MTL - The Stepmother is Unkind-Chapter 27
Going out yesterday, the sur skirt was really inconvenient, so Yin Mingyu disregarded Xie Ce's eagerness to fly out and proposed to go back to the yard to change clothes first.
Xie Ce ran after her with small steps, but after running for a while, he couldn't keep up, and shouted anxiously, "Mother, wait!"
Yin Mingyu waited, took out the oiled paper bag that Xie Qin gave her yesterday, stopped to eat the pine nuts every time he walked a distance, and waited for Xie Ce to walk to her side. Pine for him.
Just like that, Yin Mingyu teased Xie Ce for a full cup of tea, as if he was fishing for a few dozen steps to the right.
Xie Ce was young, and he was usually carried by a nanny and a maid. This section of the journey made him tired. When he entered the yard with her, he was stopped by the high threshold of the main house.
Yin Mingyu stepped in first. He raised his leg hard behind him, and finally put it on the threshold. He tried hard with both hands, and his little foot hooked the threshold hard, but he couldn't climb up.
Nanny Tong watched anxiously from the side, but glanced at the young lady, but did not dare to say anything or help.
Yin Mingyu stepped in and turned to look at him.
Xie Ce's small body seemed to be worth a thousand pieces of gold.
He stretched out a small foot that crossed the past, nimbly point here and there, and groped for the ground, but he couldn't touch the ground, so he didn't dare to move. Yin Mingyu: "Mother~"
He is now like a little turtle that can't hold its shell, pulling with all his limbs, but he can't touch the ground and can't move forward.
Yin Mingyu couldn't help laughing, walked over to mention him, and patted his ashes-free front.
Xie Ce instantly forgot what happened just now and giggled.
He was much more lively than the first time he saw him.
Yin Mingyu put him on the chair and said, "You sit here and wait, I'll come out later."
Xie Ce sat up obediently, nodded earnestly, his feet were hanging in the air, and he did not shake.
Looking at his posture, Yin Mingyu suddenly felt emotional, even if he was coddled, taught by words and deeds, and immersed himself in his ears, some things would slowly be implanted in his body.
It is not just given by power and wealth, family traditions are like this, passed down from generation to generation, one can see the cultivation of the previous generation from the younger generation, and can also see the cultivation of the next generation from the elders.
Yin Mingyu would envy such a person when she saw such a person in the past, but whatever her background and past were, she was all cultivating, and now she is very satisfied with herself.
Xie Ce didn't know what she was looking at, and couldn't read her eyes. He only knew that she had been looking at him, so he returned a clean and innocent smile.
Yin Mingyu followed Zhanyan, patted the child's head, and taught the maid to bring a plate of peeled pine nuts, "Look at it, don't get stuck."
Xie Ce imitated her, and also solemnly warned the nanny and maid: "Take care of me."
When he said this, the whole room burst into laughter.
Xie Ce frowned, his chin closed slightly, and his brows pressed down, expressing his displeasure.
Nanny Tong hurriedly held back her laughter and taught the other maids to take it.
Yin Mingyu walked into the inner room with a smile. After a quarter of an hour, he tied his long hair with a headband, changed into a neat narrow-sleeved riding suit, and greeted Xie Ce, "Let's go."
Xie Ce turned over, lay on the chair, slid down, and followed Yin Mingyu happily.
Children can't walk too much, so Yin Mingyu asked Nanny Tong and the others to hold him, went out all the way, and got on a carriage to the hunting ground.
Yesterday, the third lady Yin Mingrui and the fourth lady Yin Mingruo knew that Yin Mingyu was coming when they had to go back, but the hunting ground was too big and they couldn't meet, so they came to the hunting ground early today and waited not far from the entrance.
The two of them stood in an inconspicuous place, but they could see the Xie family's carriage coming over at the first time, but they just waited for two quarters of an hour, but they didn't see anyone.
Yin Mingrui was quite suspicious, "Isn't the second sister still up?"
Yin Mingruo hesitated: "It shouldn't be?"
After Yin Mingrui asked, she retorted to herself, "No, she only married to the Xie family, and won't teach people to grasp the shortcomings in this matter."
Yin Mingruo let out an "um", turned her eyes, was stunned for a moment, suddenly pulled her sleeve nervously, and said stutteringly: "Third sister, you, look, did the Weiyang County Master come to us? …”
Yin Mingrui turned her head and looked over, meeting the eyes of the Weiyang County Lord, and her body immediately stiffened.
Weiyang County Master's beauty and vigour attracted the attention of the people around her as soon as she appeared. Seeing her leading people to a place, they all followed.
Weiyang County Master was used to being arrogant, never taking other people's eyes in his eyes, and walked up to the two concubines of the Yin family.
She is like this, but the people surrounding her are not in such a state of mind.
Liu Erniang, Liu Yue, looks graceful, and she is not outstanding under the dazzling light of the Weiyang County Lord, but with her soft temperament that is completely different from the Weiyang County Lord, she will not be bland and unknown.
But she looks like this, but in fact she enjoys being in the sight of everyone. She can't hide her complacency in her eyes, but there are some blind Lang Jun who can't see through her skin and are in love with her.
Jiang Qiniang and Jiang He happened to see them when they came over, and gave Liu Erniang a cold sneer, recognizing Yin Mingrui and Yin Mingruo, but they just stood in the distance to watch.
When the audience saw the Weiyang County Lord standing in front of two unfamiliar ladies, they were talking about—
"Who are those two ladies?"
"do not know."
"Did you offend Weiyang County Master?"
"Maybe..."
Someone who knew Yin Mingrui and Yin Mingruo whispered to the people around them, "These are two concubines from the Yin family."
"Yin family?"
"That Yin family?"
"Yes, she is married to the concubine of Yin Erniang from the Xie family."
The news gradually spread, and Mrs. Lang Jun, who was watching, looked at Yin Mingrui and Yin Mingruo with sympathy.
The entanglements between the Yin family, the Xie family and the Weiyang county master have been heard in the capital. With the temperament of the Weiyang county master, there is no need to doubt that it is definitely not good.
Yin Mingrui and Yin Mingruo naturally thought the same way. The closer Weiyang County Master and others got closer, the more uneasy they became, but no matter how uneasy they were, they didn't escape.
They maintained their manners, their voices tightened and they greeted respectfully and politely.
The Weiyang County Lord looked at them arrogantly, and said "um" in a very perfunctory way.
Yin Mingrui suppressed the panic and asked politely, "I don't know what happened to the county master?"
The Weiyang County Master did not reply to the two of them. Another lady behind her stood up, with an obvious domineering tone, and said, "Are you Yin Sanniang and Yin Siniang?"
Since I found it, I know it, so why bother asking?
Yin Mingrui murmured in her heart and nodded "yes" while guessing her identity.
"I'm the head of Yangle County." After that, the lady raised her chin slightly and waited for the two to say hello.
Qin Qi, the head of Yangle County, and grandfather, the Prince of Yangle County, was the half-brother of the late emperor. The late emperor did not like him, and because of his filial piety, he had to seal the hereditary county prince, but he never gave him the slightest preferential treatment of power. Even the other Qin clan members who were promoted to the clan were inferior.
After Emperor Zhao ascended the throne, the old things were a little light, and the current Yangle County King took great pains to go to the camp. It was only in the past few years that he came to the Chengwang.
No matter what the inside is, he is also the king of the county.
Yin Mingrui and Yin Mingruo knew each other's identity and said hello together.
The head of Yangle County was satisfied, nodded, and said in a arrogant manner: "Since we have arrived at the Longyu Hunting Ground, we have to learn from each other and forget about the hunting. How about a kick?"
Yin Mingrui looked embarrassed and wanted to refuse.
However, before she could speak, the county lord Yangle said aggressively: "It's just a kick, do the two ladies want to lose face of the county lord?"
The county master of Weiyang seemed to have nothing to do with him, so he didn't even look at them.
Yin Mingrui and Yin Mingruo quietly glanced at the expression of the Weiyang County Lord and did not dare to refuse.
The Yangle County Lord smiled contemptuously, and without waiting for the two to answer, he taught people to prepare the ball.
More and more Mrs. Lang was watching, and when they saw that the Bishop of Weiyang County had emptied the Cuju field, the head of Yangle County, the second lady of the Liu family, and the two ladies of the Yin family all appeared on the field.
The rules are set by the head of Yangle County, not a confrontation, but a vain fight.
They complete some fancy moves together, and the team with the better and more difficult ones wins.
Yin Mingrui and Yin Mingruo were relieved when they heard the comparison. It doesn't matter if they win or lose, it avoids collision and always has less trouble.
And Yangle County Lord looked at the expressions of the two, with a bit of a joke in his smile.
The discussion officially started. The four people in the field started with ordinary movements, and the difficulty gradually increased, but they were evenly matched. From time to time, people outside the field cheered and applauded.
The county owner of Weiyang was sitting on a chair on the side of the field, not paying much attention to the people in the field, but looking at the onlookers, searching for something.
At this moment, Yin Mingyu led Xie Ce to the hunting ground, and found that there were only a lot of people in the cuju field, and there was a lot of noise, so he came over.
The sound of discussion came from inside—
"it is good!"
"The Lord of Yangle County has good footwork!"
"I didn't expect that Yin Sanniang and Yin Siniang's Cuju skills are so good~"
"If it's a direct confrontation, it will be more exciting..."
"Extremely!"
Yin Mingyu frowned slightly at the name of the audience.
Jin'er and Yin'er looked at each other, patted their predecessors' shoulders, and said politely, "This lady, can you ask me..."
The lady turned back impatiently and was about to scold her when the people around her recognized Yin Mingyu and immediately pulled her to stop her, with a hint of excitement in her tone: "Is that Mrs. Xie Shao?"
When the lady in the front heard this, her eyes lit up.
Jin'er was a little strange, and replied in a proper manner, "It's my young lady."
The lady said very quickly: "On the field is the Yangle County Lord, the second lady Liu and the two younger sisters of the young lady, sparring to learn Cuju."
As she spoke, she turned sideways to move aside, and when the people around heard the voice, they all moved out of the way, looking at Yin Mingyu with burning eyes.
Yin Mingyu nodded calmly at the left and right sides, and then walked in with his head held high.
Xie Ce sat in the nurse's arms, saw so many people on the left and right, and then looked at the stepmother in front, struggling to get down, followed her with her head held high.
But his small person, such a gesture, amused the young men and women around him.
In the field, as soon as the county master of Weiyang saw the people outside the field, he sat up straight and turned back to the field, as if he didn't care about Yin Mingyu at all.
The head of Yangle County deliberately tried to please the head of Weiyang County. After realizing it, the corner of his mouth evoked a smirk. When he hooked the ball, he pretended to miss it, and the ball flew to Yin Mingrui.
Yin Mingrui noticed something was wrong and jumped back quickly, and then avoided the ball.
The head of Yangle County apologized insincerely: "Yin Sanniang, I made a mistake for a while, you don't care about it, right?"
Yin Mingrui twitched the corners of his mouth, "No."
"That's fine."
The Lord of Yangle County raised the corner of his mouth, Ju Qiu returned to his feet, and the next action was another "mistake". Ju Qiu flew out from under her feet and rushed straight towards the Yin sisters.
Yin Mingrui avoided it, and the ball slammed into Yin Mingruo's chest.
"hiss-"
A young girl of this age happens to have some secret pains. Yin Mingruo was in great pain when the ball fell, but she didn't dare to cover her chest in public, tears welling in her eyes.
Yin Mingrui hurried to her and asked nervously, "Siniang, are you alright?"
Yin Mingruo held back her tears and shook her head, "Nothing, third sister don't worry..."
Yin Mingrui was already in a hurry, so she turned her head and asked angrily the county head of Yangle: "What does the county head mean?"
The corner of Yangle County's mouth raised a bit harshly, "It is inevitable that there will be some collisions in Cuju, Yin San's wife is so small, I will not dare to communicate with Yin's daughter in the future..."
"you!"
Liu Erniang, who was beside the county lord of Yangle, evoked a mocking smile without a trace, walked to the side of the county lord of Yangle and persuaded: "County lord, forget it, Mrs. Xie Shao is the sister of the two ladies of the Yin family. ."
Hearing the words, the head of Yangle County couldn't hide his jealousy, and said, "I almost forgot that the two ladies have two sisters who married into the Xie family, and maybe they can wait to marry into the high door as a successor like a concubine in the future... "
Yin Mingrui and Yin Mingruo's expressions changed instantly, and the Weiyang County Lord frowned slightly, but didn't say anything.
There was an uproar in the field. The meaning of Yangle County's words was really vicious. If it spread like this, the reputation of the Yin family girl would be ruined.
"It's so pathetic~"
"There is no misfortune, I have suffered for my sister."
The head of Yangle County has always been so carefree and has no good reputation, but he has pity on the two ladies of the Yin family.
Everyone sighed and looked at Yin Mingyu involuntarily.
Both Jin'er and Yin'er were furious.
Yin Mingyu just listened to the discussions in his ears without any disturbance, and stared at the field with extremely cold eyes.
At this time, the Weiyang County Master got up, walked over, and asked with certainty, "Miss Yin, do you want to play a game or two?"
Yin Mingyu looked at her quietly, suddenly showed her face, and said in a normal tone as if someone asked her what to eat, "Okay."
"It's just for fun. If it's a bit offensive, I hope the county owner... and the county owner don't care too much."
