Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Daughter of the Jiang Family
Feng Xue's birthday is on the tenth day of the lunar month, that is, there are still two months left, and he has just turned eighteen, and there are still two years before the official age of marriage.
However, for the aristocracy, it is already a very strange thing that they have not yet decided on a marriage at this age.
(Note: The same surname does not marry originated in the Zhou Dynasty, and there are many marriages with the same surname in these years)
While thinking about the information of Huai'an Hou's daughter who has not yet decided to marry, he thought about the reason for refusal, but he pandered to him:
"Uncle Clan is not mistaken, the little nephew has indeed not yet decided to marry. β
However, just when Feng Xue thought that Huai'an Hou was going to open his mouth to propose marriage, he suddenly whispered: "In this case, this opportunity and good nephew should also have a chance." β
"???" Feng Xue's eyes revealed a strange look, chance, isn't it that you want to marry your daughter? Lao Tie, your way of opening is not right!
"Looks like the virtuous nephew hasn't gotten the news yet, but don't worry, and listen to me slowly. Huai'an Hou took a sip of the tea soup given by the maid and said with a smile, "It is said that in Shangqiu, there is a Jiang girl who has reached the age of Jilu, you should know what this means, right?"
"Shangqiu?" Feng Xue frowned, although he had the same name, it should have nothing to do with the modern Shangqiu, but compared to the geographical location, the surname Jiang made him understand the meaning of Huai'an Hou.
In this era, the marriage of nobles, especially the marriage of the royal family, is not only as simple as people and status, but also contains the luck of the other party.
What kind of prince will Xiangning have?
It's a pity that in this day and age, there is.
In such a mythical era, being able to become a prince and general means that he has quite a powerful ancestor, not because the nobles deliberately monopolize the promotion space of the lower classes, otherwise Feng Xue's school would not be able to run, and what really caused this result is actually very simple - luck.
Although the merits of the ancestors cannot be passed on to future generations, the luck brought by the influence he caused will overshadow the descendants, and the founder of the Xu State is the second son of Boyi, who is protected by his father's water control work, so that he has enough luck to build the country.
Although some people always say that the strong will not be swayed by luck, there is such a thing as fate that will always make you understand that your father is still your father when you are not aware of it.
At least contemporary history proves that anyone who doesn't have a great ancestor but wants to expand his territory has all died in the wilderness.
Therefore, whether it is a clan or a country, they will not miss any opportunity to introduce "noble bloodlines".
And the surname Jiang is Shennong's surname.
According to Huai'anhou's meaning, this Jiang family is probably still a direct descendant of the Shennong family!
After all, although the side line will also inherit a certain amount of luck, it will continue to dilute as the branches and leaves disperse, and it will be only three or five generations, but how many generations of the big man of the Shennong clan is, if it is an ordinary side branch of the Jiang clan, it is not enough to mobilize the people.
So, Huai'an Hou, I want to let myself try, can I marry this noble girl back?
When Huai'an Hou saw Feng Xue's eyes, he knew that this nephew understood, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
Originally, King Xu should be quite stable for him, but the appearance of this Jiang family made everything turbulent.
Because once any of the three princes gets the favor of this noble girl, the throne will basically be dead, no, it's not just as simple as death, it is not surprising that King Xu will abdicate directly.
Huai'an Hou wanted to participate, but he didn't want to talk about his wife, his sons were all too young, not to mention that he was past the marriageable age, so he didn't have a chance to divorce.
So in this matter, the situation that is beneficial to Huai'an Hou is that Jiang's daughter marries an outsider.
Therefore, he will not let go of any option that can reduce the probability of success of other princes.
Especially Xu Feng's child, he didn't want this matter when King Xia gave him a fief, which shows that he has no intention of building a country, even if he marries a woman surnamed Jiang, he will not cause any trouble to himself, if he can find a way to let his grandson marry the other party's daughter in the future, maybe he can rely on Sun Gui.
Even if this Xu Feng directly took the Jiang daughter to leave the land of Xu State to stand on his own, it would just keep everything as it was, and he would still be the first heir in line.
"Shangqiu doesn't seem to belong to the Xu Kingdom, right?" Feng Xue frowned, as if grasping the point.
"Well, it is located at the junction of Xu, Chen, and Dai. Huai'an Hou replied, and then added, "If it weren't for Shangqiu's special status, the Three Kingdoms would not have sent troops to clear the barbarians at all, and now there is no buffer at all, in short, each of the three families says that it is their own land." β
"Status?" Feng Xue frowned slightly, the realm of Shangqiu seemed to be a little familiar, but he was sure that it was not the information on the modern earth.
Huai'an Hou saw that Feng Xue was confused, but laughed and said:
"Haven't you forgotten that Shangqiu was built on the former residence of Jiang Cheng, the second ancestor of the agricultural road, and the noble daughter this time is the blood descendant of Jiang Cheng!"
"I don't study much, don't lie to me!" Feng Xue's eyes widened, and he almost didn't spit on this old thing's blood, he was Jiang Cheng, could he not know if he had left any offspring?
And it's not just him, looking back on Wangxiangtai back then, he confirmed that his family was all cold, and several brothers and sisters didn't survive, how could there be any descendants?
I'm afraid it's not an impostor?
Feng Xue had such an idea in her mind, but she didn't plan to debunk it, what does this matter have to do with herself, just because of a person who pretended to be her Zeng Zeng Zeng Zeng...... The great-granddaughter's woman, who took a seven-incense car, suffered all the way, drove for at least five days, and finally debunked that the other party was a liar?
Joke!
Feng Xue resisted the urge to roll her eyes, and finally said:
"I remember that Jiang Cheng died in the earth dragon and turned over, and he was not crowned when he died, let alone married, is this not a mistake?"
"Can genealogy be faked, can luck be faked?" Huai'an Hou didn't have any concerns about this at all, and waved his hand very casually, "Several countries have already sent people to investigate, that noble girl does have luck on her, even if she is not a descendant of Jiang Cheng, it will only be beneficial to marry back." β
"Is it so casual?" Feng Xue looked at Huai'anhou's grinning appearance, and finally sighed, and became more and more determined in her heart not to get involved in this matter, and made up her mind to participate in the nobles' friendship tomorrow, and strive to set a family affair, the ancients made a promise, as long as the family affair was set, then whether it was Huai'an Hou or King Xu, there was no way for him to try to marry the so-called Jiang family girl!
However, it was in the afternoon that Feng Xue finally realized that he was too naΓ―ve......
....................................
ps1: Shangqiu is the capital of the Song Kingdom, but the Song Kingdom was sealed by Zhou Tianzi after the Shang Dynasty was destroyed, but there are almost no written records of the Xia Dynasty and the Shang Dynasty, so it doesn't matter ( Μβ') what the vassal states are.
ps2: Regarding the drug test, there is no such style of painting these days, and the aristocracy will not be exterminated, even if the political struggle fails, at most it is exile, plus this is a mythical era, there is a yin to find out the truth, and no one will take the risk of cheap other competitors until the last resort.
