There are few people in the Xie family. A generation ago, there was only the leader of the Xie family and a shu born auntie.
Master Xie has two concubines, but he has no shu born children. He has only one di son, Xie Qin, and Xie Qin only has one Xie Ce.
When Yin Mingyu recognized her relatives, Xie Ce offered tea to Yin Mingyu.
Xie Ce walked more steadily than two months ago. The nanny led him to Yin Mingyu and brought tea to Xie Ce.
The Xie family should have taught Xie Ce in advance. His small face was tight, and his small hands grasped the edge of the lamp holder. He slowly bowed to Yin Mingyu and shouted, âMot, her.â¦â¦â
He didnât say the followup, but the nanny whispered to remind him: âPlease have tea.â
Xie Ce: âpleaseâ¦â¦â
âItâs âPlease have tea â.â
Xie Ce: âYes pleaseâ¦â¦â
âNo.â The nanny was worried and corrected, âXiao Lang, itâs âplease drinkâ.â
Xie Ceâs face began to turn red, and the tea cup began to shake, âYesâ¦â¦â
Itâs really interesting that the child who said nothing quickly learned to speak, but the babyâs dimples should not be teased. Yin Mingyu closed her lips and looked sideways at Xie Qin.
Xie Qin didnât speak until Xie Ce spoke clearly.
When Yin Mingyu saw this, she didnât care and watched Xie Ce with a wooden face.
But in her heart, she was saying: the person who teaches children is asking for trouble. Two months ago, he could only say one word. Now, how nice, to teach âmother, drinkâ.
However, the more nervous Xie Ce is, the less he can speak. He seems to be about to cry. Old Madam Xie was very distressed and scolds, âDonât embarrass him. Just teach him âdrinkâ.â
Hearing this, the nanny immediately changed her tongue and restarted teaching Xie Ce to speak.
One word is really much easier. Xie Ce said it smoothly, and Yin Mingyu answered. She took a drink, gave a gift, and ended the tea ceremony.
At breakfast, Yin Mingyu, the bride, needed to serve the elders with dishes to express her filial piety.
She clipped two chopsticks, and Old Madam Xie let her sit down.
Yin Mingyu is very honest, and sat down properly.
But after sitting down, Yin Mingyu noticed that the three elders of the Xie family looked at her strangely, as if they were surprisedâ¦â¦
Yin Mingyu thought about it for a moment, then slowly got up again, showing a little anxiety.
Xie Qin was the only one with a normal look. He said calmly, âSit down.â
Madam Xie immediately gathered her mood and said, âItâs nothing, sit down.â
Yin Mingyu obediently sat down and buried herself in breakfast.
Xie Qin looked at her and ate another bowl of porridge. His eyes slid down to her abdomen, and then he paused and moved his gaze away.
Without saying anything, even the youngest Xie Ce did not speak. After a quiet meal, Old Madam Xie taught Yin Mingyu to return to the east courtyard.
Madam Xie told her that in the future, they only need to have a meal in the morning, have a meal every first, fifteen days of the month or holiday, and they can stay in their courtyard at all other times.
In addition, Madam Xie said, âI just got some lychees from the south. If you want to eat them, I will ask my maid to fetch them from the dining room.â
Yin Mingyuâs heart was moved. The Yin family could also buy seasonal fruits from the south, but there were not many. The younger generation could only get a few to taste occasionally, and there were even fewer for shu daughters.
The Xie Family is really the Xie Family.
As soon as Yin Mingyu returned to the East Yard, she asked Yinâer to fetch the lychees.
She laid on the couch and read a book. Jinâer peeled the lychees and sent them to her. It was a very pleasant day.
In the west courtyard, Madam Xie heard that Yin Mingyuâs maid had gone to get the lychees, and said to the concubines: âThe shu daughters are not as noble as di daughters. Even if the in-laws are kind-hearted, there are some differences towards the shu daughters.â
In the main courtyard, Old Madam Xie was also telling the accompanying, Granny Tong, about Yin Mingyu, âThe first day of Ceâerâs marriage, she said she didnât have to wait on her, but she was with her every day.âGranny Tong flattered, âThe first young lady is the most filial.â
Old Madam Xie is noncommittal.
