"Cooperate?" Changsun Yuanyi also showed a meditative expression after listening to Zhang Zong's suggestions.

"Yuanyi, don't hesitate. I feel that Brother Shi's proposal is quite good. In the future, our two companies will cooperate to build greenhouses and grow vegetables. My family can provide fuel at a cheap price, which will definitely minimize the cost of greenhouses. Even if others learn to greenhouses, they will not be able to compete with us!" Xue Shao said to Changsun Yuanyi with an excited expression on his face, and after that, he also gave Zhang Zong a gratitude.

Zhang Zong suggested that the Chang Sun family cooperate with the Xue family. With the power of the two companies, even if others want to secretly learn greenhouse technology, they have to weigh their own strength. In addition, Xue Shao's family has a coal mine, so the biggest cost of greenhouses is fuel. Therefore, with the addition of the Xue family, the cost of greenhouses can be greatly reduced. Moreover, as long as they promote the brand in the first few years and occupy a certain market, it will be difficult to compete with them even if others want to learn.

"Okay, one word is certain!" Changsun Yuanyi nodded quickly and agreed.

Changsun Yuanyi is a very smart woman. She knew that Zhang Zong proposed to cooperate to help them. After all, the Changsun family has long declined. Apart from his brother's position as a Duke, the family has no real power at all. If he really built a greenhouse and grew vegetables by himself, he might be stolen by others. But if Xue Shao was brought up, there would be Princess Chengyang behind him. I'm afraid no one in the entire capital would dare to touch their hair.

"That's great. Yuanyi, if you have any problems in the future, just go to me. Let's discuss the construction of the greenhouse together!" Xue Shao immediately patted his chest excitedly. Taking advantage of the opportunity of cooperation, he would meet Changsun Yuanyi frequently in the future.

"Okay, I'll disturb you in the future!" Changsun Yuanyi also said again very readily, but when Xue Shao heard her words, his face almost turned into a flower.

After the main talks, Xue Shao took Changsun and his brothers to visit Zhang Zong's house. However, as soon as Zhang Zong left the greenhouse, Taiping on the wall seemed to be chanting scriptures, and kept calling "one hundred bottles, one hundred bottles". Zhang Zong was too lazy to pay attention to her, and even called Wan'er back to ask her to prepare tea to greet Changsun and his brothers.

However, Changsun Yuanyi's mind was no longer here, so after taking a sip of tea, she immediately said goodbye and left. Zhang Zong and Xue Shao also personally took them out, and then watched the brother and sister board the carriage and leave.

"Brother Shi, thank you for this time!" As soon as the carriage of Changsun brothers and sisters walked away, Xue Shao immediately grabbed Zhang Zong's arm excitedly and shook it. The two companies cooperated with business. Even if Changsun Yuanyi didn't come to him, he could use this excuse to find each other. As the saying goes, the moon will be the first to get close to the water. No matter what, he will chase Changsun Yuanyi.

"You, I have taught you so much about astronomy and geography before, but you haven't learned it at all?" Zhang Zong rolled his eyes at Xue Shao and said, "I can't even remember the name of Tiaohe, and I even learned to pick up girls?"

Hearing this, Xue Shao immediately slapped his forehead, immediately pulled Zhang Zong to the study room, then took out the paper, ink, pen and inkstone and said, "Brother Shi, come and talk, I must listen carefully this time, even if I memorize it by rote!"

Zhang Zong was also amused and laughed when he heard this: "You don't hug you just because you hug me like this. Forget it today. If you come to me when you have time, you don't ask you to really learn any skills, but you still have some skills in your mouth, at least you must be able to chat with that little lady Yuan Yi!"

"Okay! I have decided that I will learn something from Brother Shi in the future!" Xue Shao said with a firm look on his face.

Seeing Xue Shao rarely showed such a serious attitude, Zhang Zong also felt a little funny. This kid was really willing to work hard to chase the girl, but I just don’t know if he is popular for three minutes?

"By the way, is the situation in the Changsun family not very good now? A noble lady from a dignified national family actually took the initiative to grow vegetables and make money. Could it be that their family is short of money now?" Zhang Zong suddenly thought of a question at this time, so he asked Xue Shao.

Xue Shao knew the situation of the Changsun family, so he immediately nodded and said, "Brother Shi, you guessed it right. The Changsun family was exiled and their property was confiscated. Although it was rehabilitated last year, the court only returned the Changsun family's mansion and some land. In addition, the Changsun family has a large population, and now the family lives a little tight, so Yuanyi is so concerned about making money."

"It's true!" Zhang Zong nodded after hearing this, and then asked again, "In addition, Minister Sun Yuanyi is so young, he has inherited the position of Duke. Could it be that his father is no longer alive?"

Zhang Zong's guess is reasonable. If Changsun Yuanyi's father was still alive, it would not be his turn to be the Duke's position. So he was a little surprised when he saw Changsun Yuanyi before. After all, based on the age of Changsun brothers and sisters, their father should not be too old.

"No, Yuanyi's parents are alive, and even Yuanyi's grandfather, my uncle, is still alive." Xue Shao immediately shook his head.

"What? Changsun Chong and his son are alive?" Zhang Zong screamed in surprise when he heard this, and then asked incrediblely, "Why did Changsun Yuanyi take the position of Duke instead of his father or grandfather?"

"This..." Xue Shao looked embarrassed at this time, and then he reached out and pointed at the window and said, "You have to ask her father about this!"

Zhang Zong looked in the direction of Xue Shao's finger and happened to see Taiping standing on the wall angrily, which made him suddenly wake up.

Li Zhi asked Changsun Wuji's great-grandson to succeed him as Duke, instead of letting his son and grandson succeed him, he was probably worried about the Changsun family, worried that Changsun Chong and his son would be resentful because of what happened back then. In contrast, Changsun Yuanyi, the great-grandson, probably had never met Changsun Wuji, and there was no relationship.

Another point is that Changsun Yuanyi seems to be a very dull, unsociable person, and he is young, so even if he succeeds Duke Zhao, he is only famous and cannot cause any big storms.

"Actually, Yuan Yi's family is quite pitiful. Although the court has rehabilitated them, Yuan Yi has suffered a lot in the past for so many years in exile in Lingnan. For example, when I first met her, she was black and thin, with only her teeth very white. Even though she has been raising her for a year now, she is still darker than ordinary girls." Xue Shao sighed again at this time.

When Zhang Zong heard Xue Shao's words, he suddenly remembered that Changsun Yuanyi was indeed a little darker than ordinary girls, but she also looked healthier. In addition, her cheerful and generous personality made her feel a rare heroic spirit. In comparison, Changsun Yuanyi, the older brother, was much worse.

"Brother Shi, do you think if I go to Changsun's house to propose marriage, will Yuan Yi agree?" Xue Shao suddenly asked Zhang Zong with some anxiety. Although he was not yet old, he could get engaged early, but he was still a little unconfident.

When Zhang Zong heard Xue Shao ask him this question, he smiled helplessly and said, "I can't tell you this, but I think you should seize the opportunity first and cultivate more feelings with Mrs. Yuan Yi, so that it will be easier to propose marriage in the future."

"That's true!" Xue Shao nodded thoughtfully after hearing this.

In fact, Zhang Zong did not tell the truth. If Xue Shao went to the Changsun family to propose marriage, the Changsun family would definitely agree. After all, the decline of Changsun family would definitely be unable to climb the big tree of Princess Chengyang.

As for Changsun Yuanyi, although Zhang Zong just met the other party, he also found that the other party was a very rational woman, and she was not opposed to Xue Shao, otherwise she would not have agreed to see Xue Shao, so she should have agreed.

But for this marriage, the most important thing is Princess Chengyang's opinion. If she disagrees, the marriage will definitely not be completed. Princess Chengyang obviously hopes that Xue Shao will marry the royal family, so Zhang Zong is actually not very optimistic about Xue Shao and Changsun Yuanyi.
