"Ahem~! I'm just asking casually, Xiaoxuan, don't get excited~! It's fine if you don't have it, it's fine if you don't have it!"
In the "Principal's Office", Li Chengqian saw Li Zexuan looking furious and quickly waved his hand and said.
In fact, the main reason why he asked this question was because the sudden proposal of marriage by the Prime Minister of the Harsha Dynasty, Aronashun, gave him a warning. At that time, he realized that someone had started to have Changle's ideas, and his nerves also changed. That's when I started to become sensitive.
Seeing Li Zexuan like this now, Li Chengqian didn't know that he was overthinking, so he apologized quickly.
In fact, he didn't have any prejudice against Li Zexuan, but he thought Changle was still young, and Li Zexuan already had a family. As the apple of his eye, how could Changle marry Li Zexuan?
And the most important thing is that his sister and Li Zexuan are both named Li, so they can't get married if they have the same surname!
Not marrying anyone with the same surname is a traditional Chinese marriage taboo. Men and women with the same surname are not allowed to marry. The ethics and laws from the Pre-Qin Dynasty to the Han Dynasty were against intermarriage with the same surname.
The prohibition against marriage among people with the same surname began in the early Western Zhou Dynasty in China. It was a rule left over from when the Zhou people practiced exogamy.
During the Spring and Autumn Period, people had further understanding that marriages with the same surname would cause deformities and infertility in offspring, but marriages with the same surname still occurred among nobles. After the Warring States Period, family names were used as surnames. After the Han Dynasty, surnames were not distinguished, so it was common for people with the same surname not to marry.
In the Tang Dynasty, the ancient system was followed for marriages with the same surname. The Tang law stipulated that marriages with the same surname should last for two years, and those with the same surname and clan would be considered guilty of treason. The laws of the Ming and Qing dynasties stipulated that any married couple with the same surname should receive sixty sticks and divorce. But the surnames in ancient times are different from those in later generations. In ancient times, people with the same surname must have the same ancestor, but in later generations, people with the same surname may not necessarily have a blood relationship. Therefore, this provision was deleted from the "Current Criminal Code of the Qing Dynasty" in the late Qing Dynasty.
(In the Zhou Dynasty, people with the same surname did not marry, but in the Han Dynasty, this was not necessarily the case. There were also intermarriages with the same surname. For example, "Tongdian" records: Lu Houmei married Lu Yun)
So after confirming that Li Zexuan really had no such thoughts about Changle and just regarded Changle as his sister, Li Chengqian breathed a sigh of relief, because if Li Zexuan was interested in Changle, it would be too troublesome, and Li Chengqian was not willing to let himself My sister is suffering.
"You also took the football. If you have nothing to do, just leave!"
Li Zexuan said calmly.
He was a little angry, but he didn't know why he was angry. Was it misunderstood anger? Or was he angry because he was exposed to the truth?
As the crown prince of a country, he was expelled as a bad guest, but Li Chengqian was not angry. There was only embarrassment and relief on his face. He laughed twice and left with the football in his arms.
……………………
"Chief of the Mountain, envoys from Zhenla, Piao and Funan Kingdoms are asking for an audience!"
After Li Chengqian left, about half an hour later, the office door opened again, and it was Mo Zhong who walked in and bowed.
"Huh? They came to see me? Have you ever told me why?"
Li Zexuan put down the pencil in his hand and said doubtfully.
Mo Zhong shook his head and said: "Chief, they didn't say, did you see them or not?"
Li Zexuan frowned and thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Let them come in!"
"yes!"
After a while, three brown-skinned middle-aged men wearing silk came in with three servants.
It is said that after these envoys came to Chang'an, they were naturally like "Grandma Liu entered the Grand View Garden". They felt good about everything they saw, so they started a crazy "buy, buy, buy" mode. Naturally, they bought silks and satins and exquisite porcelain. Quite a few, so these envoys now began to wear silk clothes one by one.
"I've met Mr. Hou~!"
After the three people came in, they all bowed to Li Zexuan in a polite manner, and then spoke in very blunt Chinese.
They had met Li Zexuan before in the military training performance, so they knew that the young man in the room was Li Zexuan without any introduction.
Li Zexuan smiled slightly, stretched out his hand and said: "Messengers, there is no need to be polite, please sit down!"
As the saying goes, don't hit someone with a smiling face. These envoys were respectful and even learned a sentence in Chinese just to see him. This made Li Zexuan feel very comfortable!
What is the Kingdom of Heaven? Being strong in military force is not enough. You have to let people all over the world learn your language, and that's what you call the Celestial Kingdom. Li Zexuan feels that his descendants should be able to get rid of the fate of studying English hard. He believes that with the joint efforts of himself and the teachers and students of Yanhuang Academy, Chinese can become a world language!
Of course the envoys couldn't understand Li Zexuan's words. The three translators next to him immediately helped translate. The three envoys thanked him before carefully sitting on the sofa next to him.
They were all surprised when they sat down. What kind of seat is this? Why is it so soft?
The envoys originally thought that they had been very knowledgeable after visiting Chang'an City in the past few days. However, when they came to Yanhuang Academy, which was full of high-rise buildings and glazed walls, they found that their little knowledge was not enough. Got it!
Everything here is so novel and luxurious, just like the heavenly palace of the Kingdom of God.
With these surprises, they were even more in awe of Li Zexuan, the founder of Yanhuang Academy. This young man was really too mysterious and powerful! No wonder he was favored by the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty and was made a Marquis at a young age!
"Thank you so much, Mr. Marquis. I came here this time and brought some special products to Mr. Hou. I hope you will accept it~!"
The envoy of Zhenla Kingdom, Pu Yatu, handed over a brocade box and said with a smile.
"Master Marquis, this is a little thought given to you by the leader of our country. Please accept it!"
The other two envoys followed suit and took out a very exquisite box and handed it over.
In this scene, even without an interpreter, Li Zexuan understood what they meant. He leaned back in his chair, narrowed his eyes, and did not accept the gift box.
"If you envoys have something to do, please tell me directly. I don't like to go around in circles!"
He is always attentive when he has nothing to do. He is either a traitor or a thief. After taking other people's money, he has to do things for others. Although Li Zexuan never thinks that he is an upright official, he does not want to accept gifts from others in such a clear way. Besides, he is not short of money!
"Ahem! The Marquis is indeed a selfless, honest and upright man. We admire him!"
Seeing that Li Zexuan did not accept the gift, several people's hearts sank, and they coughed twice and said sarcastically.
Li Zexuan waved his hand and said: "Whether I am honest or not, it doesn't matter. You should just talk about it!"
The three of them looked at each other, and finally raised their teeth and said: "Master Marquis, His Majesty the Emperor of your country has appointed you as the Chief Shipping Officer this time. In the future, our countries will inevitably have to deal with you frequently, I will wait for this." I came here in advance to get acquainted with you, Lord Marquis!"
