Chapter 159: No Need to Worry About Being Harshly Treated by Your Stepmother
Inside the embroidery workshop.
Yun Xiangye had just carried Nuonuo to the small couch and let her continue sleeping, when Nuonuo woke up.
Yun Xiangye saw Nuonuo's happy face and said, "Nuonuo."
The little Nuonuo head turned around and looked and asked, "Where's Daddy?"
Yun Xiangye held Nuonuo in his arms and said, "Daddy has some official business. When he takes a day off, he can come and play with Nuonuo."
Nuonuo looked up and said, "I want daddy to take me riding a horse."
Yun Xiangye smiled and said, "Mom, go learn how to ride a horse too. When you learn how to ride a horse, you can take Nuonuo with you to ride horses."
Nuonuo threw herself into Yun Xiangye's arms and giggled.
In the afternoon, Yun Xiangye asked Run'er to go to the West Street pawnshop, intending to ask her cousin Su Zhan to find a good and docile horse for her so that she could learn to ride a horse. It would be best if she could find a female teacher who could ride a horse to teach her.
Run'er returned near dusk.
Run'er went inside and said to Yun Xiangye, "Miss, my cousin said that you mentioned it at the right time. He has a good friend who is the leader of a horse caravan in the north city that does business with the Western Regions. He happens to have an obedient and docile horse that he had planned to give to his son to ride when he is a little older. The leader of the horse caravan wants to stay and finish the wedding banquet for my cousin before leaving. You can go to the pawnshop to look for them whenever you are free."
Yun Xiangye smiled and said, "What a coincidence."
"Yes, the leader of the horse caravan was passing through Chang'an. When he learned that your cousin was getting married soon, he stayed and insisted that he must attend the wedding banquet before leaving. He has a sister who is an expert in horse riding and can teach you how to ride a horse."
Yun Xiangye looked at Nuonuo who was playing with a cloth tiger and said, "Since Nuonuo likes riding horses, I will go and learn it tomorrow."
Fortunately, there were ready-made riding clothes in the embroidery workshop, and Yun Xiangye tried it on and found it fit her perfectly.
When Run'er saw Yun Xiangye in riding clothes, she praised him, "Girl, you look really good in this riding clothes."
Yun Xiangye looked at herself in the bronze mirror and smiled gently.
The next morning, when Yun Xiangye was about to take Nuonuo to West Street, she saw Lin Bolan who had arrived early in the morning outside the embroidery workshop.
Yun Xiangye looked at Lin Bolan in front of her and said, "Miss Lin, why did you come to the embroidery workshop so early?"
Lin Bolan looked at the riding clothes Yun Xiangye was wearing and asked, "Are you going to play polo in this riding clothes?"
Yun Xiangye smiled faintly and said, "How can I play polo? It's Nuonuo who wants to ride a horse, so I thought I would learn it too, and then I can teach Nuonuo how to ride a horse myself."
Lin Bolan glanced at the alley behind him, coughed and said, "Want to teach Nuonuo how to ride a horse? It just so happens that I know a little bit about horse riding, how about I teach Nuonuo?"
When Lin Bolan spoke to Nuonuo, his voice was soft and gentle.
Nuonuo, who has always been a little shy, was not at all shy towards Lin Bolan. When she saw Lin Bolan reaching out to hug her, she also obediently reached out her hands and threw herself into Lin Bolan's arms.
Lin Bolan smelled the milky fragrance on Nuonuo's body and chuckled, "Auntie will take you to go horseback riding, okay?"
Nuonuo nodded her little head and said, "Okay."
Yun Xiangye said: "This is too much trouble for Miss Lin..."
Lin Bolan glanced at Zhao Rui in the back alley, smiled faintly and said, "It's not a big deal. After all, I may have to spend more time with Nuonuo in the future."
Yun Xiangye thought of the rumors that had been widely circulated in Chang'an City in recent days and sighed slightly. After all, Lin Bolan and Gu Yan grew up together, and she still didn't see Gu Yan's true face clearly. Such a good girl, but Gu Yan really got lucky.
However, Yun Xiangye was happy for Nuonuo.
It can be seen at first glance that Lin Bolan is well-educated and well-read. With such a stepmother, Nuonuo does not have to worry about being treated harshly by her.
Yun Xiangye then invited Lin Bolan to get into the carriage and go to Su's Dental Clinic on West Street together.
Arrived at the dental clinic.
Not long after, Su Zhan came out with a muscular man in his thirties. The man in front of him had dark skin and was very tall.
Su Zhan was not short, but he was two inches shorter next to this strong man.
Next to the sturdy man was a little boy of about three or four years old, who was also very dark, but had a pair of bright eyes, and was very cute.
"cousin."
Yun Xiangye stood up and said, "This is Miss Lin from Prime Minister Lin's family. She learned that I came here to learn horse riding and wanted to teach Nuonuo how to ride, so she came with me."
Lin Bolan smiled faintly at Su Zhan, which counted as a greeting.
Su Zhan also nodded as a greeting, and then he said to Yun Xiangye: "This is the leader of the North City Horse Gang, Hu Feng, and this is his son, Hu Fang."
Yun Xiangye saw Hu Fang, who looked about three or four years old, staring at her, and asked with a faint smile, "How old are you?"
Hu Fang walked up to Yun Xiangye and said, "You're almost four years old. Can I hug you?"
Hu Feng said from the side: "Cousin, I'm sorry, this child lost his mother when he was two years old. You look a bit like his mother, so he may have mistaken you for his mother."
Yun Xiangye smiled faintly as she picked up the four-year-old Hu Fang. Hu Fang was much heavier than Nuonuo, so although it was difficult to hold him, she was still able to hold him up. "It's okay, this child is very well behaved."
Nuonuo hurriedly ran over to Yun Xiangye and said, "Mom, hold the baby."
Yun Xiangye put Hu Fang down from her arms with a faint smile and held Xiao Nuonuo in her arms. Yun Xiangye noticed a hint of loneliness and envy in Hu Fang's eyes.
Yun Xiangye could only smile apologetically towards Hu Fang. After all, she couldn't let Nuonuo be jealous for the sake of other children.
"Brother Su, I've already changed into my riding clothes. When will your cousin come?"
A young woman in red riding clothes came in from outside the door. She looked very heroic. Although she was a little dark, it couldn't hide her beauty.
Su Zhan introduced the newcomer to Yun Xiangye, "She is Hu Feng's sister Hu Yun. Sister Yun, this is my cousin Yun Xiangye, and this girl is Lin Bolan, the daughter of Prime Minister Lin's mansion."
When Hu Yun heard about the daughter of Prime Minister Lin, she began to look at Lin Bolan, "I heard that women in your Chang'an City have a lot of rules. They are always particular about not leaving the main door or the secondary door. I didn't expect that I could actually meet the daughter of Prime Minister Lin."
Lin Bolan smiled softly and said, "There are no such harsh rules for women in this dynasty. Not leaving the main gate or the secondary gate is only a rule that some aristocratic families have for their spoiled daughters."
Su Zhan said to Yun Xiangye, "We will go to a farm on the outskirts of the city to train horses later."
Yun Xiangye smiled faintly at Hu Yun and said, "Then I'll trouble you, Miss Hu."
"No need to bother, just call me Hu Yun, no need to be so polite."
Hu Yun is very carefree. Although Yun Xiangye is not of that type, she really likes women with such straightforward personalities.
Yun Xiangye and Lin Bolan got on the carriage together. Yun Xiangye turned around and heard crying, and saw Hu Fang wiping tears. She smiled and said, "Do you want to go riding too? Why don't you go together? You and Sister Nuonuo will have a companion."
When Hu Fang heard this, she stopped crying and looked at Hu Feng.
Hu Feng said: "Why don't you thank this aunt?"
Hu Fang burst into laughter and said, "Thank you, auntie."
Yun Xiangye stretched out her hand and helped Hu Fang into the carriage.
When Xiao Nuonuo saw Hu Fang, her eyes rolled around. She came close to Hu Fang and rubbed the dark back of Hu Fang's hand with her fair little hands, but the dark spots would not come off no matter how hard she tried.
Hu Yun, who followed them into the carriage, laughed and said, "Little girl, Fang'er's hands are tanned, not dirty."
Yun Xiangye quickly hugged Nuonuo in her arms and said to Hu Yun, "I'm sorry."
Hu Yun smiled and said, "It's okay. This little girl is very cute and soft. What's her name?"
"Yun Ran." Yun Xiangye smiled faintly, "Her nickname is Nuonuo, and she just turned two this year."
Yun Xiangye saw that little Hu Fang was staring at her, so she reached out and took his hand and said with a smile, "Why don't you and Nuonuo be playmates and play together?"
Little Hu Fang nodded and said, "Okay."
Yun Xiangye whispered to Nuonuo again: "You play with your brother."
Hu Yun looked at his nephew and said, "Fan'er is so pitiful. He lost his mother when he was two years old. My brother was busy with the caravan business and has never been able to find him another mother. You have some similarities with my late sister-in-law. I'm afraid Fang'er mistook you for his mother."
Yun Xiangye patted Hu Fang's little head and said, "No matter how busy the business is, we can always find time to find a mother for the child. It's really pitiful for him to be without a mother at such a young age."
Hu Yun looked at Yun Xiangye and said, "I heard that you just divorced your husband, right?"
Yun Xiangye: “…”
Hu Yun's eyes lit up and he said, "Don't think I'm being blunt. I heard rumors in Chang'an that you're not young anymore. If you want to get married again, you have to hurry up. Why don't you consider my brother? Although my brother is very burly, he is thoughtful. It would be most appropriate for you to each take care of a child..."
Lin Bolan hurriedly asked: "How can this be possible?"
