50 Backer
Xiao Nan spent two days peacefully.
The weather finally improved a little, and his daily routine was to study the newspaper at his desk boringly, or put his only remaining leg directly on the table, and lay on the chair decadently to empty himself.
As the weather improves, the temperature also starts to rise, and in the hot weather, you don't want to do anything.
The temperature in this era was indeed not as hot as it is in modern times, but it was very unsatisfying to feel without fans and air conditioning.
"Young master, why don't you go and lie on the bamboo chair." Ah Cheng made him a cup of tea, looked at Xiao Nan who was on his back and said. He had always thought that Xiao Nan was a personable and elegant scribe, and he didn't want him to look so loose after Wanyue and Meilan left.
Maybe it's because there are girls in front of me who are embarrassed to let go of themselves.
"No, it's good for thinking." Xiao Nan is now wearing a vest and big pants, and her hair is not taken care of, like a complete otaku.
"If a guest suddenly comes and sees you like this......" Ah Cheng looked at him wearing big pants, feeling that he didn't dare to wear it like this, and he was also missing a leg, he thought that Xiao Nan was more used to covering up the stump.
"I don't think anyone will come." Xiao Nan raised his head and looked at the sky outside the window, the sky was quite blue. Xiaoci will only come over in the evening, she is a maid after all, and she still has work to do.
There was a knock on the courtyard door, as if it had deliberately opposed him.
"Just say I'm not there." Xiao Nan reached out and closed the curtains.
Ah Cheng went to open the door and found that there was a servant outside the door, who had come to deliver the invitation, handed the invitation and left.
This invitation turned out to be sent by the brothers and sisters of the Yao family, who had been staying in the Xiao family for several days and were leaving tomorrow, so a dance party was held at the Xiao family and the young people of the Xiao family were invited to participate.
The requirement is that everyone should wear a dress.
It's a sorority. I don't know if Miss Yao did it on purpose, or if Xiaoci "helped" again, or Xiao Tianyou's help, the invitation was also sent to him.
How do you do ballroom dancing with just one leg?
After Xiao Nan saw the invitation, he felt that it was just another troublesome matter, but he was also helpless, and it just so happened that the Western-style dress he ordered was also ready.
The place where the dance was held was in the Western courtyard where Miss Yao was in the Xiao Mansion, and there was a circular swimming pool in this courtyard, and the open space outside the pool was wide enough to be used as an open-air dance hall.
When Xiao Nan, who was wearing the most popular suit at the moment, arrived, the venue had been almost decorated, like a serious aristocratic buffet ball, and the long table outside was filled with Western food and wine, as well as several layers of large cakes, like those used for wedding ceremonies.
Even the Western band was invited, and the colorful lanterns sparkled in the courtyard, and it was sure that it would be colorful at night.
Today's people are all from the younger generation of the Xiao family, and the banquet style is also relaxed European and American style, which is much more relaxed than the previous gatherings of the Xiao family.
Xiao Nan came to a small round table in the corner with a cane and sat down, and the attendant served him some wine and a fruit bowl. Ah Cheng was stopped at the door because of his low status, this place seems to be casual, and the rules are quite strict, so he can only come in by himself.
The attendant at the door also has a list of invitees, and it can be seen in the list that not every young master of the Xiao family has been invited, for example, the seventh young master has not been invited, which probably also depends on his identity.
Ah Cheng was blocked from the door as his servant, but the young masters who came one after another could bring in one or more female companions.
This kind of opportunity, if it is Xiaoci, she will not let it go, right? But she didn't come to her tonight. Xiao Nan also felt a lot quieter.
Not far from him is the irregularly shaped swimming pool, with very low street lights installed around the pool, which illuminates the pool sparkling, which is very dreamy.
With the increase in the number of guests, some people even changed into swimwear in the dressing room of the western-style building and jumped into the pool to play. Xiao Nan just glanced at it casually and was stunned.
Because he actually saw Xiao Ci in a group of swimsuit beauties!
Xiao Ci is also wearing a very sexy swimsuit, revealing the lines of her body, and when she stands up wet from the water, she looks like a mermaid.
And the one who hugged her waist and was immersed in the beauty was the second young marshal of the Yao family!
No wonder she didn't come to herself, it turned out that she had hooked up with a real backer a long time ago. Looking at the intimacy between her and the second young marshal, I am afraid that the two of them have been together for a long time.
She should have also seen Xiao Nan, and deliberately threw a wink at Xiao Nan's side.
Xiao Nan felt a chill, how old was she? It's already so desperate?!
The third young master and Xiao Nan said a word before, Xiao Nan was punished in public, the third young master died, the aftermath of this matter is still there, and the other people of the Xiao family are not better than those who do everything to get ahead, they are still quite jealous of Xiao Nan, so no other young masters of the Xiao family came to talk to Xiao Nan.
Xiao Nan also fell quietly, sitting there and watching the dance begin, singing and dancing to level out, which is one of the most advanced entertainment methods in this era.
Miss Yao, who was dressed like Princess Sissi, was the focus of the audience, the men were vying to dance with her, and she also intended to dress up as a princess, in addition to wearing the kind of European court-style dress skirt, she also wore a diamond crown, which was uncompromisingly radiant, although the scene came to the young lady of the Xiao family, and there were some celebrities and young aunts brought by the young masters, but none of the ladies could compare with her luxurious style.
So, what are you here for? Do you have fun watching them?
An attendant came to him with a glass and, after serving him another glass of wine, handed him a folded letter.
Xiao Nan opened the letterhead, and the letter said that he was asked to meet in the men's lounge. The payment turned out to be the Major General Dong.
What is he going to do with himself?
Xiao Nan got up with apprehension and walked towards the room on crutches.
The men's lounge is a small living room with floor-to-ceiling windows for male guests to smoke and chat, and now there is a large general in the house. He didn't wear a military uniform tonight, but changed into a costume, and like his sister, he had a very aristocratic temperament.
"Yo, Thirteen Shao, you're finally here." Major General Dong greeted him as soon as he saw him, he didn't seem to like to participate in group entertainment, and hid here alone and smoked his pipe.
"What's the matter with me?" Xiao Nan sat on the sofa chair opposite him and asked.
"Tell you about the rules of the Yao family. The province of you, the day after tomorrow, inexplicably lost your head in the Yao family. The eldest master said that once you violate the family rules of the Yao family, you can let the Yao family deal with it. Major General Winter said.
The Yao family also has a lot of rules? Same as the Xiao family? Xiao Nan began to muttered in his heart, sure enough, the big man and the big man went to Miaojiang together, and they were not simple people.
"Then you take care of me." Xiao Nan said.
"Don't get me wrong, I just responded to my sister's request. She really admires you, and she can't bear to let you die easily. Major General Dong said, "Since you are the young master of the Xiao family, you should be no stranger to these rules." The Yao family is a little different from your Xiao family, and they advocate European-style life. But what should be complied with is still to be complied with.
You have to remember that
First, don't walk around Yao's house. All you have to do is concentrate on teaching my sister in the private classroom.
Second, the basement of the Yao family is strictly forbidden to enter.
Third, no matter what you see or hear in Yao's house, you must pretend not to know, and it is strictly forbidden to say it.
Fourth, he was resolutely not allowed to stay at Yao's house after nightfall.
Fifth, it is strictly forbidden to mention words like 'young marshal' and 'madam' in Yao's house. It is strictly forbidden to ask about the marshal.
If you violate any of the above, the Yao family can directly execute you. β
Xiao Nan listened to him in a daze, and didn't know what to say for a while, just listening to these rules, he knew that the Yao family's weirdness was no less than that of the Xiao family.
The major continued: "Of course, your reward is indispensable. On behalf of the Yao family, I will pay you one month's class fee in advance. β
I saw him hand a piece of paper on the coffee table to Xiao Nan, it was a check, Xiao Nan's name was written on it, and the amount was enough to buy two factories!
Warlords are really rich!
"The Yao family shouldn't give me so much money for no reason, right? If it's the class fee, it's too much of a stretch. Xiao Nan saw his ulterior motives.
"You're quite careful. I hate beating around the bush, so let's just say it bluntly, "The major general speaks quite in a military style," the Yao family hopes to cultivate a few young masters in the Xiao family, as the link between the Xiao family and the Yao family, after consideration, the marshal thinks that you are one of the suitable candidates.
However, it is impossible for my sister to marry you, because it turns out that after her fiancΓ©, the third young master of the dead ghost, died, Dashuai's mind changed and he would choose another husband for her. And you are not qualified to be the son-in-law of the Yao family.
The eldest master also agreed with the big handsome's proposal, and the young masters who came to this ball today will more or less participate in the next cooperation projects of the two companies, some of which are in charge of investment and business, and some are in charge of industry. β
"And I am...... Is it responsible for teaching Ms. Yao? Is it just that simple? β
"No, I want you to cooperate with me, because my sister said that you know the three Chinese languages and are very knowledgeable, and you are just an ordinary tutor, which is too much of a talent." Major General Dong said, "This is my personal request. You don't have to talk about it to outsiders. It's best not to even say anything about the Yao family.
In return, I'll accommodate your other requests, as long as they don't go too far. β
Major General Dong's eyes flickered, as if he had something else planned.
"Why are you paying so much attention to me? It's not just because of Miss Yao's recommendation, right? Did anyone else recommend me? Xiao Nan felt more and more that something was wrong.
"The man who doesn't have hands, you should know him well, right?" Major General Dong said, "He is very well-informed. β
Xiao Nan suddenly realized that he was "sold" by Liu Qian's goods!
However, it should not be bad to cooperate with Major General Dong. Listening to the meaning of his words, he and the Yao family don't seem to have the same heart, and they should be able to help themselves in the future, right?
So, Major General Winter is the first "thigh" he hugs?
