Chapter 450: Little Devil
The carriage of the third branch of the Yun family drove into the capital. Through the curtains, noisy voices could be heard outside, all talking about "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains of Dakang".
Yun Ran stretched out her slender white wrist and lifted a corner of the car curtain to make the voices of passers-by outside clearer.
"Have you heard? Madam Yun, the owner of Fangxian Embroidery Tower, will soon be repainting 'A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains of Dakang'!"
"Is it true? That scroll has been shelved for many years, right?"
"How could it be false? Madam Yun was personally invited into the palace by the Empress two days ago. She stood out from all the other embroiderers in the palace and took over Madam Yu's scroll!"
"Tsk tsk, she's worthy of being the owner of Fangxian Embroidery Tower. How can those maids in the palace who only have a few mediocre skills compare to her? Madam Yun was taught by Madam Yu herself!"
"Really? Then what's the point of competing? This painting of 'A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains in Dakang' is handed over to Madam Yun. Isn't that a well-deserved and set-in-stone task?"
"Oh, you don't know! The Queen is probably hoping that she will lose to those embroiderers in the palace! I heard, just heard, that the Queen even did a lot of tricks to make her lose! Like this... that..."
"Oh... that's really too much..."
Yun Ran listened for a while, felt a little tired, rubbed his temples, and lowered the car curtain.
It seems that the progress in the capital is also good and has begun to cause dissatisfaction among the people.
However, Yin Qianlan, Yun Sanlang and Yun Chengxi also heard these words. The three of them didn't understand what was going on, but they all looked worried.
Yun Ran had not told them about this plan, but now, after thinking about it, she picked out some parts and told them to her parents and brother.
The three of them breathed a sigh of relief. Yin Qianlan said, "We've finally been waiting for this day. Once we finish embroidering 'A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains of Dakang', can we send Grandma Yu home?"
Yun Ran nodded: "It should be."
"Then, you three sisters must go together. It will be worth it that Grandma loved you so much when she was alive."
"Of course," Yun Ran pursed her lips, "Don't worry, mother, we will definitely send mother-in-law home safely."
Yun Sanlang on the side showed a relieved smile.
The carriage soon stopped at the gate of Rong Mansion. When the guard at the gate saw that it was the carriage of the third branch of the Yun family, he hurried in to report.
After a while, Rong Bing came out with a smile: "Come on, come in and sit down."
The Rong family is not a family of officials, so there are not so many rules. When Rong Bing heard the announcement, he ran out happily to answer it.
Yun Ran pulled Yun Chengxi, and they both called out sweetly, "Grandpa, Happy New Year!"
Rong Bing happily gave Yun Chengxi a big red envelope.
Yin Qianlan ordered the servants to carefully carry the New Year gifts they brought in, and then she and Yun Sanlang followed Rong Bing into the house.
Yun Ran and Yun Chengxi walked all the way to the reception room, but did not see their grandmother, Rong He, and Yun Yue.
Just as he was about to ask, Rong Bing said, "Your grandmother and Xiaoyue are in the garden at the back. You two can go play with them."
Yun Chengxi's eyes suddenly lit up: "Sister, let's go and take a look!"
Yun Ran nodded helplessly.
Rong Bing looked at the two of them with a smile, grabbed a handful of roasted melon seeds and crispy candies from the fruit plate, and stuffed them into their hands and pockets.
Yun Chengxi was very clever and sweet-mouthed. After pretending to refuse a few times, he finally accepted the gift, saying repeatedly, "Thank you, Grandpa! You're so kind!"
Rong Bing's eyes narrowed into slits due to laughter, and he stuffed some candy into Yun Ran's pockets. Yun Ran felt a little embarrassed. She was already grown up, but she was still like Cheng Xi, with her pockets full of candy. How inappropriate.
But Rong Bing was too enthusiastic and she couldn't resist, so her pockets were still filled with money.
The two of them were led out of the door by the little maid Qingqing and went to the garden at the back.
Along the way, Yun Chengxi took out the candies and melon seeds from Yun Ran's pocket without any hesitation and put them into his own pocket. When his pocket couldn't hold them, he held them in his palms.
Yun Ran looked at his insatiable look and said helplessly: "If you like it, I'll make it for you when you get home. Make as much as you want."
Yun Chengxi looked up at her, smiled mysteriously, and didn't answer.
The two of them soon arrived at the back garden. From a distance, they saw a row of small sheds with oil paper roofs, most of which were half a person's height. They looked very similar to the greenhouse vegetable growing method that Nan Xuan had taught her before.
Yun Chengxi had never seen this thing before, and with a look of surprise on his face, he pulled Yun Ran and trotted over.
When they lifted the paper curtain, they saw her grandmother Min Jingyao and Yun Yue squatting inside the greenhouse. Their sleeves were rolled up high, their hands were full of soil, and they seemed to be planting something.
Rong He was alone. He moved a small stool and sat not far from the entrance of the greenhouse. He looked at the two of them with his chin in his hand, looking bored and lonely.
Seeing Yun Ran and Yun Chengxi come in, Rong He's eyes suddenly lit up: "Ran Ran, Cheng Xi, you are here!"
Yun Ran smiled and nodded: "Brother Rong, Grandma, Fourth Sister, what are you doing?"
Rong He reached out and touched Yun Chengxi's little head, sighing, "What can I do? Grandma and Yueyue are growing herbs, and they think I don't know how to do anything and am in the way, so they let me sit here and be a door god."
"Pfft," Yun Ran couldn't help laughing. "You're not doing this well. You can't even grow herbs properly. How are you going to take over the Medicine Immortal Pavilion in the future?"
Speaking of this, Rong He's face became even uglier: "Ran Ran, please don't say that. Grandfather and grandmother don't love me."
"What's wrong?" Yun Ran asked.
Rong He sighed, "They think I can't even do this basic thing, and they are discussing handing over the Medicine Immortal Pavilion to Yueyue."
Yun Ran: ...
She pursed her lips tightly to prevent herself from laughing.
He coughed lightly, patted Rong He's shoulder and said, "It's okay. After you and Fourth Sister get married, it doesn't matter who manages the Medicine Immortal Pavilion."
Rong He sniffed. Well, he didn't feel comforted at all.
At this moment, Yun Chengxi suddenly pulled his sleeve, and Rong He looked down at him: "Chengxi?"
Yun Chengxi smiled warmly, "Brother-in-law, here's some candy. Fourth sister is an expert at growing herbs, and brother-in-law is a skilled doctor. It would be a good thing if you two could learn from each other and make progress together."
Rong He felt happy after hearing what he said: "Cheng Xi is right."
"Brother-in-law, come and eat it quickly. The candy was given to you by my grandfather. It's so sweet." Yun Chengxi said happily.
Rong He stuffed the candy into his mouth and smiled: "It's so sweet."
Yun Ran: ...
The candy was just taken out of her pocket.
Yun Chengxi, this little bastard, used to flatter Brother Xiao Jing loudly, and his little mouth was as sweet as honey in front of Rong He.
Tsk, such a smart little kid.
"Ranran, Chengxi, come quickly and see how the Panax notoginseng grown by grandma and Xiaoyue is doing." Min Jingyao greeted them with a smile.
Yun Ran took Yun Chengxi and walked towards the two of them.
Yun Yue had just planted a Panax notoginseng seedling and her hands were covered in mud. Seeing Yun Ran and Yun Chengxi squatting down, she rolled her eyes, raised her hand and wiped their faces twice, turning them into little cats.
Min Jingyao was amused. The old lady who looked dignified and serious to others was laughing so hard that she slapped her thigh like a child.
