When the two children came back from school in the afternoon, they hugged Song Heng and cried again.
Although the scars on his face look a bit scary, after all, he is still his biological father, and the children will not dislike him.
Shen Ming heard someone say on the road that his dead brother-in-law was back again. When he saw the person when he came back, he was surprised and happy.
In the evening, Shen Wan held a banquet in the main hall and invited Miss Yinghua to have dinner with her.
Yinghua sat next to Mr. Li, putting her hands on her knees, looking a little embarrassed.
Shen Wan glanced at her, picked up the tea cup and stood up.
"Miss Yinghua, you have saved my husband's life. I will offer you a cup of tea instead of wine. Thank you very much."
Yinghua didn't know what to say, so she just stood up holding the wine glass.
Mrs. Liu suggested: "Let's toast Miss Yinghua together!"
So, everyone stood up, some raised their tea cups, some raised their wine glasses.
Mrs. Liu said: "Thank you very much to the girl's family for saving my son. The Song family cannot repay this great kindness. If the girl needs help in the future, just ask. The Song family will not refuse if I can help."
Yinghua blushed and clinked glasses with everyone. After drinking the wine in the glass, she sat down with everyone.
"Come, girl, eat the food." Mrs. Li used serving chopsticks to pick up the food for Yinghua.
"Thank you." Yinghua thanked her in a low voice. Although she was out of place and sitting here to see this, she could feel that Brother Daniu's family was very kind.
Everyone started using their chopsticks, and Mrs. Li and Mrs. Liu picked up vegetables for Yinghua from time to time.
After the meal, the servants removed the dishes, cleared the table, and placed refreshments.
"How old is Miss Yinghua?" Mr. Li and Yinghua chatted frequently.
Yinghua replied awkwardly: "Nineteen."
"Are you engaged?" Mrs. Li asked again. Although her daughter did not say anything about the relationship between the Yinghua girl and her son-in-law, a girl's family could follow a man all the way to the imperial city. How much does this girl think about her son-in-law? , she can also guess to some extent.
Yinghua glanced at Song Heng, lowered her head and replied: "I had an engagement before, but when I was about to get married, my mother died. I had to observe mourning for three years, but the family couldn't afford to wait, so they broke off the engagement. Now there is no engagement. ." She didn't talk about what happened between her and Brother Daniu because she didn't want to tell them and make them laugh, because now that she thinks about it, she feels ashamed.
"That family is so unlucky that such a good girl has been given away. Since there is no engagement now, does the girl want to find one in the imperial city? There are many energetic and capable soldiers in our house who have not yet been married! What if the girl looks down on her? You can also go to the army to find the soldiers in your mansion."
Yinghua lowered her head and smiled bitterly. Was it her turn to look down on others? They were afraid that they would look down on her as a country girl. Not to mention the soldiers in the house, even the servants looked more energetic than their country men.
Mrs. Liu also smiled and said: "If the girl wants to stay in the imperial city, it is not impossible. If there is someone you like, she can marry from our Song family and I will pay you the dowry."
"Thank you, old lady, for your love. This Imperial City may not be suitable for me. I still want to go back to Shan'ao Village, and I want to start home tomorrow." Although the Imperial City is very good, this place is not suitable for her. Moreover, if she stays in the Imperial City , always looking at Brother Daniu, she would feel sad, so she still wanted to go back to Shan'ao Village.
Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Li looked at each other and said with a smile: "Since the girl is leaving, we can't force you to stay. However, there is no need to leave in a hurry tomorrow. Please wait for a few days and we will send someone to take you back. "
No matter what others say, they are still the benefactors of their Song family. Even if they have to leave, they have to prepare some thank you gifts and let people take them back with them.
Song Heng thought for a while and said: "Yinghua, just listen to my mother and stay for a few more days!"
Yinghua hesitated for a while and nodded.
Yinghua and Song Heng's luggage was still at the inn. Shen Wan sent someone to get their things back, and also assigned a maid to serve Yinghua.
It was late at night, Song Heng followed Shen Wan and Song Ziling back to Qiushi Courtyard.
Now that the weather is hot, Shen Wan has to take a bath every day. She went into the compartment in the back room to take a bath, while Song Ziling and his father were talking outside. When she came out of the bath, she saw that Song Heng had already entered the back room.
