With the behavior of the aunt Han family, the concubine daughters have been brought up, and they will definitely not deliberately negotiate in the marriage.

She said that in the letter, she must have given Sanniang and Siniang some power to choose, but the person Sanniang wanted to choose, her first mother did not agree with it, thinking that Yin Mingyu might also object, so she sent a letter specially .

It can be said that Yin Mingyu was not allowed to go back, but they both knew each other that Yin Mingyu could not sit back and ignore the relationship between sisters.

And what kind of marriage Sanniang wanted to choose, Yin Mingyu was puzzled by Xie Qin's letter later sent to her.

After the autumn hunting, many families were discussing relatives. As the in-laws of the Xie family, the Yin family also had a tendency to rise a bit after the Xie family head was promoted to the right minister.

However, the two princes of the Yin family, one has long been married, and the other has been married, and the wedding date will be at the end of autumn. The next generation is too young. If they want to have a relationship with the Xie family, they can only focus on the two concubines of the Yin family.

The previous Cuju match did have some influence on the two ladies of the Yin family, but it was not bad.

Everyone present knew that they were implicated by Weiyang County Lord and Yin Mingyu, and Yangle County Lord deliberately found fault. That's all, I won't give them any attention at all.

Even the marriage of the prostitute is supposed to be lower. Some people dislike the trouble and are afraid of offending the county master. Maybe they intended to bypass the two, and the marriage may be a bit lower.

But Yin Mingyu is in her early years. She is the young lady of the Xie family. Her maintenance of the two concubine sisters has become a bonus for the marriage of the two concubine sisters.

Xie Qin said in the letter that there are a few families whose family background is lower than that of the Yin family, but they are all seeking marriage for their direct sons, and most of them are the second and youngest sons.

In addition, the more prominent two, one is Qi Wulang, the concubine of Zhongguo Gongfu, and the other is Zhao Erlang, the second grandson of Princess Pingcheng.

The Yin family was neutral, and because of the relationship between the Prince of Zhongguo and the King of Peace, he naturally would not choose the marriage of the Duke Zhongguo, and Xie Qin did not elaborate on this.

He talked about more about Princess Pingcheng.

Princess Pingcheng was the younger sister of the late emperor's compatriot. At the beginning of the late emperor's pursuit of the deer in the Central Plains, she married into the Zhao family, which was a powerful force in the north, and provided the late emperor a lot of help in the early days.

Later, the various forces under the former emperor were complicated, and the Zhao family gradually disappeared. After the founding of the country, the former emperor rewarded the ministers, and the Zhao family also received heavy rewards, but the title and fiefs fell on the princess of Pingcheng. , did not give the prince-in-law a knighthood.

The honor of the Zhao family is all tied to the Princess Pingcheng, so the Princess Pingcheng is quite powerful.

And the reason why Zhao Erlang would marry the third wife of his concubine with his second grandson was because Zhao Erlang had some fetal problems, and he was pale and weak every time he appeared in front of others.

There is quite a guess in Beijing, perhaps because of insufficient life expectancy.

Some people who love their daughters a little bit don't want their daughters to marry this son, but they are willing to cling to them. Princess Pingcheng doesn't look down on them, but who knows that she has taken a fancy to Yin Mingrui.

Yin Mingyu remembered what Yin Mingrui asked her that day—

"Second sister, can you only give in when you are in a low position?"

She answered like that at the time, and she must not be able to teach Yin Mingrui to relax, so it is very likely that she will not mind other things and just want to marry into a high school.

"Jin'er, Yin'er."

The two maids came over, "Miss."

Yin Mingyu put down the letter and said, "Pack your bags, I'll go and ask my grandmother for instructions."

Jin'er and Yin'er looked at each other, did not ask much, and immediately went to clean up.

Yin Mingyu came to the main courtyard alone, and directly explained the purpose of his visit: "My grandmother, forgive me, I originally wanted to go back to Beijing with you in a few days, just to attend the wedding of my second elder brother's family, but it happened that I received a letter from my aunt today that my third younger sister is discussing marriage. , Sun-in-law is really thinking about it, so she wants to go back to Beijing early."

Xie Ce only heard that she was going, slipped down and grabbed her hand, "Don't go, don't go~"

Madam Xie was not dissatisfied with the fact that she was thinking about her mother's sister, but when she saw Xie Ce like that, she said sourly, "Isn't it enough to have your great-grandmother to accompany you?"

Xie Ce shook his head, "Yes, all of them."

"Greedy." Madam Xie angrily said, "I have lived in Zhuangzi for some time, let's go back to Beijing together."

Yin Mingyu thanked Mrs. Xie, turned around and went out to be a normal mama, packed her things, and sent someone to send a letter back to the house.

That night, they stayed at Zhuangzi for one more night, and set off back to Beijing in the middle of the next day.

Although it was a temporary decision to return to Beijing, I didn't rush the schedule, so I didn't walk fast on the road, and it was only at the beginning of Shen Shi that I arrived in front of Xie's residence.

As soon as they entered the city gate, they sent someone back to the mansion to inform Mrs. Xie, so when they got off the carriage, Mrs. Xie had already greeted them outside the mansion.

Yin Mingyu greeted Mrs. Xie first, then turned to look at Mrs. Xie's carriage.

Xie Ce fell asleep in the carriage, Nanny Tong held him and got off the carriage first, and then the maid helped Madam Xie out.

Mrs. Xie stepped forward to greet Mrs. Xie: "Mother, are you doing well in Zhuangzi? How is the road?"

Mrs. Xie had a tired look on her face, and nodded slightly, "Everything is fine, you don't have to worry."

"That's good." Mrs. Xie turned her gaze to the grandson lying in the nurse's arms and was startled, "Ce'er...why is it so dark?"

blacken?

Yin Mingyu and Mrs. Xie looked at Xie Ce one after another. They looked at Xie Ce every day. They only saw that he was healthy and had firepower, and they didn't pay attention to his skin color at all.

And this closer look, isn't it a little darker? It doesn't look like the fair-skinned little golden boy from before.

Mrs. Xie even looked at Yin Mingyu, but Yin Mingyu looked back innocently. It had nothing to do with her. Mrs. Xie pushed Xie Ce to her first in order to eat meat quietly.

Mrs. Xie understood inexplicably, "..."

Mrs. Xie was still looking at Xie Ce, took Xie Ce's hand, and found that his little hand had also changed color, and the contrast in her white palm was extremely obvious, "..."

Xie Ce woke up slowly, his eyelids opened with difficulty, and when he saw the person in front of him, he showed a pure smile, "Grandma~"

He grinned, and his teeth looked even whiter.

Mrs. Xie's heart softened, she took him from the nurse's arms, and asked kindly, "Are you having fun?"

Xie Ce hugged him, his articulation was much clearer than before, "Happy!"

Mrs. Xie wanted to say something else, but a sheep call interrupted her.

"What—"

The journey is long and it is inconvenient to hold the sheep, so the lambs are put in a cage and placed on a carriage.

It used the cage on its head and kept barking.

Mrs. Xie asked, "Is this what I brought back to eat?"

Before Yin Mingyu could answer, Xie Ce quickly shook his head, "Don't eat!"

Mrs. Xie immediately found the reason and said, "It's not Yin's family. She's still the same age as Ce'er, and she's not stable. Which family's wife and Langjun are raising sheep to play with?"

Only then did Mrs. Xie understand that this sheep was not for eating.

But she only glanced at Yin Mingyu and Xie Ce, and did not object to their special hobbies. She only asked Mrs. Xie to hurry back to the main courtyard to rest, which she had already arranged.

Yin Mingyu followed behind Mrs. Xie and said softly, "Mother, I want to go back to Yin's house tomorrow."

When Mrs. Xie heard the words, she understood: "Is it for Yin San Niangzi's marriage?"

Yin Mingyu nodded.

Mrs. Xie didn't ask Yin Mingyu before, but after hearing Mrs. Xie mention it, she asked casually after entering the main room, "Which family's lord is he?"

Madam Xie replied, "The Erlang of Princess Pingcheng's family."

"Princess Pingcheng?" Mrs. Xie frowned indistinctly, and then stretched out again, "The family background is very good."

Yin Mingyu has been paying attention to the expression of the old lady, and he knows in his heart that the palace of the eldest princess must be a bit complicated.

Xie Qin didn't say much in the letter. If she went to inquire, she would not be as well-informed as Mrs. Xie. Sanniang is a simple person, I don't know if she is suitable for the princess' residence?"

When Madam Xie saw that she was not as irritating as she used to be, she couldn't help but lift her chin, raised her hand to teach people to go out, and said, "I'm about the same age as the eldest princess, and I haven't seen her before I entered the capital. However, the eldest princess' concubine has another heir, who is two years older than the eldest princess' eldest son, and it is said that he suffered a lot in his early years."

"The eldest princess is extremely strict, but she is not as lenient as I am. If you did those unsightly things in front of her, you would have been severely punished."

Yin Mingyu immediately gave a grateful look, "Yes, my grandmother is most aware of the kindness of my grandmother."

Mrs. Xie was keenly aware that Mrs. Xie's honest words were somewhat different from the past.

On the other hand, Mrs. Xie didn't care about Yin Mingyu's elevation, but she continued, "The eldest princess is the most disciplined, she used to despise prostitutes, but this time I don't know why she likes Yin Sanniang. Princess Mansion, the rules must not go wrong."

Mrs. Xie talked for a while, only telling the facts, not saying "you shouldn't marry into the eldest princess' mansion", at her age, she knows most people have their own aspirations, and finally said: "Maybe there is another way, and it is inconvenient for close relatives. about."

Yin Mingyu nodded to show that she understood, she just wanted to do her best, and didn't want to worry about Sanniang's affairs so that she was worried.

After retiring and returning to the East Courtyard, the maids came to greet them. As soon as Yin Mingyu saw the two pretty faces of Qingyu and Hongsi, he forgot all his troubles, and just wanted to watch them both from time to time and be pleasant to the eyes.

In the evening, when Xie Qin came back, as soon as he entered the inner room, he saw Yin Mingyu lying comfortably on the couch. The two maids who had served him since childhood, one sat in front of Yin Mingyu and read poems for her, and the other squeezed some snacks and fed them to her mouth. .

And his wife smiled and looked at the two of them, and even when he came back, he only said hello vaguely, and the cautious rules of the first day or two of marriage were long gone.

Xie Qin waved his hand, took away the poetry collection in Qingyu's hand, and motioned for the two to step back.

Yin Mingyu picked up the plate put down by the red silk and asked casually, "Can you be busy today?"

Xie Qin nodded, glanced at the book in his hand, and suddenly asked, "Have you discussed marriage with Saburo Han?"

Yin Mingyu paused, sat up slightly, and asked, "Is this what Zhu Cao said?"

Xie Qin opened the book and said, "She said that you belong to your heart, but I don't believe you when I see you as a person."

Yin Mingyu watched his expression intently, raised his hand slowly, stuffed another piece of the snack entrance, and chewed it slowly.

Xie Qin looked up and saw that she was still in the mood to eat, and knew that she didn't need to ask any more. She was in a somewhat unrecognizable mood. She picked up the poems and said, "I read your poems a few days ago. Interested, if I have nothing to do at night, teach you to write poetry?"

What kind of good poetry can a person as boring as him write.

Yin Mingyu snorted, "...No need."
