Chapter 269: The Joy of a Family
Nuonuo blinked and looked at Yun Xiangye and said, "Mom, but I just want to eat sweet fresh lychees..."
Yun Xiangye touched Nuonuo's little head and asked, "Are you willing to leave your parents?"
Little Nuonuo touched her chin and thought. Yun Xiangye couldn't help feeling sad. Her status in Nuonuo's heart was not even as high as Xian Lizhi's?
"Are you willing to not see your younger brothers and sisters for a long time?" Gu Yan asked.
Nuonuo's clear eyes blinked, "Can you bring your brother and sister to Lizhou? Sister can also taste the fresh lychees..."
Yun Xiangye: “…”
Yun Xiangye would definitely be against Nuonuo following her father-in-law and mother-in-law to Lizhou.
But Gu Yan didn't care. He wished all three children would be taken away by their parents.
On the way back in the carriage, Yun Xiangye pinched Gu Yan's waist fiercely and said, "How can you be a father and let three children go far away without their parents?"
Gu Yan smiled and said, "Don't listen to what my father said. He resigned to give the young officials a chance. He was afraid that two important officials from the Gu family would block my way. He just wanted to spend more time alone with my mother."
Yun Xiangye asked, "Then why did you let my father-in-law and mother take us three children to Lizhou?"
Gu Yan smiled and said, "When I was a child, my father didn't allow me to stick to my mother, and now I don't let him stick to my mother either."
"Are you childish?" Yun Xiangye raised her eyes slightly and glanced at Gu Yan.
Gu Yan smiled and said, "My father was childish at an old age."
Yun Xiangye couldn't help but also smiled and said, "Forget it, I'll take Nuonuo with me to Lizhou."
Gu Yan held Yun Xiangye's hand and said, "Your Majesty has just ascended the throne, I cannot ask for a leave. After a year or two, I will ask for permission to go to Lizhou and take you and Nuonuo to eat fresh lychees."
"good."
Yun Xiangye was looking forward to going to Lizhou. Although she had eaten fresh lychees and seen the sea, she had never been to Lizhou or eaten fresh lychees grown on trees.
When I was in Yongxing City, I heard from merchants in the Lingnan area that the taste of lychees delivered to Yongxing City had changed.
Only fresh lychees from Lingnan are the most delicious.
Nuonuo has been waiting for three years. Nuonuo is no longer called Nuonuo. Everyone has started to call her Princess Yunran.
Shun Shun and Xin Xin have also reached the age where even cats and dogs are disgusted. The two siblings have completely opposite personalities. Gu Shun is very quiet. Just like his grandfather and father, he learned a thousand characters at the age of three. Now at the age of four, he can compose some poems. A four-year-old child's handwriting is as good as Yun Huangye.
As for Xinxin, although she was weak when she was little, climbing trees and walls was no problem for her. Xinxin was not afraid of anyone except her elder sister Yunran and her aunt Jingru.
After Jingru had traveled with Xie Zhixuan and Gu Ling for two years, she no longer wanted to go to various cities in Dasheng with her parents for fear of getting tanned.
The eight or nine-year-old Jingru was not as playful as she was when she was young. Instead, she loved beauty very much and became a close friend with her cousin Fu Anran, regardless of their age difference.
Although Jingru is still young, she is already able to give suggestions for the clothes in Yun Xiangye's Five Color Embroidery Workshop. Yun Xiangye is also happy to train Jingru to make beautiful clothes.
It is a happy thing to make clothes that women in the world like.
After Gu Jingyu became pregnant, she never returned to Chang'an, but took Old Madam Gu to Lizhou to live out her retirement.
Yun Xiangye and Gu Ling were worried at first that Madam Gu would not be able to adapt to the climate in Lizhou, but they never expected that Madam Gu would live much more comfortably in Lizhou than in Chang'an City. The rules in Lizhou City were not as numerous as those in Chang'an City.
Madam Gu, who was born the daughter of the Duke of Weiguo, had spent her entire life in Chang'an City taking care of a noble lady, following the rules for the wives of marquises, and only enjoyed freedom when she was old.
This time I went to Lizhou to visit Gu Jingyu who was about to give birth.
Gu Yan took a three-month leave, which was very tight but enough for him to go back and forth.
Yun Xiangye packed the family's luggage for the trip to Lizhou. The ship traveled day and night, and it took more than a month to reach Lizhou by water.
It is May in Lizhou and the weather is extremely hot, but it is also the time when there are the most fresh lychees.
As soon as you enter Gu Jingyu's mansion, you will see several lychee trees.
As soon as Yun Ran saw the litchis, she jumped up and started picking them.
Gu Jingyu came out holding the child. When she saw Xiao Yunran, she smiled gently and said, "Nuonuo, auntie misses you so much."
Yun Ran raised her eyes and looked at Gu Jingyu and said, "Aunt, I miss you too..."
As Yun Ran spoke, her eyes turned to the litchi tree in front of her.
Ah Hong, who was standing next to Gu Jingyu, picked a litchi and gave it to Yun Ran.
"Thank you, uncle."
Yun Ran peeled the lychee and tasted it, her eyes wide with smiles as she said, "Mom, it's delicious! Really delicious."
"You're still as greedy as you were when you were little." Zhao Rui and Lin Bolan also came out, with a two-year-old child beside them, "Do you still remember me?"
"Uncle." Yun Ran smiled faintly.
Gu Yan looked at Zhao Rui and Lin Bolan and said with a smile: "It's better for you to be free like this."
Zhao Rui said: "Then you might as well resign and come to Lizhou. Lizhou is now as prosperous as Chang'an."
Lizhou City is an important gateway for shipping with Southeast Asia and other places. Although the war brought a lot of devastation, the army led by Gu Yan at that time also intimidated the surrounding pirates. Now Lizhou City is becoming more and more prosperous.
Gu Yan chuckled and said, "If I resign, I will only accompany Xiang Ye to Yongxing City."
Yun Xiangye raised her eyes to look at Gu Yan and smiled gently. She also knew that Gu Yan would not resign at this moment as he had his own ambitions in his heart.
Yun Xiangye and Gu Yanneng only stayed in Lizhou for a little over seven days, so after lunch, they took their three children to the beach to watch the waves and the golden sand on the ground.
Gu Yan asked the guards to guard a stretch of beach.
Yun Xiangye took off her shoes and socks without any hesitation and strolled on the beach with Gu Yan, with waves rolling in.
Xinxin saw the waves and the beach, playing with sand and water, and was quite happy.
Yun Ran was thinking about whether she could catch some crabs and abalone and bring them back to taste some delicacies from the mountains and the sea.
Xiao Shun put his hand on his back, looked at the sea, and said in a baby voice: "I stand on Jieshi in the east and look at the vast sea. The water is so calm, and the mountains and islands stand tall. Trees grow in clusters, and the grass is lush. The autumn wind is bleak, and the waves surge. The sun and the moon seem to be coming out of it. The stars seem to be shining from it. I am so lucky that I can sing to express my feelings... Poetry really doesn't mislead me."
Gu Yan held Yun Xiangye's hand and looked at the three children with a smile. While some of the children were reciting poems, catching crabs, or playing with sand, he hugged Yun Xiangye in his arms and bent down to kiss her red lips.
Yun Xiangye was very afraid that the child would see it, so she pushed Gu Yan away and said, "Well, don't."
Gu Yan smiled gently and said, "The first time I came here, I thought I must bring you here once, kiss you here, let the sea witness our feelings, and I will remember it until we grow old."
After Gu Yan finished speaking, he kissed Yun Xiangye's red lips again.
Yun Xiangye had no reservations this time and embraced her beloved under the waves and sunset. Indeed, she would never forget this scene until she grew old.
I will never forget the joy of our family on this beach.
