MTL - The Stepmother is Unkind-Chapter 23

On the day of the autumn hunting, many officials in the capital had to bring their families out of the capital with the holy car. The head of the Xie family had a high official position, and Xie Qin was a close minister. The carriage was naturally close to the holy car.

The Xie family's carriage needs to arrive before the holy car appears, and it will be merged into the team when it starts, so it will leave the house when it needs to get a scorpion.

Mrs. Xie arranged all the affairs properly, and only asked Yin Mingyu to show up on time. No matter how idle Yin Mingyu was, she was still punctual, so yesterday she explained that Jin'er Yin'er should call her earlier.

So when she walked out of the main room sleepily, the light of the sky first appeared, and the dim sunlight in the sky had not yet dispelled all the darkness of the night.

Yin Mingyu's yawning mouth just opened, and the coolness of the early morning in early autumn hit his face, and his mind became much clearer in an instant.

But this is usually the time for good sleep. When she stepped out of the East Courtyard, she took up her demeanor, but stood in the garden and waited for Mrs. Xie, Mrs. Xie and others for a while. After getting used to the cold air, she could not help but feel sleepy. tears.

It didn't take long for Mrs. Xie and Mrs. Xie to bring people over. Xie Ce was wrapped in a thin quilt, lying in the arms of the nurse, still sleeping.

Yin Mingyu politely greeted the two elders, and then followed them to the main entrance.

Mrs. Xie turned her head and asked her softly, "Have you written down the booklet I gave you earlier?"

Two days ago, Yin Mingyu followed Mrs. Xie's side to "learn" the director. Mrs. Xie gave her a booklet recording the Xie family's relationship network and asked her to write it down so that she would not know how to communicate with others after getting Longyu Mountain.

Yin Mingyu has a good memory. After reading it once and then making a few key points, he remembers it is almost the same.

At this time, when Mrs. Xie asked, she said, "I'm still watching. I'll be more careful when I get to Longyu Mountain."

Mrs. Xie nodded, the carriage was in front, and she said no more.

The Xie family has a wealthy family background. The three generations of wives, old, middle and young, all have their own carriages. They don't need to be in the same carriage with others. Only the child nurse holds Xie Ce and boarded Mrs. Xie's carriage.

In Yin Mingyu's carriage, there were only her and the second maid of gold and silver, so there was no need to worry too much. After reading the booklet for a while, the swaying carriage coaxed her to sleep, and leaned her head on Yin'er's shoulder little by little.

Xie Qin got into the carriage halfway, and what he saw was that she fell asleep on the carriage, her sleeping position flashed in his mind, and he stepped in and closed the carriage door to prevent others from seeing.

Jin'er bowed and saluted, but Yin'er couldn't move, so she only called out "Lang Jun" in a low voice.

Yin Mingyu slumped his legs and lay on his side on the seat, occupying a large position. Naturally, Xie Qin couldn't sit with the maid, so he said to Yin'er, "I'm coming."

Yin'er was afraid of him, so she didn't dare to say a word, she said in a low voice, and then gently lifted Yin Mingyu's head with both hands.

Xie Qin took Yin Mingyu and sat in the seat that Yin'er had just now, but he was tall and Yin Mingyu was uncomfortable leaning on his shoulder, so he moved in his sleep.

Xie Qin paused, raised his hand and took off the hairpin headgear on her head, then turned slightly sideways and let Yin Mingyu lean against his arms.

Without the headgear to poke his head, Yin Mingyu's sleeping position became more casual, his head moved, and stopped at the cradle of his neck, and his hand also wrapped around Xie Qin's waist.

Xie Qin's body froze for a moment, he glanced sideways at Yin Mingyu's sleeping face, paused for a moment, relaxed his body a little, closed his eyes and leaned on the carriage, only one hand emptily encircled her, letting her lie on the ground. arms.

The two maids all breathed lightly, Yin'er quietly winked at Jin'er, and then both of them had smiles in their eyes.

No one disturbed him. Yin Mingyu also slept on the carriage until he woke up naturally. He put his hand on Xie Qin's leg, propped up his body, opened his eyes in a daze, and still couldn't tell the current situation.

Xie Qin supported her shoulder, moved her hand away silently, and moved the numb half of the shoulder without a trace.

Yin Mingyu woke up and subconsciously stretched out his hand to squeeze his shoulders to relax him. After pinching it twice, admiration emerged in his mind: the muscles are firm, and the hand feels so good.

On his face, he asked solemnly, "When did Lang Jun come here? Where have we been?"

Xie Qin replied: "It's been an hour and a quarter of an hour, maybe another half an hour before it's time to reach Longyu Mountain."

Yin Mingyu withdrew his hand, moved to the side seat, opened the curtain and looked out.

There are cultivated fields on both sides of the official road, and there are one or two farmers who are working in the fields for a short distance.

This place is close to the capital, Yin Mingyu thought for a moment and guessed that this might be the land of some family in the capital, and those who were probably tenant farmers or slaves...

She lowered the curtain silently, looked at the bright bead hairpins on the small table, and then pulled up a broad smile without haze, and urged Jin'er, "I'm a little hungry, what about food? Put it out quickly."

Jin'er and Yin'er acted immediately, one tidying up the desktop, the other taking out different oil-paper bags from each small drawer, loading dishes one by one, and placing them on the small table.

They also made tea for the two of them, and the warm tea was delivered to Yin Mingyu.

Yin Mingyu took a sip of tea, ate a few snacks, and then picked up the dried meat to grind his teeth to pass the boring journey.

More than half an hour later, Xie Qin got off the carriage and changed to horseback, and followed the saint to drive up the mountain.

Zhuangzi's steward and his servants waited respectfully outside the door and respectfully greeted him.

Yin Mingyu only appeared in front of Mrs. Xie when she asked the servants to recognize her at first. After that, she hid behind Mrs. Xie and Mrs. Xie and looked at Zhuangzi quietly.

According to Mrs. Xie, even if it wasn't for the autumn hunting season, the old lady often came here to stay. Later, when Xie Ce was born, she was too young. Mrs. Xie missed him and didn't come here again. This time she brought Xie Ce here not for the purpose of Autumn hunting, just for fun.

Therefore, Zhuangzi repaired very comfortably, and he also took care of the surroundings of Zhuangzi, which was both wild and beautiful.

Yin Mingyu only took a few glances, and then he was alive, and he had already started planning to go around later.

Like her, Xie Ce, who was going out for the first time, was lying on the shoulders of Nanny Tong, looking left and right as if her big eyes were not enough.

Then two people, one big and one small, looked at each other with similar excitement in their eyes.

Yin Mingyu: "…"

On the same frequency as a little doll, it seems...there's just a hint of...just a hint of... embarrassment.

And Xie Ce didn't have the shame of adults, so he reached out to her and wanted to go to Yin Mingyu.

Yin Mingyu turned his head, pretending he didn't see it, and prepared to go back to the yard to rest.

Xie Ce chased after her with disappointment. Seeing that she was about to go far, his tender voice hurriedly shouted, "Mother! Hug~"

Mrs. Xie and Mrs. Xie in front turned back in surprise, looking at Xie Ce and then at Yin Mingyu.

Yin Mingyu had to take back the steps she took, and smiled blankly, as if she didn't understand what Xie Ce told her to do.

Mrs. Xie's sourness surged, and she instructed Nanny Tong firmly: "He's a little baby, he's running around all the way, let's take him in."

Nanny Tong responded immediately, and walked two steps with Xie Ce in her arms.

Seeing that Xie Ce was getting farther and farther away from Yin Mingyu, his little hand twitched quickly in the air and hurriedly said, "No! Hug!"

Mrs. Xie was angry and depressed, but she was reluctant to say that Xie Ce was a "little white-eyed wolf", and Mrs. Xie was happy to see Xie Ce get close to Yin Mingyu, so she persuaded the old lady: "Mother, the main courtyard is busy, it is better to teach Ce'er. Go with Yin Shi."

Yin Mingyu's mind changed, everyone was busy packing their luggage, and she didn't want to go out in a big way. She looked after Xie Ce in a fair manner, so she didn't say anything about rejecting it, just waiting for the elders to decide.

Out of sight, out of mind, Mrs. Xie waved them as they pleased.

So Mrs. Xie nodded, and Nanny Tong walked towards Yin Mingyu with Xie Ce in her arms.

Yin Mingyu naturally wouldn't get tired and hug Xie Ce, so she just let Nanny Tong continue to hold her, and then walked back to her yard.

After a brief tidying up, Yin Mingyu left Jin'er in the courtyard to continue cleaning up, and then led Yin'er, Xie Ce and his servants out of the village.

As soon as they left Zhuangzi, they saw a group of ducks swimming in a small stream not far away, Xie Ce stared at it, leaned there, and stretched out his hand. Seeing that Yin Mingyu ignored him, he opened his mouth and called softly: "Mother ~”

Yin Mingyu turned around and walked towards the stream.

The maid painted a screen and hugged Xie Ce, and the nurse nurse looked at the mosquitoes flying around, worried that the mosquitoes would bite Xie Ce, and asked the maid to use a fan to drive away the mosquitoes, and then advised: "Young madam, Xiao Langjun has delicate skin, in case the poisonous insect bites, Don't worry about it."

Yin Mingyu stopped and asked her lightly, "Are you teaching me to do things?"

Nanny Tong bowed humbly and explained, "My maid doesn't mean this, it's just..."

Yin Mingyu took off the hat on his head, handed it to Yin'er, and raised his chin at Xie Ce.

Yin'er had experience, and a hood was placed on Xie Ce's head. The tulle hung down almost to Xie Ce's calf. She pulled the tulle around Xie Ce's waist, crossed it and knotted it, and Xie Ce's entire upper body was tucked into the hood, making it airtight.

Xie Ce was novel, and his little hands touched around inside the hood.

The baby nurse was dumbfounded.

"You can perform the duty of exhortation, but your duty is to protect him, not to detain Xiao Langjun everywhere."

Mrs. Xie held Xie Ce tightly, so they restrained the child and did not let the child touch anything, which saved time and effort, and did not need to take responsibility, but she knew how to judge the situation better than her.

Yin Mingyu usually doesn't bother to pay attention to these things, but he doesn't take into account all the things he should do, so he points her finger at her, which is annoying and affects her mood.

Nanny Tong waited for Xie Ce's handmaiden to be embarrassed for a moment, and she didn't dare to say any more.

Xie Ce was the most carefree, and when he was novel enough, he turned his attention to the ducks in the creek. Every now and then, he would clapp his hands happily when he saw the ducks burrow into the water and then come out from far away.

He still wanted to run to the stream, but the maids carefully persuaded him to stop him. Yin Mingyu was impatient, so he grabbed his back and dragged him back.

After a few times, Xie Ce calmed down. He just stood there and was excited. At most, he walked along the path on the stream.

Later, when Xie Qin came back and saw them, he did not enter Zhuangzi, but came to him by calling a horse.

The ducks in the water gave the horse a surprise and rushed to the other side with a thud. Xie Ce laughed, even fearing that his father had forgotten.

He didn't want to go back, so he had to look at the ducks. Yin Mingyu was tired from standing outside, but he didn't want to accompany him any more, so he threw Xie Ce to Xie Qin, raised his feet and walked back.

Xie Ce didn't want her to go, so he stretched out his hand to pull, but his small hand was in the hood, and only a small palm print was poked on the tulle.

Xie Qin asked Nanny Tong: "When did you come out?"

The nurse replied respectfully.

After a short time, Xie Qin asked Xie Ce to go back.

Xie Ce remembered that he was afraid, looked at his father cautiously, didn't dare to say anything if he didn't want to go back, and looked aggrieved.

Yin Mingyu walked ahead and said lazily, "There are also ducks on the back to Zhuangzi."

Xie Ce's eyes lit up, and then he raised his foot to chase after her.

Back at Zhuangzi, Xie Ce kept asking "Duck?", "Duck?"...

At dinner, a roasted whole duck lay on the dining table.

Yin Mingyu was still submissive and gentle in front of Xie's elders, pointing to the roast duck and smiling softly at Xie Ce, "Little Langjun, isn't this a duck?"

Xie Ce was stunned and pouted.

Yin Mingyu took a piece of duck meat for him and fed it to his mouth, "Is it delicious?"

Xie Ce took a bite, tasted the taste, and nodded dumbly.

"Good." Yin Mingyu patted his little head, "eat it."

Master Xie and Madam Xie were very satisfied with the closeness of their stepmother and son. Madam Xie looked unhappy and didn't say anything.

Only Xie Qin, Tong Nanny and others who knew the truth: "..."
