The Stepmother is Unkind - Chapter 106

Yin Mingyu will go back to the prefecture in the evening when she has had enough fun. Xie Qin’s time with her is not much different from before, so she has no feelings from Xie Ce at all.

And from time to time they have a tasteful exchange, and they both have something to gain from each other.

Therefore, the joys and sorrows of the father and son are not the same.

However, with Yin Mingyu’s understanding, Xie Qin was able to maintain his majesty in front of his son, proving that his words in Yin Mingyu’s place were of great weight.

Xie Ce was overjoyed, and hugged his father’s leg with his little hand, “Father is so nice!”

Xie Qin looked at him condescendingly, and told him calmly, “But the Cuju competition will be postponed for a while.”

Xie Ce: “…”

White was happy.

Xie Ce was a little snob, so he immediately relaxed his embrace and sighed, “Ah—it’s not easy for my father…”

Xie Qin: “…”

This turned out to be his son…

Xie Qin held his back and tore Xie Ce from his leg, expressionlessly said: “Since you know that being a father is not easy, don’t ask me again in the future.”

Xie Ce’s eyes rolled round and round, and he called out flatteringly, “Father~”

Xie Qin refused his flattery, “Xie Ce, it’s time for you to study with Mr.

When his mother was away, Xie Ce turned silently towards his father who did not have much desire to show.

Xie Qin looked at his small figure with some thought.

And Yin Mingyu looked at these little ladies in the state city in the new house, and suddenly had a thought. When he returned to the state office in the afternoon, he mentioned to Xie Qin: “I heard you say that the Butterfly Temple is full of incense and the surrounding scenery is very beautiful. There are many people and it is lively and convenient, how about I invite those little ladies to go to the Butterfly Valley together?”

Xie Qin said: “If you and I go to Butterfly Valley, we can’t go back and forth that day, leaving Ce’er and a child alone in the prefecture, I’m really worried, why don’t we go with him?”

They could entrust Chu He or Mrs. Qi to take care of them, but Xie Ce, a child, has never left the elders’ side.

Yin Mingyu and Xie Qin looked at each other. The more people they accompanied, the more guards they could bring. The two of them were coincidental.

Since the tossing, simply toss a little bigger, it is more boring to play small.

Yin Mingyu said: “When I go to the Jiedu envoy tomorrow, I will ask Mrs. Qi if she is willing to travel with her.”

As she planned, when she sent Xie Ce over the next day, she invited Mrs. Qi: “Auntie, my righteous granddaughter intends to go to the Butterfly Valley to formally discuss the marriage, so she sent a letter to invite us. I heard that the Butterfly Valley has a very beautiful scenery. Are you interested in going with us?”

After all these days, Mrs. Qi didn’t hide her boldness in front of Yin Mingyu. Since she was a little interested, she asked directly, “Are you going to intervene?”

The marriage still needs to be negotiated. Everyone knows what happened to the previous marriage certificate, but it’s just a decoration of peace.

It is not clear whether Qi Jiedu’s position is to turn to Xie Qin, Yin Mingyu naturally does not know everything, and only says with a smile: “Before, my husband said that the Butterfly Valley is beautiful, I have not been there yet, but I have to go there once. It’s inconvenient to travel, and I don’t think I will go there again, so I plan to ask if I can hold the wedding in the state city.”

“After all, the marriage was decided under the witness of the people of the prefecture city. It must be the icing on the cake to be able to accept the blessings of the people of the whole prefecture city.”

Mrs. Qi couldn’t see whether she believed her words, she just said casually: “Zhoucheng is indeed more convenient.”

“Have you been to Butterfly Valley?” Yin Mingyu didn’t focus on the discussion of marriage, but only talked about the scenery of Butterfly Valley, “When I was in the future, I received a painting of “Butterfly Valley” by Lang Jun, and I yearned for it. “

Mrs. Qi shook her head and said with a little regret: “No, I stay in the mansion most of the time, only when my eldest wife got married and left Lingnan.”

Yin Mingyu has lived like Mrs. Qi, and can enjoy herself, but she always has to go out to play when she has a chance, so she doesn’t hesitate to make some troubles.

Although the more I get to know Mrs. Qi, the less she thinks she is the kind of person who can stay with her, but Yin Mingyu can’t point fingers directly, only saying to himself, “I’m not afraid of your jokes, I really can’t be considered stable, the old lady in my family often says that I am a fun-loving person. It’s also because of the playfulness that I have only walked for more than eight months from north to south.”

Mrs. Qi smiled and sighed: “I see that you have a good temperament, you know the priorities, and you have a leisurely mood.”

“Otherwise, what can we do? It’s said that the husband and wife are one. How many men are suppressing that women are not allowed to intervene too much. When they turn their heads, they say that the women in the back house are shallow.”

“Which woman can’t be a housekeeper or have children, she has to do that differently.”

Yin Mingyu didn’t name anyone, just to see what people think.

And she is not open to her mouth. Yin Mingyu believes that when they return to Beijing, she will definitely have more initiative in the Xie family.

At this time, Xie Ce ran over between martial arts practice and said to his mother that he wanted to drink water.

Yin Mingyu poured a glass for him, and then said embarrassedly to Mrs. Qi: “Look at me, I talk a lot, I got an axe in front of you.”

Mrs. Qi said: “You are so transparent, how can you be the axe?”

Yin Mingyu said with a smile: “I just wanted to ask if you would like to go to play together, and I would like to invite more young ladies to go out and enjoy the flowers together. Lang Jun said that he would also bring Xiao Lang Jun to play together.”

Xie Ce was drinking from a cup in both hands, and quietly pricked up his ears to listen. When he heard something about him, his face instantly brightened, and he asked, “Am I going too?”

Yin Mingyu nodded, “Since I promised you, I can’t go back.”

Xie Ce wanted to hug her, but he took a step forward and realized that he was still holding a water glass. The water swayed out, he drank it all quickly, wiped his hands again, and then threw himself on Yin Mingyu’s leg.

If it is an ordinary adult, such a series of actions will break the emotions, but the child is very comfortable, still waiting to pick up the previous emotions, and praises without hesitation: “Mother is so good!”

And Yin Mingyu is not a tender person. He grabbed Xie Ce’s back and lifted him away, and said in disgust, “Look at your gray body, don’t rub against me.”

Xie Ce quit, and wanted to rub against her, but when he was pushed away, he rushed from elsewhere, running in circles around her, waiting for an opportunity to get close.

Yin Mingyu taught him to turn his eyes dizzy, stretched out his hand to hold the top of his head, and manually kept his distance.

Xie Ce stretched out his hand so hard that he couldn’t reach it, but he was not angry, he always smiled, and at first glance, he looked like a very good-tempered child.

Mrs. Qi looked at their playful intimacy, her eyes flashed with thoughts, and with a long sigh, she said, “I’ll go with you, too. I’ll come back to Lingnan, and I can’t have only the impression of this world.”

Yin Mingyu smiled, “Auntie, that’s it.”

Later, Xie Qin rarely had free time, so he came to pick up Yin Mingyu and Xie Ce in person, and naturally he wanted to see the envoy Qi Jiedu.

Mrs. Qi taught Xie Qin’s wife to be more and more wild, and Qi Jiedu didn’t look good when he saw him, “I originally thought that Xie Qin was very strict, but I didn’t expect to wait for me here…”

Xie Qin knew that he had to pretend he didn’t know, “Why did the envoy Qi Jiedu say this?”

The more Qi Jiedu looked at him now, the more sinister he felt, and he sneered coldly, saying: “Now the whole city knows that the two families are related, you are going to pull me on your boat no matter what, right? Your wife also It caused my wife to stay away from home all day…”

His tone became more and more resentful, all of which were directed at Xie Qin.

It’s not very authentic, Xie Qin can’t deny it, but he doesn’t agree with Qi Jiedushi’s last sentence.

“As far as Xiaguan knows, Mrs. Xiaguan has only invited Mrs. twice.” Xie Qin said with a very serious expression, “Mrs. Xiaguan is not in the prefecture all day, but Xiaguan is not dissatisfied.”

Being thicker-skinned, it is true that he can do everything he can, so Xie Qin paused for a while, and because he was still a little bit unable to let go, he persuaded with a slightly stern face: “As a man, you need to be more generous… Uncle .”

Qi Jiedu: “…”

uncle? !

As soon as Xie Qin opened his mouth, the burden in his heart dissipated, and there was no turbulence on his face when he spoke, and every sentence was called “Uncle” respectfully.

Qi Jiedu suffered from a heart attack, and his face was as deep as ink.

Usually when Qi Jiedu was busy with his envoys, Yin Mingyu didn’t have to say goodbye to him when he was not in the mansion. Today, I happened to know that he was there and was talking to Xie Qin, so Mrs. Qi came to the front yard with Yin Mingyu and Xie Ce.

The atmosphere between the two was rather subtle, and it seemed a little stiff. Both Mrs. Qi and Yin Mingyu were a little strange.

After the Xie family left, Mrs. Qi asked Qi Jiedu.

At first, the envoy Qi Jiedu didn’t say anything, but after Mrs. Qi’s impatience repeatedly urged her to become irritable, the envoy Qi Jiedu said the reason.

Mrs. Qi imagined Xie Qin’s appearance like a noble son of a noble family, and suddenly burst out laughing.

On the other hand, Yin Mingyu also learned what happened from Xie Qin’s mouth, and he couldn’t help laughing when he saw that he was still sitting upright like a pine tree on the carriage.

When Qi Jiedu and his wife met them, it was really unfortunate.

However, Mrs. Shishi added the name of Mrs. Qi Jiedushi, and when Yin Mingyu invited the little ladies to visit the Butterfly Valley together, all the parents did not object. The young and unmarried Lang Jun came in, and he called it “caring for sisters”.

Yin Mingyu planned to develop Cuju in Lingnan, and he accepted the little gentlemen very smoothly, but he threw them all to Xie Qin and did not give them a chance to get close to the little ladies.

She is very wicked, and when she thinks of these young and young girls who can only stare at each other from a distance, but can’t get close, she gives birth to some superficial happiness.

And most of those young gentlemen are studying, and Xie Qin is the prefect, and these young students from a good family background are most likely to be his first batch of political achievements.

The speed of the road was not fast, so Xie Qin led the princes on horseback to accompany them on horseback, and then compared the little princes.

The students in Nanyue are extremely weak and have no famous teachers to teach. Even if Xie Qin rectifies the school, it is only slightly better than before. The best students of the state school go out of Lingnan, and they will not be able to stand out in Jiangnan and the capital where the style of study is strong.

In the 30 years of this dynasty, only a handful of jinshi came out of one state in South Vietnam…

Educating people is not something that happens overnight.

Xie Qin was a serious person and considered the progress of the students in South Vietnam. He was actually quite tolerant towards these young gentlemen, and he was less strict than one-fifth of the time when he was instructing Han Jing at the beginning.

However, he is a prefect, he is dignified and full of knowledge, and he comes at his fingertips. The little princes did not feel his tolerance at all. One by one, all of them were nervous and blank. Think of the little girls.

Yin Mingyu looked forward from the carriage window, and saw that these young gentlemen occasionally turned their faces to the side, all looking tense, even pale and sweaty, so he watched with more interest.

Xie Ce loved to learn from her very much, and also stuck his head out to look forward, but he didn’t know what his mother was laughing at, so he scratched his head in confusion.

Yin Mingyu is rare and kind, smiling without saying a word.

She is from the past, but those little gentlemen are Xie Ce’s future, so don’t scare him.

Mrs. Qi was riding in a carriage with their mother and son. Through the carriage window, she could only see the thin back of a young man, with a small piece of sweat on his back.

Immediately, she looked towards the front of the carriage, as if she could see Xie Qin through the carriage door.

Nan Ke had already brought his clansmen to wait for them on the road that must pass. Because the governor and his wife were waiting for them, none of the Nanmeng clan dared to complain.

After waiting for half an hour, someone finally came to the road in the direction of Zhoucheng.

Nan Ke’s face was overjoyed, and he went forward a segment, and then he saw that the team was moving forward. The guards at the head of the team had already arrived in front of them, but the tail of the team still did not appear. He couldn’t help being more and more surprised, and his beautiful eyes gradually opened. to the limit.

The Nan Patriarch and the clansmen around her did not expect such a big battle between the Inspector and the Inspector’s wife, and they couldn’t close their mouths in shock.

More than a hundred guards from the Xie family, the entourage of other families, and the soldiers arranged by the envoy Qi Jiedu to protect Mrs. Qi formed such a team.

Xie Qin and a group of young gentlemen rode in front of the team on horseback, facing Nanke and the Nanmeng people.

The young gentlemen were amazed at Nan Ke’s face, Xie Qin was very calm, and only instructed Nan Ke lightly: “Just hurry on the road as usual, you don’t have to meet on the road.”

Nan Ke returned to his senses, ignoring those young gentlemen who were obsessed with her appearance. He first bowed his hands to Xie Qin, and then to Yin Mingyu, who was showing his face in the wide carriage window behind him, and then he stepped onto the horse neatly. Take the tribesmen to lead the way in front of the convoy.

But it has not been seen for some time, and her whole temperament has undergone earth-shaking changes.

In the past, when you first saw Nan Ke, you must be amazed by her beauty, but now she is sassy and even has the majesty and self-confidence of the patriarch.

“It’s a pity that this girl has a good momentum, and she matches the lustful patriarch of the barbarian tribe…” Madam Qi sighed casually.

Yin Mingyu put his arms on the carriage window, leaning on his chin to look at Nan Ke in front of him. Hearing Mrs. Qi’s words, he was actually proud and proud.

As for the patriarch of the barbarian race, time is running out…

Their convoy was too large. A few miles away from the Butterfly Valley, the barbarians and the Ruins in the Butterfly Valley got the news. Patriarch Hu was immersed in the joy of seeing the little beauty, but Patriarch Fan was like a formidable enemy.

The biggest thing in Butterfly Valley today is that the Nanmeng clan came to discuss their relatives. They didn’t get any other news. When the patriarch Fan heard the report that there were soldiers, he was guilty and confused, so he taught the clan people to be on guard quietly and fight back at any time.

As time went on, Patriarch Fan became more and more anxious. Seeing that Patriarch Hu didn’t care about it at all, he couldn’t help but said, “If we really send troops to attack us, we can’t just capture them if we die. You still miss the beauty?”

Patriarch Hu said: “I think you are thinking too much. How can you send troops for no reason? Even if you send troops, you should have come in long ago, why would you be slow?”

What he said made sense, Clan Chief Fan felt a little at ease, but when he thought that he was appeased by this mindless Clan Chief Hu, and the reason for his reasoning was probably for the sake of beauty, he couldn’t help but get angry.

Finally, in the midst of Patriarch Fan’s all kinds of anxiety, the person who reported the report for the second time came over and gave a more detailed description. It was not like sending troops to encircle and suppress it at all. Then he calmed down and thought about who it was.

At this moment, the head of Hu San suddenly said, “Could it be the Inspector and the Inspector’s wife?”

As soon as he said this, Patriarch Hu and the father and son of the Fan family thought it was very possible, especially the father and son of the Fan family, when they exchanged glances, they all thought that if Xie Qin, the prefect, came, he might be involved in the marriage of the barbarians and Nanmeng.

If the barbarians and the prefects got closer, it would be unfavorable for them. The father and son carried the barbarians behind their backs and quietly discussed countermeasures.

When the motorcade finally drove into the Butterfly Valley, the people who were offering incense at the Butterfly Immortal Temple were frightened and did not dare to act rashly. They crowded together and watched them in fear.

Xie Qin sent guards to appease him, then turned around and told Yin Mingyu and the others to get off the carriage.

The carriages parked in front of the temple in a row, and there were ten carriages in line before continuing to the second row at the back. It can be seen that the place is wide.

Yin Mingyu walked down first, first saw the imposing Die Immortal Temple, and then noticed the extremely wide flat ground, and couldn’t help but admire: “It’s really a good place for Cuju…”

Mrs. Qi came down later, and when she heard her words, she was finally convinced of her playfulness, and said helplessly: “You really think about Cuju all the time, not to mention that this is someone else’s place, where did you get the ball?”

Yin Mingyu was really ready, and waved his hand to teach the maid to take the ball.

After a while, Jin’er and Yin’er stood in front of Mrs. Qi with a ball in one hand.

Yin Mingyu not only prepared, but also brought enough spare balls. If one is broken, there is another one, and if one is broken, there will be a third and fourth.

Mrs. Qi: “…”

She still felt that it was inappropriate to play Cuju in other people’s places.

Not only was she so speechless, the other little ladies also looked at each other when they saw Ju Qiu, and then looked at the surrounding environment and people, and they couldn’t help but resist in front of the crowd.

Patriarch Hu, Patriarch Fan, and the others rushed over at this time. When they first saw what could be said to be a mighty team, they were all stagnant, and then they returned to normal.

Neither of the two clans thought that not only the governor and his wife would come, but also the wife of Jiedu envoy, and so many younger generations from various families in the prefectures.

And Patriarch Fan was like a big enemy before, and thinking back now, he couldn’t help but curse in his heart: They are idle and sick!

But on the face, you still have to smile and be respectful.

Patriarch Hu was full of eyes and only Nan Ke, staring straight at Nan Ke, no doubt about his lust.

Hu San’s boss reminded him and entertained on his behalf, so that he was barely ashamed.

Yin Mingyu looked at the two clansmen, especially the father and son of the Fan family.

She is a very cautious person, and fifty-five thousand taels is not enough to wipe out their vain murder.

Butterfly Valley and Butterfly Immortal Temple are very famous, and there are even tourists who come from far away from Lingnan. In order to receive tourists from afar to offer incense and play, they built a special inn, which is located in the flower forest in the west of Butterfly Valley. middle.

Mrs. Qi Jiedu came only for fun, and did not intend to get involved in the marriage between the two tribes, so she ignored the invitations of the barbarians and the quack tribes and proposed to go to the inn first.

Yin Mingyu and Xie Qin also took Xiao Langjun and the little ladies with her to settle down first.

Seeing this, Nan Ke also said softly to the Hu clan chief: “Excuse me, let us settle down first and visit the barbarians later.”

She has indeed changed, and she can smile at the fat-brained Patriarch Hu.

Patriarch Hu taught her to be fascinated, and there was nothing wrong with that look, and she even wished she could live directly in the barbarian tribe and live on his couch.

Seeing him like this, the head of Hu San almost couldn’t hide the depression and dissatisfaction in his eyes.

When Yin Mingyu deliberately paid attention to one person, he became extremely sensitive to that person’s emotions. His eyes swept back and forth between Patriarch Hu and the head of Hu San, and he counted them.

However, she saw Xie Qin’s calm expression, and knew that he had already cared about it, so she ignored it and concentrated on enjoying the scenery.

In the previous painting, I could only see a corner, but now I am in the sea of ​​flowers, which is extremely dreamy. Not only Yin Mingyu, Madam Qi, Xiao Langjun, who taught Xie Qin to fight the wilted, and the little ladies who were already full of interest, were all immersed in it. in this view.

Even the little Xie Ce stretched out a small hand to pick up the petals that were blown off by the wind.

His hands are small, it is extremely difficult to catch, and he is stubborn.

On the other hand, Xie Qin did nothing, just walked under the tree, and crimson petals fell on his shoulders and hair, which was very popular.

He was already extremely handsome, but now, under this sea of ​​flowers, he was more like a fairy. The little ladies couldn’t help but look at him, but when they looked at the governor, they would look at Yin Mingyu with a guilty conscience in the next moment, and try their best to control it again. Sechin.

Everyone has a love for beauty, and Yin Mingyu doesn’t mind it at all. She even looks at Xie Qin and Nan Ke herself. This trip is not in vain, right? The beautiful scenery is indispensable.”

Mrs. Qi: “…”

But… the old orange peel, which is relative every day, is indeed incomparable to the handsome governor and the stunning Nanmeng beauty.

Xie Ce noticed the petals on his father’s body and said quickly, “Father! Don’t move.”

Xie Qin looked down at him, the petals on his head slipped. He subconsciously reached out to catch it, and the petals landed firmly in his palm.

Xie Ce tugged at his father’s hem and said carefully, “Father, squat down, slowly…”

Xie Qin did not squat down as he said, and asked lightly, “Let’s explain the reason first.”

Xie Ce raised his finger to his shoulder, “There are petals, father, I want them.”

Xie Qin turned his head and saw that there was indeed a petal on his shoulder, he twisted his fingers, took it off, and handed it to Xie Ce.

Xie Ce took it, didn’t leave, pointed to the petal in his hand, and begged, “Father, I want it too.”

Xie Qin glanced at Yin Mingyu, and in the end still spread out his palm and handed it to Xie Ce.

As soon as Xie Ce got it, he turned around and ran to Yin Mingyu and Mrs. Qi happily. As soon as he stopped in front of them, he opened his two small hands and said crisply: “For mother, for grandmother Qi, Ce’er likes you the most. .”

Mrs. Qi immediately went on happily, hugged him and moved: “Ce’er is really well-behaved and filial, and she thinks of Grandma Qi in everything she gets.”

Yin Mingyu also accepted Xie Ce’s petals. Although he didn’t say anything, he said in his heart: If you grow up like this, you will definitely be very fond of the little ladies.

Only Xie Qin was caught off guard by his son borrowing flowers to offer Buddha, and was speechless.
