The road from Africa to Europe

Chapter 294
Ling Xiao was very deserted, only Shiba Niang followed.

Twelve Niang's relatives and friends came in groups and ignored them at all.

Ling Xiao didn't care about the cold reception at all, let alone clinging to other people.

Just standing there is not particularly eye-catching, after all, there is an eye-catching eighteen mother.

But people will also notice Ling Xiao after seeing Shiba Niang, that is the pride from the bottom of their bones.

Most of the people who can participate in this Jiji ceremony are high-ranking dignitaries, and naturally those with sharp eyes can see that it is extraordinary.

Maybe the clothes Ling Xiao wears are not very luxurious, but everyone will find peace after meeting her eyes.

Some people feel that Ling Xiao doesn't care about being looked at by others, nor does he care about others' cold reception, and he is psychologically stronger.

After reading it, some smart people plan to tell their own people that they don't need to make friends with Ling Xiao, but don't step on Ling Xiao, she is someone who knows what she wants.

There are also people who are not very smart and think, why are such poor people here?If it wasn't for the thought that this was not his home, Ling Xiao would have been kicked out.

Ling Xiao completely ignored those indifferent and bored gazes. She, who had traveled through time, was not afraid of any dignitaries in this world, not even the emperor, but would she be afraid of these female relatives?
She is watching the process of Twelve Niangs and Ji Li with great interest, and she is very happy to watch the genuine Ji Li at such a close distance. This is a long experience. As an outsider, she has done some secret filming work, which is quite precious. Historical data, maybe I have the opportunity to use it as a memory in the future.

During the whole process, I watched Twelve Niangs complete a series of actions: the first addition, the first bow, the second addition, the second bow, the third addition, and the third bow, and I also asked the principal guest to choose words for Twelve Niangs, which means Twelve Niangs have changed from an ignorant child to an adult who has truly entered the society, which means that the Twelve Niangs who have passed the age can be married.

This is the most important etiquette in a girl's life. Basically, capable people will hold wedding gifts for girls. Rich and powerful people will be more formal and spend more money, while poor people will only Can use the most concise way to celebrate girls grow up,
During this period, Twelve Niangs changed into three different clothes. The last one was a dress with long sleeves and a hairpin crown on her head.

Ling Xiao looked in amazement. You must know that Shi Erniang's clothes are very gorgeous, and the jewelry she wears is also very delicate and beautiful.

It's not a waste of time to come here, it's good to see such an authentic Jiji ceremony, especially this kind of Jiji ceremony held by a powerful family is rare.

This time it was possible to make the trip thanks to Shi Erniang's invitation, otherwise Ling Xiao felt that he would go to a commoner's house to see Jiji Li at most during this time.

After this close contact, Ling Xiao could see that Twelve Niangs were very interested in the original owner, and wanted to get close to Ling Xiao, a daughter of a down-and-out family.

But because she belongs to the noble daughter of a powerful family, she is naturally very busy. The ancient ladies didn't just eat and drink, and everything was fine.

A large part of noble ladies have to study every day, of course they don't have math, physics and chemistry homework, mainly liberal arts and other skills.

But there are many things they need to learn, such as learning piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and other skills such as female red housekeeper.

It takes a lot of time to master the required skills, and many skills need to be practiced every day.

For example, calligraphy, practicing musical instruments, etc. all require years of practice by Twelve Niangs to achieve small results.

It can be seen that Twelve Niang has undergone strict upbringing, and every step she took during the Jiji ceremony was very standard.

Even the degree of bending of the smiling lips is similar, which requires special training.

In the future, she will marry into the right family and become a well-rounded housewife.

Naturally, the people in the Hou Mansion would not let Shi Erniang and Ling Xiao get in touch with each other.

Because it was too cost-effective, the Hou Mansion and the Tao family did not have much contact.

Now the Tao family is basically doomed, and it will not recover completely in a few decades.

The person Twelve Niangs is optimistic about is not only bereft of father and mother and eldest daughter, but also face damage.

This situation completely cut off any possibility of marrying into a wealthy family, and no one even wants to be a concubine.

To support the sky is to marry a child from a poor family, just a child from a poor family, don't you know that you can rise up?
Even if she was able to come out, it might be more than 20 years later, when the people in the Hou Mansion might not be needed at all.

No matter how you look at it, Twelve Niangs don't need to be too kind to the daughter of the Tao family, because the future of the daughter of the Tao family is uncertain, but the daughter is just interested.

Mrs. Hou decided not to prohibit her daughter from contacting the daughter of the Tao family, as long as the twelve mothers are busy, she will not take care of the daughter of the Tao family.

Anyway, the daughter of the Tao family should thank her daughter, and it is a great kindness to the daughter of the Tao family to let the poor settle down to participate in her Jiji ceremony.

Ling Xiao didn't know what Madam Hou was thinking, but he could feel Madam Hou's indifference towards him, as if Ling Xiao would lead Twelve Niangs down.

She also saw that Shi Erniang didn't want to tell her the truth, so she didn't think about asking to find out the answer. On the one hand, she didn't have that opportunity, and on the other hand, she was very busy.

If the two confront each other over this issue, Ling Xiao will definitely be a white-eyed wolf in the eyes of others, and she doesn't bother to think about Twelve Niang's true thoughts now.

What is the reason that Shier Niang has been paying attention to herself, if she can know, she will know, if she can't know, it will not get in the way, anyway, she will not deal with Shi Er Niang for the time being.

It's normal for her to have her thoughts, and it's normal for everyone to want to live a good life, as long as it doesn't count on herself, but if Ling Xiao is involved, she will be rude, but she will fight back.

After the Jiji ceremony, everyone went to meet Mrs. Hou and the female family members of the Hou Mansion. Ling Xiao's appearance surprised those who didn't know her identity, because she had a very good bearing.

Wearing a mask, she attracted a lot of attention during the Jiji ceremony, and some people thought that the wound on her face should not be serious, otherwise how would she dare to come out as a guest.

Most of the women with damaged faces stayed at home and didn't dare to come out, but Ling Xiao kept his body upright, without any frustration or fear.

However, people who think they are self-cultivated will not directly ask Ling Xiao about the damage to his face, but just ask each other and whisper.

And among the guests, there are some noble ladies who don't know anything, they want to come on a secret blind date, and there are many girls who appear at the Jiji ceremony.

"Come on, whose little lady are you?" A not-so-young lady kept looking at Ling Xiao, feeling that she should be a beauty.

She has always wanted to find a stable wife for her precious grandson, and this time she fell in love with Twelve Niangs during the Jiji ceremony.

The Twelve Niangs after Jiji look beautiful and have a high status. She belongs to the noble daughter of the Marquis Mansion. Weiyuan Marquis Mansion is the Marquis Mansion with real power.

If her grandson married the noble daughter of the Hou Mansion, it would be considered unsatisfactory. She wanted to say something, but a warning appeared in her mind.

She suffered several blows because of her grandson's marriage, but she still had some brains and knew that it was impossible to succeed.

In her eyes, her own grandson is really good. Not long ago, she wished she could find a princess to marry her grandson.

You must know that her daughter is the queen, and Cheng Engong's mansion is a serious relative of the emperor.

She excitedly ran to the palace and told her daughter.

Thinking that the government would be better like this, he also said that he would treat the married princess well.

It's a pity that the current queen, her daughter scolded her mother when she found out, and directly said it was impossible.

You must know that the emperor has many sons, but now there is only one princess in the palace, the princess Chang'an who has just grown up.

After having more sons, the emperor didn't care much about the prince, but liked the princess who would not threaten his throne more.

The princess was given the title early, and a very wealthy fief was also given. The princess is also very smart, and she is very good at pleasing the emperor.

Compared with Princess Chang'an, the other Princess Yun, who was much older, was not very pleasing at all, and was directly driven to the fiefdom by the emperor.

Princess Chang'an became the emperor's favorite child. She seemed very ordinary, and she was not too arrogant, but quite well-behaved.

Later, the emperor told the queen that the criteria for choosing a son-in-law was to be handsome, preferably a handsome guy at the level of Pan An and Pan Zidu, and to be educated, that is to say, to be educated.

In addition to these two standards, people are also required to be polite, oh!After marrying a princess, it is absolutely not allowed to take concubines. There is another requirement, because the princess likes to play the piano, so the son-in-law must be able to play the piano.

After the queen said the relevant conditions, she said angrily: "Which one can Jiulang achieve? Still want to marry the princess? Don't you want to see if you have any qualifications?"

She was really angry this time. As the person concerned, she knew that she was not the emperor's concubine, and she had never given birth, so it was very difficult to live in the palace.

Many times she has to forget that she is also a woman and needs the care of others, suppressing all her emotions, and doing everything according to the emperor's wishes.

The emperor had just told her the standard of a son-in-law, and the mother-in-law ran to the palace. After hearing what the mother-in-law thought, the queen almost exploded in anger.

All these years, she had been thinking of trying to show favor to the government in front of the emperor, but her own mother turned her idea on the princess.

But really dare to think, don't even look at what Kuro is?A dude who can't do anything to marry a princess?

If it were her, she wouldn't be happy, and the emperor wouldn't agree. If she knew, she wouldn't know what to think of her.

Maybe she thought that she, as the aunt, plotted against Chang'an for her own benefit, so is it easy for her to live?
The old lady of the country was frightened by the queen's outburst, and she fell to her knees on the ground.

The queen looked at her mother and didn't know her very well. Is this her own mother?
She doesn't ask her mother to be able to help her, but don't hold her back.

She was losing her temper and looked at the kneeling person, she didn't intend to control her mother at all.

This time, the mother-in-law finally angered her. Have you ever thought about the queen's situation?
They belong to the biological mother-daughter relationship, and the queen will not be difficult for her own mother in many cases.

Even if the mother's stupidity makes the queen furious, she will soon wake up the mother, she is always her daughter.

Now the queen took the opportunity to let her mother understand one thing: being the queen and mother of a country is not an ordinary mother and daughter.

When the two of them got entangled in getting along, it should be Mrs. Guo who gave in. Apart from being mother and daughter, they were still in the relationship between king and minister.

Even if Mrs. Guo is the queen's own mother, she still has to bow down to the queen.Today the queen seems to have changed, and she intends to make her mother remember the difference between monarch and minister.

The queen didn't let the old lady get up immediately, and then said: "Since Mrs. Guo thinks that Jiulang is suitable for the princess, then tell me, what condition can he meet now?"

The queen looked at Mrs. Guo, but found that her mother still hadn't noticed the problem, which made her feel that she had indulged her mother too much before. Once the emperor wanted to rectify the mansion, the mansion would be finished with such a mistress.

Mrs. Guo was naturally unconvinced. In her eyes, her grandson was fine, not to mention the princess of the royal family, even the fairy in the sky. She argued heartily: "..."

But the queen didn't wait for her to speak, so she opened her mouth first and asked, "Is Jiulang beautiful?"

Mrs. Guo opened her mouth. The queen's family, including the queen, are not the kind of beautiful people. Their innate conditions restrict them, so they are not beauties.

The reason why the queen was selected was because she belonged to the family with a good background, and later her character became more famous, so she was selected by the first emperor to become the crown princess.

There are no handsome and beautiful genes in Cheng'en Gong's mansion at all. It has been improved for several generations, and finally it has an upper-middle appearance.

"Look, mother also knows that Jiulang's appearance is not extraordinary at all, and this appearance does not meet His Majesty's requirements."

The Duke's wife wanted to argue a few words. She thought her grandson was the most beautiful person in the world, but the queen didn't think so.

"For another request, what skills does Jiulang have? As far as I know, Jiulang has not even passed the examination as a scholar."

Speaking of the anger in the queen's heart, when the grandfather was still there, the people in the palace could walk out straight.

After the grandfather passed away, none of the people in the mansion had any great prospects, they were all a bunch of wine bags and rice bags.

There is only the title of Lord Cheng En, but what is the use of the title?It is simply a gift.

In the early years, the queen couldn't think about it, and she wanted to cheer up her natal family again.

But looking at it now, it's not bad, at least it won't cause major troubles.

Not long ago, she had a dream one night.

After waking up from the dream, I wanted to understand many things, only to find that I was very lucky.

First of all, if she didn't have a son, there would be no team problem in Duke Cheng'en's mansion.

Even when the emperor died, as a aunt, she would always become the empress dowager.

There is a saying that goes well: If you have no desires, you can be strong. After thinking about it, the queen intends to ventilate with the people in the government.

As a result, my mother wanted to ask to marry the princess when she went to Kunning Palace for Jiulang. That was a daydream.

The mother swelled up after she was not suppressed by the elders. In the eyes of the queen, this was definitely a disaster, not a blessing.

Still thinking about letting Jiulang marry Princess Chang'an?He didn't even look in the mirror, what was his ability? The queen was very angry when she thought of this.

After seeing her own mother, the queen felt very uncomfortable. After she never gave birth to a child, she once talked with Mrs. Guo.

Instead, Mrs. Guo complained, saying that the queen herself did not have the skills of a woman and could not catch her husband's heart.She is also planning to let the queen send a beauty to the emperor and give birth to a child.

The queen was so angry that she was the most beautiful person in the palace full of purples and reds, although some people said that you don't need to look at a woman to look at her looks, but to look at her heart.

But the emperor can't be such a man. You must know that there are too many beauties in this palace, and the emperor needs to review memorials every day, so he naturally thinks about how to have a good time. appearance.

When an unbeautiful queen and a beautiful concubine are together, it is natural that a beautiful person is more pleasing to the eye.The queen also once asked herself, if she was with ordinary people, she would indeed prefer to be with someone who looks beautiful.The queen blamed her mother a little bit, why didn't she make herself more beautiful?
In fact, when the emperor comes to the empress to spend the night, it is usually just to rest. As an empress of a country, it is impossible to hurry up and want to communicate with the emperor. As a result, she has no chance of pregnancy, and without the cooperation of the emperor, she Naturally, she can't conceive a child. What can she do by herself?

And the only thing she can do is that she has a good moral character, so she usually carries it, which makes the emperor stay away from him even more. If he didn't need to rest alone later, he basically wouldn't come to the queen to take a rest .

The queen saw the reality clearly, knew that it was impossible to have a child, and she didn't want to adopt the prince. She noticed the chaos, and she didn't tell anyone after she knew it.

Especially the emperor would never say that, she has already seen that the emperor has a rather fucking trait: usually he is crazy about love, and he will kill him if he hates it.

The emperor can't be wrong, it's always someone else's fault, the queen thought about it, what if the adopted child is hated by others?What if someone killed the prince?
The queen's adopted son seems to be stronger than the average concubine. Once something happens, the queen must bear part of the responsibility and will easily suffer the emperor's hatred.

After thinking it over clearly, the queen didn't plan to adopt the prince. When the emperor felt sorry for the queen and planned to give a prince to the queen to raise, he firmly refused.
