Chapter 550: Love her and respect her
Xu Qingye quietly held his wife's hand in his palm and turned to look at Mrs. Meng.
"May I ask in what capacity Madam Meng you teach me how to do things? And in what capacity you direct the affairs of my house?"
This was the first time Song Yuntang saw Xu Qingye speak so harshly.
I just feel warm in my heart.
Mrs. Meng's face turned pale when she heard his question.
Xu Qingye didn't care about her expression. He looked in the direction of Song Yuntang.
"Even if Tang'er doesn't have the title of county lady, I will still cherish her like a treasure. As her husband, I respect and love her and am willing to be her backer. Why should I ask her family to support me? If Madam Meng says this again, don't blame me for being merciless!"
Mrs. Meng looked surprised.
Men are so fickle.
She had been in the capital for many years and had met many officials, but she had never seen a man who would defend his wife like this.
This Princess Le'an is actually someone who knows how to charm men.
She actually made such a top scholar so devoted to her.
But empty learning cannot bring wind.
Since there have been rumors in the capital recently, it seems that Lord Xu is only slightly better than ordinary men.
Not much different.
"Master Xu is young and full of vigor, but he should also know the principle of leaving a way out for others. If the county lady agrees to go to the palace to plead for my daughter today, I can make the decision to transfer the two shops of my Meng family in East City to the county lady, and bring the second daughter of the mansion to the Xu Mansion to serve Master Xu together with the county lady."
"Our two families can be said to have known each other through fighting. If we become in-laws in the future, our Shangshu Lord will be able to help Lord Xu in the officialdom."
Since ancient times, women have obeyed their husbands.
If Lord Xu has any intention of doing this, the county lady will have no choice but to accept it.
After all, being able to get close to the Shangshu Mansion will make Xu Qingye's future career smoother.
When Song Yuntang heard this, a slightly strange expression appeared on his face.
Is this Madam Meng out of her mind?
It would be fine if he just said bad things about her in front of her, but today he came to beg her clearly and even let her husband take a concubine in front of her?
Seeing Song Yuntang in a daze, Xu Qingye squeezed her hand and signaled her to be at ease.
"I appreciate Madam Meng's kindness, but I have never thought of taking a concubine, and I dare not delay the young lady of the Shangshu Mansion. As for pleading with His Majesty, Madam Meng, instead of asking my wife, it would be better for her to go to the palace and ask the Empress to see if she can persuade His Majesty to change his mind."
Seeing that the two were stubborn, Madam Meng had no other choice but to snort and leave with her maid unwillingly.
Song Yuntang withdrew his gaze from Mrs. Meng's back and looked at Xu Qingye beside him, and couldn't help laughing.
The man raised his hand and pinched her face.
"What are you laughing at?"
Song Yuntang held his hand, looking like a girl in love.
"You are as precious as a treasure. You love me and respect me. You are my backer. This is the first time I have heard you say such words. Lord Xu has really impressed me today."
The man did not show any sign of embarrassment. He smiled gently and glanced at the pastries on the coffee table.
"Do you like today's osmanthus cake?"
Song Yuntang followed his gaze.
“It’s sweet and soft. I like it very much.”
Xu Qingye also picked up a piece and tasted it.
"It tastes good. There are no fresh osmanthus flowers this season. They were picked last year and dried and preserved. They have been stored for a little too long, so the fragrance is a little weaker than that of osmanthus flowers that have just been picked from the trees."
Song Yuntang looked at him with a smile.
"I am already very satisfied to be able to eat the sweet-scented osmanthus cake you made at this time of year."
…
After breakfast, Rendong brought the manager of the dental clinic and several maids to the house.
After some observation and questioning, Song Yuntang finally kept two of them. Together with Xu Qingye and Hao Ting, they took the two old women to Song Jinsheng.
Mu Qiu rested for a night and looked much better.
Song Yuntang took the child from her arms.
"You just gave birth, so you can't hold the baby for too long. You need to rest more." Then he asked, "Have you chosen a name for your nephew?"
"Not yet. Your second brother said he is a rough man with no knowledge, so he wants to ask..." Mu Qiu glanced at Xu Qingye outside the house and said a little embarrassedly, "I want to ask my brother-in-law to help me build one."
This brother-in-law is much older than her, so it is hard for her to call him that.
Song Yuntang looked in the direction of Xu Qingye and couldn't help but find it funny.
Mu Qiu is half a year younger than her, but he wants to call Xu Qingye his brother-in-law. No one else can say that.
No wonder she always avoided Xu Qingye.
Xu Qingye pretended to be calm and coughed.
"Jun (jun) means outstanding in intelligence. How about Song Jun?"
Mu Qiu murmured a few words and turned to look at Song Jinsheng who had just come in from outside the yard.
"Brother Jinsheng, my brother-in-law named our child Song Jun. What do you think?"
Although they have been married for more than a year, she is still not used to calling him husband.
This is the only way I address him when I talk about him to outsiders.
Song Jinsheng entered the yard carrying a lot of bags.
He put the things on the table and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"The name my brother-in-law gave me is naturally not bad. Just think it sounds good."
Mu Qiu smiled.
"Then let's call him Song Jun."
Instead, he touched the child in Song Yuntang's arms.
"Juan'er, you have a name now. It was given by your uncle. I hope you will live up to this good name."
Seeing that everyone's eyes were on his little brother, Hao Ting sucked his fingers and looked at Song Yuntang aggrievedly.
"Mother~"
Just then Song Jinsheng entered the room.
Seeing this scene, I couldn't bear it.
"Ah, no one is holding our Hao Ting." He picked up Hao Ting and walked out of the house. "Second uncle just bought a lot of delicious food. Hao Ting, take a look and see if there is anything you want to eat?"
Mu Qiu looked at Song Jinsheng's back and moved his body to the side of the bed.
"Tang'er, put the child on the bed. Hao Ting will be sad later."
Song Yuntang shook his head helplessly.
"Maybe he's jealous because he's never seen me hug other kids. It's not a big deal."
Having said that, he still placed Song Jun, who was already yawning, next to Mu Qiu.
"Hao Ting is not even two years old yet. Children of this age will have some problems. It will be fine when they grow up." She said, looking at Song Yuntang's lower abdomen, "Tang'er and her brother-in-law have such a good relationship. When do you plan to have a second child?"
Song Yuntang looked normal with a faint smile on his face.
"I stopped taking contraceptive pills at the beginning of the year, and I plan to let nature take its course from now on." He turned to look at her, "Second sister-in-law, don't learn from the eldest sister-in-law. Even if you want a second child, you have to take care of your body before making plans. If you hurt yourself later, you will be the one who suffers."
Mu Qiu shook his head.
"Juan'er was just born, and I haven't even raised this one yet, so I naturally won't consider having a second one in the short term. If I really want one, I'll ask you to take my pulse first, and then I'll make plans if you nod."
Song Yuntang patted his chest and made the promise.
"I can't say anything else, but I can take care of the pulse diagnosis."
Mu Qiu looked at her expression and sighed with emotion.
"When I first met you, I always thought you were aloof and aloof. After you married your brother-in-law, you became more childish, which is good."
This shows that her brother-in-law really dotes on her.
Tang'er is a person who cannot tolerate any grain of sand in her eyes. If the rumors in the capital are true, she will not even be able to show her face.
Fortunately, Brother Jinsheng had heard the rumors before and endured it for a while.
If this really ruins my brother-in-law's business, it would be a big disaster.
