The "Song Criminal Code" has no explicit regulations on the age of marriage, but since the Song Dynasty, Li Tang's edict on the age of marriage has been followed, that is, "men are fifteen years old, women are over thirteen years old, and they are subject to marriage." That is to say, if a man is over the age of fifteen and a woman is over the age of thirteen, he can marry, so that it will not be against the law.

However, despite this, most families in the Song Dynasty still insisted on following the ancient rites, and women did not marry until around the age of Chi or even later. In this way, the year is like a cordon, and those who marry before the year are called early marriage, so most Song women marry after the year of the year.

Generally speaking, the age of Song women is fifteen years old.

Most women marry after the age of 19, married at the age of 19, married late, the main reason is that the Song Gong election system, the suffering of the cold window of the scholars once the title of the gold list, then they have obtained a pass to step into the official career, Jin Shi and the first, you can be awarded the official, its future is also unlimited.

In this way, the most ideal marriage partner of Song women is the person of Jinshi and the first, "to marry the wife of the scholar", but in actual life, "time to marry" and "for the wife of the scholar" are contradictory, it is difficult to have the best of both worlds, the reason is that the vast majority of the people of the Jinshi and the first are after the age of twenty, or even later, forty or fifty years old are possible, so if the Song woman with good conditions wants to marry the person of the Jinshi and the first, then she must wait, waiting for the right person to marry.

Although there were hundreds of Jinshi and first people in the third year of the Song Dynasty, after all, the proportion of students in the world was low and relatively rare, so there were many women who had reached marriageable age who were waiting hard and delaying for a long time.

Even some women can't find a person from Jinshi and the first person to marry or can't wait for it in their lives, so they marry the person of Jinshi and the first person as a concubine, or they can find someone to marry when they are older.

At the same time, most men marry after the age of 20.

Li Sanjian is seventeen years old this year, and he is not yet eighteen years old, but Fu Erniang asked someone to find a family for Li Sanjian...

The woman is a family surnamed Lu in Kaifeng Prefecture, Tokyo, the daughter of the Lu family is sixteen years old, and the family is relatively well-off.

Speaking of the principle of taking precautions, many people understand, the Lu family is a family of businessmen, this truth is even more clear, in case Li Sanjian pays tribute in the next year, wouldn't he pick up a big bargain?

In case Li Sanjian goes down again, as long as he is not officially married, he will find an opportunity to regret the marriage, this is the plan of the Lu family...

"Mother, my mother." When Li Sanjian understood what his mother was discussing with him, he immediately cried and laughed: "My son is only seventeen years old this year, what kind of urgency are you?" ”

"Mother is a little anxious... Fu Erniang heard the words and said, "But... But I'm the only one left in my Li family... Mother wants to be earlier. ”

"I understand my mother's intentions." Fu Erniang spoke hesitantly, how could Li Sanjian not understand Fu Erniang's thoughts?

The Li family has a single lineage, and Fu Erniang wants to hold her grandson earlier, so that she will live up to the trust of Li Sanjian's father, and she can continue the bloodline of the Li family.

At the same time, Cai's incident a few days ago made Fu Erniang feel a little ashamed of Li Sanjian, so Fu Erniang wanted to marry Li Sanjian as soon as possible.

Li Sanjian helped Fu Erniang and said softly: "My son has not completed his studies, and he is not willing to marry, besides... Moreover, even if he marries in the future, his son does not want to marry a woman he never knows. ”

The order of his parents, the words of the matchmaker, how could Li Sanjian not know such a truth in this world? Many couples in this world have never even met before marriage, and whether they are ugly or beautiful, tall or short, it all depends on luck.

But even so, Li Sanjian was reluctant to go to a woman he didn't know at all.

"Don't know each other? Isn't this the case in this world, you child? Fu Erniang hesitated for a moment when she heard this and said, "San Lang, do you have someone in your heart?" Hey, kid, no... Our family is out of the question. ”

Li Sanjian and Li Qingzhao, can Fu Erniangyan not know? The beautiful and intelligent Li Qingzhao, Fu Erniang also likes it very much, but Li Qingzhao is the daughter of an official eunuch, how can a family like Li Sanjian be able to climb high?

In the past, Fu Erniang kept her promise and went to Cai's mansion to propose, just to fulfill her promise, but in fact, Fu Erniang didn't have any hope in her heart at that time.

Li Sanjian was silent when he heard this, not knowing what to say.

Li Sanjian likes the talented, fresh and refined Li Qingzhao, and he likes it abnormally, but Li Sanjian seems to be avoiding Li Qingzhao intentionally or unintentionally at this time, and Li Sanjian can't say the specific reason.

Maybe Li Qingzhao is a "celebrity in the world", Li Sanjian is ashamed of himself, maybe Li Qingzhao is the daughter of an official eunuch, Li Sanjian can only look far away, but dare not take a closer look, although Li Sanjian and Li Qingzhao have a little intimacy not long ago, but Li Sanjian has always had this feeling.

"San Lang, what do you want?" Fu Erniang saw that Li Sanjian looked like she was in a state of disappointment, so she asked with some concern.

"It's okay, it's okay, mother, let's not mention this marriage, okay?" Li Sanjian hurriedly said when he heard this.

Fu Erniang sighed and said: "It's up to you, let's stop this time, but San Lang, marriage is a big deal, you must think about it carefully, and don't delay it for too long, you can wait, your father can't wait in the spirit of the sky, and my mother still wants to hold her grandson earlier." ”

What does my dead daddy know? Li Sanjian muttered secretly.

"Everything depends on my mother." Li Sanjian saw that Fu Erniang was still unwilling, so he smiled and said: "Mother, my mother-in-law, the child promised you that you would start a family earlier, but when the time comes, I am afraid that my son will want to marry, and others will not marry." ”

"Brother, don't be afraid, don't be afraid." The little bean sprouts on the side said, "When the bean sprouts grow up, I will marry my brother." ”vp

As soon as the little bean sprouts said this, they immediately amused Fu Erniang's mother and son.

Fu Erniang then said to the little bean sprouts with a smile: "Your brother can't wait that long." ”

Li Sanjian also shook his head and smiled: "You little girl, do you know what marriage is?" What do you do when you get married? ”

"Hmm... After thinking hard, the little bean sprouts replied, "Marriage is to live together." ”

"Aren't we already living together now? So why get married? Li Sanjian asked with a smile.

"Ahh This one.. This one... "Little bean sprouts couldn't answer for a long time.

"Okay, stop teasing her." Fu Erniang said to Li Sanjian: "San Lang, the bean sprouts have grown up, can't it always be the call of the bean sprouts, right?" There must be a surname, right? ”

"That's what my mother said." Li Sanjian nodded and said, "Why don't you give her a name?" ”

"I can't recognize a few words from my mother, so let's do it." Fu Erniang pursed her lips and smiled when she heard this.

"Well, then the surname is Li, Xiaodou Sprouts is from Lingnan, so let's name Li Nan, right?" Li Sanjian said after thinking about it.

Generally speaking, women, especially those from poor families, only have a surname and no name, but Li Sanjian disagrees, women are also people, why can't they have a surname and a name?

"Li Nan? Whoa? Not... In the future, the small bean sprouts will be called Nannan. Fu Erniang agreed.

"Hello? It's so good, it's so good, thank you brother La. Li Nan also clapped her hands happily and smiled.

The residence of King Song Duan

"The way to hold the reins is to hold one reins in each hand, the reins are wrapped between the ring finger and the little finger and clenched in the center of the fist, and the thumb is gently pressed on it. Hold the reins in the right and left hands at the same length. You should sit upright on the horse's back with your chest and waist straight, your arms and upper body overlapping, and your forearms and reins straight from all angles. The second year of high school patiently explained the skills of horseback riding to Li Sanjian: "You have to slowly learn how to wave... ”

In this world, horses and carriages are the main means of transportation, so if you don't know how to ride a horse, it will be more difficult to get around.

Whether it is a court official or a peddler pawn, many people can ride horses, especially court officials, whether they are slaughterers, executions, or ordinary court officials, most of them ride horses to the court, so Li Sanjian must learn to ride horses.

But fortunately, there are a lot of horses in Duanwangfu, and there are many people who can ride horses, and they can also ride horses in the second year of high school, and they can ride well, so they taught Li Sanjian to ride horses in the second year of high school.

"Waves?" Li Sanjian looked at the "wave" look of the sophomore in high school, and couldn't help laughing.

"Exactly, it's the wave." The second year of high school was laughed inexplicably by Li Sanjian, tilted his head and glared at Li Sanjian, and then said: "When the horse is doing a fast pace, you have to stand and sit with your feet on the vibrating saddle, and when you stand, you must stand up with the strength of your legs against the horse's belly. When sitting, relax your hips and hold your calves close to the horse's belly. ”

"Come, steady your pedal and hold on to the reins." The second year of high school said, stuffed the reins into Li Sanjian's hand, and then helped Li Sanjian into the saddle, and after seeing Li Sanjian sit firmly, he slapped hard on the horse's buttocks.

The horse neighed in pain, then spread its hooves and galloped over the royal racecourse.

Li Sanjian began to sit firmly in the saddle, but the horse suddenly began to gallop, and Li Sanjian suddenly leaned back and almost fell off the horse.

Li San bowed and crouched on the saddle, clutching the reins.

Li Sanjian's "waves" were unlawful, the "waves" were bumpy and undulating, his buttocks were torn by the saddle, and the horses were running around uncontrollably.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way!" At this time, Li Sanjian suddenly noticed that a girl in red appeared not far away, and immediately shouted loudly in fright.

"Ahh The girl in red was also frightened to the point that her face turned pale and let out a piercing scream, but her body couldn't move for half a minute, and she was so frightened that she couldn't move.

The second class of high school and others are far away, and it is too late to rescue.

At this critical moment, Li Sanjian clamped the horse's belly tightly and tightened the reins hard.

The horse neighed in pain, and the man stood up.

"Ouch... Li Sanjian let out a miserable scream, and then fell off his horse and fell into the dust.
