Chapter 272 Meeting Aweng

If the ruler of a country is in poor health, then naturally his own strength will be reduced, and his own prince will be able to take advantage of the situation.

Human nature is greedy and selfish, and everyone wants to get the supreme throne!

Although the Yuan Kingdom did not go to the extent of regicide like the Northern Chu, it probably had just as many other means!

Yun Fu'an was a little preoccupied. Aweng had always been on Emperor Yuan's side, that is to say, he remained neutral, but now, there might be a great possibility of dragging the Yun family into trouble.

His elder brother hasn't returned from Biansha yet, and Grandpa has two nephews who are not too close to him. They are the sons of Yunxin's daughter-in-law, Madam Li. However, it is said that since Princess Lan Deng got married, she has had no children and married into the Liang family in the southeast.

I don’t know what’s going on!

Yun Zhuan sat in the car, deep in thought. The road conditions were bad and the bumpy ride made her drowsy.

Living alone in the carriage, Yun Zhuan put his head on her legs. In this weather, it was time to turn on the heater.

"How long will it take until the New Year?"

The New Year's Eve and New Year's celebration in Northern Chu were different from those in Yuan and Nanzhao. They celebrated it one month in advance, while Nanzhao and Yuan both used the regular calendar.

So, it's inevitable that there will be some differences.

Yun Ju'an lowered his eyes. It seemed like he hadn't spent the New Year at home for some time.

But it doesn't matter. Bring Aong and the others to Nanzhao, and let Lu Zhe send Yun Fuzhi back. The family will be quiet, safe and sound together.

That's good.

Yun Zhuan smiled and said, "I haven't been to Yuan Kingdom for a long time. I wonder if Yuan Kingdom has changed at all now!"

Duhuo said softly: "Probably there won't be any changes. The biggest change in Yuan Kingdom is the young lady!"

Miss, I haven't heard this title for a long time. Yun Zhuan felt a little disappointed:

"When Lu'e was still around, she was the one who prepared what I wore every day, and even peeled the food for me first!"

Duhuo didn't dare to answer, for she was afraid that Yun Juan would be sad.

"Okay, let's stop talking. The more we talk, the more we're going back to the past!" Yun Ju'an stared at the incense burner fixed in the carriage, staring at the rising smoke in a daze.

"It is indeed a misty and empty smoke..."

It was a bit cold outside, and Yu Qing, who was driving, was wearing a fur coat. She was a martial artist and was not afraid of the cold.

But the carriage was not moving very fast, and it was freezing cold. If something happened to the carriage, it would be terrible.

There will be quite a few people there by then!

No matter how skilled she is in martial arts, she can't control a mad horse!

Yun Zhuan thought about this winter. Winter was approaching and he wondered how it was going.

"How is the harvest this year? Are people living better?" Yun Ju'an was still a little worried. "Did Li He do his job well?"

Duhuo thought for a moment and said, "Lord Li is really serious about his work. I heard that the grain production has increased a lot this year! This winter will definitely be a prosperous year!"

"That's good. I really wasn't mistaken about Li He. What about Li He's wife? Where's Zhu'er?"

Yun Zhuan will never forget everyone who appeared in her life, including Aunt Liu, with whom she had only been in love for the shortest time.

"They already have a child. When their child was 100 days old, I sent you a gift!" Duhuo thought about it and said seriously, "The gift was quite valuable. It was a golden longevity lock!"

Yun Zhuan nodded: "It's just a token of my appreciation. As long as they live well, I won't have failed Aunt Six!"

This year, the harvest in Nanzhao is good, and the auspicious snow is a sign of a good harvest. Yun Ju'an breathed a sigh of relief. If the weather was good and the rain was good every year, the people would not have to worry about not having enough food to eat!

…

The carriage had been driving towards Shangjing for seven days. We were traveling at full speed, and only relaxed occasionally.

"Miss, we have arrived at Shangjing City!" Yu Qing said in a low voice!

Yun Zhuan was a little surprised for a moment. He rubbed his sleepy eyes, lifted the curtain and looked outside. In front of him was a large city gate. The bricks on the wall were very old. In addition, there were people guarding the city gate.

The guards checked carefully and found no changes at all, but it seemed that there were a lot of changes!

Yun Zhuan was a little dazed, and slowly retracted his body: "Go to the capital city..."

The closer I get to home, the more timid I feel.

Yun Zhuan felt somewhat unfamiliar with the scenes before him.

"Miss, are you scared?" Duhuo couldn't help but smile, "This is normal. We haven't been back for a long time!"

The carriage was inspected and soon allowed in without any control.

This is the good thing about the Yuan Dynasty: it treated its people more gently.

It is even more prosperous inside, with merchants and pedestrians coming and going on the streets. Some are setting up stalls to sell goods, while others are hawking things. It is a beautiful picture of fireworks in the world!

Where is the Yun family?

Yun Yu'an repeated it in her mind. She still remembered it, but she didn't recognize the way.

Yu Qing drove the carriage neither too fast nor too slow so that Yun Zhuan could see more of the capital city.

From time to time, maids would escort the young lady to buy rouge.

These things seem fragmented, yet very humane.

"Miss, do you want to buy something to bring back for your master and the others?" Duhuo suddenly said. The Yuan Kingdom attached great importance to etiquette when visiting someone's home. Even among family members, one had to bring something when visiting someone's home.

Yun Zhuan was thinking the same thing. He was a little tired from the ride anyway, so he might as well get off and take a walk:

"Okay, Duhuo, you can come with me. Yuqing, you drive the carriage back, I'll be there soon!"

If grandpa, father and second uncle saw her, they would be so happy!

What do they like?

Yun Ju'an couldn't figure it out, so he just asked someone to pick out a few jars of good wine and send them to his house. Apart from that, there was nothing else.

However, his second uncle was a scholar, so Yun Zhuan bought him a good-looking brush and a famous Duan inkstone, and even the ink stick was of good quality.

He also picked out beautiful headpieces for Madam Li and Madam Xie, both of which were worth a fortune.

After all, he didn't go back to the Nanzhao royal family. He couldn't travel thousands of miles to the Nanzhao treasury to get some treasures, right?

With these, Yun Juan came to the door happily.

But I saw an old man sitting at the door, looking around.

Yun Zhuan couldn't help but feel a little dazed:

"Aweng..."

When the old man heard Yun Zhuan calling him, he slowly turned around. It was the current Duke of Yun, Yun Rui!

Yun Rui is very old, even his hair has turned a lot whiter. Even though he looks energetic, one can still feel the traces of time left on him.

"It's Jiaojiao who's back..." Yun Rui's eyes were a little hazy, as if filled with tears, "Why didn't Ah Chang come back?"

Yun Ju'an felt a pang in his heart and explained;

"My sister caught a cold and couldn't go out, so I came here. Aung, are you all okay?"
