Although the family has a lot of expectations for Xie Yuner and Lin Dai, hoping that they can start a branch for Shen Xi as soon as possible, so that Shen Xi's career can progress after he starts a business, it is obvious that Shen Xi is not ready to be a father.

Shen Xi's mental age is indeed enough, but from the perspective of body and genetics, his current age is not very suitable for having children.

In addition to the all-round backwardness of medical care, sanitation and nutrition, there is also an important reason why the ancients married relatively early.

In the Ming Dynasty, men and women were everywhere at the age of fourteen or fifteen to become fathers and mothers, and the first child was generally thin and weak, and the possibility of stillbirth was very high.

It is difficult for two teenagers and girls who have not yet fully developed to ensure the health of the next generation.

Fortunately, Xie Yun'er is old, and it is neither early nor too late to conceive her first child at the age of twenty-two, Shen Xi is afraid that he will turn back and cause the child to die because of his immature body, which will bring a huge blow to Xie Yun'er and even his father and mother.

Anyway, there is no reason to kill after conceiving a child in these years, the wife who is marrying back from the Ming media, hiding in the boudoir and not going out of the second door to give birth to the child he is carrying, even if he knows that he may die young, he will give birth, who said that the general survival rate of children is not high in these years?

Don't choke on food!

The emperor is still working hard to create people after the death of his son and daughter, and he can't be too far behind as a courtier!

Shen Xi and Xie Yun'er both understand medicine, and their living conditions at home are good, and their nutrition can keep up, so they don't believe that they can't feed their children.

"Yun'er, don't work hard from today onwards, raise the baby at home with peace of mind, you don't have to meddle in business matters, just leave it to Yunbo and them. Let Hong'er and Lu'er take care of your daily life, and if your husband can't come back because of his busy business, you can let them spend the night with you......"

In ancient times, the daughter of a big family married, there will be a maid to marry, in addition to talking to a maid and intimate people, but also because there are many rights and wrongs in large households, when the husband does not return, the maid can sleep with the lady.

The ancients have realized that pregnant women are prone to anxiety, especially women from wealthy families, and their husbands do not return for a long time, so they must find someone to accompany them so as not to suffer from prenatal depression.

After all, Shen Xi still has Lin Dai, and it is impossible to sleep in the same bed with Xie Yun'er every day, so he wants Hong'er and Lu'er to be Xie Yun'er's personal maids.

"The husband is too worried, and he wants the concubine to sleep with the maid...... I'm not used to it. Saying that, Xie Yun'er glanced at Shen Xi with a resentful gaze, as if to say, you think so much, now that I am just pregnant, you want to have a strong affection with Dai'er and leave me aside.

Shen Xi sighed: "It's up to you, but if you are depressed, just come to me, and I will try to come over every night." ”

Xie Yun'er scolded angrily: "The concubine body will not disturb the good things of the princess." ”

Shen Xi smiled, if he was really doing something with Lin Dai, Xie Yun'er suddenly knocked on the door outside, it would be embarrassing enough.

It's like when his relationship with Xie Yun'er was broken by Lin Dai, he can scare people out of psychological problems.

Bad things followed good things, as soon as the problem of Hong Turbidity was dealt with, this head learned that he was really about to become a father, and what he needed to pay attention to now was Xie Yun'er's fetus.

A woman's first child is the most troublesome, only when the first child is successful, the next child will continue, and the probability of dystocia in the first child is the highest...... There was no caesarean section in these years, and if something really went wrong, it was likely that there would be two deaths.

In ancient times, cases of women dying due to dystocia abounded, from queens to commoner women.

The matter of a safe pregnancy is relatively much easier, the point is not to let Xie Yun'er be too tired, read her more medical books or books, keep the relationship between husband and wife harmonious, and let her be in a cheerful mood.

……

……

Shen Xi sent the news of Xie Yun'er's pregnancy back to Tingzhou.

After the letter was delivered, Shen Xi was wondering whether to go out of the city and find a farmer to provide fresh milk regularly, when he received a letter from Tingzhou, but Hui Niang was sick.

Shen Xi was in a good mood, but suddenly became a little depressed. In the final analysis, he still can't forget the throbbing of his heart when he first met Hui Niang, and over the years, he has worked closely with Hui Niang to cultivate a kind of affection. Although he wanted to transfer this relationship to Lin Dai and Xie Yuner in the past two years, he never succeeded.

Because Fujian is too far away from the capital, Shen Xi can't help much, and the letterhead has been back and forth for nearly four months, and Hui Niang is too late no matter what illness he has, not to mention that he doesn't know what kind of disease Hui Niang has.

On the inner garden of the palace, there was still no news about Shen Xi's resumption of classes, but the envoy of the Francophone arrived in the capital on September 25.

The Franc machine man came this time can be said to be "full of sincerity", large and small boxes brought hundreds of mouths, the journey on the road was repeatedly delayed, and after Shen Xi tied Almeida and others to the capital for almost four months, the Franc machine scraped together enough money to ransom people.

In the mind of the Franco, the officials of the Ming Dynasty were too greedy.

In the past, we gave you so many silver and gold coins, but now we have "kidnapped" our people and asked us for ransom, and we have to be constantly blackmailed by your officials along the way...... Is it true that your emperor is also of this virtue, and let us be called vassals so that we can pay tribute every year?

Don't!

We ransom the people, return to Portugal first, and when we come to the Ming Dynasty again, we will definitely bring a large number of warships, as well as countless guns and artillery, and we will seek justice when the time comes!

Of course, if we don't have enough ships, guns, and artillery, we won't come.

Although Xie Qian arranged for Shen Xi to receive him, he didn't have to worry about the specific greeting matters, but when it was time to receive the "tribute", he needed to come forward to connect and sign the "Friendship Agreement on Paying Tribute" between the two countries.

The Francos were very pragmatic, their men were captured by the Ming Dynasty because of the defeat, and they had to redeem them, because these people included Almeida, the captain of the fleet appointed by Queen Isabella, and if they could not redeem Almeida, they would also be hanged.

If you can't return to China, you can only wander outside as a pirate, from an official soldier to a rogue, which is unacceptable in the eyes of the Franco.

The first thing they did when they arrived in the capital was to quickly verify Almeida's life and death, and only after seeing that Almeida was safe and sound would they start the next step of negotiations.

……

……

"It's unreasonable, come to me to pay tribute, it's so rude!"

The person who said this was none other than Fu Han, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites who was ordered by Emperor Hongzhi to be sent to negotiate with the Buddha Lang Jiren, and Shen Xi was standing behind Fu Han as the deputy envoy at this time.

Except for the beginning when Shen Xi went up to greet Fu Han, Fu Han never paid attention to Shen Xi again, maybe in the eyes of this Shangshu, Shen Xi is not worth mentioning at all.

Shen Xi was also looking at the new secretary of the Ministry of Rites.

"History of the Ming Dynasty" said that he led the sensational meeting and opposition last year, Shen Xi does not know the authenticity, but one thing is certain, Fu Han is the vested interest in this case, it is precisely because Cheng Minzheng was pulled off the horse that Fu Han replaced Xu Qiong as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and the originally respected Cheng Minzheng was the best candidate.

But in terms of the reputation and character of the imperial court, Fu Han is still okay.

The Ministry of Rites will try to solve the problem case has passed, Shen Xi doesn't want to investigate it in detail, because the case itself is an unsolved case, even if someone is involved, it is also a good guide, and many reasons are mixed together, not that whoever wants to frame Cheng Minzheng, Cheng Minzheng will end up in the field of disgrace and tragic death.

Lian Cheng Minzheng's death is purely a coincidence, look at Xu Jing and Tang Bohu, who were punished more severely, aren't they still alive and well now?

This day was September 27, and it was also the day when Shen Xi, as the deputy envoy, negotiated with the envoy of the Francophone for the first time. Among the people on the scene, he was the only one who had the experience of bargaining with the Francophile, but unfortunately he was not the right envoy and it was not his turn to speak.

Almeida, as a "righteous envoy", actually belongs to the prisoners of the lower ranks, and his opinions are not adopted by the Ming court, but the follow-up people are what the Ming Dynasty values.

According to the emperor's requirements, this negotiation should be done to make the Buddha recognize the identity of the Ming Dynasty **** and repair it forever, as for the tribute, it is only symbolic, because the Ming Dynasty has always been generous to these "vassal states", and if people pay tribute to a piece of sheepskin, they will give people a piece of silk.

It's a pity that the Franco machine people don't know that the Ming Dynasty is so easy to talk to, and these Franc machine people are determined to come to bargain with the Ming Dynasty and strive to pay a little less ransom.

Since the Franc machine is here to "pay tribute", it belongs to the small country and the widows, and there is no reason to let the **** envoy wait, so let the Franc machine envoy go to the banquet hall of the same hall first, and Fu Han took the Ming negotiator to wait in the next room. But Shen Xi looked around, there was not even a seat in this room, so it was better to negotiate earlier.

Shen Xi stood for about an hour, waiting a little impatiently, thinking, what are you doing with all these vain tricks? Originally, the Franco-Rang people were still afraid of Da Ming, and if they heard that the officials of Da Ming made such a joke in order to save their faces, they would definitely be disdainful in their hearts.

But Shen Xi is only a deputy envoy and has no qualifications to speak. He was joined in the negotiations by six deputy envoys, who, though not the lowest, were only one of the two officials responsible for recording the talks...... You can't let Shangshu, Shilang and Shaoqing do the work of recording, right?

Perhaps even Emperor Hongzhi didn't think about why the Francis made a special offer to let Shen Xi participate in this meeting.

Shen Xi took a pen and paper, followed behind Fu Han, and finally arrived at the negotiation venue.

Although it is said to be a meeting room, it is just an ordinary living room, with chairs on either side of a long table, and Franc is not short, wearing a heavy military uniform, but there is no sword.

Seeing that the people from the Ming Dynasty were coming, the people of the Buddha machine all stood up to greet them, very neatly, and Fu Han was a little stunned when he saw this formation.

I thought my artillery was powerful, so I ran to the Ming Dynasty to show off my might?

In Fu Han's mind, the biggest impression of the Franc machine man is the powerful Franc machine artillery that he saw on the school field a few days ago.

One artillery can suppress hundreds of soldiers if it is operated well, and he wonders in his heart how much it cost the Battle of Quanzhou to defeat the Franco-Robot with dozens of artillery pieces.

In Fu Han's heart, the Franco-Rang people may be more ill-intentioned than the Tatars.

"You may be seated!" Fu Han said a word and sat down on the main seat first, but he soon found that the eyes of the Franc machine were not looking at him at all. It was only when he realized that these people could not understand what he was saying.

When Fu Han was thinking about how to communicate, the six deputy envoys on the left hand side of the long table sat down, and several Francophiles glanced at each other, and they all sat down neatly, still straight, and they looked like soldiers.

Shen Xi was thinking in his heart at this time that the discipline of the Ming Dynasty army was lax, and the garrisons in the coastal areas were like pirates, while the Franc Pirates who plundered the Quartet were more like soldiers.
