Chapter 106
On that day, Mr. Ye’s birthday party was held successfully.
Ye Tianhui also caused a sensation in the entire Hong Kong horse racing world.
A fledgling female jockey, an unknown person, unexpectedly defeated the legendary jockey Ko Chi-ming with a bold attitude, creating an unprecedented legend in the Hong Kong season.
It is said that on this day, Hong Kong horse racing tickets set the highest single-day purchase record since the founding of the port. The enthusiasm of horse racing fans was on the rise, which naturally further established the Ye family's position in the horse racing world.
Major television stations, magazines and newspapers all reported on the event. The Hong Kong media used an exaggerated headline: "One horse flattens Happy Valley, the Queen of Horse Racing wins the Queen's Cup." The footage of the race was circulated overseas, causing a sensation overseas.
In this competition, Ye Tianhui got everything, including the Ye family's shares, her aunt's reward, and Mr. Gu's building. All she got was enough to make everyone look at her sideways.
But no one dared to be jealous, and no one dared to say anything, and everyone was convinced.
She has become a miracle in the Hong Kong horse racing world and a legend that horse racing experts are eager to report. Countless media outlets are crazy about interviewing her. Newspapers, magazines, and television stations are omnipresent, even going so far as to approach Ye Lixuan to try to meet her.
At this time, the final race of the Hong Kong horse racing season began.
Ko Chi-ming withdrew from the race, and Zhou Wanlan's Long Hua Beauty was ridden by a reserve jockey. The competition was fierce in the final race. In the end, Lin Jianquan's Hell King came first, Nie Pingqi's Invincible Power was second, and Chen Zongwan's Black Rose could only finish third.
The fourth place was occupied by an Indian jockey, while Zhou Wanlan's Longhua Beauty was ranked fifth.
This season's horse racing ended successfully, and the Ye family's reputation grew even greater.
Mr. Ye successfully joined the Jockey Club, the Meng family gave way, and the Ye family is about to preside over the construction of a new racecourse. The government has already decided on the site for the reclamation project, which will be located in Sha Tin.
As the news came out, housing prices in the Sha Tin area skyrocketed, and as a result, the value of the large plots of land owned by the Ye family increased, and Ye Tianhui's net worth also increased accordingly. With various shares and real estate under her name, she has become one of the richest women in Hong Kong.
At this time, Ye Tianhui also had an extraordinary status in the Ye family. All the descendants of the Ye family treated her with respect and made way for her. No one dared to be dissatisfied with her acquisition of real estate and the various things of the Ye family.
Ye Wenyong even retreated and handed over all the management affairs of the horse service company to her.
Ye Lizhen was not willing to accept it, but so what? He didn't even dare to say anything sarcastic.
This was not luck, nor was it opportunism. She was the one who decided the outcome with a single horse, thus laying the foundation for the Ye family in the horse racing world. This was absolute strength, enough to make everyone bow their heads.
If the racecourse can roar with wind and waves, then everyone will be convinced. This is faith, the faith of Hong Kong horse racing fans.
At this time, Ye Tianhui became an idol of Hong Kong horse racing fans. Everyone enthusiastically admired her, and various news media were chasing her frantically, so much so that Ye Tianhui had to be accompanied by more than a dozen security guards when she went out. Later, amid the boiling public opinion, she accepted an interview with the TV station.
When Ye Tianhui appeared on the TV program, the people of Hong Kong were all shocked.
Who could have thought that the woman who turned a galloping horse into something soft and graceful was so young. She was not even twenty years old. She was slender, tall, brave and beautiful!
When talking about horse racing, she spoke eloquently and confidently.
She answered the audience's questions with a smile and seemed approachable.
As soon as the program was broadcast, it caused a sensation throughout Hong Kong, and Ye Tianhui instantly became the most popular young lady in Hong Kong.
In addition, Lin Jianquan, as the champion jockey of this level of competition, naturally also attracted a lot of attention. However, what was unexpected was that in addition to Ye Tianhui and Lin Jianquan, the most popular ones were Hell King and Teng Yunwu, especially Teng Yunwu.
Countless horse fans began to study these two horses. People knew the story of Hell King who had once fallen into the slaughterhouse. Naturally, various media reporters did not hesitate to dig out the tragedy in it, and how this horse walked out of the slaughterhouse and reached the throne of championship.
Among them, how Ye Tianhui had the ability to judge people and how she rescued the King of Hell from the butcher's knife has become a legend.
People admire the indomitable spirit of the King of Hell and are shocked by the powerful strength contained in the horse.
Compared to everyone's admiration and love for the King of Hell, everyone actually laughed out loud at Teng Yunwu.
Horse fans soon dug up the horse's experience, how lazy, greedy, and not doing his job!
This is so funny!
However, it was such a horse that won the Queen's Cup Mountain Race after such a short period of training!
Everyone was shocked and loved Teng Yunwu so much that some people even drew cartoons for Teng Yunwu, depicting him as a lazy little pony, and even made up a series of short stories.
All of a sudden, not only Hong Kong horse racing fans, but even middle school students who didn't care about horse racing began to know about Teng Yunwu, the "lazy but fast-running" racehorse.
Teng Yunwu's fame exploded instantly and he became the most popular racehorse in Hong Kong. Even during the Chinese New Year, some people wanted Teng Yunwu's hoof autograph.
At this time, a magazine happened to contact Ye Tianhui's horse service company and talked about Teng Yunwu's "hoof greeting card".
After hearing this, Ye Tianhui thought it was a good idea, so she had someone paint Teng Yunwu's hooves with red ink, and then let it step on the hooves one by one to make "Auspicious Teng Yunwu Greeting Cards", which were then sold in limited quantities.
So that year, Tengyunwu auspicious greeting cards were a big hit and the price was raised several times.
Faced with the rising fame and fortune, Ye Tianhui was also very satisfied.
It can be said that we have a good harvest this year, everyone is happy, and we can have a good rest before the New Year.
So that day, Ye Tianhui went to the horse management company to hold a simple meeting, and simply gave the jockeys and other staff under her a week's vacation, letting them go out and play, and the company reimbursed all travel expenses.
In fact, everyone received a considerable bonus from this great victory, including a share of the prize money from horse racing, additional bonuses from the company, and of course the bonuses won from buying horse racing tickets outside. After adding these three together, everyone made a fortune and even started considering buying a house.
Ye Tianhui saw that everyone was discussing enthusiastically, and looked at Lin Jianquan who was standing aside. He had not said much.
She smiled and said, "Jianquan, what are your plans? Do you want to buy a house?"
Lin Jianquan looked at Ye Tianhui and said, "I don't have any ideas yet."
Ye Tianhui nodded slightly and asked, "I heard from Old Sun that you want to send your mother to the United States for treatment?"
Lin Jianquan nodded: "If possible, I hope to give her better treatment."
Ye Tianhui: "I asked Assistant Sun today and asked him to help look up some information. I also asked Shi Zhang to contact the hospital. For the specific situation, you can talk to Assistant Sun and ask him to help you arrange it."
Lin Jianquan was a little surprised: "Okay, thank you, and thank you Mr. Gu, I really don't know the medical situation there, I'm confused now."
Ye Tianhui smiled and said, "It's just a piece of cake."
Sun Jiajing said, "Since the eldest lady has arranged everything for you, you don't have to go with us. You can go to the United States and spend time with your mother!"
Lin Jianquan: "Yeah, I know."
Everyone was in high spirits for a while, discussing where to travel and buying a house. After all, everyone had made a fortune, really made a fortune, and had enough money to buy a house.
That's how it is in this business. If you get lucky once, you can make a fortune that will last you for years.
Having said that, everyone couldn't help but talk about this horse race. Everything was so magical that they were amazed after discussing it several times, and it even felt like they hadn't come to their senses yet.
Jessise asked curiously, "I heard that Ke Zhiming left Hong Kong. He completely withdrew from the Hong Kong horse racing industry and moved to the United States with his family to settle down. He won't be coming back."
Sun Jiajing nodded. "Yes, he lost to Mr. Ye this time, and he accepted the defeat wholeheartedly. He also warned the other bugs he had led that if they encountered our horses in the future, they must remember to give way."
When he mentioned this, he naturally felt a little proud.
The horse racing industry actually has its own circles. Ke Zhiming has been operating in Hong Kong for so many years, and he has many subordinates who have followed him. Now Ke Zhiming has been defeated by them, and the defeat was so convincing. From then on, Ke Zhiming's disciples would avoid them when they saw them. Of course, they were very proud and proud.
In response to this, Ye Tianhui said: "Ke Zhiming is indeed a genius on horseback."
She looked at Lin Jianquan and Chen Zongwan: "You are far inferior to him now."
Sun Jiajing listened, feeling somewhat unconvinced: "He's nothing more than that."
Ye Tianhui smiled and said, "He is greater than you think."
She finally discovered the secret by replaying the videotape over and over again.
In order to make up for the defect of this eye, Ke Zhiming naturally paid a great price.
It was precisely because he paid a price that Nie Pingqi was able to get the upper hand over Ke Zhiming. Otherwise, Nie Pingqi would never be Ke Zhiming's opponent, and Lin Jianquan and Chen Zongwan certainly would not be either.
After all, this is a legend of Hong Kong.
But she didn't want to say much about this.
If Ke Zhiming wanted to keep this secret, she would never tell anyone.
Naturally, everyone disagreed, so Ye Tianhui smiled and talked about something else. As she was talking, the topic turned to Teng Yunwu.
Old Zhou sighed, "Boss Ye, I can't figure it out. Why did Tengyunwu suddenly unleash this potential?"
What he didn't want to say was that no one had any hope for such a lazy horse. He had actually trained it privately and tried to whip it, but Teng Yunwu was Teng Yunwu.
I am willful, I am delicate, I am not affected by the sufferings of the world, I just won’t run away!
I'm just lazy!
Jessise next to him was also confused: "Recently, I met someone who asked me what was going on with Teng Yunwu. He said that it was Mr. Ye's pet horse, so how did it suddenly become so powerful?"
Sun Jiajing also didn't understand: "So how did Mr. Ye make Teng Yunwu suddenly realize his potential, and even... run so well."
Sun Jiajing didn't know how to describe it. This was not simply "running so well" but rather a miraculous skill, and it was the unity of man and horse. One could say that when passing those small hills, the horse's figure was like flowing water, like a butterfly flying through the flowers, which was simply amazing. This could only be possible if there was the greatest tacit understanding between man and horse, and of course it required the jockey to have extraordinary skills in controlling the reins.
He sighed, "What the hell is going on?"
When Sun Jiajing asked this question, Lin Jianquan and Chen Zongwan also looked at Ye Tianhui.
As they said that day, this is what they want to surpass and emulate throughout their lives.
They admired her and were full of respect for her, but they also naturally wanted to know why she could do this.
Ye Tianhui naturally felt the curiosity of the two people.
She was silent for a moment before she said, "This is the tacit understanding between Teng Yunwu and me. Teng Yunwu is a lazy horse. He has always been lazy and will always be lazy. This is just an occasional outburst in his life. So this is something that we don't have any experience to follow, and there's no need for you to ask why."
***********
Of course, Ye Tianhui would never talk about or mention her previous life of war and battle.
Those things engraved in Teng Yunwu's soul are also engraved in one's own soul. It takes only a little training to mobilize the tacit understanding.
Of course, Ye Tianhui still hopes to let herself go and let Teng Yunwu go. They can live a peaceful and lazy life in this life. That's it, perfect.
The "you" she mentioned of course included Gu Shizhang.
She didn't want to mention anything to Gu Shizhang, but fortunately Gu Shizhang was very understanding and never asked anything.
She became famous this time, and Gu Shizhang seemed to keep a close eye on her. He would come to visit the Ye family every now and then, pick her up and drop her off every day, and follow her wherever she went.
However, since the two of them have now made their relationship public, he is also justified.
Don’t ask, if you do, the answer will be “This is what a boyfriend should do.”
In the blink of an eye, it was Chinese New Year. Hong Kong values tradition and the streets and alleys were bustling with activity. The Ye family also decorated their home, hanging red lanterns, orchids, fortune oranges and peach blossoms everywhere, making the home look festive.
From Ye Tianhui's perspective, it has to be said that this place actually retains more of the traditional flavor of the New Year than the mainland.
During the Chinese New Year, Ye Tianhui also went to see Jiang Lingfeng. In fact, a big event this year was that a Lunar New Year martial arts film became a hit, and the leading actor was Jiang Lingfeng.
Ye Tianhui looked at this scene and was naturally happy for Jiang Lingfeng.
Jiang Lingfeng remained the same as before. He said that he made a lot of money this time, but he still had a lot to learn. He also said that he wanted to transfer Xiaoyuer to a more upscale school.
Grandma Jiang Lingfeng and Xiao Yuer were both very excited, their faces were full of happiness and their hearts were full of joy.
Ye Tianhui felt relieved when she saw this. She thought of Lin Jianquan again and thought about how it had only been a short time and everyone seemed to have made a fortune and was living a prosperous life.
Everything went well for the Ye family this year, so naturally they had a rich and grand year. Ye Tianhui received red envelopes from all the elders, and the ones given by Old Man Ye, Ye Lixuan, and Ye Yibai and his wife were particularly generous.
After the Chinese New Year, Ye Tianhui followed Old Man Ye to visit relatives and friends everywhere, and received red envelopes everywhere.
Even when she went to the Gu family to pay New Year's greetings, not only the elders, but even Gu Shizhang gave her one.
Ye Tianhui took the red envelope and wanted to laugh: "What for?"
There were many people around, so Gu Shizhang smiled and whispered, "So you don't have to call me stingy."
Ye Tianhui reluctantly said: "Okay, then I'll accept it."
As he was speaking, a little girl nearby saw him. The little girl exclaimed in surprise, "My fourth grandfather gave my future fourth grandmother a red envelope! It's so big!"
The child's voice was so sweet and loud that everyone around could hear it.
Everyone looked over curiously.
Being looked at like this, Ye Tianhui actually blushed for the first time.
Gu Shizhang simply shook Ye Tianhui's hand and said with a smile: "She is an adult, of course she should get a big one, Ayue, don't you think?"
Ah Yue scratched her head in confusion and said loudly, "Yes!"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone around them laughed.
Old Master Gu was full of praise for Ye Tianhui. Ye Tianhui was now very famous. Her amazing performance in the Queen's Cup Mountain Bike Race had shocked people overseas.
The sensation caused by this incident was unimaginable to everyone, so much so that even the Queen in England asked about it. The British royal family was also shocked by this and expressed their intention to award Ye Tianhui the Jockey's Medal.
Ye Tianhui declined.
Everyone naturally felt a little sorry about this, but when Old Master Ye mentioned it, he smiled and said, "Tianhui has her own ideas. Since she doesn't want to accept this appointment, then so be it."
After everyone listened, they stopped talking about it and started talking about other things.
Now that the Gu family and the Ye family were indeed going to get married, they would naturally become closer to each other. As the elders sat there and talked, they inevitably talked too much because they asked about their plans for next year.
We talked about the old traditions during the Chinese New Year, and somehow we mentioned the Packing Mountain on Cheung Chau Island. We heard it was an old tradition, and everyone was very excited and said they wanted to go and see it.
Mr. Gu suddenly remembered: "I remember Shi Zhang bought an oasis on an outlying island before. Isn't that very close to Changzhou Island?"
Gu Shizhang said, "Yes, it's not far south of Changzhou Island. It takes about ten minutes by yacht."
After listening to this, Mr. Gu waved his hand and said, "In that case, after the New Year, why not go over there to have fun and see the local customs? It will be lively that way."
When the younger generations of the Gu family heard about "Packing Mountain", they immediately felt that it was boring. After all, it was a tradition from old years. What was the point? However, when they heard about going to the oasis, they became interested.
They knew that Gu Shizhang's private oasis was well maintained and it would be pleasant to visit there. Although it was not as good as going abroad, it was still pretty good among the scenery of the outlying islands of Hong Kong.
Since Mr. Gu said so, naturally everyone had to go. Since Ye Tianhui was there too, the two old men somehow persuaded Ye Tianhui to go and play with them as well.
Old Master Ye smiled and said, "That's good. Tianhui is usually busy with horse racing and doesn't have the time. Now it's a good opportunity for them to play together more."
As soon as the old people said this, the matter was settled without Ye Tianhui having to say anything.
She glanced at the Gu family in confusion.
Gu Zhihan, Gu Zhiming, Gu Jiayue and others were all there.
It would be fine for other people, but the look in Gu Zhihan's eyes when he looked at her was filled with indescribable meaning and was very complicated.
So she was actually going on vacation with these people?
Is this a vacation or a torture?
She glanced at Gu Shizhang, who gave her a reassuring look.
She barely felt better.
Ye Lixuan was also there, but he hadn't said much. When he heard this, he glanced at Gu Shizhang. Later that day, Gu Shizhang took Ye Tianhui to play under the peach tree over there. The peach tree was covered with red auspicious cards and small red envelopes.
Gu Shizhang whispered, "You don't like it?"
Ye Tianhui: "I think your Gu family is really lax in family management, and your descendants are not up to standard. Except for your nephew Gu Zhiming, there are not many good people among them."
Gu Shizhang: “…”
He had no choice but to say, "I am here, right? The outlying island oasis was my property and my territory. What's mine is yours. Now that they're on your territory, you have the final say."
Ye Tianhui listened and her heart moved: "That makes sense."
Anyway, these people are all juniors, and now they should be the ones to curry favor with her and obey her will.
She thought to herself, "Anyway, whoever is blind, I'll just be the vicious aunt and make them regret it."
Gu Shizhang smiled and said, "That's right, let's do it."
Ye Tianhui thought of Gu Zhihan: "Your good nephew Zhihan, do you know what's going on with him and Feng Wenyin now?"
Feng Wenyin is Ye Wenyin, who changed her surname.
Ever since her relationship with Gu Shizhang was made public, it was obvious that the Gu family was very dissatisfied with the relationship between Gu Zhihan and Ye Wenyin, and the Ye family was also very displeased with Ye Wenyin.
The two elders sat together to discuss this matter, and finally, Old Man Ye came forward to talk to Ye Wenyin. The meaning was naturally to let her leave the Ye family, so that she could be with whoever she wanted, and the Ye family would not interfere.
However, Ye Wenyin can leave, but Feng Suqin cannot leave - of course, Feng Suqin doesn't want to leave at this time.
After this, Ye Wenyin actually agreed to leave this time.
After leaving, she changed her surname to Feng Wenyin.
Feng Wenyin now lives outside and is still having a hot relationship with Gu Zhihan. It seems that she is being supported by Gu Zhihan.
Old Master Ye naturally did not like this matter, as he thought she had brought shame to the Ye family, but he could not care less about it for the moment. After all, it was New Year's Day, and he did not want to be ruined by the daughter of a mere servant.
Gu Shizhang said casually: "I don't know the details, but he can do whatever he wants if he wants to date someone outside. But my second sister-in-law is very strict about who he wants to marry into the family."
Ye Tianhui understood as soon as she heard this.
The Gu family naturally wanted to marry the daughter of a famous family. In the past, Ye Wenyin could not even catch the eye of Gu Zhihan's mother, let alone Feng Wenyin now, which was even more impossible.
In other words, Feng Wenyin and Gu Zhihan are together now, but they actually have no official status, and they will not have any official status in the future.
After all, the Gu family has to save face. If Gu Shizhang marries herself, then Gu Zhihan will never marry a former daughter of the Ye family. Even if Gu Zhihan loves Feng Wenyin, he can only keep her outside.
She was thinking about Feng Wenyin, but she remembered Feng Suqin.
Communications between Hong Kong and the mainland are not well developed, and communication between government departments is even more inefficient. It happened to be the Chinese New Year, and there was no news from the public security department there.
In fact, sometimes when I think about this incident, I want to hang Feng Suqin on a tree and beat her severely to force her to confess.
But it's not necessary to think about it. There is still a long time to come. Just wait and see. Feng Suqin can't escape anyway.
Feng Wenyin is so busy taking care of herself that she has no time to care about her own mother. If Ye Lizhen dares to take action, that would be a good opportunity as he would have a handle on her.
Of course, there is also the second wife...
Ye Tianhui thought about it this way, and she immediately withdrew her thoughts: "Forget it, just ignore them. They don't bother me anyway."
Gu Shizhang smiled warmly: "Yes."
He took her hand and said, "Come with me and play over there."
Ye Tianhui: “Ah?”
Gu Shizhang: "I prepared a New Year's gift for you. I'm giving it to you secretly, otherwise others will be jealous of you."
…that sounds good!
She smiled and said, "Okay!"
Gu Shizhang then took Ye Tianhui to his residence, which was located on the second floor of a European-style building. It was decorated in a very elegant and quiet manner, and it was obvious that a lot of thought had been put into the decoration.
But now there is a fortune orange placed at the door, which looks festive and very inconsistent.
Ye Tianhui couldn't help laughing when she saw it: "Where are the fortune oranges!"
It was the same in the Ye family. Fortune oranges could be seen everywhere, no matter whether it was the elegant traditional Chinese style or the Western European style. They were all fortune oranges or peach blossom oranges, and the people of Hong Kong loved them.
Gu Shizhang smiled and held her hand: "So what? Life is long and it's New Year's Day, so let's just hope for good luck."
As he spoke, he picked an orange and handed it directly to Ye Tianhui: "Try it."
Ye Tianhui tasted it and found it tasted good, very juicy, and better than what she had tasted before.
She wondered, "Why is yours better than ours?"
Gu Shizhang: "The feng shui is good."
As he said that, he led her to his room.
His room is very big. Outside is a separate living room with large floor-to-ceiling windows from which you can see the garden. There is also a study and fitness equipment next to it.
Gu Shizhang showed her around and then took her to the study.
As soon as she entered the study, Ye Tianhui was attracted by a painting.
It was an ink painting, clearly a traditional Chinese style, but it depicted a scene from a Western horse racing track. The most eye-catching part was a woman in a red knight's outfit, holding the reins in her left hand as she galloped on her horse. The painter had powerful brushstrokes, and with just a few strokes he managed to outline the jockey's agile posture and the horse's neighing with its mane raised, even making one seem as if one could hear the clattering of the horse's hooves.
Ye Tianhui couldn't help but feel familiar: "Who is this?"
Gu Shizhang: "Painting."
Ye Tianhui stared at it for a long time: "Isn't this me?"
Gu Shizhang chuckled: "It shows that I am a great painter."
Ye Tianhui took a deep breath: "Did you draw this?"
Gu Shizhang: "Why, is it strange?"
Ye Tianhui couldn't believe it. She looked him up and down for a long time, then continued to look at the painting. The figure and aura of the woman in the picture really looked like her. The more she looked, the more she looked like herself!
Chinese painting is like this. It is not as meticulously described as Western painting, but it can express the full charm of the painting with just a few simple strokes.
She praised repeatedly: "You actually have such a skill, you can actually draw so well!"
When she said this, she suddenly remembered that the saint of the past was also an amazing painter when he was young.
In an instant, the excited heart suddenly calmed down.
She stood in front of the painting, looking at the swaying grass in the wind, looking at the female rider in red, looking at her heroic figure, looking at the exhilaration of flying in the wind.
Looking at it this way, she suddenly felt that everything became blurry. Through this painting, she seemed to see the distant past and the distant self.
At this moment, she understood.
He used the painting skills he had accumulated since childhood in his previous life to depict himself in this life, but he was also recalling himself in his previous life.
Ye Tianhui looked at the painting silently, looking at the familiar brushstrokes.
She even felt like she was back in the palace a thousand years ago. The saint was standing beside her, and the pair of eyes behind the crown said with a smile, Huihui, do you like it?
As time goes by and the stars move, he is always by my side, always by my side.
For a moment, she even had the urge to put everything aside, turn around, and say to him with a smile, "It's been a thousand years, and I hope you are well."
But after this step is taken, the window paper is broken. What will be the ending between the two people?
How to face it?
Just as her thoughts were racing, a pair of hands gently held hers.
Afterwards, she heard the man next to her say, "There are daffodils on the balcony. They just bloomed in the past few days. Do you want to go and see them?"
Ye Tianhui slowly raised her eyes and her gaze fell on his face.
His eyes were smiling and his expression was warm, just like the sunshine in March.
So the confusion just now disappeared in an instant.
She smiled too: "Okay."
