45 Chapter 45
The city of Fra is very large, the area is large, and the permanent population is also very large, but it is also very small, which is relative to the aristocratic class, and the people are like that, a small circle, who does not know whom. Please remember the URL of this site: .
Now, however, there is only one topic of discussion in this small circle, which holds 80 percent of the city's wealth—Elizabeth Field, the youngest daughter of the Field family who shines at the bar mig.
At the top of the pyramid, the men are busy creating wealth and power, while the women are busy attending party after party, showing off their family assets and gorgeous clothes and jewelry, and at the same time, they do not forget to pull their children out for a walk in the hope that when they reach the marriageable age, they can find a good marriage and combine to obtain greater benefits.
In such a circle, there are two kinds of people who are often mentioned, one is particularly excellent in their own family conditions, and the other is not excellent or even a little bad, the former is always the goal of all noble ladies and gentlemen, and the latter is to make a set for the former one.
Elizabeth, on the other hand, belonged to the latter category, at least for the long years before this time.
The ladies would laugh very subtly at the mention of her, and say, "Ah, Elizabeth, a very quiet girl." And for those young ladies, those who have a better temper will keep silent, and those who are more extroverted and domineering will pout their lips disdainfully and say, they have simply lost the face of the nobles, and they can't get on the table all day long, and they are pitiful like a country girl who has never seen the world!
However, such an evaluation, such contempt, came to an abrupt end after Elizabeth held a coming-of-age ceremony, and everyone began to wonder if the person they saw at that grand banquet was really the Elizabeth who had been bleak for more than ten years and was ignored or even too lazy to mention?
At the coming-of-age ceremony, she was so radiant, so confident and extraordinary, she appeared in front of everyone's eyes with her head held high, with a faint and confident smile on the corner of her mouth, and talked to everyone decently, which made people feel that Elizabeth seemed to be a different person.
What made many aristocratic ladies bite their silver teeth was that the clothes that were completely different from the traditional dress actually set off the ugly duckling-like stinky girl with extra pure beauty, so that those noble young masters showed amazing and appreciative expressions, they seemed to have found a dusty jewel and gathered around to talk to Elizabeth, and Elizabeth, who was surrounded by boys, was not timid at all but calmly dealt with it generously, and this reaction made those young masters more enthusiastic……
Such a coming-of-age ceremony, naturally, some people are happy and some are unhappy, but many people, after being surprised or unhappy, begin to delve into a question - where did Elizabeth's clothes come from? Why is she suddenly a cut taller?
Such questions are not only for these guests, but also for Elizabeth's family, so let's take the time back to the day of Elizabeth's bar mig.
"Beth, what the hell is going on? Why didn't you change into the dress your mother made for you but wore this one, and why did you suddenly increase your height? When the group had left, Mrs. Field, who had come to Elizabeth's bedroom, spoke first.
"yes, Beth, why did you suddenly grow so much taller? God knows how much I wanted to lift your skirt and take a look! Annita, the second lady of the Field family, walked towards Elizabeth as she spoke, and pulled up the long skirt slightly when the other party didn't react, but when her eyes touched Elizabeth's feet, Anita was still with a bit of a playful expression but was suddenly stunned, "This ...... It's ......"
Elizabeth gently but resolutely withdrew her skirt from Anita's hand and put it down, but she just rightly revealed the shoes that were different from what everyone had seen before, and smiled slightly, "Mother, this is a shoe that I specially found someone to order......
No matter what kind of inquiries Elizabeth was receiving from her mother and sister, just talking about Ning Xuan, who finally returned home, Anse El looked at his little guy's relieved expression and couldn't help but smile, "Hey, I said Ah Xuan, what kind of expression do you have, why don't you look like you're going to a banquet but like you've done some kind of coolie?" ”
"What do you say? I'd rather go to coolies. Ning Xuan sat down on the wooden chair, shook his head while putting down the messy gold jewelry that Anse El hung for him before he went out, and said, "Going to this kind of banquet is much more tiring than working, and I don't want to go in the future." ”
"Oh my God, isn't it, you can't look down on this banquet where everyone is rushing to attend, tsk, you're really different." Anse El frowned and said this, and then put his arm on Ning Xuan's shoulder and said, "Hey, how about it, isn't the dress you made is stunning and makes everyone dumbfounded?" Did the reaction give you a sense of accomplishment? ”
"Ah...... Well...... That's it. Ansel's question really scratched Ning Xuan's itch, although he didn't like that kind of occasion very much, but when he recalled the comments of the people in the banquet hall about Elizabeth's dress, although he tried his best to stabilize his expression, the smile on his face couldn't be stopped.
Anse El looked at Ning Xuan, who obviously wanted to laugh, but he had to endure taking it, and he couldn't help laughing first, and bumped him on the shoulder, "Oh, if you're happy, if you want to laugh, why bear it, looking at you like this, it looks like a very good reaction!" ”
"Hehe, well, it's not bad." Although Ning Xuan wanted to laugh like a sunflower at this time, there was still a voice in his heart that made him a little reserved, so he decided to change the topic, "Why didn't you see Aji?" ”
"Aggie is tired and going to sleep!" Ansel didn't want to talk to Ning Xuan about this now, so he only pulled him and said, "Tell me about everyone's comments in detail, don't ramble around, this is related to our future business!" Didn't anyone question the strange height of the Field's youngest daughter? There are quite a few young ladies who come to watch this kind of coming-of-age ceremony, what do they think of Elizabeth Field's dress? Did you say you wanted to do a few of them? ”
"The evaluation is okay, as for whether you said how many you want to do, then I don't know, everyone is talking in a bunch of small groups, and people will definitely think it's strange if I am such a living person." Ning Xuan shrugged.
Anse Air thought about it and felt that it was the same thing, in fact, it was not difficult to know everyone's reaction, Nadal could give it the next day, but he himself didn't know why, he was a little inexplicably excited and excited about the first appearance of Ning Xuan's work, and he couldn't wait to know at the first time whether everyone praised such a design.
When Ansel looked up and wanted to ask about the situation of the banquet at that time, he found that Ning Xuan had already walked towards the kitchen.
Ansel followed, "Hey, haven't you eaten enough?" ”
"Everyone is so reserved and only eats a little, I don't want to eat too much, but I am hungry." Ning Xuan said very unfiguratively while eating a piece of barbecue.
Anse Aire, "......"
A few days after Elizabeth's bar mitzvah, Anse El received a comprehensive review of Elizabeth's ingenious dress by the city's nobles, and after reading it, Anse El smiled brighter than a sunflower.
It is true that Elizabeth did not like the ladies very much, and her relationship with the noble ladies was a little unsatisfactory, but for the women of the aristocratic class, the meaning of their life was beautiful clothes and dazzling jewelry.
Elizabeth's brilliance at the coming-of-age ceremony deeply stimulated them, especially those young ladies, they couldn't bear the fact that the object they usually scorned was so dazzling, and they couldn't stand that such a beautiful and innovative dress was actually worn by Elizabeth first, and after seeing the two pairs of high heels brought out by Anita, the girls were crazy, why, why is there such a wonderful design, Such shoes make their legs look so straight but not lose the beauty of the lines, make them look so energetic, and such a peerless shoe is actually the first Elizabeth to wear! This is a great insult to them!
It should be them who lead the way in the dress of the young ladies in the city, not Elizabeth, who is wizened and hated at first sight, and it should be them who shine at the banquet instead of Elizabeth, who seems to be a country girl who has never seen the world! Presumably, this kind of insult about 'fashion' is as angry as men being looked down upon in public. Although they wanted to tear Elizabeth's clothes to shreds, they were finally stopped by the upbringing of the nobles who remembered them, and they began to turn their heads to find the person who made the clothes for Elizabeth, since even a hopeless person like Elizabeth could become a swan, then they must have become more dazzling!
But this qiē, for now, Ning Xuan still knows nothing, he doesn't know that those noble ladies and noble ladies have begun to frantically look for him, Elizabeth's coming-of-age ceremony is just a flat-headed common people to meet the market once, and there is no more meaning, because in Ning Xuan's heart, even if his last design was very amazing, but after all, it is a dress, how rare it is to wear it once, so, after returning from that girl's coming-of-age ceremony, How Ning Xuan's life should be lived or how to live, there has been no change at all.
As the summer gradually came to an end, the weather slowly cooled down, Ning Xuan didn't go home first after taking Aji to buy groceries, but walked in the other direction, Aji has always had a good memory, and at this time, looking at the direction of the road, he couldn't help grabbing the corner of Ning Xuan's clothes with his front paws and asked puzzledly, "PAPA, this seems to be the road to the training ground." ”
"Well, it's going there, it's still early, let's go to the training ground and see, okay?" Ning Xuan nodded with a smile and replied, as time passed, Aji grew up a lot, and its usual actions slowly took off its initial childishness and harmlessness, and it always showed an offensive posture unintentionally, Ning Xuan knew that this was the nature of Scitron, and he didn't want Aji to wander around with nothing to do every day, so he decided to go to the training ground to have a look, if Aji was interested in training, Ning Xuan would have to go to find the facial paralysis general who made the promise.
For what Ning Xuan said, Aji has always been very obedient, so he just nodded obediently at this time, "Okay." ”
Aji's well-behaved can always make Ning Xuan like it, and after receiving an affirmative answer at this time, he smiled and held Aji's front paws and walked towards the direction of the training ground like an ordinary father holding his son.
Like last time, because of the entrance nameplate, Ning Xuan took Aji into the training ground unimpeded and found an unobtrusive position in the stands and sat down.
Inside the arena, there is still a hot training scene, and the adult Cytrons either train their companions as imaginary enemies to attack and defend, or cooperate with their masters to cooperate tacitly, or occasionally stop to listen carefully to the criticism and suggestions put forward by the dragon trainers.
Ning Xuan took Aji's future very seriously, and Aji, who was flowing with the blood of Cytron, was very excited because the nature in his body was gradually awakened, and the loud roar of the Cytron, the rapid running and collision again and again, and the dexterous sweep of the tail made Aji tremble a little with excitement, and felt that his blood was boiling, and he couldn't wait to jump off the field immediately to train with those Cytrons.
Compared with Aji's excitement, Ning Xuan's brows furrowed slightly, and there was a trace of doubt in his eyes-why didn't he see the facial paralysis general's Setdragon? Looking around the field, it seems that the Setdragon in the same lounge as the one named Byrne has not appeared, what the hell is going on? Could it be that the accident that occurred last time has not been resolved?
Just as Ning Xuan was puzzled, a voice suddenly sounded behind him, "Mr. Ning Xuan?" ”
This voice first made Ning Xuan stunned for a moment, and then turned his head to look at the person who was looking at him condescendingly, "General Gonzalez." ”
"I didn't expect to see you here today." Although his words sounded a little surprised by Ning Xuan's arrival, Ning Xuan couldn't see any expression on the other party's masked face.
"Hehe, I happened to be free today, so I brought Aji over to have a look. I didn't expect to meet you here. Ning Xuan replied with a smile and politely, seeing that the other party did not answer after he finished saying this, he had to find something to greet, "Is the general training Setdragon here?" I don't think I saw your Cytroon. ”
But as soon as Ning Xuan said this, he regretted it, because he felt that the temperature around him dropped several degrees in an instant.
Gonzalez looked at Ning Xuan, who was still as mellow and white as before, smiling and amiable, and then looked at the cubs who were able to sit here quietly and watch Settron train like a person, and said, "Bourne is still resting. ”
"Ah...... yes, uh...... I'm sorry, I don't know. Ning Xuan felt that his CPU should be upgraded, because things always went wrong.
But before Ning Xuan could figure out how to speak, Gonzalez on the other end spoke again, "Do you want to go see Bourne?" ”
"Huh?" Ning Xuan looked at Gonzalez dumbfoundedly, thinking that he had misheard.
"Didn't you say you were free now and wanted to go see Bourne?" Gonzalez patiently repeated this sentence again, and then said the next sentence before Ning Xuan could find an excuse to refuse, "It's not too long before the trial of Celtron into the training camp, I made an agreement with Mr. Anse El Dupont to let Byrne be the instructor of your Sytroon, so it's better to let them get acquainted with each other from now on." ”
"Huh?" Ning Xuan is stupid again, what kind of teacher? Why didn't Anse mention it to himself? Bourne? That nasty Cytroon? Be Aggie's teacher? Why did Ning Xuan feel that this sentence was a bit incomprehensible?
"What do you think?" Gonzalez asked as if he didn't see the confused expression on Ning Xuan's face.
"Okay." Although the relationship and conditioning have not been smoothed out, Ning Xuan has already agreed happily, there is no other reason, although the Cytroon is very bad, but its excellent Ning Xuan also knows, it is better to agree first.
When Ning Xuan took Aji and followed Gonzalez to the lounge, Aji, who had been following Ning Xuan behind him, suddenly tugged at the corner of Ning Xuan's clothes with his front paws, "Papa." ”
"Huh? What's wrong? Turning his head and seeing his son's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, Ning Xuan slowed down and lowered his head and asked softly.
"Papa, really, really want that Settron to be my mentor?" Aggie has an inexplicable fear of Gonzalez, so it remains silent as soon as Gonzalez appears, but that doesn't mean it hasn't heard his Papa talking to the other party, and now after a few hesitations, Aggie finally decided to talk to his Papa about it.
"This ......" Seeing Aji's somewhat hesitant expression, what Ning Xuan was about to say was something else, "Not necessarily, let's go and see it first, this kind of thing is of course Aji's own decision, after all, it is for you to choose a teacher, of course, you want to think it is suitable for you." ”
Listening to Ning Xuan's words, Aji breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, his Papa didn't make a decision now, just like Aji has a natural fear of Gonzalez, for the Cytron named Bourne, due to the previous unpleasant memories, although he knows that the other party is very powerful and brave, but for becoming his own teacher, Aji still has a lot of thoughts.
Looking at Aji's relieved appearance, Ning Xuan felt funny, but Yu Guang skimmed Gonzalez and stopped standing not far in front of him, waiting for him, so he didn't say much, but touched Aji's little head, took Aji's front paws and walked towards Gonzalez with it like when he came to the training ground.
The guard guarding the door of the lounge saw Gonzalez coming with Ning Xuan and a Cytroon, although a trace of doubt flashed on his face, he still saluted very professionally, and then opened the door at Gonzalez's signal.
Ning Xuan took Aji and followed Gonzalez into the lounge, and the scene inside made him stunned again - although the Cytroon inside was no longer dancing like the first time he came, but the behemoth in front of him who was only paralyzed on the ground as if he had no bones was the brave Cytroon that Ning Xuan had seen on the training ground?
"This ...... This is ......" Ning Xuan couldn't help but look at Gonzalez with questioning eyes, "I thought they had recovered from that illusion of nothingness, didn't they have yet?" ”
This time, through the mask, Ning Xuan could also feel that the other party was frowning, and the other party's tone revealed a thick incomprehension and a trace of anxiety, "Yes, after the inspection of the dragon trainer, they have indeed gotten rid of that psychedelic state, but the same dragon trainer can't tell why they are so lazy and have no strength at all after they wake up from the hallucination." ”
Compared with Gonzalez's helplessness, Ning Xuan at this moment was amazed in his heart that the 'catnip' of this era Oh, no, it should be the infinite power of 'dragon mint', and the sequelae are so strict.
"Mr. Ning, may I ask, will the cats in your hometown who have eaten catnip also have such a long period of laziness after going through that period of psychedelia?" Gonzalez then asked.
"It should ...... No way. Ning Xuan wasn't very sure, "As far as I know, cats will soon return to normal ...... after that period of psychedelia," Ning Xuan found a problem, "Hey, wait, are you saying, are you saying that these Cytroons really ate something similar to catnip to become what they are now?" ”
"Yes." Facing Ning Xuan's question, Gonzalez didn't hide anything, and nodded happily, "After your inspiration, we finally confirmed that these Cytrons did eat a plant similar to catnip to become what they are now. But," after saying this turning point, Ning Xuan felt that the other party's brows should be furrowed again, "This follow-up reaction is not the same as what you described, this group of Cytrons has been in this state for several days now, but no effective solution has been found at present." ”
"Oh...... I see. Ning Xuan nodded, and suddenly understood why the other party invited him to visit the Cellon lounge again, but unfortunately, he was not a veterinarian, and he still caught a glimpse of catnip when he was bored and scrolling through the web one day.
"So—" Gonzalez was about to say something, but was interrupted by a shrill whistling.
And this sharp howling sound sounded in Ning Xuan's ears, but it was a burst of crying - "I only said to give you one, but I didn't say all for you, you return my balls!! ”
