Chapter 12: Young and vigorous
While the two were talking, a man came by.
βRachelοΌοΌβ Suddenly, a person shouted out to Yunliu.
βJohnny?β Yun Liu was also a little surprised to see him.
"I didn't expect to see you here?" "yes, I didn't expect that."
"This is a friend I met abroad, his name is Johnny, he is from Shanghai, and his real name is Zhou Hanyun." Yun Liu looked back and introduced Ning Yi.
Ning Yi looked at the people, unlike most of the Qing men present, he was wearing a well-fitting white suit, with a tall posture, no braids behind him, and a neat short haircut. Ning Yi could see that his eyes were full of spirit and ambition.
"This is my cousin, Ning Yi."
Zhou Hanyun nodded politely at Ning Yi: "Miss Ning Yi is good." Yun Liu didn't talk about her family affairs, so he didn't know that this banquet was held by Yun Liu.
Ning Yi also nodded politely: "Hello Mr. Zhou." β
"Where is Miss Ning Yi studying now?" Zhou Hanyun saw that she was not very old, and she should be the age of going to school, so he smiled and greeted.
Ning Yi shook her head slightly, "I'm not in good health, and I've always only studied at home. β
Hearing this, Zhou Hanyun's eyes showed a trace of surprise invisibly.
He naturally knows that many women in China are still the same old way, but he wanted Yunliu's family to let her go abroad to stay abroad, but he didn't expect that as her cousin, Ning Yiran still had that set of feudal thoughts.
He didn't believe what Ning Yi said about the physical reasons, he just thought that she also felt inferior and lied.
Ning Yi saw the way he looked at herself, lowered her eyes, and felt strange, this Mr. Zhou's eyes just now seemed to look down on him, and there was sympathy, Ning Yi was a little puzzled, did she need his sympathy?
After Zhou Hanyun asked, he didn't pay attention to Ning Yi next to him, and exchanged a few words with Yun Liu: "Yun Liu, Juliet is also here, do you want to go with me to meet her, she has been mentioning you these days." "The Juliet in his mouth is the girlfriend he met abroad.
Yun Liu smiled: "I still have something to do, I'll come back to you later." β
"Okay."
Zhou Hanyun pointed to the back, "Then I'll go first, you guys have fun today." β
"Okay, so do you."
When Zhou Hanyun left, he didn't seem to see Ning Yi, and turned around and walked directly to the back.
Ning Yi felt very wonderful, with her identity, although she was not a bully, it seemed that no one had ignored her like this, or that they didn't dare to ignore her like this.
When the others walked away, Ning Yi asked Yunliu: "Are you classmates?" β
Yun Liu didn't notice anything wrong, and nodded: "Yes, it's just that I haven't communicated before, and this time I happened to meet on the ship back home, so we were temporarily together." What's wrong? Yun Liu saw that Ning Yi's expression was a little strange, and asked more.
Ning Yi shook her head and smiled at her with a reassuring smile: "It's okay, I just think this Mr. Zhou is a little ........" Ning Yi found an adjective, "proud." β
Although Yun Liu felt that this adjective was a little strange, he didn't dwell on it and didn't think about it, "The students who come back from abroad are generally young and vigorous, with lofty ideals, and want to show their strength in their own country, and it is certain that they will be arrogant." β
Although Yun Liu didn't say it explicitly, Ning Yi also understood from her words, this Zhou Hanyun is probably the kind of Qinggao who thinks he is a scholar, has eaten foreign ink and received a new education, and he sympathizes with those who he thinks are still oppressed by feudal thoughts, and he also thinks he is superior.
"Didn't you tell him that you did today's banquet?" Ning Yi still felt a little novel about Zhou Hanyun's attitude just now.
"No one in a foreign country will treat you differently because of whether you are a big Qing Gege, and I feel troublesome, so I haven't said it, only that my family is in business."
At this time, someone called her behind, and Yun Liuchao Ning Yi said, "The banquet is about to start, I'll go over first." β
Ning Yi nodded, indicating that it didn't matter if she was alone.
The singing in the hall stopped, and the guests below looked towards the stage.
"Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, thank you for coming to today's banquet." Yun Liu stood in front of the microphone on the stage, smiling and saying the opening speech.
Waiting for the applause to stop, Yun Liu spoke: "I have always been in the Qing Dynasty to govern the country with courtesy, people and me are good, I will be good in return, as the master of this land, today welcome all foreign friends to my Daqing as guests, I will also replace all the people of the Qing Dynasty, treat you well, I hope you can have a happy evening." β
Yun Liu walked off the stage after speaking, ignoring the sparse applause from the audience.
Yun Liu returned to Ning Yi's side and took the cup.
Ning Yi approached her: "You are too bold to dare to say anything." She had noticed the different faces of the people down there.
Yun Liu glanced at her, she didn't hear the fear in her words, "I'm not one of those people who are afraid of this and that, and I don't just say this to those foreigners, but also to those lords and the party, be polite to others, provided that others are polite to you, don't be shameless and throw yourself on others." "Although she had just returned from abroad, she had always known what was going on at home.
Ning Yi saw that she was saying everything, and felt that she tugged at her sleeve, "This is outside, the Queen Mother asked you to hold this banquet with the original intention of reconciling the relationship between the Qing Dynasty and these foreigners, but you are here to declare sovereignty, don't say I didn't remind you, there are many lords and parties here." β
Ning Yi didn't say anything more about this, Yun Liu naturally knew what she meant, but she wasn't worried at all, "I didn't say anything, I just said that I would treat them well, who can hold on to this, and besides, there is the main party here, but there is also the main battle party." β
"It's good that you have the bottom in your heart."
On the other side, the old classmate who greeted Yun Liu just now, Zhou Hanyun also felt angry when he heard Yun Liu's words, but he also thought of a question, "Who is this young lady?" β
"This is today's Liugege, and I just came back from studying abroad. The Queen Mother specially asked people to hold a Chinese banquet, and this Liugege was the master of this banquet. β
Don't say what Zhou Hanyun thinks in his heart.
Ning Yi glanced at the rest area, where the eldest sister and eldest brother-in-law were sitting and talking.
She wanted to get some food for her eldest sister at the table, Ning Yi just turned around, and a waiter passed by Ning Yi, I don't know what happened, the two bumped into each other.
The other party retracted his strength in time but didn't make much movement, and they all stood firm after taking two steps back, but Ning Yi was a little embarrassed, and the wine on the tray in the waiter's hand was spilled, and a lot of it was splashed on Ning Yi's skirt.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." When the waiter saw that he was in trouble, he immediately lowered his head and kept apologizing.
Yun Liu noticed the panic here from the side, and walked over and frowned at her dirty clothes, "How did you get it like this?" β
