Aspirations for Nation and Beauty: Section 79 Struggle for beauty (1)
The evening in April is a bit more refreshing than any other time. The lukewarm temperature is just right for people to fully enjoy the joy of nightlife. People with status and status went to the receptions and dances one after another in a calm and unhurried manner according to their respective predetermined plans.
The perimeter of Qingyiyuan has already been cleaned up. In view of the unusual identity of the host who held the reception, the Imperial Capital Police Department also dispatched a large number of patrolmen to clear the area of Qingyiyuan. In fact, this area originally belonged to the well-known wealthy area of the imperial capital, and the social security has always been good. However, to be on the safe side, the patrolmen carefully cleaned and searched along this block one day in advance, and even stayed there. The mission ends after the reception is over.
The security department is undoubtedly firmly opposed to such a large-scale reception. Although it is said that all visitors must enter with an invitation card, Qingyiyuan is such a large area that it is too easy for three or five people to hide in it. The arrival of the guests will also greatly disturb the attention of the security department, causing them to focus a lot of energy on irrelevant things, especially Qingyiyuan is an open garden.
But the security department also knows that this kind of task is inevitable. Their only way is to do the work as detailed as possible, and plug every security hole as much as possible to ensure the smooth progress of the reception. Of course, their The primary goal is still to ensure the absolute safety of Wufeng. In contrast, everything else can be put in the second place.
The reception was held in the Zhile Hall in the west of Qingyiyuan. There is a large space for guests to chat and chat. The two ends and the west side are divided into several entertainment rooms, a smoking room and a small reception room. After leaving the banquet hall, a long table filled with various drinks, snacks and fruits occupies the north end, while the south end is sparsely populated with tables for guests to dine and drink. There are huge lawns outside the banquet hall and ballroom. Neatly manicured grass and shrubs are interspersed with each other. Fountains, sculptures, water channels, terraces, and benches are harmoniously distributed in the lawn.
Lin Yuexin and Su Qin are standing at the entrance of the inner hall. From here, guests can be taken to the two sides. If the guests like to drink two glasses of wine to liven up the atmosphere, they can take the guests to the east banquet hall first. If the guests just want to have a cup of coffee or chat with friends and acquaintances, they can naturally be invited to the ballroom on the west. At the entrance of the outer hall, two officials familiar with the situation from the foreign affairs department were already waiting there. They would bring the guests into the inner hall and introduce to them the hostess of the meeting and some guests they were interested in.
It cannot but be said that Lin Yuexin's arrangement is quite appropriate. He not only maintained the mystery of his identity before, but also allowed the guests to have an understanding of himself during the period from the outer hall to the inner hall. I understand, of course, whether it is Lin Guoxiong's daughter or Yuhu's reputation, Lin Yuexin's status as the hostess of this reception in Xijiang is very good. It should be said that Lin Yuexin's goal has been achieved.
When the guests looked at Lin Yuexin with admiration, approval, approval and even jealousy, Lin Yuexin knew that she had successfully taken the first step, and established herself in the upper class society of the imperial capital where it was difficult for ordinary people to gain a foothold. It has created a distinctive image, especially successfully defined these gentry and merchants who have a complicated relationship with Xijiang as another hostess different from Situ Yutang and Angel. This role can only be understood or not. explain in words.
"Master Su, this is • • • • • •" The arrival of guests made the entrance of the inner hall quickly lively .
"Oh, Mr. Lao, this is Miss Yuexin, hehe, Mr. Guoxiong Jiedushi's only daughter, is it possible that Mr. Lao does not know?"
"Oh, it turned out to be Miss Yuexin. Lao Min had to admire His Royal Highness King Qin. It really was a perfect match. On the way here, I was still wondering who could take on this burden for Brother Wufeng, hahahaha, It seems that I am worrying too much."
"Master Lao has too much reputation, the heart of the moon is nothing more than a willow, it has a false name, how can it be worthy of what Master Lao said, today's cocktail party, Mr. Lao can come, it is really full of glory."
"Please, Mr. Zeng, Mr. Zeng and the others have arrived first. They are over there." Su Qin smiled and guided the route for the other party.
"This is Brother Guoxiong's daughter, eh, I haven't seen Brother Guoxiong for a long time, and I don't know how he is doing?"
"Thank you, Uncle Zhang, for your concern. My father is still in good health. If Uncle Zhang has time, you are welcome to visit Jiangchuan."
"Definitely, when the trivial matters are over, I must go to Jiangchuan to see old friends."
"Master Su, was that ••••••?"
"Well, he is one of the permanent directors of the Imperial Finance Guild, and Wan Renming, the owner of Wanfeng Bank, one of the eight major banks in the imperial capital. This guy looks wretched, but he has little sense of smell. Yes, it was the first financial institution to enter our western Xinjiang. It made a lot of money in our western Xinjiang, but it can be regarded as a lot of effort for us. He was able to squeeze into the eight major banks and banks in the imperial capital. The business in our territory is booming, and he can be regarded as an old acquaintance of His Highness, but in fact, the scale of his business in the imperial capital is far less than that in Northwest and Heshuo." Every time a guest leaves, Su Qin will take time to introduce the basic situation of the guest to Lin Yuexin And the substantive relationship with Xijiang.
"Oh, so his development in our western Xinjiang is also quite good?" Lin Yuexin watched the disappearing figure of the guest while memorizing the situation.
"It's not bad, but James strongly opposes banks other than Xijiang Bank getting involved in those undeveloped areas, so the development of these foreign financial institutions in our Xijiang is still quite restricted. On the issue of the opening of the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, James even quarreled with Mo Lun and the others, and even Mr. Xiao could not suppress it. Although His Highness did not interfere with the ruling of the court, the opening of Tiannan First Industrial and Commercial Bank was not affected. , but in actual operation, the Economic Development Agency is also more cautious, and it has also aroused the opposition of many foreign investors." Seeing that the other party seemed to be particularly interested in the financial situation, Su Qin introduced a few more words about the situation in this area.
"It seems that Mr. James hopes to use the monopoly of the financial market to gain more profits for the Bank of Xijiang. Although this seems to protect the interests of the Xijiang regime to a certain extent, it will have a long-term impact on the economy of Xijiang. However, the overall development has some negative impacts. Of course, different regions also need to determine policies according to the actual situation of each region. Perhaps Lord James is to prevent hostile forces from controlling the economic lifeline of our Western Territory.”
Su Qin agrees with Lin Yuexin's two random comments, and he doesn't quite agree with James' claim that Xijiang Bank must be in a dominant position in the financial market anywhere in the territory, and other financial institutions are just supplementary opinions, but After all, that is not within the scope of his duties, and he has never expressed his attitude on this issue.
However, Lin Yuexin's attention was quickly attracted by the new guests. It should be said that the guests were the focus of other guests' attention from the moment they stepped into the outer hall. Not very applicable, like a magnet, every move of the guests attracts everyone's attention.
Su Qin was actually not familiar with the guests, but he was so experienced that he quickly reacted from the startle. Just by the apricot yellow belt occasionally exposed in the snow-colored robes of the other party, he could tell that the other party must be related to the royal family. There is a certain relationship, and there is no such person in the invitation card sent by Su Qin's impression among the children of the clan, and then look at the other party's delicate and frosty pink dimple~IndoMTL.com~ Except for the court etiquette officer, it seems that there is no other person .
"Master Etiquette Officer, this is Miss Lin Yuexin." Su Qin hurriedly introduced the two of them, "Miss Yuexin, this is Miss Zhu Zimei, the Imperial Palace Etiquette Officer."
It's like two dazzling stars colliding together and emitting a brilliance that can cover everything, everything around is so bleak, even Su Qin, who is outstanding, becomes bleak for a while. Meeting the other party's cold gaze calmly, Lin Yuexin's face was full of holiness and innocence, and she was not overwhelmed by the elegance brought by the other party's beautiful jade dimple.
"Oh, it turned out to be Sister Zimei. Yue Xin had heard about Sister Zimei's name for a long time, and only now did she realize that those rumors in the past were not enough to describe her." The gentle smile on Lin Yuexin's face was like Sunshine is usually enough to melt everything, even Zhu Zimei who is called "Frozen Rose" can't relax her face at this time and greet the greetings.
"Wow, Zhu Zimei can also laugh? This is the first time I've seen her. It seems that her name of Frozen Rose can be put to rest. This trip is worthwhile, this trip is worthwhile, enough, enough."
"Well, it really is worthy of being the three flowers of the old imperial capital. If those two flowers are also here, how charming this night will be!"
"Yes, Frozen Rose, Yingxue Peony, Sunshine Tulip, hehe, Tulip is already a member of His Highness King Qin, so it can naturally appear here, but Yingxue Peony may never appear at the reception of His Highness King Qin Right?"
No matter what kind of reception, women will always be an eternal topic, and the tongues of the gentry and nobles in the upper class will always fly around the pomegranate skirts of women, even this reception is no exception. Not to mention a beautiful and popular woman.
