Chapter 42 The Dangers of Intermarriage

"Lingmei is still so young, how could she talk about marriage so early?" Lin Xuan asked in surprise.

As soon as Lin Xuan finished speaking, he felt that what he asked was a bit idiotic.

In ancient times, marriage was early, and it was not uncommon to get married at the age of thirteen or fourteen.

Li Chengqian said strangely: "You don't know that women can get married when they are fifteen years old, right? My sister is almost 14 years old. First confirm the marriage, and then you can get married when you are old."

Lin Xuan sat there blankly, a little lost.

The first time I fell in love with a woman, can I only watch her marry as a woman?

But he has nothing to do, the marriage is a big deal, the order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker.

Now is not a future life, you can steal your household registration book to get a marriage certificate.

If there is no parental consent, it is called sexual intercourse, and it will be immersed in a pig cage.

He can also choose to elope, but he can't let go of his family, and he and Li Changle met once, without saying a few words, and now they don't even remember who he is, so why should they elope with him.

Ugh!
Li Chengqian sighed, and comforted: "Although I hate that cousin, I also think he is not good enough for my sister. But this is something my parents decide, and I can't help it."

cousin?

By the way, what Li Gaoming said earlier was that his parents and his uncle were discussing marriage, so the person who wants to marry Li Changle is his uncle's child?

"Brother Gao Ming, close relatives cannot marry." Lin Xuan said excitedly.

"How can there be such a saying, only kissing and kissing, never saying that you can't get married, brother Lin is confused?"

Li Chengqian felt that Lin Xuan must have been stimulated and became a little unconscious.

"Brother Gao Ming, what I said is true. Inbreeding has a high chance of giving birth to idiots or deformed children. I can't explain the reason, but you can go and investigate and you will know." Lin Xuan Said hastily.

Seeing Lin Xuan's seriousness, Li Chengqian asked hesitantly, "Is everything you said true?"

"Go and investigate, and you will know the truth. You don't want your sister's future children to be idiots or deformed, do you?" Lin Xuan said.

Li Chengqian remained silent.

He was thinking about the truth of what Lin Xuan said, and he didn't want his sister to marry Changsun Chong, but he was just a prince, and he couldn't make any decisions about his sister's marriage.

If what Lin Xuan said was true, the mother would never agree to this marriage because of her mother's love for her younger sister.

"Okay, I'll go back and ask someone to investigate. I hope what you said is true, otherwise there will be no change in my sister's marriage."

Anyway, it doesn't take much to investigate, just ask someone to investigate secretly.

"Brother Gao Ming, don't worry, what I said is true." Lin Xuan said confidently.

He is very sure of this point, which has been verified in later generations.

Li Chengqian was very concerned about his sister's life, asked Lin Xuan to buy some bean sprouts, and hurried back.

Lin Xuan didn't know if the investigation results could change Li Changle's marriage, but he had no other choice but to resign himself to fate.

……

After a few days, all the kangs at home were put into use, and the stove and briquettes were also ready for use.

During the day, there is a stove burning in the house, and a pot of boiling water is boiled on it, and it is warm and there is always hot water to drink.

In the evening, a kang is used, so that you will not feel cold all day long.

Best of all, you don't have to wear so many bulky clothes.

Of course, you still have to wear thicker clothes when you go out, because there are no stoves or kangs outside.

So Lin Xuan stayed at home every day and rarely went out.

"Brother, do you still have the potato chips and hot fries? I want to eat them."

Seeing his younger sister's little greedy cat, Lin Xuan smiled, and gave her a pack of spicy sticks and a pack of potato chips.

"There are only so many today, don't ask for more after eating." Lin Xuan said.

"Thank you, brother." Lin Duoduo took the potato chips and spicy sticks, smiling until his eyes narrowed.

Spicy sticks and potato chips are the rewards for signing in these days, and they are also given a box, which is enough to eat for a while.

Lin Xuan went to the window, pushed the window open and lit a cigarette.

Ugh!
"I don't know how brother Gao Ming's investigation is going."

……

East Palace
Li Chengqian is busy doing his homework.

In order to train Li Chengqian to become a qualified prince, Li Shimin not only found many famous teachers for him to teach him.

He also sent some unimportant memorials to him to deal with, so that he could slowly learn to deal with political affairs.

This made Li Chengqian very busy every day.

Although he didn't like it, he was very afraid of Li Shimin, so he finished his homework conscientiously every day.

"His Royal Highness, the matter you asked me to investigate has come to an end." Du He walked in and said.

Du He is the second son of Du Ruhui. After Du Ruhui passed away, the Du family was not as good as each year, so he took refuge in Li Chengqian.

Although the power of the Du family is not as powerful as it was back then, there is still a duke of the country, and Du He even has a marriage contract with Princess Chengyang.

Therefore, Li Chengqian valued him very much and always cited him as his confidant.

That day Lin Xuan told him about the dangers of inbreeding. After he returned to the East Palace, he ordered Du He to investigate.

"What's the result? Give it to Gu!" Li Chengqian hurriedly put down the pen in his hand and said excitedly.

"Please take a look at the prince." Du He took out a piece of paper, raised his hands and handed it over.

Li Chengqian took it, unfolded it and looked at it carefully.

"Is this true?" Li Chengqian looked at Du He in surprise.

The results of this survey are truly astonishing.

Du He investigated [-] households for marriages between consanguineous relatives and non-consanguineous relatives.

Although non-consanguineous marriages also have children who appear deformed and stupid, but compared with the probability of consanguineous marriages, it is simply not worth mentioning.

"Don't worry, Your Highness, there is nothing wrong with this result." Du He said with certainty.

He didn't know why Li Chengqian asked him to investigate these things, but he was very careful about what Li Chengqian explained, and he did it himself. He can guarantee that there is no falsehood.

"Thank you for your hard work, go back and have a good rest." Li Chengqian said.

Li Chengqian did not explain to him why he wanted to investigate these.

Du He didn't ask either. He knew that since Li Chengqian didn't tell him about some things, it would be useless even if he asked.

After bowing and saluting, Du He withdrew.

Sitting there alone, Li Chengqian frowned and pondered for a while, put the results of the investigation into his arms, got up and left for the Lizheng Hall.

……

Lizheng Palace

Empress Changsun touched her belly, with a smile on her face, she picked up the needle and thread and continued to make clothes.

She has been pregnant for more than four months, and she wants to make more clothes for the unborn child while it is still convenient for activities.

"Ma'am, the crown prince is here."

Empress Changsun's personal maid Ruxue came in to report.

"Call him in quickly."

Hearing that Li Chengqian was coming, Empress Changsun had a happy smile on her face.

"The sons and ministers see the queen mother." Li Chengqian saluted respectfully.
