Chapter 463 The whole family gathered together
Queen Chu was a fool, and the old prime minister had long scoffed at her decision to drive Grandma Yu out of the palace.
This time, he naturally gave his full support and decided to hold the "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains Embroidery" gathering.
The next morning, Yun Ran packed up early, picked out a small jacket with a rabbit fur collar in the color of a concubine, paired it with a snow-blue skirt, and put on a thin velvet cloak embroidered with lotus flowers. Then, he and Yin Qianlan, Yun Sanlang, and Yun Chengxi, the four of them, took a carriage and rushed to the capital.
Yun Chengxi also changed into a long gown of flowing brocade today. Although he was only seven or eight years old, he had his hair tied up, wore a jade crown, and dressed like an adult, looking like a handsome young man with delicate features.
Yin Qianlan and Yun Sanlang also dressed up and looked like the masters and mistresses of wealthy families, sitting in their spacious and comfortable carriage, chatting and laughing.
The carriage stopped in front of Fangxian Embroidery Tower, and Qianqiong, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately came up to greet it with two maids.
"Ran Ran!" She called out to Yun Ran, then suddenly remembered something. She slapped her lips and laughed, "Pfft, pfft, pfft, what are you calling me? Ran Ran is the princess now."
Yun Ran and Yun Chengxi were the first to jump off the carriage. When they heard Qian Qiong's words, they curled their lips and smiled: "Aunt Qiong!"
She walked over with Yun Chengxi by the hand, and when she saw Qian Qiong about to bow to her, she quickly stopped her: "Aunt Qiong, what are you doing? Just call me like before, there's no need to bow."
"That won't do. It breaks the rules." Qian Qiong said seriously.
Yun Ran smiled: "It's not in the palace, nor in the mansion, there aren't so many rules."
Afraid that Qianqiong would still hold on to this matter, she didn't wait for Qianqiong to say anything and said, "Where's Third Sister? Take us there quickly!"
"Okay!" Qian Qiong was immediately diverted to the topic by her. Yin Qianlan and Yun Sanlang also got out of the car at that time, so she led the four of them through the Fangxian Embroidery Building and walked towards the backyard.
The Fangxian Embroidery Tower occupies quite a large area. Apart from the embroidery tower facing the outside, after passing through a hanging flower gate and a winding corridor, there is a large courtyard with four entrances and a fairly large garden.
The venue for the "Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains Embroidery" elegant gathering is in this big garden.
This large garden is called Jinxiu Garden. It has beautiful scenery with mountains, rivers, lakes, trees, flowers and plants. Even in winter, you can see pale pink wintersweets and lush green pines.
Lanchun Pavilion is built in the center of the lake, facing Dengxia Pavilion, Yingqiu Pavilion and Luodong Pavilion built on the lakeside.
There is no bridge across the lake, so if you want to get to Lanchun Pavilion, you can only take a flower boat.
Qianqiong led the four of them through the winding paths of Jinxiu Garden and arrived at Dengxia Pavilion.
She explained to the four of them, "Lady Yun will be taking a flower boat to the Lanchun Pavilion in the middle of the lake in a short while. There she will complete 'A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains of Dakang'. This Wangxia Pavilion is occupied by Lady Yun's relatives. Old Madam Yun and the others are all here, and they are waiting for you."
At first, Yun Ran didn't realize who Old Madam Yun was. After a moment's pause, her eyes suddenly lit up: "Grandma and the others are here!"
"Yes," Qian Qiong smiled, "After you were found, Madam Yun was relieved and started to prepare for the elegant gathering. She immediately sent someone to bring the old lady and the others over."
Yun Sanlang and his wife and Yun Chengxi were also very happy. They had been thinking about when they could go back to their hometown and get together with everyone. Now, everyone is here.
Qian Qiong continued, "The Dengqiu Pavilion on the left is for distant relatives and Madam Yun's friends; the Luodong Pavilion on the right is for high-ranking officials in the palace."
"My wife asked us to make more than 300 invitations, but they were almost not enough." Qian Qiong smiled with pursed lips.
Yun Ran discovered that in addition to these three attics, there were many small tables and benches set up by the lake, with stoves next to the tables, and hot tea, fruits and snacks on the tables. I guess they were prepared for the literati and ordinary people who came here.
Now, many people have arrived one after another, and Jinxiu Garden has gradually become lively.
Yun Ran and the others followed Qian Qiong into Wangxia Pavilion. There were some screens, tables and benches on the first floor, and there seemed to be a small kitchen. A dozen maids were waiting downstairs, making snacks, washing fruits and so on, and bringing them upstairs at any time.
Qian Qiong led the four people up to the second floor and went straight to the door of the largest elegant hall in the middle. She said with a smile, "We're here. Please go in. I have to go and wait for other distinguished guests."
"Aunt Qiong, go and get busy." Yun Ran said, holding Yun Chengxi's hand, and followed Yin Qianlan and Yun Sanlang to push the door and walk in.
What you see is a spacious and bright elegant hall. Inside the hall, a row of mahogany tables and chairs are arranged in a fan shape. Sitting in the middle is the kind-looking Zhao Zhilan.
On Zhao Zhilan's left sat her aunt Wang Cailian, Yun Chengfu, Yun Chenglu and Yun Dalang, and on her right sat her second aunt Li Rongyue, Yun Yue, Yun Chengshou and Yun Erlang.
When they heard the door open, everyone looked towards Yun Ran and the others.
"Grandma!" Yun Ran's eyes were sore and he rushed towards Zhao Zhilan.
Yun Chengxi also followed behind her and called softly, "Grandma, Grandma!"
"Hey! Good kids!" Zhao Zhilan smiled, opened her arms and hugged the two children in her arms.
"Grandma misses you guys so much. She was wondering why you guys haven't come home yet even on the fifth day of the New Year."
When Zhao Zhilan said this, Yun Ran felt a sinking feeling in his heart, fearing that she would know that he had been kidnapped.
Zhao Zhilan hugged the two children tightly and sniffed: "You and your second brother are really a worry for me. Sigh... I'm glad you're okay, I'm glad you're okay!"
This... must be known.
Yun Ran smiled bitterly. That’s right. This matter has been widely spread. How could grandma and the others not know about it?
Even if Brother Xiaojing deliberately concealed the truth from the people in Ping'an Town, news is dead and people are alive. Grandma and the others will find out sooner or later.
Yun Ran sighed softly and patted Zhao Zhilan on the back: "Don't worry, grandma, my second brother and I are doing fine! My second brother is now a general!"
"Oh, you guys are really awesome!" Zhao Zhilan let go of Yun Ran and Yun Chengxi with a smile. "A princess and a general, they can reach the sky!"
"Haha," Yun Ran smiled and glanced at Yun Chenglu beside him.
Yun Chenglu gave her a helpless look. Just now, before Yun Ran and the others came, his grandmother grabbed his ears and scolded him for a long time.
He originally thought that since he was now a general, it was such an impressive thing and his grandmother and parents would surely be extremely happy.
As a result, as soon as he entered the door, he was scolded by Zhao Zhilan. After Zhao Zhilan finished scolding him, Li Rongyue and Yun Erlang scolded him together.
After the scolding was over, it was Yun Yue's turn again. She was crying and scolding with snot and snot, and even the little boy Yun Chengshou came to join in.
In the end, it was his eldest brother and third sister Yunhua who came over to intervene and he was rescued.
Now, he watched Zhao Zhilan say a few words to Yun Ran, then pulled him to sit next to him. The two of them talked and laughed, and he sighed.
Alas, Yun Ran was obviously more impulsive than him at that time and didn't care about his life, so why was he the only one who was scolded?
