003.Blind Date (I)
"Hey, wait! Dad! I've never heard of a blind date! "Lear got up, and he was full of chagrin, and called you a mouthful.
Maggie, why didn't you tell me anything, you knew γγγγγγγ You framed me!
I don't want to think about it, no matter what kind of position it is, it is impossible for Maggie to open her mouth to convey to him that she wants to arrange a blind date for him.
"Huh? Didn't Maggie convey it to you? Old Hans frowned, but then said, as if suddenly realized, "Oh, then, I actually asked Maggie to inform you, it's really oldγγγγγγ β
"I don't want a blind date!"
"But considering your development, you still have to marry other families, Maggie also takes this into account, so I don't say a word, if your wife is not the type who can preside over housework, you have to rely on Maggie." (Note 1)
"Hey, Daddy, did you hear me?" Li Eryi said sternly: "I absolutely, don't go on a blind date!" β
"Lear, don't be so willful! Keep saying don't go on a blind date, you're almost twenty years old! β
"Huh? He was only twenty years oldγγγγγγγ Although Lear doesn't know what his father wants to say, after all, he is not an ordinary commoner, but a ruling class from high society, and he is a male who is the sole heir, usually about sixteen or seventeen years old, he is usually engaged at the age of sixteen or seventeen, although he has always said that he doesn't want to get married so early, and then escaped to the military academy for four years, but now twenty years old is already the limit, and he is about the same age, and the only one who has not yet been engaged is Karma Zabi, who has been favored by his father and has no relevant news.
But seriously, he really doesn't think it's interesting to get married when he's only twenty, he hasn't been in love for two lifetimes because he's addicted to various affairs, but he still looks forward to love, and he doesn't want to be buried in the grave so early, and in the war years, even if he marries a wife, isn't it also harming others?
He was reluctant.
"Lear!" Old Hans said heavily, but soon said in a senile, deflated manner: "You may be about to leave me." β
βγγγγγγβ Growing up, Lear, who grew up noisy with his father, who was used to this stubborn and stubborn old man, couldn't help but be silent in the face of such a weak father.
"If you can't come back, what's the point of me living," Old Hans couldn't help but have a little moist eyes, he was not a naΓ―ve young man, thinking that war was honor and a bright future, on the contrary, he knew better than anyone that war was a meat grinder that devoured life indiscriminately regardless of identity, status or genius: "At least before leaving, you have to give me a thought of living, right?" β
Daddy had already said this, and Lear had nothing to say, so he could only sit down with a sigh and say dejectedly, "This γγγγγγ Okay, I'll just go. β
But as if he wanted to make amends, he added: "But I can explain in advance, if there is really no common language, or if it is a very indecent girl, you can't force me to spend my life with someone I don't like, right?" β
"Of course, of course, you are my son, how could I harm you?" Old Hans said with a smile, as if the tears in the corners of his eyes had never existed: "Don't take this matter too seriously, you really don't like me and I won't object to you finding a side room." β
I always wonder if you just hurt me once, Lear thought to himself, but sat down to look at what Daddy had given.
Old Hans carefully selected three people for Lear, all of whom were girls of the same age and status, and for them, it was really important to be a good match, although it was in this era of awakening of human rights consciousness for hundreds of years, but love with disparity in status often did not end well in terms of past experience.
Lovers who do not have a common language, do not have a similar educational background, and cannot bring positive help to their spouses, even if they are united because of temporary hormones, will be separated sooner or later.
So the choice of this spouse can neither be too high nor too low.
If it's too highγγγγγγ Well, Jicilia Zabi is also only in her twenties, single, not only the daughter of Zabi's family, but also a high-powered capable person, and she looks good. (Note 2)
But Lear would definitely vomit blood and refuse with all his might, and old Hans would not do such a thoughtless thing.
In addition, the Alksteen family is not a traditional aristocratic family, but an upstart established by the old Hans's generation, and the objects that can be chosen are usually not those aristocratic families, but also business families, especially families developing towards the military industry.
The blind date material feels a bit like interview materials, who is the surname, where does the family live, and with carefully prepared photos, the whole document is full of 'choose me, choose me'.
Lear smiled wryly and flipped through the papers.
Aina Sakhalin, the only daughter of the Sakhalin family, a famous business family in SIDE3, is the same age as Lear, and was born in 0059.
"Sakhalin?" This is a very familiar name, the Sakhalin family and Arksstein are the same family with military industry as the main business, but compared with Arksstein, which has no history, Sakhalin was already quite famous in the old Western era, and Sakhalin, who was born in the aristocracy, even had his own retainers in the cosmic century, but the Sakhalin family has always been thin, this generation, that is, Lear's generation of Sakhalin has only two brothers and sisters, and the elder brother Ginhas Sakhalin is the highly anticipated genius of the Technology Development Bureau, At only 27 years old, he had already received the rank of technical colonel, and he was a man of much genius than Lear, and this Aina Sakhalin was probably his sister.
looks very good, although I don't know why my face is expressionless, but Leng Meiren herself likes it very much, and her father's aesthetics are still very similar to herself, but γγγγγγ
"Why Sakhalin?" Lear frowned and asked, "Aren't the Sakhalin family embraces the Zabi family?" β
Moreover, the Sakhalin family and the Arkestein family have always been in conflict with each other, and the relationship between the two families has not been very good.
"After the death of old Sakhalin, the Sakhalin family is not as good as day by day," Speaking of this, old Hans also had some regrets, that was his old rival for many years: "Although the new head of the family is a technical genius, he does not know how to run at all, and he is extremely irritable, which offends many people. β
"Now Zeon is nationalizing the military industry again, and seeing that the Sakhalin family's property cannot be saved, they begged to come to the door, and the two families will marry, and then I will help them tide over the difficulties."
"In this way, the Sakhalin family has actually reached the point of selling their daughter." Lear said in surprise.
"Hmph, my son is so good, marrying Sakhalin's daughter as his wife, they took a big advantage, besides, if you don't sell it now, when the Sakhalin family is completely down, they can't sell it if they want to, there are not many suitable objects, the Sakhalin family used to treat me as a nouveau riche, and now these nobles with their noses in the eyes still don't ask for me." Old Hans said disdainfully.
"No, Dad, you're indeed an upstart, right?"
"I know something about this Aina, although she is a little cold, but her character and ability are impeccable, and there is no problem with you," old Hans said and glanced at Lear, who still rolled his eyes, this is the way of communication between the two fathers and sons: "More importantly, this Aina has no opinions, she listens to her brother's character for everything, if you marry her, Maggie's dominance in the family and my Alkerstein property will not be affected, and it can even embezzle the Sakhalin family's property in turn, Anyway, in the hands of that Genias, it is also a waste, if the two industries can be combined into one, it will be SIDE3, and even the largest military industrial family in the entire earth circle. β
"Besides, this kid looks to your taste." Old Hans said.
"Cai, Cai, no, you, how can you smear people's innocence out of thin air," Lear's face turned red, although he was mature in every sense, but he really had no experience in this area: "What kind of girl I like, how do you know, talk nonsense." β
"Hmph," said old Hans, with a disdainful laugh coming out of his nose, "it's not like I haven't seen the books Maggie has found in your room. β
"That, that one was given to me by a classmate!"
"Okay, stop talking stupid, hurry up, how about this Aina? If I don't have any opinions, I'll reply to the Sakhalin family and arrange for you to meet. Old Hans was a little anxious.
"Hmm, Dad, you're not finished, are you?" Although he was nervous just now, Lear quickly realized that there was another article in it.
βγγγγγγβ Old Hans turned his face away.
I see, seeing this scene, Lear sighed inwardly, letting his father worry about himself so much, he was really unfilial.
"I say, Daddy, you don't have to think so much, you can't force yourself to mix with the Zabi faction for my sake," Lear slowed his tone, "If the Zabi family really wants to attack our family, they won't show mercy because of this shallow in-law relationship, but if our family marries Sakhalin, what will your old friends think?" β
βγγγγγγ This is the business of my Alckstein family, and it has nothing to do with them," said old Hans with a blank face, "Besides, if our family is implicated because of me, you may be able to survive because of this." β
Unexpectedly, Dad was already desperate for the Daken faction to this extent.
"Forget it." Lear said after a moment's thought.
ββββ Dividing Lineββββ
Note 1: It is not uncommon for the universe century to blatantly have a second room, such as marrying Roger Lucia, giving birth to Char's siblings with someone else, and blatantly taking the second room to his own house Zeon Daken, Deggin's son Dozru was also born to the side room, and the same is true of Dozru's daughter Minerva, Dozru's side room is Haman's sister, so after Zeon was defeated and fled to Axis, Minerva will be raised by Haman, who was only twelve years old at the time.
Of course, this is based on the setting of Gundam Origin, Dozru does not have a side room, and Harman's sister is his wife.
Speaking of which, there are many stallions in the cosmic century, and the two protagonists throughout the work, the mule (Amuro Ray) and the duck (Char Aznable) are Dumas who change girlfriends in one work.
Note 2: Although everyone's impression of Cecilia is a masked purple old woman (there seem to be others who are also masked purple old women, such as Shi Adi arms dealer Gap Oh Ha gn [poj], but in the setting, she was born in U.C0055 of the Cosmic Century, she was only 24 years old when the war broke out, and in the biography, she is very beautiful, after all, she is the aunt of Minerva Zabi, Karma Zabi's sister, Zabi's family, Kilian is also good-looking, and the ugly one is only Dozru.
Sure enough, it was the child in the side room.
