Chapter 268
Linglong said, "Yes, I will pay attention."

The queen mother said again: "The emperor has already set a draft for next year. The daughters of our Yu clan's generation are the youngest of yours. Those who should marry are all married, and most of the next generation are not old enough to be drafted. It's you The daughter of the distant cousin's family, that is, your cousin Luo Lin, because the funeral of the late emperor and the empress Yuanxian collided with each other, causing the draft to be delayed again and again. This year is already seventeen, and next year will be eighteen. If not You will become an old girl when you think about it, so your cousin begged Aijia to come here, hoping that Aijia can take care of you."

After hearing this, Linglong felt a little confused: "My distant cousin? Do you still want my cousin Luo Lin?"

In her memory, there are a lot of cousins, and there is no such thing as a distant cousin.

The cousin is the mother's sister, but her mother is the only daughter of the maternal grandfather's family, and she happens to be the only daughter in the same generation of the grandfather's relative's family. She has neither cousins ​​nor cousins. ?

The Queen Mother was not surprised by Linglong's reaction.

She smiled and said: "Your distant cousin has no blood relationship with you. She is the cousin of your aunt's family, which belongs to the patriarchal cousin relationship. The relationship between your aunt's family is complicated. No wonder you don't know it. Not a cousin of the biological mother's family, no blood relationship to maintain, she can't directly ask you, so she came to the palace to find Ai's family."

Linglong suddenly realized that she was a cousin of the aunt's family, no wonder she didn't have the slightest impression.

She is a modern person who thinks that only sisters from her mother's natal family are cousins, but she forgot that in ancient times there was a distinction between wives, concubines and concubines. A daughter of a concubine has two cousins, one is the biological mother and the other is the aunt's. , and the patriarchal status of the aunt's cousin who is not related by blood is higher than that of the biological mother's cousin.

For example, Tanchun in "Dream of Red Mansions", the aunt is Mrs. Wang, and the biological mother is Aunt Zhao, so Mrs. Wang's brother Wang Ziteng and Aunt Zhao's brother Zhao Guoji are both her uncles, but Tanchun only admits that Wang Ziteng is her uncle. It is because the status of the aunt's branch is higher than that of the birth mother in terms of patriarchal clan.

It's just that the name of cousin Lorraine sounds so familiar, where did she seem to hear it?I can't remember it for a while.

Linglong hurriedly said: "Then how does the cousin's family want the queen mother to take care of her?"

The Empress Dowager said: "Your cousin knows that her family is not a prominent family. She neither dared to expect her daughter to marry into a high-ranking family as a legal wife, nor did she want to enter the palace to seek wealth and honor in heaven. She only wants to marry a decent family. If the man is honest, honest and considerate, it doesn't matter even if his family background is close."

Linglong sighed unknowingly: "I don't want glory and wealth, I just want my daughter to marry a good man. Aunt Biao is an honest person."

The Empress Dowager nodded: "Yes, the Ai family saw that she was so sincere and wholeheartedly cared for her daughter, so they agreed to this matter. After all, it was a relative affair."

Linglong nodded, and asked again: "By the way, queen mother, what's the name of my cousin?"

The more she listened, the more she felt that the name Luo Lin was very familiar, as if she had heard it somewhere in the previous life, but after thinking about it, she felt that it was wrong. The previous life was the previous life, and this life was the present life. It was impossible to tell. How could she have heard the name Luo Lin before? Woolen cloth?

The Queen Mother said: "Her, she seems to be called...Yan...Yan, what is it..."

Ting Lan reminded: "Mother, her name is Yanji."
