Chapter 552: Why did he disappear for no reason?
After the first batch of gunpowder was produced, the emperor ordered Xu Qingye to serve as the fourth-rank ambassador to the Western Regions and to accompany Xuanlang Wang Li Huaishan, who had just returned to Beijing from his travels, to the western border.
The day of departure is three days later.
As they were about to separate, he asked the emperor for three days' leave the day before Chinese Valentine's Day, wanting to spend more time with his wife and children at home.
When Song Yuntang learned that he was leaving, he looked a little depressed.
Maybe it's because he's been around for so long that it's become a habit, and I'm more reluctant to part with him than any other time in the past.
It took Xu Qingye a long time to finally calm her down.
Just at this moment, Hao Ting started to climb onto Song Yuntang again.
"Mother~"
Xu Qingye held Hao Ting in his arms.
"Mother will be a little sad right now. Hao Ting, be good and don't make mother too hard, okay?"
The two-year-old child was very sensible. He did not cry or make a fuss, and his chubby little face had a serious expression.
"Hao Ting doesn't let mother suffer, can mother stop being sad?"
Song Yuntang suppressed his emotions and took the child from Xu Qingye with a smile.
"Mother didn't feel it was hard to hold Hao Ting, but your father was leaving, and mother was a little reluctant." She looked in the direction of Xu Qingye, "Haoting seems to be particularly attached to me recently, I don't know why?"
Jiang came into the house carrying the freshly cut watermelon.
"It's true. Your father and I have been unable to coax him away these days."
Xu Qingye listened, looked at his son, and asked patiently, "Why doesn't Hao Ting play with grandpa and grandma recently?"
Hao Ting hugged Song Yuntang tightly.
"I like mother."
Xu Qingye asked again, "Does Hao Ting no longer like grandpa and grandma?"
The child looked at two expectant faces not far away, then turned to look at Xu Qingye.
“I like it, too.”
Xu Qingye held his little hand.
"Hao Ting always wants to stay with mother, but does he feel that there is something different about mother recently?"
The child was stumped and couldn't answer for a while.
Jiang spent every day with Song Yuntang, so she naturally paid close attention to her.
She thought about it aside.
"Speaking of differences, Tang'er seems to be more sleepy than usual recently..." At this point, her eyes swept towards Song Yuntang's abdomen, "Could it be..."
My son and daughter-in-law have always had a good relationship. They have been sleeping in the same bed every day for more than a year, so it is not surprising that they are pregnant.
Song Yuntang realized it later and thought about it.
This month's period has been delayed by seven or eight days.
She had a good appetite a few days ago, but her taste has changed in recent days. She likes to eat sweet and sour food. Because it's been hot recently, she just thought it was due to the weather and didn't think about pregnancy.
She took her own pulse and found it smooth and harmonious. Combined with her own symptoms, the symptoms of pregnancy were already very obvious.
And the pulse on the left is obviously stronger than that on the right.
"Is it another son?"
Although it is not absolute, the probability is still relatively high.
I had been thinking of having a soft, cute and adorable little daughter after my son.
When I thought that it might be another son, I was happy but also a little regretful.
Isn't this following in the footsteps of my parents-in-law?
Before Xu Qingye married her, his mother-in-law had always been coveting other people's daughters.
When she was taking the pulse, Jiang, Xu Yongwang, Xu Qingye, as well as Xia Ning and Jinshu standing by were afraid to make a sound, but after hearing her words, they all smiled happily.
"Are you really pregnant?" Jiang asked excitedly.
Song Yuntang nodded calmly and lowered his head to touch his flat belly.
"Yes, I'm pregnant."
Xu Yongwang clapped his hands and laughed.
"Okay, your mother and I are going to be grandparents again. We have to write a letter back and tell your grandparents and uncle and aunt the good news."
After saying that, he hurried out of the main hall.
Jiang took Hao Ting off Song Yuntang.
"Hao Ting, be good. Mommy is pregnant with a brother or sister. You can't just go into your mommy's arms. Grandma will take you out to play, okay?"
Hao Ting looked at Song Yuntang's lower abdomen.
"Mother, will my brothers and sisters like Hao Ting?"
Song Yuntang had a gentle expression and a firm tone.
"He will definitely like Hao Ting as much as his parents and grandparents."
The child was very happy to hear this, and took Jiang's hand and went outside with her to play on the swing.
In the main hall, Xu Qingye squatted beside Song Yuntang and put his hand on her abdomen, feeling both happy and worried.
"I wasn't able to be with you when Tang'er was pregnant with Hao Ting. Now that you're pregnant, I'm afraid I won't be able to be with you again in the near future."
Song Yuntang shook his head.
"It's okay. You are going to do something important. Ensuring your own safety is more important than anything else. I will wait for you to come back in the capital with my two children and my parents."
…
The Chinese Valentine's Day in the capital was very lively. Xu Qingye originally wanted to take Song Yuntang to travel around the capital, but now she was pregnant and easily sleepy. She was worried about something happening, so she didn't go to crowded places.
After reassuring Xu Yongwang and Jiang again and again, he led Song Yuntang out.
The two went straight to a pier in the city, rented a small boat, and rowed along the busiest street in the city.
Along the streets, there are lanterns of various colors and shapes. Occasionally, you can see men and women squatting by the river releasing river lanterns, some praying for marriage, some praying for blessings.
Whenever they passed a crowded place, Xu Qingye would lower the cabin curtain, and the two of them would snuggle in the boat, drinking tea and eating snacks while looking at the night view outside.
Song Yuntang lay on his side on the mat with his head resting on Xu Qingye's legs.
"After having Hao Ting, I haven't gone out to play like this."
Xu Qingye nodded.
"The last time I took you on a boat trip was in Yingshan City. I've been too busy these past two years and haven't been able to take you out to relax."
Song Yuntang played with Xu Qingye's hand.
"I have a question for you."
Xu Qingye hummed.
"you say."
Song Yuntang looked in his direction and said, "If one day, I suddenly disappeared, what would you do?"
The man raised his eyebrows and looked at her in surprise.
"Why would it disappear for no reason?"
"I said if."
Song Yuntang felt that her presence was strange in the first place.
If I were to inexplicably return to my previous life from here, it would not be impossible.
Just in case, she wanted to give Xu Qingye some psychological hints.
Although she also wanted to grow old with him, and wanted to be with the children as they grew up and watch them get married and start their own families, if anything went wrong, he had to at least take good care of the two children.
The surprise in the man's eyes turned into contemplation, and finally to calmness.
"Although I think this situation is unlikely to happen, if such a day really comes, I will raise my two children while looking for you. I will always find you no matter where in the world you are."
Song Yuntang pursed his lips and smiled.
fine.
He is not a man who acts alone and knows that he has to take care of his two children.
"If I really disappear, you won't be able to find me, just like I suddenly appeared in this Great Xia Dynasty."
Xu Qingye felt as if something was pulling at his heart, making it hard for him to breathe.
"What's the meaning?"
