Chapter 258 Disappointment
The birthday of the old man Banshan was just two days before the horse-drawn banquet, but Shi Xin rushed over early in the morning to kowtow to his master. Not only Shi Xin came, Pan Jiaming, Xiao Feng, and Xiang Junran, who had arrived in Luocheng the night before, also came. Although the old man Banshan said he would not treat him as a guest, the old man Banshan and Su Kang were rarely pleased with these young people, and they were happy. In addition, they frowned twice because of the embarrassment brought by their niece Qiu Ling.
I don’t know if it was because of my sincere filial piety to my uncle, or to show that I was stronger than Yin Zhiruo, or to call it “crazy”, Qiu Ling was particularly active on this day, and she went to the kitchen to give various explanations on the spot. She was busy in the hall where Zhiruo was preparing to celebrate the birthday of the old man in the mountain. When Shi Xin and his friends came over, they even ran in front to greet him, fearing that anyone would not know that she was the niece of the old man in the mountain.
It would be fine. Although it was rude to rush to stand in front of the owner of Zhiruo, the Meizhuang, to welcome the guests, it could be said that it was her birthday. As a close relative, she was too excited and enthusiastic about the guests who came to celebrate her birthday.
But what happened to Master Xiang? His eyes were wide open and he wanted to stick to someone else's body. If Rose, who was following her, could not help but pull her sleeve quietly, Zhiruo was really worried that she would drool in public. Xiang Junran looks good, is it?
Fortunately, Qiu Ling seemed quite dedicated. After being amazed by Master Xiang, she did not do anything wrong. She turned around Shi Xin as if she was in Jiangnan, even more direct, making Pan Jiaming and the other two look strange, and also made the old man Mid-mountain who had just let go of his eyebrows dark again.
Shi Xin couldn't say anything, but the ice face that had no smile seemed even colder to Qiu Ling. In Rudong's words, his eyes were not warm.
Zhiruo shook his head secretly. If Qiu Ling had not been in control, or had some big handle, and even her life fell into the so-called lord's hands, it would be a pity for her to stick to her. Originally, it would be too much for Qiu Ling to be the niece of the old man in Banshan, Shi Xin and her brothers, and her brothers would not have been able to treat the mother and daughter badly. Even if she raised them, what would it be difficult to prepare a dowry in the future? From Banshan, Shi Xin, Qi Haotian, to their Yin family, they would not care about this little money, but I am afraid that the dowry would be more generous than the ordinary legitimate girls in the official family.
But now, even the old man in the middle of the mountain who was closest to Qiu Ling was disgusted with her, let alone others, it was not worth the loss!
Unlike his attitude towards Qiu Ling, Shi Xin was much closer to Zhiruo and his brothers, and he had the style of a senior brother. He had just arrived in Meizhuang and kowtowed to his master and started to take the martial arts skills of the Mingze brothers. Even Xiao Zhixuan, who had just been practicing martial arts with the old man in the middle of the mountain, did not let go of him.
Zhiruo is a big girl after all, and Shi Xin didn't have much contact with her. He just looked at her deeply when he first met and said in a deep voice: "Miss Yin, you have done a good job and taught your younger brothers and sisters well. In this way, you can't escape what you should come, and you must live a good life."
Shi Xin didn't say much, and what he said sounded simple and ordinary. However, combined with his teachings and guidance on the words of the Ming Ze brothers, Zhiruo could feel his kind support and... expressing his opinion. Zhiruo was not an ordinary thing, and he could only rely on his siblings to be self-reliant and self-reliant. He never thought about relying on anyone, and there were not so many people who could trust her. Therefore, she didn't ask for much, as long as she had such an attitude. The right time, place, people, and at critical moments, this attitude may be able to achieve a key help.
The birthday of the old man in the middle of the mountain is low-key, but there is also a lot of lively. After passing warmly, the high-profile horse racing banquet is not as lively as everyone expects.
During the preparation period, the sensational Xishan Horse Farm horse racing banquet was held on the day of the day, and there was no big wave, which made the people waiting to listen to the lively gossip and gossip extremely depressed.
Didn’t it mean that the fourth prince pretended to be private and went to Luocheng to come to a "small talent show"? Didn’t it mean that the horse-small incident was ruined by the horse-slaughter incident last time? This time the daughters of the daughters continued to fight for the position of the British Prince’s wife? Didn’t it mean that Xiang Dada, who was both rich and lustful, fell in love with a lady in Luocheng and came to attend the horse-slaughter banquet again? Didn’t it mean that even Xiao Bangmo, who voluntarily gave up his career and became the follower of Prince Pan, was the admiration of many wealthy business girls?…
It is said that three women are in a play, so many girls who are ready to move, and the rich children who are rich with four radiant golden unmarried men, why are there no stories at all? It's too... normal! It's not as good as the last Ning Family Jockey Club, which was the thrilling story of a girl from the Qingyuan Marquis's Mansion fighting to the bottom of the horse's hooves?
As a result, the horse-drawn banquet became the most boring and dullest event that many ordinary people called. In just two days, it was like a gust of wind passing by, almost silent.
Ru Dong was puzzled: "Isn't it very lively? Didn't there be a few young masters and ladies who are very outstanding?" For example, Qiu Yanran and Pan Jiajin, the eldest son of the British Duke's Mansion, took advantage of their past shame. It is said that even the prince of Zangyu praised her. Princess Xiya even held her to compete. Although the two were comparable, Qiu Yanran was really in the limelight with the princess of Tibetan countries who had used horses as toys since childhood.
And then Pan Jiajin was even a dark horse. He turned out to be silent, but this time he showed his skills. Of course, it was a little worse than Pan Jiaming. The problem is that no one thought he would still be riding and shooting, right?
Although no one in Meizhuang attended the horse racing banquet, Prince Pan would come to visit her every day, and played with Shu Ling and Zhixuan for about half an hour. The two girls were curious at the age of curiosity. They naturally asked many questions on the day of the horse racing banquet, such as whose horse riding outfit is the most beautiful? Who ran first? Who won the talent show? Who gave the lottery ticket specially for the horse racing banquet?
Prince Pan has extremely patient with the two little girls. Not only did he answer everything, he also used all his hands and feet to add various exaggerated and vivid demonstrations, which caused the two little girls to open their eyes, either open their mouths and look shocked, or giggle happily...
Because of Prince Pan's wonderful performance, many maids and servants were attracted, and one of them learned to listen to the other, the horse-drawn banquet brought a lot of fun to Meizhuang, and even they felt the excitement.
But now I heard that the horse-drawn banquet was "still plain". How could Rudong not find it strange? What else should I think it is lively?
Zhiruo smiled and shook his head: "What does the excitement and excitement in the venue have to do with those who have never had the chance to participate in such activities in their entire lives? They don't care who plays the piano and runs fast, or who is very popular. Those are too far away from them, so it's better for someone to have conflicts, create embarrassing things, or even one or two scandals, which really adds some gossip and jokes to them after dinner." What's more, this horse racing banquet was dominated by the court, involving princesses and princesses and gentile guests. But unlike the party held by the Ning family, even if there is a "hustle" life, I'm afraid it will be suppressed, so how can it be spread?
"That's right," Rudong sighed, but it was not for those who hadn't waited for gossip. What she suddenly thought was that her girl's riding skills have always been outstanding. She used to be quiet and didn't like to show off. Now... I don't know when I will have the opportunity to attend the grand event in the precious women's circle again.
Ruchunshen felt the same, so he could see Rudong's thoughts at a glance and interrupted with a smile: "It's better not to talk to them about gossip. Now the streets and alleys are talking about what egg tarts are. Some people say it is an egg tart, which carves cooked eggs into pagoda shapes, hahaha." It is said that the skillful chef really launched the egg tart dish, and many people went to order it.
Zhiruo laughed "Puchi", people's imagination is really endless, and businessmen know how to take advantage of the opportunity to make money. However, this time, Dianthus was indeed a big deal of the horse-drawn banquet.
The gossip story is gone, but the egg tarts and milk tea that appeared stunningly in the horse racing banquet seemed to be "momentally" and the people who had eaten it were still unsatisfactory. On the same day, someone sent a dim sum to ask when they could be bought and whether they could book it first. The more itchy people who had never tasted it, people would come to the shop to urge them to launch new products as soon as possible. Since they have been vacant, why not launch them and sell them for money? It's a waste!
The complete advertising effect! It is equivalent to sponsoring various major influential events and festivals in the 21st century. The difference is that those sponsors are free, spending money to earn publicity and reputation. However, she made a lot of money in this horse racing banquet, and the price was the same as the retail price in the store, and she collected a lot of copper coins.
When Zhiruo's master and servant were excited about some snacks, Qiu Ling looked unwilling and depressed in Aomei Pavilion not far away: "Rose, I...we really moved out, but don't go to Beijing?" According to her opinion, since she moved out of Meizhuang, it would be great to go to Beijing. How could their uncle ignore the orphans and widows who came to the capital alone? Can Shi Xin really ignore it? Even if he really has no interest in her and has to get a reputation and talk to others, he has to quickly take them into Shi Mansion?
As long as you enter the mansion, with her gentleness and carefulness and A Xing's obedience and cuteness, the mother and daughter are still afraid that they will not win the favor of the Shi Mansion, especially Mrs. Shi's favor? Didn't Rose say that Mrs. Shi doesn't like Mrs. Shi, that is, Mrs. Shi Xin's wife, Nie? At that time, I'm afraid that she won't fight for anything, Mrs. Shi will be impatient to make decisions for her. If there are conditions, which man does not have three wives and four concubines? Which mother would hope that her son only has one wife or someone she doesn't like?
