233 Love & Roses
As soon as Wan Yue returned to the mansion, she was taken aback by Xiao Nan, he was already able to go downstairs by himself.
Looking at Xiao Nan, who was newly dressed and put on a prosthetic leg, and only used a cane to maintain balance, Wanyue asked, "Thirteen Shao, where are you going?" ”
"Miao Feng suggested that I exercise more, and I'm going to go out for a walk." Xiao Nan said.
"We're going to see the most famous racecourse in Shanghai and bet on it." Miao Feng said, "Tomorrow I will go to participate in the preliminary round of some martial arts competition, Xiao Nan said to try my luck first." ”
"What does your participation in races have to do with horse racing?" Wan Yue was confused.
"It's just fun." Miao Feng said, "Xiao Nan said that we don't have much cash on hand, so let's go earn some pocket money." ”
"Okay, be careful, I'm going to do something else." Wanyue said.
In this way, they divided into two roads, and the carport in the yard had Xiao Nan's private car, and Miao Feng could drive. Xiao Nan now doesn't need to use a wheelchair at every turn, which is a lot lighter. It was not so much to see the racetrack, but rather that Miao Feng forced Xiao Nan to come out for a ride.
In fact, Xiao Nan himself also wanted to go and see the excitement.
Betting on horses, once a well-known gambling industry in Shanghai, every day at the door is full of people, in addition to the lively, there is not much convenient for the disabled, inside and outside the steps are also a lot. Miao Feng had to hold Xiao Nan's waist and help him go up the stairs - Xiao Nan's right leg prosthesis was all driven by his waist and hips, which looked very clumsy. Miao Feng not only supported his waist, but also helped him lift his prosthetic leg from time to time and bend Xiao Nan's artificial knee.
In this way, Xiao Nan found his seat with great difficulty. After sitting down, Xiao Nan began to study the booklets he bought at the racecourse, which were full of instructions for betting and an introduction to horse racing. With this booklet, they can decide which horse to bet on to win.
Xiao Nan is a complete layman about this, in his opinion, all horses look similar, even if they know horses very well, they may not be able to bet right, in Shanghai, there are too many cats in this "game".
So Xiao Nan cheated, he secretly took off his glasses and used the "Eye of Fuxi" to observe the booklet, it stands to reason that the Eye of Fuxi with endless possibilities is not used like this, but for Xiao Nan, no one has said that these eyes cannot be used to bet on horses.
The Eye of Fuxi not only has the powerful power of demagogic minds, but also can temporarily foresee the future, and even penetrate people's hearts, if ordinary humans are endowed with such eyes, their brains will explode in less than half a second.
Xiao Nan is obviously abnormal in some ways.
After choosing the horses, Xiao Nan handed the booklet he had drawn to Miao Feng to bet on.
"You bet with the Eye of Fuxi, right?" Miao Feng could see Xiao Nan's small movements clearly.
"What about it?" Xiao Nan said trickly, "Did someone say it can't be used?" ”
"Nope." Miao Feng snorted, "You can be regarded as breaking your oath with Emperor E, right?" Abuse of Fuxi's power. ”
"it, am I using this ability to do messy things? I'm just betting on a horse, a total of a few thousand oceans, will these thousands of oceans lead to the destruction of the world? Xiao Nan also repudiated it with words.
"So what horse are you betting on? Now that we all know the result. Miao Feng said.
"The fun of the game is precisely cheating." Xiao Nan cupped his glasses and said, "You won't understand." ”
"No wonder you're playing games with so much color." Miao Feng cut it.
When he went to bet, Miao Feng also bought cream popcorn by the way, and at this time, there were already all kinds of trendy snacks in Shanghai.
The atmosphere of the betting racecourse was really warm, as soon as the horse race came out, many people on the seats around them stood up and shouted excitedly, or shouted or applauded, Xiao Nan also wanted to stand up and see, but his legs were inconvenient to sit up and sit, so he had to give up.
When the crowd blocked his vision, Xiao Nan casually looked left and right, and saw two women and a man talking and laughing in the seat not far away, so Xiao Nan took off his glasses again and used Fu Xi's eyesight to observe carefully - incredible, the people he saw this time turned out to be the coachman's wife Huang Guizhi, the seventh young grandmother, and the handsome man he had seen in the restaurant!
It's really fateful to see them again. In the dark, it seemed that he wanted to witness the process of his seventh young master being greened, only to see that the seventh young grandmother and the man were quite hot, and even the hands of the two were tightly clasped together, and from such a distance, they could see the love between their eyes.
At this time, the horse race finally reached the finish line, some people cheered and some people were down, Miao Feng, who had been standing up to watch the horse race, patted Xiao Nan's shoulder: "We won!" ”
Xiao Nan, who was startled and focused on gossiping, was taken aback.
After receiving the check, Miao Feng whistled happily, and Xiao Nan said, "Now that we have won money, where are we going to play?" ”
"Didn't you say you were going to see what the local mall was like? You have to learn from the experience of opening a branch or something. Miao Feng said, "Go to the department store opened by foreigners." ”
"I always feel that I can meet Huang Guizhi's group everywhere I go recently." Xiao Nan said, "My pace with them seems to be in sync, why don't you change places." Let's go for a walk along the banks of the Huangpu River, which is also a classic attraction. ”
"Okay, but don't blame me if you're cold and sick again." Miao Feng grabbed his waist and helped him out of the seat.
The best view of the Huangpu River is not as beautiful as it was built in the 21st century, and at this time there is only a row of railings to block it, and you can still see many boats on the river, and even many private fishing boats.
At this time, there were still many fishermen living in Shanghai Port, living by hard work and casting nets every day, and some fishermen lived on their own boats, known as water people. They catch fish for freshness, and often set up stalls on the shore to sell them, and Miao Feng and Xiao Nan stop to see the scenery, not far from the low part of the embankment, is such a small fish market.
Xiao Nan said: "We might as well go and have a look, and by the way, buy some fresh fish and go back to change the taste." ”
The two of them slowly walked to the fish market, this distance, Miao Feng could walk in a moment, but Xiao Nan could only step by step carefully, and he could only accompany Xiao Nan.
If there weren't so many distractions and ambitions in this world, if he and Xiao Nan were just ordinary people, or if they followed Xiao Nan slowly to buy fish like this, it wouldn't be bad.
As soon as they arrived at the fish market, the two saw that there was a fishmonger who had hung a banner with great fanfare, which read "An Qing's mother's family sells fish here" to attract customers.
Unexpectedly, An Qing turned out to be a fishing girl from a water family. Xiao Nan was a little curious, so he went up to inquire, only to see that the fish seller was an old woman who looked scathing and mean, with a few half-year-old children.
Xiao Nan just asked: "Who are you from An Qing, the queen of songs?" The woman began to nag dissatisfiedly, saying that An Qing had forgotten her roots, and now that she is famous, she will not come to subsidize the family, and she will not let people know what her background is, and in order to make a living, their family has to hang this ungrateful girl as a signboard.
And when Xiao Nan went to other stalls to ask, those honest stall owners told Xiao Nan that An Qing was a good girl who was helpful, but she had a ruthless stepmother, her father died early, and her stepmother brought a few children, and she insisted on letting An Qing be a singer for money, An Qing became famous, so she went to the door of the performing arts company to make trouble and ask for money.
An Qing has only been famous for a few days, how could it be possible to immediately take out the three thousand yuan of ocean she wanted. So the queen mother was so angry that she hung up such a signboard.
These people are relatively ignorant, they don't know how to poke the media, and they only know how to put a banner at the door of their homes, and the information flow in this era is not very fast, if it is discovered by the entertainment paparazzi in the future, then An Qing's reputation will be completely ruined-
Because the "personality" arranged by the entertainment company for An Qing is that she is a famous family, in order to increase her worth.
"These people, just like Wanyue's uncles and aunts, are insatiable." Miao Feng listened and said, "Even if An Qing becomes popular, she can't get rid of being sucked by them." Don't be compassionate, in this world, you can't finish this kind of thing, not to mention, you have the magic power to make people crazy, if you give these people a hand, it seems that An Qing has been relieved, but in fact, they don't know what trouble to find out.
You will twist their fate and send them to hell. ”
"But I think that if they are doing this here, sooner or later they will bring trouble to An Qing, so I can help or help. After all, An Qing is also an acquaintance of mine, and she is also an artist I am supporting now. Xiao Nan is really "dead and unchangeable".
Miao Feng said: "That's good, but don't go too far." I'll go and tell them for you. ”
Without waiting for Xiao Nan to react, Miao Feng turned around and went to the stall of the stepmother, pulled the banner directly, and said, "Don't sell fish here, I am a person sent by Boss Anqing, you come with me." ”
So Xiao Nan took a turn from the outside, and even brought back several fishermen with a fishy smell on their bodies, which attracted the attention of the servants in the mansion.
And Wanyue was not in the mansion at this time, so Xiao Nan casually called a maid who had been with her for a long time and asked her to call Huang Guizhi.
Huang Guizhi was still a little unclear after being called - the thirteenth young man had never summoned her, but suddenly said that he wanted to give himself an important "errand", and when she hurriedly came to the Xiao Mansion from the hotel where she is now staying, she didn't even have time to ask for peace, Xiao Nan said: "Ms. Huang, you have been doing very well recently, many of my subordinates say that you are very capable, in this case, I have a few relatives and friends here, you can help arrange their new residence and solve the problems of work and life for them." The money will be reimbursed by the Xiao family, and you can just make an account. ”
"Thank you young master for reusing, it's just that I'm just an accountant, isn't this kind of thing a bit overstepping my authority?" Huang Guizhi still wanted to shirk. She is now busy with Zhang Luoqi's grandmother's affairs, and she doesn't know how much benefit she has made, how can she be willing to do this kind of thing to deal with poor fishermen?
"If there is anything that is overstepping or not overstepping, I said you can do it, then you can do it. Let's get to work. Xiao Nan arranged like a boss. After that, he said to An Qing's stepmother's family: "This Ms. Huang will be fully responsible for your family's affairs in the future, and you can ask her for anything." ”
"Ouch~ You're just good at talking~ not like those under you! Thank you, sir! The queen mother smiled and said that she only regarded Xiao Nan as the boss of the acting company.
Huang Guizhi was very unconvinced, her mouth deliberately pursed, and she showed a disgusted gesture towards these people. Since she took over the finances of Xiao Nan's warehouse, she found out that Xiao Nan actually didn't care much about her finances at all, she didn't know how much she had deducted from it privately, so she felt more and more that the rumors outside were wrong, where Xiao Nan was a "business wizard", in fact, he was a hands-off shopkeeper who didn't care about money at all.
Instead of letting that money mold in the treasury, let yourself use it. So this very ambitious woman used Xiao Nan's money to invest without authorization, and encircled the seventh young grandmother who had a maiden relationship in Shanghai, and followed her to an old lover of the seventh young grandmother - a financial person who is said to have done well in Shanghai's financial industry.
It was because of her unscrupulous transfer of funds that Xiao Nan couldn't get cash at the moment, so she had to gamble on horses to cash out.
Even at this point, Xiao Nan didn't pull out Huang Guizhi's giant rat and let her jump.
Xiao Nan didn't know how much money Xiao Nan had, but Huang Guizhi knew it. The money Xiao Nan has in his own hands is not as rich as the Xiao family's overall wealth, but it is definitely a lot. Huang Guizhi was dizzy just busy transferring money around these days, and he couldn't understand how Xiao Nan arranged his inexplicable errand.
just led the family out of the mansion, she asked a few words casually, and suddenly found that these people were the queen of the song An Qing's mother's family, didn't Xiao Nan have a singer recently, just called An Qing?
Huang Guizhi suddenly realized that the old woman who was covered in fishy smell was actually Xiao Nan's "mother-in-law"?
So, Thirteen Young still reuses his own? How did he remember to reuse himself?
Huang Guizhi didn't doubt why Xiao Nan would so easily call her finances to be in charge of an outsider like her, she couldn't figure it out.
A series of things have happened recently, which made her suddenly a little frowning.
Xiao Nan, this is to break away from the Xiao family and fly solo and recruit troops! He must have heard about his name from other people, after all, in order to gain a foothold in the Xiao family and get through contacts, she spent a lot of money and made a lot of effort.
As soon as she thought so, Huang Guizhi felt that Xiao Nan was not far from death, because she thought that Xiao Nan didn't have the ability to fly alone at all. Then you have to hurry up and take advantage of Xiao Nan's complete downfall to get all the money you can get!
Since she came to Xiao's house, she has realized how condescending it is to follow a coachman to be a housewife, and she feels that she is simply a natural treasurer, making money every day!
Of course, she does have some talent in this area, and what she never imagined was that Xiao Nan didn't manage her finances just because the whole Shanghai was about to be the venue for a decisive battle between Fuxi and the evil forces of mankind, and these little money were as small as a grain of sand for this war!
——————
Wanyue really came back after eight o'clock in the evening, she handed over a large bouquet of red roses to the servant, and also changed the most fashionable hairstyle in Shanghai, a red headband, and a European dress, just from her dress, she looked like a girl who had just fallen in love.
Not only Xiao Nan, but even the servants noticed Wanyue's abnormality.
As usual, she would take a look at Xiao Nan first, and when she saw Wanyue dressed as a Hollywood star, Xiao Nan couldn't help but ask, "Wanyue, why did you suddenly change your look?" ”
"It's just a change of style." Wan Yue said, "It seems that this kind of dress is the most popular among Shanghai aristocratic ladies nowadays." She smiled as she spoke, "As for what I did today, I can't tell you yet, lest you be so kind and bad again." ”
"How could I have ruined your business." Xiao Nan said, "You can let go and do whatever you want." ”
"Then I'll give it a go." Wan Yue said with a smile.
On this day, she was not idle at all, in order to behave like a little girl who fell in love at first sight, she deliberately changed her outfit, and then went to visit the painter named "Yang Rongbo".
She had to admit that Yang Rongbo was really a person who could please women, and he could be described as a master, he spoke extraordinarily, could conduct a profound and serious analysis of various paintings, knew all kinds of world-renowned paintings and genres, and did not show a trace of hunger.
He even taught Wanyue to paint hand-in-hand in the sunlit glass ceiling studio, speaking beautiful words, and teaching her to paint fantastic pictures, and he really knew how to paint, and it can be seen from the sketches he deliberately made for Wanyue that the technique was no less than that of Jack on the Titanic.
In his sketches, Wanyue is so beautiful and moving, and when the rolled sketch is unfolded to the end, it turns out to be a bright red rose!
What girl wouldn't be moved by such a gentle romance?
If it weren't for seeing Xiao Nan and Fu Xi's fatal bewitchment, maybe Wanyue would really not be able to resist it.
That large bouquet of red roses was also given by Yang Rongbo, and he actually had a special greenhouse in his mansion to cultivate this kind of crimson roses, even if it was winter, those roses were still blooming, which showed that a lot of money was spent.
He said countless sweet words, saying that these roses were blooming for Wanyue, and he cut a lot of them to her without hesitation, and called the rose room a secret base for the two, the two listened to the dense French records in the rose room, tasted champagne, Yang Rongbo talked about his interesting experience of traveling in Europe, and so he was entangled until night, he even showed off his good cooking skills and made steaks for Wanyue to taste.
This is the day when Wanyue experienced "love came suddenly".
If you are any woman, you will think that she is favored by God and a male god descended from heaven.
