Chapter 398： Parents want to cut off?

Because it is a very good personal relationship, and Marin knew that the other party would become the Grand Duke of Lithuania and Poland Щщш..lā, therefore, Marin attached great importance to Prince Zigmont's visit and accompanied him personally. Even, at the dinner, they also brought their parents to accompany.

Prince Siegmont liked Marin ’s “invented” Earl milk tea very much. Marin asked him what he wanted to drink, and he chose “Earl milk tea” without hesitation. So, Marin took out tea, sucrose and fresh milk, and immediately boiled it.

In order to entertain Prince Siegmont well, Marin let the chef in the palace take out his special skill and made a table of dishes. The first is the black pepper steak, which has been cooked to the fullest. To be honest, Lithuania is not short of cattle, it is a big country for raising cattle. After all, the Ukrainian steppe is now under Lithuanian control. However, Lithuania's cooking skills are also very low, either roasting or cooking, and wasting the beef in good order. Marin's fried steak with olive oil is indeed more advanced than Lithuanian cooking.

In addition, Marin also served beer roast duck and white-cut chicken that were not particularly authentic. However, these two dishes also ate Prince Siegmont.

In addition, Marin also brought out some truffles that were frozen and shipped back from France, and caviar carefully marinated by the master chef of Julius II brought back from Italy.

These two great dishes also attracted Prince Siegmont strongly. Fortunately, Prince Ziegmont had a good education and did not overeating. After all, this is going out as a guest, not too rude. However, before finishing a meal, he asked Malin for a cook—obviously, he wanted to eat more often in the future ...

Marin also has the intention to make a good relationship with this future king of Poland, so he naturally agreed. Moreover, sending a cook in the past can also act as a spy and explore the intelligence there.

When left, Prince Siegmont stared reluctantly at the unfinished dishes on the table. However, he was restrained, only a few glances, but only Marin saw it.

When returning to the guest room to rest, Prince Sigmund made a decision to take a while in East Friesland and taste the delicious food here ...

After Prince Ziegmont left, Marin originally wanted to go back to rest, but the old Hoffmans and his wife pulled them together ...

Marin is unknown, but the old Huffman looked at Marin with a fanatical look and asked;

"Marin, this Prince Siegmont is a prince of a big country! I heard that he is not married yet?"

"Yeah, he is the brother of the King of Poland and the Grand Duke Alexander of Lithuania. In the future, he may inherit the Polish throne and the Grand Duke of Lithuania ..." Marin casually said. He was clear that Grand Duke Alexander would burp next year, and by then, Prince Sigmund would become Sigmund I.

"Really ... really?" Marin suddenly found that old Huffman's voice was trembling.

"Of course it is true, why am I lying to you?" Marin felt a little inexplicable.

However, the old Hoffman did not pay attention to Marin, but glanced at him in a tacit understanding with Mrs. Mary, then nodded in unison.

After a short pause, the old Hoffman asked carefully:

"Marlin, look, our family, Anne, is it as good as this Prince Siegmont?"

"What? Annie? Daddy, have you made a mistake? Prince Siegmont is 38 years old, and Anne is 19 years old, only half the age of Prince Siegmont!" Marin almost jumped up.

"What's the difference? It's only 19 years old. Which of the king's and the duke's successors is not 20 or 30 years younger than her husband? Moreover, it is not very popular for princes to marry teenage wives in their 30s Really? "Old Huffman said disapprovingly. On the side, Mrs. Mary also nodded her head, agreeing with the old Huffman.

Marin thought for a while, and found that Old Huffman was really right. In this era, aristocratic men are often married in their 20s or 30s (of course there are early marriages, but they are usually after the age of 20), but most noble girls are married before the age of 20. . Over 20 years old, definitely an old girl.

Speaking, Anne is 19 years old and it is the best time for a girl. But the old Hoffman couple was very worried about Anne's marriage. Although Simon was not engaged, the old Hoffmans were not in a hurry. Because it ’s okay for boys to get married a few years later, but girls do n’t get married early, it ’s easy to delay.

But the biggest problem is that the Huffman family is so special. This family relied on Marin's sudden rise a few years ago and relied on force to change from a cavalier family to an earl family.

However, the old Hoffmans were only low-level nobles, and did not establish any friendship with those old big nobles. Marin had a good relationship with John II, Duke of Cliff, but unfortunately, the son of John II was only 14 years old, and he did not match Anne. Moreover, John II had already chosen a daughter-in-law for her son, Maria, the only daughter of William IV, Duke of William in the Principality of Julich and Berg Even, both parties have already signed a marriage contract.

This marriage has brought great benefits to the Lamarck family-the Lamarck family has changed from owning the Principality of Cliff and Markber to the simultaneous possession of the Principality of Cliff, Marker, Juillich and Berg It is a powerful family in the princely kingdom.

Moreover, these four vassal states are all agricultural countries in the Rhine River Basin, and they are relatively rich. It can be said that through this marriage, the Lamarck family has made a profit.

Therefore, it is impossible for John II to let his son marry Anne, who is five years old. After all, Anne has no land to marry ...

Moreover, even the second brother of John II, Earl Engelbert of Nevers, had long been married and had no children. As for the third head of the Philippe family of the Lamarck family, they are monks and will never marry for life ...

So, in this case, the Huffman family wanted to find the marriage of the big aristocratic family with the right family ~ www.novelhall.com ~ It seems difficult ...

It happened that through this banquet, the old Hoffman learned that the prince Siegmont was the brother of Alexander, the king of Poland and the Grand Duke of Lithuania, so he used his brain ...

Although Prince Siegmont is slightly older, in European nobility, it is not considered to be older than 40 years old. Even if you are old, as long as the title is high, everything is not a problem ...

Especially, just after Marin told the old Hoffman couple-this prince Ziegmont might become the king of Poland and the Grand Duke of Lithuania, the old Huffman breathed immediately. Even Mrs. Mary, who was usually calm, was a little excited ...

"Marin, you said, if we marry Anne to Prince Siegmont, will Anne become Queen of Poland and Grand Duchess of Lithuania in the future?" Old Hoffman asked with shortness of breath.

Marin answered without thinking:

"That's of course, Grand Duke Alexander's body is not very good, maybe it will be hanged in a few years. Prince Sigmund's life habits are more restrained, and his body is better, he can certainly inherit the throne. If Anne marries in the past, it will definitely become a queen ... … "

"What are you waiting for? Marin, your mother and I have given you a difficult task-we must let Anne marry Prince Siegmont! Our Huffman family, we will have a queen!" Old Huffman was excited Shouted.

Looking at the old Hoffman with red eyes, Marin felt that as long as he dared to refuse, the old man might hack himself alive ...) !!
