Chapter 275: Grave Sweeping

Yun Zhuan had no intention of visiting anyone at the palace when he returned home.

I just plan to stay in Yun Mansion and live happily with my family.

After the last banquet, Yun Ju'an woke up the next day to find the outside covered with a thick layer of silver snow.

Yun Jianan happily built a snowman in the yard. Seeing that she was working very slowly alone, Luo Yong called the servants to help.

But in the end, there were many snowmen standing in the yard.

As soon as the afternoon sun came out, it was crossed out.

Although it was a bit regrettable, Yun Zhuan felt that this was normal and it didn't matter. Fortunately, when the pile was first built, the elders in the family and grandpa had all taken a look.

Just making a simple snowman, the whole family was filled with emotion.

When he was young, Yun Zhuan disdained these childish games. Now he is just returning to nature, and he has actually gained more kindness.

Yun Rui also became interested and helped to pierce the nose hole!

Yun Zhuan burst into laughter: "Aunt, why does your snowman have an eggplant nose?"

Yun Rui said confidently: "Because Aung is the head of the family, whatever Aung says goes!"

Yun Juan suppressed his laughter and said, "That's fine, whatever Grandfather says is what it is!"

Yun Ke didn't feel sorry for his little girl. When she was little, she always pestered him to play snowball fights, so he rolled a small snowball and gently hit Yun Ju'an with it.

A snowball hit Yun Zhuan'an directly on the back, and then a gorgeous ice flower bloomed, and the ice fragments of the snowball fell everywhere.

Yun Ju'an curled up an evil smile on his face, then he made a snowball and threw it at his father.

"Good boy, you dare to bully my Jiaojiao? I'll teach you a lesson!" Yun Rui could never bear to see Yun Ke bullying his beloved granddaughter!

So he dug out a huge snowball from somewhere, picked it up and ran towards Yun Ke at the top of his lungs. Yun Xin and his brothers joined in the snowball fight together!

After a very satisfying snowball fight, in the afternoon, the group rested in the flower hall, watching the snow on the branches slowly melt, and then the snow on the eaves, turning into snow water and dripping from the eaves.

Yun Zhuan picked a plum blossom with a smile:

"The plum blossoms are in great shape this year! But in spring and summer, the crabapple blossoms are still better!"

Yun Rui continued, "Take this branch of plum blossom to see your uncle?"

The cemetery has been built for such a long time, but Yun Zhuan has never met his uncle. No matter from which perspective, he should go and see him!

"I'll go by myself!" Yun Yuan stood up. "You guys just wait for me at home. I have something else to say to uncle, okay?"

Yun Rui looked at Yun Jianan's eyes which suddenly dimmed, and said, "I'll do as you say. If you go by yourself, you'd better use our driver, in case he doesn't know the location!"

"You're right. I'll go now and sweep the new snow off the stele!" Yun Ju'an said with a smile, but there was a hint of bitterness in his smile.

Duhuo naturally went with Yun Zhuan. The streets of the capital were not as lively as before. Perhaps it was because it was almost the end of the year. Yun Zhuan was a little dazed and said:

"In that case, why not go to the old-fashioned bakery in front and buy some of the cakes that my uncle used to like!"

Uncle did love to eat those things, but it was so long ago that Yun Zhuan might not even remember if there were any new items.

Duhuo thought for a moment and said, "It's water chestnut cake, lotus crisp, crab shell roe, and some white jade square cake, shall we?"

After a long time, I realized that cakes are just that kind of thing, and there are no other things.

Yun Zhuan nodded, and when Duhuo came back with the cake, she took a piece of white jade square cake and tasted it:

“The taste remains the same.”

"Let's go."

Yun Zhuan held the cake in his arms, and it seemed that his memory had extended back to a long time ago.

Uncle bought cakes and he also liked to eat cakes, but Yun Zhuan only liked to eat those cakes from the palace and didn't like those cakes made by folk handicrafts. So, Yun Zhuan once again actually knocked over the cake box.

She had made so many mistakes in the past that she felt she was running out of time to make amends.

Even if she repents now, her uncle can't come back.

They finally reached the mountain. The wind was gentle and the water was beautiful. Even the water in the river was still soaked with ice chips. The biting wind blew straight into Yun Zhuan's face.

Yun Zhuan narrowed his eyes slightly and walked towards the quietest place.

The place was very clean, without any impurities, probably because it was cleaned all year round.

There was a lot of snow on the stele, and there were faint traces of being wetted by the snow.

Yun Zhuan said with a smile: "Uncle, your good niece is here to see you!"

As he spoke, Yun Zhuan placed the cake in front of the tombstone, lit two more incense sticks, poured two more glasses of wine, and then said softly:

"Uncle, are you okay over there? Look, I'm back and I want to bring Grandpa back with me!"

Yun Zhuan thought for a while and said, "Oh, you may not know yet, you have taught a female emperor, and a wise one at that. If you think about it now, you are also considered an imperial teacher, right? How about it, isn't it an honor?"

As Yun Zhuan spoke, tears began to fall.

Three years ago, in the winter breeze, on the grass, Yun Huai stood there and smiled at the little girl he loved.

Now, in the winter breeze, on the grass, Yun Ju'an stood in front of the monument and smiled at it.

Duhuo stood not far away and vaguely saw the monument turn into a shadow and become the appearance of the eldest master of the Yun family. There, a breeze blew slowly, as if caressing her head.

For some reason, Duhuo's eyes became unexpectedly blurry.

Yun Zhuan kowtowed three times to Bei, and then said, "Uncle, don't worry, I will take good care of my grandfather. When I find my brother, I will let him come back and kowtow to you!"

Originally, Yun Zhuan was dazzled by the letters from Yun Fuzhi, but later, the more she thought about it, the more it did not seem right. She felt that her brother was more than just a traveler, and the things that followed would probably make Yun Zhuan even more frightened.

She was afraid that Yun Fuzhi had forgotten how his uncle died, and she was also afraid that he was really going to avenge his uncle.

In the uncivilized and barbaric areas of Biansha, there are ten thousand ways to torture people, and Yun Fuzhi is just a young man who has been passing the imperial examination for less than a year. Facing the sufferings of Biansha, she doesn't know how such a young man should plan to achieve such an outcome!

She didn't want Yun Fuzhi to lose his life because of this!

But Yun Zhuan couldn't say too much to her uncle right now. She slowly stood up and gently stroked the tombstone:

"Uncle, I'll come to see you next time!"
