5 signs that noble blood flows in your veins
Nobles have always been considered "special" people who have privileges in the form of land plots, a decent salary and power over the peasants. However, after the revolution, almost all representatives of the ancestral nobility lost their wealth, so their descendants do not even realize that they have noble roots.
In this article, we want to tell you about five signs that there were most likely nobles in your family. Let's check it out!
Pale skin and "blue" blood
In order to somehow feed their family, the peasants had to work in the field from morning to night and take care of the cattle. Due to regular exposure to the sun, their skin eventually darkened, became rough and dry.
The nobles avoided any dirty work and spent most of their time at balls and dinner parties. Therefore, their skin always remained pale. Hence the opinion that pale skin is a sign of aristocracy.
Nobles who had dark skin from birth, for the sake of matching other representatives of the class, were forced to go to extreme measures. They bleached the skin with flour or whitewash, which, by the way, often contained lead and sulema and were unsafe for health.
And what does the expression "blue blood" mean? It's simple! It turns out that the lighter the skin, the better the blue veins can be seen through it.
Thin long fingers
One of the favorite activities of the aristocrats was playing the piano. This musical instrument was necessarily present in every home, and from an early age children representing a noble family learned to play it.
Because of the constant playing of the piano, the fingers became longer and more elegant. The peasants working in the fields could not boast of the same: their fingers were short, and the skin on their hands was rough and dry. Therefore, it is believed that representatives of the noble family have "musical" fingers.
Straight posture
Since childhood, the nobles were taught to keep a beautiful posture and walk with their heads held high. This was especially true for girls: during etiquette lessons, they often had to walk around the hall for hours with a stack of books on their heads.
The peasants were often hunched over because of the constant work in the field. Therefore, it was believed that a straight posture was another distinctive feature of a representative of a noble family.
Small foot size
The noblewomen differed from the peasants in their small and neat feet. Does everyone remember the fairy tale about "Cinderella"? So, there were a lot of such "cinderellas" in the times of the nobility, but, as a rule, only among the representatives of the nobility.
All because the peasants were constantly on their feet: they never rode in carriages, unlike the nobles, and worked daily. From this, the feet became "trampled" and the size of the leg, respectively, increased.
Talkativeness
The ability to maintain a small conversation was mandatory among the nobles, so from childhood they read a lot of books, watched adults and attended special classes. You could show off your intelligence at a ball or a dinner party where all the cream of society gathered. Especially well-read and erudition was appreciated in girls. Then the grooms were demanding of the ladies, and beauty alone was not enough to win the heart of a man.
However, this skill has a reverse side of the coin: often overly talkative nobles could say something superfluous. Hence, numerous intrigues and scandals were born. In addition, talkativeness is good when in moderation — otherwise you can be considered ignorant and empty-mouthed.
Now think about whether you have any of these qualities? If so, it is quite possible that you had nobles in your family, and you should study the family tree more closely.
