During the day, the children were tired from running. Yin Shu was trying to endure the sleepiness during dinner. The younger Yin Tangyu and Xie Ce couldn't stand it at all.

Nanny Tong fed Xie Ce, and a spoonful of food was fed into her mouth. At first, his eyes seemed to be open, but then his head gradually crooked. He wanted to open his eyes, but he couldn't resist the sleepiness, so he closed them completely. .

A mouthful of rice is in his mouth, and his small mouth is still moving and mechanically chewing rice in his sleep, looking very funny.

Yin Tangyu is similar, but his body is slanted, his head will twitch, and then he sits up and looks around in a daze.

Yin's elders were amused when they looked at them like this, and the mother-in-law Han hurried the nurses to take them to sleep after laughing.

Comparing them with their loving-kindness, Yin Mingyu only saw joy and eating and drinking on his own, but Xie Qin, if it wasn't for the father and son, who looked so alike, they would be like a stepfather.

The men probably thought it was normal, and the Yin family father and son continued to push the cups and change the cups very naturally, and they didn't care about Xie Qin's lack of words, which was prudent in their eyes.

For thousands of years, it has been right and proper that men lead outside and women lead inside. A man with the ability will go to make contributions and protect his family. Which one would waste his time in the inner house?

The inner house should be in charge of the woman, and the child should be a woman's concern. If the inner house is not repaired, the child will not be good, so it is good to scold the woman.

Han's accustomed to it, her expression is light, but she loves her grandson. She was a little dissatisfied with Yin Mingyu and Xie Qin, but seeing the men through the screen, now she looks at Yin Mingyu, and it is a lot more pleasing to the eye.

After the meal, everyone parted.

Yin Mingyu didn't live in the courtyard alone, so naturally she couldn't go back to live with Xie Qin, so the Han family arranged a courtyard for them. But Yin Mingyu went home and wanted to sleep with his sisters, so he told Xie Qin.

Xie Qin followed her and said to her: "I need to go to Dianmao early tomorrow. I will pick you up and Ce'er after I leave my job. The guards in the house will stay at Yin's house and wait. If you have something to do, send them."

Yin Mingyu really has something to do, "I plan to take Sanniang and Siniang out tomorrow."

Xie Qin nodded, "I will give an order later, so as not to delay your time tomorrow."

Yin Mingyu thanked him and left.

"Second mother."

Yin Mingyu stopped and looked at him suspiciously.

"Is the money enough?" Xie Qin lowered his eyes slightly and said calmly, "I will keep the private seal. If it is not enough, I will teach the guards to go back to the house and get it from my account."

As he spoke, he raised his hand and took out a bag from his sleeve.

The Xie family gave twenty-two months of money each month, and Yin Mingyu politely declined before he handed it over: "Langjun, there is no need, the money is enough."

Xie Qin paused for a moment, and withdrew the hand holding the brocade bag, then put it back into his sleeve, and said lightly, "If that's the case, I don't have much to do."

He seemed to have some emotions, but it was very inconspicuous. Yin Mingyu was too lazy to explore, and thanked him again, then said goodbye to him, and first went to find Yin Mingrui and Yin Mingruo who were waiting for her in the distance.

In the evening, the three sisters all lived in Yin Mingrui's house. Yin Mingyu said that he would take the two out, and he had already asked his mother Han for instructions for the two. As for where to go and what to do, she sold it.

Generally speaking, boudoir women rarely have the opportunity to go out unless they are invited or go out with their elders, or if they are favored at home.

Yin Mingrui and Yin Mingruo just heard that they were going to go out, and they were three sisters, so they couldn't fall asleep with excitement, and they didn't care.

Yin Mingrui was even more overjoyed and said, "In this way, it's also a good thing for the second sister to marry."

Yin Mingyu laughed, "You're getting faster."

Yin Mingrui giggled happily, pulling Yin Mingruo to get excited together.

Yin Mingyu quickly fell asleep. The two of them couldn't fall asleep for a long time. They whispered a lot of whispers. They didn't stop until they noticed that they were getting more and more crowded, and they were almost sticking together.

Yin Mingrui sighed, "How can Brother Xie endure this sleeping position of the second sister?"

Yin Mingruo hesitated, "Maybe Xie's bed is bigger?"

Both of them fell silent. Can they not know how big the dowry bed is? Yin Mingyu's sleeping image, I'm afraid I have to tie it up.

On the contrary, she looks soft, but in fact, she does her own way, and she won't be so wronged at all, she can only be endured by others.

After a long time, Yin Mingrui said "sleep", and then the two sisters "weak and pitiful" but hugged each other with a smile on their lips and fell asleep.

On the second day, the three sisters left together from their eldest mother, Mrs. Han, and stepped out of the Yin family's house refreshed.

One of Yin Mingyu's companions, Ding Er, was already waiting beside the carriage. Jin'er exchanged a few words with him, and the carriage slowly moved westward.

Yin Mingrui and Yin Mingruo were sitting in the carriage of the Xie family, and they were a little restless. When Yin Mingyu saw it, he said, "I won't blame you for being unruly, you don't have to be too restrained."

As soon as she finished speaking, Yin Mingrui and Yin Mingruo slightly opened the curtain on the carriage window, looked outside carefully through the curtain, their eyes were burning, as if they wanted to imprint everything they saw into their hearts.

Yin Mingyu lowered his eyes and drank tea, just noticed that there was a slap-sized box on the square table than yesterday, put down the teacup and opened it.

Inside is a seal.

Yin Mingyu picked it up, and the four characters "Xie Shijingming" on the seal were vigorous, powerful, upright and dignified, and people could immediately imagine the owner of the seal.

But she really couldn't use it, and she didn't need to use it, so she put it back in the wooden box, closed the lid, and put it on the table again.

Yin Mingrui and Yin Mingruo, who were focusing on her actions outside the carriage, didn't notice them at all.

The carriage slowly drove into the Yanshou Square on the east side of the West City, and went from north to south along the cross street to a house in the east of the south gate, and stopped.

Accompanying Fang Ding Er to knock on the door, Yin Mingrui and Yin Mingruo were puzzled and turned back and asked, "Second sister, what are you doing?"

Yin Mingyu raised the corners of his lips, "Naturally, I'm looking at the house."

"Look at the house?"

Of course, looking at a house is to buy.

Yin Mingyu looked out the car window sideways, even though it is very likely that she will stay in Xie's house all her life, but there is a property that belongs to her completely, which is her obsession.

Ding Er had made an agreement with the head of the household in advance, knocked on the door to reveal his intention, and the other party went in to report, and soon opened the door to welcome them in.

Yin Mingyu took the curtain cap from Jin'er and handed it to the two of them. After they were put on, they got off the carriage together.

The people of the Central Plains had experienced wars and turmoil for a long time, and there were many turbulences in the early days of the founding of Da Ye, but it gradually stabilized after Emperor Zhao ascended the throne.

The head of the household is just an ordinary businessman. He is in his fifties, but has a son who is an official, and it is extremely difficult to return to Beijing.

At his age, he has experienced turbulent times, and he has endured many hardships to save his current family business, and he is most afraid of changes.

Originally, Yin Mingyu's **** was looking for a suitable house on his behalf, and he did not report his identity when negotiating the price, but the head of the household could see that he was an unusual servant.

Now that he saw the carriage of the Xie family, and then looked at Yin Mingyu and the three behind them, they saw that they were the maidservants and guards who were not angry and self-righteous.

"Please come in." The tone was extremely humble.

Yin Mingyu whispered from behind the hood: "Trouble." His attitude was not arrogant at all.

This is a house with three entrances. Entering the gate is the shadow wall, and passing through the screen door is the outer courtyard.

The outer courtyard is probably bigger than their corner courtyard in Yin's house, and before entering the second gate, you can see the green bamboos swaying in the wind. Natural and rustic.

There is a green brick road in the courtyard, and there is a corridor on the side of the courtyard. Everyone steps on the green brick road, walks into it, smells the fragrance of bamboo, and has a picture in their minds—

Three or five relatives and friends were drinking and chatting under the bamboo, all with relaxed smiles on their faces.

Yin Mingyu turned his head and asked with a smile, "Siniang, how are you?"

Bamboo is evergreen in all seasons, Yin Mingruo is immersed in this charm and nodded lightly, "Excellent..."

The backyard of the main house is ordinary, not better than the Yin family, and even less than the Xie family. Yin Mingyu only glanced at it, and took someone to say goodbye to the head of the household.

Then go to the second family, a three-entry house located in the northwest corner of Guangdefang.

The style of this house is different from the previous one. Da Ye is influenced by Hu Feng, and many houses have an open and atmospheric style. This family courtyard is paved with slate to form a straight cross road, dividing the courtyard into four, and the four corners are different. There are rockeries and osmanthus trees. It is very clear at a glance.

Yin Mingrui prefers this style, and Yin Mingyu also thinks it is good. When they returned to the carriage, the two discussed a few words, and they were more interested in what landscape to replace in certain places in the courtyard.

It took a lot of time to see these two. Near noon, Yin Mingyu ordered the carriage to go to the West City to find a good restaurant, and invited the two sisters to the restaurant for lunch.

After dinner, I didn't plan to look at the house in the afternoon. Yin Mingyu only planned to take the two girls around the West Market. When he stepped out of the restaurant, a few more carriages came. The first one had the regulations and the family emblem on the carriage. The emblem is royalty.

The coachman of the Xie family held the carriage slightly forward, giving way to the middle position.

The extremely gorgeous carriage slowly stopped, and after a while, a handsome man stepped out of the carriage, and then stretched out his hand into the carriage. woman comes out.

She didn't wear a hat, and her delicate and beautiful face was fully exposed in front of people, and the pedestrians around her all looked at her.

Yin Mingyu's eyes flashed, and his mind moved slightly. Such a flamboyant royal woman, there is only one person in Beijing—the eldest daughter of Chengwang, Qin Yan, the head of Weiyang County.

The arrogant gaze of the Weiyang County Lord stopped in the carriage of the Xie family, and he casually turned to Yin Mingyu and the three who were covered with hoods, and raised the corners of his mouth a little, jokingly said, "Could it be that it's Yin Erniang?"

The wind slightly blew the veil on the curtain, Yin Mingyu and Weiyang County Lord looked at each other, and after a moment, he raised his hand and took off his hat, and bowed politely: "I have seen the County Lord."

Weiyang County Lord let go of Junxiu Langjun's hand and approached Yin Mingyu.

Yin Mingrui and Yin Mingruo stood at the back, holding their hats nervously.

Yin Mingyu's face was calm, and he stood firmly on the spot until the Weiyang County Lord stopped in front of her more than an inch, and did not take a half step back.

Weiyang County Lord snorted coldly, "Second Lady Yin really has the courage~"

Yin Mingyu's tone was respectful, "The county lord is wrong, and I don't dare to be."

The county master of Weiyang looked at her and sneered, "It's really annoying to be pretentious."

Afterwards, she raised her chin at Yin Mingyu and provocatively said: "The previous invitation, Yin Er Niang, refused to prepare for marriage, Qiu Hunting can't hide anymore, right? Why don't we play together?"

Yin Mingyu politely refused: "The county master forgive me, Mingyu is not good at riding and shooting."

The Princess of Weiyang glanced at Yin Mingrui and Yin Mingruo behind her, and asked in a leisurely manner, "Are these two..."

Yin Mingrui and Yin Mingruo bowed and saluted again, and Yin Mingyu replied, "My sister."

"So that's the case." Weiyang County Lord understood, raised his eyebrows and said meaningfully, "Yin Er Niang, don't refuse too early, this County Lord will wait and see..."

After she finished speaking, she ignored Yin Mingyu and others, and stepped into the restaurant arrogantly with Jun Xiu Lang Jun and a group of attendants.

Yin Mingyu looked at her back and sighed lazily: trouble...
