Mr. Feng Shui of the Republic of China
Chapter 5
"Besides, I don't know how to dance..." Lan Chengyun narrowed his eyes and said.
"It doesn't matter, I can teach you."
Lan Chengyun still shook his head: "My identity is embarrassing after all."
"You are my friend, who dares to make random arrangements."
No matter how Sun Wenxi tried to persuade him, Lan Chengyun never let go, and finally said: "Being friends with someone like me will embarrass Young Master Sun." After speaking, he turned his face inside and said nothing more.
Sun Wenxi turned his nose up.
It was windy at night, and Sun Wenxi stood in front of the troupe's signboard, slowly smoking a cigar.
Suddenly, Xia Jingsheng's voice came from behind him: "If he doesn't want to, why bother to force him?"
Under the light of the big red lanterns, Xia Jingsheng's cold eyes were gilded with a layer of bright color.
Sun Wenxi pinched out the cigarette: "I didn't force him, I just got angry at him for not fighting."
Xia Jingsheng said indifferently: "What are you fighting for? The ball was full of celebrities and aristocrats, and many of them even invited him to sing at their residence. Seeing that Young Master Sun brought people here, they didn't say anything on the surface, but they didn't know what to say behind their backs." How many ugly words."
"Xia Jingsheng, it's not your turn to teach me right now." Sun Wenxi's eyes were full of peach blossoms, and there was always a smile in the corner of his eyes, but there was no warmth in that smile. You belong to Young Master Xia."
The rickshaw had already stopped in front of him, Xia Jingsheng smiled lightly: "Then do you believe the rumors?"
Sun Wenxi didn't answer.
Xia Jingsheng stepped into the rickshaw, waved his hand, the driver lifted the frame, and trotted away.
Sun Wenxi stood where he was, seeing the ruts making two marks on the ground.
Three days later, the ball started, and the lights in the He's mansion were brightly lit.
When Xia Jingsheng arrived, the servant who welcomed the guests looked at the long gown on him, was slightly taken aback, and said respectfully, "Sir, your invitation card."
Xia Jingsheng had just handed over the invitation when a familiar voice suddenly came from behind.
"So you were invited too."
Xia Jingsheng turned his head and saw Sun Wenxi looking at him playfully.
He Mansion is a three-story Western-style building. The hall on the first floor is very spacious, suitable for entertaining guests.
Many people have already gathered in the hall, and they are getting together in twos and threes at this moment.
He Kaipin, the second young master of the He family, saw Xia Jingsheng at a glance, and greeted Xia Jingsheng with a smile: "Brother Jingsheng."
Xia Jingsheng nodded: "I heard that Kai Qing came back from abroad?"
"Yeah, I'm used to being wild in foreign countries, and I even learn how to perm my head... Qing'er, come say hello to Brother Jing Sheng."
He Kaiqing walked up to her brother with high heels on her feet, and her eyes lit up when she saw Sun Wenxi beside her.
"Don't look at her pretending to be a lady at the moment, she will show her true colors in a short time."
"Brother, don't make arrangements for me in front of outsiders." He Kaiqing stared and said generously, "Brother Jing Sheng, long time no see."
After saying hello, He Kaipin looked at Sun Wenxi at the side: "Who is this?"
"Sun Wenxi."
"It turned out to be Young Master Sun. Baohui Bank has landed in Jiangcheng. Congratulations... Young Master Sun is really a good-looking talent, young and promising." When He Kaipin was speaking, He Kaiqing kept staring at Sun Wenxi, and when Sun Wenxi looked over, she hurriedly moved away open sight.
After the simple greetings, the brothers and sisters of the He family went to greet other guests as usual.Xia Jingsheng found a secluded corner and sat down. He never expected that Sun Wenxi would stick to him as soon as he sat down.
"What are you doing with me?"
"I don't know anyone at this ball, tell me about it." Sun Wenxi smiled and pointed to the front, "I recognize that one, Wang Yuqi, where is the one next to him?"
"That is He Kaisheng, the eldest son of the He family. He is the adopted son of the He family and is raised under the name of the eldest wife of the He family. The He Kaipin and He Kaiqing you just met are the sons and daughters of the second wife of the He family. .”
"Where's the eldest lady of the He family?"
"Passed away from an illness... Da Furen has always been in poor health. She adopted He Kaicheng for joy, but Da Furen still couldn't make it through." Xia Jingsheng glanced at Sun Wenxi, "If you want to talk about business, you have to Dealing with this eldest son, he is in charge of all the affairs of the He family sugar factory."
Sun Wenxi pointed to the left: "Who are those two?"
"That's Duan Yicai, the eldest young master of the Duan family, and Duan Yilian, the young lady of the Duan family. The eldest young master studied in a private school, and Miss Duan has studied abroad. There is also a second young master in the Duan family, who is currently abroad and has not returned to China."
No wonder the eldest and youngest of the Duan family were wearing long gowns, and the young lady of the Duan family was wearing a western skirt. Standing together, they looked out of place.
Under Xia Jingsheng's introduction, Sun Wenxi recognized the younger generations of the four major families, and suddenly saw a person coming in at the entrance: "Xia Jingsheng, isn't that your brother?"
At the same time, Xia Jingrui also saw Xia Jingsheng.
"Hey, brother, the He family is holding a new-style dance. How can you dance in such a long gown?" Xia Jingrui had a gloating expression, and suddenly saw Sun Wenxi sitting at the side, and swallowed back the harsh words on his lips.
"Mr. Sun is here too..."
"Mr. Xia..." Sun Wenxi nodded, "I was talking to your brother, and you happened to be here."
Xia Jingrui glanced at his brother who looked normal, "Then I won't bother you."
When the people walked away, Sun Wenxi sneered: "As soon as I entered the door, I rushed to arrange you. It seems that the relationship between your brothers is not very good."
The ball started, and He Kaiqing walked towards Xia Jingsheng with her skirt slipped along with the melodious dance music.
"Brother Jing Sheng, let's go dance." He Kaiqing said, but kept glancing at Sun Wenxi.
"Sorry, I'm not good at..."
He Kaiqing's face turned red all of a sudden, and she couldn't get off the stage. When she was embarrassed, a gentle voice came from her ear: "This beautiful lady, can I ask you to dance?"
He Kaiqing blushed and smiled, "Of course."
Sun Wenxi's invitation was exactly what she wanted.
She is wearing a snow-white western dress today, with bits and pieces of diamonds around her neck.
Sun Wenxi was wearing a white suit, and the two stood together, like a prince and princess in a fairy tale, immediately attracting everyone's attention.
It just so happened that both of them had experience of studying abroad, and they were also masters in dancing. They quickly found a rhythm and cooperated very well.
After a dance, there was warm applause on the stage, and He Kaipin came over: "I heard that Sun Shao's dancing skills are amazing. When I saw him today, he was really extraordinary."
As soon as these words came out, everyone present looked at Sun Wenxi one after another.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, He Kaiqing took Sun Wenxi's hand and invited him to play a game of "throwing the bouquet".
The so-called "flower ball throwing" is a group of two men and women, the woman throws the flower ball, and the man catches it. The winner is determined according to the number of balls caught. dance.
Under He Kaiqing's proposal, a total of six groups of guests participated in the competition.
So, the guests saw such a scene: a row of men holding baskets in their arms, ready to catch the flower balls thrown by their female companions.
This seemingly simple gameplay actually requires a good overall view and precise prediction.Sun Wenxi moves flexibly and can often catch the bouquet.But halfway through the game, someone hit Sun Wenxi's arm hard.
Immediately afterwards, the ball thrown by He Kaiqing fell into Duan Yicai's basket.
He Kaiqing complained dissatisfied: "That's our ball! Duan Yicai!"
It was only then that Sun Wenxi discovered that the person who bumped into him was Duan Yicai, the eldest son of the Duan family. Although the eldest son of the Duan family was wearing a long gown, he moved very quickly.
Duan Yicai was confident: "The rules only say catching the ball, not who's ball to catch."
"Strong words!" Just as He Kaiqing finished speaking, the game time was over.
Due to such a commotion, Sun Wenxi and Duan Yicai had more than half fewer balls than the other groups, and Duan Yicai caught another ball from Sun Wenxi. In the end, Sun Wenxi's total number of balls caught was helplessly at the bottom.
Amidst the booing of the crowd, he walked to the box containing the name cards and took out one from inside.
On the name card that was pulled out, it was written in black and white: Xia Jingsheng.
Sun Wenxi was startled, then smiled, and looked at Xia Jingsheng who was sitting on the sofa.
He walked over and held out his hand to Xia Jingsheng: "Sir, can I ask you to dance?"
Xia Jingsheng: "I... don't know how to..."
"I can teach you." Sun Wenxi's eyes were sincere, and his attitude was so sincere that it was hard to refuse.
The moment he entered the dance floor, Xia Jingsheng heard the whispers of the guests around him.But Sun Wenxi standing in front of him had a serious face: "Hold my shoulder."
"Come on, follow me..."
Under Sun Wenxi's guidance, Xia Jingsheng gradually mastered the essentials, stepping on the slow-tempo music, following Sun Wenxi's dance steps, gradually getting better.
Those who were waiting to see Xia Jingsheng's jokes all died down.
After the last closing dance, Xia Jingsheng was in a daze for a moment when he met Sun Wenxi's affectionate eyes, and he was stunned for a moment. He didn't let go of his hand until there was warm applause from all around.
"A quick learner and a good dancer."
As he said that, Sun Wenxi smiled and handed him a glass of champagne. Xia Jingsheng took a sip. The champagne was a little sour in the mouth, but afterwards it had a complex fruity aroma, which was very elegant.
One after another, guests came to inquire about Feng Shui taboos, some asked for money, and some looked at the future fortune.
He Kaipin asked Xia Jingsheng to count peach blossoms, using the method of measuring characters.
Soon, He Kaipin wrote the word to be tested on the paper, which was the word "punishment".
He Kaipin asked anxiously, "Brother Jing Sheng, what's the result?"
"It literally shows that you have met Zhengyuan Taohua."
"Really!" He Kaipin was very excited.
"The words you wrote have the meaning of 'two people are righteous', which shows that the two of you are sincere to each other, and this is a good relationship."
He Kaipin thanked Xia Jingsheng loudly.
After seeing off the fifth guest who asked him about Feng Shui, Xia Jingsheng's shoulders were suddenly embraced.
"Let me lean on for a while."
Xia Jingsheng smelled the smell of alcohol rushing towards his face, frowned and said, "How much have you drunk?"
"Don't mention it, toasting in turn, I don't remember how much I drank." Even after drinking like this, Sun Wenxi still had a decent smile on his face, "Let me hang on for a while."
Xia Jingsheng's wrist was held, and when he looked up again, Sun Wenxi was already in a state of half-dream and half-awake, but the strength in his hand did not loosen at all.
"It doesn't matter, I can teach you."
Lan Chengyun still shook his head: "My identity is embarrassing after all."
"You are my friend, who dares to make random arrangements."
No matter how Sun Wenxi tried to persuade him, Lan Chengyun never let go, and finally said: "Being friends with someone like me will embarrass Young Master Sun." After speaking, he turned his face inside and said nothing more.
