She knew beforehand that the Eighteenth Mother would definitely arrive, but seeing her like this still made her eyes irritate.
It is clear that the Eighteenth Niang was also educated by a noble girl, so why does she dress like a nouveau riche?
Not only did she think so, the other ladies also forced their smiles and greeted the newcomers one after another.
"Eighteenth Niang, I just told you when you will arrive. I won't be able to greet you properly today." Twelfth Niang said with a somewhat genuine smile.
"Sister Twelve, today is your hairpin gift. I must be there. Here, this is my gift to you." He said and presented a gold hairpin.
The Twelve Niang looked at the glittering golden hairpin and didn't know what to say. Others thought the golden hairpin was a bit too tacky. The Twelfth Niang inhaled slightly and said, "Thank you."
She couldn't help but glance at Ling Xiao, and then smiled and asked her personal maid to accept the gold hairpin. To be honest, this gold hairpin is not light, and it can definitely be used as money if anything happens.
If someone else had given such a clumsy gold hairpin as a hairpin gift, others would have ridiculed it, but because they were eighteen mothers, they all ignored it and showed standard polite smiles.
This made Ling Xiao quickly discover that the Eighteenth Niang had a lot of background, otherwise those noble ladies would have been sarcastic and sarcastic. Even so, none of them were very willing to get acquainted with the Eighteenth Niang.
except Twelve Niangs.
Ling Xiao could feel that there was some truth in Twelfth Mother's smile, which made her feel that Twelfth Mother was still sincere, just like she was now. In addition, she noticed that Twelfth Mother looked at her just now?
This made Ling Xiao pay more attention to Shiba Niang.
The other noble girls' concealment abilities are not very strong, and they really cannot agree with the taste of the Eighteenth Niang. They are all in groups and are not very willing to have more contact with the Eighteenth Niang, but they will not offend the Eighteenth Niang.
I know that the grandmother of Shiba Niang is the eldest princess of Danyang, who is highly respected today.
The eldest princess is generally a more open-minded person and does not easily fall out with others. However, the eldest princess has a counterattack that no outsider can touch. That is her third son's two children. Once the eldest princess knows that someone is bullying them,
Ba Niang’s words will definitely not be spared.
After everyone has suffered several times, everyone thinks that the costumes of the Eighteenth Niang are very eye-catching, and they are very nouveau riche. They usually pretend not to see it and let an unlucky guy accompany the Eighteenth Niang. In many cases
Twelve Niangs will accompany her.
But this time the Twelve Niang is the protagonist, and there is no way she can accompany the Eighteen Niang. None of them are willing to accompany the Eighteen Niang. In their opinion, being with the Eighteen Niang would simply lower their own standards.
.
They soon discovered Twelve Niang's cousin, and they just let the country people take Eighteen Niangs with them. Anyway, none of them dared to have too much contact with Eighteen Niangs, lest they become like that.
They asked why the eldest princess was respected by the emperor, and then they found out that it was because of the eldest princess that Jin Shang was firmly on the throne of the emperor, and even the prince-in-law died for the emperor.
Nowadays, I still miss my old relationship. In addition, the eldest princess has always restrained her children and rarely finds things for the emperor to do. Naturally, the emperor respects her very much.
But I don’t know why, but the eldest princess’s children are all relatively mediocre. The only one who is smarter is still in poor health and will not live long.
That was the third son of the eldest princess. He lost his biological father when he was born, and his body was extremely weak because of a bad life in his mother's womb.
Princess Danyang felt extremely guilty, so she gave most of her affection to this child, and later she fell in love with Sanzi's children.
The eldest princess was too lazy to take care of the children born to her other children. Only the eighteen sisters and her brother were the third generation she loved most.
If outsiders don't know the reason, they won't be able to understand this situation. You must know that Shiba Niang is an ingenious one.
She dressed like a nouveau riche and liked bright gold, which made many people say she was too tacky.
Generally speaking, girls without haircuts don't need to wear so much jewelry, it's too much.
But I don’t know why Shiba Niang likes those gold jewelry and golden hair accessories.
There was even a gold necklace studded with gems hanging around her neck.
Because it is too dazzling, everything at first glance is golden.
Gold is a very unique color because it is extremely eye-catching.
It represents nobility, luxury, splendor, brightness and sparkle, and is loved by the royal family.
Wearing gold jewelry will make the wearer very wealthy and often become the center of attention.
But Shiba Niang is wearing such gold jewelry because she is still young and cannot hold too many gold jewelry.
Only then did she look like a nouveau riche, which made everyone look at her with a sense of disobedience.
In addition, Ling Xiao discovered that Shiba Niang likes to wear clothes with very strong colors. She should like to eat because she is chubby.
This makes her look like a nouveau riche, but it can be seen that her eyes are very clear and she is cuter than others.
Because of the preference of the eldest princess, the emperor paid more attention to the Eighteenth Niang. After every offering, the emperor would specially send good things.
The young ladies in the capital who thought they were superior to others didn't like this fat little man who was favored by the Holy Spirit. In their eyes, the eighteenth lady was just a good guy.
Most of them are better than her, know more than her, and are better at dressing up than her. They look down on her a little and don't want to be with her at all.
Just because she is the granddaughter of the eldest princess, all of them are inferior to her. The Eighteenth Niang has always been more favored by the emperor than most noble girls. This kind of thing makes other people angry.
After some secret comparison, they all looked down upon the Eighteenth Niang even more. They thought they were smarter than the Eighteenth Niang, but on the contrary, they were not as good as her in every way. This is definitely very annoying. Doesn't it mean that smart people are not as good as the Eighteenth Niang?
This is not smart.
They didn't know that the Eighteenth Niang was loved by the eldest princess because she was very stupid, and the emperor was more kind to the eldest princess because of her face. The little lady did not dare to offend the Eighteenth Niang, and some people were very disgusted.
She is a stupid person who has no idea of making friends at all.
But Twelve Niang never offends people very much, and even Eighteen Niang was the one who specially called her here, just to... Thinking of this, Twelve Niang glanced at Ling Xiao who was standing alone, maybe she would like it very much.
Eighteen Niang, after all, her ideas are very unique.
After the Eighteenth Niang handed over the golden hairpin, she saw the fan clearly, and her eyes lit up when she saw it. Wow! This round fan! She said very happily: "This fan is so beautiful."
She had other thoughts before she came in, but after seeing the fan, she immediately forgot her original thoughts and walked over to get it, wanting to see the fan clearly.
At this moment, Twelve Niang smiled and shook the fan a few times, and then said with a bit of excitement: "Eighteen Niang, do you think this round fan looks good? The embroidery is really good."
As she spoke, she pointed at Ling Xiao with her fan and said with a smile: "This is a hair extension gift from my cousin. This fan is my favorite hair extension gift."
Only then did Eighteen Niang notice Ling Xiao, and immediately remembered that she was originally looking for someone, but she didn't expect him to be here, so she said: "Hello, cousin."
Ling Xiao felt a little helpless after hearing this, with a dark look on her face. Is she her cousin? Does she have any special relationship with this eighteenth lady?
No! Then she thought about it, the Tao family had countless marriages during the marriage process, who knew what relatives were there?
If we really talk about it, maybe there is some relationship, so it is possible to call her cousin.
But it still felt a little too familiar, considering that she knew nothing about Eighteen Niang's situation.
Twelve Niang was a little helpless when she heard this. Eighteen Niang was impulsive and could not reason.
She said softly: "Cousin, this is the eighteenth mother, she is twelve years old now."
"It sounds like she has some relationship with the Hou Mansion, so she can be called cousin."
"Ba Niang, this is my cousin from the Tao family. She was born in the Tao family in Heyang."
Even though Heyang Tao Family is considered a thing of the past, it only came to an end in the past few years.
After hearing this, Eighteen Niang looked at Ling Xiao, her eyes bright, she was a bit straight-tempered.
But that doesn't mean she doesn't feel anything. She can feel that those smiling ladies are just perfunctory to her.
As for the person in front of her who was very unique at first glance, Shiba Niang could tell that her attitude towards everyone was the same.
He neither wants to come forward to flatter you, nor wants to step on her. To Shiba Niang, he is the best person.
Because everyone received the same treatment, at least this person would not scold her in his heart, but would smile and flatter her. This kind of person is the most annoying.
Eighteen Niang took a step forward, grabbed Ling Xiao's hand, and then said with a smile: "Sister Tao, this is our first meeting, please take good care of her in the future."
Ling Xiao looked at her and smiled slightly. Although her face was partially obscured, the smile was still very beautiful, and the Eighteenth Mother was stunned after seeing it.
Ling Xiao said softly: "Hello, Eighteenth Niang, you must come to my house as a guest if you have the opportunity in the future." "Yeah, I will definitely go." Eighteenth Niang nodded directly.
But at this moment, because it was almost time for the haircut ceremony, the maids asked the guests to go out one after another. Ling Xiao turned to Twelve Niangs and said: "You are going to hold the haircut ceremony soon, so you should change your clothes first."
The others walked out one after another, and the maid next to Twelve Niang also breathed a sigh of relief. Twelve Niang nodded, she was still so considerate, and said nothing.
She planned to wait until the hairpin ceremony was completed and then ask Ling Xiao where she bought the fan. But the Eighteenth Niang pulled Ling Xiao out with her, and Ling Xiao felt a little helpless.
Ling Xiao had some thoughts about the Eighteenth Niang's current make-up, but he had no intention of interfering. They didn't have such a deep friendship yet.
In addition, people in this world have different ideas. For example, some people like that kind of cockscomb hairstyle. This is also a normal idea and does not matter.
The parties concerned have not violated any laws and regulations at all. Generally, others have nothing to do with this kind of thing. This is a personal opinion.
However, Ling Xiao still felt that Eighteen Niang would be very tired wearing those jewelry, and thought for a moment that this was a shallow conversation, so she couldn't say anything.
After Eighteen Niang followed Ling Xiao out, she smiled and said, "Sister Tao, where is your home? Is it far away?"
Ling Xiao found that the Eighteenth Niang looked naive, but she actually had some troubles in her heart, otherwise she wouldn't have asked such a question.
In addition, instead of calling her cousin, she called her Tao sister, which showed that she knew what was going on.
After taking a look at Shiba Niang, I realized that the makeup was too thick and really not suitable for little girls.
What does Shiba Niang look like? Most people can’t see clearly.
The white powder applied is too much and too thick, and the face is too white.
What you apply will fall off, and this makeup is very eye-catching.
Most people don't even notice that Shiba Niang actually has a pretty good foundation.
This made Ling Xiao wonder whether she did this on purpose or if someone guided her to do it.
Ling Xiao didn't ask immediately. They just met each other once and didn't need to worry too much.
Although the identity of this person is not clearly introduced, it can be seen that the eighteenth mother has a certain social status.
Even if those arrogant little ladies don't like them very much, they still have to bow respectfully.
The Twelve Niang stood up to greet her, which showed that this person's status was not low. Ling Xiao said, "The Eighteen Niang will talk to you later."
The Eighteenth Niang smiled and nodded. She just didn't know why she felt at ease walking beside Ling Xiao. The Twelfth Niang smiled slightly after watching them walk away.
After waiting for the hairpin ceremony to begin, Ling Xiao discovered that the people in the Hou Mansion attached great importance to the Twelfth Mother's hairpin ceremony, and specially invited a highly respected old lady in the clan to be the guest of honor.
Likes, the supervisor is also an unmarried young lady from a wealthy family. The twelve mothers have been performing very well throughout the whole process, and many people know that the young lady of the Hou Mansion has grown up.
Ling Xiao did not stand in front, but stood aside and watched. Ba Niang was close to her, holding Ling Xiao's arm. Those who didn't know it thought that the two of them had a good relationship, and Ba Niang would secretly take a look at Ling Xiao.
.
She saw a small half mask on her face, and the exposed part looked like a hibiscus face. Her skin was very fair and delicate. Shiba Niang suddenly realized that this daughter of the Tao family looked familiar, and she became curious.
He kept staring at Ling Xiao.
Ling Xiao felt the curious gaze of the other party and didn't understand why the other party kept staring at him. After rubbing his face, he glanced at Shiba Niang and asked: "What? I have flowers on my face?"
The Eighteenth Mother was a little surprised and said, "You look a bit like the same person. You look very familiar to me. Where have I seen that person before?" She frowned and thought.
"..." Ling Xiao didn't say anything. She never thought that the Eighteenth Niang would see that this body looked similar to the Twelfth Niang's, and it was really strange.
Of course, Ling Xiao knew that the body of the original owner looked very similar to Twelve Niangs. In fact, their mothers looked very similar, and others often thought they were biological sisters.
She once wondered whether the two people were twins. They were separated for some reason after birth and were raised by two families separately. The biological sisters became cousins.
Later, she quickly gave up this idea, because neither the Hou family nor the Tao family could afford to raise their own children.
Naturally, they will not give up their children easily and insist on keeping the twins as one family. They are girls and generally will not be adopted.
In addition, Mrs. Hou of the Hou Mansion has a normal relationship with the original owner's mother, and they are not that familiar, and they don't even have much contact at all.
Otherwise, Ling Xiao had not been favored by Mrs. Hou for so long since he arrived in the capital, so he would not have thought of meeting her.
