Chapter 451 His Majesty Invites
Yun Ran looked at her grandmother and fourth sister who were laughing together, and reached out to spread some mud, smearing it twice on Min Jingyao and Yun Yue's little faces.
"Okay, now grandma and fourth sister are the same as us." Yun Ran clapped his hands.
Min Jingyao and Yunyue were stunned, then burst into laughter.
Min Jingyao said helplessly: "Ranran is really naughty, just like your mother when she was a child."
Yun Ran knew that the mother she was talking about was her biological mother, Rong Ruoruo. The corners of her lips curled slightly and she said, "Of course they look alike."
Her voice was a little soft, considering that Yun Chengxi was beside her.
Yun Chengxi is eight years old this year and already knows that Yun Ran is not his biological sister.
Min Jingyao was stunned after she finished speaking. She was also happy and said it casually, forgetting that Yun Chengxi was still here.
The child is still young and we don’t know what he or she is thinking. It is actually best not to mention this kind of thing in front of the child.
But the words had already been said. Min Jingyao sighed inwardly, thinking about how to change the subject, but saw Yun Chengxi handing over two pieces of candy.
The little boy knew that Min Jingyao and Yunyue's hands were covered in mud, so he considerately stuffed the candy into their mouths in one go.
Then he said sweetly, "Grandma, Fourth Sister, eat candy. Eat Chengxi's candy, and this new year will be sweet from the beginning to the end."
"Yes, it's sweet from the beginning of the year to the end."
Min Jingyao suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and smiled. She reached out and took down the handkerchief hanging from the roof of the shed, wiped her hands clean, and then touched Yun Chengxi's head: "Our Chengxi's little mouth is so sweet, just like it's covered with honey."
She knew that Yun Chengxi said this because he didn't care about what she had just said.
It is rare for such a young person to be so sharp-minded and handle things properly.
Min Jingyao looked at the brother and sister squatting happily opposite her, and felt fortunate that it was the Yun family who adopted Yun Ran.
If the family was of bad character and bad heart, Yun Ran would not only suffer, but his life would probably be ruined.
It is precisely because the Yun family is simple, kind and good-hearted that she is particularly satisfied with Yun Yue as her granddaughter-in-law. She does not care about those worldly rules and is willing to marry into the Yun family.
"Wait a minute, your eldest uncle and second uncle and their families will be back, let's have lunch together at noon." Min Jingyao said, "Ranran, Chengxi and Xiaoyue haven't met yet, right? Let's meet them later.
The eldest brother's family is out doing business all year round, and they always bring back a lot of things. They must have prepared generous gifts for you children. Let's go out and wash our hands and rest for a while. I guess they will be here soon."
Yun Ran nodded, and helped Min Jingyao, Yun Yue, Yun Chengxi and Rong He out of the greenhouse.
She had met her second uncle and second aunt, but she had never met her eldest uncle's family.
However, at lunch, I didn't see my uncle and his family. They said that something urgent had happened at the shop, so they didn't come back. They only sent several large carts of New Year gifts.
However, the Dafang family is indeed a business family with great wealth. Not only did they bring gifts to everyone in the Rong family, they also gave one to each person in the Yun family.
Yun Ran felt quite regretful that he couldn't meet his uncle, aunt, cousin and his wife, but the two cars of gifts were very real.
After having lunch at Rong's house and resting for a while, the family of four went back home. They had to go to Yin's house to pay New Year's greetings the next day.
Yun Ran and Yun Chengxi reaped a lot of rewards. Rong Bing, Min Jingyao, their second uncle Rong Yan'an and their second aunt Shen Yu all gave them big red envelopes.
Yun Ran was embarrassed to ask for it, but her grandmother said that as long as she is not married, she is a child, and even if she is engaged, she is still a child, so she should be given a red envelope.
It was already late when they returned to Shanhai Tower. Yun Ran explained some things about the tower to Uncle Chang, and then went home with Yin Qianlan, Yun Sanlang and the others. She had to visit her other grandfather's house to pay New Year's greetings the next morning.
The next morning, the family of four loaded their carriage with New Year gifts and set off for the Yin Mansion.
Yun Chengxi changed into a cobalt blue jacket this time, put on the small silver locket that Yun Ran bought for her, and also took two paper bags of caramelized melon seeds fried by Yun Ran himself, and ate them happily while sitting in the car.
They soon arrived at the gate of Yin Mansion. The door was wide open, as if they had known they were coming. The guards at the door did not stop them. The old housekeeper of Yin Mansion smiled and personally welcomed them into the mansion.
At this time, Yin Qiu was chatting about family matters with Yin Qianlan, Chen Huan, and the young boy Chen Ce in the banquet hall.
Seeing the butler bringing four people in, he was delighted, but he suppressed his joy on his face. He invited the four people in to sit down, and told the butler to serve tea and snacks.
As soon as Yun Chengxi saw Chen Ce, the two of them got together to play, and the adults started chatting together.
The little brat Yun Chengxi praised Yun Ran to the sky. He distributed Yun Ran's fried caramelized melon seeds to Chen Ce, Yin Qiu, Yin Qianxue and Chen Huan, and showed Yin Qiu the small silver lock that Yun Ran bought for her.
Yun Ran sat next to his parents, and his eyes felt a little sore as he watched Yun Chengxi praising him with all his heart.
Her little brother is really a smart kid with a delicate mind. He is afraid that she will feel like an outsider and out of place in this Yin family where she has no blood relationship with him during the New Year.
However, Yun Ran smiled. Her parents, grandmother, and uncles and their families all treated her well. Although her grandfather Yin Qiu didn't like her at the beginning, he still treated her well now. She was already very content.
At noon, the whole family gathered together for a meal. Yun Chengxi and Yun Ran received three big red envelopes from their grandfather, aunt and uncle-in-law. It can be said that they had a great harvest.
It was already past the hour of Yin, and the setting sun dyed the clouds in the sky red. Yun Sanlang and Yin Qianlan took their two children and said goodbye to Yin Qiu and the others, and were taken out of the house by the old housekeeper.
As soon as he left the house, he saw an uninvited guest.
Anji was standing at the door of Yin Mansion with his iconic whisk in his hand, smiling.
Yun Ran didn't think much of it, thinking that he had come to see her grandfather for something. She greeted him and was about to get on the carriage with her parents and brother.
But Anji stopped her and said, "Miss Yin, please stay."
Anji was very tactful. Since they were at the gate of Yin Mansion, he called Yun Ran Miss Yin.
Yun Ran paused and looked at An Ji: "Aren't you here to see my grandfather, Grandpa?"
"Of course not," Anji continued with a smile, "We are here on the orders of the Emperor to invite the young lady to the palace for a chat."
"Please...me?" Yun Ran was a little uncertain.
Ye Cangling asked her to come to the palace to talk for no reason? What was there to talk about?
Moreover, judging from her previous experiences, if Angie came to see her, it would definitely be bad news.
"His Majesty invited the Crown Prince, Prince Heshun, Princess Heshun, Prince Jing'an, and the two princesses to gather and chat about family matters. At this age, it's inevitable to feel lonely during the holidays.
Although the eldest daughter has not yet married, she has already been engaged to the young prince Jing'an. Since it was His Majesty who granted the marriage, she is considered half a member of the royal family.
After he said that, Yun Ran couldn't refuse and turned around to look at Yin Qianlan and Yun Sanlang.
Yun Sanlang nodded, and Yin Qianlan also said: "Since it is the emperor's wish, then let's go."
