In the morning, before Yin Mingyu came back from the main courtyard, Xie Ce acted coquettishly and asked to go to the East Courtyard with her to feed the sheep. Old Madam Xie knew that the East Courtyard had matters, so she stopped Xie Ce, but asked Yin Mingyu to finish dealing with it before coming to the main courtyard.
After Yin Mingyu dealt with Zhu Cao, she went to lead the sheep.
This sheep has grown a little taller in recent days, and since it became the sheep of the Right Prime Minister and came to the mansion, its living standard has risen sharply.
When it first entered the East Courtyard, it laid directly on the straw mat. A maid would clean it every day, and the straw it needed was obtained from the stable in the mansion.
Now that the weather is getting colder, Yin Mingyu has asked people to build a small wooden shed for the sheep at the base of the wall. She has even planned that if the winter is too cold, she will take the sheep to the vacant courtyard in the east yard and give it a small room to spend the winter in.
This sheep’s life is more comfortable than Yin Mingyu’s previous life.
Yin Mingyu had the sheep untied and taken out for a walk. With her free hand, she let its head and said, “When one person achieves enlightenment, the whole family will benefit. Look at your fur, it’s so shiny and smooth.”
Yin’er and Hong Chou went out with Yin Mingyu.
Yin’er laughed, “When I was a child, I saw sheep in the village, but none of them were as white as yours.”
Hong Chou also said, “Your sheep looks smarter and very lovable.”
Many of the servants in the East Courtyard were on duty and could not move around freely, so their whole day was boring. Ever since the sheep came, firstly, they had never heard of any master raising a sheep as a pet, and secondly, it was new to them. Every time they passed by, they would feed it a handful of grass, or touch it and comb its wool.
It was unknown who, but someone found a comb designed just for it, so its hair is so smooth.
The little lamb was no longer as stubborn as it was when Chu He pulled it over. It was not afraid of people at all. As it walked, it even rubbed against Hong Chou’s legs, making Hong Chou laugh softly.
The pet resembles its owner.
Yin Mingyu pulled back on the rope and chuckled, “It has good hair. If we shave it off, it will be perfect for making wool felt.”
“Baaaa——”
The lamb rubbed its hooves and pushed against Yin Mingyu.
It wasn’t very powerful, and Yin Mingyu didn’t dodge. Instead, she continued to look at the hair on its body, which was about the length of a finger joint, as if she was really thinking about it.
“Baaaa——”
Yin’er and Hong Chou saw her arguing with a sheep and started laughing.
Yin Mingyu walked the sheep to the main courtyard gate, left the sheep outside the gate temporarily, and then went into the house.
As the weather was getting colder, all the windows were closed, but there was a heated room to the west of the old lady’s main hall. There was a fire channel and a heater under the heated room, which were already burning.
Yin Mingyu was wearing a lot of clothes, and when she entered the room, she felt a little hot. After performing her greetings, she removed her outer cloak and then her jacket.
As she was talking, Xie Ce knew that she had brought the sheep out, so he crawled to the edge of the kang to look for the sheep.
