Chapter 1002 Everyone is like a dragon
Quilina is Sweet's second daughter. Her mother is a German from Croatia, or Austrian. Her father, Sweet, is originally from the countryside of Jimo in the Far East Empire. Therefore, Sweet's children are probably what was called a Chinese-German mixed race in the previous life. .
Both Sweet and his wife are above average in appearance, and their daughters also inherited the advantages of their parents' appearance, especially whether it is the eldest daughter Anna, the younger daughter Quilina, or Sweet's son Klein, with their good looks. In the 21st century, it is considered relatively high level.
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 Quilina, then I have no objection. I grew up with 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.
"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 sparse, Constantine and Ernst were basically nailed to Africa. There is no time to deal with Europe at all.
The same goes for Karina. Like European court women in the 19th century, they were either attending banquets or on their way to banquets. Since Karina married Ernst, she has basically become a sister to the European aristocracy. So far, Karina has only returned to the Austro-Hungarian Empire to visit relatives twice. The last time she went to see off her grandmother, the Queen Mother Sophie.
Under this situation, communication between the Rhine royal family and the entire European nobility could only be through letters and telegrams. Among them, the closest contact was with the Habsburg royal family. However, the Habsburg royal family has not had anyone of the same age who is suitable for Friedrich in recent years. Female, otherwise the possibility of the two countries marrying again is extremely high.
Of course, the genes of European aristocrats are also relatively mixed, mainly because there are many **** 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 his previous life and his cognitive level is a little higher than that of contemporary people. In Ernst's view, various hereditary diseases are not what some European aristocrats view. 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 nobleman, the status of an East African Duke is only Those royal families can compare.”
East Africa is a big country after all, so the dukes in East Africa cannot be compared to small countries. Therefore, as the canonized duke of East Africa, Sweet is also a heavyweight in Europe.
However, Ernst said: "Actually, Sweet should be considered a traditional aristocrat!"
"?" Karina and Friedrich did not understand Ernst's words.
Lu is actually Jiang Ziya's surname, and Jiang is his surname. Later, the surnames of the Far Eastern Empire were unified, so it doesn't matter how he is called.
As for the theory that Sweet is a descendant of a noble, there is certainly 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 traditional European aristocrats, so it is not too much to give their future daughter-in-law Quirina a traditional aristocrat of the Far Eastern Empire, or a princess status of a millennium aristocrat. ?
In fact, having said that, 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 Zhou 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 Siweite, the Siweite family is not only a traditional aristocrat of the Far Eastern Empire, but also an emerging aristocrat in East Africa, and is more genuine than European aristocrats.
Karina knew that her husband had done a lot of "research" on 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 this was the case. I was also worried that Quilina's status would be easily looked down upon by European aristocrats. I didn't expect her family to have such a historical background!"
"Yes! I haven't said this to Quilina before. Sure enough, 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 huge, 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 royal family doesn’t have as long a history as the original Sweet family.”
In Ernst's view, everyone in the Far Eastern Empire was like a dragon. Unlike Europe and other regions where social hierarchies were strict, even the emperor, the supreme being in Europe, the common people of the Far Eastern Empire could strive for superiority through their own efforts. After all, princes and generals would I would rather have the guts. Of course, this kind of thinking will definitely not be publicized in East Africa.
Although many of the immigrants in East Africa came from the Far Eastern Empire, it can be said that they did not know as much about the Far Eastern Empire as Ernst, because before immigrating to East Africa, many people may have never left the village in their lives, and most of them were illiterate in the Far Eastern Empire and had little understanding of the outside world. It is also very limited. The way for most rural areas to understand history is through various legends, operas and interpretations.
