"My sister is still so young, how come she is discussing marriage so early?" Lin Xuan asked in surprise.
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Xuan felt that what he had asked was a bit idiotic.
In ancient times, people got married early. It was not unusual to get married at the age of thirteen or fourteen.
Li Chengqian said strangely: "Don't you know that a girl can get married if she is fifteen years old? My sister is almost fourteen years old. We must first confirm the marriage and then we can get married if she is fifteen years old."
Lin Xuan sat there blankly, a little lost.
When I fall in love with a woman for the first time, can I just watch her get married?
But there was nothing he could do about it, such as marriage, parents' orders, and matchmaker's words.
Now it's not like the future generations, you can steal your household registration book to get your marriage certificate.
If you do not get the consent of your parents, it is called sexual immorality and you will be imprisoned in a pig cage.
He could also choose to elope, but he couldn't let go of his family. Moreover, he and Li Changle had only met once and hadn't exchanged a few words. They probably didn't even remember who he was, so why should they elope with him.
well!
Li Chengqian sighed and comforted: "Although I hate my cousin, and I think he is not worthy of my sister. But this is what my parents decided, and I can't help it."
Cousin?
By the way, what Li Gaoming said before 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? It's just a matter of kissing each other and never saying that marriage is not allowed. Isn't Brother Lin confused?"
Li Chengqian felt that Lin Xuan must have been stimulated and was a little unconscious.
"Brother Gao Ming, what I said is true. There is a high chance that close relatives will give 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 hurriedly.
Seeing that Lin Xuan was serious about what he said, Li Chengqian asked hesitantly: "Is everything you said true?"
"You can investigate and you will know whether it is true or false. You don't want your sister's future children to be idiots or deformed, right?" Lin Xuan said.
Li Chengqian remained calm and silent.
He was thinking about whether what Lin Xuan said was true or not. He didn't want his sister to marry Changsun Chong, but he was just a prince and he couldn't make the decision at all about his sister's marriage.
If what Lin Xuan said was true, given the love the queen mother had for her sister, she would never have agreed to this marriage.
"Okay, I'll go back and ask someone to investigate. I hope what you said is true, otherwise there won't be any changes to my sister's marriage."
It won't cost much to investigate anyway, you can just secretly ask someone to investigate.
"Brother Gao Ming, don't worry, everything I said is true." Lin Xuan said confidently.
He is very sure of this, and these will be 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 whether the investigation results could change Li Changle's marriage, but he had no other choice but to leave it to fate.
…
After a few days, all the fire pits at home were put into use, and the stove and briquettes were also ready for use.
During the day, the stove was burning in the house, and a pot of boiling water was boiled on it. It was warm and there was always hot water to drink.
In the evening, a heated kang is used so that you won’t feel cold all day long.
Most importantly, you don't have to wear so many bulky clothes.
Of course, you still have to wear thicker clothes when going out, as there are no stoves or hot pots outside.
So Lin Xuan stays at home every day and rarely goes out.
"Brother, do you still have those potato chips and spicy strips? I want to eat them."
Seeing his sister's greedy look, Lin Xuan smiled and gave her a bag of spicy strips and a bag of potato chips.
"There is only so much for today. You are not allowed to ask for more after eating." Lin Xuan said.
"Thank you, brother." Lin Duoduo took the potato chips and spicy strips, smiling so hard that her eyes narrowed.
Chili strips and potato chips are the rewards for signing in these days. I also gave a box, which is enough to last for a while.
Lin Xuan walked to the window, opened it and lit a cigarette.
well!
"I don't know how Brother Gao Ming's investigation is going."

East Palace
Li Chengqian is busy doing homework.
In order to train Li Chengqian to become a qualified prince, Li Shimin not only found him many famous teachers to teach him.
He also sent some less important memorials to him to deal with, so that he could slowly learn to deal with political affairs.
This makes Li Chengqian very busy every day.
Although he didn't like it, he was very afraid of Li Shimin, so he completed his homework conscientiously every day.
"Your Highness, the investigation you asked me to investigate has come to a conclusion." Du He walked in and said.
Du He was the second son of Du Ruhui. After Du Ruhui's death, the Du family deteriorated year by year, so he took refuge with Li Chengqian.
Although the Du family is not as powerful as before, it still has the title of Duke, and Du He is engaged to Princess Chengyang.
Therefore, Li Chengqian valued him very much and always regarded him as his confidant.
Lin Xuan told him about the dangers of incest marriage that day. After he returned to the East Palace, he ordered Du He to investigate.
"Where's the result? Give it to me quickly!" Li Chengqian quickly put down the pen in his hand and said excitedly.
"Please take a look at it, the prince." Du He took out a piece of paper, raised his hands and handed it over.
Li Chengqian took it and unfolded it and looked at it carefully.
"Is this true?" Li Chengqian looked at Du He in surprise.
The results of this survey are really amazing.
Du He investigated 500 families of consanguineous marriages and non-consanguineous marriages respectively.
Although there are cases where children born from non-consanguineous marriages have deformities and stupidity, compared with the probability of consanguineous marriages, it is simply not worth mentioning.
"Don't worry, Your Highness, there is no problem 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 attentive to what Li Chengqian told him and could be said to have done it himself. He could guarantee that there was nothing false.
"Thank you for the 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. He knew that since Li Chengqian didn't tell him some things, it would be useless to ask.
After bowing and saluting, Du He withdrew.
Li Chengqian sat there alone, frowning and thinking for a while, then put the investigation results in his arms, got up and walked to the Li Zheng Hall.
…
Li Zhengdian
Empress Changsun touched her belly, a smile appeared on her face, she picked up her needle and thread and continued to make clothes.
She has been pregnant for more than four months and wants to make more clothes for her unborn child while she is still mobile.
"Your Highness, the Crown Prince is here."
Queen Changsun's personal maid Ruxue came in to report.
"Call him in quickly."
When she heard that Li Chengqian was coming, Empress Changsun burst into a happy smile.
"My sons and ministers see my mother and queen." Li Chengqian saluted respectfully.
