At the appointed time, Ling Xiao took Ah Wu on the road early in the morning.

She didn't care too much about the gathering of high-ranking officials and nobles in the capital.

This is because she and the ladies in the capital are not the same person.

In the previous world, she had the opportunity to witness the living habits of the ancient aristocracy.

Because the original owner was a noble man, there was a difference between men and women, and she didn't know much about the lives of aristocratic women.

This world is female, but the Tao family is a little out of the lives of the powerful, so it is still a little different.

If you want to get a closer look at the lifestyle of the top aristocratic women in ancient times, you still need to enter the circle in the capital.

After arriving in the capital, she didn't think about breaking into that circle, because now this body is not qualified, and the Tao family is completely in decline.

There are not a few clansmen left in the entire Tao family, even those who are officials are also minor officials, and they immediately enter the state of Ding worry, and when they finish Ding worry, they will find that the previous resources are gone.

The Tao family members who once had connections basically died in the flood, and as soon as they left the tea, they were cold, and the connections they mastered were tantamount to being finished, and everything was started all over again.

In addition, Ling Xiao knew that the Tao family had fallen out of the scope of the family directly, but it was actually not bad, at least some land should belong to the Tao family.

Even if it has been washed by the water, but when the water recedes, you can still reclaim a lot of land and a place to stand by cleaning up.

However, after a lot of people from the Tao family died at once, their forces were also greatly damaged, and the Tao family may not be able to keep so much land.

Sure enough, as Ling Xiao expected, the Tao family had no money in the future, so they had to sell a lot of land cheaply.

Ling Xiao, as a junior, didn't care about this matter, anyway, the land of this branch shrank greatly later.

After knowing the situation in the capital and the general trend of the world, she didn't care about the shrinkage of land at all.

In the event of chaos in the future, it will be even more dangerous for the landlords who have no power to protect themselves.

It doesn't matter much if you have more or less property or something, let's live first.

Sitting in the old horse-drawn car, Ling Xiao was thinking about a question.

Why did the Tao family die so much this time?

It can be said that few of the Tao family members in the entire clan area escaped.

Some of the bodies were washed downstream, only to be gathered one by one.

Most of the bones of these people are unrecognizable, and can only be identified by clothing.

Others were not found, perhaps they were fished out for other purposes, or they may have been turned into nameless corpses.

The original owner's grandparents just didn't find their whereabouts, and in the end they could only set up a mound and have a yin house.

Ling Xiao asked after receiving the news, she had some preconceived ideas before, and scolded the grandfather and grandmother of the original owner in her heart.

I think they are all pig teammates, and they belong to the kind of stupid people who don't know their minds and refuse to leave, and they are simply unreasonable people.

But after Ling Xiao learned about the situation, he found that there was a reason for this, which was more due to the fact that they didn't believe that there would be any major floods at all.

One or two are like this, she asked the rest of the Tao family, only to know that the idea of the original owner's grandfather and grandmother turned out to be the agreement of most of the Tao family.

Those people didn't believe that there would be a flood there at all, and when Ling Xiao first heard about it, his first feeling was to scoff at this thought, why couldn't there be a flood?

You must know that according to the memory of the original owner, it has indeed rained for several days in a row, and there is also a small river in the clan land, so the possibility of flooding is relatively high. Why are they all old gods here and don't want to leave at all?

After thinking about it for a while, she couldn't help but want to gasp first, although she didn't know what was going on now, but she knew that there must be something wrong with it.

Just imagine, when it rains all the time, it is normal for people to be afraid of the river embankment bursting, but the Tao family is so calm that they think they are okay here.

If you change places, I'm afraid that when everyone feels that the situation is not good, they will act early, and go to a high place with their families, and the Tao family will have no major incident.

It's a pity that they don't believe in danger and don't leave their homes, which leads to the catastrophe when the Tao family escapes from the flood.

So the question is, why is the Tao family so stubborn? It's as if I feel from the bottom of my heart that the Tao family's territory will be fine.

Mystery confidence! You must know that this is a natural disaster and cannot be controlled by human beings, so why are they so confident?

What kind of confidence does the Tao family have? What kind of confidence and hole cards will make them have no scruples in the face of danger?

This makes them not afraid of a possible flood at all, which is not very in line with normal people's thinking.

Then there is only one possibility, unless they think in their hearts that nothing will happen at all.

How could they have this idea in their heads? Impossible, right? EMMMM！

The current human race is a defenseless and weak person in the face of natural disasters.

Or is there anything special they are prepared for? So there is no fear of floods at all?

But in fact, it turns out that the Tao family are all mortals who died when the flood came.

It's not possible for them to be free of any damage, and there's a problem in between.

No matter how Ling Xiao thought about it, he felt that this was not right, and he lacked certain information to find evidence.

Now this world belongs to ancient times, and the mode of transportation is extremely underdeveloped, and horseback riding represents the fastest mode of transportation.

How did the long-distance marathon come about? Legend has it that someone ran more than 40 kilometers to report victory.

When he said the news of the victory, he was exhausted, which shows how inconvenient the exchange of information was in ancient times.

The fastest way to contact information is to have those who report the news on horseback, and change horses every time they go anywhere, which is the fastest speed.

This leads to the problem that all aspects of ancient information are not easy to find, and it is even more impossible to tell the information in those places.

At this time, there is absolutely no Du Niang, and if you want to find out the situation, you can only look at the local history to which this place belongs, and you can know some of the situation.

The problem is that she has to send someone to investigate, Ling Xiao will write down this aspect of the problem, and wait for the opportunity to talk about it later. There is no evidence, everything is utopian.

Maybe in the eyes of others, this is just a conspiracy theory that Ling Xiao came up with, but she attaches great importance to it, if the Tao family really has a problem, then will the original owner's family get in the way of others' eyes?

The reason why it is like this is that Ling Xiao feels that it would be good if San Lang and Gorou didn't come out much, but if they were outstanding, would it attract more targets because someone wanted to target the Tao family?

She wasn't sure about this at all, but she had to be careful, sometimes hatred came inexplicably. And if you don't have any precautions, you can only make the parties suffer, Ling Xiao decided to let San Lang and Goro be careful, and they must also investigate.

Fortunately, Ling Xiao has understood the rules of this world over the years, and this time going to the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion is even a temptation, and it is the first time that Ling Xiao has had close contact with those noble ladies of the top magnates in ancient times.

By the way, I also want to take a closer look at the twelve mothers of the Hou Mansion, what is going on? Why she has a special interest in herself, Ling Xiao has long found out.

Why do you say that? There is also a reason that the people from the Hou Mansion never came to the other courtyard later, but Ling Xiao found that every time Little Peach came home, he would appear near him.

Xiao Taozi tried her best not to deliberately observe, maybe others couldn't notice her attention, Ling Xiao was much stronger than ordinary people in these places of the six senses.

After contemplating the Kabbalah Tree of Life and the Anti-Life Tree for many years, the six senses became more powerful, allowing her to see farther and hear things more clearly.

The original owner's body is relatively powerful in all aspects, far from being a weak woman, so Ling Xiao went to see Twelve Niang with a lot of questions.

After arriving at the place, Ling Xiao got out of the carriage, and some people saw the old horse and thought that there was an autumn breeze, but fortunately, there was an invitation from the Hou Mansion.

Even then, they were not immediately invited in, and the men looked at the late guest with curious and astonished eyes.

Because the clothes Ling Xiao was wearing were too ordinary, and he still had a mask on his face, the people of the Hou Mansion almost didn't let Ling Xiao enter.

Ling Xiao didn't care much, she didn't care at all, let go in and see the excitement as much as possible, and don't let people go in.

Fortunately, Twelve Niang also sent someone to see why Ling Xiao hadn't arrived yet, so she let people in.

In order not to embarrass the original owner, Ling Xiao used the most normal way to meet this Twelve Niang.

And the maid who brought her in was also quite regular, and it was quiet all the way.

Before turning the corner, I also informed Ling Xiao because there were too many people today.

For the time being, there is no need for her to visit the elders of the Hou Mansion.

Go directly to the boudoir of the Twelfth Mother.

Ling Xiao knew the reason as soon as he heard it.

Her identity was not placed in the hearts of the people of the Hou Mansion.

is a down-and-out little lady who has no official at home.

Of course, those nobles will not take Ling Xiao in their eyes, it is not a grade.

Ling Xiao didn't care too much when she found out, she just ran to see the excitement, and watched it up close by the way.

She didn't think about anything more to do with the Hou Mansion at all, and even she knew that it looked like Xungui was having a good life.

In fact, it is also difficult for these noble families, and at this point, it is difficult to go further, and there may be problems if you take a step back.

In many cases, glory and wealth are simply empty, so why care about their attitude towards her? She didn't need to be angry at all.

And she also saw the traces of those nobles, those who were gorgeously dressed, all walking very slowly, just those little broken steps, which looked very beautiful indeed.

The downside is that they're too slow, EMMMM! No wonder the ladies and ladies don't like to move, this kind of gait tests people after all.

After reading it, she felt that the movement speed was super slow, and she deliberately calculated the corresponding time, and found that if the lady took a step, she should have taken three or four steps away, and she could pretend to be a lady for a while.

But considering that if she pretends to be absolutely too tired all the time, she won't do such a foolish thing at all, so she doesn't bother to maintain any friendship with those noble girls, it seems that she should be regarded as an autumn breeze, or she wants to take advantage, which makes her feel very unhappy.

Just like the idea of changing a maid who led the way just now, it should be just thinking about sending them over quickly, the little maid's walking speed has not slowed down all the way, if Ling Xiao is the same as the average girl, I am afraid that I will not be able to catch up with this little girl who leads the way.

As a puppet, Ah Wu didn't say anything at all, and Ling Xiao didn't care what the other party thought, she was wearing shoes that looked like soft-soled embroidered shoes, which were actually small magic weapons that mortals could wear.

After putting it on, there is no diaphragm at all, and it is very brisk to walk, walking is a little faster, but it is an indescribable chic in Lingxiao.

The little maid who led the way in front didn't have eyes behind her, so she didn't notice it at all, but the guests who came behind saw it, but they couldn't catch up at all.

The clothes worn by the guest made the walking speed a little slower, but fortunately, the maid with her was the more polite maid just now.

She hurriedly informed the guest: Ling Xiao should go to Twelve Niang, so don't rush to chase after her, you can always meet Ling Xiao anyway.

The little maid took Ling Xiao all the way to hurry, and when she arrived at the place, she found that this guest had not been panting all the time.

She naturally knew that she was not doing very well, and after a glance at Ling Xiao, she found that she didn't care at all.

When the little maid retired, Ling Xiao asked Ah Wu to give her a purse, which contained a pair of silver cloves.

The little girl was surprised and delighted when she opened it later, and the guest who came looked quite rich.

She put her purse away, looked at the guest again, and saw that she had entered.

At this time, Ah Wu was taken to the place where the maid was staying.

In addition, there was a maid with a maid and Ling Xiao into the boudoir of the Twelve Niangs.

After hearing the report, Twelve Niang asked people to be invited into Lingxiao, did she want to see how she was?

After seeing Ling Xiao who suddenly appeared, the ladies in the entire room were all surprised.

None of them knew this person, and Ling Xiao was not wearing a brocade robe today, but a cloth robe.

It doesn't seem to be a rich person, nor is it a little lady of an official family, so whose family is it?

Ling Xiao only had a hosta on his head, which looked like it was worth a few dollars, and there was nothing more than jewelry.

But what made everyone pay more attention was that Ling Xiao's face was wearing a mask that was only half part, which made everyone look at it with surprise.

"Twelve Niang, who is this?" Someone looked at Ling Xiao with a little curiosity, not knowing what qualifications she had to go to the Hou Mansion, it should be someone from the Hou Mansion who invited her.

They hadn't had the chance to meet before at all, so it showed that Ling Xiao and the Hou Mansion had some origins, but the relationship between them was not too close.

Twelve Niang had already seen Ling Xiao, she smiled at her friend, patted her friend's hand comfortingly, she knew that Ling Xiao's face was injured.

He stood up and walked over, and said generously: "Cousin, you are here, I am very glad that you can come, I am very happy." ”

According to their relationship, they do call each other cousins, which is a relatively close relationship.

The original owner's mother and the twelfth mother's mother are cousins, and they are said to look super similar.

People who don't know still think that the two of them are sisters and should have a good relationship.

But according to Ling Xiao's feelings, this pair of cousins is just so.

This is evident from their ledgers with each other.

The gifts to each other are quite prosaic.

It belongs to the kind of general gift-giving that is reluctant to be carried out because of kinship.
