He was betrayed at the beginning, from a cake seller to a wealthy person

Lu Yan also knew in her heart that ancient people's understanding of age was very different from modern people. To Lu Yan, a thirteen or fourteen-year-old was still a kid in junior high school. In ancient times, it was actually possible to discuss marriage.

The ancients' requirements for marriage age also exceeded Lu Yan's bottom line, especially for women.

Emperor Hui of the Han Dynasty issued an order in the sixth year: "If a woman is between fifteen and thirty years old, if she does not marry, the tax will be counted five times." If a woman does not marry after the age of 15, the tax will be doubled, up to five times. During the Jin Dynasty, Sima Yan issued an edict: "If a girl's parents do not marry her at the age of seventeen, she will be matched by an official." If a girl does not marry at the age of seventeen, the local government will force her to marry.

At present, there are no such abnormal regulations, and folk customs are relatively open. Young girls and boys playing together are often seen on the streets, and blind marriages are not that common. But girls will basically get married before they are twenty years old. Sixteen to eighteen years old is the default age for marriage.

But Lu Yan's body was only fourteen years old, and because she had been malnourished before, she had not even had her period. This means that this body does not even have the ability to reproduce now. How long it will take for it to become pregnant again, Lu Yan herself does not know.

And Zhang Chang is already twenty. Although there are many scholars who have not been admitted to the imperial examination and have no family, and the overall age of marriage is the oldest in all walks of life, but after all, he is no longer a fourteen or fifteen-year-old child like Lu Sheng, and the pressure on him from his family to continue the family line is much greater. Much bigger.

In short, Lu Yan is not against falling in love, but she cannot accept dating someone who is several years older than her. This body is too small now. Even if she talks about it, she will talk about it with someone who is about the same age as herself. She will wait for three to five years before talking about getting married.

However, she was very unhappy if Lu Yan was asked to talk to a young boy of [-] or [-] years old. This body is small, but she herself is not small. To be fair, if you suddenly traveled back to your junior high school from the period of being a social animal, would you fall in love with a boy in your class? Let’s talk nonsense!

Lu Yan thought for a while, and felt that even if she didn't mean it, she wouldn't be able to tell them directly, and they wouldn't confess. Let's leave it like this for now, anyway, his parents will force him to get married when he returns home.

"That's it. If he doesn't tell me, I'll just pretend I don't know." Lu Yan said, "I'll just try to avoid hanging out with him alone in the future. But I haven't done that before, and I always took you with me."

Lu Sheng: "..."

"What's the matter? Are you unwilling to take me with you?" Lu Sheng raised his eyebrows.

"I'd rather, I'd rather." Lu Yan corrected, "It's not us taking you, we taking him. From now on, if we don't take him, it's just the two of us, okay?"

Lu Sheng was then satisfied: "Okay."

Lu Yan raised her buttocks and was about to leave, but Lu Sheng held her back again.

Lu Yan turned around: "What else do you want?"

Lu Sheng: "Since you don't like Zhang Chang, what kind of person do you like?"

Lu Yan thought for a while and sat back: "I can't say for sure about love. It mainly depends on the feeling. It's okay if you have feelings, but not if you don't."

"Don't talk about that mysterious thing, just talk about the conditions." Lu Sheng said.

Lu Yan didn't want to discuss this issue, so she started talking nonsense: "If you have to give me a condition, it is that you can give me a child. There is no gender limit. I don't care if it's male or female."

Lu Sheng:? ? ?

Lu Yan was still talking nonsense: "As long as you can give birth to my child, I will give you any amount of betrothal gift."

Lu Sheng: "No matter how much you give, no one can give birth to your child."

Lu Yan: "Then I don't care. I just put forward the most basic requirements of an ordinary man. I don't even ask for gender. If you can't even do this, you can't blame me."

Lu Sheng: "If I discuss this issue with you again, I will be like a dog."

Lu Yan patted Lu Sheng on the shoulder and finally left with satisfaction.

Lu Yan is like a fool emotionally, which does not hinder her business savvy at all. After a few days of struggling like this, September will be here, and the Double Ninth Festival will be here in a few days.

In modern society, the Double Ninth Festival seems not as important as other traditional festivals, but in ancient times, the Double Ninth Festival was still very important.

The importance of the Double Ninth Festival comes from the ancient people's emphasis on the days when the sun and the moon coincide with each other, and the festival mostly falls on odd months. Many festivals are like this, such as the Chinese New Year on the first day of the first lunar month, the Shangsi Festival on March [-], the Dragon Boat Festival on May [-], the Qiao Qiao Festival on July [-], and the Double Ninth Festival on September [-]. They are all festivals that the people love to see; on the other hand, because Love for the number nine. According to the Book of Changes, nine is the number of yang. When two nines meet, the yang energy is the strongest on this day, so it is necessary to climb high on this day to clear the air and drive away the turbid air. At the same time, nine is also the largest number and has the same sound as long, so it is given the meaning of longevity.

Will Lu Yan let go of such a big festival? Definitely not. She called Song Bowen a long time ago to discuss what kind of activities to hold during the Double Ninth Festival to earn more money.

Looking at Lu Yan and Lu Sheng, Song Bowen remembered that it was the three of them who were thinking about it last year. A lot of things happened this year, but the three of them still got together after a year.

Song Bowen also expressed some emotion: "Last year's Liufang Banquet is still vivid in my mind."

"We can also hold a banquet this year." Lu Sheng said: "Last year they held the chrysanthemum banquet first, so we will directly hold the chrysanthemum banquet this year."

"What a great idea." Lu Yan said, "This year we will use chrysanthemums as a dish for the chrysanthemum banquet."

"Who should I treat?" Song Bowen asked, "What role can I play this time?"

Lu Yan pondered for a while and slapped her thigh: "Please eat, diners! Let's continue the competition. This time, we will hold a chrysanthemum-themed poetry contest. It is similar to the one during the Dragon Boat Festival. It will be held in your store. You can qualify for the competition by buying any items in the store. Get Put a big book at the door and ask them to write poems and lyrics in the big book until two days before the Double Ninth Festival. On the day before the Double Ninth Festival, all guests of Lu Ji and Yidian Mo can exchange for a ticket with any consumption. Vote for your favorite works, the votes will be tallied before closing, and the top three with the highest number of votes will win. The three winners will be invited to the Double Ninth Festival Chrysanthemum Banquet."

"Lu Ji invites five diners to the chrysanthemum banquet. Who to invite is decided by drawing lots. Make a box and put a bunch of lots in it. If only five of the five are chosen, you can get one chance to draw lots by spending money in Lu Ji. Each person can only draw lots per day. Draw once. The diners who win the draw will be invited to the Double Ninth Festival Chrysanthemum Banquet."

Lu Sheng was already familiar with Lu Yan's various marketing strategies. This was the first time Song Bowen heard it, and it was shocking to his soul.

Lu Yan continued: "Your family recently got some chrysanthemum-shaped letterheads and chrysanthemum-engraved writing brushes. They can be made into gift boxes and sold at a high price. You can make gifts for the top three in the poetry competition for free."

"With two more joint activities like this, people will establish a link between our two stores. People who are used to my Lu Ji will definitely think of Dodian Mo when they want to buy stationery. Scholars who often use Dodian Mo will also be hungry. You will think of me, Lu Ji."

Song Bowen was extremely impressed.
