Jiapingguan Chronicle

Chapter 1905 Sea Chart 80.0
"Marrying the city lord's daughter?"

Shen Cha was stunned and turned to look at Shen Haolin. This was really in line with their guess about the time when the Luan family leader was in the Western Region.

"When I first heard about it, I was very surprised. I never expected that the lord of Ubi City would make such a decision."

"If I remember correctly, people in the Western Region seem to be quite averse to intermarriage with foreigners, right? Their religion is different from ours, and their living habits are also different from ours, so they shouldn't be able to live together."

Even the well-informed Mrs. Ning felt very surprised and unreasonable when she heard this.

"The old lady knows a lot about people from the Western Regions?"

"I don't know her very well, but I still know something about it. Hu Shang's wife came to my house as a guest before. I met her a few times and chatted with her a few times. Miss, madam, etc., no matter where she is from, It's the same. I like to talk about some strange things. I have never been to the Western Regions, but I am still very curious about the life there, so I asked about it." Mrs. Ning took a sip of tea and said, "They are over there, There are very strict hierarchical requirements for the selection of marriage partners, such as Dukes and Generals..." She looked at Shen Haolin and Shen Cha and said, "Those with hereditary titles cannot marry or marry. Civilians, not to mention foreigners, businessmen, even outsiders, side wives, etc. are not allowed, otherwise, once people find out, they will be punished. But, what is this punishment? , they didn’t say it, and it’s not easy for us to ask, so it shouldn’t be very good. However, there are exceptions, that is, the beauties who pay tribute to Daxia every year. Although the royal family has never accepted them, they must also send them with clean family backgrounds. Yes, they regard this as an honor."

"We know this!" Shen Cha nodded, "In the past, envoys came to see His Majesty, and His Majesty was going to hold a banquet to welcome them. At the banquet, they also talked about the differences between the Western Regions and Daxia in various aspects. They were very envious that Daxia did not have such Due to the strict marriage contract system, some of them had heart-to-heart conversations with the daughters of common people when they were young, but in the end they could only end up falling out."

"That's it." Mrs. Ning sighed softly, "The Western Region is made up of many small countries. Sometimes, a city is a country. Although some people call themselves city lords, they are actually the king of a country. Although there are many small countries , but the rules and systems they follow are the same. For a long time, some kings have very strict requirements for the other half of their heirs. In addition to not being a commoner, a businessman, or a foreigner, they must be perfect." She said. He looked at Shen Haolin and Shen Cha and waved his hands, "You don't want this expression. There's nothing to be embarrassed about. Regarding this, every royal family should have similar requirements, but there are some exceptions, such as Liao and Jin. In the past, There will also be situations where a widowed woman marries a prince, or a widowed man marries a princess.”

Shen Cha nodded. Wanyan Qingmu's mother married Wanyan and Wen with her ex-husband's eldest son, and that's how Wanyan Qingmu was born. Unfortunately, her ex-husband's family was not a good person, otherwise Wanyan Qingmu wouldn't have I have lost my mother's love since I was a child.

"Before Daxia, this kind of thing happened. Even in Daxia now, no one prohibits you from marrying a second time or marrying a second time." Shen Cha raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "As long as the family background is innocent, it will be fine. ”

"But it's not possible in the Western Regions. You also know that the people in the Western Regions are open and don't have very strict requirements for this aspect. However, their royal family attaches great importance to this. Many noble ladies do not get engaged before they are truly engaged, especially when there are unmarried members of the royal family. If you are a prince of the same age, you don’t dare to act recklessly. Of course, unless you don’t want to marry into the royal family.”

"I just said that I have always heard from businessmen in the Western Regions that the people there are more open and open than ours, and many wedding matters are decided by oneself. But after hearing what my mother said, I thought those businessmen were lying to me. I didn’t expect that only civilians are really open, and the royal family’s rules are still very strict.” “Every place has its own last resort. Some people look glamorous on the surface, but in fact, they are really Only they themselves know the pain. Hu Shang, who often visited his home before, said that there was a prince from a small country there who had a well-matched childhood sweetheart. The two were considered to be in love, but the elders of the two families did not make an engagement for them. , maybe they don’t like each other very much, mainly because the little prince’s parents feel that although the other party is also a noble, he is not worthy of their son. There is someone new that I like. Xiao Qingmei’s family probably doesn’t want their daughter to marry a prince, so they are happy to cooperate.”

"and after?"

"Later, within three years of the prince's travels, this little childhood sweetheart was arranged by the family to marry someone else. When the little prince came back from his travels, although his childhood sweetheart had ended his previous marriage, because the little prince was the next prince, he could not marry her. This little childhood sweetheart could only choose one of the aristocratic ladies selected by his elders as his princess, and the two soon got married, but the good times did not last long, and the marriage did not last long and ended soon."

"Why?" Ning Cheng looked at his adoptive mother curiously and asked, "Are they at odds with each other? I heard from several businessmen from the Western Regions that there are many couples in the royal family who seem to be in harmony but are inseparable from each other. They have their own lovers."

"Yes, they are like this." Mrs. Ning reached out and touched Ning Cheng's head, "The little princess died in childbirth, leaving only a wilted baby and passed away. However, the little prince also He was a conscientious person. After the death of the little princess, he did not marry the little Qingmei immediately. Instead, he raised the child by himself. He waited until the child was 12 years old and he became the head of the country before marrying the little Qingmei. "

"Married?" Ning Cheng's eyes widened, "No one objects?"

"Of course not, because the little prince has become the head of the country and can make his own decisions, and he already has an heir. These rules will naturally be transferred to his heir." Mrs. Ning smiled and continued, "But the good times of the little prince and his little green plum didn't last long. The little green plum passed away due to serious illness within a few years."

"So that's it!" Shen Cha nodded, "So, why did the lord of Ubi City agree to his youngest daughter marrying a Daxia businessman? Isn't this against their rules?"

"I know this!" Ning Cheng raised her hand and said cheerfully, "Because their youngest daughter's fiancé ran away, and their youngest daughter already has that fiancé's child."
