MTL - The Stepmother is Unkind-Chapter 28
Wherever there is liveliness, there are many people flocking to it.
The hunting ground was full of people, it was still early, and many people who planned to go hunting had not yet entered the forest. The news that the Weiyang County Lord and Mrs. Xie Shao were going to learn about Cuju was spread by dozens of people, and it was like flying. All over hunting grounds.
Regardless of gender, age, and age, many people immediately changed their original hunting plans and turned around to go to the cuju arena.
Mrs. Xie, Mrs. Han and several other ladies had an appointment to play. It was not far to the west of the Cuju field. When the servants of the Xie family saw that the young lady had agreed to play Cuju, they hurried over and reported to Mrs. Xie.
The ladies exchanged glances, unable to speak.
And because of Mrs. Xie's recent understanding of Yin Mingyu, she naturally believed that her temperament would never take the initiative to cause trouble, so when she heard that the Yangle County Lord was embarrassing the two concubines of the Yin family first, she understood.
I just couldn't help but be a little worried, and immediately decided to go and have a look.
The Han family was the most calm, and asked the servant of the Xie family: "Is my family's fourth mother injured?"
The servant said: "It should be uninjured."
Han shi said to Madam Xie, "Second mother has a sense of proportion."
Mrs. Xie nodded slightly, and seemed to have eased, and she still kept her demeanor and went to the cuju field.
On the side of the cuju court, Yin Mingyu proposed to put the ju gate and form a team for a cuju competition.
When she proposed, she smiled calmly and had reason. "It's the first time I've come to autumn hunting. It's rare to have the opportunity to discuss with the county owner and the county owner. It's really boring to fight for nothing."
The confrontation is better, especially when so many people are watching, the Weiyang County Lord wants to win, only by pressing Yin Mingyu hard can she relieve her previous depression, so she naturally agrees.
She also specially instructed people to prepare red and blue hairbands.
At this time, Jiang Qiniang, Jiang He, who was outside the field, walked to Yin Mingyu's side and took the initiative to say, "Cousin-in-law, I'll be on the same team with you. Yin Siniang taught Ju ball to hit it earlier, which may be a little inconvenient."
Not far away, when Liu Erniang saw her, she looked a little guilty, her slender neck turned slightly to Ji Saburo outside the field, showing a little sadness.
Ji Saburo felt pity, and immediately shot Jiang Qiniang's eyes with anger.
Jiang He saw that the two of them were flirting with each other in the public, disgusted and angered, and walked directly into the arena.
"Second sister, this..." Yin Mingruo looked embarrassed.
Yin Mingyu didn't refute Jiang Qiniang's face, and said to his sister: "In this case, you should go to the side to rest first and take care of Xiao Langjun."
Yin Mingruo turned to look at Xie Ce outside the court, nodded and walked over.
Today Emperor Zhao is also going to hunt, and many officials are waiting in the middle of the mountain or at the foot of the mountain, where the view is relatively wide.
After knowing the reason, the pedantic official shook his head and sighed: "Women are competitive, which is against women's morality and detrimental to women's appearance..."
"Cough, cough..." The official beside him suddenly coughed violently.
The pedantic man also asked him, "But he ate the wind?"
Behind him, a playful male voice sounded: "Master Liu, this master is reminding you that not only walls have ears, don't be quick with words."
The pedantic official turned his head quickly, and when he saw the two behind him, his face suddenly became ugly, "Thank you, thank you, thank you..."
Xie Qin's eyes were sharp and sharp, and he said coldly, "My wife of Xie's family, how is the woman's morality and appearance, there is no need for others to say anything."
The official trembled, "Master Xie misunderstood, I didn't mean Mrs. Xie Shao..."
The man beside Xie Qin swiped his folding fan on the ground, knocked it on the palm, and said in surprise, "It's not Mrs. Xie Shao, could it be the county master of Weiyang? Mr. Liu is so courageous."
The officials suddenly sweated like rain, like mourning a concubine.
Xie Qin glanced at him indifferently and walked down the mountain.
Xie Qin's companion deliberately delayed a few steps, admiring the official's pale face, and his eyes became more interesting.
"Remote clear."
Yao Qing, that is, Chu He tsk tsk twice, just followed Xie Qin.
They did not directly approach the Cuju field, but walked up to the high platform some distance away from the crowd and looked down at the field.
Yin Mingyu raised his hand three or two times and fastened the blue hairband. The two long hairbands almost fell to his waist. When the wind blew, the hairbands fluttered with the long hair.
But unlike the flow of the headband is her slightly unfamiliar and clumsy movements.
Yin Mingyu said that she had not played Cuju for a long time and wanted to practice one or two. The Weiyang County Lord generously agreed, so she began to practice in front of so many people present.
Naturally, she had to kick during practice, and she kicked it too, but she kicked it out, only wiping a little bit, and the ball rolled slowly and slanted towards the three Weiyang county masters.
The county owner of Yangle laughed directly, "Mrs. Xie Shao's tricks are probably not as good as children, right?"
She was one point better than a child, at least she kicked farther than Xie Ce.
On the face, Yin Mingyu showed a shy smile, "I'm really not good at Cuju, if I don't play well, the county magistrate shouldn't take offense."
The county owner of Yangle pretended to be generous: "The county owner is naturally not surprised, but Mrs. Xie Shao, don't be too embarrassed."
Yin Mingrui also laughed just now, but her smile was different from that of Yangle County's, and she didn't have the anxiety of being on the field with Si Niangzi.
Hearing the words of the county head of Yangle at this time, Yin Mingrui bowed her head, and the corner of her mouth curved into a mocking arc.
Yin Mingyu is very humble, not annoyed at all, and "practices" Cuju seriously.
She will not give herself leeway, and she is used to teaching people to relax their vigilance.
When Jiang He saw her, he would stagger a step from time to time, feeling worried, walked over and asked, "Cousin-in-law, are you... okay?"
Yin Mingyu raised his head, his eyes slowly traced the body of Yangle County Lord, from top to bottom, and finally settled in the middle, and said with a calm smile: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter whether you win or lose."
Jiang He bit his lip slightly and looked at Liu Erniang unwillingly.
Outside the arena, Mrs. Xie, Mrs. Han and others came to Xie Ce's side. When Mrs. Han saw Yin Mingyu's action, her eyes flashed with amusement.
Not far from them, Yin Erlang Yin Minglin and Han Sanlang Han Jing also came to the Cuju field to watch.
Han Jing hadn't seen Yin Mingyu for a long time. Seeing that she looked so good, he felt relieved and a little sad, but both were suppressed by worry. "Second cousin is not good at Cuju, so you shouldn't force it. If you get hurt..."
Yin Minglin looked at him sideways, and suddenly sighed: "Sanlang, in fact, you don't know the second sister at all, how come..." Like?
The latter words were related to his sister's reputation. He didn't say it, but the other party should understand.
Han Jing didn't say anything, and lowered his eyes. Only when the Cuju match was about to start, did he raise his head and look at the field quietly.
Weiyang County Lord, Yangle County Lord, Liu Erniang Liuyue are the red squares, Yin Mingyu, Jiang Qiniang Jiang He, Yin Sanniang and Yin Mingrui are the blue squares, each standing on one side of the Cuju field in a triangle.
Yin Mingyu and the county master of Weiyang took the lead, and Ju Qiu was in the middle of the two, ready to get ready. With the sound of a gong, the county master of Weiyang took the lead to hook the ball.
Yin Mingyu didn't want to win or lose at this time, and he didn't want to take the ball to shoot. He was completely irregular when he grabbed the ball.
Liu Erniang, who was a little closer, hurriedly turned around and chased after her. Suddenly, a blue hairband that was almost straightened was floating by her side.
Liu Erniang took a closer look and saw that it was Yin Mingrui. She saw her rushing forward like an arrow. She had already blocked Ju Qiu first. She dribbled the ball under her feet and turned around quickly, without hesitation, she kicked the ball.
On the high platform, Chu He let out a "huh", "Why is this little leopard kicking back? Wouldn't it be closer to shoot directly into Jumen?"
Xie Qin did not answer, but instead reminded: "You are so old, don't disrespect the old and call the young lady indiscriminately."
Chu He: "...I'm only five out of twenty this year."
Xie Qin said lightly, "I am four years younger than you, and Ce'er is already two years old."
"This is not something to be proud of." Chu He opened his fan and shook it freely, "Chu someone would rather lack than waste."
Xie Qin looked at the figure running in the field intently, and after a long time he said, "No one is 'indiscriminate'."
Chu He was quiet, then he clasped his fists seriously and said, "It was me who made a blunder, and I hope Jingming is not to blame."
Xie Qin didn't care, he only said softly, "This is the reason."
Chu He didn't understand what he meant, and when he turned his head, his eyes widened slightly in shock.
It turned out that in the Cuju field, Yin Mingrui kicked back, which was beyond the expectations of the Weiyang County Lord and others, and did not respond for a while.
At this time, Yin Mingyu was already standing in the direction where the ball was shot, and with a slight jump, he blocked the ball with his body. Taking advantage of the pause between the crowd, he raised his right leg high and kicked it fiercely at the county owner of Yangle.
The spectators outside the field inhaled one after another, their eyes chasing the ball nervously.
The ball was extremely fast, and when the county owner of Yangle found it, it was too late to react, his eyes were wide open, and he froze in place.
"call out-"
Ju Qiu quickly brushed past Yangle County Lord's head at a palm-length distance, picking up the strands of hair on her cheeks.
"Boom!"
"Boom..."
Ju ball slammed heavily on the edge of Ju gate and rolled to the ground.
The tense atmosphere outside the field was relieved, and the sound of exhalation could be heard clearly even inside the field.
Yin Mingyu immediately took two steps closer and asked nervously, "County Lord, are you alright?"
Yangle County Lord slowly raised his head and looked at her in a trance.
Yin Mingyu apologized very sincerely: "County Lord, I'm really not good at Cuju, I made a mistake for a while, you don't care about it, right?"
The head of Yangle County came back to his senses, glared at her angrily, and gritted his teeth: "Mrs. Xie Shao, you had better make a mistake."
The county master of Weiyang was impatient and urged, "Don't hurry up, what's the delay?"
Yin Mingyu nodded, and the county owner of Yangle had to stop.
Both sides return to their positions and start over.
This time when the three people in Hongfang saw Yin Mingrui's speed, Liu Erniang always guarded Yin Mingrui's surroundings and hindered her.
The county owner of Yangle is subconsciously guarding against Yin Mingyu, only the county owner of Weiyang is dedicated to winning, and his eyes are full of balls.
At this time, Jiang He showed his effect, and his movements were very neat when chasing with the Weiyang County Lord.
However, the master of Weiyang County was very good at Cuju. She never let her grab the ball, and quickly approached Jumen and kicked the ball to shoot.
It's a pity that the Ju gate is very small, the pot is a big round hole, and the ball falls back when it hits the edge.
Just a little bit, the spectators exclaimed regretfully.
The county master of Weiyang did not stop, and immediately chased after him. He wanted to take the ball and shoot again, but Yin Mingyu, who was chasing after him, intercepted it first, and then took the ball to Jumen of the red side.
"Yang Le! Stop her!"
The county owner of Weiyang shouted, and the county owner of Yangle immediately stood in front of Yin Mingyu.
The two faced each other, Yin Mingyu had to dribble the ball around her, but Yin Mingyu slightly raised the corner of his mouth at Yangle County Lord to hint in advance, and in the next moment, he raised it high again without hesitation and kicked Yangle County Lord fiercely.
Yangle County Lord froze as early as when she had an unusual expression, and hurriedly dodged when Ju Qiu flew over.
She hid too quickly, her expression panicked, and her movements were a little embarrassed.
Suddenly there was a burst of laughter outside the arena, and the county owner of Yangle raised his head suspiciously, suddenly embarrassed.
The ball didn't move at all, and lay quietly on the spot, as steady as Mount Tai.
It turned out that just now, Yin Mingyu was very strong, not only the county owner of Yangle, but also the onlookers were also nervous.
But just when the county owner of Yangle was dodging, Yin Mingyu's foot rubbed the ball in a smooth arc, and it was neat and didn't touch at all.
At this time, Yin Mingyu looked at her with a look of regret, "Why did you miss it..."
The head of Yangle County: "..." Who are you asking? !
On the other side, the county master of Weiyang ran over and shouted, "Yang Le, what are you stunned for!"
Yin Mingyu, however, seemed to wake up first, and took Ju Qiu nimbly over the county owner of Yangle.
The laughter outside the venue still lingered, the county owner of Yangle was full of humiliation, his whole body was ignited by the anger of the trick, and he chased Yin Mingyu hard.
With such momentum, Yin Mingyu seemed to be a little surprised, and the movement of dribbling the ball under his feet became flustered, and he was almost robbed of the ball by the owner of Yangle County several times.
Going back and forth, every time the audience saw that Yangle County Lord was about to succeed, the ball rolled unexpectedly and unexpectedly, and their hearts were ups and downs.
On the field, Yin Mingyu repeated his old tricks and smiled at the county owner of Yangle.
I won't be fooled again, Yangle County Lord sneered, didn't dodge or dodge, and continued to intercept.
However, this time, Yin Mingyu didn't play empty.
She dribbled the ball with her left foot to the right, lifted her foot and kicked it down heavily. There was no one in front of her, but Yin Mingrui was in front of her, but the ball seemed out of control and flew towards the county magistrate of Yangle.
At a closer distance than before, rubbing the ear of Yangle County Lord, Ju Qiu hit the ground heavily, causing a burst of dust.
At that moment, his ears seemed to be scorched, and Yangle County Master subconsciously covered his ears and rubbed them.
Just a little bit, just a little bit more, and the ball will hit her head...
The others had no time to control her fear. Liu Erniang and Yin Mingrui in front went to grab the ball, and the Weiyang County Master also rushed over.
Yin Mingyu pretended to be annoyed with a sigh, leaving a perfunctory look of "no time to apologize" to the stunned Yangle County Lord, and hurriedly rushed to the main battlefield to grab the ball.
But it was precisely because of Yangle County's dazedness that it turned into two people from the red side and three people from the blue side. Yin Mingyu's side had a greater advantage, and the county owner of Weiyang and Liu Erniang couldn't get close to Ju Qiu at all.
Under the competitive spirit, Weiyang County Master became more and more anxious, and got angry at Yangle County Master: "If you can't do it, go down and change to someone else!"
Yangle County Lord returned to his senses, and was already embarrassed. When she was yelled at in front of so many people, he felt that the eyes around him were burning her.
However, she glanced around in embarrassment, only to find that her father, the Prince of Yangle, was looking at her coldly from the sidelines, and her whole body suddenly turned cold.
At this time, the county owner of Weiyang glared at her again, and the county owner of Yangle hurriedly ran. She felt a deep hatred in her heart. She didn't believe that Yin Mingyu dared to kick the ball on her!
At this time, Jiang He grabbed the ball.
With the six of them standing, the Weiyang County Lord did not give up and continued to **** the Ju ball under Jiang He's feet. Yin Mingyu and Liu Erniang were closer to the Ju gate of the red side.
Yin Mingyu's position is more convenient to get out and shoot. Yin Mingrui and her have a tacit understanding since childhood, and they understand each other's meaning with just one look, and have already run over to help her sister contain Liu Erniang.
Jiang He can just pass the ball...
But Jiang He didn't see their gesture at all, and didn't mean to spread it out. Instead, his eyes slammed, imitating Yin Mingyu, and kicking Liu Erniang fiercely.
Liu Erniang hurriedly avoided, and some people outside the venue exclaimed.
Yin Mingyu's brows wrinkled, one yardage to another, she wanted to change the occasion to vent her anger.
Maliciously hurting people on the Cuju arena should not have been right. She also responded with a lesson or two, and did not want to lead this kind of atmosphere.
Therefore, Yin Mingyu didn't plan to toss any more, kicked hard with his feet, rushed over to block Liu Erniang, and then volleyed sideways, the ball deflected and smashed towards the Yangle County Lord.
This time, Ju Qiu didn't have any deviation and hit her abdomen.
Everything was only for a split second. The moment before, everyone was still locked in the heart of Liu Erniang, who was about to be injured by the ball. At this moment, the county owner of Yangle was rushed backwards and fell to the ground.
The pain spread in an instant, and she looked at Yin Mingyu in disbelief while covering her abdomen. She really dared? !
Can bully the soft and fear the hard, who wouldn't?
And Yin Mingyu no longer gave her any look, and no longer pretended to be "not good at Cuju", jumped up to intercept the bounced ball, and raised his voice to the Weiyang County Master: "The County Master, we will win a match in a fair and honest way. Negative, how?"
The Weiyang County Lord sneered, "You must be defeated."
Yin Mingyu gave her a look of "come anyway", the wind was blowing under her feet, and she dashed to the red square gate with the ball.
Yin Mingyu did not hesitate to step forward to support Liu Erniang.
Jiang He bit his lip slightly, the anger above him dissipated, and there was some shame in his eyes, and he rushed to stop the Weiyang County Lord.
The Weiyang County Lord turned back and shouted, "Yang Le! You're not here yet!"
The Lord of Yangle County angrily patted the ground, put aside those mixed emotions, and started running again.
The boudoir lady has many restraints, and it seems that it is derogatory to put it on a woman to have fun.
Cuju is a way for them to gallop openly and without any scruples. Yin Mingyu took the third lady and the fourth lady to run freely in their small yard since she was a child.
The opponent's interception, Yin Mingyu swiftly bypassed, ran unstoppably in front of Hong Fangju's door, raised his foot sideways, and shot.
"Come in!"
Yin Mingyu landed on both feet, turned back and smiled, the blue hair band and hair fluttered and danced in the air, it was full of vitality.
On the high platform, Xie Qin's heart suddenly moved, and before he could think about it, he was interrupted by the loud cheers of the little ladies.
"it is good!"
"Ah ah ah - Xie Shao... Yin Erniang!"
The voices of the little ladies were not concealed at all. Anyway, in the crowd, everyone was like this. They were not afraid of being pulled and said "no rules", and they could shout to their heart's content.
In fact, the young gentlemen did not give in too much. In this situation, no one really looked at them with a strange color.
Everyone was infected, even Xie Ce's little doll, who clearly didn't understand, sat in the nurse's arms and clapped and called.
The Weiyang County Lord refused to accept it and stared at Yin Mingyu, "Come again!"
Yin Mingyu hooked his lips, "Accompany me."
The enthusiasm from outside the field spread to the field, Yin Mingyu turned his eyes to the excited ladies outside the field, and suddenly asked Weiyang County Master: "Why don't you add more people?"
Weiyang County Lord looked over, "Whatever, I will never lose."
Yin Mingyu laughed and waved his arms outside the field: "The eight-man team! Which lady is coming?"
When the little ladies heard it, they competed to respond.
