Chapter 1002 Everyone is like a dragon
Quilina is the second daughter of Siweite. Her mother is a German from Croatia, or Austrian, and her father Siweite is originally from the countryside of Jimo in the Far Eastern Empire, so Siweite Te's children are probably of what was described in previous lives as Chinese and German mixed blood.
Both Sweet and his wife are above average in appearance, and their daughter also inherited the advantages of her parents’ appearance, especially whether it is the eldest daughter Anna, the younger daughter Quilina, or Sweet’s My son, Klein, is pretty good-looking even in the 21st century.
So this little brat Friedrich must have been motivated by sex! Ernst murmured in his heart, in fact, Ernst himself is also a good-looking person, so he is quite pleased with his son's choice. His own piglets have learned to do it on their own and give other people's cabbage.
"If it's Quelina, then I have no objection. I grew up relying on that girl and know her inside and out. At the same time, this will also help set an example for the integration of East African immigrants." Ernst said matter-of-factly said.
"As for marrying a European noble, forget it. There are almost no good girls of Friedrich's age among the top nobles in Europe. After all, we suffer from the distance." Ernst said to Karina.
If there is a qualified princess in the German countries, Ernst would not mind marrying his son, even if he is not willing, but he has not found a good candidate in these years.
One of the important factors is that the geographical distance between East Africa and Europe is relatively long, and communication is not smooth. Especially in the past, when the royal family of Hechingen was thin, Constantine and Ernst Basically stuck in Africa, there is no time to deal with Europe.
The same goes for Karina. Like European court women in the 19th century, they were either attending banquets or on their way to banquets. However, since Karina married Ernst, she has basically been with Europeans. The aristocratic group has lost touch with the original circle of sisters. So far, Karina has only returned to the Austro-Hungarian Empire to visit relatives twice. The last time was to see off her grandmother, the Queen Mother Sophie.
In this case, the Rhine royal family and the entire European nobility can only communicate through letters and telegrams. Among them, the Habsburg royal family has the closest contact, but the Habsburg royal family has not been suitable for these years. A woman of the same age as Friedrich, otherwise the possibility of another marriage between the two countries would be extremely high.
Of course, the genes of European aristocrats are also relatively mixed, mainly because there are many incest marriages in modern times, so there are many crooked melons and dates. However, hemophilia has the greatest impact because Queen Victoria's children have married into royal families of various countries. In addition to hemophilia, these Other genetic diseases among aristocratic groups are also indispensable.
Of course, these are Ernst’s personal views. After all, Ernst received education from previous lives and his cognitive level is a little higher than that of contemporary people. In Ernst’s view, various genetic diseases , in the eyes of some European aristocrats, it may be proof of pure blood. Among other things, the old European aristocrats were very fond of blood until the 21st century, not to mention the 19th and early 20th centuries when medicine was underdeveloped.
Karina: "This is acceptable. Quilina's mother and I are also good friends, so there is no problem with Quilina's character. Although his father is not a traditional aristocrat, the Duke of East Africa is In terms of status, only those royal families in Europe can compare with it. "
East Africa is a big country after all, so the dukes in East Africa cannot be compared to small countries. Therefore, as a canonized duke in East Africa, Sweet is also a heavyweight in Europe. exist.
However, Ernst said: "Actually, Sweet should be considered a traditional aristocrat!"
"?" Karina and Friedrich didn't understand Ernst's words.
Ernst continued: "Although Sweet has been with me for a long time, his Far Eastern surname is Lu. The surname Lu has a very long history in the Far Eastern Empire, at least for thousands of years. According to the historical records of the Far East, The third empire in the Far East was Jiang Ziya, the auxiliary minister of the founding monarch of the Zhou Dynasty. His name was Jiang Shang, and he could also be called Lu Shang. He could be compared to a figure like Bismarck in Germany. His descendants have the surname Lu, and Sweet Theoretically speaking, he is the king of the vassal state of the Xia Dynasty of the Far Eastern Empire, which can be understood as the small countries in the Shenjun, so Situ is naturally the noble Houyi of the Far Eastern Empire."
Lü is actually the surname of Jiang Ziya, and Jiang is. Later, the surnames of the Far Eastern Empire were unified, so it didn't matter how you called them.
As for the theory that Sweet is a descendant of a noble, there is definitely no big problem. After all, everyone in the Far Eastern Empire is like a dragon, and any surname you pick out will have a great background. Of course, there are also parts that Ernst made up. There is no problem with Sweat's surname being Lu, but Sweat himself does not have his own family tree. He was originally an orphan from the Far Eastern Empire. Later, Ernst took him to Europe for education, and then transferred to Europe. He went to Africa and made great contributions to Ernst's colonial cause.
In fact, Sweet only remembers the name of the Far East when he was a child. As for the other Far Eastern empires, his memory has long been blurred. After all, he was only twelve years old when he arrived in Hechingen.
Of course, Ernst told Sweet that he was a descendant of Jiang Ziya, not entirely to deceive his family, but also to pave the way for Friedrich.
Although Ernst and Karina are relatively open-minded, they cannot completely ignore the views of the traditional European nobility, so they arranged for their future daughter-in-law Quirina to be a traditional aristocrat of the Far Eastern Empire, and a princess of a millennium aristocracy. Identity is not excessive at all, right?
Actually speaking, Ernst's family in his previous life also had a family tree. It can be said that many family trees in the Far Eastern Empire can easily be traced back to the era of Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, followed by the Xia, Shang and Wednesday dynasties. This is common.
So Ernst had every reason to believe and affirm that Sweet was the same as himself in his previous life, and even everyone in the entire Far Eastern Empire had aristocratic blood.
Of course, Ernst was bullying his wife and son for not knowing the history and national conditions of the Far Eastern Empire. But neither Karina nor Friedrich knew that, and the European aristocrats certainly didn’t know either, so Ernst said that Sweet was a Far Eastern aristocrat. , then he is a Far Eastern noble, and Sweet's daughter is naturally a Far Eastern noble.
Coupled with East Africa's canonization of Sweite, the Sweite family is not only a traditional aristocrat of the Far Eastern Empire, but also an emerging aristocrat in East Africa, more genuine than European aristocrats.
Karina knew that her husband had "researched" the history of the Far Eastern Empire and was a recognized authority on Sinology, so she did not question it.
She said: "It would be great if that was the case. I was also worried that Quirina's status would be easily looked down upon by European nobles. I didn't expect her family to have such a historical background!"
"Yes. Ah! I haven't said this to Quilina before, and it turns out that Easterners are too low-key!" Friedrich said.
Ernst pretended to be serious and said: "There is nothing surprising. The Far Eastern Empire alone has a population of 300 to 400 million, and it has a long history. There have been many dynasties and ancient countries. Under this historical background, the accumulated descendants of nobles It’s also massive, so you can just treat the Sweet family as the declining nobles of the Far Eastern Empire. It’s almost the same as the current Bourbon royal family, except that the Bourbon family The royal family does not have a long history as Sweet’s original family.”
In Ernst’s view, everyone in the Far East Empire is like a dragon. Unlike other regions in Europe, where the social hierarchy is strict, even the emperor is the supreme being in Europe. The common people of the empire can strive for a higher position through their own efforts. After all, the princes and generals have a certain ideal. Of course, this kind of thinking will definitely not be publicized in East Africa.
Although many immigrants from East Africa come from the Far Eastern Empire, it can be said that they don’t know as much about the Far Eastern Empire as Ernst does, because before immigrating to East Africa, many people may have never left their villages in their lives, and most of them are in The Far Eastern Empire was illiterate and had limited knowledge of the outside world. Most rural areas still learned about history through various legends, operas and interpretations.
