Chapter 603: A Short Separation Is Better Than a New Marriage (End)
Xu Changgen's parents nodded and praised Nian'er as a sensible and filial girl.
Xu Changgen realized it later and looked at her in disbelief.
"You agree to marry me?"
Nian'er coughed falsely and suppressed her smile, "You haven't gotten married yet, don't be too happy too soon."
The corners of Xu Changgen's lips were almost stretched to his ears.
"As long as you agree, it's okay for me to wait a little longer."
Looking at their son's useless appearance, Xu's father and mother just felt it was too much to bear.
However, Xu Yuande and several uncles and aunts were very happy when they met him.
Nian'er had a very hard life before, and her life only got better after she followed Tang'er. It would be perfect if she could marry someone who understands her.
Song Yuntang exchanged a glance with Jinshu, and then he saw Jinshu taking a box from the house.
She took the box and handed it to Nian'er.
"I asked Xia Ning to go to the county town a few days ago and change your slave status to civilian household registration. The contract of sale has also been destroyed. Here is your new household registration and dowry. Take it."
Nian'er held the box in her hands and cried with emotion.
If her parents gave her life, then her cousin's wife was the greatest benefactor in her life, which was equivalent to giving her a second life.
She suddenly knelt down towards Song Yuntang, startling everyone in the room, but none of the elders of the Xu family thought it was inappropriate.
Tang'er saved Nian'er twice, and she deserves her kneeling.
"What are you doing? Get up!"
Song Yuntang pretended to help her, but saw Nian'er kowtowed to her three times quickly.
"Thank you, cousin! If it weren't for cousin, Nian'er wouldn't be where he is today."
Song Yuntang reached out and helped her up, with a look of relief on his face.
"Okay, we're all family, so don't be so formal with me. You've helped me a lot over the years, and even if you get married in the future, you still have to continue to work hard for me."
Nian'er wiped her tears and laughed while crying.
"Nian'er will definitely do his best."
Song Yuntang nodded and looked at Xu Changgen, "I have always treated Nian'er as my sister. From now on, I will leave her to you to take care of. Treat her well."
Xu Changgen bowed to her.
"Please rest assured, sister-in-law."
…
Song Yuntang took the children to stay at home until October, and only returned to Beijing with them after Gu Xinjiu's pregnancy was stable.
A short absence is better than a new marriage.
The couple had been separated for a month and a half, and the courtyard was filled with the sound of music and singing until the middle of the night.
At the end of the following year, Gu Xinjiu gave birth to a baby boy.
Xu Wencheng felt that his elder brother had just asked him to name the child. Because the child was born in the first month of the year, and Da Xia was now peaceful and prosperous, Xu Qingye named the child Xu Chuyao, meaning the rising sun and the year of Yao and Shun.
…
Written after the article——
Xu Qingye served in the court for thirty years and eventually became the chief minister. After the eldest prince Li Xi'an was named crown prince, he also served as the crown prince's tutor. After the crown prince ascended the throne, he successfully became the regent.
He holds great power and holds a very high position in the court.
While Song Yuntang was practicing medicine, he gradually focused his energy on business.
Her shops gradually spread across Daxia, the Western Regions, the Northern Frontier and overseas. She earned huge amounts of money and became a legend in the business world.
However, she did not keep the money she earned for herself, but took the initiative to hand over part of it to the court, maintaining the interest relationship between her and the court.
After all, if this deal is to be maintained for a long time, it requires the protection of those in power.
The two of them achieved a lot and raised a son who was both talented in literature and martial arts.
A few years later, Xu Qingye, who had already known the destiny of life, resigned from his official position, left his son in Beijing to study, and took his wife back to the farm in Cile Town, where he lived a carefree retirement life for more than ten years.
Until he dies of old age.
He was sixty-eight years old.
And Song Yuntang lived to be seventy-two.
Eleven years after Xu Qingye's death, he was buried beside his tombstone.
