The June sun scorched the earth, and the muddy pond-like road was the first to dry out, only two deep ruts on the road, and the convoy of the Guangyang County Wangfu left the courtyard and slowly moved towards the city along the ruts on the road.

Inside the carriage, Zhao Yan and Xiao Dou Sprouts teased the little meat ding, laughing happily from time to time, Cao Ying turned her face away from them, as if she was angry, although Mi Xue next to her also wanted to play with the little meat ding, but when she saw Cao Ying's appearance, she could only lower her head and play with her handkerchief.

Zhao Yan hugged the little meat and played for a while, looked at Cao Ying was still sulking, and couldn't help but laugh in his heart, yesterday he just asked a joke about when he had the same room, and the result made Cao Ying, the little girl, ashamed and angry, and ran to the bedroom without coming out with a flick of her sleeves, and didn't give him a good face until breakfast today, and even now she is still angry.

"Hey, are you still angry?" Zhao Yan is more generous, so he took the initiative to say to Cao Ying.

"Humph!" Cao Ying snorted coldly and turned her head not to look at Zhao Yan, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that in fact, her anger had long since disappeared, but she couldn't talk to Zhao Yan.

"Alas, women are stingy, I just wanted to discuss a strict medical problem with you that day, but you are good, I don't know where to go, and I ran into the bedroom all of a sudden, it's really sad!" Zhao Yan deliberately sighed and said, to deal with a stubborn girl like Cao Ying, sometimes you have to use this kind of agitation.

"The county king bullied a little girl like me to bully the reason, but the concubine wants to hear it, what kind of medical problem do you want to discuss with me?" Cao Ying glanced at Zhao Yan and asked.

Seeing Cao Ying speak, this shows that his agitation method has also worked, and Zhao Yan smiled mysteriously at the moment: "This medical problem can be big or small, big enough to be related to the strength of a country and a nation, and small enough to be related to the fate of a woman and the happiness of a family." ”

"Oh, what's that problem?" Cao Ying said with some curiosity, she was nurtured by her grandfather since she was a child, and she has always been very interested in medicine, but unfortunately because of the restrictions of her identity, it is impossible for her to become a doctor.

Seeing that he had successfully aroused Cao Ying's interest, Zhao Yan also smiled secretly, and then deliberately showed an embarrassed expression and said: "If I bring this question directly, you should say that I ** you, so before discussing this issue, I will ask you a question, that is, do you think that our Song Dynasty women are too young when they get married?" ”

"Too small? What do you mean? Cao Ying obviously couldn't adapt to such a problem for a while, Song Dynasty women generally got married before the age of fifteen, and Cao Ying didn't feel that there was any problem. This is as if in later generations, most Chinese thought that twenty-four marriage was normal, but suddenly someone said that twenty-four marriage was too early, and it is estimated that most people would not be able to react like Cao Ying.

Zhao Yan also saw that Cao Ying's thinking was bound in the concept of this era, and immediately pointed to Cao Ying's petite body that had not yet grown up and said: "I asked you when you will have sex before, in fact, I want to discuss when a woman is suitable for pregnancy, we will talk about things, not involving other aspects, you yourself are also a woman, naturally you know that the body of a fifteen-year-old girl has not yet fully grown, and there is a big gap with those women in their twenties. Then you are green fruits, although such fruits also have seeds in them, but they are not completely grown, how can they be used to reproduce the next generation? ”

Although Cao Ying was dissatisfied with Zhao Yan pointing to herself as an example, Zhao Yan's words caused her to think deeply, she had always thought that it was normal for a woman to marry at the age of fifteen, and she had never thought about this matter, but after Zhao Yan's reminder, Cao Ying suddenly realized that this was indeed the case.

Zhao Yan saw Cao Ying pondering his words, and immediately added strength: "According to the knowledge I learned in the dream world, the best childbearing age for a woman should be between 24 and 35 years old, but the woman of my Great Song Dynasty is nearly ten years ahead of schedule, just imagine a fifteen-year-old girl, whose body has not yet grown up, but is pregnant with a fetus, even if it can be smoothly conceived in October, but the children conceived by such a young body, I am afraid that many of them are congenital deficiencies, which will affect future growth and reproduction." ”

When he said this, Zhao Yan paused for a moment and then said: "In addition, if you want to let a fetus weighing a few pounds be born from the body of a pregnant woman, this is definitely a huge harm to the body of a fifteen-year-old girl, and it is also more dangerous, which is why so many young girls die of dystocia, and even if it is a smooth birth, it will also make the young mother's vitality greatly damaged, and there may be some pain in the future, and even many women will not be able to give birth again!" ”

When Cao Ying heard this, she couldn't help but feel cold, and she realized for the first time that it was a very dangerous thing for her to marry someone at such a young age, at least from a purely medical point of view.

"Is there any way to fix that?" After a long while, Cao Ying asked.

"Yes, the easiest way is to postpone the age of marriage for women." Zhao Yan said very irresponsibly, it has long been a social custom for a woman to marry before the age of fifteen, and if you want to change a custom, it is definitely not something that can be done in one or two sentences.

"I mean, is there any other way?" Cao Ying also glared at Zhao Yan angrily, postponing the age of a woman's marriage is easy to say, but even if the government comes forward, I am afraid it will be difficult to change it in a short time.

"There is no way around this, everything has its own laws, and the growth of the human body is the same, even if it is a god, it cannot be changed!" Zhao Yan spread his hands and said, he actually didn't plan to change the atmosphere of the Great Song Dynasty, just to find a topic to arouse Cao Ying's interest, and by the way, help himself round what he just said.

Seeing that Zhao Yan had no other way, Cao Ying fell silent again, and after a while, she suddenly raised her head and said, "Perhaps, we can change the status quo of women marrying early?" ”

"You...... You're not mistaken, just the two of us? Zhao Yan plucked out his ears and asked with an incredulous expression, now he suspected that Cao Ying's little brain was as simple as the little bean sprouts.

"You are the king of the county, and you have shown your medical skills in front of your father twice, which has made your father trust your medical skills very much, if you come forward to persuade your father, you should be able to let the government come forward and advocate women's late marriage among the people, even if it is one or two years later than now, it is possible to save the lives of countless women and babies."

Cao Ying paused when she said this, and then said with a smile: "In addition, don't forget that the king of the county has let the concubine get the title of 'Medical Saint Niangniang', the medical saint Niangniang Temple outside the city is full of incense, and even now there are often people who go to the other courtyard to kowtow, if I am the medical saint Niangniang again, I will come forward to promote the benefits of women's late marriage, coupled with the promotion of the government, maybe it can really change the current atmosphere!" ”

After listening to Cao Ying's plan, Zhao Yan was stunned, originally he just mentioned it casually, but he didn't expect Cao Ying to really care, and if the government and the people work together, maybe it can really have an effect, but Zhao Yan still said unconfidently: "If I am alone, can I really convince my father?" After all, this is not a trivial matter, and I am just a county king with a title and no position, if others say that I interfere in the government, it will be a disaster. ”

Regarding Zhao Yan's words, Cao Ying gave him a blank look and said: "It's because it's not a trivial matter, so we can't leave it alone, as for the county king who is worried that a person can't convince his father, I think of a good helper, and when we return to the door, we will visit her together!" ”

"Who to visit? Can anyone help me, the king of the county, convince my father? Zhao Yan asked curiously, he was curious about this person's identity.

"You'll know then, but you have to promise me that you won't run away after you go!" Cao Ying rarely showed a mischievous smile and said, she usually looks like a princess, and only in this kind of private occasion will she occasionally show a trace of her little daughter's naughtiness.

"Cut~, what are you kidding, who would let me run away as a county king?" Zhao Yan said with a nonchalant expression, but he was also more curious about the identity of that person, and at the same time seriously recalled Zhao Yan's memories before, trying to find out a person who scared him, but unfortunately except for Queen Gao, no one seemed to let him run away in fright.

Caofu is located on the west side of the imperial city, after Zhao Yan's carriage entered the old Caomen, he walked west along the old Caomen Street, crossed the East Cross Street to the intersection of Zhulu Street and Xijiaolou Street, and from this intersection to the south, he would return to Zhao Yan's county palace, but unfortunately Caofu lived in the north of Xijiaolou Street, just the opposite.

Cao Ying has not been able to return to the door since she got married, this is the first time she has been away from home for so long, and she naturally believes it very much, so as soon as the carriage turned into the West Corner Tower Street, she immediately opened the window excitedly, looked at the familiar buildings on both sides of the street, and silently calculated how long it would take to get home.

The two girls, Little Bean Sprouts and Mi Xue, were also very excited, among them, Little Bean Sprouts pointed to the food stalls on the street, and introduced to Zhao Yan how these snacks tasted, which one was more sophisticated, and so on.

In contrast, the things introduced by Mi Xue are more useful, this little girl is clever, and she helps Zhao Yan introduce the situation of the mansions on both sides of the street, at this time Zhao Yan appeared, almost all the famous mansions on both sides of the street are from Jiangmen, such as the stone mansion at the entrance of the street, which is the descendant of the general Shi Shouxin in the early Song Dynasty, and the Li Mansion that he passed by just now is the descendant of the general Li Chugeng, and even he learned from Mi Xue that even the Tianbo Mansion of the Yang family is also on this street, but it is located at the northernmost end, further north than the Cao Mansion, So the carriage doesn't pass through there.

After driving along the street for about half an hour, the gate of Cao's Mansion finally appeared not far from the carriage, and Cao's Mansion, which had already received the news, was also brightly lit, and a large group of people were standing in front of the mansion, in order to welcome the county king and the princess of the county who returned to the door. It's just that when Zhao Yan saw the gate of Cao's Mansion, the familiar tension from his previous life floated in his heart.
