Chapter 87: Children under the age of eighteen are all children
Hong Lian was so happy to get Gu Xun’s letter that she wanted to take him shopping.
It turns out that this is what she remembers most clearly.
Gu Xun didn't intend to break her promise, and she would do it as she promised. Unfortunately, the weather was not favorable and another accident occurred. Zi Nu sent people to find Gu Xun.
"Mr. Gu, Sister Zinu asked you to go there and said she wanted to see you if I have something."
Gu Xun looked at the petite maid in goose yellow clothes in front of him and asked:
"Hongyu, do you know what she wants from me?"
Hong Yu shook her head, "I don't know about this. 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 meet Zinu.
I promised Little Red Flower, I can’t break my promise, it’s not too late to see you again after dinner.
"You go back first and tell Zi Nu that I have something to do and I have to wait until after dinner to see her."
Hongyu 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 Zi Lan Xuan. No one will say anything about anything he does, especially the matter between him and Zi Nu.
Honglian watched the two of them communicating 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: <
/p>
"What does that woman have to do with you just now?"
"It doesn't matter, she's just helping to run errands and deliver a message." Gu Xun looked innocent. This is really innocent.
Honglian did not continue to question Hongyu. Looking at the exchange between the two, 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, which means 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 true.
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.
Seeing this, Gu Xun breathed a sigh of relief. Before Honglian could continue speaking, he changed the topic:
"Are you going shopping yet?"
This matter was still a high priority in Honglian's heart, and it successfully 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 that she would see 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 a princess like Honglian to go there, especially with the imperial army following behind her.
If the imperial army stops her from going, she will have to explain to the little girl where Zilanxuan is and why she can't enter. Then the thin-skinned little girl will get angry, and the trouble will all be Gu Xun's fault.
And if the imperial army had not stopped her, then when the King of Han knew about it, whether Gu Xun was in trouble or not was second to none, 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 still as graceful and elegant as usual. To sum it up briefly, nothing had changed, including her hairstyle and clothes.
Anyway, people in the world during 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 visits and doesn't like to sit on his knees, Zi Nu specially arranged a few chairs in the living 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 comply with 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: p>
"Mr. Gu has been living a carefree life recently. He even paraded 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 serious face, "In general, Xinzheng City is so big, I have visited all the places I can visit, what's the point?"
"Shopping is naturally boring, but it is different when you are accompanied by a beautiful woman." Zi Nu did not 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 girl of fifteen or sixteen years old." Although this little girl is developing very well.
"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 despise Zi Nu, "Zi Nu, your thinking is very wrong, you think too much."
Purple Girl:???
Under 18 years old, children?
It’s okay to call someone under eight years old a child.
At the age of 18, if he is a good childbearer, he might have two children.
Population, as the most important labor force in ancient times, has always been insufficient. It is even more scarce when countries are competing 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 maintain chastity and death. They must
Remarriage was not allowed until the rise of Neo-Confucianism in the Song and Ming Dynasties... It was probably because the population was relatively large that this situation was allowed to happen.
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 they were fifteen years old and had hairpins. The hairpin ceremony itself was equivalent to an adult ceremony and represented adulthood.
Naturally, we should start a family.
And 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.
