Chapter 407 Reunion
Someone recognized the Ye family's carriage and saw it coming from the direction of the palace. Naturally, he guessed that the carriage was the county lord Jinwen who returned to the court with victory today.
Some people saluted and greeted the carriage, some kowtowed to the carriage, and even the people followed along the way to the Ye Mansion.
"Here's here!" At the gate of Ye Mansion, Jiang, Duan and Meng led a group of children to stretch their necks and look into the distance. A servant from Ye Mansion ran quickly from the long street and reported in a daze.
"Come?" Jiang was shocked, took a few steps out, and almost staggered if he accidentally fell.
"Sister-in-law, walk slowly. Since Ayun is back, he will not run away." Duan smiled and supported Jiang. Although she said that, her steps were no slower than Jiang.
Ye Anjun and his brothers were also waiting here. The whole court was aware of King Yong and the county lord Jinwen. General Yan returned with his army today. Ye Anzheng, Ye Anjun and Ye Anhuai all claimed leave to their superiors and returned home to welcome the elder sister today.
The officials of the Ministry of War, Ministry of Justice and Hanlin Academy did not disagree, so they naturally agreed readily.
So, the master and servant of the Ye Mansion looked up together and even stood in a group of people.
"Hey? Why are there so many people following behind the carriage?" Ye Anshu looked confused when he saw the shadow of the carriage.
But no matter what everyone cares about, the agitation in their hearts is naturally beyond words.
"Ayun, we're home." When the carriage stopped, Ye Yonghe gently patted Ye Ningyu's arm.
Ye Ningyu suddenly felt awake, Qinglian and Luzhu, who had been following the carriage, had taken off Yu Bing's clothes and changed to the clothes he usually served his master in the Ye family.
Qinglian walked to the carriage and lifted the curtain. Ye Yongde and Ye Yonghe got off the car one by one.
After getting off the car, the uncle and the other two stood on the left and right of the carriage.
Ye Ningyu walked off the carriage and took a very slow pace.
"Ayun!" When Jiang saw his daughter's figure, two lines of clear tears couldn't help but slide from the corner of his eyes.
"Mother." Ye Ningyu quickly came to the front of the mansion.
With a plop, she knelt on the ground. "The unworthy girl Ye Ningyu returned safely from the northern border and asked her mother and all her uncles and aunts." After that, Ye Ningyu kowtowed deeply and couldn't get up.
This shock, Ye Ningyu's heart was filled with twists and turns, and his mood was complicated.
Mother, I saved the two thousand Ye family troops at the border, killed a great enemy, and severely damaged the Dongfang family that encircled my father on the battlefield. After this trip, I didn’t return empty-handed.
Ye Ningyu knelt under the lintel of the Ye Mansion, and said these words to Jiang in his heart, and to Ye Yongchang.
Jiang's eyes were swaying in tears and wanted to walk over to support his daughter, but unexpectedly his body staggered.
"Oh, get up quickly." Duan helped Ye Ningyu up, clenched her hand tightly, and handed it to Jiang's hand.
"Your mother talks about you all day long, and Aunt Fourth's ears are about to be called out." Duan's face was full of spring breeze.
"What you said is like you didn't talk about Ayun." Meng, who had always disliked talking, couldn't help but joke at this time.
Everyone burst into laughter and joy.
After Ye Ningyu asked An with his elders one by one, Ye Anzheng brought his brothers and sisters to come over, "Sister!"
Just now on the long street, they saw Ye Ningyu from afar. Now they looked at the eldest sister wearing silver armor and returned to the way she was the first time her family was sending her to war at the door.
But at that time, everyone's hearts were very heavy. Now everyone is happy, which is completely different from the situation at that time.
"Thank you for your hard work to protect your master on this trip. You have prepared wine and food for you in the backyard. When you go back to eat and drink, the mansion will be rewarded with merits." Jiang looked at Xiao Guard behind him, and Fang Yanhe and the soldiers of the Ye family were quite like being the mistress.
Butler Fang also looked at his adopted son Fang Yanhe who had not seen him for three months. The father and son nodded to each other, and everything was silent.
"Don't talk at the door, go in quickly." Ye Yonghe advised.
A group of people surrounded Ye Ningyu and entered the main hall. Ye Ningyu first went back to Qiushuiyuan to take off his silver armor and put on the clothes he usually had in the mansion. He was still wearing a very plain dress, but Luzhu specially put a rose-red hairpin on Ye Ningyu's head, and he looked a little more festive.
On weekdays, the Ye family holds banquets, and men and women are all separated. Today, they specially welcome Ye Ningyu, and the younger brothers, led by Ye Anshu, strongly demand to sit at the same table with their elder sister.
Ye Anshu's original words were, "If the elder sister returns home in triumph, it would be meaningless if she returns a couple to the couple."
When Jiang heard that it was reasonable, he ordered people to change the large table and set up nearly twenty seats.
The sisters had been waiting in Qiushuiyuan for a long time. When Ye Ningyu came out, he pulled him to the main hall without saying a word, completely ignoring Fang Yanqing who was waiting in Qiushuiyuan to report the important matters.
"Wait a minute." Ye Ningyu stopped, walked to Fang Yanqing, and asked in a low voice, "How about Xiao Guizi?"
Fang Yanqing nodded calmly, "Everything is right, please rest assured, girl."
"That's good. I don't have time today. I'll talk to you tomorrow." As soon as Ye Ningyu finished speaking, Ye Ningxi ran over and pulled him away again.
In the main hall, everyone sat down one by one, and the mansion seemed particularly lively. The people in each courtyard and room were all walking with a good mood today, smiling happily, as if they had a happy event.
Since the eldest girl went to war, the people in the Ye Mansion have been in panic for three months. No one of the masters is worried about the eldest girl far away on the border. Now that he has returned from triumphantly, the atmosphere in the Ye Mansion has changed suddenly. The master is happy, and the servants are naturally happy.
The wine and food on the table were already ready, and there was a bowl of noodles in front of Ye Ningyu. Jiang picked up the chopsticks and said, "My mother cooked it by herself, let's taste it first."
"My mother has always been the best." Ye Ningyu took the chopsticks and looked up and met more than ten pairs of eyes. She couldn't help laughing, "I'm embarrassed to put down the chopsticks so many of you looking at me."
The words caused everyone to burst into laughter again, and Ye Yonghe said, "Let A Jun accompany you to eat, otherwise A Yun would not be able to eat this bowl of noodles."
"Yes, yes." Jiang said hurriedly, "Before your sister went to the battle, you also had a meal of dumplings." After that, he brought another bowl of noodles and placed it in front of Ye Anjun.
Ye Anshu was not very happy, "Fifth brother doesn't like noodles, so I'll just accompany my elder sister..."
Before Ye Anshu could say a word, Duan stared back with a look. "You are everywhere! Sit it well for me!"
Ye Anshu was scolded by his mother and had to sit down reluctantly. His aggrieved look made Ye Ningxi secretly proud and kept winking at his brother.
Ye Anjun's eyes were a little wet, and he also picked up the chopsticks, "Sister, eat first, Ajun will accompany you."
Ye Ningyu smiled, took a few bites, and Ye Anjun also took a few bites with him.
"Okay, there are so many dishes today, so you don't have to finish it." Jiang smiled and put the bowl in front of his children aside.
Everyone started the meal, and the meal was very lively.
Ye Anshu and Ye Ningxi were clamoring to ask the elder sister to talk about the things on the battlefield. Ye Ningyu only said a few rough words, not explaining some things in detail.
But just these simple sentences made the Ye family's juniors unable to help but imagine. "The elder sister is so majestic. I will go to the battlefield in the future. The senior sister will retreat like a senior sister!" Ye Anshu couldn't help sighing.
