"Mom, if you have something to say, just say it. Don't hesitate to say it!"
"Ai, it's alright. There's a long way to go in the capital. When we get there, mother will teach you some manners. Look at you. You're so disrespectful to the old prince. If you were in the capital, you'd be beheaded." When she thought about how Dongfang Ning didn't seem to love anyone, her face had already turned pale with worry.
Since she was young, she had never thought that this child would return to the capital and be faced with such a situation, so she didn't teach her any etiquette. Who knew that in just one night, not only had she changed, she was also about to enter the capital, and most importantly, she had also met an old prince of Shan Guo. What she didn't know was not only Shan Guo, but even Shan Guo's most precious Battle Prince was someone she knew, and they couldn't tolerate each other …
"Etiquette? "Alright." Dongfang Ning was speechless. Wasn't etiquette supposed to be saluted by his superior, or a friendly handshake from someone he was familiar with? What was there to learn about these things?
"..." He hadn't been able to accomplish this in the past two days. Should he give the old prince a hug later to make up for it?
She also knew that the ancient etiquette was different from the old days. However, the things she learned were mainly military, so she had never really come into contact with other things.
"Intellectual brain, find me information on ancient human etiquette."
"It only took 25 seconds. The intellectual brain couldn't find the relevant information. Not good, there's actually something the intellectual brain doesn't know. Professor, you're lagging behind and asking for an upgrade …" The electronic voice grumbled in her head.
"..."
Was this some profound knowledge?
Eldest Uncle, Auntie, Huwa Ge is also going to rush to the capital to take the exam. Just keep him company, and Niu Hua will also be studying in the capital. If your family can live well, when Third Uncle has someone he loves, and married back, our Fang family will be settled in the capital.
"..."
"This girl …" Her words had already settled everything, but her Third Uncle's face was completely red. A younger generation had arranged their marriage …
Grandfather will stay here for now. After we earn some money, we'll come back to buy a house and bring Grandfather back to be buried …
"Shouldn't we go home and take a look?" Mistress Yang thought of the seventeen taels of silver she had hidden underground. She initially wanted to take it with her when she came out yesterday, but she was afraid that if she ran out of money in the future, she would have more. Who knew that after leaving, even a single person from the village would die. And now, they still had to go to such a faraway place? It was likely that they wouldn't be able to return.
She didn't dare to say it out loud because she was afraid that the Fang family would chase her away after they found out. Now, she could only follow her son. Fang Tianzheng had been cold to her the past few days, and she was afraid of being abandoned.
"Mother, we're not going back. I heard that the soldiers have already sealed the mountain and no one is allowed in!" Fang An and Fang Hu immediately stopped her.
"If you have something important to take, I can go back once. We will be leaving for the capital in two hours. However, if you have money and property, I can give you a gold mountain."
Dongfang Ning looked at the Yang family, and said lightly.
Dongfang Ning unintentionally said out the Yang family's thoughts. She couldn't help but shrink back. Why was this girl so good at speaking?
"Ning, son, you have to be polite when you speak to your elders. You have to address them as auntie first and treat them with respect …"
Wang Shi couldn't bear to see her daughter like this in the mountains. If she was still the same in the capital, then it would be a fatal disaster at any time.
"Little sister, it's fine. Ning is just being straightforward. Where did all these rules come from?"
The Yang family hurried to help her.
"Auntie is one of us, don't bother about her. Hurry up and greet her and apologize!"
"…"
"Second Aunt, don't be angry. Little Sister Ning is still young, don't bring up this matter anymore. How can you change your personality so easily? You should slowly change it in the future!"
"Tiger child, don't get used to her. You're entering the capital now. If you were to meet any noble or powerful people in the capital, it would bring about a fatal disaster. From today onwards, it must be changed!" All of you must change as well! "
Mrs Wang was truly worried …
She thought back to those years ago, when some poor people or girls would be caned because of a single faux pas. Some people with precious statuses would also be severely punished or retaliated against for speaking rudely.
This was a secret that she couldn't explain right now. However, looking at the current situation, the future development of the family wasn't something she could stop. Thus, she had to strictly demand that her daughter learn how to be courteous at court.
On the other hand, Lady Wang was very worried, and a certain woman didn't think that she was wrong in any way:
"Mother, what's wrong with me? Where is the wrong place? Where is the wrong place? You have to say it!"
"Ning, son, you'll be in your prime next year. This year, you have to properly learn about women's virtues from your mother, Female Commandment!" Lady Wang looked worriedly at Dongfang Ning. How could this be good!
"Alright, mother, you can do as you say …" He turned around and was about to leave.
"Halt!" Lady Wang's eyes reddened, and she assumed the posture of a mother Yan, "Did you grow up to not want your mother?" Mother, you're not even going to listen to mother's words? "
"…" Dongfang Ning was speechless. He could only stand there and wait for her to speak.
No matter whether the elders are right or wrong, you must listen to them before you can reply. If the elders tell you to retreat, you can leave, but before you leave, you must pay your respects to leave, and if you come from a high official's house, you must kneel down to rest …
Say, that woman, who's like you? "Ignorant of his elders?"
"…" Dongfang Ning felt a headache coming on. Where did all these rules come from? Did they even have human rights?
"Little sister Wang, where did all this etiquette come from? I've never heard of it before!" Lady Yang panicked. She didn't know where née Wang came from, nor did she know where née Wang's family was from. All she knew was that she didn't talk much, but her words seemed to make a lot of sense.
"These are just basic etiquette, you all have to learn it. And eldest brother, third brother, Niu Wa, Hu Wushu, all of you have to learn it. Otherwise, if you go to the capital, you will be in trouble everywhere." Mrs Wang was no longer silent. Going to the capital was not like going to the mountains. A single disrespect would lead to others secretly harming her.
She brought out the imposing aura that she had learned from a young age and slowly began her tutorial on everyone in the room.
"As a person, the first thing you have to do is pay your respects."
"Kneel down, bow down, bow down, bow down …"
"Stop, stop stop stop stop, I have something to do. I'll be leaving first. I'll teach you on the road, Mother!" She hurriedly slipped away.
"This damned girl!"
"…"
"Second Aunt, Mister taught us how to learn the etiquette. If a person doesn't learn the etiquette, then I will slowly teach them in the future. Rest assured."
Fang An hurriedly went to rescue her. His little sister had really changed a lot. When did she change?
But turning into such a Fang Ning was much more lovable.
"Sigh, Tiger kid, hurry up and teach. Teach Niu Wa well, your mom, your dad, and the others. This capital city is a place to eat people …" Mrs Wang began to give everyone a high status in Coptic Capital City. In those circles, etiquette was essential.
"..."
