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 have 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 to be relatively high-level.
So this little brat Friedrich must have been motivated by sex! Ernst cursed in his heart. In fact, Ernst himself was also a good-looking person, so he was quite pleased with his son's choice. His own piglets had learned how to do it themselves, and they became other people's cabbages.
"If it's Quelina, then I have no objection. I grew up relying on that girl and know everything about her. 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 were qualified princesses in the German countries, Ernst would not mind marrying his son, even if he did not want to, but he had not found a good candidate over the 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 incest 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 previous lives and his cognitive level is a little higher than that of contemporary people. In Ernst's view, various hereditary diseases are not as good as those of some European nobles. It may be proof of pure blood. Among other things, 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 aristocrat, the status of an East African Duke is the only one in Europe. Those royal families can compare.”
After all, East Africa is a big country, 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 noble!"
"?" Karina and Friedrich didn't understand Ernst's words.
Ernst continued: "Although Sweet has been following me for a long time, his Far Eastern surname is Lu. The surname Lu has a very long history in the Far Eastern Empire, at least for thousands of years. The third empire in the Far East recorded in Far Eastern historical materials is also It is Jiang Ziya, the auxiliary minister of the founding monarch of the Zhou Dynasty. His name is Jiang Shang, and he can also be called Lu Shang. He can be compared to a figure like Bismarck in Germany. His descendants have the surname Lu, and Sweet is theoretically a descendant of the Xia Dynasty in the Far East Empire. The kings of the vassal countries of the dynasty can be understood as those small countries in Shenjun, so Siweite is naturally Hou Yi, a nobleman of the Far East Empire. "
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 definitely no big problem. After all, everyone in the Far East 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 just 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 from the Far Eastern Empire, or a princess status from a thousand-year-old aristocrat. ?
In fact, Ernst's family in his previous life also had a genealogy. It can be said that many genealogies of the Far Eastern Empire can be traced back to the era of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, and the next is the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties. This is common.
So Ernst has every reason to believe and confirm that Siwei Te is the same as himself in his previous life, and even everyone in the entire Far Eastern Empire has aristocratic blood.
Of course, Ernst is just bullying his wife and son for not understanding the history and national conditions of the Far Eastern Empire. However, Karina and Friedrich are not clear, so European nobles certainly are not clear either. So Ernst said that Siwei Te is a Far Eastern noble, so he is a Far Eastern noble, and Siwei Te's daughter is naturally a Far Eastern noble.
In addition to the canonization of Siwei Te by East Africa, Siwei Te's family is not only a traditional noble of the Far Eastern Empire, but also a new noble of East Africa, which is more genuine than European nobles.
Karina knew that her husband had "researched" the history of the Far Eastern Empire and was a recognized authority in Sinology, so she did not question it.
She said, "If that's the case, it's great. I was worried that Quirina's identity would be easily despised by European nobles, but I didn't expect her family to have such a historical background!"
"Yes! I didn't say that to Quirina before. Orientals are really too low-key!" Friedrich said.
Ernst pretended to be serious and said, "There's nothing strange about it. The Far Eastern Empire has a population of 300 to 400 million, and it has a long history. There have been many dynasties and ancient countries. With this historical background, the accumulated noble descendants are also huge, so you can just treat the Siweit family as the declining nobles of the Far Eastern Empire. It's almost the same as the Bourbon royal family today, but the Bourbon royal family doesn't have a long history like the Siweit family."
In Ernst's view, everyone in the Far Eastern Empire is like a dragon. Unlike Europe and other regions where the social hierarchy is strict, even the emperor, who is supreme in Europe, the civilians of the Far Eastern Empire can strive for the throne through their own efforts. After all, kings, princes, generals and ministers are of different species. Of course, this idea will definitely not be promoted in East Africa.
Although many immigrants in East Africa came from the Far Eastern Empire, it can be said that they know less about the Far Eastern Empire than Ernst does. This is because before immigrating to East Africa, many of them may have never left the village in their entire lives, and most of them are illiterate in the Far Eastern Empire and have limited knowledge of the outside world. Most rural areas still learn about history through various legends, operas and performances.
