The road from Africa to Europe

Chapter 914 Extravagant
Although I have known for a long time that the private life of a noble-born city lord will be very exciting, I have also heard of the extravagant living habits of the nobles, especially the confusion in the relationship between men and women.

But Ling Xiao, who is a straight girl, was shocked by the fact that the city lord flirted with other women without any scruples in front of his wife.Still so unscrupulous, he didn't consider his wife's face at all.

When seeing this scene, Ling Xiao's first reaction was to glance at the red-haired beauty sitting there, and a thought came to his mind: Isn't this too slapping his wife in the face?

Beloved wife?Are you sure this is your beloved wife?Totally wife abuse!The city lord's character design collapsed!Probably he didn't care about other people's opinions at all, which is why he was so unscrupulous.

Coming from a later life, she thinks that she is still well-informed, and even in the previous world, she has seen many men and women with the nature of Neptune, but at least ordinary people still care about each other's affection.

In fact, Ling Xiao has also traveled through ancient society, and naturally he has also seen the kind of dudes of aristocratic background. They are indeed not very loyal to their marriages. Don't dare to be so bold.

The general rules in society still have certain binding force. Even if those dudes are not taboo in many cases, they still have to pay attention to their position and place.

This is an issue that needs to be paid attention to during the continuation of the marriage. No matter what, you must give the other party some face. When you meet a more capable natal family, you will directly call the door and ask for an explanation.

A person who is not good may be punished by the family rules, and if he is not good, he will be severely beaten. In this case, it is generally necessary to maintain face and not be too unscrupulous.

How could they not be so arrogant in front of the public, at least there are a few of their pharmacists here, who belong to outsiders.So as a Neptune attribute, you have to restrain yourself.

Ling Xiao thought about the difference between the two. Maybe it was because the city lord held great power, and other people dared not express different opinions at all, so the city lord would be so indulgent.

Also, the rules and customs of this world are different. EMMMMMMM!It is very likely that completely different rules will evolve in different regions in the same era.

For example, in ancient China, women were very concerned about the chastity of women, and they often paid attention to consistency.If a woman cheats on her, she may end up in Shentang after being caught.Even if he didn't die, his reputation would almost be ruined.

An island country has the opposite custom: in order to stimulate population growth, no matter whether the women there are married (the husband is not at home) or unmarried, they cannot refuse a man who crawls at night (1).

Even in order to show the so-called fairness, the men who went to night climbing had to draw lots to determine which woman to spend the night with, vomit!Ling Xiao wanted to vomit after knowing this custom.

After all, not all women want to serve n men, let alone be a reproductive machine.What kind of weird custom is this?This kind of bullshit custom doesn't care about women's thoughts at all.

Even under this custom, even the woman's relatives can't stop the man from crawling at night, and women are still very welcome. Even if they are not willing to serve a certain man, men can use violence to suppress it, shit!

awful!It's really miserable in capitals!Women have been in this custom for hundreds of years. There will definitely be women who want to resist this custom, but because they are weak in physical strength and strength, and they are in such a big environment, the resistance fails. Women are not resigned to their fate. , is death, there is no other end.

This is the weakness of not having one's own strength, but only being attached to others. Because one does not have enough strength, one is often the first to be abandoned when a catastrophe strikes, and one's wishes are completely ignored.

Thinking of this, Ling Xiao feels inexplicably very lucky. The era he lived in advocated equality between men and women, allowing women to have the opportunity to study and even go out to work. Women have more choices, and women's self-reliance has greatly increased. It is a great progress.

Under this kind of education, she has established the Three Views, so she can't understand the actions and behaviors of the city lord. His various actions really don't take other people seriously, or is this a kind of temptation?After all, the purpose of refining the water of life is obvious, and there are follow-up things.

Ling Xiao became a little vigilant after thinking of this, he must pay attention to his attitude, no matter how annoying he is in his heart, don't show it directly.

But at this moment, she really hated this city lord, not only because of his Neptune traits, but also because of the possible temptation, if it came from a kind of temptation, it would be very conspiratorial.

Just by looking at what he did to his wife, he knew that he was ruthless. He knew that the red-haired woman was the wife of the city lord whom he loved very much. In the blink of an eye, he saw that the city lord had been surrounding the blonde beauty with a very affectionate attitude. But the wife completely put it aside, and simply didn't know what to ask outsiders to say.

The blond beauty is obviously used to the actions of men, and she is very relaxed and comfortable in the face of men's attentions, without any discomfort at all. She interacts with the city lord very frequently, and she is more like a hostess than a real hostess.

People who don't know think that these two are the real couple, although the difference in appearance between the two is too big, like a beauty and a beast, it doesn't seem very suitable.

But no one dared to say it. After all, in this era, as long as there are powerful people, there will naturally be beauties to accompany them. Even if the appearance of the two people is very different, heroes love beauties, and beauties love heroes. Isn’t it a good story?

It's just that there are too many beauties around the city lord, and Ling Xiao sympathizes with the real wife, the red-haired beauty, for a second. In this scene, she should be the saddest, being excluded by others, but she has to accept this reality.

Who made the women in this world completely incapable of controlling their own marriages, including women from noble backgrounds, they were also bargaining chips for family marriages, and they might even be protons.

No matter what class of women, no matter what the reason for marriage, it is not certain how they will live in the future. They repeat the life trajectory of their ancestors in marriage.

The best life they ever had was nothing more than being a high-ranking noble lady, but they basically lived as delicate canaries, living only in the comfort zone, and once they left the comfort zone, they would be doomed.

More women's lives are not as good as your lady's. They live at the bottom of the society and have been living to the last breath. They don't know what they live for, and they die quietly.

In Ling Xiao's view, whether it's the noble ladies who live like canaries, or the low-level women in rags, there may be differences in material, but more of the same in essence, they don't have their own ideals And direction, live in a muddle.

The blond beauty belongs to a different kind, with great ambition and desire in her body. If she didn't belong to the kind of high-ranking Tianlong people, Ling Xiao hoped that she could go further.

But obviously the other party is the kind of master who doesn't eat meat at all, Ling Xiao naturally doesn't have any hope, because what she wants is to restore the slavery of the Saint Laurent Kingdom, and the reason why the traffickers are so prosperous is largely because of Saint Laurent Kingdom exists.

Ling Xiao, who single-handedly turned down the human trafficker, knew this very well. Would he agree with the blonde beauty to restore the Kingdom of Saint Laurent?This is completely impossible, so Ling Xiao knew that she and her belonged to two opposite sides, so it was naturally impossible to support the blonde beauty.

Therefore, Ling Xiao supported the red-haired beauty even more at that moment, but found that her face was very calm, and she didn't feel uncomfortable or painful at all. Is it like this?
Ling Xiao didn't know what to say for a while, maybe she knew her fate a long time ago, so she would not let herself live too sadly, isn't this a kind of living wisdom?
That's right, the coquettish manipulation by the city lord has a high probability of making the red-haired beauty give up. Anyway, this wife's throne will not sit on the throne for a few years, so why bother because she is destined not to belong to her position?
EMMMMMMMM!Ling Xiao just substituted it, and felt that the so-called wife of the city lord was living a very depressed life. Who would want to be a good wife and be reduced to the position of a lover in a blink of an eye?Just thinking about it made me feel uncomfortable, so Ling Xiao soon understood.

The red-haired beauty in sight was sipping red wine with a somewhat careless expression. She felt that her position was unstable, but she had no intention of saving herself.

The other women on the side looked at it with a gloating attitude, and there was some schadenfreude in their words, but not too much. They were a little gloating, but they felt sympathetic, after all, they had all encountered this scene before.

The reason why they gloat over others' misfortunes is because they still hold one thing in their hearts: they were obviously high-ranking official wives before, but they suddenly become mistresses who depend on others. This is a complete humiliation.

Although the red-haired beauty as the wife of the wife has nothing to do with what happened to them, whoever made her the wife of the city lord is naturally disgusted by them, as long as women in that position are treated like this.

But he also knew that it wasn't the fault of the red-haired beauty, because he knew that they were all hard-working people, and they all ended up in the same fate.But these losers have to find someone to hate, otherwise how can they spend time in this city lord's mansion?
Is it possible to hate the city lord?Of course not!Because it will only harm themselves and their family if they are discovered, the wife of the city lord becomes the best target, and they are also afraid that this lady will always sit on the throne of the wife.

But what they never expected was that the most beautiful among them, the biggest rival in everyone's mind, soon met someone even more beautiful than her.

The city lord quickly moved on and fell in love with another beauty, which took much less time than them. The red-haired beauty was kicked out after half a year as his wife. Why not make them gloat?

But when they saw the situation of the red-haired beauty, they suddenly felt empathy. They also watched the city lord have a new love, and felt sympathetic for a while, so they had mixed feelings towards the red-haired beauty.

Seeing this scene, Ling Xiao felt very strange again, so at this moment, she didn't feel like she was in a different world at all, but more like she was on a certain movie set. Everyone participated in the play from the bottom of their hearts.

At the same time, Ling Xiao felt strange that the city lord did not consider the thoughts of bystanders at all when he did this. Shouldn't the field be cleared at this time?The less people see this kind of thing, the better, right?
But soon she woke up, uh!I get it, it's her who thinks highly of herself and other people's identities.In the eyes of the city lord, other people are not important, just passers-by.

As a member of passers-by A, B, C, D, it's just a background, yes!Just like a tree or a flower, it doesn't matter if there is one more or one less.

Of course, there is another reason: the nobles in this world don't care about the romantic reputation at all, but think it is very good. This has become a habit and custom that the nobles agree with, it should be such a view.

There is another possibility: as other bystanders, they generally dare not spread such a glamorous incident to the outside world. Spreading bad news within the control of the Tu Emperor is tantamount to reckless death.You can even test the reactions of a few pharmacists, and then you can formulate corresponding methods.

Thinking clearly, Ling Xiao stopped paying attention to the interaction between the city lord and the blond beauty at all, but turned his attention to the flowers. Anyway, she was not very willing to face the absurd and unruly scenes.

Of course, she was still thinking about what the blond beauty wanted to do here. Could it have something to do with this assessment?Be cautious about this, the last time I saw this blonde beauty, Ling Xiao didn't have a good impression.

The first encounter with the blond beauty caused a Mori tribe to fall apart, and the blond beauty should have left her original place of residence unscathed that time.

What will this encounter be like?Ling Xiao pondered the other party's behavior in his heart, anyway, as the opposite, he would not think anything good about the blonde beauty at all.

So what does the blonde want to do?Probably the most hope is to return to the country, right?Possibly even queen, eh!It is very possible, and Ling Xiao knows that it is not an easy task for the blond beauty to restore the country, and it requires a lot of people and property.

Why do you say that?Because if you want to restore the country, there will inevitably be some battles. It is impossible to bring dozens of people to restore the country, right?There must always be soldiers and horses dedicated to fighting under his command, and war is a gigantic gold-swallowing beast.

So let's make sure first, where did you get a large number of soldiers who can fight?Naturally, it was impossible to recruit troops in the original territories after the destruction of the Saint Laurent Kingdom, and they would not be willing to obey.

Wouldn't it be to borrow some soldiers?The reason why she thinks this way is because the blond beauty is ambitious. Even though she is flirting with the city lord now, would she be willing to be the wife of the city lord with a shelf life of only a few years?

Totally unlikely!Because she is not like the kind of woman who is willing to take such risks, and the followers around her will not let her just be the wife of the city lord.

What shady deal did she have with him?I don't know what this city lord wants to do. Ordinarily, he can't be the kind of dizzy man in Mary Su's novel, who would give up his garden for a woman?Not too possible!
But if the blond beauty has that kind of aura of lowering wisdom, maybe the city owner will lose his head, so Ling Xiao watched this scene with a bit of evil taste, right as a [-]D live-action movie, just watch it.

In addition to requiring a large number of people who can use it, it also requires a large amount of money investment. Does the blonde beauty have a steady stream of money around her?It's also unlikely, it's impossible to take gold and silver with you when you flee.

Even if the princess in distress escaped with a lot of treasures, some of them have been spent in the past so many years, and the second-hand market is impossible to give high prices. system!But this is impossible, no system has been detected.

So where does the money come from?Open source?Ling Xiao knew that there hadn't been any big merchants rising in these days, and he hadn't heard that the original big merchants had changed owners, so how did they open source?
There is another way: throttling. After thinking about it for a while, you will know that it is impossible. From the secret house of the Sen tribe, it can be seen that those people live a very particular life and refuse to lower their limit.

It can be said that even at that time, those poor nobles still live very richly, and it is impossible to treat themselves badly. The money spent in a year will only be more or less, so how do they make money?

For a while, he couldn't think of a way to make a lot of money, which had to make Ling Xiao think of the pharmacists hired by the city lord. It is said that the first two batches of pharmacists were not suitable, but later they didn't know where the two batches of pharmacists went.

no?Ling Xiao's heart skipped a beat, because the problem was getting worse. After reaching the S-level pharmacist, the price of the refined medicine began to become expensive, and it was often a luxury in medicine.Probably!Ling Xiao's breathing became short of breath.

No, I need to find an opportunity to contact the people in the association to find out where those pharmacists have gone. She doesn't want to be used as a tool to make money one day.

Thinking that he might be regarded as an old mother who laid golden eggs, Ling Xiao felt chills in his heart. What kind of thing is this?It was the fate of the original owner before, and Ling Xiao broke free, so it is naturally impossible to want to fall into it again.

She had an idea in her heart and never revealed it, and she didn't plan to tell the other two pharmacists directly, because if something happened, it might be suppressed by the city lord's mansion, and the lives of the two of them might be lost. Take action!
Afterwards, they were taken away with nothing to do, and they waited for the news on the third day that the raw materials had finally arrived, and asked the three pharmacists to start refining the eaux-de-vie.

The three of Ling Xiao got all the materials, but asked to refine the medicine in a hall, and even the city lord brought other people to watch. This request could not be refused.

Fortunately, Ling Xiao didn't use the method of cultivation, but the method of refining medicine in this world. He was not afraid of other people watching, but he also felt that his guess was a bit right.

In fact, speaking of it, the methods of refining medicines are all similar, but Ling Xiao's mental strength is strong, and she can put in raw materials at the most appropriate time, so that her medicines will be the best.

　(1) Crawling at night means that a man goes to another house to sleep with a woman. It may be the daughter of that family, or it may be a daughter-in-law or other woman. No matter how you look at it, all the women are prostitutes!I can't write too much, and I might be reported again, but after reading that custom, I only have one feeling, vomit!I really want to throw up.
