Chapter 408 Second Brother is Back
Yun Ran stepped forward and touched Yun Chengshou's head, smiling and saying, "Chengshou has grown so tall in the blink of an eye. How are your studies at the academy?"
"Thank you for your concern, Fifth Sister. I have never neglected my studies. Third Sister and Fifth Sister, you must have worked hard coming back from the capital." Yun Chengshou's black eyes were clear, and he answered Yun Ran's questions seriously.
"Like a little adult." Yunhua also laughed, "This personality is a bit like big brother's when he was a child."
"Third sister, what about me? Who do I look like?" Yun Chengxi also came over excitedly and asked.
Yun Ran reached out and poked him between the eyebrows: "You? You look like a monkey."
"puff……"
Yunhua was amused.
Yun Chengshou's small lips, which were pursed into a straight line, twitched and his eyebrows curved slightly.
"sister!"
Yun Chengxi was teased by Yun Ran in public, and pouted with an unhappy look: "How do I look like a monkey!"
"He jumps up and down all day long, running around and joining in the fun everywhere. He has no honesty at all. If he is not a monkey, what does he look like?" Yun Ran said.
"Sister, you are talking nonsense. I am not jumping up and down all day long!" Yun Chengxi raised his little head unconvinced and argued with Yun Ran.
"You, a chatterbox, haven't been idle either."
"Isn't it just that I can speak a little? Our husband said that at this age, we must be brave enough to express ourselves!"
"You've already expressed it." Yun Ran's mouth twitched slightly.
Yun Chengxi clenched her fists and snorted angrily, "How could it be over? Sister, do you no longer love me after seeing Chengshou?"
Yun Ran was helpless: "You are so young, how can you know what love is or not."
The two of them were arguing loudly, and Yunhua stood aside, laughing and shaking her head.
"Ah," Yunyue, who had been standing by without saying a word, suddenly sighed, "Chengxi's lively personality, it would be great if he could share half of it with us, Chengshou."
Yun Ran rubbed Yun Chengxi's head, and the two of them stopped talking: "Chengshou is so good, well-behaved and obedient, unlike Chengxi, who is noisy all day long and makes my head hurt."
Yun Chengxi, whose hair was ruffled, looked gloomy: "You really do dislike me!"
"I don't mind you," Yun Yue stepped forward and put her arm around Yun Chengxi's shoulders, smiling, "Go with Fourth Sister. I'll tell your sister to go back by herself later."
"Well...it might not work. My sister's brain isn't very good except for eating and cooking. I'm afraid she will lose herself." Yun Chengxi said, sticking out his tongue.
"I usually cook delicious food, and I never see you eat less!" Yun Ran poked his little head.
At this time, most of the students in the academy had left, so Yunhua asked a few of them to go back first and talk slowly later.
Yun Chengfu and Mr. Xiao Qi had just finished talking, so they all left the academy and took a carriage home.
On the way back, the two younger ones, Yun Chengshou and Yun Chengxi, sat next to each other.
Yun Chengshou was holding his little book basket, sitting very properly, his chubby little face was so cute.
Yun Chengxi always poked Yun Chengshou's little arm.
"Hey, Sixth Brother, after your sister gets engaged, why don't you come with us to Kuizhou to play for a few days?"
"Let me tell you, Kuizhou is quite large. I'll take you to our academy when the time comes. Our teacher likes little old-fashioned people like you. Maybe he'll take you in if he's so pleased."
"And there's that shadow puppet show. They come every two or three days, and their performance of Nezha Conquers the Dragon King is fantastic! Every time I'm done with school, I'll hang out on that street. I'll take you to see it then!"
Yun Chengshou listened quietly, occasionally nodding or saying "hmm", appearing to be particularly well-behaved.
Yun Chengxi finally finished his speech. He breathed a sigh of relief, and his thin red lips moved slightly.
Then, Yun Chengshou quickly took out a big peach from his book basket and stuffed it into Yun Chengxi's mouth.
Yun Chengxi: …? ? ?
Yun Chengshou's sweet little face was expressionless: "Seventh brother, you must be thirsty after talking for so long. Have a peach."
“Hmm…” Yun Chengxi nodded repeatedly, eating the sweet and soft peach in big mouthfuls. His dark eyes lit up instantly, “Xuexue (thank you) Liuguo (brother)!”
However, he only received a cold look from Yun Chengshou.
When they got home, Wang Cailian and her two sisters-in-law had already prepared dinner.
Wang Cailian and Yun Dalang also rushed over from their residence in Lin Tianfu. Because they received the letter from Yin Qianlan a day in advance, they also came back today.
Sumptuous dishes were placed on the table, and the whole family gathered together in a lively atmosphere. The adults discussed Yunyue's engagement banquet tomorrow while enjoying the dishes, and the children huddled together and chatted.
Everyone was happy and satisfied with the meal, but Yun Ran and his friends had been traveling all the way and were exhausted after the whole day, so everyone rested early after the meal.
Maybe because he went to bed early, Yun Ran woke up early the next day.
After she finished washing and tidying up, she went downstairs and saw that there were already several tables set up in the yard. Zhao Zhilan was talking to the people she had invited to help.
She walked over and said good morning to Zhao Zhilan.
There were a lot of people yesterday, and everyone gathered together and was very noisy, so the grandparents and grandchildren didn't have a chance to talk properly.
At this moment, Zhao Zhilan took her hand and the two of them found a quiet corner to sit down.
"I heard from your mother that you and Prince Jing'an are engaged?"
Yun Ran nodded, but worried that Zhao Zhilan might be worried, she added, "Grandma, Prince Jing'an is actually Brother Xiao Jing, you know him."
"Grandma knows. You're not worried about the child." Zhao Zhilan patted her hands and sighed softly.
"You kids have grown up now. Some of you are high-ranking officials, some of you are running restaurants, and some of you are marrying into wealthy families. Grandma can't keep up with you!"
"In the past, I thought being a county magistrate was a big deal. But then, your eldest brother became a Grand Secretary, and your second brother became a deputy general. You're such a naive person, you don't even know what a Grand Secretary is."
Seeing that she kept holding his hand and chattering non-stop, with satisfaction and pride in her eyes, Yun Ran knew that she was always thinking about them children and was proud of them.
However, now that the whole family is gathered together, only the second brother Yun Chenglu has not arrived yet because he is far away at the border.
Grandma must be worried too, but she just doesn't say it.
This is what it is like when people get old. They hope that their children and grandchildren will be successful, and they also hope that they can stay by their side. But no matter which one it is, as long as they live a peaceful and happy life, that's enough.
"Grandma, don't worry, my eldest and second brothers are both very capable." Yun Ran said, "My second brother told me he would come back, and he will definitely come back."
As he was speaking, he suddenly heard a series of rapid horse hooves and the high-pitched neighing of horses outside the door.
Yun Chenglu's excited voice followed immediately: "Grandma! Dad! Mom! Big brother! Little brothers and sisters! I'm back!"
Yun Ran and Zhao Zhilan were both delighted. They looked at each other and went to the gate together to greet them.
Outside the door, Yun Chenglu was riding a tall black horse, wearing armor, carrying a bow and arrow, and holding a spear in his hand. He looked majestic.
"Oh my god!" Zhao Zhilan was shocked.
This kind of momentum and style was the first time she had seen it in her life.
