Chapter 494: Fate brings us together, and fate ends when fate ends
Song Yuntang nodded.
"Let Lan Xin and Zhi Ruo sort out the things in the carriage. Let's go to the Tang Mansion first. We can't keep Mr. and Mrs. Tang waiting for too long."
We met and sat down to chat and then left. We didn't plan to have lunch there, so there was no need to bring the children with us.
After all, if you bring a child, you have to bring a wet nurse, and it is always inappropriate to bring a whole family to meet the elders.
Song Yuntang left his son at home, asking Xia Ning and Xu to take good care of him, and then he, Xu Qingye, took Jinshu and Guiping to the Tang Mansion.
Upon learning that the two were coming, the Tang residence's housekeeper and the old nanny beside Old Madam Tang were already waiting at the door.
Seeing the two people coming, Nanny Chen hurried forward.
"Master Xu and the county lady are finally here."
Xu Qingye got off the carriage and asked, "Madame Chen, are the teacher and his wife in the mansion?"
"Mr. Xu sent someone to deliver the invitation in advance, so the master and his wife are naturally in the mansion." Nanny Chen said with a smile, "When they learned that Mr. Xu and the county lady were coming, the master and his wife were very happy. They asked me to make some snacks for the county lady early in the morning. They are waiting in the courtyard now."
As Nanny Chen spoke, she looked at Song Yuntang who was being helped out of the carriage by Xu Qingye.
When I was in Anyang County before, I had only heard of the county lady's name but had never seen her in person.
Seeing her now, this girl is dignified, gentle, elegant, with outstanding temperament. The charm between her eyebrows and eyes is somewhat similar to that of the deceased lady.
Thinking of this, she was shocked in her heart.
No wonder the lady asked her to make all the snacks that the young lady used to love to eat. Did she see the young lady's shadow in the county princess?
But in my impression, the lady seems to have never seen the county princess.
How do you know what the county lord looks like? What kind of temperament?
Song Yuntang nodded to Nanny Chen, "Hello, Nanny Chen."
Nanny Chen's face was full of submissiveness.
"You are too polite, my lady. Please follow me into the mansion. The master and his wife are waiting for you."
Song Yuntang nodded, and together with Xu Qingye, followed Nanny Chen into the Tang Mansion.
She looked curious.
"Madame Chen, how did Madam Tang know that I like dim sum?"
Nanny Chen turned around and smiled at her. "How can an old servant like me know what the masters are thinking? But the county lady is not very old. Madam may think that a younger generation like the county lady would like sweets."
Song Yuntang nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
The two entered through the main gate, walked around the screen wall, and went through the corridor, and then they saw two old men waiting in the main hall in front of them.
One of them, Song Yuntang had seen before. He was the old gentleman she had treated before. The last time she treated him, she invited him to dinner at Mingyue Tower.
But she never asked the old man's name.
But I didn't expect to see him here now.
No wonder she said at that time that they would never see each other again, but he didn't take it seriously and said that maybe they would see each other again in the future.
I see!
She didn't know Mr. Tang, but Mr. Tang knew her.
When he arrived in front of the two, Xu Qingye bowed and said, "Teacher, Master's wife, I am here with my wife. I am sorry to have kept you waiting for a long time."
Song Yuntang also bowed to the two elders generously.
"I have met Mr. Tang and Mrs. Tang. Originally, I should have come to visit you as soon as I arrived in the capital, but I just gave birth to Hao Ting not long ago, and I was busy looking for a courtyard to look after the child, so I was delayed for a few days. I hope you two can forgive me."
"No problem." Mrs. Tang smiled and stepped forward to help the two of them up. "Why are you two here? Where's Xiao Haoting?"
Xu Qingye returned.
"The child is only two months old. I was worried that he would disturb the peace of the teacher and his wife, so I left him at home."
Mrs. Tang pretended to blame.
"Your teacher and I are looking forward to having a few children at home. Next time you come, you must bring your children with you."
Xu Qingye nodded.
"Next time, for sure."
After Mrs. Tang asked the two to sit down, Tang Jingshan stroked his beard and looked at Song Yuntang.
"Little girl, I haven't seen you for more than a year. Are you all right?"
Song Yuntang smiled and said, "All good. I didn't expect that the old gentleman who came to see me before was actually my husband's teacher. I didn't know his identity at the time. If there is anything inconsiderate, I hope the old gentleman will forgive me."
As she spoke, she bowed in the direction of Mr. Tang.
He looks calm, composed and generous.
Seeing this, Tang Jingshan waved his hand and said, "My Lady, you are too kind. After all, I didn't tell you my true identity at that time. Moreover, you just treated me as an ordinary patient. You were neither disrespectful nor rude. I hope you won't blame me for hiding my true identity from you."
Song Yuntang shook his head, "Of course not. Patients also have their own privacy. Besides, for an old gentleman like you, it's a good thing to be cautious when you are outside."
There was a hint of surprise in Xu Qingye's eyes.
"Teacher and Tang'er have met?"
Thinking back to the time when he was in the Tang Mansion, there were indeed a few times when the teacher would come back from going out and look at him with an expression as if he wanted to say something but stopped.
No wonder.
But I didn’t think about it at that time.
"Of course I have met her before." Mr. Tang said with a smile, "It's just that when we met before, I knew her, but she didn't know me."
"Sir, has your back pain recurred since you came to the capital?" Song Yuntang looked at him and asked.
Tang Jingshan shook his head. "Ever since the county lady treated me, my waist hasn't hurt for a long time."
"That's good." Song Yuntang took the gift box from Jinshu and handed it to Old Madam Tang. "This is the old mountain ginseng that I brought from Anyang County. It is perfect for nourishing the body. I hope Old Madam won't dislike it."
Upon seeing this, Nanny Chen hurried forward to take it.
Mrs. Tang’s face was full of intimacy.
"You kid, you sent us all these good things, tiger skin, old mountain ginseng, inkstone, etc. You are so thoughtful."
Song Yuntang smiled generously and said, "You two elders are my husband's teacher and master's wife. As the ancients said, once a teacher, you are a father for life. It is our duty to respect you two elders."
There was respect and awe in his expression, but no deliberate attempt to please.
Mrs. Tang looked at her with this expression, as if she was looking through her at someone.
"Old Tang told me before that the county lady sometimes looks a lot like my daughter. I was skeptical at first, but now that I see her, there are indeed some similarities."
Nanny Chen also smiled and said, "When I saw the county lady outside the mansion just now, I was also stunned."
Ever since the young lady passed away, the lady has been in poor spirits and depressed in the past few years.
She served cautiously, not daring to mention the young lady at all, for fear of upsetting the lady.
It would be good if seeing the county lady could give Madam some hope for the future.
Song Yuntang had some knowledge of the identity of Mr. Tang's daughter beforehand.
So she roughly understood what Mrs. Tang meant at this moment.
"I have heard a saying before, everything in the world comes together because of fate, and disperses when the fate ends. Maybe this is fate."
