Zhao Jun harbored an unknown secret: she was an online friend with His Highness the First Emperor from thousands of years ago. Every time she sent him cheap items like water cups and glass, she cou...
The afterglow of the New Year celebrations still permeates the entire Xianyang.
The shock was especially great for foreign businessmen.
After a good rest, Zhao Jun and Xiao He and others carried out the finishing work.
Some of the lanterns were removed, but some of the remaining lanterns in the small streets and alleys were preserved.
The dismantled lanterns were not wasted and were given away by Zhao Jun to passers-by.
In the next few days, Zhao Jun attended several banquets in the palace, and then stayed in the house to rest.
Time passes quietly. After the New Year's rest and celebration, people have to start working hard for the new year again.
Zhao Jun has been very relaxed recently. He eats and drinks all day long and chats with friends from other worlds.
The New Year is almost over and it’s time to start work, but Zhao Jun doesn’t have anything to do for the time being.
Compared to her, some people are actually quite busy during this period.
"Sir, I will soon be leaving the palace to build my own residence. Would you like to come and see my residence outside the palace?"
Fusu ran up to the King of Zhao and invited him.
"Okay, since I have some free time, I might as well go for a walk."
She stood up from the recliner in the palace and followed Fusu to tour his palace.
“It’s very good, the location is good, the space is spacious and convenient.”
After a walk around, Zhao Jun couldn't help but have some ideas in his mind.
Or talk to Ying Zheng and just move out of the palace to avoid running around every day.
"This place was chosen by my father, and I think it's quite good. I will be moving to another palace soon, so I might be a little busy and won't be able to be with you all the time, sir. Please understand."
Fusu spoke quite formally.
"No, you don't have to come see me every day if there's nothing wrong."
Although Ying Zheng had said before that he would study with her, he couldn't not have time for vacation.
"By the way, you are now fifteen years old and have left the palace to build your own house. So, aren't you old enough to be a candidate for the position of a young master's wife?"
She knew that in the Qin State, men became adults at the age of fifteen and had to go through a hair-binding ceremony before they could choose a wife.
Fusu said with a slightly red face.
"I'll listen to my father's arrangements on this matter. There's no rush to choose a wife right now."
Zhao Jun nodded.
Indeed, she felt that fifteen years old was too young. In her eyes, Fusu was just a little brother.
But there is no way around it, the world is like this now, let’s ask Ying Zheng what his plans are later.
For a period of time afterwards, the King of Zhao did not see Fusu often.
Just now someone came from the front hall and told her to come over.
Zhao Jun had a vague feeling that it might be because of Fusu.
In addition, Zhao Jun had not been there for more than half a month, so he quickly arrived at the front hall.
"I asked you to come here because of Fusu."
Ying Zheng spoke straight to the point.
"Fusu's hair-binding ceremony is scheduled for half a month from now. After the ceremony, he will officially move out of the palace."
"Generally speaking, you can get engaged after you tie your hair. I asked him before, and he said he had no objection, so I want to ask you."
"Why don't you help him arrange his marriage."
Ying Zheng's tone was gentle, and Zhao Jun actually heard a negotiating tone.
"My king, I can't arrange this marriage properly."
"First of all, I have my own work, and besides, I don't even know the daughters of officials in Xianyang."
"How can I help Su make a decision? This is a lifelong matter."
Zhao Jun refused it outright.
"If you don't want to, then let me pick one at random."
The key point is that Ying Zheng is not good at this kind of thing.
"Your Majesty, please listen to me. I have a suggestion that I wonder if you would like to adopt."
Zhao Jun hesitated for a moment and said.
"you say."
"It's like this. Although Fusu is fifteen years old, he's still young and shouldn't be in a hurry to get married."
"And most importantly, if he were to get married, he would definitely look for a girl around fourteen or fifteen years old."
"However, a girl of fourteen or fifteen isn't fully developed physically yet. If she gets married now, the pregnancy will be bad for both mother and child."
"And giving birth at a young age is particularly prone to heavy bleeding, which can result in two deaths."
"So I have a suggestion. Can we set the marriage age for both girls and boys a little higher? Not fifteen, but at least seventeen?"
This is what she felt sincerely.
"Is there such a thing?"
Ying Zheng asked back.
"Of course, I have a basis for this. If you don't believe me, just ask the doctor and he'll tell you that it's definitely safer to have children at an older age."
Zhao Jun said this with particular certainty.
She occasionally had time to see girls with big bellies on the street.
Those girls looked really young, but their bellies were so big that Zhao Jun felt terrified just looking at them.
Ying Zheng thought about it carefully.
It seems that older women are more likely to give birth.
"Then there's no need to rush Fusu's marriage. Let's wait two years and see."
Ying Zheng nodded in agreement. It was perfect since he didn't know which girl to find for him anyway.
"Your Majesty, do you still think what I said makes sense?"
Zhao Jun raised his eyebrows and asked very attentively.
"What do you want to do now?"
Ying Zheng glanced at her.
"It's nothing, nothing. I just think that since this is such a good thing, beneficial to the health of mother and child and a major event for the Qin State to increase its imports, shouldn't the people of Xianyang also know about it?"
Now that this matter has been mentioned, let’s just publicize it in Xianyang.
No matter how far we can go, at least we need to spread this awareness first.
