The road from Africa to Europe

Chapter 309
And Ling Xiao had an epiphany the moment he walked out, she had the ability to make herself inconspicuous, which was pretty good.She doesn't like the feeling of being so radiant. There are many people watching wherever she goes, and she is too conspicuous in everything she does.

I feel that it is better to be low-key, so that I can do what I want, not because I have to take into account the future of the original owner, and I can only let others do everything, which feels a bit tiring.

On the way, the coachman told her the result of the investigation, Madam Dou belonged to Dingxibo Mansion, Dingxibo Mansion?After Ling Xiao repeated it in his mind, he quickly picked up information about Dingxibo Mansion.

Dingxibo Mansion was the Marquis' Mansion back then, not the Bo's Mansion. There used to be a capable man who was used to fighting. After making great achievements, Dingxihou's Mansion came into existence, but it has declined in recent years.

This is because the situation in the Hou Mansion is not very good, and there is no such thing as a hero and a hero. Most of the descendants of the Hou Mansion are mediocre children who only take credit from their predecessors.

Because the first Marquis of Dingxi spent his whole life in war, he had no extra time to guide his children and grandchildren, and he couldn't take care of the education of his own children.

In the end, the descendants who came out of the Dingxihou's Mansion were all incapable of writing and martial arts. They had no great abilities at all, and they were always the most ordinary people.

This has led to the current Bofu House, which has become the most common type of official family except for the Bofu brand, with little strength.

When the first generation of Dingxihou knew the real situation in his family, he was very dissatisfied. He didn't think that the descendants would be a bunch of wimps.

He wanted to rectify his son, but his mother would not allow him, a father, to discipline his sons.

He disagreed in his heart, so he thought about it again, forget it!As long as the former mother always wanted him to live, don't stand out from others.

But when he grew up, he didn't listen to his mother's words. Instead, after joining the army, he fought his way among thousands of troops and became Lord Marquis.

For this reason, his mother lost her hair less than a year after he joined the army. He is a not very filial son.

After having a son, Lord Hou had an idea in order to make up for his regret of not being filial in front of his mother.

He sent his own sons to their mothers one by one, and asked the sons to perform filial piety for him, an unfilial son.

The old lady naturally raised her grandchildren according to her own ideas, no matter how mediocre they were.

When Dingxihou discovered the problem, it was irreversible, and in the end he just let out a long sigh.

In addition, he also knew that he had held military power for too long, and he was afraid that the emperor would not be too relieved.

If all the children and grandchildren are mediocre, it will make the emperor feel more at ease.

In the later days, there was nothing to say to make the children and grandchildren work hard.

As a result, the heirs of the Dingxihou Mansion are all mediocre generations.

The former Hou's Mansion has become the Bo's Mansion with only empty signs left.

Fortunately, although there is no monstrous wealth.

The people in the Hou Mansion have always been normal.

But it has been passed down.

Many of the nobles of the same period were finished.

It's not that the whole family is copied and cut, or it is exiled for thousands of miles.

The people in Bofu have been living contentedly.

Anyway, with the reputation of the uncle's mansion, living a mediocre life is the top priority.

There is also a different kind among them, that is the old lady's own son.

The half-brother of the current uncle has a few talents, and he passed the imperial examination.

Speaking of which, the age gap between the uncle and this younger brother is not small, as much as 40 years.

Someone once said that the eldest grandson of the current uncle is older than this uncle, and the seniority is overwhelming.

Ling Xiao was a little surprised after hearing this. The gap between them was too big, and it didn't feel like an old clam begets pearls.

In later generations, there are six 70 years old women who became mothers, but they adopted scientific methods to become mothers, which was not possible in ancient society.

Generally, women begin menopause around 50 years old, which means that her ovaries have no new eggs to mature, and the ovaries and uterus begin to shrink.

How could it be possible to give birth to a child again in six 70 years old?This is not the so-called world of immortals. Ling Xiao thought for a while, and felt that it was very possible that this old lady was not the original wife, but a second wife.

If the guess is correct, the age gap between the old uncle and the old lady is not small, hey!The woman who became the stepmother was really sad. Marrying such an old man suddenly reminded her of a sentence.

And that sentence comes from a poem by Su Shi: Eighteen brides and eighty husbands, with pale hair and red makeup.The mandarin ducks are trapped in a double night, and the pear blossoms of a tree press down on the crabapple.It was Su Shi who deliberately wrote it to tease his friend Zhang Xian. Later, this bride gave birth to several children, two sons and two daughters.

It can be seen from this that this kind of marriage between eighteen brides and eighty men is not uncommon. If one has power and money, then seventy-eighty men can still get married again.After Ling Xiao figured out that it was the Xibo Mansion, she planned to see who Madam Dou belonged to at night. She felt that she was not far from the truth, and she would know what was going on after she found out.

After thinking it over clearly, the group of them went to the place where Shibaniang lived. After all, after receiving the imperial edict, Shibaniang's siblings entered the capital. Ling Xiao didn't know how the little girl Shibaniang was doing now?Besides, Ji Moan was very angry after arriving in the capital, but her marriage was manipulated by others.

No matter how you look at it, it feels like making her jump into a pit. Although she had considered going to Yandi before, she was turned into a person who might fill the pit by an imperial decree before she had time to do anything. Very angry, some unhappy.

She has been thinking about what she should do these days?Wanting to go to Yandi is completely different from being forced to go to Yandi by imperial decree. Anyway, it can be seen that all the noble ladies in the capital do not want to go to Yandi.

This discovery makes Yi suddenly very angry. When there are good things, he can't think of himself, but when there are uncertain things, he thinks of himself. What kind of emperor is this?
Anyway, she didn't have a good impression of the new emperor for this kind of behavior. She made up her mind to decide what to do after she arrived in Yandi.

There is another question: that is An Geer, keep him in the capital?no!Ji Mo quickly denied this bad idea.

She wants to take away her only real brother, and she is absolutely worried about him being alone. Who knows what will be waiting in the capital?

Fortunately, after several years of conditioning, An Ge'er's body still looks weak, but it is much better than before.

Now it has come to the point where you don't need to take medicine for every meal. For An Ge, this is his best state.

Let the little guy start to become a little naughty, and I suddenly knew that An Geer would be like ordinary people.

Why didn't this make Yi Moan happy, she was annoyed that her brother's recovery was too slow.

But now, I feel that this is a good excuse to leave the capital.

An Ge'er can take him away if his health is not very good.

Instead of staying in the capital, let the siblings care about each other.

If you know something, it's already too late
She thought of her grandmother, the eldest princess, who had passed away.

In order to support their siblings, all efforts have been made.

To the end of her life, the grandmother has been living for their siblings.

After thinking clearly, she felt that she had the strength to face difficulties, and she had sister Tao's by her side.

There was a sister from the Tao family who made Ji Mou very grateful to Shi Erniang, and specially gave her a generous gift when she got married.

As for why he is grateful to Twelve Niangs?It's because I suddenly feel that only because of her can I know sister Tao's family.

Even later, Shiba Niang didn't have extra time to become close friends with Shi Er Niang.

But she still wants to thank Twelve Niangs, and she must know that the well digger is not forgotten when drinking water.

After making friends with the eldest lady of the Tao family, he made his younger brother a lot of money.

Only with the presence of sister Tao's family did Ang'er get better.

Sometimes I don't want to bother the other party any more.

But I hope sister Tao's family will pay attention to An Ge'er's situation.

Especially now she wants to know what sister Tao's true thoughts are.

During this period of time, she has been busy with etiquette training, and her life is a bit boring.

Just today she received news that Ling Xiao had arrived.

She was very happy after hearing this, and quickly sent a message to let Ling Xiao in.

After waiting for a while for the two to meet each other, Shiba Niang smiled.

It was the first time for many people to see the enthusiasm bursting out of Yan suddenly.

All of a sudden, the whole person came alive, with joy in his expression.

This discovery made the rest of them wait for the arrival with some curiosity.

It was the first time for many of them to see this elder sister of the Tao family, and they saw her slender figure.

Wearing a blue Taoist robe and the simplest Taoist bun on his head, he smiled when he saw people.

At first glance, I feel that the person coming is not too conspicuous, but I definitely don't feel any discomfort.

Then you will find that this Kun Dao is a very integrated person, and you will feel comfortable in simple actions.

People quickly got a good impression, even though they didn't know anything about this person and communicated more.

"Senior Sister, you are finally here. I miss you very much. By the way, where are Saburo and Goro? Didn't they come with you?" Ji Moo said.

After living together for several years, Ji suddenly regards Saburo Goro as his brother, and it is a little strange that the two of them did not come to the capital.

"They have come. They should still be in the Hou's Mansion. They can't come in to see you, so they have no plan to come in to see you."

"Hou's Mansion?" Ji Mo was a little surprised, wondering which Hou's Mansion it was?But soon he woke up, it was the Marquis of Changchun.

"Today, I went to see the future Mrs. Hou, so I have time to see how you are doing now."

"Well, I guess it's her, there's nothing to say now, everyone has changed," said Yan Mo.

"Fortunately, there is still senior sister here, I just want to talk to senior sister." Yan suddenly blinked and said.

She reached out to hold Ling Xiao's arm, trying to gain the courage to continue walking down.

Before she knew that she was bound to go to Yandi, so she followed suit and agreed.

But she didn't know what to do because of the legend of Yandi.

After seeing Ling Xiao coming today, I suddenly seemed to have a backbone in my heart.

Ling Xiao patted her hand lightly, and glanced at the unhappy people.

He said to the person who taught Ji Mou: "I wonder if I have time to talk to Shiba Niang?"

Ling Xiao could see that they should be from the inner courtyard of the palace, and there was a nun who came to train Yi Mou's manners.

She married to represent the face of the royal family, and she had to go through special training in many aspects of etiquette.

At this moment, Shiba Niang was a little nervous, and wanted to find a strong friend to support her, but Ling Xiao realized that she was late.

She hadn't considered the idea of ​​絔早 before, which was indeed a lot of pressure for a young girl who hadn't experienced major events.

It's not like she's someone who has traveled through several worlds. She feels that the current training is putting a heavy burden on her spirit. Is it necessary to be so picky?

The nanny in the palace didn't really want to show face, but she was also well-informed. After seeing Ling Xiao, she realized that this young Kun Dao was not an ordinary person.

Although this nanny has enough pride, none of the people who can get out of the palace are fools.Although this Tao family lady is not well-known in the capital, she is very imposing.

Although this kind of momentum rarely appeared, she could feel it, so she nodded and said, "Yes, the Princess has been practicing for a long time, so why not stop here for today's lesson."

Ling Xiao nodded after hearing this, and everyone else left one after another, so that Ling Xiao and Ling Xiao had a chance to have a good conversation, so they heard Yi Mou say, "Senior Sister, I'm a little scared."

After hearing some hesitant words, Ling Xiao looked at her. She was still a child of 15 years old. She was only preparing for the high school entrance examination in the modern society and had not yet entered high school.

Even though children in ancient times were generally precocious, it still made Shiba Niang feel pressured. This kind of fear and hesitation is quite normal.

"What are you afraid of? Momo, you didn't go alone, brother An, and all of us went together." Ling Xiao said.

Ji suddenly nodded, his eyes felt sour after hearing what he wanted to hear, but he laughed again.

The two walked slowly to a pond and stopped. Ling Xiao smiled and said, "We all have to face reality."

"You won't be bullied after arriving in Yandi, but you have to be strong yourself, after all."

Speaking of this, Ling Xiao paused for a moment and said, "There is no banquet in this world that lasts forever."

"There will always be separation between people, and you must work hard on your own."

Zi Mu nodded after hearing this, she naturally knew that one day she would have to rely on herself.

"It's like I used to think that my father and mother would be together forever."

"But after the flood came, they ended up heading west."

When she said this, Ling Xiao's voice still sounded very calm.

But it could be heard that Ling Xiao's voice was a little low, but it was actually a little sad.

Ji suddenly didn't speak, because she remembered that her guardian grandmother, the eldest princess, had also gone west.

For her, this is a dull pain deep in her heart, and this kind of pain may accompany her for the rest of her life.

On the contrary, An Geer is still young, and many things are gradually forgotten. For example, he is gradually forgetting his deceased grandmother now.

Ling Xiao asked her to tell An Ge'er about the eldest princess in detail after she grew up, and he would not easily forget the past at that time.

Every year at the memorial ceremony, I will never forget that I will go to see my grandmother's tomb with An Geer, as well as her parents, which also need to be memorialized.

Ling Xiao glanced around and said: "Today's Twelve Niangs are very funny." Ling Xiao didn't smile at all when he said this. In her opinion, Twelve Niangs' positions have changed a bit. In the early years, Twelve Niangs still didn't do it Something bad for her came out, but the situation has changed a bit now.

Ji Mou was very clever, and she heard that Ling Xiao's attitude towards Twelve Niang was even more alienated. She looked at Ling Xiao and said, "Could it be that Senior Sister found something wrong?"

"She wanted me to keep Saburo and Goro, saying that she could take care of the two of them. It's really funny." Ling Xiao shook his head and said.

Zi suddenly widened his eyes when he heard this, and couldn't believe his ears, what?Twelve Niangs wants to take care of Saburo and Goro?
Then sister Tao's family will owe a lot of favors, and Twelve Niangs will only do it if there is any benefit.

She said: "What? She has a thick skin, and she is planning to steal your peaches? Sister, I'm on your side."

While talking, she patted her own chest, feeling that she and her senior sister belonged to the same country, and ignored the twelve mothers.

Ling Xiao smiled slightly and said, "I asked Twelve Niang two things, and I made her cancel her original plan."

"She wants it when there are benefits to her, but she's discouraged because of the risks."

Ji suddenly shook his head and said, "I want the horse to run fast, and I want the horse not to eat grass!"

"How can there be such a good thing in the world?" With a bit of mockery.

After she finished speaking, she laughed, and Ling Xiao also smiled.

At this moment, Yi suddenly understands Twelve Niangs.

It was good to see her conduct herself in the world before.

But now it seems that she is not close friends.

Once something happens.

She must run fast.

The two talked for a while.

Suddenly, I went to practice etiquette by myself.

She has been a little negligent since the eldest princess left.

Ling Xiao doesn't care much about etiquette, he just wants to be casual.

And as folks, they really don't need those things, so they don't care too much.

Fortunately, Zi Mo's foundation is still there, and it's not that Ling Xiao has no manners, but that her movements are a little more casual.

Her temperament makes others unable to feel the problem, and Ye Mo is still a little weaker, so this time I need to practice more.

Ling Xiao didn't disturb their practice, but went to the kitchen, intending to send some delicious food to Yan Mou.
