Chapter 236 Jockey Club
Xu Miaomiao took out the whip and examined it carefully. Her fingertips rubbed the whip, making a creaking sound. "It is indeed a good whip."
With a gleam in her eyes, Xu Miaomiao picked up the whip, shook it twice in the air, and said to Song Zhijin, "Thank you, Madam Song."
"Why are you being polite?"
Song Zhijin looked at Xu Miaomiao and slowly said, "In a few days, there will be a horse race in this capital. I guess Madam Xu has never been there!"
When Xu Miaomiao heard this, she thought about it carefully. The last time she encountered a horse was in Bai County. She shook her head in confusion.
Song Zhijin continued, "This horse race will be attended by all the handsome men and beautiful women in the capital. It's called horse racing, but in fact, it's for the young ladies in the capital to see each other. If anyone likes one, they can get engaged reasonably."
"I see."
Xu Miaomiao nodded and said, "Since it is for these men and women to see, I won't bother them."
After all, she is a married woman now, so it’s boring for her to read these things.
Hearing that she was going to refuse, Song Zhijin immediately said, "Although it has no meaning to you, I heard that you have a daughter. It would be a good thing to plan for your daughter early on. Now you have been given such a whip. You must perform well on the day of the Jockey Club."
When Xu Miaomiao heard Song Zhijin talking about Erbao, her originally bright eyes dimmed a little. This person even knew everything about her family affairs.
Xu Miaomiao immediately made an excuse and shirked her responsibility: "The child is still young, this is not the time to talk about this. Miaomiao has just arrived in the capital and is not very familiar with the rules of the capital, so I won't disturb Madam Song's interest."
Seeing that she was still trying to refuse, Song Zhijin's expression became a little tense, and her eyes dimmed a little. She continued, "Madam Xu, you must go. You hit the nail on the head last time. If you come to the Jockey Club this time, there will be a lot more to see. Besides, there are many officials and families in the Jockey Club. If you get to know these people, it will surely be of great benefit to your department store."
"Then follow what Madam Song said. Miaomiao will bother you guys that day."
"No problem, no problem."
Seeing that the goal had been achieved, Song Zhijin said a few more words to Xu Miaomiao and then left.
Watching the woman leave gracefully, Xu Miaomiao tilted her head. Song Zhijin was trying to find a way to get herself to attend the ball, and no one knew what her intention was. Compared to Princess Jiahe who was really bad, Song Zhijin, who hid her thoughts in the deepest part, was the most terrifying.
"Miao Miao, what are you thinking about?" Gu Yuan's mother came out from the kitchen and brought a few dishes, and saw Xu Miaomiao staring at the door in a daze.
Seeing that the meal was ready, Xu Miaomiao closed the door and started to enjoy her lunch.
"I may have to go out in a couple of days, so I'll have to trouble you to look after this store, Liu Niang."
"Okay, okay." Gu Yuanniang responded. Although she had been worried about Xu Qingshan's affairs these days, she was still able to take care of the store with ease.
Xu Qingshan has always been very weak and unable to eat. He has become much more haggard due to the daily care he has received over the past few years. Gu Yuanniang misses the bouquet of red anthuriums day and night and hopes it can be delivered soon.
Cui Yuan was also an honest man. He promised Gu Yuan's mother what he wanted and went to do it immediately. A few days later, Xiao Si delivered the things over.
Xiao Si handed a wooden box to Xu Miaomiao and said, "This is something our master asked me to deliver. He said that Madam Gu would know after seeing it."
Xu Miaomiao opened the wooden box, and a bright red lotus appeared in the box.
When Gu Yuanniang saw the flower, she also smiled: "That's great, that's great, Qingshan can finally be saved."
Xu Miaomiao took the things and went into the room, intending to give Xu Qingshan good treatment.
This red anthurium is also highly poisonous. If it is not used properly, it may endanger life. Xu Miaomiao calculated the dosage and carefully handed the thing to Xu Qingshan.
Black blood spurted out, and Xu Qingshan's face changed again and again, and finally slowly turned pale again.
When Gu Yuanniang came in, she saw a pool of black blood on the ground and asked Xu Miaomiao anxiously, "What's the situation now?"
Xu Miaomiao showed a rare happy expression on her face: "The poison has been resolved, but my body is still relatively weak. I will be fine after resting for two more days."
After saying that, he looked at Gu Yuanniang who was standing beside him and said, "But Liuniang, if he gets better, he will have to leave the department store. Maybe you will never see each other again in the future."
Gu Yuanniang looked at the fainted figure on the bed and shook her head: "As long as he is fine, it doesn't matter whether we see him or not."
Then he asked Xu Miaomiao, "Isn't this what it means to love someone? I just want him to be good, whether I am good or not, it doesn't matter."
Hearing this, Xu Miaomiao shook her head helplessly and turned away.
The date of the Jockey Club was just around the corner, and Xu Miaomiao couldn't help but tell Song Wushao about it.
Unexpectedly, the man's face darkened when he heard this, and he hugged Miaomiao's waist tightly: "The Jockey Club is full of talented men and beautiful women who like each other. You are a married woman, could it be that you have fallen in love with some young man?"
Hearing Song Wushao's words, Xu Miaomiao curled her lips in displeasure and said, "If I go, I can get to know more people, which will naturally be good for the business of the department store. For example, the banquet I organized for the general's wife last time brought some reputation to the department store."
Hearing this, Song Wushao hugged Xu Miaomiao tighter and said, "It's my incompetence that I failed to help you."
"Don't say that." When Xu Miaomiao heard Song Wushao say this, she immediately covered his mouth and said, "You are Song Wushao. In just a few years, you have easily passed the imperial examination and achieved what you have today. I will not allow you to belittle yourself."
Hearing this, Song Wu Shao hummed softly. He buried his head in Xu Miaomiao's body, greedily absorbing her scent.
"By the way." Song Wushao raised his head, looked at Xu Miaomiao and said slowly: "Song Zhijin, this person is definitely not kind, you must not make close friends with him."
Xu Miaomiao nodded and hugged Song Wushao back: "Don't worry, I know what's going on."
After what happened last time, she understood that Song Zhijin was definitely not a simple person and was good at using a knife to kill someone else. Although the competition was instigated by Lord Jiahe, it was Song Zhijin who fanned the flames.
These two people are trying to torture him in various ways. Sooner or later, Xu Miaomiao will have a foothold in this capital city.
