Chapter 467 Mother-in-law, we did it
"You little bastard! You're trying to trick me with half a bottle of leftover wine and a cold chicken!"
While cursing, Nan Xuan peeled off the lotus leaves and bit off a chicken thigh.
"Ah, I really loved you in vain! Give the remaining wine to your master!"
As he spoke, he flicked open the lid of the pot with his fingers, tilted his head back and took a sip of the fragrant apricot blossom white tea.
Ling An on the side: ...
"Master, how about I get you some food and wine?"
Nan Xuan spat out a chicken bone and rolled his eyes at him: "Then why don't you just go! You have no manners!"
Ling An got up and left quickly.
Ye Jingzhen looked at this side from afar, shook his head helplessly and chuckled.
At this moment, his ears suddenly caught an old and familiar voice from the noisy sounds of a group of people below.
"Oh, my old waist, there are so many people here, even an old man like me can't squeeze in."
"Hey, hey! Stop pushing, I can't even see Ranran!"
As soon as these words were spoken, someone nearby laughed: "What Ranran? One of those two above is the beautiful owner of Fangxian Embroidery Tower, and the other is the granddaughter-in-law of Pavilion Master Rong!"
The old man was unwilling to give up and pointed at Yun Ran who was standing on the wooden bench: "What about this?"
"Ouch!" The man clapped his hands and nearly fell over laughing. "You can't even reach this level! This is the future princess of our young prince, Prince Jing'an!"
"Hahahahahaha!" The old man also laughed along.
The man looked at the old man as if he was a lunatic, then turned and left.
Ye Jingzhen had no choice but to jump off the roof on tiptoe. He saw Yibanlian standing alone in the crowd, walking unsteadily with his wine jug in his hand.
He held his forehead, quickly walked over in three or two steps, and grabbed Yibanlian's arm: "This way."
Yibanlian turned around and saw Ye Jingzhen. Her eyes curved into crescents and her cheeks flushed with drunkenness.
"Jingzhen boy, you're here!"
Ye Jingzhen frowned slightly, reached out to cover Yibanlian's mouth, then took him a few steps to the back of the attic, tiptoed, and jumped onto the roof again.
The two of them sat side by side on the roof, Yibanlian's eyes were still as big as copper bells, staring at Ye Jingzhen's profile.
Ye Jingzhen pinched his face and turned him back: "Master, over there, Ranran is there."
"I saw it." Yibanlian rubbed his cheek. "You are quite leisurely and carefree, finding such a good place with a wide view. Whether it is Lanchun Pavilion in the middle of the lake or the people on the lakeside, you can see it clearly."
Seeing that Yibanlian saw through his purpose, Ye Jingzhen didn't care.
He sat here so that he could take charge of the overall situation and prevent any people with bad intentions from sneaking in and causing trouble.
By the lake, seeing that the time was almost up, Yun Ran glanced at the two little girls standing by.
The two little girls nodded and shouted together, "The auspicious time has arrived! The Thousand Mile Rivers and Mountains Embroidery Gathering begins!"
The clear and high-pitched ending notes of the two people slowly fell. Yun Ran held the scroll with both hands, kicked off with his toes, and jumped directly into the air. His body was light, like a fairy. He flew across the wide lake and jumped directly onto the Lanchun Pavilion in the middle of the lake.
Her feet landed lightly on the railing again, and the long scroll in her hand was rolled back. The thick and heavy scroll was carried by the three sisters and placed on a shelf that had been prepared nearby.
The small stage on the second floor of Lanchun Pavilion where they had just danced had been removed and replaced with a thick carpet embroidered with gold thread. On the carpet was a low table and the embroidery tools that Yunhua usually used.
Yun Ran and Yun Yue helped Yun Hua unfold the scroll to the half-embroidered part. They smiled as they watched Yun Hua sit behind the table and start embroidering.
"Let's go," Yun Ran touched Yun Yue's shoulder, "We have nothing to do here."
Yun Yue nodded, smiled sweetly at Yun Ran, and hugged Yun Ran's arm: "Ran Ran, you flew so vigorously just now! Why don't you take your fourth sister to fly for a while too."
Yun Ran felt helpless when he saw her pouting and acting coquettishly. Yun Hua, who was sitting behind the desk, chuckled.
Yun Yue became even more excited, pulling Yun Ran's arm and shaking it: "Ran Ran, good Ran Ran, please be good!"
Yun Ran's eyebrows and eyes were like crescent moons, and he said softly, "Okay."
However, since the gathering had already begun, they would definitely not fly down from the front of Lanchun Pavilion in front of everyone, but would go around to the back of Lanchun Pavilion.
Yun Ran put her arm around Yun Yue's waist, and Yun Yue hugged her neck a little nervously.
Then, the two of them stood on the railing, Yun Ran pointed his toes, and flew down with Yun Yue.
Even though she was carrying someone who weighed almost as much as herself, she still flew with ease.
A cool breeze blew across her cheeks, but Yunyue was brave enough to put her arms around Yunran's neck and even dared to look down.
She stared at the shimmering lake, and the few swans and mandarin ducks playing in the water, and said excitedly: "This feels great!"
"Ranran, I've never seen mandarin ducks playing in the water so closely! Let's fly over their heads!"
Yun Ran nodded: "Yes, Fourth Sister, do you want one? I'll catch one for you."
She was joking, and Yunyue naturally didn't really want it, so they both laughed.
Finally, the two of them landed on the shore, with the toes of their shoes dry and loose, not a bit wet.
"Let's go and find grandma and the others." Yun Ran said.
Yunyue nodded, and the two sisters held hands and walked along the path by the lake to Wangxia Pavilion.
In the Lanchun Pavilion in the middle of the lake, Yunhua moved smoothly and attentively, embroidering "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains of Dakang".
Many scholars and poets by the lake gazed at the scenery from across the lake, reciting poems and composing couplets inspired by the scene. Painters and musicians also completed their masterpieces inspired by the scene.
The Jinxiu Garden of Fangxian Embroidery Tower was peaceful and elegant, but there were too many people who came here to visit, and the Jinxiu Garden could not accommodate them all. Qianqiong and Mujin asked people to open the back garden door as well.
The queue of people was so long that it stretched as far as the eye could see, stretching for several blocks.
This elegant gathering, which caused a sensation throughout the Great Kang Kingdom, lasted until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.
On the evening of the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Yunhua took the embroidery needle that she had worn down to a point of thinness, completed the last stitch, and tied a knot to gather the thread.
At this point, a complete painting of "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains in Dakang" was finally completed.
At that moment, almost everyone present cheered, and Qianqiong and Mujin sent people to light the fireworks that had been prepared in advance.
Bang!
Brilliant fireworks exploded in the dark night sky. Everyone looked at the gorgeous fireworks in the sky and their eyes were wet in an instant.
At this moment, the Jinxiu Garden suddenly lit up.
Thousands of candles and lanterns illuminated the entire Jinxiu Garden as bright as day.
Amid the exclamations of the crowd, Yun Ran once again grasped one end of the scroll and jumped down from the Lanchun Pavilion.
What was different from the last time was that the other end of the scroll was held in Ye Jingzhen's hand. The two of them landed on two tall weeping willows by the lake and showed the complete, more than ten-meter-long embroidery scroll to the people who had been waiting here for ten whole days.
"At this point, the 'A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains in Dakang' embroidered by Madam Yu Yiliu, who spent half her life painstakingly, has been completed."
Yunhua's voice was not loud, but it was gentle and clear, which made everyone present fall silent. They looked at her quietly and listened to her continue speaking.
"As Madam Yu's last disciple, I finally helped her fulfill her lifelong wish and won the bet with Queen Chu."
"Soon, I will lead all the sisters from Fangxian Embroidery Tower to respectfully send my mother-in-law back home!"
