Chapter 1104: Jockey Club Vanity Fair
Chapter 1104 Jockey Club = Vanity Fair
Han Li had no intention of maintaining a long-term relationship with Michelle from the beginning. If they have a chance to meet in the future, they can exchange techniques if they are happy, and pretend not to know each other if they are not happy.
Michelle probably has the same idea, although everyone is just playing around, there is no need to be too serious.
But this kind of thing used to be mentioned by Han Li after he "did that"... turned around and left, but he didn't expect that this situation would happen to him today.
Although Michelle climbed up and down, ate and drank very attentively yesterday, she still made Han Li feel very uncomfortable when she dared to do such a thing.
But this made Han Li determined in his heart that if the two of them had a chance to communicate next time, he would make her feel weak and numb, and she could only watch him put on her clothes and turn around and leave.
Han Li was washing slowly and eating breakfast slowly.
Michelle looked like she was going to war. She washed up in a hurry, put on her makeup and dressed carefully, and then rushed to the entrance of the Jockey Club with a hurried march.
At this time, there were not many people at the entrance of the Jockey Club. Michelle came so early to occupy a more conspicuous position, so that those sponsors and directors could see her at first sight.
However, many people had similar ideas to Michelle today. Among these people, there were not only reporters and businessmen from all over the world, but also many "ladies" who thought they were very gorgeous.
The businessmen tried their best to let everyone know about their products. Because stalls were not allowed nearby today, some of them asked to print words on their clothes, some held small signs, and some gave exquisite small cards.
Reporters eat this bowl of rice, they will grab all the materials they think are valuable.
And those "ladies", in front of those reporters, they regarded this place as a Hollywood carpet scene, deliberately posing exaggerated postures and excessive movements to attract the attention of reporters.
In short, whether businessmen or those "ladies", they have already regarded the entrance of the Jockey Club as a big show to attract attention, show their identities, and promote products.
After breakfast, Han Li drank a cup of tea, holding a hat that he didn't want to wear at all. On the way, he bought a telescope and took a taxi to the entrance of the Jockey Club.
Because the opening ceremony was about to begin, no one wanted to miss the scene of the queen's entrance, so there were no people at the door now.
After a simple security check, Han Li walked in, took his ticket and sat in his seat, watching the chaotic scene around him, and looked back and forth with a telescope when he was free.
Not too long after, around nine o'clock, there were bursts of cheers near another entrance dedicated to the royal family and VIPs.
Han Li looked over with a telescope, all the royal family members, including the queen, were riding in an open carriage, driving from a distance under the protection of many guards and honor guards who drove and rode horses.
After signaling to the nobles and celebrities waiting at the door, the Queen's carriage drove into the venue of the Ascot Jockey Club. The guard of honor on horseback, wearing bright red tops and black pants, led the way.
As for the nobles and celebrities, not everyone is qualified to ride in a carriage with the Queen. Those who are qualified will quickly get on the carriage and follow the Queen's motorcade in front.
Those who are not qualified to join this team occupy the majority, and they will walk in groups towards the royal designated stands.
The Queen wore an unknown sky blue dress today, and most of the other noble women and celebrities wore a skirt similar to the Hobskirt. The skirt length is also ankle-length, but the hem is not so tight, and it is embellished with tassels and other decorations.
Not to mention the Queen who is already in her fifties, but these celebrities are real celebrities. No matter their clothes, jewelry, dress, or temperament, they are not comparable to those who grab the camera at the door early in the morning.
The Queen has something in common with the noble ladies and celebrities. Each of them wears a very exaggerated hat, with various colors and patterns.
Not to mention the men, young and old, all wear suits, vests, leather shoes, and hats. The older ones also hold a civilized stick. The only difference between them is the color and stripes of their clothes.
Amid the cheers of the audience, the Queen's motorcade drove around the venue and finally stopped at the stand reserved for the royal family.
There were many English nobles, wealthy businessmen, and some guests invited by the royal family around the stand. Others in the distance didn't know how they were polite.
But then the horse race officially started. The riders on the field bent over and stuck out their butts to drive the horses to run in the way with the least wind resistance, and the audience off the field cheered for the horses they bet on.
During the period, some horses fell because of speed or improper control by the riders. The medical staff on the scene would carry the riders away on stretchers as quickly as possible.
As for the horses, they will be moved to the side of the track by the staff so that they will not affect the subsequent races. A tent will be set up here for the veterinarian to diagnose and treat the horses.
Every time this happens, someone in the audience will curse loudly. Needless to say, this is also the audience who bet on this horse.
Some people will feel sorry for the horse. In the past, when this happened, the horse that fell would basically be eliminated from the race permanently.
Horses with good breed, good pedigree, good luck and good results will generally be kept by their owners for breeding, and the treatment they should enjoy will not be reduced too much.
But other racehorses can only depend on the mood of their owners. However, in general, as long as the injuries of the racehorses are not so serious that they cannot be saved, they will not be killed by their owners.
If the racehorses cannot stand up, even if they have good pedigree and have achieved good results, their owners will generally send them away from this world.
There are also people at the scene who feel sorry for the riders, because no matter what the reason is, the riders are the most responsible for the fall of the racehorses during the race.
Once this happens, the rider will almost have to say goodbye to this profession. At least in England, it will be difficult for him to find a sponsor willing to hire him.
However, this situation will basically not affect the carnival of the people at the scene, and they will soon cheer for another racehorse.
During the mid-course break, there are food trucks selling beer and hamburgers inside the Jockey Club, which serve the general audience.
And if you are hungry and thirsty, you can only buy it here, because the security check at the entrance will not allow anyone to bring in food and drinks.
For those who are rich, they can choose to go to the restaurants and bars next door for meals, where there are more complete and high-end food and drinks.
Of course, the audience can buy these things as soon as they enter the venue, and you can cheer for the horses while drinking.
However, at the beginning, because the Queen and the royal family were present, few people would do this.
But in the afternoon, after the Queen and the royal family left, the Jockey Club basically let go.
Many people would hold up their glasses and eat various foods, some cheering, some chatting, and some continuing to cheer for the horses. The Jockey Club was like a huge party.
Some people would also cheer for the horses and riders near the edge of the fence of the track, but if they wanted to do this, the tourists were not allowed to carry anything in their hands, otherwise the security guards around would not let you get close.
Han Li did not go to the private bars and restaurants inside to eat, but bought a few bottles of beer on the spot and followed others to eat and drink in the stands.
In the afternoon, when others were still drinking and cheering, Han Li didn't want to squeeze out with so many people when the show was over.
Besides, now that even the socialites had left, he could only watch the horse racing and listen to these people shouting and bragging, so Han Li left the racecourse halfway.
After leaving, Han Li went straight back to the hotel, because he was busy playing games with Catwoman yesterday and didn't sort out the information at all.
The old man and his wife did that sooner or later, so Han Li finished the paper he had to submit next time as soon as possible, so he didn't have to keep thinking about it when he played in the future.
When Han Li was concentrating on sorting out the information in the hotel, the queen and the royal family were already in chaos.
Because it was almost noon, the queen invited a group of nobles, tycoons, and politicians to have lunch in her castle at the racecourse.
Because it was summer and the weather was very good, the dining location was placed by the lake next to the castle.
The English are famous for being conservative. Even when the royal family entertains guests, they often serve the same dishes. Although the dishes are beautifully presented, the taste is just like that of high-end restaurants outside. The only difference may be that the ingredients used here are more expensive.
Even though the taste of the food is not outstanding, the old foxes and young foxes at the scene still keep praising and complimenting.
Everything was fine, but no one expected that when they were halfway through the meal, four crows fell from the sky and landed directly on the long dining table.
Although this situation is very rare, crows are sacred birds and patron saints in England.
Charles II moved the Royal Observatory because of crows. The old foxes and young foxes present did not dare to say anything unpleasant.
However, they are all experienced people on the battlefield. Seeing this situation, a lot of free good words were immediately said.
"The divine bird must have come to congratulate Her Majesty the Queen in advance."
"The patron saint has landed in front of Her Majesty the Queen. This is a good omen. It means that Her Majesty the Queen and the British Empire will get better and better in the future."
"God bless Her Majesty the Queen, God bless the British Empire."
Amid the compliments, the Queen smiled, and the servants around her breathed a sigh of relief.
But at this moment, the crows hopped and stopped in front of the Queen, tilted their heads and stared at the Queen for a while, and then jumped directly onto her shoulders.
