The million-dollar coins and goods at the auction arrived in Emden and were transported to Orich by land. At this time, Simon came over with salivation.
"Brother, I want to take office in Ukraine!"
Marin glanced at Simon and said speechlessly:
"What? I just want to fight?"
At this moment, the voice of Old Hoffman suddenly came from the door:
"It's not that he longs for war, but that we ask him to become the Earl of Ukraine as soon as possible. In this way, we can find him a princess wife!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Old Hoffman and Mrs. Mary also came in.
Simon is not young anymore, already 31 years old, and the old Hoffman and his wife are anxious. A few years ago, news came from New York, America and New York - Albert's wife Maria Gust had already given birth to a daughter for him. At present, the young couple are already planning a second child. However, Simon, the third brother who is two years older than Albert, has not been married yet. Can the old Hoffman and his wife not be anxious?
Speaking of which, this is also the blame for the old couple. Who told them to let Simon marry a princess as their wife? If the standards were lower, finding a baron lady would have been done long ago.
However, this is the obsession of old Hoffman, and there is no way to do so. After all, marrying a princess is a very long-term matter. The Hoffman family is a new noble among the nobles and is looked down upon by many old and large nobles. Of course, if Marin, a genuine prince, wanted to marry, some princesses were willing to marry. But the problem is that Marin would have been married long ago! Therefore, the old couple could only count on Simon and Albert. But in order to be the governor, Albert chose a baron's lady as his wife early. Therefore, the burden fell on Simon's shoulders...
But although Simon is Marin's younger brother, his status is not very noble. If he is named a baron, the princesses of other vassal states will not be willing to marry. There is nothing else, he will lose his share...
In this era, it was not easy for European princes to marry princesses. Why? The mortality rate of the whole group is too high...
As for how to die? As mentioned in the previous article, I died of dysfunctional delivery...
In this era, women give birth to children is a gambling life, and the mortality rate is as high as 30%... Oh no, sorry, that is the mortality rate in China, which is well-developed in medicine, and Europe is even higher, close to 40%...
European princesses usually get married as a teenager and get pregnant as a minor. Then, having children... How dangerous is the little girl having children? The mortality rate naturally rises...
But European kings and nobles cannot be widowed, so they must re-replace. Then, they will re-replace a princess as a queen or duchess... These are great nobles with inheritance rights, and those princes without inheritance rights are more miserable. They have to wait until these inheritance rights are selected before they can be selected...
Why? The princess also have a pursuit. If you don’t become a queen or a duchess, you will give you a prince without real power as a wife? Dreaming? Only if you don’t have a suitable king or prince can you marry, will you consider those princes without inheritance. Moreover, you must be a prince who has a good fief... Even if you give an older king and prince to a retreader, it is better to be a wife to a prince without inheritance...
Therefore, the princes in Europe who do not have inheritance rights are generally embarrassed. Logically, they should also marry the princesses. However, the princesses look down on them...
There were not many princesses, but because the mortality rate of dying from labor was too high, many princes were replaced as queens or duchesses. Therefore, there were very few choices left for princes who had no inheritance.
Many poor princes simply let their youngest sons become priests because they cannot find a suitable princess to be their wife, or they have no money to pay for their marriage, so they simply let their youngest sons who have no inheritance become priests. Of course, because of their status as princes, they can usually become young bishops or something.
Old Hoffman was not so pious about religion, and only hoped that all his sons could marry and have children. Therefore, Simon avoided the fate of becoming a monk and becoming a foreign monk. However, he had to bear the family expectation of "marrying a princess"...
...
Originally, the old Hoffman and his wife were both desperate about Simon marrying the princess. After all, the princess has no worries about marrying this day. Moreover, the Hoffman family is a nouveau riche, and many old nobles don’t want to marry the Hoffman family.
But Marin wanted Simon to be an earl in Ukraine, which greatly increased Simon's hope of marrying the princess...
The reason is simple - Simon becomes an earl, and he is a great nobleman, no longer a prince with no future without inheritance. Even if the Hoffman family is a nouveau riche, people recognize it. It is not the Hoffman family, but the earl crown that Simon is about to wear on his head...
Although it is dangerous to be an earl in Ukraine, who is Simon? Marin's younger brother! Who is Marin? German military upstart, the strongman with the top military strength in Germany. If Simon went to Ukraine, could Marin not provide military support? Therefore, safety is guaranteed.
In this way, Simon's marriage problem opened up. Recently, some great nobles have been willing to negotiate Simon's marriage, and more than one family. The main reason is that they heard that Marin wanted Simon to be the earl of Ukraine. When their daughter married, she would be the countess, and she would be faced if she told her.
However, the negotiation partner was proposed - I hope Simon can obtain the title of Earl of Ukraine as soon as possible, and best. When his girl gets married, she will immediately be the countess...
After all, marrying before Simon became an earl is completely different from marrying after becoming an earl. Before Simon became an earl, the wife named Prince can only be regarded as marrying a second generation as a wife, and is not very glorious. The key is that there is no halo on her head...
But if Simon becomes the earl and marry again, once he gets married, he will be covered with the halo of "countess" on his head, how shameless will he say it?
Among them, there is the one who is most sincere that Marin just wants to say one MMP... Why? Because the one who is most sincere in this family is John II, Duke Cliffer of the Lamarck family...
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! John II has a daughter named Anna, which is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that Anna was born in 1495 and is only this year... Hey, she is actually 18 years old...
You know, Anna is 7 years older than Caesar. Last time she visited the Principality of Cliff, Anna called herself "Uncle Marin". In a blink of an eye, Anna became her brother and sister? This huge change made Marin just want to say a few more MMP...
However, the old Hoffman and his wife were most satisfied with Anna. Why? First, the Lamarck family is an ally of Marin and belongs to the "one of their own people"; secondly, Anna is 18 years old this year, which is the best time for a girl, not too big or too young; finally, it is Old Hoffman's own problem...
What's the problem with Old Hoffman himself? This starts with Old Hoffman's origin...
Before, Hoffman was a fief knight in the Kingdom of Mark. Speaking of which, he was a vassal of John II, the Earl of Mark. According to the Qing Dynasty, Hoffman was the coat slave of the Lamarck family at the time...
As a result, now it’s good that the “master” of the past actually wanted to marry the eldest lady to his stupid third son… Old Hoffman felt confused by the huge pie falling from the sky. Can you think about the situation where a “coat slave” son could marry the eldest lady of his master’s family? Now, this is the feeling in his heart…
Therefore, even if the princesses in other families are not bad at all, they may even be better, they cannot shake the determination of Old Hoffman, the former "coat" knight, to make the original eldest daughter of the master's family become her daughter-in-law...
