"Little Shakru, were you with Singh Dalvi's daughter last night?" asked Carter the next day when he brought Shakru to his house for dinner.

Looking at Carter's mysterious smile, Shakru felt that things must not be simple, so he replied cautiously: "Yes, we saved a very poor young lady last night." Then he changed the subject and asked, "Yes, Uncle Carter, you are good friends with Neha's father?"

Karl nodded and replied, "Well, we do have a good relationship, but now it looks like it's likely to be a step closer!"

"What do you mean, I don't seem to understand. Shakru asked, pretending to be confused.

Carter glared: "Don't pretend to be confused, tell me honestly, are you interested in the girl of the Dalwei family?

Hearing the words "propose", Sha Kru was suddenly taken aback: "What? Uncle, you're too exaggerated, aren't you?"

"What's the exaggeration? You're 22 years old, and it's time to get married, I think the girl from the Dalvi family is good, and she is beautiful, although the caste is lower than yours, but she is also a high caste, and her family background will not cause pressure on you. At this point, Carthus seemed to suddenly remember something, and asked, "By the way, I remember once you said that you would never want a penny of dowry when you got married, and this is not a joke, right?" (Darvi is the standard Kshatriya caste, you can look it up.) ）

"Of course I'm not kidding, I've always felt that this dowry system should have been abolished a long time ago, so of course I have to lead by example!" replied Shakru Masashi.

Then he changed the conversation and said, "But Neha is only 16 years old now, and she hasn't reached the legal age of marriage yet, so isn't it too early to think about it?" (Niha Darvi was born in 1988, and the timeline at this time is 2003, so I shouldn't be wrong...... ）

"The legal age of marriage? Who still takes this seriously? Carter replied disapprovingly.

In fact, it is not surprising that Carthus thinks so, because although Indian law stipulates that men can only apply for marriage registration at the age of 21 and women over 18 years old. But in fact, not many people obey this law, because the punishment for violating this law is too light, only 15 days of detention and a fine of 1,000 rupees (or 100 yuan), and the detention can be replaced by paying cash. How can anyone take such a light punishment to heart? Therefore, the phenomenon of underage marriage and even child marriage is very common in India.

"Why don't you get engaged and wait until Neha is eighteen before you get married?" Karter suggested.

"Uncle Carter, I've only known Neha for two days, let's not say if I'm willing to, can a little girl be willing to get married in high school?" asked Shakru depressedly.

Unexpectedly, Carter was very surprised and asked: "Why is she unwilling? Little Shakru, how good your conditions are now, you have tens of millions of assets, and you are a noble Brahmin, and the most important thing is that you don't want a dowry, where can you find such a good man?"

"But this is marriage, a lifelong event, you can't just look at material conditions, you have to have feelings, right?" Shakru said helplessly.

"Can feelings be cultivated slowly after marriage, and if she doesn't have a good impression of you, can she be with you at night so much?"

Hearing this argument that was almost exactly the same as when his parents persuaded him to go on a blind date in his previous life, Shakru couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, it seems that the elders all over the world have similar rhetoric in this regard, but after thinking about it, he was a little shaken, because he knew that as long as he still wanted to mix in India, then he had to marry a high-caste daughter-in-law, and Nihadarvi as a Kshatriya was in line with his own requirements, and she was also the first beauty in India in his mind, although she had not yet reached the peak of her appearance, but she was also a complete beauty！

However, Shakru still has a trace of concern: "But I have only known Niha for two days, and this relationship is not to the extent of marriage, and I won't tell you that I have a lover in RB, this is ......"

Before he could finish speaking, Carter interrupted: "You kid doesn't just have a lover in RB, don't you have a Chinese beauty at home now, but this is indeed a small problem, although there is basically more than one woman in the rich now, but it is better to make this kind of thing clear in advance, so as not to have problems in the future!"

Speaking of this, Carthus suddenly thought of an extremely serious question: "By the way, you don't want to marry an Indian girl, do you?"

Shakru waved his hand again and again: "How is this possible? My roots are still in India, otherwise I would have married that Charles girl from the Shukra family!"

Carter breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Well, that's good, okay, I'll go and ask Singh if their family can accept this matter!"

At the same time, Mr. and Mrs. Dalvi were also working on their daughter's work, and Mrs. Dalvi first asked, "Neha, what do you think of Mr. Pandit?"

Niha Darway replied inexplicably: "It's good, very capable and kind, take today's incident as an example, if it were a different person, it would probably be ignored!"

Hearing their daughter's answer, Mr. and Mrs. Dalvi looked at each other with satisfaction, and then Mrs. Dalvi continued to ask, "Since you are so pleased with Mr. Pandit, Neha, you should not object to marrying you to him, right?"

"What? marry me to him, Mom, you're not kidding?" asked Nihadarvi in shock.

"Of course not kidding, we feel that Mr. Pandit is a good fit. I've already confirmed with his uncle Karthus, Shakru has at least tens of millions of rupees in his hands now, and there will only be more in the future, so you must be very excited to marry, not to mention that he is a brahmin, which is a good thing for our whole family!"

PS: Some book friends said in the comments that the protagonist should not enjoy the privileges brought by the high caste, but at the same time complain or criticize the caste system behind his back, and even said that if the protagonist does not intend to lead the Indian people to overthrow the caste system, then don't mention this kind of thing at all.

To be honest, this makes me very difficult to understand, the protagonist is not Indian, why should he work hard for the happiness of the Indian people, not to mention that even if he does, people may not appreciate it. I'm just writing this way to reflect the real situation in India and increase the conflict in the plot, after all, writing about India without writing about the caste system is the same as writing about China without writing about food, is it simply impossible?
