Splendid Abandoned Wife

Chapter 264 Disappointment
Old Man Banshan's birthday was just two days before the horse racing banquet, but Shi Xin still came over early in the morning to kowtow to his master. Not only did Shi Xin come, Pan Jiaming, Xiao Feng, and Xiang Junran, who had just arrived in Luo City the night before, Also came.Although the old man Banshan said he would not treat guests, these three people did not regard themselves as guests. The old man Banshan and Su Kang were very pleased with these young people, and they were happy, except for the embarrassment caused by their niece Qiu Ling. And frowned twice.

I don't know whether it was because she was sincerely filial to her uncle, or because she wanted to show that she was better than Yin Zhiruo, or because she was "crazy". On this day, Qiu Ling was particularly active. She ran to the kitchen "in person" to give various explanations. The hall where Old Man Banshan celebrated his birthday was busy with everything. When Shi Xin and others came, they ran to the front to greet her, as if they were afraid that someone might not know that she was Old Man Banshan's biological niece.

That's all. Although it was rude to rush to stand in front of Zhiruo, the owner of Plum Village, to welcome guests, it could still be said to be the birthday of her direct uncle. As a close relative, she was too excited and kind to the guests who came to celebrate her birthday. Due to passion.

But what's the point of being infatuated with Master Xiang?A pair of eyes widened, wishing to stick to others.If it weren't for Yue Ji who was following her and couldn't help but pull her sleeve quietly, Zhiruo would really be worried about her drooling in public.Xiang Junran is good-looking, right?
Fortunately, Qiu Ling seems to be quite dedicated. After being amazed by Young Master Xiang, she did not do anything inappropriate. She just followed Shi Xin as wholeheartedly as she did in Jiangnan. She was even more direct, letting Pan Jiaming and the three of them work together. The strange color on his face also made the old man in Banshan darken his face again just after he relaxed his brows.

It was hard for Shi Xin to say anything, but the icy face that had no smile in the first place seemed to be even colder towards Qiu Ling. To put it in Rudong's words, there was no warmth in his eyes.

Zhiruo shook his head secretly, if Qiu Ling could not help herself, or if she had some big handle, or even her life would fall into the hands of that so-called lord, it would be a real loss to be so persistent and annoying.Originally, because Qiu Ling was the niece of the old man Banshan, it was impossible for the three Shi Xin brothers and her siblings to treat the mother and daughter badly. Even if they were raised, it would be difficult to prepare a dowry in the future. What's so difficult?From Old Man Banshan, Shi Xin, Qi Haotian, to the Yin family, they will not care about this small amount of money. I am afraid that the dowry will be even richer than that of ordinary girls from official families.

But now, even the old man in Banshan who is closest to Qiu Ling is disgusted with her, let alone others. The gain outweighs the loss!
Different from his attitude toward Qiu Ling, Shi Xin was much closer to the Zhiruo siblings. He had the demeanor of a senior brother. He just arrived at Meizhuang, kowtowed to his master, and then began to test the martial arts of the Mingze brothers. Even Xiao Zhixuan, who had just started practicing martial arts with the old man in Banshan, was not spared.

Zhiruo is a big girl after all. Shi Xin didn't have much contact with her. He just took a deep look at her when they first met and said in a deep voice: "Miss Yin, you did a good job. The teachings are very good, that’s it, you can’t avoid what is coming, and you have to live your life well.”

Shi Xin didn't say much, and what he said sounded simple and ordinary. However, combined with the words he taught and gave guidance to the Mingze brothers, Zhiruo could feel his kind support and a kind of... attitude.She knew that if she wanted to do something extraordinary, she could only rely on her siblings to be self-reliant. She never thought of relying on anyone, and there weren't that many people she could trust.Therefore, she didn't ask for much, just this attitude.The right time, right place and right people, at a critical moment, this attitude may be able to provide a key boost.

The birthday of the old man in Banshan passed in a low-key manner, but also lively and warm. The high-profile horse race banquet was not as lively as everyone expected.

The horse racing banquet at Xishan Racecourse, which had caused a sensation during the preparation period, was held calmly on the day without causing any major disturbances. This made the crowd who were waiting to hear the lively gossip extremely depressed.

Didn't it mean that the fourth prince was acting for personal benefit and came to Los Angeles for a "little draft"?Didn't it mean that the last horse racing event was ruined by a horse-falling incident? This time, the wealthy ladies continue to fight hard for the position of the British prince's wife?Didn't it mean that Mr. Xiang, who was rich and wealthy, had fallen in love with a certain young lady from Luo City, so he came to attend the horse race again?Isn't it said that even Model Xiao, who voluntarily gave up his official career and became Pan Shizi's follower, is the object of admiration of many wealthy merchant girls? …

They say there are three women in a drama. There are so many girls who are ready to take action, plus the wealthy children headed by four radiant golden unmarried men. Why is there no story at all?It’s so un-normal!It's not as good as the last Ning family horse racing meeting. At least there was a thrilling story about a girl from the Qingyuan Hou Mansion who fought so hard that she got under the horse's hooves, wasn't it?As a result, the horse racing feast became the most boring and dull event in the eyes of many people. Within two days, it was like a gust of wind passing by, almost silently.

Rudong was confused: "Isn't it quite lively? Aren't there a few young masters and ladies who are very outstanding?" For example, Qiu Yanran and the British prince Pan Jiajin.Qiu Yanran avenged her shame. It was said that even Prince Zang Yu was full of praises. Princess Thea even pulled her to compete. Although the two were not equal, they could both treat horses as toys since they were young. The princesses of the Tibetan Kingdom are equally matched, but Qiu Yanran really stole the show.

And Pan Jiajin is a dark horse. He used to be quiet, but this time he showed off his talents.Of course, he is a little worse than Pan Jiaming. The problem is that no one thought before that he could also ride and shoot, right?

Although no one in Meizhuang attended the horse racing banquet, Prince Pan would come over every day to visit his girls and play with Shu Ling and Zhi Xuan for about half an hour. The two girls were at the age of curiosity, so they naturally chattered and asked questions on the day of the horse racing banquet. Asked a lot of questions, such as whose riding outfit is the most beautiful?Who ran first?Who won the talent show?Who will win the prize that the emperor and empress specially gave for the horse race?
Pan Shizi was extremely patient with the two little girls. Not only did he answer everything he knew, he also gave all kinds of exaggerated and vivid demonstrations with his hands and feet, which made the two little girls widen their eyes or open their mouths. A look of shock or a giggle of joy…

Because Pan Shizi's wonderful performance attracted many maids and servants, and everyone learned from it, the horse race banquet brought a lot of fun to everyone in Meizhuang, and even they felt the excitement.

Now I heard that the horse race feast was "bland", how could Rudong not feel strange?How else can it be considered lively?

Zhiruo smiled and shook his head: "What does the excitement and excitement in the venue have to do with those people who have never had the opportunity to participate in such activities in their lives? They don't care who plays the piano well and the horse runs fast, or who steals the show. They are all too far away, so it would be better for someone to cause some conflicts, cause some embarrassments, or even break out a scandal or two to really add some gossip and laughter to them after dinner." What's more, this horse racing banquet is led by the imperial court. Yes, it involves princes, princesses, and foreign dignitaries, but it is different from the parties held by the Ning family. Even if there is any "fun" happening, it will be suppressed, so how can it be spread?
"That's true," Rudong sighed, but not for those who didn't wait for the gossip. What suddenly occurred to her was that her girl's riding skills had always been outstanding. She used to be quiet and didn't like to be in the limelight, but now... she doesn't either. I know when I will have the opportunity to participate in the grand gathering of the ladies circle again.

Ruchun felt the same way, and naturally saw Rudong's thoughts at a glance, and interrupted with a smile: "It's okay if there is no gossip for them to talk about. Now the streets and alleys are talking about what egg tarts are, and some people say they are egg tarts. Carve the cooked eggs into a pagoda shape, hahaha." It is said that the skillful chef actually introduced the egg tart dish, and many people rushed to order it.

Zhiruo smiles, people's imagination is really endless, and businessmen know how to take advantage of opportunities to make money.However, Dian Dim Sum really got a lot of credit from the horse racing feast this time.

The gossip stories are gone, but the egg tarts and milk tea that made a stunning appearance at the horse racing banquet are becoming more and more "big". People who have tried it are still not satisfied. On the same day, they sent people to ask when they can buy it and whether they can make reservations in advance.People who have never tasted it are getting more and more excited. Every day, people come to the shop to urge new products to be released as soon as possible. Since they are available, why not quickly launch them and sell them for money?What a waste!
A complete advertising effect!It is equivalent to sponsoring various influential events, ceremonies, etc. in the 21st century. The difference is that those sponsorships are free, and you spend money to earn praise and fame. And she made a lot of money from this horse racing party. , the price is the same as the retail price in the store, not a copper penny less.

When Zhiruo's master and servant were very excited about some snacks, in the Aomei Pavilion not far away, Qiu Ling looked unwilling and depressed: "Yueji, I...are we really moving out and not going to Beijing?" ?" According to her, since they moved out of Meizhuang and went to the capital, how could their uncle really ignore them when they, orphans and widowers, arrived in the capital alone?Can Shi Xin really turn a blind eye?Even if he really has no interest in her, because of his reputation and popularity, he still has to take them into Shi Mansion quickly, right?
As long as they enter the house, with her gentleness and attentiveness and Ah Xing's cuteness and cuteness, the mother and daughter are a pair of lovely beauties. Are they afraid that they will not be able to win the favor of everyone in the Shi residence, especially Mrs. Shi?Didn't Yue Ji say that Mrs. Shi didn't like Mrs. Shi, Shi Xin's wife Nie?When the time comes, I'm afraid Mrs. Shi will be eager to make the decision for her without her having to fight for anything.In a qualified family, which man doesn’t have three wives and four concubines?What mother would want her son to only have one wife, or someone she doesn't like?
Yueji sneered coldly: "Going to Beijing? Do you think you can enter Shifu by going to Beijing? Without the support of the old man in Banshan, you are nothing." This woman is so stupid!On the day of the birthday banquet, wasn't the attitude of the old man in Banshan obvious enough?Isn't Shi Xin's alienation obvious enough?Where did she get the confidence to think that as long as she came to Beijing, she could enter Shi Mansion and become Shi Xin's woman?
　Feel sorry!
