Chapter 97: Aunt's admonition, start a family and start a business. How many uncles do I have?
When Li Jing came to the academy, Bai Fan was accepting the scolding in front of Hong Fu Nu. Seeing this, Li Jing thought it was not the time, but his wife came over when she was in a bad mood. If she didn't do it well, she would suffer!
When the Hongfu girl Zhang Chuchen saw it, okay! Just when she was worried that she could not tell her nephew, her husband arrived. Sure enough, there was still a tacit understanding between the couple!
"Husband, come and teach this unfilial boy a lesson. How can I explain to my miserable little sister?"
After some inquiry, Li Jing realized that it was Hongfu Nu who saw that Bai Fan was also very old and was already fifteen years old. It was time to start a family and start a business!
So he told Bai Fan that he wanted to ask for a wife for him, but Bai Fan refused to obey him, saying that he was still young and that a real man had not achieved his career, so why should he do family? He had to wait until he was twenty years old before he was willing to consider the marriage. This made Hong Fu Nu so angry!
Li Jing nodded. This matter was indeed Bai Fan was ignorant. He had no father or mother. His husband and wife were his only relatives. Who would worry about him if we didn’t worry about him?
"Why is Fan'er? A man who is a real man can start a family and start a career as soon as possible, and pass on his family line to be worthy of his ancestors. You are an orphan and don't want to spread the branches and leaves for the Bai family as soon as possible. When will you wait?
Fifteen years old is already not young. That boy from Mao Gong is still your student. At the age of seventeen, he is already the father of two children!
My two grandchildren are both your nephews, who are about the same age as you, and now they have made a marriage agreement!
Your parents are not here, and your aunt and I are your elders. What's wrong with handling major events for you? Why did you make your aunt so angry?"
Bai Fan complained secretly, it would be great if he was alone, and the couple would join forces. Can you tell you that it is because his ideas are incompatible with the Tang Dynasty? Not only can men marry at fifteen, but what is even more hateful is that they take a smaller wife. There are many little girls aged 12 or 13 who get married, so I can’t accept this!
The little loli who is twelve or thirteen years old is still a primary and junior high school student. No matter how you look at it, you feel guilty!
"It's my nephew who is intentionally ruling, but he really has never thought about getting married. In the eyes of fifteen, he is really too young! Your two elders are all thinking about letting your child pass on the family line as soon as possible, but the child is still a naughty boy. How can he be a good husband or a father?"
Hong Fu Nu was angry and quipped, "What did that guy Li Zhen do? Isn't that husband or father? It's just that you don't like to take care of your children. It's okay for your aunt to take care of her grandson as a parent, but why can't you let a wife be allowed?"
Li Jing was also helping, "Fan'er, you're confused! Besides, a family and your aunt will definitely choose a virtuous and kind person for you to choose a wife. Marrying into the Bai family is for you to manage the family. This is not the case for you to live alone!"
Bai Fan said bitterly, "After learning medicine, the child found that getting married too early is harmful to the body. In the Tang Dynasty, women often get married at the age of thirteen. The consequence is that premature childbirth greatly damages the vitality!
When a woman is in her teens, she is not yet suitable for childbirth and marriage. She only has good conditions for childbirth after she is eighteen. It is safer to get married at this time. If she is sooner, not only will the children born are prone to weakness and illness, but she will also suffer from frequent dystocia and other dangers during childbirth, which is really bad!
The same is true for men. Before the age of eighteen, their bodies are still in the growth stage and are not suitable for starting a family. Otherwise, it will be detrimental to their health, damage their vitality, and prone to short life. The children they give birth to are also weak!"
Li Jing and his wife thought Bai Fan would still have to argue, but they didn't expect that they would talk about medical theory and speak very well!
"Are you saying true?" Hongfu asked skeptical.
"It's true that these are all registered with medical cases. My uncle can go to the Tang Dynasty's Ministry of Civil Affairs to investigate the birth and death statistics of the population. Among them, early marriage and early childbirth, women suffer from difficult labor and death, and many of them have one corpse and two lives. These are bloody lessons. Therefore, it is for safety reasons that the child insists on getting married and having children late. When he gets old, he will know that he is concerned about it himself. After all, hehe, the child is young and wants to marry a wife as soon as possible!"
Seeing that Bai Fan was not like a lie, Li Jing asked, "In this way, this matter is a major issue related to the safety of the population of the Tang Dynasty. If what you said is true, I should report it to Your Majesty and must pay attention to this matter!"
Bai Fan said, "Not only that, but also close relatives can get married, which will cause the birth of a large number of deformed children. People like to marry each other, but the consequences are that many children are born with congenital deafness, aphasia, mental retardation, etc., which brings suffering to many families. They are all caused by the ignorance of the people. Later, I will write all these books into a book, and my uncle can present them to Your Majesty and ask Your Majesty to send someone to investigate and count them and you will know the truth or falsehood. If this matter can be solved, it will be crucial for the growth of the country's population!"
Li Jing nodded. This is a major event and must be taken seriously!
Hong Fu Nu shouted, "You go to the court to discuss national affairs. Now is the time to discuss housework, so be more attentive!"
The two looked at each other, and they were helpless, so they had to continue the previous topic!
"You said you would wait until you have a family of 180 or 20 years. This matter can be discussed. Your aunt doesn't force you to find a good family's daughter to make a marriage for you. When you are both old and suitable, you will get married. You can see that you don't like the younger ones. This time you will choose the older ones for you. The so-called female seniors hold gold bricks, so don't worry!" Hongfu girl said.
Bai Fan cried, "Auntie, this is not what the child means. I can find my wife myself!"
"Bastard, since ancient times, the matchmaker's words, what do you look for? Are you going to tease other girls? What kind of morality?" Li Jing shouted.
Well, Bai Fan really couldn't beat it when he met his aunt's hard supporter!
Hongfu Nu comforted, "This matter is settled, don't worry, girl, we will choose for you seriously, to ensure that it is beautiful and virtuous. If you are afraid of being worried, we will come to choose a portrait for you. You can mention any requirements, but you are not allowed to refuse. You have already promised that you can get married late, and you must be ignorant!"
Bai Fan was helpless, and he finally knew what his parents' orders meant by the matchmaker. He experienced it himself and felt deeply touched!
He could only grit his teeth and said, "You can't be over two years younger than me, it's okay if you're older than me. As long as you're not five years older, you can't be fat. I like slimmer! It would be better if you have a few points to learn. In fact, I don't like to be too quiet all day long, and I want to have some common language!"
Knowing that the Tang Dynasty had a habit of being fat as beauty, it would be better to avoid it as soon as possible!
Hongfu Nu covered her mouth and smiled, "There are quite a lot of requests! It seems that you have already had ideas, and you refuse so much and say no. It's really the same thing as your uncle..."
Li Jing: I...
"You just want that woman in her twenties. Whose woman will wait until she becomes an old girl in her twenties and still can't get married? Then don't worry about death!
I’m worried about this, so don’t worry!
Also, since you want to get married, you can’t live in this small courtyard of the academy. For example, this place can only be regarded as your office!
You are now also a nobleman with a great title. You can't be so shabby. Your Sanyuan yard is not good. In a few days, your aunt will find a decent house in Chang'anli.
You kid are used to being lazy, and someone must come to take care of your house. I have already sent a letter to your seventh uncle to come over and ask him to be a housekeeper for you. Only in this way can you stop your nonsense alone!”
What? Where did you come from a seventh uncle?
Bai Fan was a little confused, "No, aunt, let my seventh uncle be a housekeeper for me? How can such a thing be? Since it is my uncle, it's not too much for me to pay for it at home. How can I be a housekeeper?"
Hongfu Nu sighed, "Your uncle loved your younger sister the most before, and she was lonely all her life, without children. My aunt's consideration also gave him a place to retire. It would be great if you enter your Bai family to help you take care of your family business. As the saying goes, if you have an old man in your family, you will naturally not treat him badly. He said that if you know that your younger sister has children in your life, you will come to protect you, show you a door, and have a place to bask in the sun!
You may not know that your seventh uncle has good skills. If someone protects you, the last incident between the Cui family will not happen again, so that we can rest assured!"
Bai Fan felt warm in his heart when he heard this, and only his relatives knew to consider these things for him!
"This is OK. When the seventh uncle comes, Fan'er will definitely be filial to him!
This, aunt! How many uncles do I have? It’s all seventh uncles!”
Not many, there are nine in total. Your eldest and second uncles are gone, and your third uncle has disappeared for many years. The remaining few have already started their own families and businesses, but your seventh uncle is still lonely!
Nine, nine uncle? Not many? Isn’t this a little more? Isn’t this a superb birth? However, in ancient times, there were three wives and four concubines, and several wives and concubines gave birth to children, and it was not uncommon for nine!
