The Stepmother is Unkind

In the morning, before Yin Mingyu came back from the main courtyard, Xie Ce coquettishly wanted to go with her to the east courtyard to feed the sheep. Mrs. Xie stopped Xie Ce when she knew that there was something wrong with the east courtyard, but asked Yin Mingyu to come to the main courtyard after finishing the treatment.

After Yin Mingyu disposed of the red grass, he went to fetch the sheep.

She, the sheep, has grown longer these days, and since she became the sheep of the Right Prime Minister and came to the Right Prime Minister's mansion, her standard of living has skyrocketed.

When I first entered the East Courtyard, I lay directly on the straw mat, and a maid cleans it every day.

Now that the weather is getting colder, Yin Mingyu taught people to build a small wooden shed at the base of the wall. He even planned that if it was too cold in winter, he would lead the sheep to the vacant cross-yard in the east courtyard and give it a share. A small house for winter.

It was born as a sheep and lived more comfortably than Yin Mingyu's previous life.

Yin Mingyu asked someone to untangle the rope and lead the sheep out for a walk. With his free hand, he touched its head and said, "A chicken and a dog ascend to the sky, look at your fur, smooth and slippery."

Yin'er and Hong Shu went out with Yin Mingyu.

Yin'er smiled and said, "My servant has seen sheep in the village when I was a child, but none of them are as white as you."

Hong Silk also said, "Your sheep are also smarter and more likable."

The servants of the East Court, many of them on duty, can't walk around freely, and they have no fun all day long. Since this sheep came, firstly, I haven't heard that any owner keeps sheep as pets, and secondly, it's a novelty. A handful of grass, or touch it, and brush it.

I don't know which one it is, and I even found a comb for it, so its hair is so smooth.

This lamb is not as stubborn as when Chu He was pulled over. He was not afraid of people at all. He walked and rubbed against Hong Silk's legs, which made Hong Silk laugh.

The object resembles the main figure.

Yin Mingyu tugged at the rope and murmured softly, "It has grown a lot of hair, and it's shaved. It's perfect for wool felt."

"What—"

The lamb rubbed its hoof and faced Yin Mingyu.

Its strength is not heavy, Yin Mingyu does not hide, and continues to look at the hair on its body, which is about a knuckle, as if he is really thinking about it.

"What—"

Yin'er and Hong Su laughed when they saw her arguing with a sheep.

Yin Mingyu walked the sheep to the gate of the main courtyard, left the sheep temporarily outside the courtyard gate, and then entered the house.

Now that the weather is getting colder, the windows are all sealed, and there is a warm pavilion to the west of the old lady's main hall.

Yin Mingyu wore a lot of clothes. As soon as he entered the room to teach the heat, he became a little hot. After salute, he took off his cloak and gown.

While talking, Xie Ce knew that she had brought the sheep out, so he crawled along the edge of the kang to find the sheep.

The warm pavilion is hot, and it is most likely to get sick when it is cold and hot. How could Mrs. Xie let him go out to see the wind, so she taught Yin Mingyu to bring the sheep into the house.

Yin Mingyu: "...isn't it right? Although it's clean..."

She didn't have a strong smell on the sheep, but she didn't expect to bring the sheep into the house.

And Mrs. Xie indulged her great-grandson and didn't care about it at all. She directly taught people to take it to the side room, and said to Xie Ce, "Just play in the room."

So the lamb went into the hall.

The side room and the warm pavilion are not the same, but there is a door in the middle. Mrs. Xie asks the door to be opened so that she can see her great-grandson at any time.

Xiao Yang was probably also stunned by himself. He didn't dare to move around when he was led into the house, and he was obedient even when he was hugged by the "enemy" Xie Ce.

Yin Mingyu saw that his little hand slid, and the smooth wool reversed a small piece, suddenly became interested, and taught the maid to bring the thread.

Mrs. Xie thought she was doing something until she saw that she let Xie Ce pick up a small amount of hair with her little hands, and she used thread to tie a hair tie to the back of the sheep's neck.

Mrs. Xie: "..." It's really idle.

But Xie Ce was so happy that he picked up another tuft of hair without Yin Mingyu saying anything.

Yin Mingyu reminded him not to put too much weight on his hand, so as not to hurt the sheep, and then smoothly tied the second thread under his hand.

The sheep was in the middle of the two, trembling, and then pressed by the two of them together.

There were a few threads at the beginning, the color was a little light, almost, Yin Mingyu asked the maid to bring the embroidery basket, whichever color Xie Ce's little finger was, she would wear it.

Xie Ce has a strong thirst for knowledge, and he has to ask what color it is.

The threads in the embroidery basket are of one color, in a series of shades, and they also have a literary name.

Yin Mingyu was lazy, and simply answered the same color in the same color.

There was a row of cords tied to the lamb's back, and she said all of them were red.

Xie Ce also held two other red threads in both hands, and raised his left hand first, "Mother?"

Yin Mingyu said, "Red."

Xie Ce raised another hand and asked, "This?"

Yin Mingyu: "It's also red."

Xie Ce's eyes were sharp, and he frowned, looked at his left hand, and then looked at his right hand, pouting, "No."

Madam Xie smiled kindly, "Cer is really smart."

Yin Mingyu didn't hesitate and changed his mouth smoothly, "That's Chi."

Xie Ce nodded and raised his left hand again, "Mother?"

Yin Mingyu: "...Zhu."

"Pig?" Xie Ce looked round at the thread called "pig", and immediately gave up the other thread, and wanted to tie "pig" to all the lambs.

Yin Mingyu tied it directly, and made a few braids with thread, hanging on both sides of the lamb's back.

Xie Ce clapped his hands happily: "Pig! Hang the pig!"

Yin Mingyu didn't sound right, but he didn't think about it too much. He just thought that his child's speech was illogical, and he took the unsplitted thread to weave a hand rope, and asked Xie Ce a little baby to help her stretch the other end.

Xie Ce was well-behaved and held it honestly.

Mrs. Xie took a break from her busy schedule and came to the main courtyard. As soon as she entered the warm pavilion, she saw a sheep through the open door on the other side, full of joy.

Xie Ce passed through the door, threw himself into her arms, turned around and pointed at the sheep, "Grandma! It's a pig!"

Mrs. Xie: "..." What?

Xie Ce raised his wrist again and showed Mrs. Xie his bracelet, "Tie a pig!"

Mrs. Xie raised her wrist, which also had a simple woven bracelet on her wrist, and said, "Yin Shi and Ce'er are playing with a red thread."

Xie Ce retorted: "Pig."

Madam Xie nodded cheerfully and followed him, "Alright, alright, Zhu."

Only then did Mrs. Xie understand what Xie Ce said, and she turned her eyes to see Mrs. Xie leaning on the heated kang, while Yin Mingyu and Xie Ce were busy tossing sheep and ropes, only she was busy.

No, she was not alone, and her husband and son.

But Mrs. Xie's housekeeping has been used for many years.

Busy must be for this family, and she is willing, but... Mrs. Xie looked at them, and for the first time, inexplicably a subtle imbalance appeared.

Mrs. Xie didn't say anything, she watched Yin Mingyu let her maid lead the sheep out, sat slowly on the kang, and asked, "As winter is about to begin, all accounts will be sent. Shi, you can go to the Western Court to help me settle the account."

a bolt from the blue.

Yin Mingyu's smile suddenly froze on his face.

Mrs. Xie smiled, "What, is there a problem?"

Yin Mingyu moved his face, adjusted his expression, and showed an embarrassed look, "Mother, I am... I am also in charge of the elder sister's dowry, you know, I am stupid in the housekeeper, and the dowry of the elder sister is different from that of mine. The house, has taught me that I have no time to take care of him..."

"Flawless?" Mrs. Xie's eyes turned to the red bracelets on Mrs. Xie and Xie Ce's wrists.

The ready-made "criminal evidence" is clearly displayed there.

Yin Mingyu's eyes followed, and she was not ashamed to be dismantled on the spot. With a thick face, she stretched out her hand to show a red hand rope in her hand, and said with a smile: "Mother, I also made a hand rope for you here, don't ask for it. I dislike my daughter-in-law's rough craftsmanship."

Mrs. Xie's mood suddenly brightened, her smile widened, "Me too?"

When Yin Mingyu saw that she liked it, he hurriedly walked over and tied it on her wrist.

Mrs. Xie raised her hand, and the red bracelet was tied to her fair wrist. Although it was not as precious and clear as the jade bracelet, it was also beautiful.

Therefore, she doesn't care that Yin Mingyu's wrist is empty.

Yin Mingyu looked at her mother-in-law's expression, raised her hand rope and said, "Don't think that this hand rope is ordinary, it also has the careful thoughts of a daughter-in-law."

"Oh?"

Yin Mingyu pointed to the golden pattern in the middle of the red hand rope, and said, "Do you think this looks like the word 'sun and moon'? If you get lost one day, you might be able to find someone with this braided rope."

Mrs. Xie identified it carefully, and Mrs. Xie lowered her head to look at it, and even Xie Ce raised her small wrist and looked at it seriously.

If she is a good embroidered mother, she must be more delicate and more like it, but this is made up by Yin Mingyu himself. The flaws do not hide the beauty, so Mrs. Xie said, "It's really similar."

Mrs. Xie smiled and nodded in agreement.

Xie Ce also nodded like the elders.

Yin Mingyu saw that they were all happy, so he asked tentatively, "Mother, do you think about the settlement, maybe discuss it again?"

"My daughter-in-law knows that she is not enough, and she needs to study hard for two more years..." Yin Mingyu saw that Mrs. Xie's expression remained unchanged, and then changed his words, "No, one year, daughter-in-law will study for another year, do you think?"

Anyway, drag it on first, and talk about it when the time comes.

Mrs. Xie smiled and didn't answer her. She fiddled with the hand rope and said casually, "Make one for Dalang, he will definitely like it."

Yin Mingyu nodded immediately, "Edit, my daughter-in-law will definitely make one for Lang Jun carefully."

Mrs. Xie nodded in satisfaction and said slowly: "As for the settlement..."

Yin Mingyu looked at Madam Xie attentively, her heart gradually raised.

Mrs. Xie smiled, "It's good that you have the will to learn, so of course I want my mother to teach you personally."

Yin Mingyu's voice was low and sticky: "Mother..."

The Xie family's account, seeing one or two, is already exhausting, so can't we discuss it again?

Mrs. Xie smiled without saying a word.

On the heated kang, Mrs. Xie continued to fall into the trap as if she saw Yin Mingyushuang beaten, and asked her great-grandson with a smile: "Ce'er, your mother will also make progress with you every day in the future, are you happy?"

Xie Ce looked back and forth, with joy in his eyes, and asked, "Cer, go to school?"

"No, your mother goes to your grandmother's class."

Xie Ce felt a little regretful, but he was not alone in reading, and he was very happy, so he rejoiced again, "Okay!"

Mrs. Xie glanced at Yin Mingyu, with a hint of confinement in her tone, and said to Xie Ce seriously: "In the future, grandmother will also leave homework for your mother to do with Ce'er, okay?"

"Okay!" Xie Ce spun around happily on the heated kang, turned around a few times, ran to Yin Mingyu, threw himself into her arms, and looked at her happily with wide eyes, "Mother!"

Yin Mingyu: "…"

Do not disturb.

Your happiness is not mine.
