Volume 8 Flap your wings! 162 Lend Me a Handsome Guy 02
Dancing on the tip of the knife, see what this says...... Xu Zheng turned his head to look at Arisio, and saw that he nodded sympathetically with what Nina said, and subconsciously asked: "No, right?" Although I don't like that kind of party very much, it doesn't seem to be as terrible as you say, at most it is dull and boring, which makes people want to doze off. ”
"Isn't it scary?" Arisio sneered, "and when you put it there like an exhibit for others to judge, you will know how terrible it is! In such a party, your every move, even a wrinkle in your clothes, is the talk of the long-tongued women, and of course, there are many long-tongued men. Telling everyone they see is the primordial motivation for their lives. ”
After imagining it roughly, Xu Zheng couldn't help but be speechless: "How tiring it is to live like this......"
Arisio said disdainfully, "They don't think so. ”
Nina said: "Being watched by them with judgment-like eyes, hearing all kinds of gossip in their ears, they can only stand up quietly and put on an unmoved expression, which is really tired." After speaking, he held his chin with one hand and said, "Especially people like us." Pointing at Arisio, and then at himself: "He used to be a little-known person, but I am a 'big' person who is famous in Madagarh, and I have provided everyone with enough talking points." Hey, look, Jeari's son is here! You know, he only scored 28 points in the last exam! Wahaha! Twenty-eight points! Wow! See, the beauty of the Zama family is here! Tut-tut, she probably won't be able to put my skirt 30 centimeters wider. No wonder there are so many poor people in Madagarh, and with her, there is a shortage of food. Nina spoke in a shrill voice as the nobles' children spoke, with an annoyed expression.
Arisio patted Niva on the shoulder. said to Xu Zheng: "You don't understand the mentality of those people, and you don't understand the style of the nobles who always compare themselves with each other. Family background, status, dress, conversation, education, appearance. Whatever can be compared, they will be compared. From the deeds of a grandfather who has been dead for hundreds of years, to a crack in the nails on your little finger. ”
Nina said, "Especially the two of us. Just imagine, a stupid guy who doesn't do anything. And what better way to stand out than to hit him? And I, with my figure, it is easy to make myself pretty! Just stand in front of me and compare myself with me! I used to be pretty when I was not fat, and they have always been dissatisfied. Now it's good that I'm finally fat as a ball, how can they not beat the water dogs?"
Xu Zheng began to twitch his eyelids. He could already imagine the embarrassment and shame of Arizio or Nina standing in the middle of the room and being pointed at. What's going on with these people? Sympathizing with the weak is the instinctive reaction of a kind-hearted person, right? Why is it all reversed?
Nina groaned, "I really want to disappear and not go to my birthday party." But I can't do it if I don't go......"
"Why?" Xu Zheng asked. In his opinion, instead of torturing himself on that occasion, it is better to flash people quickly. Find a few friends you can talk to. Drink a little wine, laugh and scold each other without malice, and feel the kind of friendship that blends together. That's what a birthday should be.
Arisio replied, "No why. Aristocracy should have the dignity of nobility, maybe they forgot, but we haven't forgotten. Even if we are humiliated again, we still have to stand tall and stand in the middle of the field to defend the dignity of our fathers and our own dignity. This time of year is actually more like the season of battle for us. ”
Nina sighed and said, "Yes." I wish I had died soon. But I can't leave my father there alone. So no matter how painful and uncomfortable I am, I still have to stand in front of my father. I can let others laugh at me for being a fat woman who can't get married, but I can't let them say that my father has no way to teach his daughter, and no matter what, I can only bite the bullet. ”
Arisio nodded: "Every year I do the same. Our family is not a nobleman, but because of the Chamber of Commerce, we will be invited to anything from the nobles, and I will invite them to do the same. And there are many such things in a year, for Nina and me, it is simply a disaster, the darkest moment in our lives. ”
Nina said with affection: "It is because of this that Ali and I will be very good and sympathize with each other." Looking up at Arisio, his eyes showed some envy and appreciation: "Ali is getting better and better now, and the more he lives, the more he looks! When it comes to the little Ali of the Penoch family, who dares not to raise his thumb in Madagarh now? But the Nina of the Zama family is still the same Nina, her weight has not lost but has increased, and her face is becoming more and more like an oversized brioche bread. Everybody was waiting to see my jokes, to see if I could find a man to marry, or what kind of man I would eventually marry. I think even if I marry a boar one day, they'll have to compromise it. ”
"Nina......" Arisio looked at her.
Nina waved her hand and smiled generously at Arisio: "Don't worry, I won't be jealous of you, and I won't look down on you like that person, and I can't wait to pull you down and step on you a few times." Ali, I am your most loyal friend, the better you are, the happier I will be, and your glory is also my pride. Just looking back at myself, I ...... Headache. ”
"What's your headache?" Xu Zheng asked.
Nina spread herself out on the chair and counted on her fingers: "I have too many headaches! What should I wear, what should I say, what should I do, etc., it is all trouble." Maybe you won't believe it, I'm not even thinking about what jewelry to wear now, I'm not like other girls, just pick two things can set off her beauty very well. If you wear it right, it won't look more beautiful, but it's just appropriate, and if you don't wear it right, it will become a cash cow for walking. I wore it too simply, and I would lose the face of the Zama family, and I would wear it too luxuriously, and I would look like a nouveau riche mistress rather than a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl. Should I wear diamonds, or pearls, or silver or gold?"
Sauron shook his head when he heard this, his eyes widening and widening, and he muttered in a low voice, "Terran women are really troublesome...... I don't have to put anything on my people. He actually thought it would be nice for Nina not to wear it, because the flesh on her body looked white and tender, not ...... It is estimated to be delicious, and the bite is full of fat and oil, and the taste is good.
Nina was still saying: "What's even more terrifying is that the skirts sewn in all the tailor shops in Madagata now, as long as the appearance is a little more popular, I don't have any of them to wear!" Seeing Xu Zheng looking at herself, Nina said angrily: "Don't stare at me, the skirt I am wearing now is tailor-made for me by the tailors at home, they have worked very hard, but they can only achieve this level." They can't be blamed for this, if they want to put me in the cloth, they can't do it without a little brain. I'm honestly grateful to them, at least they packed me in my clothes and didn't let me run around naked. Don't you notice that the clothes I'm wearing are so much worse than the other girls? It's not that I can't afford to wear those fashionable and beautiful clothes, it's that I can't fit them in at all!"
Xu Zheng was embarrassed, he really didn't pay attention to what Nina was wearing. Who would have noticed these details? He himself usually dangled around in a simple cloth robe, or he would have grabbed a trainee mage's robe or a warrior's robe and put it on his body. Looking at his pitiful clothes, the only ones that were better were all sewn for him by Lucina, and the others were all indiscriminate.
"And the most terrible thing. ”
"Huh?" Xu Zheng asked, thinking that this was troublesome enough.
Nina rubbed her forehead painfully and tiredly, and said, "Yes, it's the problem of the male partner." ”
Oh, this Xu Zheng knows. The customs of Aris are somewhat similar to those of medieval Europe, where people attending banquets are men and women traveling together, and it is considered impolite to go without a male or female companion. If you can't find a male or female companion to accompany you, you are considered incompetent, which is equivalent to some kind of failure. In special cases, single men and women are present, which is generally a sign of courtship.
Seeing the look of understanding on Xu Zheng's face, Nina straddled her face and said: "When everyone is laughing at me for not being able to find a male partner for my size, isn't it a bigger joke for me to appear single?" This is like a clear signal that Nina of the Zama family is in a hurry to marry herself off and let others bid at will!"
Xu Zheng hesitated for a moment and asked, "I think...... Belch...... Your father must have wanted to find you a boyfriend, right?"
Nina nodded: "He has, but I don't." Then he explained: "Because after so many banquets, I have a real understanding that no one really wants to be my boyfriend." Some of them laughed at me, some avoided me, some came for my family's property, and none of them really liked me. Such a boyfriend, would you want?"
Xu Zheng shook his head and put himself in Nina's place to think, it is estimated that he is not as tolerant and kind as Nina. Waiting for someone to say a long word, kicking his nose in the face at himself? This is not Xu Zheng's inner grid, he will either slap them directly into a pig's head, or raise his leg to make him cut off his children and grandchildren, in short, he will definitely not be polite!
Nina raised her fat face slightly, with a look of longing, and said, "Yes, I'm not beautiful, and I'm so fat that I'm out of shape." But I still hope that someone can love me, love me, and tolerate me. He doesn't care what I look like, he doesn't care how much money I have at home, he just really likes me, likes the real Nina under this fat body, and I'm satisfied. As long as there is such a man, even if he is so poor that he is not good, no matter how bad his background is, I will not marry! I not only want to marry, but I must also truly love him and be really good to him, because he is willing to be good to me, and this is enough. ”
Everyone was moved by these words, and Arisio looked at her intently, his face flushed strangely.
