Chen Qingxiang, who was in a roller coaster mood, casually took the bamboo slip. Although he had no thoughts of getting married for the time being, as the eldest son of Qinghe, he could not shirk this point on the surface.
Otherwise, if the eldest son does not marry, it will be difficult to reassure the people of the country.
And it goes against the morality of this era.
Since you can't postpone it, just accept it happily.
Chen Qingxiang opened the bamboo slip and looked at it carefully.
Just looking at it, Chen Qingxiang's face darkened.
"Uncle, why is there still an eight-year-old?"
"That eight-year-old lady is the legitimate daughter of the Hongmu Shen family. If you choose this one, she will be just right."
"One is the eldest son of Qinghe, and the other is the legitimate daughter of Hongmu. The marriage between the two parties is just right."
"No, uncle, let alone those who are twelve or thirteen years old, this eight-year-old is a young boy, isn't he too young?"
"It's okay. If the two parties get married, various preparations will take two or three years, and it will take another one or two years to determine the auspicious date."
"It will be close to the year of cardamom, and it will be the most beautiful time."
Seeing the reaction of his predecessor, his uncle Ren Choucheng, Chen Qingxiang was a little speechless, but he also knew that it was a normal reaction for people like them who were in power. Everything was based on interests, and all kinds of emotions were only secondary.
So he didn't answer the question and continued to read the information on the bamboo slips.
But after Chen Qingxiang saw the message on a bamboo slip, he couldn't stand it anymore.
"Uncle, I'm not going to talk about that childish age. How come you're only five years old and in your prime, why do you add it to my selection?"
"This lady in her early twenties is one of the eighteen clans of Qing and Dafu in the Fang Kingdom. Her surname is Ji and she belongs to the Pagoda Yang clan. She is one of the three granddaughters of contemporary Qing and Dafu."
"Getting married to you, the eldest son of a corporal official's clan, would still be considered a marriage if you were not for Fang Guogong, but as the eldest son of a corporal official."
"And two families rarely get married. If you two get married, the chance of your children getting blood-borne diseases is close to zero."
Chen Qingxiang nodded slightly. In the three hundred years since the Chen clan was founded in Qinghe, it is true that they have never married with the Yang clan in the pagoda, which is nearly a hundred thousand miles away.
The chance of an heir getting a blood-borne disease is virtually non-existent.
However, Chen Qingxiang still had doubts.
"Uncle, the Yang clan is more than 100,000 miles away from Qinghe, how could one of his legitimate daughters want to marry me, the eldest son of a corporal official?
"Where did you get this information?"
"Have you been deceived?"
"No, this is a direct descendant of the Yang family who has traveled more than 100,000 miles from the Yang family to Qinghe. He came to discuss it in person. There is no way it is false."
"Is there anything wrong with this noble lady?"
"Probably not. It's just that her parents made the choice to marry Qinghe far away in order to allow this lady to avoid the fight for the position of senior official in the next few decades."
After hearing what his predecessor, his uncle Ren Choucheng, said, Chen Qingxiang temporarily put aside his doubts and continued to look at the bamboo slips.
After reading it for a while, Chen Qingxiang said to his predecessor, his uncle Ren Choucheng.
"Uncle, I need to think carefully about this life-long event. Please give me half a month to think about it."
"There's no rush, I'll give you a reply within half a year."
"good!"
…
After watching his predecessor, his uncle Ren Choucheng, leave, Chen Qingxiang turned back and shook his head with a chuckle.
Putting this bamboo slip containing many ladies' information to her left ear, the gray elephant ear flashed, and the bamboo slip in her hand disappeared.
This is a lifelong event in this life. Chen Qingxiang is not trying to evade it. He really wants to think about it carefully.
Before time travel, if the marriage is not compatible, the most you can do is get a divorce, lose some money, and then find a new one.
But in this world, if the marriage is not compatible, then you cannot divorce easily, otherwise it is very likely to turn against each other.
For Chen Qingxiang, the eldest son of Qinghe, it is even more important to consider carefully.
If you marry a lady from a Chinese family with a lower status, you can put it aside after the relationship doesn't work out.
And if you marry a well-matched lady who is the direct descendant of a scholar-bureaucrat, then even if you are not emotionally compatible, you should still treat each other with respect.
Otherwise, if this lady can't help herself and returns to her parents' home, it may trigger a war between the two scholar-bureaucrat clans.
In this kind of war, even Fang Guogong's office is not easy to sidetrack.
And if you marry a lady who is the direct lineage of a high-ranking official, if you can't surrender her and become your husband's wife, you have to be mentally prepared for her husband's lack of relationship.
But this is just an emotional plan.
If you consider it in terms of interests.
Marrying a lady who is the direct descendant of Dr. Qing will undoubtedly be of greatest help to Chen Qingxiang.
Moreover, the two parties are not related by blood. For Chen Qingxiang, who has awakened his bloodline, it is unlikely that the descendants of both parties will suffer from blood-borne diseases that may arise after awakening his bloodline.
Marrying a lady who is the direct descendant of a scholar-bureaucrat will be less helpful, and the possibility of heirs having blood-borne diseases will also increase.
As for marrying a lady from a Chinese family in Qinghe, unless the Chinese family is full of talented people, it will basically not be helpful, and may even be a drag.
And because there may have been marriages in the past three hundred years, the possibility of their children getting blood-borne diseases is relatively high.
…
Let’s not talk about the benefits, just talk about preventing children from being born with blood-borne diseases after birth, which should also be carefully considered.
What are blood-borne diseases?
Before time travel with Chen Qingxiang.
There are great similarities between children born from close relatives who are prone to congenital malformations and a variety of genetic diseases.
In this mythical world, the descendants of humans with similar blood lines manifest themselves as blood-borne diseases.
Among ordinary mortals, this blood-borne disease will only cause the offspring to be as prone to congenital malformations and genetic diseases as before Chen Qingxiang's time travel, and to have no qualifications for cultivation.
But some of the descendants may be normal people.
But among extraordinary people whose awakening activates their bloodline, this blood-borne disease becomes like an extremely evil curse.
If the descendants of people who have awakened their bloodline are born with blood-borne diseases, it will be completely different from the descendants of ordinary mortals with blood-borne diseases.
Instead, he was born with a deformity and deformity, possessing extraordinary powers, but without spirit and intelligence. There was only an innate hatred and resentment towards all things in his mind.
And the first object of hatred and resentment is his close relatives.
This is somewhat similar to the "gods" in fantasy that Chen Qingxiang saw before traveling through time.
Regarding this blood-borne disease, most of the people in this mythical world who awaken and activate their bloodline change their color after hearing about it.
Chen Qingxiang was also very prepared for this blood-borne disease.
Therefore, among the middle and upper classes of this mythical businessman, the Chinese people, scholar-bureaucrats, and even some ministers and officials, there is no tradition of getting close to each other.
…
After thinking about it for half a night, Chen Qingxiang put this matter in his heart.
Anyway, there is still time, so I plan to leave Elephant Valley and that spiritual realm first, and then think about it slowly after I come out.
The next day, Chen Qingxiang came to the Qinghe scholar-bureaucrat's residence.
