Chapter 504 It's Hard to Find Your Home Again
At first, Xu Yuande only ate the clear soup pot, but when he saw his children and grandchildren eating the spicy pot with gusto, he couldn't help but try it as well.
In the end, I was sweating all over from the spiciness, but I couldn't stop eating.
Mrs. Hu looked at him with a smile.
"Look at you, it's so spicy, and you're still eating it."
Xu Yuande laughed as he breathed in, "It's refreshing to sweat in the winter!"
Seeing this, Song Yuntang hurriedly ordered Jinshu to prepare goat's milk to relieve the spiciness for him.
"Grandma can try some too. The spicy hotpot has a unique flavor."
After a brief hesitation, Hu picked up a small piece of meat, put it into the spicy pot, and blew on it after it was cooked. As soon as he took a bite, he stuck out his tongue because of the spiciness.
"No, it's too spicy!"
Seeing her funny look, Xu Yuande couldn't help laughing and patted her on the back.
"You usually eat light food, so don't eat this spicy hotpot. It might damage your health."
Adhering to the principle of not wasting food, Mrs. Hu still ate the slices of meat.
Although it is a bit too spicy to bear, I have to say that the taste is still very good, spicy and tasty.
Just at this moment, Jinshu brought a pot of goat's milk.
"Ma'am, goat's milk is here."
Song Yuntang took it and quickly poured a small cup for Hu.
"Grandma, drink some goat milk to relieve the spiciness."
Then he poured a glass each for Xu Yuande and Xu Yongwang and his wife.
After drinking more than half a cup of goat's milk, Mrs. Hu realized that the spicy taste in her mouth had dissipated a little. After that, she dared not touch the spicy soup anymore.
Because they had sweated a lot while eating the hotpot, and to avoid catching a cold, after the meal, Song Yuntang asked the servants to prepare hot water and let everyone go back to their rooms to wash up.
Afterwards, she asked Rendong to warm up the west wing and give Hao Ting a bath.
The six and a half month old little one is very clever and has more and more ideas. When he is in high spirits, he can play with her for most of the hour.
After taking a bath, Xu Qingye saw that Song Yuntang had not returned to her room for a long time. Knowing that she was probably accompanying her son again, he put on his cloak and went to the west wing.
My hair was a little wet after taking a shower.
It was warm inside the house, but freezing cold outside, with alternating temperatures. When I came to the west wing from the main house, white frost had already formed on my head.
Song Yuntang heard the noise at the door and looked back. When he saw his hair full of white frost, he was stunned for a moment and suddenly his eyes became red.
Seeing this, Xu Qingye's originally gentle expression became serious.
"What's wrong?"
When he came closer, Song Yuntang realized that she had seen it wrong. She rubbed her eyes embarrassedly.
"Nothing, I just saw it wrongly and thought you had white hair again."
When he learned of her death, his hair turned white overnight. After more than half a year of treatment, it finally turned black. The scene just now reminded her of the past.
Xu Qingye smiled gently and took her into his arms.
"Even if you don't trust my body, you have to trust your own medical skills. Don't let your imagination run wild."
I was careless.
From now on, when I go out on a cold day, I have to dry my hair indoors, otherwise she will become sentimental again when she sees it.
Then he said, "Your Majesty secretly sent me to Hongjiang City after the New Year. Tang'er is like this now, I am reluctant to leave."
Nowadays, the business of Yujun Pavilion is being monitored by Song Jinsheng and Mu Qiu, Mingyue Tower is run by Manager Miao and Chef Zhang, the clinic is run by Doctor Zhou and Doctor Sun, Huajianzui is run by Fang Tianci and his wife and Chen, and the clothing shop is run by Xiao Yanzhou and Jiang Surao.
There are corresponding people in charge of the farm and the factory shed.
Before any business matters reached her, they would first go through Nian'er. With fewer things left for her to deal with, she was happy to have some free time. She had been at home taking care of her husband and children for the past six months, and her temperament had become increasingly gentle and obedient.
The more she was like this, the more he couldn't let go.
Song Yuntang was stunned for a moment and looked up at him.
"How long will it take?"
Xu Qingye thought for a moment and said, "At least one month, at most half a year."
Hearing this, Song Yuntang felt a little reluctant.
"You have been promoted for less than half a month. Why would His Majesty send you to such a far place? How about Hao Ting and I accompany you?"
Xu Qingye shook his head and said, "I am going here to investigate a matter for His Majesty. This matter involves the shady officialdom. I am worried that it will be dangerous for you and your son to follow me. I have already asked His Majesty for permission. After I leave, he will send someone to secretly look after you."
The man looked serious.
"So, it's safer for you to stay in the capital than to follow me."
It is not convenient to say what the investigation is about now.
But in order to prevent her from having too many thoughts, he could only say this much.
After hearing what he said, Song Yuntang did not insist and looked worried.
"Will you be in danger?"
In the past six months, her son has been well-behaved and her husband has been considerate, and these have been the happiest days of her life in recent years.
It seemed that only with him around did she feel at home.
If he were gone, she might be able to raise the child on her own, but like a lone boat in the ocean, it would be difficult for her to find her home again.
Some people make up their minds and that’s for life.
Xu Qingye smiled in comfort.
"I'll be fine. His Majesty will send someone to follow me." Then he asked her, "The New Year is coming soon. Is there anything Tang'er wants or somewhere she wants to go?"
Song Yuntang shook his head.
"I have everything I need." She looked at Xu Qingye, "When does your annual leave start?"
"Two more days."
Song Yuntang thought about it.
"We have seven days off for the New Year holidays, and we can't go to Anyang County, so we should stay at home. It's very cold today, and grandparents are old, and Hao Ting is only half a year old. It would be bad if we go out and get cold."
Xu Qingye nodded.
"As you say."
There was a kang in the room, which made it especially warm. Hao Ting wasn't wearing much clothing, so he moved smoothly.
After talking to his parents for a while, he seemed to feel sleepy, so he stretched his arms and legs and yawned with his mouth open.
Song Yuntang glanced in his direction and his heart softened.
"Are you sleepy, Hao Ting?" She patted his little butt gently. "Go to sleep, your parents are here."
The child may have understood what she said. He grinned at her, and after a while he slowly closed his eyes and fell asleep.
Seeing that the child fell asleep, Song Yuntang and Xu Qingye returned to the main house.
"Nian'er should be able to arrive in the capital tomorrow. I think there is another room in the courtyard where my parents and grandparents live. Do you think it is appropriate to arrange for her to stay there? I think if she is arranged in a courtyard alone, she will not only feel uncomfortable but also lonely."
Xu Qingye hummed.
"Just let her stay with grandpa and grandma. You can take care of the household affairs. I trust you."
Song Yuntang took off his cloak.
"Okay, I'll have someone clean up the east wing tomorrow morning." She yawned and got into bed. "Go to bed early. You have to get up early to attend court tomorrow."
Xu Qingye took off his clothes and lay down beside her. After looking in her direction, he reached out and held her in his arms.
There have been too many things going on in the court these days, and she had her period again. The two of them haven't performed the Zhougong ceremony for nearly half a month.
But when he didn't take the initiative, she never asked for it.
"Tang'er."
"Hmm?" Song Yuntang opened his eyes. "What's wrong?"
