Chapter 223 The Real Marriage (Part 2)
Xue Shao kept complaining about his wife Changsun Yuanyi. In fact, there was no big conflict between them, but some differences in living habits. In addition, Changsun Yuanyi was proficient in and capable, and managed the entire family in an orderly manner, winning the likes and respect of the entire Princess Mansion. Even Princess Chengyang and Xue Ning'er were standing on her side, which made Xue Shao feel even more unbalanced.
As a friend, Zhang Zong couldn't help at all. After all, such housework is not convenient for outsiders to interfere. The only thing he can do is to be a listener. When Xue Shao said he was tired, he would naturally stop.
"By the way, you have been married for a long time. When will you plan to have a child?" Zhang Zong suddenly thought of a question, so he interrupted Xue Shao's complaint and asked.
"I still want children? I don't want to go home now. Wouldn't it be worse if I have children?" Xue Shao said angrily again when he heard this.
"You can't say that. You and Yuan Yi have no major conflicts, they are just trivial matters. Maybe after having a child, these problems will not be problems!" Zhang Zong smiled and said. In situations like Xue Shao, having a child is a good thing, but this is only suitable for this era. He dare not persuade people to have children in the future.
After hearing this, Xue Shao also thought about it seriously, as if he had really listened to Zhang Zong's words, but soon he shook his head again and said helplessly: "I want to give birth, but having a baby is not under our control. In fact, my mother has been urging us to us and even often boil all kinds of unpalatable medicine for us. But now Yuan Yi's stomach is not moving, so I can't do anything about it."
"You can't rely on Yuan Yi alone for giving birth. I've told you before that men and women have responsibilities in this kind of thing, but don't be too anxious. After all, you have just gotten married for a year and are not old. You have time to get it in the future." Zhang Zong also hurriedly said when he heard this.
There is a mainstream consciousness in this era that when a child cannot be given birth, the blame will be blamed on women. Zhang Zongzhen is afraid that Xue Shao will think so too. If the responsibility is blamed on Changsun Yuanyi for this, it will definitely affect the relationship between the couple. This is not a trivial matter.
"Brother Shi, don't worry, I remember everything you told us." Xue Shao immediately smiled when he heard Zhang Zong's words. Zhang Zong had told them a lot of miscellaneous studies before, including some medical common sense. Of course, he knew what it was like for boys and girls to have children, and even took the initiative to popularize science for Changsun Yuanyi.
"Just remember, and I think Yuan Yi doesn't want to control you, but really thinks about you. You should also be more considerate of her. As long as the couple can be considerate of each other, most of the conflicts will be reduced." Zhang Zong finally spoke again.
"Well, I'll write down what Brother Shi said!" Xue Shao's anger was also relieved and nodded solemnly. However, when he said this, he suddenly thought of something, so he spoke again, "By the way, Ning'er's birthday will be Ning'er in two days. Are you ready for your gift?"
"It's ready, and she will definitely like it!" Zhang Zong smiled mysteriously. Xue Ning'er has grown into a big girl. In order to avoid suspicion, she rarely comes to Zhang Zong again. However, during festivals, she will ask Xue Shao to invite Zhang Zong over. As for her birthday, she made an appointment with Zhang Zong a few months in advance.
"What gift, can I see?" Xue Shao immediately asked curiously when he heard this. Every time Zhang Zong prepares a gift that is unique. For example, on Xue Ning'er's birthday last year, Zhang Zong gave a kind of firework that would spit out sparks. When it was lit at night, the entire Princess's Mansion caused a sensation. Ning'er still mentions it frequently. Unfortunately, Zhang Zong only did it once and never did it again.
"Well... keep it confidential for the time being, you will know on your birthday!" Zhang Zong deliberately whined. He knew that if he told Xue Shao, with his personality, he would definitely not be able to keep it confidential, and the surprise effect would not be achieved by then.
"Stingy!" Xue Shao said dissatisfied when he saw Zhang Zong refused to say it, but Zhang Zong didn't care at all. This time he was going to give Xue Ning'er a big surprise.
After chatting for a while, Xue Shao stood up and said goodbye. Zhang Zong also stood up and sent him away. Then Zhang Zong got into his study. The gifts he prepared for Xue Ning'er were here, and he made many at once. The main reason was that the success rate of this thing was not high, so he could only do a few more, and there would always be success.
The next morning, Zhang Zong also stepped to Furong Garden. Because he had his class today, although Xue Shao was married, he was still studying in Chongxian Hall. Li Dan and Li Guangshun also grew up a lot and have become heroic young men. After Zhang Zong's teachings, they respect Zhang Zong more and more.
After finishing the math class, Zhang Zong told them some knowledge about astronomy and geography according to his previous habits. However, Li Guangshun asked first: "Sir, I used to offer a reward to go to the Americas to find high-yield crops. Now what is the point in the matter? I heard that many people have failed to find a way to the Americas."
Zhang Zong smiled and said, "It's not that easy to go to America. Some people were blinded by huge rewards. They drove a boat to sea without much preparation in the early stage. The success rate is naturally not high, and some people even went there forever, and there is no news now."
Zhang Zong paused and then said, "But last winter, Qian Dahai, the Gaochang man you met, had organized a fleet and set off for America. Although there is no news yet, I believe they should be better than those who are not prepared. If everything goes well, maybe they have arrived in America now."
The fleet that Zhang Zong mentioned was the fleet of Qian Dahai. After more than a year of running-in, the fleet finally integrated. So last winter, they also chose a time to sail out to sea. First, they went to Japan, and then looked for the ocean current to the east. According to the plan, if they could not find this ocean current, they would come back before the New Year. If they found the ocean current, they would go directly to the Americas. Now they have no news. Zhang Zong estimated that they might have arrived in the Americas along the ocean current.
