Chapter 217 Going to school is useful
In fact, Wen Xiangwu’s intentions are not the focus.
The point is that if this is a marriage arranged by Wen Xiangwu, I cannot refuse.
In Daxian, civilians can marry nobles as long as they reach a certain level of official position. I had no idea about these things. If it weren't for the newspapers that an officer could marry nobles as long as he was promoted to lieutenant colonel, he could marry nobles. I wouldn't know who could marry nobles.
Princess Zhaoxi is a royal family, but the royal family is also a noble family. I am now a colonel, one level higher than the lieutenant colonel, so I can naturally marry Princess Zhaoxi.
Although you can get married and don’t need to marry, and the child can use the man’s surname, the two identities are not equal. After marriage, the status of the common people in the family must be lower than that of the nobles. If I become the princess, then I can only have Princess Zhaoxi, which is the wife, and I can’t even take a concubine.
What? You said I clearly don’t know what official position a civilian needs to marry a noble, why do I know that even if I become a prince consort, I can’t even take a concubine?
Since you can ask such a question, you are definitely not the ancestor. We will teach you the knowledge related to the first and second grades of elementary school. If I remember correctly, it is the fourth chapter of the common sense textbook for the second grade of elementary school. That whole chapter is about this. Even if you don’t go to elementary school, your family will teach you because this is a necessary knowledge in life, that is, common sense.
This kind of knowledge test requires the test, and you cannot get the answer wrong. Even if you just fill in the blanks, you will fail and you must take the make-up test. You have to buy the make-up test papers yourself, and you will be very expensive. Because the make-up test costs money, even students who are the least willing to study will memorize the content of Chapter 4 of the second grade common sense textbook for primary school.
Zhuying immediately panicked after reading the newspaper and kept saying that something happened because of this. If I became the prince-in-law, I would not be able to marry a wife and take a concubine again, and Zhuying would not be able to pass the family. Zhuying would not be able to pass the family, so she could only be my lover, and our children would be illegitimate children, and they would be shameless.
Because it is related to her future, Zhuying is even more panicked this time than when she saw Si Congpo's order. I repeatedly assured her that I didn't know about this and did not plan to marry Princess Zhaoxi. But she was still so panicked that she was trembling with her lips and tears falling down, which made me feel very distressed.
I really wanted to ask Lin Zhongsheng for the situation, but it was too early and the sun had not come out. Although it was brightly lit outside, the person who should sleep was still asleep, so it was hard for me to disturb the Lin family. And even if I went to the Lin family and found Lin Zhongsheng, he would not be able to take me to see Wen Xiangwu at this time.
Fortunately, Zhuying is a sensible woman. After crying for a while, she sighed heavily and said, "You can't help it." Then she held back her tears and comforted me.
"This is not your fault...this is also impossible... Maybe this is fate. Maybe... maybe... maybe from the moment I go the wrong way, I will be destined to have no home. This is my own fault... Don't feel sorry for me, you are already very good to me, I am already satisfied. Although I can't enter the house,...but we can still be together. Isn't this good..."
Her words made me feel heavier. This is how I am. The more others treat me well and think about me, the more I care about them. The more I care about them, the more I want them to be satisfied.
But what's the use of being in a heavy mood? A face with a bitter expression cannot change anything. I must cheer up as soon as possible and find a way to solve this problem.
After I forced a smile, Zhuying went to the kitchen to make some food for me. Maybe it was an illusion. When breakfast was in my mouth, it was a bit of salty smell of tears. I ate all the breakfast, and after going out, I pounded my chest hard, and warned myself in my heart.
Gunning, you can't make your woman sad, absolutely not!
On the way to Nanqiao Military Camp, I thought about my situation carefully.
Now, the engagement between Princess Zhaoxi and I was in the newspaper. Even if I didn’t hold an engagement banquet, it would not be rejected. The so-called engagement banquet is not only a ceremony, but also a reasonable way to spread the relationship between men and women. Now, everyone knows the engagement between Princess Zhaoxi and I. If I refuse the marriage, it will be the common people who refute the royal face and are slapping the royal face.
Although the people of Yuanxing don’t like the royal family and dare to burn the Qilin, we have never had a head-on conflict with the royal family. We must give the royal family the face they should give. After all, the royal family represents the country, and having a head-on conflict with the royal family is treason, which is morally untenable.
It is not feasible to ask Prince Rui’s Mansion to turn off the marriage. After all, the newspaper said that Prince Rui had agreed to this marriage, and going back on his word would not only slap himself in the face, but also lose his reputation of looking down on civilian officers.
Princess Zhaoxi cannot break the marriage either. The second half of the news subtitle is "After eight years, the name of the misfortune star is cleared", but the main text only uses a short passage to explain the process of Princess Zhaoxi's grievance.
The general meaning is that Princess Zhaoxi's nanny is a person with unclean hands and feet. She was interrupted by stealing things from the King of Rui's family and drove out of the palace. After that, she held a grudge and seized the opportunity of Princess Zhaoxi's fiancé's sudden death to take revenge. She spread these rumors through some dirty means, destroying Princess Zhaoxi's reputation.
If you take this paragraph alone, the credibility is not high. Although it is logical, the information expressed in the whole paragraph is too vague and difficult to convince people. However, if you put it in the main text, the effect will be different.
Yuanxing Daily used a lot of writing to portray Princess Zhaoxi into a tragic character, and used my infatuation to set off her tragic feelings. This would easily arouse readers' sympathy. After sympathizing with Princess Zhaoxi, readers themselves will feel that Princess Zhaoxi's situation is too miserable, think that it is unfair to her, and want to seek justice for her.
Then they will easily believe this process of injustice - not because this passage is credible, but because they want to believe these words, so they believe them.
But if she breaks her marriage, it is equivalent to letting down my infatuation. At this time, everyone will turn to sympathize with me and be hostile to Princess Zhaoxi, thus doubting the authenticity of her injustice, which will make her reputation worse again.
What? You ask me why a person who dropped out of school in the first grade of middle school can analyze so many things from the article?
There are not many things taught in the first grade of middle school, and Chinese is one of them. Writing, rhetoric, analyzing the author's mentality and reading effects are all Chinese language courses at the first grade of middle school.
Thinking of this, I found that the problem that has always troubled me has been solved.
What is the use of going to school? What is the use of studying?
If I had never been to middle school or learned things, I would definitely not be able to analyze these things now. The ancients said that only when I was using books, I would regret that I would be less serious, and that's what I said.
So, in the future, you still have to read more books, newspapers, and study more.
Perhaps because my thinking was off and my attention was distracted, when I arrived at the gate of the military camp, my mood was no longer so heavy. Just as I was about to reorganize my thoughts and see if I could come up with a solution, Bi Jin's shout suddenly came from beside me.
"Brother! Alas! Brother!"
I turned around and saw Bi Jin wearing a fur coat walking towards me with an anxious look. He should have gotten out of the car. The car was parked far away and was at least fifty meters away from the military camp gate.
If it were in the past, the Bi family's car could enter the military camp directly, and at the worst it could park at the gate. Now the garrison troops have been replaced by the Guards Corps, so the Bi family's car could only park there, and there were two soldiers carrying live ammunition next to it to monitor.
When I saw Bi Jin walking here, I immediately walked up to him. I knew that he must have read today's newspaper or heard about related news. He felt that my engagement with Shuang'er was going to be bad, so he wanted to talk to me.
