The Protagonist’s Halo - Chapter 115
After three months-
After Xiao Han realized that he had received a little too much attention. Elder Han taught her a month of basic sword surgery, and left a lot of schoolwork, but Xiao Han attributed these to Madam Xiao’s face.
She didn’t mind anything. There was food and drink here, and she was able to live freely. As for the schoolwork, it was nothing to Xiao Han. Mrs. Xiao never restrained her, only letting Liaolan accompany her to ensure safety.
Xiao Han has also been to the stockade down the mountain, because she is proficient in Nanyue, and no one recognizes her as a Daxia. Because of her young age, Xiao Han’s people are like a fish in the water.
In the cottage, slang and Han live together, and the folk customs are simple, but they all seem to respect Mrs. Xiao, who is on the top of the mountain, and they are very respectful in their words.
Xiao Han was also taken aback. He only knew that Mrs. Xiao was well-informed, the business at home, the dressing was simple, and the food was sloppy. He didn’t want Mrs. Xiao to be a South Vietnamese nobleman, and all her family’s territories were nearby. The relationship between Shanmin and her is like the feudal king of Daxia and the tenant tenants of the fief.
However, the better thing about Nanyue than Daxia is that there is no custom of women’s foot binding. Even the prince from the Central Plains orthodox royal family who established the Nanyue regime has never ordered women’s feet to be bound. This shows that this custom is not since ancient times. , I don’t know why it became deeply ingrained in Daxia, which has only gone through four generations.
Even when Xiao Han was in Liangzhou, some of the women of the official, **** and noble family who happened to meet were all ‘slender lotus steps’ like the princess Zhaohua, weak Liu Fufeng, and wearing a veil to cover their appearance.
Thinking of this, Xiao Han didn’t even want to return to Daxia.
Let’s wait a few years, Xiao Han thought very casually, anyway, her parents and family members in this life are precious, and she shouldn’t need to worry about it. There are no so-called plot tasks in this world, and Xiao Han will just do it by herself. .
Waves and waves, when Elder Han came for the second time, Xiao Han was already able to easily take over his twenty moves.
Elder Han did not have soft hands because she was a child under five years old. Although it was not fatal, she had a provocative mentality. Every stroke was to adjust Xiao Han’s swordsmanship mistakes, or to train her reflexes and reflexes. Agility.
Xiao Han also knew that this was good for her. For example, now she is facing the average Xiao Xiao with a wooden sword, and she can also protect herself.
Since she had concealed the identity of Princess Daxia, she should be prepared to be alone without any halo.
No one would protect her, even if she was just a child, besides relying on her cleverness, wouldn’t it be simpler and rude if she could directly solve the enemy.
Before Elder Han was too late to bend over, Xiao Han stabbed him in the waist.
Elder Han’s stone-like face showed a smile for an unprecedented time, “I thought it was a delicate female doll, but I didn’t expect it to be a wolf cub.”
Xiao Han didn’t like his description, what kind of wolf cub, she obviously used the wisdom of physical disadvantages as her advantage, plus the use of true energy to attach to the wooden sword, to make up for the lack of strength, and it was no worse than an adult.
Fortunately, it was an unshaven wooden sword, otherwise Elder Han would be injured.
She hadn’t learned swordsmanship with a beginner’s mentality and physical abilities for a long, long time. She started from the basics, stabbing and cutting one by one, feeling that she had practiced again in her mood.
The sword skills taught by Elder Han are not so fancy, focusing on practicality and attack, which indeed has merit.
Judging from Elder Han’s skill, this world belongs to the low martial level. When Xiao Han’s innate strength is complete, he won’t have to worry about any opponents he will encounter in the future.
…
Elder Han drank a bowl of tea, put down the tea bowl, and said to Madam Xiao, “Did you think about it?”
His tone was very calm, as if there were no surprises.
Madam Xiao gave a faint smile and nodded.
Now that she has decided to adopt this child, she must be given an identity formally, and she must not be allowed to bear a name of unknown origin. Even the maid Liao Lan, who proposed at the beginning, would not have thought that Madam Xiao would be so solemn.
In the final analysis, it was because Mrs. Xiao’s identity in Nanyue was extraordinary.
Although Nanyue is an orthodox regime established by the Han people in the Central Plains, after a century, many systems have been adapted to local conditions, whether it is for integration or governance and education. For example, in Nanyue today, royal power and military power, as well as the elders, restrict each other.
Behind the group of elders are the four major families of South Vietnam, the Xiao family, the Gao family, the Han family, and the Shang family.
And Mrs. Xiao’s Xiao surname is her family name, and her deceased husband’s surname is Gao, but unfortunately, the two big families have withered in this generation, and they have died out tragically.
Mrs. Xiao and her husband had never had children, so after losing her husband, she only took a maid here to cleanse her husband in order to avoid the noise and annoyance. The Gao family regarded her as his mother, and the Xiao family respected her as the head of the family, begging her to choose a suitable child from the clan as the heir as soon as possible, or to remarry and have children.
Mrs. Xiao was impatient, she was pure and quiet.
If at this time, Mrs. Xiao suddenly adopted a female doll and gave her own surname, it would also affect the inheritance of Xiao and Gao. In South Vietnam, women’s status is not low, and they also have inheritance rights, otherwise Mrs. Xiao’s status will not matter.
Said that Mrs. Xiao didn’t think so much, but that’s not the case. Just because of her calm temperament, she didn’t want to be so long-term at all. She just liked the child, and consciously got along well with her, and didn’t want to send her to an ordinary mountain family to raise her. I want to stay by my side, not to let her be unclear, but to give her an authentic South Vietnamese identity.
Madam Xiao smiled and said, “Just put it under my name, Xiao Lingyue.”
Elder Han first served as Xiao Han’s teacher, so he knew Mrs. Xiao’s plan, otherwise, how could he specially spend time as a teacher for a child, teach her self-defense swordsmanship, and teach her civil and martial arts.
Mrs. Xiao has a close relationship with him, and he is willing to add some help to what she wants to do. With him as a teacher, the Xiao family and the Gao family will not hinder Mrs. Xiao from adopting this female doll too much.
However, after teaching Xiao Han for more than half a year, he really wanted to be the teacher of this female doll. He even started to approve of Madam Xiao’s idea, in terms of aptitude and character, he has not seen anyone better than this child.
It is said that Daxia women are weak and weak, and have different education from men, but this female doll is different. Not only does the swordsmanship improve rapidly, but he also learns the many heavy tasks left behind, and every exam is impeccable. It seems to be having fun on weekdays, but he has never lost his focus on business, nor has he been tempted by foreign objects to indulge.
Elder Han considered more far-reaching, thinking that Mrs. Xiao left the child and cultivated the future to be beneficial and harmless.
After thinking so much, what I care most about is the origin of Xiao Han’s identity. Anyway, she can’t find her parents and family.
Someone from Daxia is only five years old, and when they are mature, they will be their children from South Vietnam.
…
When Xiao Han learned about this, it was already a year later, and was taken down the mountain by Mrs. Xiao, and said that he was going back to her family in a carriage.
Then Xiao Han discovered that she still underestimated Mrs. Xiao’s identity and her family heritage. She knew that Madam Xiao was not an ordinary nobleman, but the head of the four major families in South Vietnam. The family’s residence was not a mansion, but a magnificent mountain city.
The mountain city is located at the confluence of rivers. It faces the water on three sides. The majestic mountains stand upright and are built according to the mountain. It symbolizes the dominance of this vast area. The two roads of water and land are inexhaustible. The momentum of business and trade is prosperous and magnificent. For the rich, she later learned that the Xiao family is the place where Nanyue gathers wealth.
Entering the city, the layout of the buildings is staggered, orderly, and the pavilions are magnificent, mainly composed of wood and stone, and they are majestic and majestic.
Compared with the exquisite elegance of the Princess Mansion of Daxia Kingdom, each has its own advantages.
Xiao Han admired the scenery of Nanyue Mountain City with great interest.
The people I met along the way had great respect for Madam Xiao, and there were also many servants and maidservants. Sure enough, nobles everywhere enjoyed it, Xiao Han sighed.
As a result, this was a done deal, and Xiao Lingyue really became her identity in Nanyue.
Xiao Han couldn’t help wondering whether it was possible that she had behaved too smartly than an ordinary child.
Also, isn’t she a Daxia, why everyone seems to ignore this? Such a big family just included her in the genealogy so casually.
