Chapter 583 Second Son Xu Yunxiao
As the two were talking, Mrs. Tang came home with the imperial physician.
"Did Tang'er give birth?"
A servant in the yard bowed to her.
"To reply to Madam Tang, not yet."
In the room, after Song Yuntang chatted with Xu Qingye for a while, he felt the pain in his abdomen becoming more and more severe. He could no longer maintain his composure and showed a look of pain.
Seeing this, Xu Qingye frowned.
The midwife looked at Xu Qingye.
"Sir, please wait outside. I am about to start delivering the baby for Madam."
There were two midwives this time, one came from the palace and the other was sent by Madam Tang, both of them were reliable people.
Xu Qingye didn't say anything.
Song Yuntang looked at him.
"Go and accompany Hao Ting first. The child is sensitive. Now that his parents are not at home, you should pay more attention to him and don't let him feel neglected."
Xu Qingye nodded.
"Hao Ting and I are waiting for you outside the delivery room."
……
As the contractions became more intense and the time intervals became shorter, Song Yuntang tried hard to adjust his breathing and did not let himself make any sound.
The birth of the second child was a little faster than the birth of Haoting. Before it got dark, the sound of a baby crying could be heard in the house.
"Born, born!"
Outside the delivery room, Mu Qiu, who was standing by the door listening to the noise inside, shouted excitedly.
When the people in the yard heard the noise, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
Immediately afterwards, a midwife came out of the delivery room holding the baby who had just been cleaned and wrapped in swaddling clothes.
"Congratulations, Master Xu, another young master."
Xu Qingye stepped forward and took the child from the midwife's arms.
"How is Tang'er?"
The midwife smiled happily.
"Madam, you're fine. You're in good spirits right now."
Xu Qingye hurriedly instructed Guiping.
"Go prepare the red envelopes."
Guiping bowed hurriedly.
"My lord, everything is ready."
Xu Qingye nodded slightly, "Distribute it. Everyone in the mansion will have a share."
She handed the child in her arms to Mrs. Zhao and Mrs. Tang for care. Seeing that the delivery room had been cleaned up, she took Hao Ting into the house.
Seeing the father and son enter the room, Song Yuntang smiled and extended his hand to Hao Ting.
"Hao Ting has seen his younger brother?"
Hao Ting nodded
"Daddy just showed Hao Ting to me." The child blinked curiously, "Mom, how was my brother born? Did he appear from Mom's belly?"
Song Yuntang smiled and said, "When Hao Ting grows up, he will naturally know."
Seeing that although her face was a little pale, she was still in good spirits, Xu Qingye finally breathed a sigh of relief and touched his son's head.
"Mom just gave birth to my little brother and she needs to recover. Can Hao Ting go to the yard to see my little brother again?"
The child nodded obediently and went to the yard to see his younger brother impatiently.
After seeing Hao Ting leave, Song Yuntang looked at Xu Qingye.
"Have you thought of a name for the child?"
The man looked gentle.
"Tang'er, why don't you try to pick one?"
Song Yuntang lay back, shook his head and said, "You should do it. I can treat patients, but I'm really not good at naming. Just look at how I named my two dogs before."
Thinking of the two dogs given to her before, which were named Dahuang and Xiaobai, and later Xiaobai was renamed Jiangjun, Xu Qingye couldn't help laughing.
Song Yuntang glanced at the man who was smiling slightly, and there was also a smile on the corner of his lips.
"Giving birth to a child is hard enough for me, don't give me this kind of mental work."
"If I come to get it..."
The man thought for a moment and looked at her again.
"How is Yunxiao? Xu Yunxiao."
Song Yuntang murmured.
"Hao Ting and Yun Xiao, one is gentle and reserved, the other is hardworking and enterprising. They each have their own characteristics, and the meaning is also good. It's very good."
……
Although the imperial physician and Doctor Zhou only came to his house for a short visit, Guiping still followed Xu Qingye's instructions and prepared red envelopes before sending them away.
Xu Qingye has now taken leave from the court. Apart from setting aside some time every day to handle official business, he spends the rest of his time taking care of Song Yuntang and the two children.
Although there were no elders in the family when the child was born, Zhao and Song Jinbao often came, and Mrs. Tang also sent a lot of supplements to the home.
Not only that, after the palace learned the news of Song Yuntang's childbirth, several concubines and the emperor also rewarded her with many good things.
Coupled with the careful care of many confidants in the mansion and the sense of security given to her by Xu Qingye, Song Yuntang recovered very well and the child grew up very well.
On the day the child was born, Xu Qingye wrote a letter and had it delivered to Lushan Village.
He could imagine how happy the elders in the family would be when they heard the news of the baby's birth.
Ever since his younger brother was born, Hao Ting would go to see him whenever he had free time, always hoping that his younger brother would grow up quickly so that he could play with him.
……
For a period of time thereafter, news of victory at the border came one after another from the court.
After Daxia pretended to be the barbarians of the northern border and slowed down the Western Region army, it quickly took over the northern border with the help of the existing gunpowder.
Since then, Daxia and Northern Xinjiang signed a ceasefire treaty, and Northern Xinjiang had to pay tribute to Daxia every year in the form of wood arrows, stone needles, sable furs, ginseng, and eastern pearls.
Seeing that the situation was already decided, the Western Regions army returned home in disgrace halfway through their journey.
They only claimed to the outside world that they were conducting military training.
When Xu Wencheng returned to Beijing from the border at the end of the year to report, Xu Yongwang and Jiang had not yet arrived in Beijing.
This time he accompanied the Duke of Zhenguo to the northern border, made great contributions on the battlefield, and was named general.
However, Xu Wencheng was not a man who was good at manipulating power, nor did he care much about the rank of his official position. He knew that the emperor was very suspicious, so in order to prevent him from having murderous intentions, he handed over all the military power in his hands when he reported back.
He just said that when Daxia needs him again in the future, he will be granted military power again.
Now that the war is over, he has nothing to do and helps Song Yuntang take care of the two children at home every day.
He is now of marriageable age.
Song Yuntang cheered up and began to frequently attend gatherings of the circle of noble ladies in the capital, looking for a woman who would suit Xu Wencheng's taste.
Whenever he sees something he likes, he will ask him to find an opportunity to take a look at it from a distance.
If they hit it off, she would act as a matchmaker and slowly bring them together.
However, most women in the boudoir are timid. She searched for more than three months, but no one caught her eye.
Xu Qingye served in the court for thirty years, and eventually became the chief minister, and concurrently served as the prince's tutor. After the prince ascended the throne, he successfully became the regent.
He holds great power and holds a very high position in the court.
After Song Yuntang gave birth to her second son, in addition to taking care of her husband and children, she gradually focused her energy on business.
Her shops gradually spread across Daxia, the Western Regions, the Northern Frontier and overseas. She earned a huge amount of silver and became a legend in the business world.
However, she did not keep the money she earned for herself, but instead voluntarily handed over part of it to the court, maintaining the interest relationship between her and the court.
After all, if this deal is to continue for a long time, it needs the protection of those in power.
The two of them achieved great success and raised a son who was both talented in literature and martial arts.
A few years later, Xu Qingye, who had already known the will of heaven, resigned from his official position, left his son to study in Beijing, 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 rested beside his tombstone.
