is about to start, and everyone is almost there. Come down with me and show up, right? ”
Wei Mingzhu said lazily: "Huilan, this ball doesn't look very interesting, it's really not as good as the ones we have participated in in Europe, I really can't be interested." ”
For Western female students like them, who were born as wealthy people in Nanyang, this dance party is indeed too shabby at the moment.
She continued unhappily: "New York is really not interesting except for shopping malls, the air is so bad and there are so many people, I want to go back to Europe." ”
Huang Huilan comforted: "Then after the New Year, we will go to Washington together." That's right......"
She asked tentatively, "What about your Mr. Lu Jifeng?" I just saw him waiting for you outside the door. ”
"Dick...... Wei Mingzhu said with a disgusted expression, "he's just a fool...... Well, not much interesting guy. ”
Even the English name is Dick, so it is conceivable that Lu Jifeng is a god-like thing. He looks like a dog on the surface, but in fact he has no ability at all, more precisely, all this ability is in one mouth. A smart woman like Wei Mingzhu can't be interested in a little contact.
This guy is still a little clever, and seeing that Miss Wei doesn't seem to like Yuan Yanqian very much, he made a lot of nonsense as he liked, and said that our Master Yuan was a playboy with all kinds of poisons.
Wei Mingzhu couldn't help but think after hearing a lot of such words, a playboy like Yuan Yanqian can still write, but can you Lu Jifeng do Dick in addition to putting a very low-level mouth cannon? So the more I look at this Dick these days, the more annoying it becomes.
Huang Huilan nodded with satisfaction, her little aunt finally has some vision. She continued to persuade: "We're all here, do you always want to meet everyone?" Even if it's for your niece's daughter, I'll be fine. ”
Her little aunt said helplessly: "Okay, then I will accompany you to fulfill the duties of the minister's wife." ”
Miss Wei Mingzhu stood up, and the maid next to her stepped forward to tidy up her clothes, and the two girls walked out of the lounge side by side......
Fourth Sister Jin Feng said with great interest: "Xiangzi, have you seen the future Mrs. Yuan?" ”
Camel Shoko, as he himself said, is a character who doesn't have a door. He sighed unabashedly and said, "Fourth sister, when Lao Yuan comes, you must mention this matter in front of him." This thing is yellow! ”
Hongqi Lao Wu thought that a few days ago, Second Master Yuan swore that he would marry this Nanyang daughter, so he immediately asked: "Ah, how can this thing be yellow?" ”
The six-fingered qin demon interjected: "Fifth brother, you don't know this. Hongxian said that he was an upright Chinese who refused to join the foreign religion alive or dead, so there was no drama. ”
Xiao Yang Shengyan also sighed and said: "Allah also persuaded Yi, it doesn't matter if you are Christian, at most you go to church once a week." Yi just doesn't listen! ”

To clarify, Murong has just been busy recently and has no manuscripts, so the update is not so stable.
But I still wrote it very coolly and hilarious.
Please rest assured, comrades, and also assure the descendants of the Heavenly Demon that unless there is force majeure like 404, it is impossible for eunuchs.
