The sound of horses’ hoofs came from far and near, and in the blink of an eye they reached the entrance to the barracks.
The soldiers guarding the barracks saw the man on the horse and immediately opened the gate, “General.”
Shen Yan sat on his horse, looking down at the scarlet-eyed Song Yin without anger, “Go back!”
“Why?”
Song Yin roared.
“Because you don’t deserve it.”
Shen Yan got down from his horse and walked up to her, “With Miss Song’s fame today, you, a small lieutenant, are not worthy of her.”
“But I have my heart set on her.”
Song Yin’s fists were clenched, as if he was about to strike at Shen Yan at any moment, and several of Lieutenant Wei’s men were busy walking closer, staring at him, in case he made a move.
“Can Xin Yi protect her from disasters? Can she remove the potential danger for her? Just like the assassination she encountered today, how can you protect her if you are not by her side? Song Yin, when you love a girl, you don’t just take her for yourself, but you have to think of her in every way, consider whether you can hold up the sky for her, so that she can live a carefree life under your protection from now on, ask yourself, can you do that?”
He could not.
Song Yin knew that whether it was holding up the sky for her or making her carefree in the future, he could not do it himself.
He took two steps back and crouched down to clutch his head, like a wounded beast letting out a whimper of grief and anger.
The few people who looked at him were heartbroken and wanted to advise, but they opened their mouths but did not know what to say.
The general was right, if it was another girl, even if she was a rich girl, they could help Song Yin find a way to marry her, but not Song Wan Yue, her reputation was too strong and there was no telling how many people had their eyes on her, and Song Yin was always at the border, so he could not protect her.
“It’s not like there’s no way out.”
The whimpering sound immediately stopped, Song Yin raised his head, and several of Lieutenant Wei’s men also looked at Shen Yan.
“You can make more war achievements, take my place and ask the emperor to grant you a marriage.”
Light instantly erupted in Song Yin’s eyes.
……
Inside the general’s residence, Song Wan Yue accompanied Shen Ya to play in the courtyard, the little person was very happy and the courtyard was filled with her laughter.
Ming watched from the side, her face all smiles.
Ever since Song Wangyue had come to the General’s residence, the house had become much livelier than before.
Song Wangyue caught up with the little one and picked her up, holding her up and spinning her around twice, and the little one’s laughter became even more joyful.
Ming smiled and said, “Put her down quickly, don’t tire yourself.”
Song Wangyue put the little person down, saw that she had sweat on the tip of her nose, took out a handkerchief and wiped it for her, leading her little hand over to Ming, who bent slightly to take her daughter’s other hand into the room.
Inside the house, hot tea, snacks and rare melons and fruits were laid out.
As they sat down, Shen Ya stood on tiptoe and moved the plate with the melons and fruits towards Song Wan Yue, “Sister, you eat.”
Seeing how much her daughter liked Song Wangyue, Ming smiled again and said, “Now that the medicine house is finished, tomorrow Ya’er and I will take Miss Song around.”
“I’m planning to go back tomorrow.”
Ming was surprised, “So soon?”
“I’ve been out for almost a month, my family is still worried, so I can go back sooner to put their minds at ease. By the way, if you and General Shen have anything to bring back, you can prepare it.”
Ming missed her son, she hadn’t seen him for four years and didn’t know how he had grown up. She made clothes for him every year and this year was no exception, but she didn’t know if he could wear the clothes she made.
Seeing that she looked a bit gloomy, Song Wangyue guessed something, she smiled without moving, “I’ll go out later.”
Ming was subconsciously about to ask her what she was going to do, but just as she opened her mouth, she saw her daughter snuggling into Song Wangyue’s arms, “I’ll go with sister.”
Song Wangyue doted on her and pinched her little nose, “Okay.”
Ming didn’t ask any more questions and ordered someone to prepare the carriage.
Song Wangyue took
Shen Ya to Song Yin’s home.
She hadn’t come for a few days in a row and hadn’t eaten the delicious food she had promised to cook for her. Dr. Yao was very unhappy and fiddled with herbs with his head down, pretending not to see her.
“I’m going back tomorrow.”
The movement in Daifu Yao’s hand gave a beat, but he still didn’t look up, just gave a heavy hum.
“So, feel free to mention what you want to eat, you won’t be able to mention it after today.”
“Hot pot.”
Yao Daifu blurted out.
Only after saying it did he feel that he had spoken too quickly, too cheaply for Song Wangyue, and added, “To eat the pot base you boiled yourself.”
The hot pot base was also sold to this side, but the border was bitterly cold and there were very few different kinds of dishes, plus Song Yin spent a large part of his time in the military camp, so Dr. Yao was too embarrassed to eat hot pot alone, he had been here for several years and had not eaten it several times, so he had long been craving it.
This is the easiest.
Song Wan Yue first went to the kitchen and looked around, made a list for people to buy ingredients back, and then moved a small stool for Shen Ya to sit on the side, first made her some small snacks to eat, and then she started to boil the pot base, spicy and bone broth.
The fragrant and familiar smell wafted out of the kitchen and everyone in the mansion gulped, and naturally, Dr Yao was no exception.
The butler immediately sent someone to call.
Song Yin came back very quickly, as soon as he stepped into the house, the disguised expression on his face instantly dispersed, replaced by a smile, and his steps were also very fast, almost darting to the kitchen without his feet touching the ground.
“Little girl ……”
The words have not yet finished shouting, saw sitting on the side eating snacks Shen Ya, shouting stopped, eyes turned, walked over to squat down.
“Uncle Song.”
The little man swallowed what was in his mouth and called out to him.
“Is it good?”
The little man nodded.
“Is it good for Uncle to taste?”
“Good.”
Song Yin picked one up and put it in his mouth, it was crunchy and delicious, he reached for another one, and another, and another ……
The little man quit and rushed to protect the rest in his arms, “No more.”
Song Wan Yue lost a laugh out, “Well, you do not tease her, if you like to eat, I will make you some.”
Song Yin scratched the little man’s nose and proudly showed off, “See, your sister Yue’er is the best to me.”
“It’s not ……”, the little human retorted with a puff of anger, “Sister Yue’er is the best to me, not only does she make me delicious food, she also plays with me.”
“What kind of delicious food is that for you, she has made me jelly and pudding and so many other things you have never eaten, so she is the best for me and she will make me delicious food for the rest of my life.”
After saying that, ignoring the little man’s look of about to cry, he got up and walked to Song Wangyue’s side.
Song Wan Yue laughed and glared at him, “Bullying a child, are you young and childish?”
