Chapter 468 Mr. Fang needs to work hard
Yun Hua's voice rose slightly involuntarily at the end of the syllable. Yun Ran sniffed and his eyes felt a little sore.
She also recalled the days when she and her fourth sister went to visit her mother-in-law, Aunt Qiong and her third sister every day.
In the square courtyard, there are two furry white rabbits. Four people are feeding the rabbits around the cage, or watching the mother-in-law teach the third sister how to do embroidery.
They spent countless hours of laughter and joy together.
And today, "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains of Dakang" is finally completed.
The people gathered by the lake were now completely captivated by the scroll.
There were constant exclamations, discussions and cheers from the crowd.
But no one noticed that at the end of Yunhua's sentence, she called her mother-in-law instead of "Mrs. Yu".
Mother-in-law, her mother-in-law. Yun Ran curled the corners of her mouth and instantly understood her third sister’s “selfishness”.
At this moment, she suddenly felt her hand holding the scroll sink, and she turned her eyes to look in the direction where Ye Jingzhen was.
On the other side of the lake, Ye Jingzhen was also looking at her and made a gesture to her.
This was something the two of them had discussed before. Yun Ran nodded, and the two of them pointed their toes and in unison hung the scroll on the tree branch, then dropped it quietly to the ground.
Mixed in with the noisy crowd, Yun Ran walked along the lakeside to the opposite side of the scroll. Only then did he see the full picture of "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains in Dakang" and was immediately shocked.
From a distance, this ten-meter-long embroidery looks like a large landscape painting.
The mountains and rivers are majestic, the rivers and seas are surging, the countryside is quiet and leisurely, and the state capital is prosperous and noisy. These seemingly incompatible scenes are well integrated together, showing the whole picture of Dakang's magnificent territory to everyone.
Yun Ran thought of the part that her third sister had embroidered. She roughly calculated it and looked at the embroidery of that part, but found that Yun Hua had connected it very well, without any disobedience. The whole scroll was seamlessly integrated. If it was not deliberately explained, no one would know that it was actually done by two people.
"That's great! Now Madam Yu's last wish has been fulfilled! I feel relieved." A woman dressed in cloth trousers patted her chest happily.
"Although I can't read, I'm good at sewing. The neighbors all ask me to make clothes for their children! But I can't compare to Madam Yu and her little apprentice!"
"Yes," an older woman with a vegetable basket came over. "I heard that Miss Yun is only in her teens and hasn't even married yet. I reckon that if Da Kang's embroidery skills are second to none, no one dares to claim first place!"
Of course, Yun Ran was delighted to hear that. Her third sister was taught by her mother-in-law herself, and she could embroider the "River and Mountain Picture" so well, so she would naturally be the first!
Just as he was thinking about it, a scholar-like man holding a pen beside him spoke up: "Talented people emerge in every generation, talented people emerge in every generation!"
Yun Ran turned around and saw a man who looked like a painter copying the "River and Mountain Painting" on the other side. He was so engrossed in the painting that he automatically blocked out the noise around him.
Yun Ran shook his head and chuckled. It seemed that after the Great Kang period, the third sister and this "River and Mountain Painting" would become popular.
"Let's go, haven't you seen enough?"
A familiar cold voice came to her ears, and Yun Ran came back to her senses. She didn't know when Ye Jingzhen had walked to her side.
"Brother Xiaojing," she glanced at the nearby Luodong Tower, "Who are the people coming to the palace?"
Luodong Tower entertained some officials from the court. Yin Qiu went there to sit for a while and wanted to take her with him to show her face, but she refused.
She still didn't like sitting with people who spoke in official language and flattered each other all the time.
Ye Jingzhen said: "They are just some civil officials, and some young ladies and wives of officials. The military generals and those rough guys are not interested in these things."
But Yun Ran didn't ask that. She rolled her eyes and asked, "What about Queen Chu?"
Ye Jingzhen smiled and pinched the tip of her ear, which was red from the cold. "Why, are you afraid that Queen Chu will deny her debt? This idea was yours. Now I'm afraid that everyone in Dakang can testify that she can't deny her debt."
"Yes!" Yun Ran nodded, his eyes sparkling. "Then let's go to Wangxia Pavilion. My third sister and the others are all over there."
Ye Jingzhen pursed his lips, took Yun Ran's hand, and the two returned to Wangxia Pavilion together.
As soon as he went up to the second floor, Yun Ran heard a burst of laughter coming from the elegant hall with the door half-open.
"Did Master Fang give you a piece of calligraphy? It's pretty good!"
"The strokes are vigorous and powerful, and the brushwork is free and natural. It is a beautiful piece of calligraphy."
"But who would give a girl a gift with words like this? Hahahaha, Fang Xian is still the same nerd as when he was little!"
"Actually, this word is pretty good, Huaya, don't listen to Yueya's nonsense!"
It was the voices of Yunyue, Big Brother and Grandma.
Yun Ran and Ye Jingzhen looked at each other, then pushed the door open and walked in together.
In the elegant hall, everyone was gathered around a calligraphy piece, commenting on it and talking about it with great interest.
Hearing the door open, Yun Yue was the first to look over and greeted Yun Ran and Ye Jingzhen: "Ran Ran, Young Prince Jing'an, come quickly! There are some good things to see!"
"Here I come!" Yun Ran smiled and ran towards Yun Yue.
Ye Jingzhen followed behind her and raised the corner of his mouth with interest.
Yun Ran was pulled in by Yun Yue and saw the calligraphy in Zhao Zhilan's hand at a glance.
The calligraphy is truly good, with strokes of gold and iron, free and unrestrained, and anyone who sees it will praise it.
However, the words written here are: The sharpness of a sword comes from sharpening, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold.
Yun Ran: ...
Although she knew what Fang Xian meant, it was nothing more than praising her third sister for finally getting what she wanted after so many years of hard work and helping her mother-in-law fulfill her wish.
But at this time, who would give a girl a poem like this? It's like a teacher praising a student.
If Fang Xian had any common sense, he would never do such a thing, even if it was just writing a few sentimental poems about love between a man and a woman.
The third sister is different from her and the fourth sister. She still likes this kind of pretentious things.
"It's just an inscription, you're thinking too much."
Yunhua stood aside, smiling gently, "Master Fang and I are just friends. What's wrong with him giving me this kind of inscription?"
As she spoke, she waved to a little girl sitting in the corner and said, "Hang it up for me later in my embroidery room. It will serve as an encouragement."
She said this openly, as if there was really nothing between her and Fang Xian, but Yun Ran keenly noticed that the moment she turned her head, the back of her neck turned red.
Yun Yue, who was standing by, believed it and felt a little disappointed: "Third sister, Lord Fang is young and promising, but he was only second in the imperial examination and is about to be promoted. He is also interested in you, so why don't you like him? Look, Ran Ran and I are engaged, you have to hurry up!"
"I know. My parents and grandma haven't urged me yet, but you are concerned about it!" Yunhua curled her lips and smiled, a blush slanting across her round oval cheeks.
Yun Ran silently looked away and secretly hid the little secret he had discovered in his heart.
I sighed to myself: Lord Fang needs to work hard!
