Song Wan Yue nodded, “There’s nothing going on at home these days, is there? ”
“In reply to your words, no. Both the old gentleman and the First Lady have been in good health as well.”
Song Wangyue was most worried about the two’s health, it was getting cold and it was the high season for illnesses, hearing that the two were fine, she put her heart down.
Song Wan Yue and Song Yin, one on each side, walked in holding Song Rui’s hand.
The watchman was so shocked that his eyes went wide.
Today Grandma Song and Master Song happened to be there.
They came over every few days, especially now that there was no more farm work in the house, and they came to stay here for a day or two to talk with Old Man and Meng.
Xu has been staying here to keep her mother and grandfather company, while Song Lin has been running both ways, but no matter how busy he is, he has to rush back to the county every evening.
At the moment, the family is making dumplings in the dining room.
The old man had always practised that a gentleman should stay away from the kitchen, but since he had come to Qingping County, he had watched the old man roll out the skin every time the dumplings were made. He found it interesting, so he tried to follow suit, and now he has a good sense of style in both rolling and wrapping the dumplings.
The sound of stomping footsteps came.
The servants in the mansion were all sent over from Xu Yan and knew the rules very well, but this was the first time they had been so excited and ran to the kitchen door in one breath, “The girl is back.”
Yue’er had returned.
A few people were overjoyed and put down the work they were doing to look out, but when they saw Song Wan Yue and a man holding a child’s hand enter, their smiles froze on their faces.
It was Xu who made the first sound, “Yue, Yue’er ……”
Song Wan Yue wanted to surprise her family, so she didn’t have anyone tell her in advance that she was bringing Song Rui back. Seeing their expressions, she knew they were thinking too much, and her eyebrows curled up in a smile, “This is Rui’er.”
Rui’er?
Her grandson!
Grandma Song reacted first and went forward to pick up Song Rui, looking left and right, while Master Song also went over quickly, “Let me hold him.”
Xu was staring at Song Yin, for some reason, she felt a familiarity with this man.
“Yue’er, he is ……”
“His name is Song Yin, I met him when I went to the border, we fell in love at first sight, he came over to propose marriage.”
Her words, like a thunderbolt exploding in everyone’s ears, exploded dumbfounded, staring at her dumbfounded.
“Grandfather, grandmother, uncle, aunt, grandmother, great-grandfather.”
Song Yin called out to the people one by one.
Several people had not yet recovered from the thunderstorm, so naturally no one paid any attention, and Yue’er did not introduce Song Yin at all.
The young man in front of him was not quite red in the lips and white in the teeth, but he had a heroic aura, and his appearance was not dissimilar to Gu Yi’s. Xu’s lips moved a few times before she made a sound, “Come, come, come in quickly, come in and sit down.”
Song Wan Yue almost laughed out loud, and winked mischievously at Song Yin with her side head.
Song Yin also smiled.
This time, not only Xu, but also the nervous Song Lin felt that Song Yin looked familiar, and he couldn’t help but scratch his head, wondering where he had seen him before.
“This is not the place to talk, let’s go to the parlour.”
It was the old man who came back to his senses first.
He hadn’t expected Yue’er to find herself a husband after her trip to the border.
Everyone went to the parlour and took their seats.
Six pairs of eyes fell on Song Yin in unison.
My name is Song Yin, I have no father or mother, I was a lieutenant in a military camp at the border, but a few days ago I was ambushed by the enemy and injured my left arm, so I could not serve in the army. I like her, very, very much, and I hope that my aunts and uncles, grandparents, grandmother and great-grandfather will make it possible.”
He spoke unhurriedly and with just the right attitude, so that even the old gentleman could not pick out any faults.
But Xu and Song Lin both felt a sense of familiarity, so how could he have felt it? Not only did he feel it, he knew where it came from, so he was worried, worried that Yue’er had fallen for him because the man in front of him behaved a little like Gu Yi.
So instead of answering his words, he avoided asking, “To what extent has your left arm been injured?”
Song Yin slowly raised his left arm, but couldn’t lift it halfway up.
Luckily, it wasn’t completely ruined.
Everyone was slightly relieved when Grandma Song spoke out, “Sit down first, and talk slowly about what’s going on.”
He had only given his name, he had no father or mother, he hadn’t said how old he was and what his plans were for the future. It was impossible for Yue’er to go too far from home, at most to marry in Qingping County.
Song Yin sat down, and without waiting for the crowd to ask, he added, “I no longer have any family, so I will be wherever Yue’er is in the future.”
He would stay wherever Yue’er was, did that mean he would stay in Qingping County?
The Song family was delighted, and Grandma Song was even happier, almost saying yes.
As long as Yue’er was close by, they didn’t care about the terms and conditions, as the Song family was now so big and prosperous that one more person would have no problem eating white rice.
The old man was always looking at Song Yin, and he did not hesitate when he said that he would be where Yue’er was, but he even looked at Yue’er when he said that.
But because of this, he was even more worried, it was this kind of look that Gu Yi used to have when he looked at Yue’er.
He coughed lightly, “You are tired from the journey, go and rest first, we will send someone to call you when we have made the dumplings.”
“I can help, my parents went early and there are some jobs I can do.”
Grandma Song was heartbroken, “No, no, listen, you go and rest.”
When the two went out, Grandma Song was overjoyed, “This is wonderful, we don’t have to worry that Yue’er will marry far away.”
“Not so ……”
Meng was also happy, she had told Xu more than once that Yue’er would either marry in Qingping County or in the capital in the future, except for these two places, the rest would not work, and Song Yin fit their criteria exactly.
“Let’s go and wrap dumplings.”
Grandma Song was so happy that she couldn’t even care about her heavy grandson and went to the kitchen with Meng on her feet.
Xu and Song Lin also followed.
Master Song was holding his grandson, who was rare and rare again.
The old man, on the other hand, went back to his courtyard and instructed Xu Liang, “Go and see if Yue’er has gone back to her own courtyard and ask her to come over.”
Xu Liang answered and went away.
Not long afterwards, Song Wan Yue came over with Song Yin.
The old gentleman glared at Xu Liang who was following him, he had something to ask Yue’er, how was he going to ask Song Yin when he came with him?
Xu Liang was wronged, he only said that Old Mister had asked her to come over when he saw Miss Sun return to his courtyard, but he didn’t expect that Miss Sun would drag Song Yin over with her after hearing that.
“You guard the courtyard entrance, don’t let anyone in.”
Song Wangyue instructed.
Xu Liang quickly went to the courtyard entrance to keep watch.
Song Yin walked up to the old man, knelt straight down, raised his hand and tore the human skin mask off his face.
