MTL - The Stepmother is Unkind-Chapter 42
Yin Mingyu came out from the West Corner Courtyard to say goodbye to his mother, Mrs. Han. He was quite calm and even a bit open-minded.
Han Shi was surprised, "You persuaded me?"
Yin Mingyu shook his head, "No."
Han shi is even more strange.
Yin Mingyu said with a smile: "As you said, if she wants to break in, if she stops her, it may not be beautiful. I am her sister, I can do something else for her."
Han shi lowered his eyes, and after a while, he disappeared, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and said, "Sister support, excellent, come back."
Yin Mingyu respectfully saluted and left.
Leaving Yin's house, Yin Mingyu suddenly wanted to eat candied haws, so he taught the driver to divert to Xishi.
And once in the West Market, among the bustling crowds, men are running around for a living, and there are women who are hawking for a living. In fact, ordinary people do not have so many constraints, only the eternal pursuit of "living better".
Yin Mingyu didn't get off the carriage, sitting on the carriage and watching the breath of life.
There were majestic guards around the Xie family's carriage, no common people dared to approach, and even adults would hug their children tightly to prevent them from colliding.
But there are also naive children who don't know much, either in the arms of their elders or in groups of three or five, quietly raising their eyes to see the tall and mighty carriage.
Yin Mingyu met a pair of curious and envious eyes, and smiled at them gently. After Yin'er finished buying the candied haws, Yin'er also came back from the bookstore, and only then did she put down the carriage curtain.
She looks different from other nobles, noble, but without domineering arrogance and contempt, strong and gentle...
In the distance, a little lady leaned on her mother's arms and asked yearningly, "A-niang, can I be like that lady?"
Her mother pulled her away, "Don't talk nonsense, go home quickly."
The little lady pouted and turned her head to look at the carriage that was moving away, until the carriage disappeared, still reluctant to turn her head.
When Yin Mingyu returned to Xie's house, he had not finished eating the candied haws.
But she ate alone and knew how to hide it well, so when she went to the main courtyard to meet her, Yin'er took the sugar gourd back to the east courtyard first.
Mrs. Xie and Mrs. Xie only greeted her mother, Mrs. Han, and did not ask anything else.
Xie Ce was away, and Yin Mingyu didn't ask. After a few words, he prepared to leave and return to the East Courtyard.
At this time, Xie Ce came back, and when he saw her, his eyes were very bright, and he ran over and circled around her, looking like he was looking for something.
Yin Mingyu was puzzled at the beginning, his eyes crossed, and he fell on the white, slightly curly hair on his sleeve, and raised his eyebrows slightly.
People really can't be sneaky.
Xie Ce searched for two times, then took her hand away, but found nothing. He immediately put his hand behind him, his whole face wrinkled, and he turned his head, "Humph~"
He would still be angry, Mrs. Xie was surprised, and then looked at him with joy.
Mrs. Xie, who had met Zhuangzi several times before, greeted him, "Ce'er, what's wrong? Didn't you go to see the sheep? Why are you angry?"
Xie Ce deliberately stepped heavily, ran past Yin Mingyu, deliberately ignored her, and threw himself in the arms of his great-grandmother.
Madam Xie took off the wool on his sleeve and said angrily, "Look at your sheepishness, aren't you having fun yet?"
Xie Ce hugged her great-grandmother tightly and said nothing.
Madam Xie turned to Nanny Tong and asked, "What's wrong?"
Nanny Tong glanced at the young lady, and explained in a low voice: "Back to the old lady, Xiao Lang was feeding the sheep in the east courtyard. When she saw Yin'er next to the young lady with the candied gourd, she came back in a hurry."
Mrs. Xie was dumbfounded, but Mrs. Xie smiled and said, "If you want to eat candied gourd, the teaching kitchen will do it for you."
Xie Ce raised his head and reluctantly replied, "Okay~"
In fact, he has a good temper, and he won't linger when he gets angry. He doesn't look like a child Xie Qin could give birth to.
The softer the child, the more he teaches people to want to be amused.
And neither of the two ladies accused Yin Mingyu of not bringing a candied haws to Xie Ce, Yin Mingyu curled the corners of his mouth and said with a smile: "Xiao Langjun, although there is no candied haws, I brought something next to me and brought it back to you. "
Xie Ce suddenly showed his face, came out of Mrs. Xie's arms, and looked at her expectantly.
Yin Mingyu's smile concealed a little ill will, and asked, "Little Langjun, you are about to enlighten, are you happy?"
Xie Ce said obediently, "I'm happy."
Only children who have not been to school are full of fantasies and novelties about the school.
Yin Mingyu turned back with a smile and waved at Jin'er.
Jin'er lowered her head and held a book of "Thousand Characters" in her hands.
Yin Mingyu took it over with a very gentle voice, "Xiao Langjun, although our family is definitely not short of books, this is a piece of my heart and I give it to you."
Xie Ce tilted his head: "..."
Yin Mingyu "hoped that my son will become a dragon", and handed the book forward again. Seeing that Xie Ce was only looking at it, he didn't pick it up, so he handed the book to Jin'er and motioned her to send it over.
Jin Er respectfully held the book and brought it to Jun Xie Xiaolang.
Of course, both Mrs. Xie and Mrs. Xie hope that their children will make progress, and they are also satisfied that Yin Mingyu remembers Xie Ce and urged Xie Ce to take it over.
Xie Ce slowly stretched out his small hand, slowly picked up the book, and dragged it back.
Yin Mingyu then smiled and resigned to Mrs. Xie and Mrs. Xie.
Jin'er followed behind her to the East Courtyard, and said with no expression on her face, "Miss, Xiao Langjun doesn't seem to be very happy."
Yin Mingyu was very happy, "You read it wrong, that child is still young and doesn't understand."
Jin'er sighed faintly, Xie Xiaolangjun's expression was exactly like the first time in his ignorant life that he was devastated, and he was speechless without a teacher.
Yin Mingyu returned to the East Courtyard in a good mood. After eating all the remaining half of the candied haws, he went to the study and took a piece of paper to write and draw.
The house was given to two younger sisters, but it had to be renovated. She planned to design it herself.
In the evening, when Xie Qin returned to the East Courtyard, there were seven or eight sheets of paper scattered on the desk, sketching and drawing, looking very messy.
"Are you...?"
Yin Mingyu raised his head and explained, "I plan to renovate my newly bought house."
Xie Qin carefully identified one or two. In fact, she had some skills. The shape of the house could be seen in the painting, but she drew various lines on it and had text annotations, which covered the original picture.
Xie Qin was very serious. As soon as he confirmed what Yin Mingyu did, he walked out of the study and came back after a while, "I have something to give you."
Hearing this, Yin Mingyu put down his pen, "What?"
Xie Qin took out a long wooden box from his sleeve, slightly longer than his palm, but not as wide as his palm.
Yin Mingyu looked at the size and had some guesses in his heart. He walked over to pick it up and opened it.
Sure enough, it was a hairpin, but it was a gold hairpin.
A golden hairpin in the shape of a peach blossom, without any other fancy design, and the weight is very solid after picking it up.
This is a solid gold hairpin!
Heart!
like!
Yin Mingyu held the golden hairpin and asked Xie Qin, "Lang Jun, did you give it to me?"
Xie Qin looked at her eyes, which were bent with joy, and nodded slightly.
Yin Mingyu raised the corners of her mouth, thinking of her previous plan, put the golden hairpin back in the wooden box, poured tea for him diligently, and held it in front of Xie Qin, "Langjun, drink tea."
Xie Qin's eyes were a bit strange, as if flattered, but something else, and slowly raised his hand to take the tea.
Yin Mingyu made up his mind to coax Xie Qin, so he went around behind him again, kneaded lightly on his shoulder, and asked him if he had gotten lighter.
Xie Qin's body was slightly stiff, and he couldn't drink the tea calmly, and said, "You are as usual, you don't have to..."
He had expected it when he sent the golden hairpin, but he never thought that it was just a golden hairpin. She could actually change her attitude to this point, and her mood was indescribably complicated.
He wanted her to laugh, but it wasn't like an exchange.
And when he was in a trance, Yin Mingyu's hand was pressing on his shoulder, and suddenly slid down his shoulder and neck to his chest.
Xie Qin was startled and stood up suddenly, the tea cup in his hand dripping with tea because of his sudden movement.
"Lang Jun?" Yin Mingyu's hand was still in the same posture as before, dazed.
The teacup fell on the small table, Xie Qin said expressionlessly: "Yin Mingyu, you..."
From his expression to his tone, he disapproved of her actions, "It's just a golden hairpin, how can... how can it be so dignified?"
"what?"
Xie Qin controlled his emotions, glared at her, then flicked his sleeves and walked away.
Yin Mingyu: "…"
She just saw that Xie Qin didn't drink tea and wanted to feed him with his tea cup. She was a little more attentive, but why does it seem like she is a goblin who wants to **** essence?
And in his expression, "I gave you something, I didn't make you do this", what role did he play?
Yin Mingyu's face is inexplicable. She is very good at coaxing people. What happened?
Is there anything you can't say?
Yin Mingyu really didn't understand and was speechless.
At this moment, Qingyu came in with a stack of books.
"what is this?"
Qingyu replied: "Mrs. Hui Shao, Lang Jun said that you will repair the yard yourself and teach the maid to find the books you need to show you."
Yin Mingyu picked up the above books and looked at them. It was about courtyards, architecture, as well as Feng Shui and the Five Elements? !
"…"
"Young madam?" Qingyu looked at her expression and asked carefully, "My servant put it on the shelf for you?"
Yin Mingyu put it down and waved his hand decisively, "Take it away."
"Yes."
And Yin Mingyu thought that Xie Qin's speech was unclear, the more speechless, the communication is very important in a good cooperative relationship, doesn't he understand?
She's not the type to be sullen or speechless by herself. She simply pays respects, finds the teaching booklet at the bottom of her dowry box, wraps it in a handkerchief, puts it in a wooden box, and gives it to Jin'er.
"Send it to Lord Lang."
Jin'er held the wooden box and went to Langjun's yard in the front yard for the first time. Following the little servant who led the way, he walked into the study with low eyebrows and pleasing to the eye, and said respectfully, "Langjun, the young lady has ordered the maid to give you something."
Xie Qin was holding a book, and it was rare that he could not concentrate. When Yin Mingyu's maidservant brought something, he ordered her to put it on the bookcase, and only opened it after the gold was returned.
Under the veil, it can be seen that it is a book. When the veil is opened, there is a separate layer of book cover on the side of the book, which is unremarkable.
But Xie Qin picked up the booklet and opened it, and the double painting exposed in front of him suddenly ignited his nerves.
"Snapped!"
Xie Qin threw down the booklet and quickly closed the wooden box, maintaining his excellent self-cultivation.
He didn't move lightly just now, it should have fallen out of the booklet.
Xie Qin picked up the piece of paper, turned it over, and saw a black ball of thread drawn on the piece of paper, and nothing else.
Xie Qin: "…"
In the east courtyard, Yin Mingyu hummed a little tune and slowly flipped through the feng shui book.
