Chapter Eighty-Seven: Huai'an Hou

Having made up her mind, Feng Xue didn't move around, and instructed the sixth son to sort the gifts according to the registration, and he looked at the house allocated to him.

The courtyard that Feng Xue was assigned to was located to the west, not the kind of big mansion with five entrances and six entrances, but a manor-style courtyard - including the main house, servants' room, living room, study and other functional buildings, with twenty maids and ten male servants, and the specifications can be said to be quite good.

Feng Xue watched the sixth son instruct the manservant to carefully move the personnel into the courtyard, and walked to the master bedroom with his feet up.

In the past few days, with the gradual increase in the output of the Xujiazhuang Chemical Plant, Feng Xue has also begun to think about opening up sales.

Liuzi was busy outside taking out the gifts in the box one by one, sorting and packing them into gifts, while Feng Xue was lying on the bed, turning on the Qi and Blood Forging Technique, and slowly fell asleep.

......

While Feng Xue was asleep, the four roommates were all waiting anxiously at this time.

As the four heirs of the Xu State who are most likely to inherit the throne, their thoughts are all simple -

Xu Feng is a person who practices the way of education, and his protégés are all over the Great Xia, and he is a great sage in the world, if he can be included in his command, he will definitely be able to grasp that position more.

Even if Feng Xue doesn't express his stance immediately, as long as he shows a certain tendency, he can have a certain political impact.

Not only that, but in the hearts of the four heirs, they all had the idea: "If Xu Feng is not the first to visit, he will unite with others to defeat that guy first", and at the same time, he was also prepared to be targeted by the other three.

However, a day passed......

There wasn't a single figure to be seen.

Even if Xu Feng is tired of traveling, he should send someone to send a message of worship first, right?

Several families were muttering, but Feng Xue woke up from her sleep leisurely, looked at the sky outside the window, which was already white, and asked casually:

"What time is it?"

"It's time to meet the son. The maid waiting outside the door immediately replied, Feng Xue stretched hard, stood up, and with him opening his mouth to say hello, a group of young girls poured into the room and began to serve Feng Xue to wash and change clothes.

However, this is the same as traveling to recognize the bed, proficient in psychological effects, anyway, Feng Xue frowned slightly, and she was no longer entangled.

After changing his clothes, Liuzi also walked in at the right time, with a faint tiredness on his face, obviously he didn't sleep much, but he still cheered up and said:

"What do you command?"

"When are the four families' prayers?" Feng Xue took a sip of the teacup, different from the fried tea he made in Sheyang, the popular tea in the royal capital is still sencha, which has all kinds of nuts and spices, compared to tea, it is more like porridge with tea leaves, it is mainly a health care effect, and it may be more suitable to drink it as porridge than to quench thirst.

"The three princes are all set in the future, and the Marquis of Huai'an is set in the future. The sixth son had already read through and memorized the post, and as soon as Feng Xue asked, he immediately replied.

"Then let's wait for today. Feng Xue nodded, without much to say, Huai'an Hou is the younger brother of the current King Xu, or according to the title, called Xu Guogong, in this era when the death of the brother is still ruthless, he is a relatively strong heir, if the King of Xu dies, then his winning side is obviously the biggest.

Don't think that the Sui Dynasty didn't fight for the throne before, in fact, it's just that it is not as bloody as the Tang Dynasty, all kinds of open and secret battles, conspiracies and conspiracies, and from the moment Xia Qi seized the throne from Boyi, the change of power was already destined to be shrouded in struggle.

Ah, speaking of which, this Xu royal family is still a descendant of Ruomu, the second son of Boyi.

Consciousness invested in the golden finger panel, and began to continue to learn medical knowledge, although the discussion with Fang Lin raised medicine to 44 points, but his own knowledge did not keep up, plus the qi and blood martial arts need a lot of anatomical theories as a basis, studying hard naturally became the right thing to do.

When a person devotes himself to something, the flow of time will become faster, two hours will pass in a flash, and the courtyard door of Feng Xue's residence will finally be knocked.

The courtyard door opened, and there was a Huai'an Hou led by a servant outside the door, this person had a high nose and big ears, a square face, and his age looked less than forty, and his temperament was steady, and he seemed to have a feeling of being in a high position.

Although she didn't show it on the surface, Feng Xue still noticed that the other party seemed to be very unhappy, obviously because Feng Xue didn't return the message yesterday.

However, when the decision was made, Feng Xue was already prepared, stepped forward respectfully, greeted him according to etiquette, and introduced him into the door, and then said:

"The little nephew was unwell yesterday and couldn't visit, so I asked the uncle to forgive me. ”

"......" Huai'an Hou frowned, calling himself a little nephew and a clan uncle, which means that he only talks about family affairs regardless of the title, and he is unwell, which can be regarded as a step to make his face not so ugly.

So, this is intended to refuse the solicitation?

Although it was just a greeting, Huai'an Hou thought a lot, why Feng Xue was able to live in this Wang Zhuang, several families could understand the embarrassment, and naturally he would not be qualified to inherit the Xu State, there was no actual conflict of interest, there would be no hostility, provided that he would not join other people's side.

However, the reason why Huai'an Hou came over so early was not just to win over Feng Xue, but at the same time, there was another reason-

"I heard that the virtuous nephew has not yet been married?"

"......" Feng Xue's face was impassive, but she secretly said in her heart, what should come is coming after all, many people have the impression that the ancients got married very early, and gave birth to children at the age of fourteen or fifteen, but in fact, that refers to civilians, because of their short life span and high mortality rate, they had to get married in advance.

For the aristocracy, it is enough to take a concubine and a girl, but to get married, men must be over twenty, and women must be over fifteen, and they are not allowed to marry before they reach the age.

Before this, each family would generally choose the right nobles to set up family affairs, but Feng Xue's parents sacrificed to the sky at the age of twelve, and he was the only one left in the family who died, so naturally no one would help him find a suitable object, and with his status, those with high titles could not look down on them, and those with low status could not afford to climb high, so naturally no one came to talk to him. So it's eighteen, and there is still no one to marry.

Now is different from the past, Feng Xue has long been prepared to come to the royal capital this time and may be introduced by the seven aunts and eight aunts to introduce the little girl, but she didn't expect that the first one to come to the door would be Huai'an Hou.

....................................

ps: Regarding the age of marriage, from "The Biography of Liang in the Spring and Autumn Valley", the twelfth year of Duke Wen, it is recorded as: a man is crowned at twenty, his husband is crowned by the crown, and he is married at thirty. A woman is allowed to marry at fifteen and marry at twenty.

It means that the crown is crowned at the age of twenty, and from this time onwards it is considered an adult, but to be married before the age of thirty, a woman should be married at the age of fifteen, and she should be married at the age of twenty. In other words, men are of marriageable age between the ages of 20 and 30, while women are to be married before the age of 15 and marry before the age of 20.
