[Titanic] Golden House

Chapter 12

To be honest, the receptions of the rich in [-] were no worse than those of later generations.Aristocrats, upstarts, proud and reserved.More is arrogance.And those new upstarts generally have no way to participate in this kind of reception.

Rose held Lin Xi's arm, and walked in gracefully holding an extremely delicate ivory fan.

In such a formal reception, the demeanor and significance of a British woman's fan is definitely not so simple.

The small ivory fan in Rose's hand was customized by Rufu after a long time.A thin layer, carved with blooming roses.Gently shake, a different style.Especially the handle of the fan is made of crystal and pearls.Noble, elegant, with understated luxury.

Rose was undoubtedly beautiful.Exquisite appearance, graceful waist.And the distinctive bookishness all over his body made Ann Linxi, as a male companion, feel very proud.

Ann Linxi, one of Rose's many suitors, was able to bring Rose to a reception like today.He already understood Rose's softened attitude.After all, before this, Rose would never agree to attend the reception as someone else's girlfriend.

Actually, Lin Xi didn't know.This kind of thing is very common in later generations.Generally, single girls will not agree to the invitation of the opposite sex on Valentine's Day.But in a different time and space, under the circumstances that there are not many people in the upper class, Rose naturally couldn't agree.This promise to attend is like agreeing to a relationship.

The reason why Rose agreed to attend today was because a telegram came from Huaxia a few days ago.They hope to be able to purchase a batch of high-quality munitions for the uprising.This kind of thing, in fact, can be handed over to Carter for Rose.

It's just that the cost of this batch of munitions is really too high, and when Carter came forward, the unit price of the munitions was only enough to buy two-thirds of the whole plan.That's why Rose is going to use the most famous beauty trap in ancient and modern China and abroad.

However, the effect was also very good. Not only was the arms deal completed within the cost, but Rose also got Browning's first design sketch based on the designer's hobby of female sex.In the arms business, it’s not that if you buy it at the time, it’s in stock at that time.The shipment will not be delivered until July at the earliest.

So after the business was negotiated, Rose couldn't cross the river and tear down the bridge at Linxi's invitation anyway, let alone the river hadn't crossed yet.Even in the past.Could it be that this hammer has been bought and sold?

People are selfish, and Rose is no exception.In the upcoming World War I and World War II, how could the arms business of Lin Xi's family be depressed, so only by ensuring a good cooperative relationship can they have this resource for a long time.

Rose is actually quite satisfied with this young and handsome arms dealer heir.Although in her heart, she prefers oriental men.Don't say anything gentle and elegant, at least less hairy.Nuts, especially foreign men, have too much hair on their bodies.Especially the hairy hair on the chest, if you beat it with both hands, and then match it with bared teeth, how can it be described as a Tarzan of an ape.

An extremely beautiful face, and then lightly painted a layer of makeup.Rose's face, no matter how picky a person is, it is difficult to find flaws.Coupled with the gold exchange system, Rose suspected more than once that she might be the illegitimate daughter of God.Otherwise, how could it be so unique.Of course, it is unknown if he may have saved the whole society in his previous life.But thinking of that scumbag of the system manager, she felt the karma of cutting corners when saving the earth.

Looking back, Rose is most satisfied with her figure. Compared with the tall and burly people in the West, Rose's height of about 1.7 meters, coupled with a small frame, is full of oriental beauty.You don't need a corset, but you can still hold a pretty waist. I don't know how many children of the earth are struggling to lose weight.

The upper class in Britain is only that big, plus some businessmen and nobles from the United States, Rose has gradually become familiar with it in recent years.Sir Gao Mo, Mrs. Lushang Lussel, and Bruce Ismay, etc., the future shipmates of the Titanic, tonight, at the reception, Rose saw them all one by one.

Oh, forgot to mention.And that Cal Hockley, the future steel tycoon.Following his gaze, Rose gently toasted him.

After taking a sip of champagne, Rose pursed her lips, "I'll go over there for a walk."

Ann Linxi reluctantly let go of Rose's arm, and said reluctantly, "Okay, I'll find you later."

It was rare to see such a docile Rose, and Ann Linxi was really reluctant to let go.He also understood in his heart.Today was thanks to the batch of arms, otherwise Rose would not have easily agreed to him to attend the reception as his female companion.

He really likes Rose, her background, bloodline, appearance, education, and so on.Rose can be said to be the most famous flower in the upper class of the whole of Britain and even the United States.Ever since she entered the social world, there have been countless people who have fallen in love with her.

Even that American rich man, Sien Estor, secretly had a crush on Rose.If it weren't for Rose's lack of interest in being a stepmother, where would it be the turn of the current wife.

Ann Lindsey is an out-and-out dude, and she was a vegetarian before meeting Rose.Even now that I met Rose, I have restrained myself a little, but the essence has not changed.The filth and chaos of the upper class, not to mention Rose in the original book, can't bear it, even living in a modern life where there are so many strange things, ordinary people can't accept it.

Let's say that the little wife McPhee next to the American rich man Sien Ashton was once the lover of the eldest son of the American rich man.In the end, the beauty gave up her young and strong son, but Lao Tzu really fell through the eyes of many people.

"Rose, you look beautiful today." Carl's words once again interrupted the dark rubbing in Rose's heart.

"It's Carl. You are also very handsome and charming today." Rose said with a smile after swallowing a mouthful of cantaloupe.For a place like a reception, that is, the fruit is pretty good.For the other snacks, Rose didn't move.There will be a party later.Will this be full, wait until the table, and stare longingly?

'Compared with that Linxi guy, which one is more charming', Carl asked quietly in his mind.

Carl arrived early today, so when Rose walked into the banquet hall on Lindsay's arm, Carl was really jealous.Talented man and beautiful woman, a match made in heaven.One night, Carl's heart was full of sourness when all the people attending the reception praised Rose and Linxi.This will see Rose walk away alone, how could she think of anything else, walking straight towards her with her feet uncontrollable.

"I heard that he will be graduating from college soon, right?" At this time, Carl realized that he and Rose actually had nothing to talk about. Carl himself had no experience in jewelry, and he had no experience in stocks. Regarding finance and economics, I don't know if Rose understands or not, and is willing to listen.

"That's right. Time flies. In a blink of an eye, I'm leaving university." Fortunately, I don't have to be afraid of losing my job after graduation.Women with status rarely come out to work these days, and the Bookett family doesn't need Rose to work.

"I heard before that Rose majored in design. Have you thought about creating your own brand after graduation?" Mrs. Lu Shanglussel interjected from behind Rose.

Rose tilted her head and nodded, smiling very elegantly. "How can Rose have the ability of Madam. Madam's talent is obvious to all. I heard that Her Majesty likes the clothes you designed very much."

"Hehe, Rose's little mouth is as sweet as honey. However, I'm not as good as you said. Do you think so? Mr. Hockley." Mrs. Lushang Russell heard Rose's compliment , laughed softly.Looking at Carl lightly, he asked.

"Where, Madam is too modest. My point of view is the same as Rose's." Carl is not a fool. If he dares to show a little emotion in front of Rose, there should be no future between him and Rose. up.

This woman is like a female cat in heat, she will jump up when she sees the fishy smell.Look at this move, the intention is for Peigong.Rose rolled her eyes and weighed the gains and losses. Compared with socializing with Lin Xi, it's better to stay here and watch the show.

It's not every day that the bold and unrestrained British woman molests a decent woman and man. If you miss this one, you don't know when and where the next one will be.But a novel is a novel, and the heroine in the novel is loved by everyone, and all men must love her to the death.

But in reality, the men in those novels are also loved.Regardless of whether it is the person who loves him, or his money, status.There is absolutely no shortage of that woman. As a woman who started out designing pajamas, she is not too thin-skinned.

Fat and thin pork belly like Karl looks sweet and juicy at first glance.It was the normal state of British upper class society at this time that men had mistresses and women had lovers.Although I don't know what the wandering painter Jack looks like, at least I can be sure that Carl looks good.

While perfunctorily chatting with the two of them, Rose secretly imagined in her heart how Carl would be forced to bow by such a plump and passionate wife.Thinking about it, I couldn't help laughing.

"Rose, you also think this topic is funny, don't you?" Carl, stunned by Rose's smile, murmured.

"Hehe, it's okay. Madam thinks so." Who knows what topic you just talked about.

"I don't think this is a funny topic." Mrs. Lushang Russell said a little unhappy.

"By the way, I heard that the stock of Baixing Company is very hot now, you can't buy it anymore?" Who knows what you just said, let's change the topic and start from the beginning.

"Rose also wants the stock of White Star Company?" Carl immediately calculated how much White Star stock he had in his hand. If Rose wanted it too, he wouldn't mind giving her some.No, it can't be given away, and if it is given away, Rose will not take it.However, he can still buy it for her at a low price.

"Rose, the topic of stocks is for men. We women don't need to care about it."

"Hehe, maybe. However, I heard that the Titanic is going to test the waters in September, have you heard?"

"Not yet. Rose heard about it from Mr. Andrew." Mrs. Lushang Russell was also full of curiosity and anticipation about the cruise ship.

"No, I heard it from Mr. Imes. Because of Uncle Andrew. Our whole family is going to participate in the maiden voyage of the Titanic."

......

A burst of melodious piano sounded, indicating that the dinner party in the banquet hall had officially begun.

"Rose, so you are here. The dinner party is about to start. Let's go there." Linxi passed through the crowd just in time to see Rose who was chatting with Mrs. Lushang Russell and Karl, and said with brisk footsteps and a slightly higher voice.

"Well, good." After nodding to the other two, Rose left first with Lin Xi on her arm.Karl glanced at the two left by Lin Xie with a sense of loss, bent slightly, and said to Madam Lu Shanglussel: "Do you have the honor to have dinner with Madam?"

"Of course, it's a great honor." For Mrs. Lu Shanglussel, they hooked up all night, and it's really normal to have such progress.
