Shi Sizhong hurriedly pulled his second wife Wang Jing, and then hurriedly went to find the relics left by the French mother-in-law. Originally www.biquge.info, Wang Jing didn't realize that her mother's identity seemed to be extraordinary, but now she found out that her mother could have an identity that seemed to be extraordinary, which made her curious about what her mother's identity was. So Wang Jing also took the initiative to look for the letters left by her mother, especially those relics to see what they were.

"Huh? These are all letters that seem to have been left by my mother, all in French, and this badge I don't know what it is. I don't even recognize these letters in French. Wang Jing said helplessly.

"Why? Since your mother-in-law is French, why didn't she teach you French? Shi Sizhong asked.

Wang Jing replied: "My father said that he didn't want me to know French, he thought that I was just Chinese and didn't need to learn any French. My mother didn't teach me French, but I only learned some of it myself, but I wasn't very proficient. I only know a very little communication, and I can't even fully communicate on a daily basis, but I don't understand the words at all. ”

"Well, that's right! Now let's see what my mother-in-law has left behind. Shi Sizhong said.

Shi Sizhong saw that there were actually some letters in French here, and Shi Sizhong immediately unceremoniously tore open the letter to take a look. Shi Sizhong also knows the languages of many countries, because he often has to run around in various countries, and the customs declarations of various countries are also required to know the Chinese language, so he is naturally no stranger. So he still can't help his French letters.

"This is the younger brother of your mother-in-law, and it should be a letter from your uncle!" Shi Sizhong said.

Shi Sizhong began to check the letter, and then immediately said, "It seems that my mother-in-law and his mother-in-law still have some understanding. ”

Shi Sizhong looked at the letter, and then looked back from the date, he didn't expect that his mother-in-law still had a lot of exchanges with the French side, but not much. Even Shi Sizhong really saw that this mother-in-law was still the daughter of a nobleman, but she was forced to leave the country and come to Chile during the turmoil in France in 1870 AD. However, about eight years ago, my mother-in-law successfully made contact with relatives in France.

"Your mother-in-law is the granddaughter of Montauban, the former Count of Baliqiao in France, the title of Count of Baliqiao was awarded by the then emperor Napoleon when the British and French troops invaded China, defeated the Manchu cavalry at Baliqiao, and then successfully sacked the Old Summer Palace." Shi Sizhong said.

"So, my maternal great-grandfather was a knighthood from the Manchu Dynasty?" Wang Jing said with some complexity.

Although Wang Jing and the Taiping Army have a deep hatred for the Manchus, but now his maternal great-grandfather actually obtained the title by fighting the Manchus, which makes Wang Jing not very happy. Although the Manchu Qing Dynasty and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom fought very hard, they were a family in their eyes, so Wang Jing was also very complicated. Wang Jing didn't expect that her maternal great-grandfather was actually the second crow that year. The French commander of the war, and was knighted for it. So now Wang Jing's mood is very complicated, which makes Wang Jing not easy to evaluate. After all, they are relatives on the one hand, and the country on the other, and their relationship with the Manchus is complicated, so it is naturally very difficult to make an evaluation.

"That's what I said. In fact, your mother is in contact with the current patriarch of the Montauban family, who is also her brother. However, at present, the title of the Count of Baliqiao has been cancelled, because France is currently a republic, not a monarchy, and legally speaking, there is no longer a title. However, the Montauban family still has a lot of influence in the French army. The current constitution of France is very bad, it is the product of a compromise between the monarchy and the republic, and there are still many royalists in France. So the aristocracy of that year still had a lot of influence. Of course, the royalists are also gradually declining, and this is inevitable. ”

"Your uncle, now the patriarch of the Montauban family, wants your mother to return. But your mother didn't choose to go back! Shi Sizhong said.

Wang Jing immediately asked, "Why?" ”

Shi Sizhong explained: "Judging from the situation in this letter, it seems that the Montauban family is only willing to go back to your mother, and does not want you to go back with your mother!" The Montaubans don't want to admit you as a half-breed, so at first they don't agree to your mother's terms and let you go back with your mother. ”

"So my mother-in-law didn't choose to go back, but after a year or two of correspondence, your mother has given up the idea of going back to France. But then, it seems that your mother-in-law's mother, that is, your grandmother, is very happy to know that her daughter is still alive. Under pressure from your grandmother, your uncle agreed to accept you into the Montauban family, but asked you to change your surname to Montauban. However, the mother-in-law did not seem to agree, he said in the letter that because she knew that her father-in-law was Chinese, she would not allow her bloodline to follow her mother's surname, so the mother-in-law did not choose to agree in order to take care of her father-in-law's emotions. As a result, it dragged on, and your mother didn't go back. ”

"Then your mother-in-law and your grandmother exchanged some letters, and they didn't continue to discuss going back. However, my mother-in-law died of an unexpected illness three years ago, so I broke off contact. And the most recent letter was a year and two months ago, and the Montauban family has been asking about your mother's condition. Because your grandmother has always wanted to continue to communicate with your mother, because when the old man is old, he naturally hopes that he will be able to see his relatives with both children and children. It's a pity that your mother has been dead for more than a year, and naturally no one has replied. For the next eight months, there were no answers, perhaps because the Montaubans thought your mother didn't want to see them. None of them knew what was going on here, and the father-in-law didn't open the letters, but just put them here and didn't open them and reply. ”

"It turns out that my mother still has a family in France, and it seems that her identity and influence are not small!" Wang Jing said.

Shi Sizhong suddenly said: "In this case, this Montauban family can see if they can use it, anyway, it doesn't have to be in vain!" ”
