Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 88 Everyone under the age of is a child
  Hong Lian, who got Gu Xun's accurate letter, was so happy that she took him shopping.

As it turns out, this is what she remembers most clearly.

Gu Xun didn't intend to break his promise, and he would do it as promised. Unfortunately, the weather was not good, and another accident occurred, and Zi Nu sent someone to find Gu Xun.

"Mr. Gu, Sister Zinu asked you to go there and said she wanted to see you if she had something to do."

Gu Xun looked at the petite maid in goose yellow clothes in front of him and asked:
  "Hong Yu, do you know what she wants from me?"

Hong Yu shook her head, "I don't know about that. Sister Zinu didn't tell me, but it shouldn't be an emergency."

"That's it..." Gu Xun pondered for a while and decided not to go to Zilanxuan to see Zinu.

I promised Xiaohonghua that I couldn't break my promise, and it wouldn't be too late to meet again after dinner.

"You go back first and tell Zi Nu that I have something to do and I can't see her until after dinner."

Hong Yu shook her little head, indicating that she understood, and left without saying anything else.

Gu Xun is regarded as half a boss by almost all the employees of Zilanxuan. No one will say anything about anything he does, especially the matter between him and Zi Nu.

Honglian watched the two of them communicate from the side, and surprisingly she never interrupted, but the fierce light in her eyes showed that she didn't have any ideas.

After Gu Xun sent Hong Yu to deliver the message, and only Gu Xun and Hong Lian were alone in the room again, she revealed her true colors, rushed to Gu Xun, grabbed his collar, and asked in a low voice:

"What does that woman have to do with you just now?"

"It doesn't matter. She's just running errands to deliver a message." Gu Xun looked innocent. He was really innocent.

Honglian did not continue to question Hongyu. Judging from the exchange between the two just now, she was indeed just a messenger, but the other person's name was more important, or suspicious - to Honglian.

"Who are you, the purple girl she was talking about?"

"Uh... a business partner." Gu Xun still looked serious, but this time it was a bit pretentious, but his words were still true.

"She has some business dealings with me. In fact, she comes to me to buy medicines in large quantities."

"What kind of medicine?" Honglian asked.

"Tonic medicine, medicine to strengthen the body (in a short period of time)." This time Gu Xun's seriousness was basically disguised, but his words were still the truth.

Honglian observed Gu Xun's expression suspiciously. She felt something was wrong, but the other party had never lied to her since they met, including the fact that she had a wife and children, which made her relatively willing to believe what Gu Xun said. , plus she doesn’t have much experience in seeing people, so she didn’t find the problem in the end.

Gu Xun was slightly relieved when he saw this. Before Honglian could continue speaking, he changed the topic first:

"Are you still going shopping?"

This matter was still a high priority in Honglian's heart, and the success made her give up asking questions, "Of course I'll go shopping."

"Then let's go. I have to see her after shopping. She is my big customer, especially since her demand for medicine has been particularly high recently. I guess that's why she came to see me today."

Gu Xun's words further dispelled Hong Lian's doubts, and finally allowed her to completely... let go of the matter for the time being, and took Gu Xun out happily.

Gu Xun was also completely relieved.

Gu Xun lied to her not because he was worried about her seeing Zi Nu. He had already said that he would not attack girls under the age of eighteen, and even his wife in name was not afraid of her knowing, let alone Zi Nu who had nothing.

The main reason is that she is afraid that if she knows the specific details, she will go to Zilanxuan to join in the fun. Although Gu Xun did not mean to look down on Zilanxuan, it was not appropriate for Honglian, a princess, to go there, especially with the imperial army following behind her.

If the imperial army stopped her from going, she would have to explain to the little girl where Zilanxuan was and why she couldn't enter. Then the thin-skinned little girl would get angry, and the trouble would all be Gu Xun's fault.

And if the Imperial Army hadn't stopped her. Later, King Han knew that whether Gu Xun was in trouble or not was secondary, Zilanxuan would definitely be in trouble.

It's all a matter anyway, so it's better to deceive Gu Xun, and it's better to have one less thing than one more thing. Besides, what Gu Xun said is all the truth, but the wording has been slightly modified to beautify it.

………………

Gu Xun arrived at Zilanxuan at the end of noon time on time.

After...a few days, Gu Xun saw Zi Nu again. She was as graceful and elegant as usual. To sum up, nothing had changed, including her hairstyle and clothes.

Anyway, people in the Qin Dynasty did not change their clothes, which was normal.

Gu Xun sat down on the chair and asked lazily:
  "What do you want from me?"

Since Gu Xun often visited and didn't like to sit on his knees, Zi Nu specially arranged a few chairs in the guest room.

Needless to say, after getting used to sitting, Zi Nu also felt that it was more comfortable than sitting on her knees. However, after all, it did not conform to the etiquette rules of the world. It would be considered disrespectful to use it to meet guests. Only Jian Guxun has such a close relationship that there is no need to care about etiquette. Only people can use it.

Zi Nu was also sitting on the back chair, her posture was relaxed, her legs were tightly bent along the edge of the chair to the ground, her hands were placed on her plump thighs, and she stared at Gu Xun with a pair of narrow phoenix eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling:

"Mr. Gu has been living a very lively life recently. He even went on a parade with Her Royal Highness Princess Honglian. Did you have a lot of fun?"

Gu Xun waved his hands, as if he couldn't hear the deep meaning of Zi Nu's words at all, and said with a stern face, "Generally speaking, Xinzheng City is so big, I have visited all the places I can visit, what's the point?"

"Shopping is naturally boring, but it's different when you're with a beautiful woman." Zi Nu didn't stop and continued to tease Gu Xun.

Gu Xun pretended to be suddenly enlightened, "Oh, what kind of beauty are you talking about Honglian? She is just a little girl of fifteen or sixteen years old." Although this little girl is very well developed.

"As far as I am concerned, everyone under the age of 18 is a child. It is impossible for me to have inappropriate thoughts about children."

In the end, Gu Xun pretended to look down on Zi Nu, "Zi Nu, your thinking is very wrong, you think too much."

Purple Girl:? ? ?
  Under eighteen, kid?

It's okay to call someone under eight years old a child.

At eighteen years old, if she is a good childbearer, she might have two children.

Population, as the most important labor force in ancient times, has always been insufficient, and it was even more scarce when countries competed for diplomatic relations. This was true from the pre-Qin Dynasty to the Sui and Tang Dynasties. Therefore, widows are generally not allowed to engage in any operations to keep chastity and death. They must Remarriage was not allowed to happen until the rise of Neo-Confucianism in the Song and Ming Dynasties... probably because the population was relatively large.

Although there were a lot of messy things in the world of the Qin Dynasty, the population did not differ much from the official history. In other words, women generally got married after the age of fifteen and the hairpin ceremony. The hairpin ceremony itself was equivalent to an adult ceremony, representing adulthood. Naturally, we should start a family.

Some families will get married even earlier, with their children getting married at the age of twelve or thirteen.

People like Zi Nu and Jing Salamander... No, although Jing Salamander has not gotten married, she has already given birth to a child... People like Zi Nu who have not gotten married after twenty years of age are really unusual. The government usually imposes a fine. of.

　So suspenseful, so suspenseful, almost too late
