Chapter 342 Two Women Horse Racing
This time, Zhao Chuanxin was particularly low-key even when buying zero yuan.

In the past, I have taken enough money, but this time the amount I took is very inconspicuous.

However, it was enough to make John Peterman feel bad.

John Peterman followed, and found nothing wrong,

Just chattering endlessly: "You are not welcome here."

"Please leave."

"I'm going to call the sheriff."

Zhao Chuanxin listened to his thoughts, but didn't dare to do anything,

So I insisted on walking around, just as Benjamin Goldberg and Marcus Nkrumah also finished picking out clothes.

He took out a roll of money: "I have plenty of money."

As he spoke, he slammed the money onto John Peterman's face in an astonishing manner, and then fell to the ground.

John Peterman was pissed off.

"Too deceiving."

But after all, he is a businessman, and he clearly distinguishes personal emotions from buying and selling.

To make money, or to make money.

He picked up the scattered money and found that it was all small change notes.

After counting, he hurriedly chased out of the store: "Hey, it's five cents short..."

However, Zhao Chuanxin had disappeared.

Outside the town, Benjamin Goldberg saw Zhao Chuanxin conjuring a pile of clothes, shoes and other things out of thin air.

"Master, these things seem to be from J.C. Penney's."

"Yeah, look, there are dolls, let's play with them."

Benjamin Goldberg shook his head: "Master, I'm not interested."

For the splendor of his fantasy world, the reality of doll toys is nothing.

Marcus Nkrumah snatched the doll or something: "I'm interested."

"..."

Zhao Chuanxin looked at the clothes he was holding in his arms, and it seemed that they didn't fit very well.

He snatched it away, gestured at the big black man, and said angrily, "Are you stupid? Can you wear this dress?"

Marcus Nkrumah shook his head: "The clerk asked me to buy it."

"Fake, it really is a profiteer who tricked you into buying clothes that don't fit, so don't blame me for buying them for zero yuan."

Zhao Chuanxin hates people who hang around, chase lunatics, and fool fools the most.

And Benjamin Goldberg thought to himself that Master stole it.

……

New York City, Wall Street.

Jesse Livermore said to Thomas W. Lawson in displeasure: "Thomas, what do you mean by that issue you wrote touting Consolidated Copper?"

Thomas W. Lawson was nonchalant: "It's just a warm-up, my man, it's no big deal."

Jesse Livermore said angrily: "We have to keep a low profile, understand? If you manipulate the stock market with such a high profile, you will attract investigation. Originally, John Morgan's group of old guys were staring at us."

In fact, Thomas W. Lawson is a standard double standard dog.

On the one hand, he wrote books against monopoly and stock market fraud, but when the price of diamonds fell in 1901, he himself wrote an article touting diamonds and driving up the price, just because he had an investment in this area.

Moreover, he is also very bold.

During the San Francisco earthquake last year, when Zhao Chuanxin and Jesse Livermore made a fortune on Wall Street, Thomas W. Lawson also contributed to the flames.

This guy is a typical sanctimonious hypocrite on Wall Street.

He said: "Don't worry, my article is only published in a small journal and will not attract widespread attention. God said that if you want to destroy it, you must first make it crazy. I made it for our cause. Sacrifice, do you think I am willing to sacrifice my reputation?"

Jesse Livermore frowned deeply, sighed and persuaded: "Thomas, you have to know that Ethan is not an easy-talking person. We are going to mess up his affairs, and you and I will face him anger."

"I have my measure."

……

Along the Hudson River.

Edith Roosevelt and Wilhelmina rode ahead.

Behind him hung Wilhelmina's guards.

To deceive others, they disguised themselves as cowboys.

It's just a little nondescript, it looks like a villain.

Since Wilhelmina wanted to see New York, Edith Roosevelt brought her here.

Not to cause a riot, but also to satisfy her curiosity.

Wilhelmina asked curiously: "Madam, do you usually travel without any entourage?"

"Yes, I like freedom, I've traveled all over the world, I've made many friends, but I've never had an escort."

As he spoke, Edith Roosevelt looked back at those "villains".

Wilhelmina blushed.

She is just the opposite. The cards of the Dutch royal family cannot be reversed, and the guards will follow wherever they go.

"It's a nice view, ma'am, and you can see New York City."

"It's like this." Edith Roosevelt pointed to the Hudson River: "I often come here to ride horses. There is a beautiful place in North Tarrytown nearby. There is a manor there. I have some friendship with the former owner of the manor. It's a pity that the manor is sold. However, there is another place, and the scenery is too beautiful."

In fact, Wilhelmina would rather go to New York City on the lower Hudson River.

But she has been keenly aware that the wife of the big American boss seems to look down on her.

She is a very strong person in her heart and will never allow this to happen.

So he said, "Then, madam, let us go and explore where you say."

Edith Roosevelt chuckled: "It's just a lake, far from being an adventure, at most there are gray wolves haunting it."

She mentioned Gray Wolf on purpose, just to see the fear on Wilhelmina's face.

Sure enough, a trace of fear flashed in Wilhelmina's eyes.

The Dutch royal family also hunted, but usually small red deer, rabbits and waterfowl.

She hadn't even seen a gray wolf.

However, Wilhelmina did not back down, she gritted her neat white teeth: "Okay, let's go there."

She didn't want to lose her royal reputation.

Edith Roosevelt was the kind of woman who, once she had a prejudice against someone, couldn't get rid of it no matter what.

In fact, she is a willful and stubborn woman, and even when she gets older, she can't change her temper.

The two took their guards, and after trekking, they arrived at Putnam Lake the next day.

Wilhelmina usually trains riding skills, relaxes to a certain extent, and rests when she is tired.

This was the first time that I had traveled a long distance with an elderly woman, and it was miserable.

But seeing that Edith Roosevelt was still in high spirits, she had only a little bit of strength in her life, and she persisted tenaciously.

Edith Roosevelt saw it and disdain in her heart: a stupid woman can be a king just like this?It's so easy to be controlled by others!
Wilhelmina had a tenacity in what she did, and Edith Roosevelt was a veteran.

The age and experience of the two are different, and the starting point of looking at things is also different.

It's just that after seeing the clear lake water and groups of swimming fish, both of them put aside their unhappiness for the time being.

Wilhelmina dismounted, stood by the lake, closed her eyes, and let the cool wind passing over the lake blow on her beautiful, white and delicate face like cream.

Gentle, refreshing, like touching.

She suddenly had a strange feeling.

In the past, her life was good, but in recent years, it has been a little rough.

This time after a long journey to the lake, I saw the beautiful scenery, and suddenly felt that the exhaustion ahead was worth it.

Perhaps this is the case in living in the world. Only by persisting and being tenacious can we keep the fog open and see the moon.

The entourage spread exquisite and gorgeous cloth on the ground, took out the prepared ingredients, and let the two of them have a picnic here.

Even if it's a picnic, Wilhelmina's food has to be fine.

Even if she is unwilling to be extravagant, the followers will not agree.

Smoked salmon, roast beef, apple pie, cheese, assorted fruits...

From top to bottom, the old beauty is actually full of rough style.

Seeing the food only made Edith Roosevelt think that Wilhelmina was playing tricks.

But she didn't keep teasing Wilhelmina with words.

This kind of thing pays attention to the end.

After the meal, the horses were full and had enough rest.

Edith Roosevelt stood up and said, "Your Majesty, one of my greatest pleasures is to come to the pasture at Putnam Lake without riding a horse. Will your guards allow you to ride?"

Since Wilhelmina came, she calmed down and got up: "Come on, let me see Madam's riding skills!"

The two women got on the horses, the guards became nervous, quickly cleaned up the mess, and then rode to keep up.

It's just that they didn't expect their speed to be extremely fast, and they had already run a long way in the blink of an eye.

Edith Roosevelt's desire for control and competitiveness was extremely strong, and he made a cheerful "clack-cluck" sound, urging the horses to run wildly.

In the back, Wilhelmina's riding skills are not bad, and the horse under her lap seems to be better than Edith Roosevelt's. In a few breaths, the horse's head has passed the opponent.

In terms of speech, she was always suppressed.

At this time, finally regained a victory.

Edith Roosevelt had two great hobbies in his life-riding and traveling.

How much does she love horseback riding?

Many years ago, she fell off a horse, and the fall was not light, and she was bedridden for a long time.

Many years later, she was already gray-haired, but right here, when the horse was galloping, she fell off the horse again, broke her leg, and was almost paralyzed on the bed.

Seeing that Wilhelmina passed her, she was quite upset, so she lowered her body to reduce the resistance of the wind, raised her hips slightly, and gradually matched the rhythm of the horse's back rising and falling.

Then she caught up again.

The two chased after each other, and the straight horse was panting and its hooves were sore.

The running sun slanted westward.

From the lake, along the pasture, ran to the edge of the forest.

It's a great place for horse racing.

At this time, Edith Roosevelt was in front, and finally the horse couldn't run anymore, and she didn't even want to walk, so she stopped.

Wilhelmina panted like a horse.

Riding a horse is also physical work.

She bit her lip and gave up unwillingly: "Madam, you have won."

Edith Roosevelt showed a victorious smile: Xiao Mian, I will let you know today that ginger is always hot!
In fact, she aimed at Wilhelmina for the most inhumane reason—youth and beauty.

She used to be a peerless beauty, but time is not forgiving.

At this time, Wilhelmina was like a blooming flower, bright and moving.

She was so beautiful, matching her identity, that all men couldn't look directly at her.

Since she couldn't hold back her beauty, she had no choice but to find her place in wisdom and courage.

No matter what class they are in, it seems that women all over the world have this kind of thinking more or less.

are proud,
Seeing Wilhelmina's expression change, she shouted, "Ma'am, be careful, there are gray wolves..."
