Super-rich: Spending money is just a job!
Chapter 205 Returning South for Spring Festival (Chapter 28)
Xiaomeng had never ridden a horse; she had only ridden a cow.
Water buffaloes are gentle animals, and children tending them can freely climb onto their backs. When walking, their steps are slow and steady.
So, Xiaomeng can be considered to have some experience dealing with animal mounts.
The most important thing when riding is not to make the horse or ox feel that your actions are sudden.
First, feed it some food so it gets used to the passenger's scent. Once the horse has its attention on the rider, climb onto its back using the stirrups.
The key is to mount the horse cleanly and decisively, without hesitation.
Once on horseback, things became much easier. A groom held the reins, and Xiaomeng only needed to adjust her center of gravity to match the horse's pace.
Xiaomeng easily mounted the horse. The groom and Xiao Tang both said she was exceptionally talented, learning quickly. After walking a couple of laps, she was able to hold the reins herself and ride slowly. Of course, Xiao Tang rode alongside her to protect her.
Just as I was getting into the swing of things, someone came from the edge of the riding arena.
"Hey, where did you come from? What are you doing riding horses at my family's horse farm?" a girl asked in an annoyed tone.
Xiao Tang and Xiao Meng looked in the direction of the sound. Three horses appeared at the entrance of the horse farm, each carrying a young woman.
The youngest-looking woman was the one who spoke, and her horse tack was all pink. Her expression was haughty, and her tone was matter-of-fact; she was clearly spoiled by her family.
Xiaomeng rarely sees people with such a spoiled princess persona in real life. Her eyes widened, and for a moment she couldn't think of how to react.
"Idiot." The first woman glanced disdainfully at the girl in pink, tightened the reins, and led her entourage to the side.
Her entire equestrian tack was white. In fact, she was dressed entirely in white; not only was her horse white, but the saddle, reins, and leather straps, as well as her suit, breeches, helmet, and boots, were all white.
Judging from this, the equipment these girls are wearing must be custom-made. Otherwise, which factory would produce white and pink saddles? Would they even sell?
This woman's comment, "idiot," infuriated the pink-clad girl, making her face turn red and causing her to whip her horsewhip several times in the air.
Xiaomeng was a little surprised. This person was quite well-mannered; he hadn't whipped the horse she was riding. He probably knew that if he lost his temper and whipped the horse, he would be thrown off. Quite clever.
"Fourth sister, you mustn't be rude. These two must be important guests of our family." A gentle-voiced girl, who looked extremely virtuous, interjected, seemingly reprimanding her younger sister.
The girl's horse harness was of a conventional style, unlike the two girls in front of her who were more flamboyant.
"Our guests? Our guests are all rich and powerful. How could someone come riding a horse in ordinary sneakers without even bringing their own saddle?" Pink Girl had sharp eyes and scanned Xiao Meng from head to toe.
"Fourth sister, say less." The virtuous young lady seemed genuinely embarrassed by her younger sister's rudeness.
Before Xiao Tang and Xiao Meng could even speak, it was as if they had just watched a short drama; these beautiful actresses were quite interesting.
The virtuous young woman quickly greeted them, "Hello, guests. I am Ming Huimei. May I ask your name?"
At this moment, Xiao Tang's coachman arrived. Seeing that Xiao Meng and the others did not recognize him, he took the initiative to introduce them, "This is our boss's young lady, this is the third young lady of the Ming family, Miss Hui Mei, and that is the fourth young lady, Miss Hui Di."
"Ladies, these two guests are Young Master Tang and Miss Lin. They are both guests of the Second Madam."
Xiaomeng found the introduction strange, as if she had stumbled into the set of some extravagant film. And why did they have so many children? There was a third young lady, a fourth young lady, and even a second wife. Did this family live like feudal landlords with multiple wives and concubines?
Xiao Tang understood what was going on. The girl's family was now in the second generation in power, with three brothers and three girls from three different families. The girls were ranked according to their generation within the family.
When in social situations, Xiao Tang immediately changes her demeanor, greeting people with an air of elegance and politeness.
"So it's the third and fourth young ladies of the Ming family. Then the one from earlier must be the eldest young lady. Hello, excuse me, my brother was talking to your second wife. We were just riding around. If you don't welcome us, we'll take our leave."
The third young lady quickly clarified, "No, no, how could we disturb you? We are guests, let's all have fun together."
Minghui Mei is indeed a gentle and virtuous woman with high emotional intelligence. She knows how to flatter people, so the atmosphere of everyone's communication is quite good.
She quickly found out who had invited Xiaomeng and the others, and where they were staying. She was also worried that Xiaomeng's inappropriate equipment might hurt her.
"Really? I don't need to compete, I just ride around for fun. Okay, so a suitable saddle makes riding more comfortable, right? Where can I buy one? Are there any sporting goods stores selling saddles and riding boots near your horse farm?" Xiaomeng's answer was very frank.
The fourth young lady scoffed, "Our horse tack is all custom-made. Who would buy it from a store? Aren't we all equipped with our own tack? You say you're not poor, but you don't even have custom-made horse tack."
Minghui frowned. "Is this how you always talk? How did your aunt raise her child? It's so shameful." After criticizing her sister, Minghui said to Xiaomeng, "Actually, we have a long-term cooperative shop. I can have someone immediately notify the staff at the saddlery shop to deliver the goods to your door."
"That's great! Please call them over right away." Xiaomeng thought it was perfect when she heard that delivery was available.
Not long after, a small van pulled up to the entrance of the horse farm. Xiaomeng saw the familiar orange logo on the van and thought, "Why does this leather goods store sell saddles?"
"Their family originally made equestrian equipment; they only started making leather bags after they transitioned to that business," Xiao Tang whispered to her.
The shop assistant eagerly opened the display case and brought out several saddles for Xiaomeng to choose from. Xiaomeng had no idea which ones to pick, so Xiao Tang helped her choose. Riding boots were easier to choose; as long as they fit, they were fine.
There were also gloves, riding breeches, a helmet, and a jacket. Since Xiaomeng was already there, she simply bought a set.
When the final bill came, the saddle cost 800,000, the helmet over 50,000, the boots over 20,000, the gloves over 10,000, and the clothes tens of thousands, for a total bill of over 900,000.
After swiping her card, Xiaomeng didn't even glance at the bill before quickly changing her gear and getting back on the horse.
I must say, the new saddle feels pretty good to sit in.
The young man at the saddlery shop was quite attentive. He watched Xiaomeng ride for a while by the paddock and even helped adjust the horse's leash to make it more comfortable.
Xiaomeng felt that it was indeed better after the adjustment, so she placed another order with the saddle shop assistant, asking him to deliver a miniature children's saddle to her room later.
Xiaomeng changed into more comfortable gear and had the horse walk, trot, and canter.
"Good, good, good! You all have such great athletic talent; you learned to run so quickly!" Xiao Tang praised sincerely.
The horseman also boasted that he wouldn't dare let an ordinary beginner abandon him, fearing that the novice might be unfamiliar with the ropes and get into danger.
Xiaomeng didn't seem like a beginner at all; she had a great relationship with the horse and started running without even realizing it.
Not far away, Minghuidi was also discussing the guests with Minghuimei. "They are indeed very rich. They bought hundreds of thousands of pounds of horse tack just like that. Why are they pretending to be poor? What are they here for?"
Are they from mainland China? Are mainlanders this rich too?
"Huimei, do you know the person who was talking to your second aunt?"
“There are many rich people in the mainland, we just don’t know them. I don’t know that person either, but I know that someone who can talk to Mommy like that is no ordinary person. Be smart. Can’t you see that your older sister doesn’t even respect you?”
“My eldest sister is a prodigy; who does she think she is?” Minghuidi was very self-aware.
"Let's go and ask them what it is."
So the adults saw a scene of harmonious interaction between the young people on both sides of the horse farm.
