Chapter 626 It's Safe to Sell
After listening to the middle-aged uncle with one leg, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
You say that you are the sister of Zhuangzi, that is not good, according to the law of the Song Kingdom, when a girl reaches the age of marriage law, you must marry, and no one has privileges.
In this Warring States Period, when population is the productive forces and national strength, what is most needed and lacking is population.
And the source of the population, only women can give birth, and a woman can give birth to a child in more than a year. Unlike men, one man can make many women have children.
So! If you want to increase the population rapidly, women are the treasure of treasures, and one more woman is equal to more than a dozen children. No matter how low the survival rate of babies is, at least how many children will survive, right?
So! Not only the Song Kingdom, but also all the vassal states of the Great Zhou Dynasty had this unwritten rule. When a girl reaches marriageable age, she must marry and have children.
Of course! Not absolutely. For example, in places and countries with saturated populations (the lacquer gardens of the Song Kingdom), for example, in the event of famine, for example, in the era of peace and prosperity and no war, the state did not force the people to marry and have children.
Following the middle-aged uncle with one leg, many people stood up and said that they heard the rumor that Zhuangzi took in a younger sister when he was in Qiyuan. said that Zhuangzi said: Selling his son is his sister now, and he will be his wife in the future.
Some people also directly proved that it had been rumored for a long time that the woman who sold her child was the woman of Zhuangzi. Oh? So she's that woman, huh? Really! Pretty!
"That's it! Isn't he beautiful Zhuangzi he receives? ”
"The two of them should have made a private agreement for life (cohabitation)......"
Zhuangzi's reputation and deeds in the lacquer garden have long been spread all over the world. Nature! The story of Zhuangzi and selling children also spread all over the world.
When the official surnamed Niu saw that everyone came out to prove it, he was just under the soup, and the matter was over. Under the pressure of the seller and everyone, the official surnamed Niu promised that he would not come to trouble the seller again. Again! After confirming that it was Zhuangzi's woman, even if he borrowed a few courages, he didn't dare to come to the trouble of selling children again.
After the official surnamed Niu and his party left, many people who watched the excitement left. Only those who had been helped by Zhuangzi and those who had been helped by the Mojia branch of the altar stayed behind and asked about the situation of Zhuangzi and the Mohists.
The Mojia branch altar has been set up here for decades, and the disciples of the Mohist family have been of great help to the people around them. Mojia's poultry and others have an excellent reputation in this area.
Although Zhuangzi does not have much favor to the people around him, his father Zhuang is not named, Dai Liu'er, and he still has a certain reputation here. Many people heard that the seller was a woman of Zhuangzi, so they naturally came to inquire about Zhuangzi's situation.
These people all grew up watching Zhuangzi and watched Zhuangzi follow Yang Zhu. is extremely optimistic about the young Zhuang Zhou.
Again! Zhuangzi came back from the mountain and gave many favors to many people. And also! Zhuangzi's affairs in the lacquer garden made these people also admire.
There were also a few craftsmen who saw that the yard door of the seller's house was broken, so they didn't say a word and directly helped repair it.
Seeing that everyone was so good to her, Mai'er was moved to cry again, and regained her sassy personality.
Looking at the sneer's snorting appearance, Zhuangzi shook his head and smiled. Sister Mai'er is like this, as long as others are good to her, she is very satisfied and grateful, and she is so moved.
"I don't know? Whining! ”
"I don't know? I really don't know! Whining! ”
"Brother Zhuang will be back soon! Brother Zhuang went to pick up Sister Rong'er. Whining! ”
“……”
When others asked her, she didn't know anything, but said that Brother Zhuang would be back soon.
"Rong'er? You say Rong'er? Bird Slippery's granddaughter Rong'er, that little girl? She's alive? ”
"I heard Brother Zhuang say, she should still be alive? I don't know? ”
"You just said? Yang Zhu's predecessor also has a granddaughter at home? What is it called? Yang Qing'er? ”
"I heard Brother Zhuang say that he is going to find her this time! I don't know? ”
"You just said? Zhuang Zhou's mother is still alive? Is Dai Liu'er still alive? ”
"Hmmm! I heard what Brother Zhuang said, my mother is still alive. ”
"That's great! Dai Liu'er and Dai sister are still alive! Woowoo woo ......"
Hearing that Dai Liu'er was still alive, an elderly woman burst into tears of joy. Can you imagine how much favor Dai Liuer once gave her?
It was almost noon to send these people away. The doors and frames of the courtyard outside had already been repaired. And the person who repaired it didn't say a word, and left after repairing it. The seller closed the courtyard door and went back to the hall.
"Come out, all of you! Toss the sale today! Alas! As she spoke, she sat down in her chair and gasped.
"Sell! You're amazing! Sell! ”
From the roof of the hall where people could hide, the black-clothed senior brother jumped down. The black-clothed senior brother smiled and kept praising the seller.
"Ahh It's dangerous! Master! I'm in a hurry to make a move, you? Yes! Terrific! Kung Fu has grown again! ”
"Yes! Oh, yes! was just one, two, three, and the eight officials were put down by Shi Niang. ”
The two brothers, who were begging for half and begging, also came down from downstairs and praised the mightiness of the teacher.
Master? These two guys are called selling their children's mothers?
Seeing Mai'er talking to the black-clothed senior brother, the beggar half, and the beggar, Zhuangzi did not appear, and hid to the side, listening to them.
On the Qi side, since Zhuangzi said that he wanted to return to the Qi Garden, no one dared to disturb him. By the next day, Zhuangzi was still sitting there cross-legged like that, motionless. Rong Er and Yang Qing'er were distressed to death when they saw their men not eating or drinking like that.
By noon, Zhuangzi had not yet woken up, and Yang Qing'er was so anxious that she wanted to wake up Zhuangzi, but was stopped by Rong'er.
"If Brother Zhuang doesn't wake up, there must be something important! Don't bother him. ”
"Then he's not hungry?" Yang Qing'er asked.
"Can he eat in the inner world?"
"Then he'll wake up hungry."
"Then let the little sister prepare food for Brother Zhuang, and Brother Zhuang will be able to eat when he wakes up."
"Hmm!" Yang Qing'er agreed, and hurriedly beckoned her little sister and asked her to prepare Zhuang Zhou's food.
The black-clothed senior brother, the beggar half, and the beggar were divided into three people, and they were touted before they stopped. Naturally, she was so happy that she was moved by tears. Seeing that the three of them were very good to the seller and had no crooked thoughts, Zhuangzi was relieved.
He wasn't jealous, he wasn't worried about the black-clothed brother, the beggar half, and the beggar who were plotting against them. But! I really can't rest assured about selling. Now that it's okay, there are three people in black, the beggar half, and the beggar who are secretly protecting the seller, and he is relieved.
Seeing that the four of them didn't say what he wanted to hear, Zhuangzi was in a hurry and had to find an opportunity to invade the brain system of the seller.
"Brother Zhuang! "Seeing that it was Brother Zhuang, Mai'er naturally cried with a sigh of ......."
"Go! Get me something to eat, I'm going to eat! ”
