"In the City of Black Iron, people have become accustomed to living with mechanical creations, and even regard them as an essential part." Looking at Su Xiao, who was slightly nervous, Qing He explained.

"But this kind of mechanical creation is too exciting." Su Xiao recalled the appearance of the waiter just now, and the little brother was a little excited.

Qing He glanced at the table and smiled a little sarcastically: "Eat some ice to calm down." ”

Su Xiao's face flushed, and he drank a few sips of iced tea, trying to calm down the restlessness in his heart.

Although it was proposed by Su Xiao himself, Su Xiao never thought that this restaurant called "Candy House" was actually a lover's restaurant, no wonder the ice cream advertisement outside was so tempting.

As a local, Qinghe naturally knew the intention of this shop, but since Su Xiao took the initiative to invite, she didn't bother to explain the deep meaning behind it.

"Sometimes, it's quite interesting to do a fake show." Shaking the fire feather ice dew in his hand like a raging fire, Qing He showed a smile and drank the liquid as red as blood.

Contrary to its appearance, behind this fiery red is a cold chill to the bone, and there is a feeling of creases from the esophagus to the stomach, which comes from biological instinct.

Qing He likes this feeling very much, which is proof that she is still a human being.

But Van Yiyi didn't like it.

She regretted a little why she followed Lin Xuanyu's advice to come in and eat ice cream.

Whether it was the thick icing or the sweet greasy honey syrup, it made her a little sick to her stomach.

If only I weren't human.

Fan Yiyi thought so.

Whether it's that damn empathy, empathy, or even these knee-jerk physiological responses, it's a symbol of human backwardness.

Just as people have begun to try to clean up the backward genes left by those Neanderthals with the Yuan Spirit, these things that people cherish now may become new disasters in the future.

Fan Yiyi took a deep breath, looked at the decoration of the store, and frowned slightly: "What is that?" ”

……

"This store has just recently obtained the first-class marriage registration qualification, so it has launched a corresponding activity." Yelian answered Chu Yuan a little impatiently, looking at those pure white bouquets, she suddenly felt like she was doing a funeral.

But no matter what it is, do people like themselves also deserve to be happy?

Yelian smiled self-deprecatingly, looking at the young face reflected in the cup, a little boring.

It can barely be regarded as a flower and moon appearance, and the appearance of spiritual objects is extremely high, so how did he become like this today?

It looks like a bright appearance, but the heart has long been decayed, no matter how well it is packaged, the smell of decay can't be hidden.

Looking at this perfect face, Yelian smiled self-deprecatingly and muddied the liquid in the cup.

Let him go.

……

"Su Xiao, do you know the fourth marriage stage?"

Faced with Qing He's sudden question, Su Xiao was a little nervous, and after recalling it in his mind for a long time, he shook his head sincerely:

"I don't know."

Qing He rolled his eyes helplessly and pointed to the banners and ribbons above his head.

"Have you seen these wedding supplies, this store has the qualification to register for the first-level marriage rank, which is also the minimum marriage level."

Su Xiao frowned slightly, as if she remembered something: "I vaguely heard about it before, but I didn't understand it deeply because it had nothing to do with me." ”

"Just know how well you only know the name?" Qing He looked at Su Xiao mockingly, and a trace of affection flashed in his eyes. Sands Chinese

"Yes." Su Xiao nodded stubbornly, but he was not ridiculed as he imagined.

"Then I'll give you a science popularization in advance today. You'll find out sooner or later, anyway. ”

"Listen up."

"I really like your character. It's a shame I didn't meet you a few years earlier. ”

"I was probably just a kid a few years ago." Su smiled wryly and took a big sip of the drink.

"Forget it, let's get down to business." Qing He stretched lazily and showed a smile of unknown meaning, and Su Xiao was a little flustered when he saw it.

"Business?"

"The fourth marriage order is the most applicable marriage system in the whole continent, and it is also the modern marriage system left by Lingli.

As the name suggests, there are four levels of marriage. Depending on the needs of both parties, you can choose different stages of marriage. ”

"Are these four orders similar to caste or are they different." Su Xiao looked at Qing He curiously, and a trace of expectation flashed in her eyes.

Qing He said with a faint smile: "The fourth order increases in turn, but you can choose whether to advance or not according to your needs." ”

"The first order only has a marriage in the legal sense, an honorary wedding. To put it simply, it is a level at which the two parties can get along with each other as husband and wife, without involving the common ownership of property and without mandatory reproduction. It is the wedding with the least restrictions.

At the same time, there is no absolute limit to the number of first-order marriages, although the policies vary from place to place.

However, most accept the fact that first-order marriages can be carried out multiple times, with multiple people.

The City of Black Iron has a limit of 20 people to first-order marriages. ”

“20？” Su Xiao looked at the passers-by who went to the bar to register with a dumbfounded smile, a little difficult to accept.

"The limit of the Holy Capital seems to be 9? A first-class marriage doesn't mean anything, it's just the most basic identity recognition.

Most people regard it as an adaptation period for formal marriage, and there are not a few who upgrade their marriage level after formally accepting each other. ”

"What about the second order?"

"The second level is the power of physical mating, the right to reproduce.

From the second order onwards, there is a clear limit on the number of marriages, which is generally defined as 3-5 people, and in some places 7 or even more.

At this stage, both parties have the right to carry out the breeding act normally and are protected by law.

In other words, if two people are caught stealing a happy life, they have neither a work permit nor a second-order marriage, but they will be arrested. ”

Looking at Su Xiao's dumbfounded appearance, Qing He scratched his nose quite proudly and continued:

"The third level is a marriage of joint ownership of property. Similar to the marriage that people were used to before. In principle, only one spouse is allowed. However, it may be increased by mutual agreement, up to a maximum of 3.

Many people only advance to the second order in order to save trouble or protect their own rights and interests, and the marriage between nobles is generally only to the second order.

In particular, those who covet the beauty of commoners will only carry out the second-order marriage order at most, and some even only have the first order, and secretly carry out breeding behavior to circumvent the number limit of the second order. ”

"The last four levels are spiritual coexistence, and both parties can only apply if they are at the same level of cognition.

The spirit of the two parties in the fourth-order marriage is interdependent, trusting, and understanding, which is also the apex of the fourth-order marriage.

However, there are very few people who apply for a fourth-order marriage, not to mention the many restrictions, even if the two parties reach the conditions, they rarely advance the marriage to the fourth-order. ”

"Why? Shouldn't the fourth order be the most ideal state of marriage, trust each other, tolerate each other, and ...... each other" Speaking of this, Su Xiao suddenly stopped.

Apparently he had identified the crux of the problem.
