Chapter 135 Go to Europe
Although Zhao Yan understands Zhao Jia's ideal of traveling around the world, he actually doesn't support him very much. After all, as a father, no one would be willing to watch his son take risks, but he couldn't bear to slam his son's interest. In addition, even Cao Ying helped his son plead for mercy, Zhao Yan could only agree. However, he did not immediately let Zhao Jia sail around the world, but exposed the European problems first and then let Zhao Jia solve them. On the one hand, the range of the global navigation was shortened, and on the other hand, it could also give Zhao Jia more time to prepare.
It is precisely because he wanted to conquer Europe that Zhao Jia has been trapped in Europe in recent years and was unable to fulfill his dream of traveling around the world. Zhao Yan always thought that Zhao Jia would sail around the world after completely controlling the situation in Europe. However, he did not expect that he was planning to go directly from Europe to America, and then bypass the Americas and cross the Pacific Ocean to the Song Dynasty. This could be considered as completing the global voyage, but Zhao Yan knew nothing about this plan.
"Uncle San, my elder brother just mentioned this casually in the letter. Maybe he didn't really want to go directly to America from Europe!" Zhao Xu said, and hurriedly remedy it, but it was too late for him to say anything at this time. With Zhao Yan's shrewdness, there would be a ghost if he believed him.
"I know what I know. Let me stay and discuss the affairs of Japan with Your Majesty, and I will go back first." Zhao Yan said a little unhappy. It was not that he blamed Zhao Xu for helping Zhao Jia hide it, but that Zhao Jia actually made such a major decision without hiding it. You must know that Zhao Jia is already a father now.
As soon as Zhao Yan left, Zhao Xu immediately jumped up and wrote a letter to Zhao Jia, telling him that he had missed his mouth. Now that the third uncle already knew, he asked him to be careful, but Zhao Xin was heartless. Because as long as his father focused his attention on his elder brother, he would be much more relaxed.
Zhao Yan returned to the palace angrily, and Cao Ying and others were very happy to greet him in front of the palace. However, when they saw Zhao Yan's face, everyone was stunned. Fortunately, Zhao Yan immediately showed a happy look when she saw her family, which also made everyone feel relieved. However, after the reception banquet, Cao Ying still pulled him to the study and asked: "It was a very happy thing for your husband to come back, but why did he seem very angry before?"
In fact, even if Cao Ying didn't ask Zhao Yan, he would discuss it with her. He immediately showed an angry expression and said, "It's not our good son. I asked him to stabilize Europe and then return to the Song Dynasty, but he was fine. He actually planned to go directly from Europe to the Americas, and then go around America to the Song Dynasty, and deliberately hide it from me. If Xu'er hadn't accidentally let it go today, I'm afraid I'd still be kept in the dark!"
"Oh, it turns out that's the matter!" Cao Ying nodded without surprise when he heard this.
"Oh? Madam, you have known this a long time ago?" Zhao Yan said dissatisfied as soon as he heard Cao Ying's words. He was the only one who knew about it, but he didn't expect that even Cao Ying had known about it.
"Haha, husband, don't be angry. Jia'er did mention this to me in the letter. The reason why he dared not tell you is actually because he was afraid that you would disagree. But I think the children are already old, and even grandchildren are born for us, so they have let them do whatever they want, and husband should not be too strict." Cao Ying advised at this time. In fact, when it comes to educating their children, Zhao Yan sometimes seems too spoiled. She was not a big deal when she was a child, but as the children grew older, they also had their own ideas. But Zhao Yan was always worried about the dangers that the children encountered, and hoped that they would arrange their future lives according to their own ideas. In this way, although there could be no conflict between the father and son, at least there were still some differences.
"But... but they are all too young. Young people are impulsive in doing things. What if they hurt themselves?" Zhao Yan said unwillingly at this time. He understood the truth. But as a father, he still couldn't adapt to the fact that when the children grew up, he needed to transform from a protector to a supporter and leader, rather than letting him make decisions for the children in everything.
"Husband, people come from step by step when they were young. Have you never made mistakes when they were young? As long as the children have their own ideas and are willing to do it, let them do it. Maybe they will inevitably encounter danger during this period, but we cannot protect their children for the rest of their lives. People always have to go through storms before they can grow up." Cao Ying advised again at this time that although she is a woman, she is more open-minded and has been educated by her daughter since she was a child. She knows how to teach her children, which is much better than Zhao Yan.
This is not the first time Cao Ying has persuaded Zhao Yan like this, but Zhao Yan feels different every time, especially in recent years, the children have grown up one by one. For example, Zhao Xin is as eager as Zhao Jia to go out and explore. This makes Zhao Yan deeply realize that the children have really grown up and need to give them a certain amount of space to fly freely.
Thinking of this, Zhao Yan couldn't help but sigh and said, "Okay, I did make this wrong first. Jiaer and Xiner are indeed adults. I shouldn't have kept them so strict. If I still make such a mistake in the future, please don't forget to remind me!"
"Haha, my husband has done a good job. The children are very sensible under your guidance. For example, although Jiaer and Xiner have been restricted by their husbands, they all know that this is the husband who is thinking about them, so they have never complained about their husbands." Cao Ying couldn't help but smile again when she heard this. In fact, what she said was the truth. Compared with other men, Zhao Yan has spent too much effort on family. Sometimes even her and Xue Ninger feel that they are not as worried as Zhao Yan. This is something that others dare not imagine, so they are very satisfied.
