Yin Family, West Corner Courtyard—

The third lady Yin Mingrui and the fourth lady Yin Mingruo were sitting in Yin Mingyu's unmarried boudoir, both with a little blue and black eyes and red blood in their eyes, and their expressions were lost.

"Even the **** are gone, the second sister moved it very cleanly..."

Yin Mingruo looked around and nodded lowly.

Yin Mingrui: "I used to be with me without realizing it, but now this house is really empty..."

The two of them took a deep breath at the same time, and then sighed out, "Ah—"

"Huh? What is that?"

Yin Mingruo pointed to the edge of the bed, Yin Mingrui looked in the direction of her finger, and saw a square wooden box on the square cabinet, covered with a red square, very conspicuous in the empty room.

The two went over, Yin Mingrui tore off the red square scarf, pinched the copper lock on the wooden box, and lifted the lid of the box.

The wooden box was also covered with red silk cloth. On the silk cloth lay two palm-sized mahogany swords. Each of the sword hilts was tied with a bulging purse, and a piece of paper was pressed under the purse.

The two girls looked at each other, took out the paper, and there were a few words on it—

one person.

Signed Yin Mingyu.

Yin Mingrui picked up one of the peach wood swords and the purse, and as soon as the purse tentacled, she felt the weight and dull friction and collision.

"Like copper coins?"

Yin Mingruo also picked up the other one, opened the purse, and it turned out to be copper coins.

She looked blank, "Second sister, what does this mean?"

Yin Mingrui was also inexplicable, guessing randomly, "Could it be to make up for our New Year's money?"

"Probably not."

Yin Mingrui struggled for a moment, then simply said: "Anyway, she is so frugal, it is very difficult to take out money, give it to us, and accept it."

"Although the second sister is frugal, she has never been stingy when she gets something to eat." Yin Mingruo cherished the wooden sword and purse, "We are just unloved prostitutes. Take care, how can it be so easy."

The Han family is already a great first-mother, but she doesn't care too much about the prostitutes. The three of them accompany each other, or Yin Mingyu accompanies them to grow up.

She may be lazy or play tricks, but whenever the two of them are looking for her, she will always help them find a solution.

Neither of them dared to imagine how they would have been without their second sister during the years of growing up, so after she left, they would be so at a loss.

"I don't know how the second sister is doing at Xie's house?"

Yin Mingruo looked worried, "Thanks... my brother-in-law looked so indifferent, in case the second sister is not good..."

Yin Mingrui couldn't say anything good about Xie Qin either, so she frowned: "Listen to my aunt, the eldest sister came back several times before and came out of her mother's house, and she seemed to be in a bad mood. Maybe the husband and wife are not on good terms..."

At this point, she stopped.

The two girls looked at each other and sighed again.

thank you-

The East Courtyard is the residence prepared by the Xie family for the marriage of young children and grandchildren. They want to be full of children and grandchildren, but they have been the only seedlings for several generations, so they are naturally very spacious.

In the east corner of the east courtyard, there are two corner gates, each with a small cross courtyard, which was prepared for the grandchildren, and now they are all empty.

The west corner is a corner courtyard and three partial rooms. The partial rooms are used as warehouses.

The main room where Yin Mingyu lives, as soon as you enter the door is a spacious and atmospheric main room, and the east inner door of the main room is the bedroom, and there is a bathroom behind the bedroom, only the bathroom is almost the same size as Yin Mingyu's boudoir when she was not married.

The west inner door of the main room is connected to a study, which is probably prepared for Xie Qin. The high bookshelves stand against the wall, and scattered books are listed on it; there is a coffee table under the window, a chessboard is also placed, and a very ancient incense burner The cigarettes curled up above, and when you were there, it was like a sea of ​​books, washing away.

The only downside is that there is no soft collapse in the study.

Therefore, Yin Mingyu could only take the book back to the bedroom, half lying on the couch and flipping through it.

The gentle and well-behaved maid peeled off the lychees and gently fed them into her mouth. Sometimes she was thirsty, and another lively maid poured a cup of tea and brought it to her.

Yin Mingyu did not have a good life. She knew only on the first day of Xie's family that she would have to be extremely difficult in the future to resist the wear and tear of this life.

Fortunately, she is a flexible person.

With a smile on the corner of Yin Mingyu's mouth, he turned a page gently, immersed in the book.

"Boom boom boom-"

Yin'er put down the teapot in her hand and went out. After a while, she reported: "Young Madam, Xi Lan asked to see you, saying that it was Lord Lang's order that the attendants of the East Court come to visit you."

The bookmark was inserted into the page, Yin Mingyu put down the book, and said calmly, "Have someone wait in the hall."

Yin Mingyu adjusted his appearance a little before walking out of the inner room.

The door was open, and there were four maids standing in the main room, and there were about a dozen women and maids waiting in the courtyard outside the house. You could see the rank from the position and clothes.

As soon as Yin Mingyu appeared, they bowed and saluted, showing the style of a great family.

Of the four maids in the house, Yin Mingyu knew two, and the maid outside the house, she also had a few familiar ones, all of whom were escorted by the eldest lady.

The eldest lady's four personal maids at the beginning were Zhu Cao, who became the housekeeper, Rouge who served by Xie Ce's side, and Xi Lan and Pomegranate in front of her.

Furthermore, Yin Mingyu couldn't help but look at her. There were two other unfamiliar maids in the main room. One was full of poetry and literature, suitable for red sleeves, and the other was as beautiful as peaches and plums, pleasing to the eye, each with its own merits.

What a blessing to have such a beauty by my side.

Yin Mingyu reluctantly pulled his gaze back and sat on the chair at the top of the main room, without any intention of getting close to Xilan and Shiliu, and waited for them to meet.

Xi Lan's expression was as usual, and she took the lead to step forward, and respectfully introduced everyone, and whoever was introduced, that person stepped forward to meet Yin Mingyu.

The first is Pomegranate. She has served the eldest lady since she was a child, and she has a high temperament when she was in the Yin family, and now she salutes with a straight face.

Yin Mingyu didn't see it, and after Xi Lan finished her introduction, there were still a few left to mention, so she turned to the other two maids in the main room.

The book-scented maid stepped forward with a smile on her face, "The maid Qingyu, serves the Lord in the front yard."

The other maid is also Yingying bent, "The maid is red silk."

The two bowed down together, "Meet the young lady."

"Get up." Yin Mingyu didn't show any expression on the surface, but in fact, when his eyes moved, he looked at two more people, especially Hong Silk.

Qingyu and Hongshu are in charge of Xie Qin's different things in the front yard, and they want to tell Yin Mingyu. Yin Mingyu was not interested in listening, but in order to see the two of them in an honest and fair manner, he made a gesture of listening.

Jin'er and Yin'er knew her the best, they stood beside her, exchanged clear glances when people were not paying attention, and then looked at Qingyu and Hongsi intently.

What they said was all about Xie Qin. Xie Qin woke up every day at night and slept at every hour. Xie Qin liked light food, Xie Qin was busy with official business, and Xie Qin had to read every day...

Yin Mingyu listened to "Xie Qin" in his ears, and looked at the two of them. When they stopped talking, he still had no idea.

"You have already met. It's not good to be away from people for too long in the front yard, so just go back." She paused, and then said without meaning, "Please come again next time."

The two respectfully responded "yes", then bowed and said goodbye, and left the east courtyard with a few wives and maids who served in the front courtyard.

Yin Mingyu taught the servants in the academy to work again, and then said to Xi Lan, "You have always been thorough and meticulous. I can't be more at ease with you. You will continue to manage the East Court and report to me every tenth."

"Yes." Xi Lan agreed, her eyes quickly swept across Yin Mingyu and Jin'er Yin'er to her left and right, trying to judge whether they were sincere, but could not see the strange emotions from their expressions.

Yin Mingyu said "don't worry", so he didn't mention things like stewards anymore. He turned his mind and asked like a chat: "Big sister is the most virtuous, and everyone should be praised in Xie's family, right?"

Xi Lan's mind turned around, worried that she was the successor, thinking about how to answer more appropriately, Pomegranate opened her mouth.

"The eldest lady is talented and virtuous, not to mention that everything in the East Court is proper, and she is also very dedicated to serving the old lady and the lady. Wash your hands and make soup."

"Not only is there no talk in the house, but also outside the house regularly set up a porridge shed to do good deeds. It is also polite and courteous to make friends with the ladies of various families. He has not fallen into the name of the Yin family of the Xie family, and has won many praises. He is the virtuous helper of Lang Jun.

Her proud tone made Yin Mingyu quite speechless.

No wonder the attitude of Xie's parents and seniors was a little strange in the morning. With such a direct sister, Yuan, she was really a bit blind.

But... as for?

The needles and threads that she gave her when she recognized her relatives in the morning, she only took a few stitches by hand, and her mother, Mrs. Han, didn't say anything.

Those rules, the Xie family always spoke to her like this, and she must be a little softer to the eldest lady. The elder sister is so... so... filial and virtuous...

Yin Mingyu was speechless.

She was determined not to do it, nor would she do it.

In this way, the elder sister passed away and married her to enter the house, which was a big loss to the Xie family.

And Shiliu saw that Yin Mingyu's master and servant were all shocked, and his eyes were full of contentment.

Xi Lan's eyes reminded her that "it's enough", Pomegranate turned a blind eye, and said: "Second lady, the eldest lady thought that she couldn't serve Lang Jun during her pregnancy, and specially arranged a room for Lang Jun, which is Zhucao, when will I ask her to visit you? ?"

Yin Mingyu listened to her words, thought for a while, and asked, "Lang Jun... accept it?"

Pomegranate was silent, and after a while, she said stubbornly: "The eldest lady is reasonable and reasonable, and naturally she has to think about Langjun first."

Inside and outside of her words, the eldest lady is an example of a wife, and even reveals that Yin Mingyu is not as contemptuous as the eldest lady.

Yin Mingyu: "…"

The wife obeys the four virtues, has children, and takes the initiative to arrange the room.

Xi Lan didn't notice for a while, so she let Shiliu say so many words, worried about offending Yin Mingyu, so she said: "Young madam, you can ask the servant girl at any time about everything in the East Court, and the servant girl will definitely know everything."

Yin Mingyu waved his hand and asked them to go out, "No need to disturb anything."

Xilan and Shiliu exited, and as soon as they reached the secluded place, Xilan reprimanded: "What did you say in front of the young lady, if the young lady pursues it, who can protect you?"

Shiliu was still angry, "If the eldest lady hadn't passed away early, how could it be the second lady's turn and a concubine who took advantage of the eldest lady."

Xi Lan poked her forehead, "But the eldest lady has left!"

Pomegranate weeps.
