MTL - The Stepmother is Unkind-Chapter 46

Jiang Siniang did not hold a banquet in her husband's house, but held a banquet in her dowry's house.

Now that it's the end of autumn, the garden should have been withered. However, in Jiang Siniang's dowry house, there is a conservatory, which is three wide and five deep. Only flowers are grown.

As soon as Yin Mingyu stepped into the conservatory with his maid, he felt a warm feeling rushing toward his face, and then he saw a scene of abundance, separated by a door, and the difference between summer and autumn.

She likes it very much, but once she calculates her own net worth, she can only regret it. Her dowry silver decisions cannot support such a conservatory.

However, if you have the opportunity to go to Jiangnan, you must be able to have such a magnificent scene in winter.

Even if you can't go to Jiangnan, it is an unexpected joy to have the opportunity to appreciate this full of flowers today.

Yin Mingyu smirked, slowly deepening with a happy mood.

"Mrs. Xie Shao."

The host of the banquet came out to greet her with a smile, took her hand directly, looked at her and said enthusiastically, "I would rather call you Lady Yin, don't you mind?"

A mature, warm and generous sister, holding her hand affectionately, said to call her name...

Yin Mingyu couldn't help staring at the other party's smile, and nodded with a smile, "Of course it's okay, Jiang Siniang."

She didn't call Mrs. Sun Shao, and the smile of the fourth lady Jiang became brighter immediately, "Second lady Yin is really a wonderful person. If you want, you can call me 'Sister Jiang'."

"Sister Jiang."

Yin Mingyu called out smoothly, but she felt better in her heart, and her relationship with her sister-in-law was also very good.

And Jiang Siniang held Yin Mingyu's hand and went all the way through the flowers. The women's clear chatter and laughter gradually became clear, and a huge screen came into view.

The screen was a bit transparent, and the graceful figures of many women were reflected in the shadows.

The two walked around the screen, and the women on the other end looked over at the same time.

The faces that catch the eye are either beautiful, charming, or dignified... They are all different, if not the same, all the ladies present are holding women's hair in buns, and they are all married ladies.

But unlike the noble ladies whom Mrs. Xie had brought her to attend the Liu family banquet before, they still carried a youthful vitality.

Yin Mingyu was a bit dazzled, and everyone looked good. With the introduction of Jiang Siniang, he got to know the people present one by one.

Jiang Siniang introduced everyone's husband's family, but when they called them, they always called them their real surnames, and also taught Yin Mingyu to call them that way.

The eyes they looked at Yin Mingyu were mostly polite, but there was only one person with serious scrutiny in their eyes. Jiang Siniang introduced her as the eldest daughter of Master Qi, the Jiedu envoy of Lingnan.

Madam Qi is full of momentum, and her appearance is also striking. At first glance, it makes people feel a little uncomfortable.

In the entire Nuan Pavilion, regardless of her parents' family or her husband's family, the ones with the highest status are Mrs. Jiang Si Niangzi and Mrs. Qi, while the head of the Xie family is now the right minister, Yin Mingyu's status is slightly higher than the two.

However, she was the successor, and her sister-in-law was in front of her, so it seemed a little subtle at this time.

Seeing Madam Qi's eyes, Madam Jiang Si secretly glanced at her as a reminder, and then led Yin Mingyu to sit on the beauty's couch, and said, "It stands to reason that I invite you to come and play, it should be looking for two ladies who are familiar with you. I'm here to accompany you, but when I first met you, it's not easy to arrange things at will."

Yin Mingyu smiled disapprovingly and said, "Sister Jiang is polite. I am not dissatisfied with being able to enjoy the flowers in such a season."

At this time, Mrs. Qi said in a somewhat stiff tone: "If Mrs. Yin likes it, she can come here to play in winter, and enjoy plums after warming up the pavilion."

Jiang Siniang smiled and said, "I also built a hot spring pool, and I will send you an invitation when the first snow begins."

Yin Mingyu nodded and thanked her, but she felt strange in her heart. Their attitude and unexpected enthusiasm, even Mrs. Qi, who was not easy to get along with at first, was showing her favor.

The group of ladies not far away suddenly began to play in ensemble, and the music came, light and happy.

Yin Mingyu's attention was attracted by them, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

Jiang Siniang also looked at it with a smile, and suddenly said: "Actually, I have heard of you."

Yin Mingyu looked at her in surprise.

Jiang Siniang smiled close at her, "It's your eldest sister. She was chatting with me once, saying that she passed by outside your hospital and saw you and two younger sisters playing Cuju."

Yin Mingyu was startled, and his eyes became more and more surprised.

The courtyard in the west corner is a bit out of place, and it is not in the same place as the yard in the eldest lady's boudoir, so why did it pass by.

Seeing her expression, Jiang Siniang smiled helplessly, "I also went to Yin's house as a guest, I didn't see you, I just found out by asking."

At this time, Mrs. Qi sneered and said, "She is always like that. When I first entered Beijing, I was very annoyed when I saw her cold face. Who would have thought that she was stupid."

"Second lady, don't listen to her duplicity." The fourth lady Jiang held Yin Mingyu's hand and said with a smile, "You used to play Cuju with Weiyang County Lord, and many ladies in Beijing liked it when they saw it, and wanted to meet you very much. , why are you detained in the palace?"

"The people I invite to the Warm Pavilion are easy to get along with, just let go."

As she spoke, she took Yin Mingyu and walked among the ladies, shoved the pipa into her arms, and let her play it without restraint.

Yin Mingyu doesn't know how to play the pipa, but since Jiang Siniang asked her to play it, she apologized and started playing it generously.

In an instant, the unpleasant sound of out of place split into the originally harmonious ensemble sound.

The other ladies were so shocked that they forgot to continue playing, but when they reacted, there was a burst of laughter, and the lively one covered their ears and said angrily, "Second Lady Yin, this is for us. Failed?"

Yin Mingyu was the youngest, and habitually showed a well-behaved smile. After he made it, he took a bite and accepted those acquired habits, and smiled generously: "I can hide my awkwardness, but it's normal. How can I attract the attention of the ladies, look at me a few more times, so that I can be happy all day long."

The ladies laughed so hard, some even teased her as "sweet mouth".

And she didn't take Qiao in this mess. Her cool and interesting words broke the previously unfamiliar barrier at once, and everyone talked to her again, and the unfamiliarity was reduced.

Yin Mingyu doesn't know how to play the pipa, but he learned to play the lute when he was a child.

Sister Jiang Si and Madam Qi also participated, and everyone played one song after another.

A group of young women gathered in the warm pavilion, not talking about the husband's family, not talking about the back house, but just playing some elegant things. At noon, we ate together, drank two glasses of wine, and sat together in twos and threes, talking by hand, or painting...

Yin Mingyu recently read Feng Shui, and found some fantastic books. There is a lady, the youngest daughter-in-law of the Qing family of Guanglu Temple. Her surname is Wen. She is only one year older than her, and she is also newly married.

Lady Wen looked at Wen Wen and she actually liked these things, so the two of them sat in one place and chatted, because the content they talked about from time to time was quite terrifying, and there was no one else within ten feet of them.

Such a leisurely time passed very quickly, and the ladies continued to leave one after another, and when they went out, it was another lady.

Mrs. Jiang Si sent everyone out, and Mrs. Qi walked to Yin Mingyu's side and left her for a while, but she just stared at a peony and said nothing for a long time.

Yin Mingyu saw that she had something to say, so she didn't rush and waited quietly for her to speak.

After a long time, Mrs. Qi said: "Miss Yin, Jiang Si often calls friends and friends. If you want to make friends, she will be very happy to introduce you."

Yin Mingyu nodded and said with a smile, "If Sister Jiang doesn't bother me, I will definitely bother you."

Madam Qi is not a gentle person, and she said bluntly: "If you have nothing to do, you can invite us. If you have anything, you can speak to us as much as possible, and we will definitely not refuse if we can help."

Yin Mingyu smiled and said nothing, just looked at her.

Madam Qi looked away and said softly, "Be nice to her child..."

After Yin Mingyu said goodbye to Mrs. Jiang Si and Mrs. Qi, he got into the Xie family's carriage. When he saw the noble and cold man in the carriage, he asked gently, "Is Mr. Lang here to pick me up?"

Xie Qin put down the book and nodded honestly.

Yin Mingyu sat down by the carriage window and said with a smile, "Lang Jun didn't ask me first."

Xie Qin said: "I took my wife back to the house. I thought too much, so I don't have to."

In the late autumn evening, it was quite cool, Yin Mingyu closed the carriage window, looked at Xie Qin, and suddenly said, "It's a pity Langjun didn't show up."

Xie Qin looked puzzled.

Yin Mingyu did not speak bluntly, but said: "Lang Jun said to be frank with each other, but will he be angry because of my inappropriate words?"

"Of course not."

Yin Mingyu lowered his eyes and said with a light smile: "Actually, Mr. Lang, you don't teach ladies to rush to them as the people say, so some people don't want to see you."

Xie Qin was silent for a while, then said: "There is no perfect person in the world, so you need to constantly reflect on yourself."

Yin Mingyu was speechless.

Xie Qin took out the chess box and calmly invited: "Can you talk about a game?"

Yin Mingyu has everything, but sitting opposite him, looking for something to do, he took Baizi.

Her chess skills were average, and she had some spare time at the beginning. She was soon beaten by Xie Qin and had nowhere to go. She held up her chess pieces to search for a circle, only to see that the defeat was set, so she simply put down her chess pieces and readily conceded defeat.

Xie Qin collected the money slowly and asked calmly, "Want another round?"

Yin Mingyu bluntly refused, "Forget it, I don't have the slightest fun in the crushing situation."

Xie Qin glanced at her and said lightly: "The chess game is really boring, but Erniang, your sad face just now, is a little interesting."

Yin Mingyu: "...!"

"No one is perfect." Xie Qin put the sunspots into the chess box one by one, and said in a clear voice, "I will reflect on myself."

Yin Mingyu suddenly became annoyed.

After they returned to Xie's house, Xie Ce rushed up excitedly. Yin Mingyu thought that she was talking with Xie Qin, and the chess was almost counted. Xie Ce and Xie Ce were definitely the other way around, so he invited him to play chess together.

A smile flashed in Xie Qin's eyes, let them go.

And Xie Ce is really not her opponent, he won't even let go.

Yin Mingyu looked at a chess piece in the middle of the grid. He didn't feel the joy of bullying the child at all, so he touched the top of his head and said, "Forget it, it will be another two years."

Xie Ce rubbed her hand, took the pieces from the chess box, and placed the board squarely on the chessboard.

Yin Mingyu looked at the ignorant child, and suddenly said with a smile: "How can you use me to treat you well? Your mother left you a good fate, and my stepmother only bullies you for fun."

I am envious of teaching her, and I want to make some like-minded friends.
