Li Fan was speechless for a while after hearing this.
I have indeed been born into a good child in this life and become a hot potato.
But this incident is enough to show that his father Li Xin did not completely fall in love with the government of the noble leader and tie himself to death in the noble circle.
The strength of the Marquis Wu'an Mansion is already strong enough, and he is qualified not to be attached to others.
In fact, he has never thought of moving up a position and becoming the noble leader himself!
The origin of this kind of thing is actually not difficult to deduce. It is nothing more than the conflict between the old nobles and the new rich.
The first generation of Zhen Guo Gong became famous on the battlefield. He was indeed a good leader in leading troops in war. Due to his family background, the military force under his command was not weak...
But today's Daqian is full of strange things and strangers are rampant!
In the past, Li Fang's great-great-grandfather Li Jian suddenly rose to prominence and became one of the few strong men in the world. He overshadowed the Zhenguo government and replaced them as the true pillar of the country.
This is a natural contradiction between the old and new leaders. One mountain cannot accommodate two tigers.
If one of the two families is weaker, or if there is really one male and one female, then it would be easier to handle.
But in that case, the giants in the cabinet, even the emperor, may have new ideas.
Li Ao thought about it again and again, and gradually grasped Li Xin's context.
He not only hated the Duke of Zhen for forcing him to marry, but also hated him for not having a suitable legitimate daughter!
If the Duke of Zhenguo is willing to marry his daughter to the Marquis of Wu'an, and through this relationship, he will naturally give up the position of the noble leader, maybe he will readily agree and even be grateful for the support.
It's just that Li Fan thought about this and thought that it was not his own problem, but other things.
The Marquis of Wu'an House is a big aristocracy. With such troubles, wouldn't those wealthy businessmen, petty officials, and even ordinary people have to deal with it?
Isn't their marriage a relationship between finances and various interests?
If this crux is not resolved, it will be difficult to completely calm down the incident in the Hujiazhuang Strange Territory.
Now is not the ancient times like the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. It is hard to say what effect those things called New Deals, but actually old policies, will have.
…
"Brother Shu, I'm getting married to the eldest daughter of the Pingshan Hou family.
I've heard of her before, and she seems pretty good, but I really don't want to get married so early, it's so annoying! "
Li Fan himself hadn't figured out the reason yet. Not long after, Zhong Feng came to visit and told him unexpected news.
"What, you're also... getting married?"
"What is it called?"
Fatty Zhong reacted quickly and said with a surprised smile: "You must have been urged to get married too, right? Tell me, have you decided whose family it belongs to?"
Looking at the gossipy look on his face, the worry just now was clearly the worry of happiness.
The Pingshan Marquis Mansion and the Anding Marquis Mansion were still compatible. It was just ordinary anxiety, and they did not fall into real conflicts like Li Xin and his son.
"I haven't decided yet."
Li Chuan shook his head.
"Well, it would be great if my sister was a few years younger and matched you. Or, if my third sister was not chosen by the King of Jin and became a concubine, she could also be promised to you...
By then our two families will be in-laws, what a great thing?
However, this matter seems to have been decided before my third sister was born. It is said that the previous queen married her on her fingertips. "
Zhong Feng shook his head, looking quite regretful.
When Li Fan heard this, his heart moved slightly.
In the past, he was confused and confused, as if he was drunk, but Hujiazhuang Guiyu and his party suddenly woke up, as if they were a different person and sobered up.

The Anding Marquis Mansion and the Wu'an Marquis Mansion are very close because Zhong Gu and Li Xin are on good terms...
If nothing unexpected happens, it is really possible to promise Zhong Feng's elder sister or younger sister to himself, and the two families will officially become in-laws.
At that time, the pro-alliance relationship between himself and Zhong Feng will continue, and the Law Enforcement Hall and the General Government Hall will almost merge into one force!
But now, the legitimate daughter of the Anding Marquis Mansion has been selected as the concubine of King Jin, and she was married by the previous queen before she was born...
Could this really be a coincidence?
…
Before Li Fan could fully understand the matter, it was time to leave the office. The department continued to be busy, and it seemed that many people had to work overtime, even all night long.
However, Li Xin came out early and asked Li Chuan to go back home together.
On the way, Li Xin said to Li Fan: "I thought about it before and speculated whether the rules of Hujiazhuang are related to the resentment of the widowed and the orphaned.
Wouldn't it be possible for poor people to be so lonely that they can't give birth to a child, have a lonely yang that doesn't grow, and can't sleep alone when they grow up? If the prodigal son from a wealthy family has known his affairs early, there will never be a shortage of people to accompany him to bed. Even some men from small wealthy families are accustomed to sleeping in flowers and willows and do not want to get married.
Such a situation may not necessarily be affected by the Hujiazhuang Strange Territory. "
Li Ao secretly agreed, and there was some truth in what he said.
The groom's obsession may not necessarily be related to the form of marriage.
Because marriage is actually a complex event that includes biological instincts and social contracts. Its nature is very complicated!
What would happen if a man had no wife but sang and sang every night and had children in groups?
Is its essence really the same as those poor men who can't even afford a wife?
Although Li Xin is an ancient man, his mind is very flexible.
He was just limited by the times and could not imagine the common situation of living together and having children or only having children but not raising them.
After all, Daqian was still a feudal dynasty deeply influenced by Confucian culture. Traditionally, it had not yet turned a corner before such weird things as the Hujiazhuang Strange Territory occurred.
But even so, he also thought of countermeasures: "I have suggested that the imperial court exempt brothels and other places from paying taxes for one year, and I have made some attempts to do so, just as compensation for the seizure of them some time ago.
In addition, those private prostitutes will also be left alone for the time being. "
Li Fan frowned when he heard this.
“If the Hujiazhuang incident really corresponds to biological instinct rather than a social contract, then these methods can indeed relieve pressure.
But father, don’t forget that the Baihualou incident happened some time ago... and the Heart Poison Fire incident!
They are all related to the brothel and Chu Palace, so it may not be possible to let them go. "
When Li Xin heard this, he couldn't help but fell silent.
He hasn't figured out how to answer Li Ao's question yet.
His proposal may indeed push back the gourd and revive some of the weirdness that has been resolved!
"Forget it, let's just consider it as the lesser of two evils. Compared to this, your affairs are more important."
Li Xin quickly spoke again and changed the topic.
He suddenly lowered his voice and asked Li Fan: "If I go to ask your Majesty to grant you the position of consort, will you be willing?"
