Chapter 93 Do you want to marry my cousin?
Women's military camp in the suburbs of Beijing.
Concubine Shu looked at Lin Boyan who came over with a confused look on her face.
"You want to marry my cousin?"
"Yes, I have admired Miss Song San for a long time, and I will not marry anyone else in this life." Lin Boyan swore sincerely.
Ever since he came back from the battle in Beiyong, he has been obsessed with Miss Song who disguised herself as a man to go to the battlefield.
But at that time, he didn't know that General Shen was a woman, and he really thought that Miss Song was his wife, so he didn't express his feelings.
After returning to Beijing, he learned that General Shen was actually Concubine Shu, and he immediately became interested.
They are both women, so they are definitely not husband and wife.
So he asked his family to find out who Miss Song was.
Because Concubine Shu's mother's surname was Song, he subconsciously thought that Miss Song was from Concubine Shu's maternal grandfather's family.
The Lin family went to inquire about it.
It was discovered that the Song family did have a daughter of marriageable age, the third child.
When Concubine Shu went to the battlefield this year, Miss Song San fell ill and had not been out of the house. She has gradually gotten better during this period of time.
The timeline also matches.
"What kind of illness? It must be that she accompanied Concubine Shu to the battlefield and couldn't make it public! It must be her!" Lin Boyan was very excited.
He urged his family to go and propose marriage.
The Lin family couldn't persuade him, so they had to go.
But the Song family declined.
Because Miss Song San is in poor health and cannot have children, she may die within two years.
Marrying someone does not mean making an enemy. Lin Boyan is the only son in the family, and his wife will definitely have children for the Lin family. It is inappropriate for the two families to marry each other.
But Lin Boyan didn't believe what they said at all.
In the military camp, he had seen Miss Song several times. She was full of energy and didn't look sick at all.
"They just don't want their daughter to marry me, that's why they said that." Lin Boyan didn't give up, so he went to the Women's Army Camp in the suburbs of Beijing, hoping that Concubine Shu could help him.
He thought that Miss Song San could go to the battlefield with Concubine Shu, so she must have a good relationship with Concubine Shu. If Concubine Shu could come forward to help him act as a matchmaker, this might be possible.
"Have you met my third cousin?" Shen Liuzheng stared at him suspiciously.
Her third cousin had been weak since childhood, falling ill every now and then and rarely went out.
Where did Lin Boyan go to meet her?
"Of course I have seen it." Lin Boyan nodded eagerly.
"Didn't she often stay with you in the barracks?"
After hearing these words, Shen Liuzheng was both amused and confused.
She knew that Lin Boyan thought Song Yulan was her third cousin.
She raised her eyebrows and looked at Lin Boyan. Good boy, you actually dare to dig into the emperor's corner. You are very brave.
"She is not my third cousin, she is already married." Shen Liuzheng reminded gently.
"How is that possible!" Lin Boyan didn't expect that Concubine Shu was unwilling to help him, and he suddenly became anxious.
How could a married woman follow Shen Liuzheng to the military camp so casually?
Shen Liuzheng couldn't reveal Song Yulan's identity, after all, the emperor wanted to keep it secret.
So she thought about it and said, "If you don't believe me, I'll take you to the Song family later and let you meet my third cousin, and then you'll know."
"Okay!" Lin Boyan agreed without hesitation, fearing that she would go back on her word.
After a moment, he looked at Shen Liuzheng awkwardly: "General, do you think my outfit is suitable today? Do you want me to go back and change clothes first?"
Shen Liuzheng suppressed his laughter and nodded: "Sure. I will finish my training at twilight hour today and will arrive at the Song family in about half an hour. You can wait for me at the entrance of the Song family's Huaihua Lane."
"Okay!" Lin Boyan agreed happily.
He went home immediately to choose clothes.
He spent the entire afternoon dressing up, and finally his mother couldn't stand it anymore and kicked him out, and he finally stopped.
He was waiting at the entrance of Huaihua Lane early with gifts in his hand.
"Oh, it fell." A scream was heard, and he turned his head and saw that it was a little maid who had dropped a string of candied haws on the ground.
He bent down, picked it up and gave it back to the maid.
"Thank you, young master." The little maid held the candied haws in her hands, looked regretful, and ran back to her mistress.
"I'm sorry, young lady. It's all my fault for being clumsy."
"It doesn't matter. I can't eat it anyway. I bought it just to keep it for fun." Song Yunyao smiled and comforted his little girl.
She passed Lin Boyan and a faint scent of medicine wafted past.
Song Yunyao coughed lightly a few times.
The little maid suddenly became anxious.
"It's so cold, young lady, you shouldn't go out." She hurriedly wrapped the cloak around the young lady, supported her and walked quickly forward.
Lin Boyan withdrew his gaze and stood on tiptoe to look back.
I don’t know when Concubine Shu will come.
There was a sound of horse hooves and Lin Boyan turned his head to look.
The Concubine Shu is here!
"Let's go." Shen Liuzheng jumped off the horse, looking very cool.
She led the horse and motioned Lin Boyan to go to the Song family with her.
"Young lady, see you, Concubine Shu." The servants of the Song family saluted hurriedly when they saw Shen Liuzheng.
"Don't call me like that in public. Call me General." Shen Liuzheng looked at him seriously.
"Yes. General Shen, please come in. I will inform the master and his wife immediately." The servant hurriedly changed his words.
Lin Boyan, who was following behind, breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he was smart and kept calling him General Shen instead of Concubine Shu.
The Concubine Shu should have a good impression of him, right?
I should probably say more good things about him later, right?
I don't know if Miss Song San would think it's too rude of him to come to her house like this.
For a moment, Lin Boyan's mind was in a state of confusion.
When Song Hansong heard that his niece was coming, he immediately took his wife out to greet her.
"Uncle, aunt." Shen Liuzheng smiled when he saw his relatives.
"Good girl, come in quickly. It's cold outside. Don't let yourself get frozen." Seeing that Shen Liuzheng was wearing so little, her aunt He hurriedly pulled her into the house.
"Aunt, I'm not cold." Shen Liuzheng smiled and went into the house with her.
"Child, you just take advantage of your youth and energy to do whatever you want. When you get older, you will know how terrible your cold legs are." He gave her a reproachful look.
"Just like your uncle, he was just like you when he was young. He didn't even wear a fur coat in the middle of winter. Now he's old and he keeps crying out in pain."
When Song Hansong heard his wife say this, he couldn't help but retort: "I didn't scream in pain."
He slapped him directly on the back.
"Hey, why did you hit me?" Song Hansong looked confused.
"I'm asking you, does it hurt?" He raised her chin and glared at him.
"The child is watching here, can't you give me some face?" Song Hansong muttered unhappily.
Shen Liuzheng couldn't help laughing out loud because of her uncle and aunt's amusement.
She likes the atmosphere at her grandparents' house and feels relaxed every time she comes back.
Lin Boyan behind was ignored by the Song family.
He had no choice but to follow them with grievance.
Fortunately, after entering the house, Shen Liuzheng finally remembered him.
"This is Lin Boyan, the son of Mr. Lin, the Deputy Director of the Ministry of War."
