¡°This thing is really giving people a headache.¡±
Emperor Hongzhi had a headache when he thought of these things.
What are you most afraid of when giving birth to a daughter?
The biggest fear is marrying the wrong person, which will really ruin your whole life.
There is no such thing as divorce in the Ming Dynasty. If you marry poorly in later generations, you can divorce and remarry, but this is not possible in the Ming Dynasty. Chastity is also emphasized. After the husband dies, the wife must remain a widow. This is a good example, not He said he would marry someone else.
Especially those from the royal family, who set an example for everyone in the world, and are even less likely to remarry easily.
"Well, it is indeed a headache, so I came here to discuss it with you. Can we change the rules left by our ancestors?"
Queen Zhang also nodded and said.
She was also very troubled by this matter, because she knew the rules set by her ancestors. The emperor of the Ming Dynasty only married women from ordinary families, and the princesses of the Ming Dynasty only married ordinary people. As a result, they often married It's very bad, most of them are unsatisfactory, and most of them end up depressed.
In addition, these eunuchs who were ordered to go out of the palace to select the consort were often unreliable. They accepted bribes and casually married the emperor's daughter to some unreliable people.
Sometimes I find it ridiculous that the fate of the majestic princess is finally in the hands of the eunuch.
"How can the rules of our ancestors be changed at any time?"
When Emperor Hongzhi heard this, he immediately said with a straight face.
¡°Then I don¡¯t care, anyway, we must find a satisfactory husband for Nanyang, not only to satisfy us, but also to satisfy Nanyang himself.¡±
"Don't marry Nanyang casually when the time comes. If you don't marry well, Nanyang's life will be ruined."
Queen Zhang doesn¡¯t care about this. She takes such a precious daughter very seriously. How can she just marry someone casually?
"How do you want to change it?"
After hearing this, Emperor Hongzhi said helplessly.
"Don't be restricted to marrying ordinary people. You can also marry the children of princes. Many of the princes' children are in the capital. You can see how they look like."
"You can also ask someone to find out what his character is like, and you can also find an opportunity for Nanyang to see for himself, and then marry him as he wishes."
Queen Zhang thought for a moment and said, "If you marry closer, you should come back to the palace every day to see her, right?"
"Hmm~"
Emperor Hongzhi also nodded after hearing this.
"If this precious daughter were to marry out of town, Emperor Hongzhi would be reluctant to part with her, and if she didn't marry well, it would be even more heartbreaking.
"It's just that if you marry a prince's son, it may be difficult to find a suitable candidate."
Emperor Hongzhi turned his head and frowned again.
Where is the Ming Dynasty's consort system? Being a consort means that there will be no future in the future. No one in the royal family is willing to marry a princess.
Moreover, people in this era get married very early, and often start a family and start a business when they are sixteen or seventeen years old. In Nanyang, people are about to turn eighteen. There are too few princes and princes who have not yet settled down to get married at this age. It's even harder to find a good husband or something.
"There are too few, too few, princes and nobles who still get married at the age of eighteen!"
"It's not your fault. I believed Liu Jin's words. If you are not eighteen years old, your body will not develop well. Marrying too early will be bad for your health, so the two children were not married until they were eighteen. .¡±
When Queen Zhang heard this, she immediately curled her lips and said.
"What Liu Jin said makes sense. Look at the fact that the prince got married later, but his health has always been very good. There is no one in the history of the dynasty who can give birth to children better than him."
"Later is indeed better for your health."
"Liu Jin's own children are basically not allowed to get married until they are seventeen or eighteen years old."
Emperor Hongzhi smiled and said, thinking of his grandsons, he was extremely happy. With so many grandsons, there is nothing to worry about in order to inherit the Ming Dynasty.
All this is still due to Liu Jin¡¯s original strategy. There are really many benefits to doing it later. If it is too early, the body will not develop well, and the damage will be too great.
"Speaking of Liu Jin, I heard that Liu Jin has a son who is the same age as Nanyang and will be eighteen next year. Do you think you should order someone to find out?"
As soon as Queen Zhang heard Liu Jin's name, she immediately remembered something and quickly reminded her.
In fact, she has been working on Nanyang Duke recentlyI was worried about the Lord's affairs, so I had ordered someone to compile a related list in advance, including Liu Jin's youngest son Liu Qing.
"Liu Jin still has a son who is not married?"
When Emperor Hongzhi heard this, he immediately asked.
"Liu Jin has never liked getting engaged in advance, and he has always advocated waiting until the age of eighteen to get married. Therefore, although there are many people in the government and the public who want to marry Liu Jin, it seems that the only children in his family are his eldest son. Liu Xin married the daughter of an English duke, and his second son Liu Da married the daughters of small merchants."
"It seems that even Liu Jin's daughters are basically married to ordinary children, and they were the ones I talked about when I was in college."
¡°I don¡¯t know what Liu Jin is thinking, but he allows his children to fall in love freely.¡±
Queen Zhang said with a smile, this Liu Jin is really a breath of fresh air and strange.
You must know that marriage is basically popular among officials, princes and nobles in the government and the public. The children of officials basically only marry the children of officials, and they will definitely not marry ordinary people's families.
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? out and the marriage is decided by the parents and the matchmaker. It is impossible to let these kids fall in love on their own.
But Liu Jin was different. Basically, his sons and daughters were in free love. Except for the eldest son, Liu Xin, it was the British Duke Zhang Mao who took the initiative to find Liu Jin to marry him, and Liu Jin decided on the marriage. .
¡°Other children don¡¯t have it. They are allowed to fall in love and get married to the person they like. I have to say that this is very strange, but it is also a breath of fresh air.

Free love is now quite popular in Xinxue, especially in Xinxue universities. It is basically becoming more and more popular. They are opposed to arranged marriages, baby kisses, etc. They advocate free love and pay attention to making their own decisions in marriage matters.
"This Liu Jin's son is quite suitable."
After listening to Queen Zhang¡¯s words, Emperor Hongzhi thought about it and nodded.
It seems that Liu Jin's sons all went to modern schools. None of them went to traditional private schools or academies. Except for the eldest son Liu Xin who would succeed him as the Duke of Liao in the future, the other sons would almost all be recognized as long as they grew up. Got it overseas.
The second son Liu Da went to the South African colony, the third son Liu Cheng went to Tianzhu to work in the Western United Trading Company Colony, and the fourth son Liu Yu went to Huangjinzhou to work in the Tianjin Ocean Trading Company here in Huangjinzhou.
The fifth son Liu Ren seems to have gone to Australia, and the sixth son Liu Yi(remember this website address: www.hlnovel.com
