20, an unusual mother-in-law (middle)
When Shi Sizhong heard this Wang Jing's statement, he immediately felt very shocked, because according to this Wang Jing's statement, his French mother-in-law was definitely not an ordinary person. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoYou must know that Shi Sizhong also has some understanding of that era, even Germans have just completed nine years of compulsory education in this era, and this era is not like the era when college students are not as good as dogs in later generations, and graduate students are all over the place. In this era, a person with a primary school education belongs to the category of "intellectuals".
Although Shi Sizhong only went to primary school in the later world, he knew that it was not easy to go to primary school in many places. Compulsory education for all began decades later, in a time when no compulsory education was carried out in all countries. But her mother-in-law actually knows what politics, economy, military, history and system, etc., and even understands some of the situations in France back then. Even being able to name the great writers Balzat and Hugo is definitely not simply hungry.
Moreover, the mother-in-law also told her daughter that Hugo had written a letter to Captain Barthes, and Shi Sizhong knew very well that Hugo's letter was written into the Chinese Chinese textbook in later generations. But if a later Chinese said so, it would not be strange. If it was a later era with a high rate of cultural popularity, then this is not surprising. However, the popularity of culture in this era is not high, and learning culture is the patent of the rich, so it is naturally impossible to give it to ordinary people. However, my mother-in-law actually understands all kinds of things, such as politics, economy, military, history, system, etc., which shows that my mother-in-law is not only educated, but also has a very high level of education.
Moreover, I am even afraid that I am from an extraordinary background, otherwise how could I know so much? It definitely belongs to the upper class of society, otherwise it is impossible to understand so many things.
"Wang Jing, where is your mother from France? Which family is it? Shi Sizhong asked.
Wang Jing shook her head and said, "I don't know very well, my mother has been telling me about France." He was only twenty years old when he married his father, who was already in his forties that year. At that time, my mother was actually exiled, but I don't know what happened, so I was exiled, and then came to Chile. She said that she had been adrift at sea for more than a year, and then she came to Chile before she met her father, and then she had me. However, my mother died of illness a few years ago, which is a pity that my mother was only forty years old. However, her mother did not say which family she belonged to, she only said that she left France in 1870 in the Western calendar, and it seemed that France was in chaos that year. ”
"yes, yes, yes, that's it. In 1870, there was a revolution in France. At that time, the Franco-Prussian War was lost, and Napoleon, Emperor of the Second French Empire, was forced to abdicate and then established the Third Republic. At that time, Paris was in turmoil, the republicans and royalists were competing with each other, and even the royalists and republicans were full of all kinds of chicken feathers. Twenty years ago, that France was in turmoil. It was a time when various forces clashed, and then there was a lot of internal turmoil, and there were deaths almost every day. ”
The turmoil of that time eventually led to the establishment of the French Third Republic, which was not destroyed by Hitler until seventy years later. But before the establishment of the French Third Republic, the situation was very turbulent, and people could be killed at any time. So it's not surprising that something happened at that turbulent time, maybe it was a noble lady who was forced to leave her homeland for some reason, and then came to Chile after more than a year of wandering at sea, only to meet her father-in-law, who had just been freed. At that time, my father-in-law also became the leader of the Chinese, and the noble lady probably didn't want to continue to drift, so she chose to marry my father-in-law, Mr. Wang. Although Old Man Wang is more than twice as old as her, if a woman has experienced the hardships of being adrift at sea for more than a year and can have a stable place to live, it is not too much. Therefore, this is why I have my second wife, Wang Jing. ”
Shi Sizhong's speculation about himself is still relatively reasonable, France was extremely turbulent back then, and even the safety of people in the upper echelons of society was not guaranteed. It is not surprising that some people are forced to leave their homeland at this time, which is very normal. So this everything is also explained through.
"Just now you said that your mother's grandfather was very angry with that Hugo for writing to Captain Barthes? But your mother's grandfather should also be a person of good status. And the French commander who commanded the Anglo-French alliance to invade China was the last prime minister of the Second French Empire, that is, Char Kuzan Montauban, do you say that your mother's grandfather will be the last prime minister of the Second Empire Montauban? If so, it's not impossible. Shi Sizhong asked.
But Wang Jing shook her head and said, "I don't know, my mother didn't say it." ”
"That's probably the case, and if that's the case, we don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing? Maybe it will be a lot of benefits for our future development in France! If your mother was really a French nobleman back then, then if we can get married, it will definitely be of great help to us in France in the future. Shi Sizhong said excitedly.
Shi Sizhong really felt quite excited, if his mother-in-law was really a French nobleman, and her grandfather was the last prime minister of the Second Empire of the Count of Baliqiao, Montauban, then maybe it would be of great benefit to himself, a Chinese force, in the future. Although France is now a republic, the power of the royalists has not been completely eliminated. There are still many people in France who call themselves nobles, and although those nobles have nominally been dethroned, there are still many people in French high society who call themselves nobles.
In this case, even after more than a hundred years, there are still many people who are proud to be "nobles", even if they have long been a republic and there is no concept of nobility in the law, but they are still proud of being nobles. The influence of the aristocracy is incomparably great in Europe, so if you can get in touch with the French aristocracy, it can be said to be very good, and it will definitely be of great benefit to development.
Of course, whether it can be connected or not, then it depends on the situation. However, Shi Sizhong is confident that as long as he can determine which noble family that his mother-in-law is, then the last thing Shi Sizhong is afraid of is fooling, and he can completely fool them into accepting him. As long as you can determine whose daughter your mother-in-law is, then everything can be solved.
