He remembered it all.
That year, when he reached the age to get married, his mother sent three letters home, forcing him to return to the capital from the northwest.
Unexpectedly, on the way, they encountered a group of robbers who were about to commit a crime. The young boy Song Yu was quite young and hot-tempered. Without thinking, he raised his red tassel and knocked the robbers off their horses.
The girl lifted the curtain of the sedan chair, and Song Yu, holding a red tasseled spear, tightened the reins and turned around.
Just like that, they looked into each other's eyes unexpectedly.
That day she was wearing the same light blue skirt, with her hair in a girlish bun, and her eyes were elegant and gentle.
"Thank you for saving my life, sir."
"No, you're welcome."
Song Yu, who always pretended to be calm and composed in public, was at a loss for words for the first time in front of a woman.
Later, my mother took out several portraits of daughters of officials, and the girl I rescued that day was among them.
It turns out her name is Chu Ying.
Song Yu didn't know what was wrong with him. By the time his brain reacted, his hand had already pointed at the portrait uncontrollably.
He remembered that his mother smiled for a long time that day and said she would help him propose marriage.
Well, he seemed a little too happy that day.
When we meet again, it will be our wedding night.
At the urging of his younger brother and sister, he lifted her red veil.
Sure enough, I heard her say in surprise, "Benefactor?"
He was so excited that he impulsively replied, "Not benefactor, but husband."
There was a burst of laughter all around, and her face turned red with embarrassment.
Not long after that, she became pregnant, but he could not be with her because the border was in danger and he had to go back immediately.
It was unknown how long it had been, but after he had finished fighting on the battlefield, his soldiers handed him a letter from home.
She gave birth to their daughter with great difficulty, and said that the mother gave her the nickname, and he, as the father, would give her the maiden name.
Song Yu remembered that after receiving this letter from home, he was so happy that he didn't sleep for three days and three nights.
Later, he hurried back to Beijing to visit her and his daughter, but he didn't expect that this would be the last time they saw each other.
"Aying." he called.
"Is it you?" Chu couldn't believe it. She took two steps back timidly, not daring to get closer, fearing that all this was her illusion.
When the news of his death reached the capital, she had thought about dying and going to accompany him, but every time she had this thought, her daughter would touch her with her little hand and smile at her.
She still remembered that on their wedding night, he took off his disguise and showed off cautiously in front of her, but she didn't know that she had known that he was the young man who saved her from danger that day as early as the day her mother came to propose marriage.
Later, she tried hard to let him go and prepared herself mentally to spend the rest of her life with her daughter without him.
But he came back to life.
Chu was not stupid. After a brief shock, she knew that it was true and he came back alive.
"Aying." Song Yu stepped forward, "I've let you down all these years."
For eight years since she married him, he owed her so much.
"Since you are alive, why don't you go home?" Chu choked, tears streaming down her cheeks.
"I, I--" Song Yu didn't know where to start explaining.
"Have you started a new family outside?" This was the worst outcome Chu could imagine.
"No!" Song Yu said anxiously, "I didn't! Ah Ying, you are the only one in my heart!"
"Then what's with your hair?" Chu finally saw his strange short hair.
Song Yu regained his memory, but he also did not forget what happened during the years he was a monk.
Just when he didn't know how to explain it, he suddenly heard a giggle.
He saw his younger sister sitting on the wall outside Yuhuxuan, eating buns with big mouthfuls. Gu Yanji turned his back to the courtyard and sat beside her, holding a steamer in one hand and the other hand was not idle either, protecting her steadily in front of him.
There was no other way. Gu Yan was so anxious that she couldn't leave Song Wan, so she had to follow her even if she had to turn her back to her.
Song Yu's face suddenly darkened, "Awan, you go back first."
Song Wan shook her legs. "I won't! Sister-in-law, don't let Big Brother fool you. Big Brother came back this time to divorce you!"
"Divorce?" Chu's heart ached. As expected.
"No! Aying, don't listen to her nonsense!" Song Yu explained quickly. After regaining his memory, he had already thrown the Buddha into the sky.
"I'm not talking nonsense! Sister-in-law, do you believe me?" Song Wan winked at her.
Chu looked at Song Yu, then at Song Wan, and finally nodded, saying truthfully, "Ah Wan has no reason to lie to me."
Song Yu: "..."
Song Wan rolled her eyes at him, pushed away Gu Yan's arm that was blocking her way, and jumped over the wall into the yard.
She hugged Chu's arm, covered her ear quietly, and whispered in a voice that everyone could hear, "Big brother said he wants to divorce you and become a monk. He also said that only after you two divorce each other, you can find another handsome man."
Chu: "So it's not about getting married, but becoming a monk?"
No wonder his hair is so short, it turns out he has shaved it.
Song Wan nodded like a squirrel, "Yes, yes, sister-in-law, do you want to consider it? Anyway, my brother is not young anymore."
Song Yu: "..."
Is his sister really his biological daughter?
"Aying——" Song Yu was really anxious.
"Since my husband wants to become a monk, then let him go. Anyway, Anan and I can live together now." Mrs. Chu turned her eyes away and refused to look at him.
Song Wan, who had successfully ruined her elder brother's plans, put her hands behind her back, leisurely jumped back to the top of the wall, hugged Gu Yan's anxious waist, and was about to use her internal energy to fly away.
But before leaving, she did not forget to shout towards the yard, "Sister-in-law, I'm going to find a groom for you right now!"
Song Yu: "..."
However, there was no rush to find a groom. Song Wan was led to the front hall by the fragrance.
"It smells so good." When marching and fighting, the food has to be as simple as possible. Song Wan found that it had been a long time since he had eaten so many delicious foods at once.
Gu Yan asked anxiously, "Do you want more buns?"
Song Wan shook her head and touched her belly. "It's only this small. It's a waste to fill it with buns."
Gu Yan listened anxiously, smiled and rubbed her head, "Let's go, uncle and aunt are almost waiting anxiously."
To celebrate their safe return, the Marquis' Mansion set up dozens of tables, but they were all occupied by family members and no outside guests were invited.
The celebration banquet was not held in the palace, but in the Marquis's Mansion, which was enough to show the emperor's supreme favor for the Song family.
Not to mention that the emperor came to the banquet in person, which made many officials and ministers jealous.
Song Wan and Gu Yan hurriedly walked from the end of the hall to the front. Along the way, she saw A Yue who had grown a lot taller, A Yao who was becoming more and more capable, Yun Zhuo who had grown a lot fatter, and his two followers. It seemed that the restaurant's business was very good.
Oh, right.
The big follower named Ada had a young woman with him. I heard that she was Yuanbao's sister, and I don't know how she was tricked into becoming his wife.
She also heard that Yuanbao was furious when he found out and ignored Ada for three months.
These were among the things that Yun Zhuo had told Song Wan about when she entered the mansion, things that had happened while she was away in Beijing.
Finally, there is Qi Fu, who still likes to look down on people. After not seeing him for two years, he finally looks like a man.
Song Wan pinched and patted her left and right, and came to the main table with satisfaction, calling out to the people above, "Dad, Mom, Uncle Gu, Aunt Liu, and A Yu."
"Hurry up and sit down. We've been waiting for you." Mrs. Qi was the happiest person today. Not only did her daughter perform a great deed and come back unharmed, but her eldest son who had long been buried in the family tomb suddenly came back to life, and not a piece of his flesh was missing either. She was extremely happy.
"Sister Awan, sit next to me!" Li Yu specially reserved two seats, one on the left and one on the right.
He was the emperor, so when he came to the minister's house, he was naturally given a seat of honor, and the two seats beside him were naturally for whoever he wanted to sit.
"Okay, okay!" Song Wan sat down on his right side very decisively.
Because she had sharp eyes, she saw that several dishes she wanted to eat were closest to this location.
Qi wanted to say something, but her husband winked at her.
"Home-cooked food is still the best!" Song Wan took the lead and stuffed a piece of potato soaked in gravy into her mouth.
"If it tastes good, eat more!" Forget it, Qi came to terms with it. Being a sister of the emperor might not necessarily be a bad thing.
"Sister Awan, is it really so delicious?" Li Yu blinked, revealing a longing look.
"Of course!" Song Wan glanced at him and decisively picked up a piece of juicy braised pork and placed it in the bowl in front of him. "Eat more meat and gain some weight."
"Thank you, Sister Awan!" Li Yu ate the braised pork in front of everyone.
Song Wan couldn't help but raised her hand to rub his head. Although he was hurt a little, he was just a little bit older than a cub, and he was still cute.
"Hahaha, thanks to A-Wan this time, otherwise the war wouldn't have ended so quickly." Gu Xun laughed, "Since everyone is in the capital now, why not take advantage of this time to arrange the marriage of the two young people."
"Yes." Liu chuckled softly, "I can't wait to have Awan as my daughter-in-law."
"Hahaha, no rush." When Song Zhaoyuan heard that his daughter was going to be married off, he refused without thinking.
"What's the hurry?" Qi pinched him under the table. "Ah Wan is almost twenty, and Yuan'er is seventeen. If you can't bear to part with your daughter, shouldn't you also think about your niece?"
The two brothers have not officially separated yet, so they naturally have to get married one by one in order of seniority. If Awan still has no one to marry, Yuan'er will not be able to see her.
"Madam." Song Zhaoyuan didn't dare cry out in pain in front of so many people, "Then you should also ask your daughter's opinion. It's still uncertain whether she wants to get married."
Before this marriage was mentioned, Song Zhaoyuan liked Gu Yanji in every way. But now that he heard that the other party was about to marry his daughter, he immediately looked at him with disdain.
Song Wan was enjoying her meal when she suddenly stopped.
She put down the spoon, looked up and asked in confusion, "Why are you all looking at me?"
The dishes on the table looked much better than hers.
Did soup splash on her face?
Song Wan reached out and touched it. It was clean.
Unable to get an answer, she habitually turned her head to look at Gu Yanji and asked, "Do you know why?"
