Chapter 373: Uninvited.
Chapter 373: Uninvited.
Hearing this, Liu Yuntian couldn't help but widen his eyes, his face full of disbelief. He stared at his father blankly and asked, "Propose marriage?"
Liu Ziqing smiled and nodded, and answered firmly: "That's right! In order to ensure the continuation of the pure and powerful bloodline of the dragon clan, our Liu family has had an unwritten rule since ancient times - every other generation, the children of the Liu family must marry with the boa clan."
"Of course, your generation doesn't have to marry into the Anaconda tribe. I always thought you might end up with that little girl from the Qi family..."
When he said this, Liu Ziqing suddenly paused, because he knew very well that if he continued to talk about this matter, it would definitely hurt his son's heart deeply.
But some things still have to be faced.
Liu Ziqing, who had been carefully planning and skillfully arranging things throughout his life, did everything in the hope of creating a living environment for his son without any worries, so that he could live his life freely and happily.
However, what he never expected was that his son's ambition and extraordinary ability far exceeded his original expectations.
Qi Xue's existence is a weak spot for her son.
And as time goes by, this weakness is slowly turning into a fatal weakness.
It is just like his son is planning how to obtain the heavenly way at this moment. As an ordinary mortal, he wanted to cross the class and become an immortal. There is absolutely no room for even the slightest mistake.
The embankment of a thousand miles collapsed in the ant nest.
From the very beginning, this road was destined to be a road of endless dangers, a road of no return from which there would be no turning back once embarked upon.
The Qi family is undoubtedly one of the biggest uncertainties that his son faces on this difficult and dangerous journey.
You know, the Qi family and the Liu family are both the pillars of the Liang State. If something goes wrong or unexpected happens to the Qi family, the Liu family will inevitably be seriously implicated and affected.
So at this moment, Liu Ziqing was particularly able to sympathize and understand the great pain his son must have endured deep in his heart when he had to kill his beloved with his own hands.
Seeing his son's mood gradually deteriorating, Liu Ziqing could only smile and pat his shoulder, "Your mother and I are planning to choose a husband for you. There are many choices in your generation."
"Unlike your father and I, who could only choose your mother."
Liu Yuntian's mouth twitched, he glanced at his father and said dissatisfiedly, "I think mother marrying you..."
"kindness?"
Looking at his father who was fuming and glaring, Liu Yuntian compromised directly, "They are quite a good match..."
"That's good enough!" Liu Ziqing nodded with satisfaction.
I never expected that even after traveling to another world, I still couldn't escape the annoying fate of being urged to get married.
Liu Yuntian sighed helplessly.
In this world, the Heavenly Dao firmly guards the barrier of ascension and regards all people in the world as its food.
If someone desires to ascend to become an immortal, he must first overcome the insurmountable hurdle of the Heavenly Dao.
However, if they unfortunately fail, even if they leave behind descendants, they will probably be killed by the wrath of heaven in the end.
Liu Yuntian really didn't have any expectations for the so-called marriage.
Unfortunately, in this era, people's thinking is extremely conservative. Especially in today's environment where the family system is prevalent, inheriting the incense and continuing the family bloodline are regarded as top priorities.
At this moment, his father's voice reached Liu Yuntian's ears: "Your mother and I will hold a grand wife selection meeting for you. If you are interested, you can come and take a look."
Hearing this, Liu Yuntian couldn't help but frown, and the scene of aristocratic families choosing wives that he had witnessed when he was a child suddenly emerged in his mind.
Usually, powerful families would attract many other families to attach themselves to them.
Therefore, these families would carefully select their own women and send them to the wife-selection site.
The criteria for choosing a wife are also varied. Not only must one consider whether the woman's figure and appearance are outstanding, but also the benefits and losses that the family behind her can bring must be weighed.
After a group of women who are quite suitable in all aspects are finally screened out, it is the man's turn to make a choice.
Of course, if the two families are equally powerful and well-matched, then there is naturally no question of choosing a wife.
The elders of both parties often make the decision on the marriage directly, saving many tedious procedures.
In that era, marriages were often not based on love.
Even newlyweds who are about to enter their wedding night may never have seen each other's faces before.
Not to mention true love.
If a man finds that he has no feelings for his partner after marriage, he will never abandon his wife easily.
The reason for this is that wives and husbands have equal status in the family and they enjoy the respect and rights they deserve.
However, concubines were completely different. At best, they were servants of slightly higher status.
The situation of some concubines was even more miserable than that of ordinary servants, and it was normal for them to be beaten to death by the wife.
Completely in a humble state of dependence on the male master.
For the male owner, the concubine is almost like an object and can be played with at will.
Once they lose interest, they will give it to others like discarding an old toy, or exchange it for other benefits.
But the Liu family is an exception. This family has always firmly adhered to the monogamy system.
The reason for this insistence is, on the one hand, to ensure the purity of the family bloodline, and on the other hand, to be able to pass on the dragon heart intactly.
This tradition has been deeply rooted in the hearts of every generation of the Liu family and has become an insurmountable family rule and motto.
Thinking of this, Liu Yuntian felt upset and had no expectations at all for the upcoming wife-selection conference.
"Mr. Liu, the list is ready."
At this moment, a Jinyiwei appeared not far away and knelt on one knee respectfully.
"Where are they gathering?" Liu Yuntian's eyes fell on the pond without looking back.
"I was in charge of the grain department, the Minister of Agriculture, and at the home of the elder, holding a banquet on the pretext of his mother's eightieth birthday."
Hearing this, Liu Yuntian couldn't help but sneer and shook his head speechlessly, "Hasn't his mother been dead for more than ten years?"
"You're really naughty..."
After thinking for a moment, Liu Yuntian raised his lips slightly, "Have you invited me?"
"This... doesn't happen."
"Is that so? Then it's no wonder that I came here uninvited!"
