Chapter 687 Ruth was slapped
"Yang Xuan, why don't you stay with Ruth? I think she seems to have been wronged." Ruth's face was turned sideways, and Yang Xuan could only see one side, but Tong Piaoyun clearly saw that there was someone on the other side of Ruth.
Red palm prints.
Looking at the condition, I guess it was a slap in the face this morning. When ordinary people watch Titanic, men like Ruth and women like Jack. But Tong Piaoyun is different from ordinary people. He just likes Ruth.
At that time, I still lamented for Ruth and complained about her injustice.
When he saw that Ruth had been wronged, Tong Piaoyun was very decisive. Under Yang Xuan's surprised eyes, he directly sent his man out, with a posture of not being as happy as everyone else.
Yang Xuan was not happy anymore. Apart from her good looks and good figure, Ruth didn't seem to have anything in common with her. She kept discussing with him the art that Yang Xuan was not good at.
"Piaoyun, Ruth hasn't been looking at me right lately, why don't you accompany her." Yang Xuan began to communicate with Tong Piaoyun through air-to-air sound transmission.
"Shit, I'm going to find Jack. If you are bullied by Carl again, I will bully you." Tong Piaoyun said while transmitting the message while clenching her fist and waving twice towards Yang Xuan.
After a few words of internal force transmission, Yang Xuan could only hang his head helplessly. To be honest, he really wanted to slap himself in the face. On the first day, he clearly didn’t understand. He was pretending to be a big-tailed wolf. This time is good.
It made Ruth misunderstand that she knew art.
Forget it, yesterday I took Ruth to find Jack, but was discovered by Carl's bodyguard and slapped him. You know, Rose and Jack Yang Xuan also liked each other very much.
It's just that my uncle can tolerate it, but my aunt can't.
While she was weeping secretly for her future life, a warm palm touched the place where Karl had hit her. Ruth's eyes widened. It was the first time she discovered that a human's palm could be so soft, and...
..It’s quite warm.
Sometimes people can bear some things alone, even grievances, but when their ability to bear reaches the limit and someone happens to give them the greatest comfort, the deepest feelings will always burst out.
Ruth whined and hugged Yang Xuan. The two of them didn't do anything yesterday. Holding arms was just a way of communication among nobles. She didn't want to do it during breakfast.
Carl was furious, as if he had done something terrible.
I don't listen to my own explanation at all. I have had enough of this kind of life. Unfortunately, my family is already in debt. What should I do? I am young. If I were in the Empire where the sun never sets, I could rely on my relatives' connections to engage in some more respectable jobs.
work.
But my mother doesn't think so. In her opinion, aristocratic women should look like aristocratic women and should live according to the traditional aristocratic life. The same goes for marriage. How can she show up and work.
Yang Xuan took Ruth to a relatively quiet deck. According to Taozi, nobles rarely come here on this deck. They are all ordinary people, and there are not many people, so this is the most suitable place for Yang Xuan to comfort Ruth.
place.
"Actually, Carl is pretty good. He's handsome, has a good figure, and he's young and rich. What is it that you don't like? Is it because you don't like his temper or his personality? Why don't you call me?"
They found a lounge chair and sat down, looking at the ocean and blowing the sea breeze. Even their anxious hearts would be soothed by the majestic scenery of the ocean.
Ruth sneered, "He? He's just a traditional aristocratic arrogant maniac. Yes, I admit that he is very good. His family is also very large and well-funded. It's not that I'm dissatisfied with him, I'm dissatisfied with the whole family."
I feel disappointed in the marriage of an aristocrat. How I wish I was not an aristocrat, but just a commoner."
Ruth let out a long sigh, and her eyes gradually became desperate. Once the ship docked in Mei Country, what awaited her would be a miserable lower body, unless she blended into their circle, but this was not in line with Ruth.
three views.
"Hahaha, is it too naive to be a commoner? I understand that what you can't get will always cause turmoil. Do you know how many people are trying to become a noble?"
Yang Xuan understands this mentality, and it is probably related to the environment in which Ruth grew up. According to the class system of the Empire on which the sun never sets, almost 99% of civilians want to become nobles. When they encounter difficulties in life, they will even complain, why am I born
Not an aristocrat.
But as noble gentlemen, when they are under pressure or in difficulty, almost 100% of them will not say, I want to be a commoner. In the early 19th century, it was impossible to be so deviant.
idea.
Gradually, Yang Xuan looked strange at Ruth's face, "You nobles are in the same circle. What's wrong with blending in? We Chinese people have an old saying, if you are of the same family, this is not nonsense. It is definitely based on experience."
I took the tea from the Terminator and gave a cup to Ruth. I don’t know where I drove it, but the weather started to get cold.
"Thank you." After taking a sip of tea, Ruth began to describe a more realistic aristocratic circle in which the sun never sets.
It turns out that there is a church near Ruth's home, and there is a missionary who has been in China for decades. Because her father died young, her mother, in addition to teaching her the etiquette of the nobility, socializes outside every day, so Ruth often
Go to church.
After a long time, the old missionary and Ruth became close friends. From the missionary's mouth, Ruth learned that there was a huge empire in the far east, and the missionary not only instilled in Ruth
The half-baked Confucianism has also instilled in Chinese women the concept of being devoted to men.
For a girl who is like a blank slate, it is extremely difficult to integrate a foreign culture with the culture of her own country. After all, this is still a time when three views have not been formed.
As Ruth talked more, Yang Xuan gradually understood why Ruth was disappointed and refused to accept this marriage.
It turns out that the marriage of aristocrats, where the sun never sets, is different from the marriage of common people. What is different is that the core is different, according to the conventions of aristocrats.
In fact, whether it is romance or love, it only happens after marriage. Once married, especially after giving birth to children, as long as they are not so attracted to each other, even if they live under the same roof, the aristocratic couple will be the same.
Strange road.
In other words, most aristocratic couples only meet occasionally for breakfast, and most of the other time they live according to their own schedules.
This kind of concept is very uncomfortable for Ruth, who has accepted traditional Chinese ideas since she was a child. As Ruth grows up, although she seems to be almost a normal aristocratic lady in the circle, in fact it is extremely painful. Daily entertainment, afternoon tea
