Chapter 421 It's No Shame to Be Poor
The days passed by sweetly, and there was still class on the last day of September, but it was Tuesday's class. Yun Xiangxiang just finished the morning class, so he asked for leave for the rest of the day.
After getting the leave slip, he went to Shi's house with Song Mian, whose ancestral house was in the imperial capital.
The Shi family started as a dyeing and weaving business. It is said that their ancestors were imperial merchants who were responsible for the weaving of the emperor's family. They mastered many lost dyeing and weaving techniques.
Up to now, the Shi family's industry covers a wide range of industries, but they are still based on their own business, that is, clothing companies.
Although the brand has not become a world-class luxury brand, their family Huaguo Gaoding is making money day by day.
Yun Xiangxiang originally thought that Shi's house should also be a retro-style pavilion, but he didn't expect that it turned out to be a luxurious European-style villa. There was a fountain outside the iron gate before entering the gate, which was very magnificent.
It is true that not too many people were invited, only seven or eight families, and each family only sent important representatives. For example, only Song Mian brought her to the Song family.
Someone from the Tang family also came, and it was Tang Zhiyu who now had the right to speak in the Tang family. Tang Suran, as a female companion, also followed.
Apart from their brothers and sisters, Yun Xiangxiang knew the elder of the Min family before, and that was because he ate at the Min family last time.
The elder of the Min family, Min Size, treated her kindly, probably because of his affection.
Yun Xiangxiang didn't know any of the rest of them. Men had men's affairs, so Song Mian handed Yun Xiangxiang to the mistress of the Shi family after entering the inner city.
"Madam, my fiancée is young, please take care of her." Song Mian asked with a smile.
"You said it yourself, how dare I not do my best to take care of you." Mrs. Shi's family agreed with a smile, turned around and looked at Yun Xiangxiang, "such a beautiful girl, I don't want to let her hurt if you don't tell me .”
Yun Xiangxiang smiled shyly from beginning to end.
"Just come to me if you have anything to do." Song Mian gently instructed, and went to the other side.
"I'm older than you, so I'll ask you to think about it, and I'll take you to meet some young girls." Mrs. Shi's family was very kind to Yun Xiangxiang, "Don't be reluctant, we'll see you after dinner."
Yun Xiangxiang just smiled slightly, and was taken by Mrs. Shi's family to the ladies. Some sat and chatted in twos and threes, some set up a table to play mahjong, some enjoyed tea and discussed skills together, and some played chess...
Mrs. Shi's family made an introduction, and they were all strangers, and they looked very friendly on the surface.
It's just that the second wife of the Shi family gave her an extra look. Yun Xiangxiang is very sensitive to these things, and always feels that the second wife of the Shi family seems to be measuring something.
They don't know each other. Could it be that there is an interest dispute between them? So when the eldest lady introduced, Yun Xiangxiang was very careful that the second lady of the Shi family didn't have a daughter, so she ruled out that she felt that she had robbed her of her daughter's position.
Yun Xiangxiang couldn't figure it out, so he paid attention to the second lady. She played mahjong with others and didn't do anything else.
Here, Tang Suran took the initiative to talk to her, and Shi Youxuan was also there. Yun Xiangxiang saw that the eldest lady seemed to turn a blind eye to Shi Youxuan, and couldn't help admiring her.
My husband's illegitimate daughter can be allowed to come out to socialize with the guests at the old man's birthday banquet, and as the host of the family.
"Think about it, I didn't expect you to come too, let's make a table together?" Shi Youxuan led a person to Yun Xiangxiang and Tang Suran.
"You grew up abroad, did you also learn to play mahjong?" Tang Suran said.
Yun Xiangxiang could hear that Tang Suran didn't seem to like Shi Youxuan, maybe this was an eternal problem, the concubine looked down on the concubines.
"Growing up abroad can't erase the fact that I'm from Huaguo." Shi Youxuan replied with a pun, as if she didn't hear Tang Suran's displeasure.
This sentence can also be translated as: an illegitimate daughter, and it cannot be denied that I am a descendant of the Shi family.
After all, it was the Shi family's birthday banquet. After all, Mr. Shi recognized her, so what right did outsiders have to comment on her.
Yun Xiangxiang didn't want to be caught between these two people, let alone deal with others, so after thinking about it, he said, "I really like playing mahjong, so let's join the table."
Tang Suran wanted to save face for Yun, and the girl Shi Youxuan brought was also in her early twenties, and her surname was often Chang Yuan.
The Chang family is the most famous family in Xiangshan O. This Chang Yuan is also very famous. She is a famous Chinese lady who has participated in the Blue Blood Ball.
"Yuan Yuan, you have to let us go." Shi Youxuan said with a smile as soon as she got on the table.
The gambling table is the origin of the Chang family's family education. No one knows whether Chang Yuan has inherited genes or not.
"My card skills are not good, and it depends on luck." Chang Yuan pushed the mahjong in front of him into the shuffling machine.
Her bright eyes fell on Yun Xiangxiang: "I have heard many people say that Miss Yun is the goddess of luck, we should let Miss Yun show mercy."
"It's just rumors outside. Occasionally, I'm lucky once or twice. I'm an artist, so it's exaggerated." Yun Xiangxiang said modestly.
"What kind of mahjong shall we play?" Tang Suran answered, "How old are we playing?"
"Don't play Cantonese mahjong, lest I take advantage of it." Chang Yuan said voluntarily.
"You don't need to play Treasure Island mahjong, lest I take advantage of it." Shi Youxuan also followed up.
Shi Youxuan's mother is from Baodao, so she should know how to play mahjong in Baodao.
"I can do anything, as long as you tell me the rules." Yun Xiangxiang didn't know how to play all kinds of mahjong, but as long as the rules were in place, she would be able to play up to two mahjong.
"We don't have people from Sichuan Province to play mahjong in Sichuan Province, so it's easy to play mahjong," Tang Suran said.
The other three nodded without objection, and Chang Yuan said, "Our family doesn't have much money, so let's pay 10,000."
Yun Xiangxiang's heart skipped a beat. If it was 10,000, if this style of play went against the sky, it might be worth a million.
Tang Suran frowned, she was about to speak, but Chang Yuan asked Yun Xiangxiang with a smile: "Think about it, do you have any objections?"
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 charity. With a few endorsements to fill in, Yun Xiangxiang has two Tens of millions of family assets.
More than 20 million yuan, if Chang Yuan's style of play is followed, if luck is a bit unlucky, he may lose it all.
Chang Yuan wanted to gently remind Yun Xiangxiang, aren't they from the same class?
But the other party was obviously much more advanced than Fei Yi, she asked in a gentle voice, and there was clearly concern in her eyes.
Yun Xiangxiang is not someone who wants to save face: "Sorry, I'm short on money, ten thousand is too big."
No money is no money, why are you ashamed to admit it?
Yun Xiangxiang didn't think being poor was a shame or a sin, and she wouldn't spend so much money on this kind of entertainment.
Either lose or win.
