Chapter 1122: A Wife May Not Be Credible
In fact, Caesar, who is only 7 years old, is still very well educated. Under Angela's tutelage, Caesar can now speak Italian and Latin fluently. As for his native German, he naturally speaks it very well. He also speaks East Frisian, the native Frisian, and can converse with English speakers.
In other words, little Caesar, who is only 7 years old, can actually speak 4 languages. Of course, they are all languages of the same language family. In particular, English and German were still relatively close in this era. Even in later generations, many words in English and German were very similar. After all, the main body of the English people was also Germanic. Therefore, it is not very difficult to master both German and English (Frisian) at the same time. Although Latin and Italian are quite different in later generations, the degree of similarity is still very high in this era. After all, Italian is also derived from popular Latin. So, strictly speaking, the four languages that Caesar spoke were actually the two Germanic tribes and Latin and its tribes. The overall difficulty is definitely much lower than that of 4 unrelated languages.
Moreover, at present, Caesar's four languages are actually at the stage of being able to speak and write. Just like an ordinary illiterate, he can speak his native language fluently, but he can't write...... Only in Latin, Caesar would have written a little. However, because he was only 7 years old, Angela didn't teach him much......
Marin decided, from now on, to let Caesar formally learn about culture. In the curriculum, the subject of Chinese will be added, and the teacher is Scanda, who accompanied Kong Tai to the Ming Dynasty as a deputy envoy.
Marlin specially summoned Sconda and ordered him to teach little Caesar to speak and write Chinese. Moreover, a special requirement was put forward - when teaching Caesar's Chinese, it must be in a room where no one else is observed, and no one else is allowed to observe......
In fact, this is guarding against Angela and the people around Angela......
If Angela is studying on the side, or Angela's maid is listening, then it is possible for them to learn Chinese. And Marlin's "Traverser's Notes", which is the top secret, may be in Angela's hands, after all, Marin is not sure if Angela will comply with his request to peek at those secrets.
Although Marin believed in Angela's character, he could not trust his papal father-in-law. If he died, his father-in-law would definitely arrange for Angela to remarry. After all, Angela is only in her twenties, and she is still young. And "Traveler's Notes" in the cement house, even if Angela doesn't want to read it, maybe the pope's father-in-law will encourage her to peek. And what's worse is that Angela is a very obedient and well-behaved girl, and she may really peek under the pressure of her father......
Therefore, even if Marin trusts Angela, there is no guarantee that she will not obey her orders. After all, she doesn't have much opinion. Moreover, by Angela's side, there is also a restless Felise......
Marin didn't trust Felise very much, the woman was very ambitious. If it weren't for her clear promise to praise Robert as pope in the future, this woman would definitely not be appeased. Moreover, Marin didn't have any feelings for her in the first place. The reason why he possessed her was only because he was afraid that after she married a husband, she would share the support of the pope's father-in-law. After all, even the Pope's network resources are limited. The pope's father-in-law has multiple sons-in-law, and many people will grab resources......
Therefore, knowing that Felice is not as beautiful as Angela, and people are not at ease, Marin still accepts her. But the secrets of the Beihai Kingdom, Marin generally won't tell her. Moreover, Marin is not worried about her murdering Angela. Because, Felise is just an underground lover, even if she kills Angela, she will not have a chance to become a big woman. And Felise's son can only be regarded as an illegitimate child, and he has no chance to inherit Marin's family business. So, Gong Dou or something doesn't exist. Instead, Felise must protect her sister Angela. Because, if someone else is the Grand Duchess of Beihai Kingdom, he may not be willing to tolerate the existence of Felise, let alone live in the palace.
Angela's disadvantage is that her ears are soft, and if she has an accident, maybe, Felise will also encourage Angela to smash open the cement house and peek at the secrets inside. But if Angela and the people around her don't know Chinese, even if they see "Traveler's Notes", it will be useless. After all, for Europeans, the Chinese language is basically a book from heaven.
And the reason why Marin believes that Caesar can learn Chinese is because he can speak 4 languages at a young age. Although the four languages are two major families, it also proves Caesar's linguistic talent. If you study hard, you can still learn Chinese.
As for the group of people who studied Chinese with Conté and Sconda, Marin also sent them all to England to secretly settle down, so that Angela could summon them. As for Sconda, Marin gave him an order - not to teach Chinese to anyone other than Caesar, otherwise he would be secretly executed by the diehards left behind by Marin......
……
Europe is not the Ming Dynasty, and women do not have the habit of observing festivals. As for those who have died before the age of 30, it is common to remarry. Moreover, the European aristocracy did not care about the remarriage of widows. Even, he loves to marry rich widows. If you are a widow who has given birth, it is even more popular......
Why? The European aristocracy was afraid of extinction. So, they are worried about marrying a woman who can't have children. And in this era, divorce is not allowed, and marrying a woman who can't have children is over. Therefore, a wealthy aristocratic widow who can prove that she has the ability to have children is very popular. By marrying such a widow, you can not only obtain a large amount of wealth, but also minimize the risk of extinction.
Therefore, if Marin hangs up, even if Angela has no intention of remarrying, there will be many big nobles who will come up like flies and pursue Angela.
After all, Angela is still young and beautiful. And after Marin's death, she will definitely have a lot of wealth. Moreover, Marin's papal father-in-law will definitely support Angela's remarriage. If Julius II reveals that Angela is his daughter, it is estimated that the pursuers of Angela will follow. After all, there are so many benefits to being a pope's son-in-law......
Therefore, Marin must be on guard against Angela. He didn't worry that Angela would treat Caesar badly, and he didn't care that Angela would remarry after his death (he was dead, why delay others?). But he would not allow his secret to be passed on to Angela's next husband and future son. After all, it wasn't his own son, and he didn't deserve these secrets. But to Angela, those sons were the same as Caesar. Therefore, when she gets the secret, it is equivalent to leaking the secret......
As for Angela's reluctance to remarry, she raised Caesar alone...... This possibility is not impossible, but it is very low, and Marin does not dare to bet on it......
……
Of course, these are the worst-case scenarios. After all, sailing is risky.
In fact, Marin can not take this risk at all. However, Marin is a man with some axes. Knowing that going to Daming was risky, he still couldn't help but want to go to Daming to have a look. After all, it is too tempting to see what the ancient Ming Dynasty was like. Moreover, when the trip is placed in winter, the chance of encountering typhoons and hurricanes is very small, and it is generally safe.
The reason why these arrangements are made is just a precautionary measure. In the absence of the Ming Dynasty's etiquette, the wife may not be credible. After all, if you die early, there is a high possibility that your wife will remarry. And if she remarries and has children, she may use the resources you left her to raise the children born from remarriage. For her, no matter which man she has a child with, it is all close, there is no difference. But for you, the child she remarried has a P relationship with you...... Even if it is the child of the seventh aunt and the eighth aunt, the relationship with you is closer than that child......
Therefore, if there is a secret, it is better to leave it alone to your son. After all, one's own seed is one's own seed, and others can never replace it. Even if the human soul crosses, the bloodline is also one's own. And since ancient times, many of the rules of "passing on men but not women" are actually to a large extent to guard against wives who may remarry in the future. After all, there is no guarantee that they or their children and grandchildren will not die young......
