Chapter 592: This kid did a good thing

Song Yuntang looked at her.

"I think Madam Fu is taking too good care of him. Why not let Young Master Fu go out to get more sun, run and jump more, and eat more fruits and vegetables? I think he will get better after a while."

Just then, Xu Wencheng hurried to the front yard holding one-year-old Xu Yunxiao.

"Sister-in-law, is Hao Ting back?" He turned and looked at the guests in the hall, with a somewhat embarrassed expression on his face, "Sorry, I didn't know there were guests here today."

The three members of the Fu family, mother and daughter, stood up and saluted.

"Hello, General Xu."

Mrs. Fu looked up at the tall and handsome man not far away and felt that he was extraordinary as rumored.

His eyes turned, and I don't know what he was thinking about.

Song Yuntang looked at Xu Wencheng who was standing outside the hall, "Hao Ting is back. I thought that guy came back after telling you."

Xu Wencheng breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that the child had returned.

"As soon as he said he wanted to go home, he ran away very fast. I picked Yun Xiao up and he disappeared."

Song Yuntang felt that this matter had to be taken seriously, otherwise he wouldn’t know when he got lost.

"I'll tell him later."

"Okay, sister-in-law, you go ahead and do your work. I'll take Yunxiao downstairs first." After saying that, he nodded slightly in the direction of the three mother and daughter of the Fu family, then turned around and strode back to his own yard while holding Xu Yunxiao.

Watching Xu Wencheng leave, Mrs. Fu sat down again and looked at Song Yuntang.

"I heard that the princess is arranging a marriage for General Xu recently?"

Song Yuntang nodded calmly.

"Yes, I am having a headache about this."

He would rather help her take care of the children at home than go out to attend parties, and every time he would only go with her reluctantly after much persuasion.

Right now, there is no sign of marriage, and I don’t know when he will be able to pick a girl.

However, Mrs. Fu probably had some ideas when she asked this question.

Mrs. Fu looked in the direction of Fu Zhixu.

"Speaking of which, my family only has Xu who is the same age as Yunqi, and they are both looking for a marriage. I don't know which boy will be favored by me in the end."

The master has been in officialdom for so many years, but has only climbed to the position of a fifth-rank deputy minister of the Ministry of Justice.

Although the Xu family has not been in the capital for a long time, both brothers are capable. Although General Xu does not hold military power now, it would be a perfect marriage if his daughter could marry him.

Song Yuntang naturally understood the meaning of Mrs. Fu's words, but she would not say anything about this matter. It had nothing to do with family background. Ultimately, it depended on Wencheng's intention.

She looked in the direction of Fu Zhixu and Fu Yunqi.

"How old are Miss Fu and Miss Fu now?"

Fu Zhixu performed the ceremony according to the rules, and her behavior showed the elegance of a lady from a noble family.

"In reply to the princess, my sister and I will both be seventeen this year."

So far, she's a pretty good girl.

Moreover, from Fu Yunqi's actions yesterday, we can also see that the Fu family members have good character. When encountering things, they will have the courage to take responsibility and are not the ones who shirk responsibility.

"The two young ladies of the Fu family are well-educated, beautiful and intelligent. I think it won't be difficult for them to find a husband." She rubbed her temples and said, "I am still worried about my uncle. My parents-in-law have given me such a difficult task. I don't know which girl my uncle will like."

After these words were spoken, Mrs. Fu understood.

The key to this matter lies in General Xu himself.

Mrs. Fu smiled and chatted with Song Yuntang for a few more words. Seeing that it was almost time, she took her two daughters and said goodbye and went back.

After all, she had conveyed her meaning to the princess.

As for whether others will look down on it, it depends on the Xu family's opinion.

As the women, it was against the rules to ask a matchmaker to come to their house to propose marriage, and it also disrespected their own daughters.

…

Not long after the Fu mother and daughter left, Xu Qingye returned home from court. He came back early on purpose to have breakfast with Song Yuntang.

"What's that smell?"

As soon as Xu Qingye entered the door, Song Yuntang smelled a fragrance.

The man smiled and sat down next to her. "I brought you tofu pudding and Hu pancakes from Yong'an Lane."

Song Yuntang's eyes lit up.

"I haven't eaten it for a long time. Let me try it."

The man smiled gently, "It's just you. You have everything at home, but you're always thinking about things outside."

There wasn't even a hint of blame in his words.

Song Yuntang smiled and took a piece of Hu pancake from him.

"Just to change up the taste once in a while."

As she spoke, she took a bite. The Hu Bing was slightly salty, with the aroma of fried dough and sesame seeds, much more fragrant than steamed buns or steamed bread.

Xu Wencheng walked into the house holding Yun Xiao in one hand and Hao Ting in the other.

When Hao Ting saw that there was something delicious, he quickly climbed onto the stool.

"Daddy, I want to eat Hu Bing too."

Xu Qingye took two pieces, gave one to Hao Ting and one to Yun Xiao.

Then he took Yun Xiao from Xu Wencheng.

"You should eat something too."

Xu Wencheng sat down with a smile, filled a bowl of tofu pudding and started eating.

Song Yuntang swallowed the Hu Bing in his mouth and looked at Xu Wencheng.

"Wencheng, I want to ask you something."

Xu Wencheng paused in his eating, looked in Song Yuntang's direction and nodded.

"Sister-in-law said."

Song Yuntang leaned on the table while holding Hu Bing's arm, leaning forward slightly, "Two sisters of the Fu family, what do you think?"

Xu Wencheng nodded.

"fine."

"What if I become your wife?" she asked again.

Xu Wencheng paused for a moment.

“I don’t think they are bad…”

After hearing this, Song Yuntang understood.

"No need to say, I understand."

Since he didn't have this idea, she didn't need to think about it anymore.

Because in her heart, there is a girl who is more suitable than the two young ladies of the Fu family.

"What about Miss Gu from yesterday?"

Xu Wencheng raised his eyes to look at her, "Remind me of the lady who saved Hao Ting?"

"yes."

"After all, she saved Hao Ting..."

After a pause, he did not directly refuse this time.

"Let's take another look."

His sister-in-law has spent so much time and effort, he can't just refuse every time.

Hearing this, Song Yuntang suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, as if he saw the light of hope.

Hao Ting was munching on a Hu pancake, his sticky little mouth was covered with pancake crumbs, but he never forgot to find time to say something.

"Aunt Gu wanted Uncle Er to teach her how to fish yesterday."

Song Yuntang suddenly became interested.

"Is this true?"

Xu Wencheng touched Hao Ting's head in annoyance, "Isn't it this kid's fault? He was the one being asked, and he brought the person directly to me."

Song Yuntang smiled, isn't this a good thing to do?

The little guy is very smart.

When Xu Wencheng wasn't paying attention, Song Yuntang quietly gave Hao Ting a thumbs up, then picked up a handkerchief to wipe the bread crumbs from the child's mouth.

Hao Ting narrowed his eyes and let Song Yuntang wipe his mouth, as shrewd as a cunning little fox.

Xu Qingye looked at this scene with a smile in his eyes and eyebrows. He raised his hand to touch his nose and brought Yun Xiao, who was sitting on the stool and could only see his head, to his lap.

"Do you want to eat tofu pudding?"

Yun Xiao, who was just one year old, couldn't speak yet. When he saw his father scooping tofu pudding with a spoon and bringing it to his mouth, the little guy just opened his mouth and ate it in big mouthfuls.
