The Stepmother is Unkind

Yin Mingyu took the initiative to reconcile, Xie Qin calmed down and thought carefully.

It was he who asked for the expatriation, and the decree was suddenly issued. After the eldest lady sacrificed, he had to rush to take up his post. At this time, it was too hasty to say that he would go out with Yin Mingyu.

Therefore, Xie Qin discussed with his father and mother: "Second mother and I are on the road, it is really hard, I plan to take the sea route, go to Lingnan first, and then send a letter to my home after it is settled. It's okay to play slowly."

The Xie family's wealth, those huge expenses on the road do not have to be considered, so he said it very easily.

And the head of the Xie family heard the words, and he didn't say whether or not his daughter-in-law would go to office with Xie Qin.

Mrs. Xie showed some disapproval, and asked directly, "Aren't you going to bring Ce'er?"

Xie Qin said rationally: "Lingnan is very different from the capital. Adults still need to adapt. If the child is too young, it is better to stay in the capital."

"no."

Mrs. Xie said firmly: "You said that you have to wait until the preparation is complete, and Erniang will go again. It's ok, but you have to bring Ce'er with you."

Xie Qin persuaded that the head of the Xie family was also worried that his grandson was outside.

Mrs. Xie didn't let go no matter what, just one sentence, she must bring Ce'er.

The family of three failed to discuss the result, so Xie Qin left temporarily. He had to prepare a lot for the expatriate, and he was quite busy. He just took time to talk to his parents.

Xie family head waited for him to leave, and persuaded Mrs. Xie: "Ce'er stays in the capital, and it will be convenient for her to study in the future. If there are three advantages and two disadvantages when going outside, we can't take care of it."

"There are Dalang and Dalang's wife to take care of them. No matter how many more people are sent from the government, the doctor will also bring them from Beijing. It's not a big problem to be careful. Seeing how strong Ce'er is running and jumping this winter, it's not necessarily a bad thing to go out."

Mrs. Xie is more concerned about another thing, "But the father and son are far apart, and they are separated. When the second mother will give birth to a boy and a half girl, and the big man is eccentric, how will Ce'er handle herself in the future?"

The head of the Xie family is a man, so she thinks her worries are unnecessary, "Ce'er is the eldest son, Dalang is measured, even if he is partial, he will not ignore the etiquette."

Mrs. Xie thinks that men take it for granted, and thinks that paying attention to etiquette is a bowl of water.

Seeing her expression, Clan Master Xie said, "Even if Ce'er is with their husband and wife, and they have children, will they not be biased? How to get around?"

Mrs. Xie affirmed: "Second mother is not that kind of person, I am afraid that Ce'er will be closer to her younger brother and sister by then."

The two of them insisted on their own words, and Mrs. Xie offered to ask Mrs. Xie for instructions.

Of course, Mrs. Xie didn't want Xie Ce to endure hardship with the outsiders, but if Xie Qin had to go to Yin Mingyu, she would stand on the side of her daughter-in-law, Mrs. Xie.

Head Xie had no choice but to agree, and then taught Mrs. Xie to prepare more. All clothing, food, housing, and travel had to be taken into consideration, and she went to search for a good doctor who was willing to accompany her.

Mrs. Xie didn't care, but since she talked to her son and daughter-in-law, she felt a little depressed when she knew that Xie Ce was going to leave her side.

At the beginning of the spring season, the Xie family did not take the exam. Except for Xie Qin who taught people to pay attention to Han Jing, the entire Xie family was busy for Xie Qin's long journey.

Another thing is the twelfth day of the second month, the memorial day of Mrs. Yin, Xie Ce's mother.

At that time, Mrs. Yin gave birth to Xie Ce with difficulty, and she bleeds. Even the imperial doctor was unable to save her, and she passed away the next day.

Therefore, Xie Ce's birthday is February 11th, and his birth mother's memorial day is February 12th.

The little baby was young, and it was only a day away from the birthday of his biological mother, so no one specially celebrated his birthday, but Xie Ce prepared longevity noodles early in the morning.

In fact, it stands to reason that Xie Ce is still in the period of filial piety and should be filial, but the Xie family has not been too shy about eating because of his health.

However, although Xie Ce was not on his birthday, he did not schedule classes on February 11 and February 12.

He likes to play with Yin Mingyu. On February 11, after eating in the main courtyard early in the morning, he was taken to the east courtyard by the nurse.

In the past few days, Mrs. Xie did not let Yin Mingyu go over to her housekeeper, and Xie Qin was also busy arranging the luggage and staff to bring to Lingnan. Yin Mingyu had nothing to do during the day, so he wandered in the east courtyard, planning to toss her. One-third of an acre.

Xie Ce is a little tail, she turns around in the yard, he will follow along, and he has to ride on the sheep to follow.

Yin Mingyu's sheep is now the size of an adult sheep, and it is very easy to carry him. After returning from Zhuangzi a few years ago, Yin Mingyu asked someone to play a small saddle and a rein.

Xie Ce wanted to ride the sheep, so she taught the maid to put on the sheep's saddle, and then let a maid lead the rope at the front, and two maids guarded him and rode on the left and right.

Yin Mingyu didn't care about him after the arrangement. He walked around the yard by himself, standing still from time to time, holding his chin and thinking about what vegetables to grow in this field so that the sheep could eat.

Xie Ce imitated her appearance and held his chin like a little adult with a thoughtful look on his face.

Jin'er and Yin'er had something to do, but they didn't follow her all the time. They came over when they were done.

Yin'er used to be the daughter of a poor family. Seeing that her wife was so focused, she asked sincerely, "Miss, no matter what you plant, shouldn't you turn the ground first?"

When Yin Mingyu heard it, he suddenly realized, "It makes sense."

Xie Ce's face was also full of seriousness, and he nodded to learn the words: "It makes sense."

His serious appearance caused everyone to laugh for a while, but he looked left and right, and finally saw Yin Mingyu laugh, and also sat on the sheep, showing his small teeth, and laughed.

They were all in a good mood, but the sheep that became a mount was obviously not in a good mood, kicking and stomping with hooves, bleating non-stop, but because there were people on both sides in front of them, they couldn't get irritable.

Yin Mingyu knew that it was very delicate and had a bad temper. He walked over and rubbed the sheep's head, threatening: "Don't be impatient, or I won't give you carrots."

Xie Ce followed suit, so he got down on his body, put one arm around the sheep's neck, and reached for its head with the other small hand, and said in a milky voice, "Throw me, don't give the candied haws."

What candied haws?

Yin Mingyu couldn't help laughing, "Want to eat candied haws?"

Xie Ce sat up straight, his eyes were bright and full of "thinking".

He moved too fast, and the maids on both sides were afraid that he would fall, so they quickly opened their arms to protect him.

Yin Mingyu held his arms and looked at him for a while, and then slowly refused: "I don't even think about it."

Xie Ce's face immediately turned cloudy, lying on the sheep's body softly, hugging the sheep's neck and muttering: "It's so pitiful, no carrots..."

Spooky.

But it is probably only children who are so carefree. If adults can say what they want to say and do what they want to do like children, they are not cute.

Yin Mingyu had a bad conscience, so he didn't give him candied haws. When he played in the east courtyard for a while, he was sent back to the main courtyard with a sheep on his back.

The next day, the big lady's memorial day.

Everyone in the Xie family changed to vegetarian food on the table. Yin Mingyu was the concubine of the eldest lady. She didn't have this relationship. When she was in the Yin family, she would follow her first mother and pay homage to the eldest lady with Sanniang and Si Niang.

Yin Mingyu had no burden, but Xie's family seemed to be worried about her emotions, so they taught her to go back after she went to the incense, and did not let her accompany Xie Ce to stay in front of the eldest lady's spiritual seat.

Now that he was notified, Yin Mingyu left quickly.

And not long after she returned to the East Courtyard, Ranliu came to the East Courtyard and said uneasily, "Young madam, the old madam asks the maid to serve you by your side in the future."

It was Ranliu who Yin Mingyu took the initiative to ask for, but Ranliu really came, and she didn't show enthusiasm. She only looked at Ranliu's pair of watery deer eyes and felt that this beauty was very suitable for turning the ground with them, so she didn't see it. The field greeted Ranliu directly: "You came just in time, come and come."

After a while, Ranliu held a pickaxe in both hands and stood blankly in the courtyard.

Strolling sheep circled around her, bleating, as if urging her why not to work.

Ranliu raised the pick in embarrassment and looked at the young lady.

Yin Mingyu had changed into simple clothes before, like a skilled old farmer, rubbed his hands, took a deep breath, held the handle of the pick, raised it high, and then dropped it.

"Den!"

A small hole was dug out on the ground, but her hand was numb, and the pickaxe fell off her hand.

Ranliu panicked instantly, but the two maids, Jin'er and Yin'er, pursed their lips and held back their laughter.

Yin Mingyu was a little embarrassed at the moment, and soon said nonchalantly: "It's okay, just look it up."

Jin'er and Yin'er looked at her hands, and then Jin'er said tentatively, "Ma'am, is it possible that this is not the season for farming?"

The three of them are masters and servants, and their relationship is unusual. Jin'er and Yin'er talk more casually, so they simply suggest that she forget it.

Yin Mingyu picked up the pickaxe, put his arm on the pickaxe, and looked at the small pit on the ground solemnly, "If you can't grow vegetables, plant a tree, plant a peach tree."

Anyway, the pits have begun to be digged, so there must be something left.

The three masters and servants did not feel that they were doing anything boring, and immediately changed their decision, from turning the ground to digging a big hole in preparation for planting trees.

So Dianliu, who came to the young lady's side on the first day, dug a hole with them for a while with a blank face, and soon merged into the east courtyard.

But Yin Mingyu's sheep were just like hers. They didn't have any good intentions. They left the courtyard after digging the pit with their front feet, and the back feet of the sheep buried the pit with their hooves.

When Yin Mingyu knew about it, he stared straight at it, suspecting that its body was not actually a sheep, but a dog, right?

"What—"

There is still evidence on the sheep's hooves that it has been digging the soil, but it is grazing under the eaves with great confidence.

Yin Mingyu once suppressed the idea of ​​roasting a whole sheep, and taught people to take the sheep to another courtyard, and then called Jin'er and Yin'er. The three master and servant changed shovels and dug the pit again.

After the pit was dug, Yin'er squatted beside him in dismay, panting, "Miss, we are too pitiful..."

Jin'er nodded, staring at the dirt pit and muttering to herself, "I don't know if the peaches are better if you plant them with your own hands..."

"That's right, it's all to blame for that sheep." Yin Mingyu's palms were reddened, so she blew her hands lightly and said angrily, "I'm really rich and pitiful."

Jin'er Yin'er looked up at her speechlessly: "..."

Yin Mingyu put down his hand and smiled, "I mean, do you want to eat preserved peaches? Why wait, I can teach you to be happy now."

Jin'er and Yin'er looked at each other, stood up immediately, and agreed without hesitation, "Yes!"
