Chapter 48: The Marriage of the Nobility**

An Chen followed Jace and them to the Xindi Hotel, and when they returned for lunch the next day, they were told about it by Qin Sheng.

There are a total of 10 core members of the Imperial Sky Shield, and in fact, it is rare to be able to gather at lunchtime. But if it's only a part, it's still possible.

An Chen finished his morning's work and rarely went to the restaurant for lunch on time. And Bai Anka has opened a private room in the No. 2 restaurant all the year round as a place for friends to eat, and this time Anchen was in time to eat.

In addition to An Chen, there are also Bai Anka, Marina and Qin Sheng, who happen to be all the meta-women in the core team. An Chen pushed open the door with his dinner plate, and saw Marina sandwiching a piece of pickled raw meat and putting it in Qin Sheng's bowl.

"Hey, Marina!" Paanka couldn't help but reach out and pat Marina to tell her to stop bullying the "honest man".

When Marina saw An Chen coming, she immediately poked the pickled raw meat she wanted to stuff for Qin Sheng into An Chen's petal porridge: "Sister An Chen, you are here!" ”

An Chen glanced at the salted meat in his sweet porridge, and couldn't help frowning: "What are you doing, can I still drink this porridge?" ”

Cured meat is raw, Qin Sheng has never eaten raw food, but An Chen does. But Anchen doesn't like to mix sweet and salty foods together, especially the salted raw meat and the smell of spices.

However, An Chen has never been really angry with Marina, just sat down next to her, picked out the cured meat in the porridge with chopsticks and put it back on Marina's plate: "That is, Ah Sheng has a good temper, and you have the ability to try Kaspa?" ”

At the mention of Casper, Marina couldn't help but shudder, and immediately became honest.

And unlike Marina, who likes to play around, Qin Sheng also looks serious in private: "An Chen, did Ah Xiao go to Bridge City with you yesterday with his own account?" ”

"Yes, everything was ordered by Ah Xiao himself." An Chen said, "Don't worry, Ah Xiao is also an adult." ”

"Ah Sheng, let Ah Xiao transfer the electronic invoice to me, and go to the Greco family's accounts for reimbursement." Paanca reminded.

Qin Sheng connected the smart bracelet to the restaurant's display screen and sent a message to Qin Xiao through the telephony system.

An Chen said briskly: "Jace's side is going well, and there should be no problem for Aoba to replace Chino in the election." In fact, there is no need to rush the progress of the rocket structure and power, after all, the long-haul-3 has to be sent to the sky, so you still have to be cautious. ”

"Marina, how's the astronaut recruitment?" Paanka asked the curly-haired girl in the ponytail.

"The initial screening has been screened, and the first interview will be held next Monday." Marina said, "I'll go to the interview in person, but I need someone from the satellite control team to go." ”

"I'll go myself, too." An Chen said, "I think it's best to send one person from each group to the interview site. Some details of the requirements still have to be seen by professionals. ”

Marina nodded, and then sighed again: "Alas, Sister Anchen, you don't know, my mother asked me to also go to the tea party of the Kozhidu family. ”

"What's wrong? Does H.E. Lyubov have a large order for fuel? An Chen asked a little strangely.

"No...... My mom told me to see the boys in other houses. "None of you will believe that my mother wants me to get married quickly." ”

An Chen and Bai Anka couldn't help laughing, but Qin Sheng said seriously: "This is also normal. After all, Marina has no brothers and often spends time at the group's headquarters, so Lord Lyubov just wants someone to help. ”

Bai Anka and Qin Sheng are both older than Marina, but their parents are not in a hurry to find a partner for them, mainly because of Chino and Qin Xiao. Even if Bai Anka and Qin Sheng spent a lot of time in the Emperor Sky Shield Group, there was no shortage of people to manage their own family's affairs, and there was no need to rush to get the heir married.

"It's not easy to get married?" An Chen deliberately joked, "Don't we still have Casper?" Casper is definitely a top two, and you don't have to worry about the Michelin family when you have him. ”

"Oops......" Marina shook twice, "I'm too young to die." ”

Bian Anca probably thought that their jokes about Casper in private were not very authentic, and jokingly stopped: "Don't think too much, Casper doesn't look down on you." ”

"There's no way Your Excellency Leroy Elodie will get Casper married now." Qin Sheng reminded them, "The Leroy family has no heir yet, and it is Casper who has been in charge of the work of the number two person. ”

Leroy Elody, director of the Institute of Materials at the Imperial Academy of Sciences, is much younger than the mothers of the rest of the room, and is now just reaching the age of the heir to the child.

Because the upper echelons of the Bee Kingdom are essentially "rule by man" rather than "rule by law", the personal relationship between the nobility and the pope is particularly important. Many nobles will find a way to make their descendants about the same age as the Pope, and if there is no way to make the heir close to the future Pope, it is also a routine practice to raise a son of the same age as the Prince.

It's not all about marriage. The main thing is that if the young people of his own family can be about the same age as the prince, they can also become classmates of the future pope in college. This was very beneficial for maintaining good relations between the royal family and other nobles.

"Casper can't do it...... Neither can Chino, nor can Ah Xiao. An Chen held his cheeks and said casually, "It seems that I really have to see the others at the tea party." However, Aunt Liubofu is also quite a chicken thief, your Michulin family doesn't hold their own tea parties, they only think about rubbing other people's tea parties on blind dates. ”

The reason why Qin Xiao can't do it is because Marina's father is the holy son of the Qin family. In other words, Marina actually has a kinship coefficient of 0.125 with Qin Sheng and Qin Xiao, so at least this generation cannot intermarry.

It is also because of this relationship that Marina, Qin Sheng, and Qin Xiao's siblings have almost grown up from childhood. For Qin Sheng, Marina is like having an extra sister, and if she is a sister, she will inevitably get used to it. As for Qin Xiao, he called An Chen "Sister An Chen", obviously learned from Marina.

"Sister Anchen, it's definitely a trouble for me to get married." Marina frowned unhappily and said, "If any of us marry other families, we will inevitably have to reveal some secrets. ”

She changed her tone and asked, "By the way, Sister An Chen, I heard that Ah Xiao really became your boyfriend?" ”

That's an embarrassing question. An Chen disguised: "No...... No, I'm just practicing as a teacher. ”

"Why, why don't you like Ah Xiao?" Marina immediately asked, "Ah Xiao is just a little naΓ―ve, and then a little squeamish...... But he's definitely a good guy, can't you just put up with it? ”

She said this, which made An Chen can't help but slander, not to mention what Qin Xiao is, but to say that if she really marries a man who is unbearable, it will not be able to endure it.

No, forbearance can be passed, but that is "forbearance is over in this life" - throughout the history of the Bee Kingdom, there has never been a precedent for a noble divorce.

But then again, Qin Xiao is still very good. Childish and squeamish are nothing, at least he is smart and sincere, and he is quite good-looking. If An Chen was just an ordinary aristocratic lady, it would definitely not be a loss to marry Qin Xiao.

It's just that An Chen is not an ordinary aristocratic lady, and whoever marries her, whether it is a noble son or a commoner man, will face obstacles and great uncertainty.
