Chapter 32: The Fan

The people of the Hou Mansion naturally do not easily recognize any relatives.

You must know that because of the marriage, there are more relatives in the Hou Mansion.

And the entire upper class is really more or less related to each other.

The people of the Hou Mansion will not intercede for others, they still live their own lives first.

Even if there are people who are very familiar, even if they are real relatives, the people of the Hou Mansion will not reach out easily.

This is especially true for the Tao family's experience, anyway, the Hou Mansion can't use the Tao family, so the relationship has always been quite dull.

You must know that the Hou Mansion is a military general, and the people of the Tao family are all civil officials, which leads to the fact that the resources of the two sides basically do not overlap.

There is no benefit in terms of interests, and the Hou Mansion doesn't care too much about the people and things of the Tao family from the bottom of his heart, and his friendship is very indifferent.

The only person in the Hou Mansion who is more worried about Ling Xiao is Twelve Niang, and Ling Xiao doesn't care about the thoughts of the Hou Mansion, and Twelve Niang has always been strange in her heart.

This weird feeling Twelve Niang didn't tell anyone, because she had her own secrets, and it was impossible to share them with anyone, so she would only taste them alone.

For her invitation to the eldest lady of the Tao family, the mother of the twelfth mother did not say anything, but asked her not to be arrogant, and now she crushes the daughter of the Tao family in terms of identity.

After hearing her mother's words, she felt a little inexplicably anxious, and her mother's originally peaceful voice became very harsh, so that she had to try to control the power of the desolation in her heart.

Her mother, Mrs. Hou, opened her mouth and told her that the Hou Mansion and the Tao family originally had a certain identity gap, but at least they were still the same class. But now that the Tao family is completely declining, it is good that the people of the Hou Mansion have not fallen into the well.

Twelve Niang gradually emptied her mind, because Mrs. Hou was too good to say, she would not let her go for half an hour, and she practiced a skill for a long time: the left ear goes in and the right ear goes out.

For Mrs. Hou's reluctance to let her contact the Tao family, Twelve Niang didn't care at all, because she knew that several people in the Tao family's big house were more upright.

Even the women of the Tao family require them to have the style of literati, in fact, the Tao family is not very willing to contact the people of the Hou Mansion, and the Tao family does not like to cling to the powerful.

Twelve Niang didn't worry that the people in the Tao family's big house would want to occupy the light of the Hou Mansion, but she didn't dare to speak out, otherwise it would be more numbers and criticism.

But when she really met the other party and stayed away, she still felt a little sad in her heart, she and them were already passers-by.

Of course, for the lessons of her mother, Mrs. Hou, Twelve Niang was not too angry, and she has seen a lot and a lot over the years.

I once met a friend who was once more close to each other and disappeared overnight, that is, someone from their elders had an accident.

After the fall of their own family, some people choose to ask for help everywhere, of course, they want their family to be safe and sound, and they are running around.

It's just that most people simply don't have the possibility of receiving any useful help, and no one will easily intercede.

In this era when the king calls the ministers to die and the ministers have to die, the pleas of the ministers are sometimes counterproductive.

Generally, calling for help has no effect, and most of them have no chance of saving.

What's more, no one dares to intercede, you must know that when the Son of Heaven is angry, there are millions of floating corpses.

Plea for mercy will lead to not only not being able to save people, but also hitching up their own homes.

There is no such strong order in the court, they are all smart people.

Twelve Niang later found that there was no news of the disappeared friends.

Later, I learned that some of those who had no news had died.

There are also some people who are still alive but are reluctant to contact people from the original class.

Because they understand a harsh reality: there is a huge gap between them and their former friends.

The most frightening thing is that the gap between the two is getting wider and wider, and gradually there will be a gap that cannot be crossed at all.

The relationship between the two is no longer equal, and one party will fall to the bottom of society, erasing all the original good memories.

The daughter of the Tao family is probably not happy about this situation, and she is generally not very willing to contact the people of the Hou Mansion, at most she is giving a New Year's gift or something.

Twelve Niang was a little stunned by this, the gap between them was too big, and the Tao family was the most ordinary family, unless the man of the Tao family was promising.

I don't know how the sons of the Tao family are? Will there be a profit? I hope she can live well, Twelve Niang was distracted and coped with Mrs. Hou's lesson.

She knew that although Mrs. Hou's words were sometimes not listened to, she belonged to the kind that was really good for herself, and she also knew the importance of the family, which could be seen from the Tao family.

For example, now, those who think they are the daughters of the powerful don't really look at Ling Xiao very much, and Twelve Niang naturally sees that others look at Ling Xiao like a dirt bun.

Even with the introduction of her, the little lady of the Hou Mansion, few of the guests in the room took Ling Xiao to heart. makes Twelve Niang a little unhappy, as for being so dog-eyed and looking down on people?

Ling Xiao didn't care about other people's attitudes at all, his demeanor was very calm, he smiled slightly, and said, "Cousin, this is a gift from me to you." ”

Saying that, Ling Xiao smiled and handed over the carton in his hand, no matter what, he always had to give this person a gift, and this fan was more manageable.

"It's good that people are here, and they don't need any gifts at all." Twelve Niang said, although she said this, she was very happy in her heart, she cared about affection.

In addition, if she resolutely refuses to accept the box, it will embarrass Ling Xiao even more, and it will also make others criticize, wouldn't she be considered a rare gift.

When she took the carton, she felt very light, and she felt a little strange in her heart, why was it so light? Maybe it's just a silk fabric.

Twelve Niang didn't know what it was, and most of the gifts given by her peers during the gift were not too valuable.

As the so-called courtesy is light and affectionate, she didn't care too much about what was in it and wanted to put it away.

But her friends had other ideas, after all, they didn't see anything shabby in their bones.

Just now, Twelve Niang said: There is a cousin of the Tao family who is coming, and she is a cousin of the Hou Mansion, and she is here for the first time.

So she wanted to ask them not to be high when she saw the daughter of the Tao family.

When the people who came found out, they all smiled and agreed.

But they each have plans in their hearts, and they judge in their hearts that the Tao family is fighting the autumn wind.

followed by Twelve Niang and said that her cousin had some scars on her face, so don't expose other people's bottoms.

Some people think that Twelve Niang is very good, but there are also people who have other ideas and plans.

Those of them who valued the family made up their minds, and they weren't prepared to say hello at all.

If the Tao family girl posted it, they would be perfunctory, and it would be very good not to give the Tao family girl a horse.

Although there are still people who are mixed in this circle, it is because of the requirements of the family, and they have always been at odds with Twelve Niang in private.

I feel that Twelve Niang has always been pretending, but Twelve Niang looks very good, and the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are also very good.

makes them not very convinced in their hearts, they feel that Twelve Niang is a fake fairy, but she has always been kind and angry, which makes people feel that she is more generous.

How can this not make those who become foils very disgusted, this time it is simply polite, and Twelve Niang is a little concerned that Ling Xiao is a little curious about them.

I don't know why Twelve Niang is so good to the countrymen? As noble ladies, they generally don't have the opportunity to get in touch with the outside world, so they naturally want to see what this person from the village looks like.

In their minds, the village girl is wrinkled, rough and black, even more uneducated, unable to read, and there is nothing to care about at all.

When they saw Ling Xiao, they found out too late that people in the countryside also had a good temperament, and the temperament was not necessarily shown because they looked good or were dressed very well.

In fact, everyone didn't see these external situations at all, because the other party had a mask on his face, so he couldn't see what it looked like, and he wasn't wearing silk.

But there is an indescribable feeling in her body, which makes her very different from others, this point is to see as long as she has eyes, this is really from the countryside?

Some people are jealous when they see it, why are Twelve Niang good everywhere, even the cousins in the countryside look extraordinary, not like a village girl in the countryside.

The little hooves of Twelve Niang must have known about it a long time ago, so she deliberately invited her so-called cousins to come over and deliberately said it to them in advance.

After thinking about it clearly, they were a little unconvinced, and they wanted to test Ling Xiao and smear the twelve mothers of the fake fairy.

So they decided to see what this cousin was sending? The countryside is the countryside, and there is a lack of things.

Someone joked: "Twelve Niang, can you show us what kind of good thing this is?" ”

"Thousands of miles to send goose feathers, the gift is light and affectionate, and I like everything my cousin gives."

Twelve Niang smiled and said that she didn't want everyone to see what was here.

There wasn't anything good in the box she wanted to come to.

Because she knew that the Tao family did not have the identity of a family.

I heard that even a lot of land has been sold, and the property has shrunk greatly.

Then the cousin should not have much property for personal expenses.

Naturally, I won't give too expensive gifts, so I'll look at it later in order to prevent problems.

Naturally, her idea would not be agreed by those who wanted to see the excitement, and they looked at each other.

"Ouch! Good things are to be shared, and you should take them out for everyone to see. ”

While speaking, someone reached out and grabbed the box, and the first feeling was that it was fluttering, what could it be?

The man pouted slightly, isn't it just a handkerchief or something, and it is just ridiculous to make such a big box.

After she opened it and took a look, her mouth opened unconsciously wider, and her eyes widened all of a sudden, what kind of gift is this?

After blinking his eyes, he found that it was a fluffy cat, with round, big blue eyes, how could it be a cat?

She took a closer look and knew that it was embroidery, and she was a little surprised that many people saw it, and others also looked over, and at this time Twelve Niang had already seen it.

She didn't expect that the gift from her cousin was this, look good, she likes this fan very much, she reached out and picked up the fan first, Twelve Niang's eyes became very bright, you must know that this fan is relatively light in her hand.

This is the other person who also saw it and cheered, "There are cats on the other side, too." Twelve Niang turned the fan over, only to find that on the other side of the fan is also the cute cat, but on this side it is squinting and looks very lazy.

Everyone else is staring at this fan, because none of them have it, so it will be very precious, and at this time they all look like girls of normal age.

"Cousin, this fan is so beautiful." Twelve Niang said that there was a little more real joy in her words, because the gift made her like it too much.

She looked at Ling Xiao with a little apology just now, her life should have changed dramatically, but now she is really happy.

Of course, there is still a little jealousy in her heart, she has always been able to live her life very well, which she is not as good as her.

The other little ladies all stared at the fan, wishing that this fan was their gift now.

And Twelve Niang wanted to laugh and cry, she was so understanding no matter what.

Ay! Never mind! In the future, I will contact my cousin a few more times to help.

It's a pity that my cousin is disfigured, otherwise how could I marry someone with potential.

Ling Xiao felt that Twelve Niang's mood had changed somewhat.

She didn't know why she felt an unspeakable sense of regret for the original owner.

Ling Xiao didn't plan to ask any further, but waited for later.

In addition, she can see that Twelve Niang has a lot of friendship like plastic flowers.

There will be that kind of tear-down behavior between them, just because they want to do it, they will do it.

For Ling Xiao, this kind of life, which is full of falsehood and hypocrisy, can't stay at all, and wants to be pure.

Obviously, her idea will not be recognized by most people, so it is better to go their own way, Ling Xiao thought.

After reading the fan, the girls remembered that if only they had one, they wanted to ask where they had fallen from it.

Even Twelve Niang likes this fan, and thinks it will be good if she can buy it, but before Twelve Niang can speak, someone will take the lead, it is a little lady with a round face, she is the one who doesn't pay much attention to her life experience here, so she asked first: "Cousin, where did you buy this fan?" ”

The reason why I ask this is because female red, especially embroidery, can embroider to this extent is not driven out by ordinary embroiderers, it must be done by top-level embroiderers, and works like this kind of embroidery are rarely obtained. They would never think that Ling Xiao embroidered it himself, so naturally they bought it.

Seeing these little ladies, Ling Xiao felt that his chance to make a fortune had come. This time the fan sent to the Twelfth Niang, she also thought about it, you must know that the people who can participate in the Twelve Niang and the ceremony are all rich and noble people, and they have strong purchasing power, especially when rushing to buy.

If an ordinary pig is robbed by 10,000 people, its value will double in a short period of time and become a sought-after commodity.

Ling Xiao naturally wants more people to snap up her works, the situation is a little unstable, it is better to make money as soon as possible.

In the later stage, she may not be able to take out what she wants, so she will participate in the twelve mothers and send it out.

This can be regarded as a big advertisement, so that these little ladies can go and buy fans.

She didn't embroider much anyway, there were a total of ten different double-sided embroidered fans.

Now, after giving away one because of the time, there are only nine left.

She smiled slightly, and was about to speak, when another person walked in.
