Chapter 418: There is no shame in being poor
The days passed in a flash of sweetness, and the last day of September still had to be class, but it was a Tuesday class, and Yun Xiangxiang happened to finish the morning class, so he took the rest of the days off.
got the fake note and went to the Shi family with Song Mian, and the ancestral home of the Shi family was in the imperial capital.
The Shi family started as a dyeing and weaving, and it is said that the ancestors were imperial merchants and were responsible for the weaving of the emperor's family, and they had a lot of lost dyeing and weaving techniques in their hands.
Up to now, the Shi family's industry is very wide, but it is also based on the old bank, that is, clothing companies.
Although the brand has not become a world-class luxury brand, their home Huaguo Gaoding is a piece of gold every day.
Yun Xiangxiang originally thought that the Shi family should also be a retro-style pavilion, but he didn't expect it to be a luxurious and atmospheric European-style villa, and there was a fountain outside the iron gate before entering the door, which was very magnificent.
It is true that there are not too many people invited, there are only seven or eight families, and each family only sent a representative with weight, for example, the Song family only Song Mian brought her.
Someone from the Tang family also came, and it was Tang Zhiyu who the Tang family now had the right to speak, and Tang Suran, as a female companion, also came.
In addition to their brothers and sisters, Yun Xiangxiang knew the eldest master of the Min family, and that was because he had a meal at the Min family last time.
Min Size, the eldest man of the Min family, was kind to her, it should be for the sake of the old man Min's affection.
The rest of the people, Yun Xiangxiang didn't know any of them, men had men's affairs, and Song Mian handed over Yun Xiangxiang to the mistress of the Shi family.
"Big lady, my fiancΓ©e is young, please take more care of me." Song Mian smiled and asked.
"You have spoken personally, how dare I not do my best to take care of it." Mrs. Shi agreed with a smile, turned around and looked at Yun again, "Such a beautiful girl, if you don't say it, I can't bear to let her hurt." β
Yun Xiangxiang smiled a little shyly from beginning to end.
"If you have something, just come to me." After Song Mian gently admonished, he went to the other side.
"I'm older than you, so I'll tell you to think about it, and I'll take you to meet some young girls." Mrs. Shi was very kind to Yun Xiangxiang, "Don't be reluctant, you can see you after dinner." β
Yun Xiangxiang just smiled slightly, and was taken by Mrs. Shi to the ladies and ladies, some sat and chatted in twos and threes, some played mahjong at the table, some drank tea together and discussed skills, and some were playing chess......
Mrs. Shi Jiada made an introduction, and they were all strangers, and they looked friendly on the surface.
It's just that the second lady of the Shi family looked at her more, and Yun Xiangxiang was very sensitive to these, and always felt that the second lady of the Shi family seemed to be weighing something.
They don't know each other, do they say that there is an entanglement of interests between them? So when the eldest lady introduced, Yun Xiangxiang paid great attention to the fact that the second lady of the Shi family had no daughter, so she felt that she had robbed her of her daughter's position.
Yun couldn't guess it, so he paid attention to the second lady, she played mahjong with others, and didn't do anything more.
Here Tang Suran took the initiative to talk to her, Shi Youxuan was also there, Yun Xiangxiang saw that the eldest lady seemed to ignore Shi Youxuan, and couldn't help but admire a little.
The illegitimate daughter of her husband can let her come out to meet and socialize at the old man's birthday banquet in her name, and as the host's family.
"Think about it, I didn't expect you to come too, and we'll have a table together?" Shi Youxuan took a person to Yun Xiangxiang and Tang Suran.
"You grew up abroad and learned to play mahjong too?" Tang Suran said.
Yun Xiangxiang could hear that Tang Suran didn't seem to like Shi Youxuan, maybe this is a problem for the ages, and the concubine looks down on the concubine.
"Growing up abroad can't erase that I'm Chinese." Shi Youxuan didn't seem to hear Tang Suran's dislike, and replied with a pun.
This sentence can also be translated as: illegitimate daughter, it cannot be denied that I am a descendant of the Shi family.
It's also the Shi family's birthday banquet, after all, Old Man Shi recognizes her, so what qualifications do outsiders have to put their beaks.
Yun didn't want to be sandwiched between these two people, let alone deal with others, so after thinking about it, he said, "I still like to play mahjong, so let's get a table." β
Tang Suran gave Yun a face, and the girl brought by Shi Youxuan was also in her early twenties, and her surname was often Chang Ying.
The Chang family is the largest famous family in Xiangshan Ao, and this Chang Ying is also very famous, she is a Chinese celebrity who has participated in the Blue Blood Ball.
"You're going to let us go." As soon as she got on the table, Shi Youxuan said with a smile.
The gambling table is the family history of the Chang family, and no one knows whether Chang Ying has genes or not.
"I'm not good at playing cards, and besides, this game depends on luck." Chang Ying pushed the mahjong in front of him into the shuffling machine.
Her bright eyes fell on Yun Xiangxiang's body: "I have heard many people say that Miss Yun is the goddess of luck, and we should let Miss Yun's subordinates show mercy." β
"It's just rumors outside, but once or twice in a while, I'm an artist, so it's exaggerated." Yun Xiangxiang said modestly.
"What kind of mahjong are we playing?" Tang Suran answered, "How big is the fight?" β
"Don't play Mahjong in Guangdong Province, lest I take advantage." Chang Ying took the initiative to say.
"I don't have to play Treasure Island Mahjong, so as not to take advantage of me." Shi Youxuan also followed suit.
Shi Youxuan's mother is from Baodao, and she should know how to play mahjong in Baodao.
"I can do it, just tell me the rules." Yun Xiangxiang Although not all mahjong can play, as long as the rules are there, she can play at most two.
"Playing mahjong in Sichuan Province, we don't have anyone from Sichuan Province, and this kind of beating is also simple." Tang Suran said.
The other three all nodded without objection, and Chang Ying said, "Our family doesn't have much money, so let's pay 10,000." β
Yun Xiang's heart jumped, if it was ten thousand, if this kind of play was against the sky, maybe it would be millions.
Tang Suran frowned, she was about to speak, but Chang Ying asked Yun Xiangxiang with a smile: "Think about it, you have no opinion, right?" β
This is obviously because Yun Xiangxiang has no money, artists do make money, but Yun Xiangxiang bought a house and used half of the income for public welfare, with a few endorsements to fill, Yun Xiangxiang has more than 20 million family assets in his hands.
More than 20 million, if you follow Chang Ming's style of play, you will have a little luck, and you may have to lose it all.
Chang Ying wanted to tactfully remind Yun to think about it, aren't they people of the same class?
However, the other party is obviously much more senior than Fei Yi, and she asked softly, with concern in her eyes.
Yun Xiangxiang is not a person who wants to save face: "I'm sorry, I'm shy, 10,000 is too big." β
No money is no money, what's embarrassing to admit?
Yun Xiangxiang didn't feel that poverty was a shame or a sin, and she wouldn't give so much money to this kind of entertainment.
It doesn't matter if you win or lose.
