The road from Africa to Europe

Chapter 293 Eighteen Mothers

She knew before that Shiba Niang would definitely arrive, but she still felt hot when she saw it like this.

Obviously Shiba Niang is also educated by noble girls, why is she dressed like this nouveau riche?

It's not just her who thinks this way, the other noble ladies also think the same way, some of them don't want to be with her.

But the noble girls' education they received can be tormented behind their backs, but even if they don't like people of the same class, they must be kind.

It must be acceptable on the public face, instead of directly tearing the faces of both parties, forcing out smiles and saying hello to the newcomers one after another.

"Eighteen Niang, I'll tell you when you'll be here, but I can't say hello to you." Twelve Niang smiled genuinely.

"Sister Twelve, today is your gift of consecration, I must come, here, this is my gift to you." He said and presented a golden hairpin.

Twelve Niangs looked at the shining golden hairpin, some didn't know what to say, others thought the golden hairpin was a bit too vulgar, Twelve Niang breathed in slightly and said, "Thank you."

She couldn't help but glanced at Ling Xiao, and then smiled and asked her personal servant girl to accept the gold hairpin. To put it bluntly, this gold hairpin is not light, and it can definitely be replaced with many things in case something happens.

If someone else gave this kind of clumsy golden hairpin at the Jiji ceremony, other people would have ridiculed it long ago, but because it was Shibaniang, all the other onlookers ignored it, showing standardized and polite smiles.

This made Ling Xiao quickly discover that Shiba Niang has a lot of background, otherwise the group of noble ladies should have been sarcastic and sarcastic. Even so, they are not very willing to get more familiar with Shiba Niang The appearance, except for Twelve Niangs.

Ling Xiao could feel that Shier Niang's smile was a bit real, which made her feel that Shi Er Niang still had a bit of sincerity, just like she is now. In addition, she found that Shi Er Niang looked at herself just now?This made Ling Xiao pay more attention to Shiba Niang.

The other aristocratic women's ability to conceal is not very strong, and they really can't agree with Shiba Niang's taste. They are all in groups of three or five, and they are not very willing to get in touch with Shiba Niang, but they don't dare to offend that one easily. You must know that Shibaniang's grandmother is Princess Danyang, who is quite respected by today's emperor.

The eldest princess is generally more open-minded, and she will not easily turn against others, but the eldest princess has a reverse scale that outsiders cannot touch, that is, the two children of her third son. Ba Niang's words will never be forgiven.

After everyone has suffered a few times, everyone feels that Shiba Niang's attire is very hot-eyed, looks like a nouveau riche, and usually pretends not to see it, so that an unlucky person will accompany Shiba Niang. Twelve Niangs will accompany her sometimes.

But this time Shiba Niang is the protagonist, it is impossible to accompany Shi Ba Niang, none of them are willing to accompany Shi Ba Niang, in their opinion, being with Shi Ba Niang is simply lowering their grade .

They soon found Shibaniang's cousin, who happened to let the countryman take Shibaniang with her. Anyway, none of them dared to have too much contact with Shibaniang, lest they would become like that.

They had inquired why the eldest princess was respected by the emperor, and only then did they know that it was because of the eldest princess that Jinshang secured the throne of the emperor, and even the son-in-law died for the emperor.

Today, I was more concerned about the old love, and the eldest princess has always restrained her children, and rarely finds things for the emperor, so the emperor respects the princess very much.

But I don't know what's going on, the sons and daughters of the eldest princess are all relatively mediocre, and the only one who is smarter is still in poor health and doesn't live long.

That was the third son of the Eldest Princess. He lost his biological father when he was born, and his body was extremely weak because of his poor life in the mother's womb.

Princess Danyang felt extremely guilty, so she gave most of her feelings to this child, and later loved the third son's children.

The eldest princess didn't bother to take care of the children born to other sons and daughters. Only the eighteen mothers and sisters were the third generation she loved most.

If outsiders don't know the reason of the matter, they can't understand this situation. In their view, Shiba Niang's dress is too different.

Not only does she dress like a nouveau riche, but she also likes shining gold, which makes many people say she is too vulgar.

Ordinarily, girls who are not as good as Ji don't need to wear so much gold jewelry, it's too much.

But I don't know why Eighteen Niang likes those gold jewelry and golden hair accessories.

There was even a gold necklace studded with gemstones around her neck.

It can be said that Shiba Niang will attract people's attention wherever she goes.

She was too dazzling, and she was all golden at a glance.

Gold is a very unique color, extremely eye-catching.

Represents the meanings of nobility, luxury, brilliance, light, shine and so on.

Many royal families like gold, which is made into royal supplies such as scepters and crowns.

Most people also like gold, even if they are said to smell like copper.

Wearing gold jewelry will show that the wearer is very rich and often become the focus of attention.

But Shiba Niang wore gold jewelry, because she was still young, and she couldn't suppress too much gold in her aura.

Only then does she look like a nouveau riche, making everyone look at her full of vulgarity.

People often have a deep impression on the first side, and the gold is too eye-catching, and there is no other impression at all.

Ling Xiao found out that this Eighteenth Niang likes to wear clothes with very strong colors. She should like to eat, and she is round.

This makes her look like a nouveau riche herself. It can be seen that her eyes are very clear, and she is definitely cuter than others.

But other preconceived people naturally didn't see the advantages of Shibaniang, they really didn't like this person who seemed very flamboyant.

Because of the eldest princess's preference, the emperor paid more attention to the eighteen mothers, and every time the offering was made, the emperor would specially send good things.

This makes the little ladies in the capital who think they are superior to others don't like this little fat man who has been favored.

Most of them are better than her, more knowledgeable than her, better at dressing up than her, they look down on her a bit, and don't want to be with her at all.

But Shiba Niang is the granddaughter of the eldest princess, so they are all inferior to her. Shi Ba Niang has always been more favored by the emperor than most of the noble daughters, and all these make others angry.

After secretly comparing each of them, they looked down on Shibaniang even more. They thought they were smarter than Shibaniang, but they were not as good as her in every way. On the contrary, it's not as smart as Shiba Niang.

They didn't know that it was because the Eighteenth Niang was so naive that she was loved by the eldest princess, and the emperor only showed more favors because of the eldest princess's face.The little lady did not dare to offend Shiba Niang, and some people disliked her very much. A foolish person has no idea of ​​making friends at all.

But they also know that Shiba Niang has always been soft-hearted, and it is even possible that Shiba Niang was specially called by her. Shi Er Niang smiled and glanced at Ling Xiao who was standing alone, maybe she would like Shiba Niang very much. After all, her ideas have always been unique.

And Shiba Niang saw the fan clearly after handing out the gold hairpin, her eyes lit up, wow!This round fan!She said very happily: "This fan is really beautiful."

Before she came in, she had other thoughts, but after seeing the fan, she immediately forgot her original thoughts, and walked over to get it, wanting to see the fan clearly.

At this moment, Shi Er Niang smiled and shook the fan a few times, and then said with a little excitement: "Shi Ba Niang, do you think this round fan looks good? It is embroidered with kittens."

Shiba Niang blinked repeatedly, her mouth opened slightly, this fan is really beautiful, the kitten is lifelike, as if it is about to jump off the fan.

As she spoke, she pointed at Ling Xiao with her fan, and said with a smile, "This is a Jiji gift from my cousin. This fan is my favorite Jiji gift."

Only then did Shiba Niang notice Ling Xiao, and she immediately remembered that she was looking for someone, but she was here, so she said, "Hello, cousin."

Ling Xiao felt a little helpless after hearing this, with black lines on his face, is she her cousin?Does she have any special relationship with this eighteen girl?

no!She changed her mind, the Tao family had countless marriages during the marriage process, who knows what relatives are there?

If it really comes up, maybe it really has something to do with it, so it is also possible to call her cousin.

But it still feels a little too familiar. You must know that she doesn't know anything about Shiba Niang's situation.

Twelve Niangs felt a little helpless when she heard that, Shiba Niang was impulsive and couldn't reason.

She said softly: "Cousin, this is Shiba Niang, now 12 years old."

12 years old?This is an imaginary age, and two years have to be subtracted.

The ancients matured early, and everyone was a young adult.

"Speaking of which, it can be regarded as having some relationship with the Hou Mansion, so you can call her cousin."

"Eighteen Niang, this is my cousin of the Tao family. She was born in the Tao family in Heyang."

Even though Heyang Dow has become a thing of the past, it has only been finished in the past few years.

Shiba Niang looked at Ling Xiao after hearing this, her eyes were bright, she was a bit straightforward.

But it doesn't mean that she doesn't feel it. She can feel that those smiling ladies are mostly perfunctory.

As for the person in front of her who is very unique at first glance, Eighteen Niang can see that her attitude towards everyone is the same.

Neither wanting to come forward to flatter, nor wanting to step on the attitude, this is the best attitude for Shibaniang.

Because everyone has received the same treatment, at least this person will not scold her in his heart, but wants to flatter her with a smile. This kind of person is the most annoying.

Eighteen Niang stepped forward, grabbed Ling Xiao's hand, and said with a smile: "Sister Tao, this is the first time we have met, please take care of me in the future."

Ling Xiao looked at her and smiled slightly. Although part of her face was covered, the smile was still very beautiful, and Shiba Niang was taken aback after seeing it.

Ling Xiao said softly: "Hello, Shiba Niang, you must come to my house as a guest if you have the opportunity in the future." "Yeah, I will definitely go." Shiba Niang nodded directly.

And at this moment, because it was almost time for the Jiji ceremony, the maids invited the guests out one after another. Ling Xiao turned to Twelve Niangs and said, "You are going to hold the Jiji ceremony soon, so you should change your clothes first."

The others went out one after another, and the maid beside Shier Niang also breathed a sigh of relief.Twelve Niang nodded, she was still so understanding, so she didn't say anything.

She planned to wait until the ceremony was completed, and then ask Ling Xiao where he bought the fan?And Shiba Niang pulled Ling Xiao out together, Ling Xiao felt a little helpless.

Ling Xiao had some thoughts about Shiba Niang's current dressing and dressing, but he didn't intend to choose to interfere, as they didn't have such a deep friendship yet.

In addition, people in this world think differently, just like some people like to familiarize themselves with the cockscomb hairstyle.

The parties concerned have not violated any laws and regulations at all, and generally others have nothing to do with this kind of matter, which belongs to the rights of individuals.

But Ling Xiao still felt that Shiba Niang would be tired wearing jewelry?After thinking about it, she still didn't say anything.

After Shiba Niang came out with Ling Xiao, she smiled and said, "Sister Tao, where is your home? Is it far away?"

Ling Xiao found that Shiba Niang looked naive, but she actually had some ideas in her heart, otherwise she wouldn't have asked such a question.

In addition, she didn't continue to call her cousin, but called Tao's elder sister, which showed that she knew it well.

After taking a look at Shiba Niang, she found that the makeup was too thick, which was really not suitable for little girls.

What does Eighteen Niang look like?Ordinary people can't see clearly.

Too much white powder was applied too thickly, and the face was too white.

What is applied will fall off, this makeup is very eye-catching.

Most people don't notice at all that Shiba Niang's foundation is not bad.

This made Ling Xiao wonder if she did this on purpose, or if someone guided her to do it.

It's good to be aware of this point, let's look at other situations first, such as Shibaniang.

Although she didn't introduce her identity clearly, it can be seen that Shiba Niang has a certain social status.

Even if those proud little ladies don't like it very much, they still have to salute respectfully.

Twelve Niangs deliberately stood up to greet her, which all showed that this person's status was not low.Ling Xiao said: "Eighteen Niang will talk about it later."

Shiba Niang smiled and nodded, she just didn't know why she felt at ease walking beside Ling Xiao, Shi Shi Niang smiled slightly after watching them walk away.

After waiting for the Jiji ceremony to begin, Ling Xiao discovered that the people in the Hou Mansion attached great importance to the Jiji of Twelve Niangs, and specially invited a respected old lady from the clan to be the guest of honor.

The praisers and judges are also unmarried young ladies from high-ranking families. The Twelve Niangs have been performing very well throughout the whole process, and many people know that the young ladies of the Hou Mansion have grown up.

Ling Xiao didn't stand in front, but stood watching from the side. Shiba Niang was next to her, holding Ling Xiao's arm. Those who didn't know thought that the two had a good relationship, and Shiba Niang would secretly look at Ling Xiao .

Seeing that she wore a small half-section mask on her face, the exposed part looked like a hibiscus face, and her skin was very fair and delicate. Eighteen Niang suddenly found that this Tao girl looked familiar, and she was curious. He kept staring at Ling Xiao.

Ling Xiao felt the curious eyes of the other party, and didn't understand why the other party kept staring at him. After rubbing his face, he glanced at Shiba Niang and asked, "What's wrong? I have flowers on my face?"

Shibaniang said with some surprise: "You look a bit like a person, no matter how you look, you are very familiar. Where have I seen that person?" She frowned and thought.

"." Ling Xiao didn't speak. She never thought that Shiba Niang could see that this body looked like Shier Niang's, which showed that the little girl had strong observation skills.

Of course, Ling Xiao knew that the body of the original owner was very similar to that of Twelve Niangs. In fact, their mothers looked very similar, and other people often thought they were sisters.

She once wondered if the two were twins?After birth, they were separated for some reason, raised by two families, and their sisters became cousins.

Later, she quickly gave up this idea, because no matter whether it was the Hou's mansion or the Tao's family, it was impossible for her to support her own children.

Naturally, she will not give up her children easily, and insists on letting the twins have one family.They are girls and generally not adopted.

In addition, Mrs. Hou of the Hou Mansion and the original owner's mother had a mediocre relationship, and they were not that familiar, and they didn't even have much contact at all.

Otherwise, Ling Xiao has been in the capital for so long and has not been favored by Mrs. Hou, so he didn't want to meet him.

It can be seen that the relationship between the two parties is very cold, and dog-blood dramas generally do not happen, and they are cousins.

In the process of reaching Jiji, many people secretly looked at Ling Xiao, curious about his identity.

It's just that after they knew her face was disfigured, they didn't want to make friends.

In their eyes, it is basically impossible for a person with such a deformed face to marry high.

Since this is the case, there is no value in making friends.
