I do fortune-telling in ancient astrology

Chapter 10 He called me epileptic

Prince Chu's son was killed in Luting Mountain, Wei Mingji investigated the case and found it in the capital city, the streets and alleys were strictly sealed off, Shangdu Mansion and Tingwei Mansion went to the streets to search for people, creating a commotion.

In the end, it seemed that no one was caught, and they all broke up after making a fuss.Lin Tingyu found out that Wei Mingji had been working hard for days and had a day off to take a bath, so he immediately called Lin Xingwei and Lin Chengan to the Lu residence.

Earlier, Lin Cheng'an had instigated Lin Xingwei to calculate a hexagram in advance to see when General Wei would rest.

But Lin Xingwei was restless, and was apprehensive about visiting Wei Mingji, so she didn't dare to tell the truth.

The three of them got into a carriage together, followed by another cart, carrying the gifts prepared by Mrs. Hou.Several servants walked on the long street mightily.

"Why is it the Lu family? Didn't an official as big as General Wei set up his own family?" Lin Xingwei asked.

Lin Chengan glanced at her, and said: "You are confused. Wei Mingji is the adopted son of General Lu Yi. His biological parents are in Beihai County, Qingzhou. Both his biological parents and adoptive parents are still alive. How can he stand on his own? That would be called unfilial by others. .”

"Oh." Lin Xing nodded slightly.

The ancients valued filial piety, and they would not easily separate from their parents. Even if there were many brothers, they would live in a big courtyard.Like the Lin family, the grandparents are still alive, the three brothers and three houses are all next to each other, and they are still a family even though the courtyard wall is opened.

The guard at the gate of the Lu Mansion heard that Princess Ning had come to visit General Wei, he was quite surprised, but he turned around to report.With permission, the three brothers and sisters entered on foot, and the cart was taken away by the guards.

In the courtyard of the third entrance, the main residence is Master Lu Yi's residence.After turning a long bend, they came to a wide gate. The guard who led the way said that this was Wei Mingji's residence, and asked them to go there by themselves.

The courtyard here is different from the outside, it is empty and deserted, there is not a single servant in sight, but a Yangdi soldier wearing a silver mask stands neatly and solemnly everywhere.It's not like a mansion, but like a government office.

Lin Chengyu slandered: Could this be the second Shangdu Prefecture?
The three brothers and sisters looked at me and I looked at you, hesitant to enter, it was Zuo Qiuzhi who came out and welcomed them in.

Entering through this door, there is a two-story building. Lin Xingwei looked up, and there was a young man in dark black clothes embroidered with silk-colored bamboo patterns standing under the corridor on the second floor. , Lang Yan is unique and elegant.

The young man was looking down at the three guests coming downstairs.

Lin Tingyu and Lin Cheng'an looked at each other in dismay, ashamed.

Lin Xingwei didn't know what kind of rule this person committed to be demoted to the world?
Lin Tingyu thought that if he had known this before, he should hide at home and read books. He had a poetic spirit in his stomach. As long as he read a lot, he would not be compared with Wei Mingji's majestic aura.

Lin Chengan regretted not wearing the indigo-backed silver vermilion pine-embroidered long gown that his father gave him during the Chinese New Year. Only this dress could compete with Wei Mingji's black-colored undercoat and silk-colored bamboo-embroidered deep gown.

Lin Xingwei took small steps and followed behind the two elder brothers, his eyes were nowhere to rest when he came back from upstairs.

When I was in college, there were a lot of handsome guys in the school, especially those from the art academy next door. They were all tall and soft, and they were even more dazzling than the boy group from the small country next door.

If you compare them with Wei Mingji, what a difference!Lin Xingwei's heart melted at just one glance upstairs and downstairs.

Wei Mingji's face is really handsome!His skin is so white, as if he hasn't been exposed to the sun since he was born.

The eyebrows were as black as if painted with ink, not to mention the eyes, which seemed to be inlaid with two dark blue colored glass beads, the nose was high and straight, the lips were pale pink, and the face was clear.

For Wei Mingji like this, the admirers are probably outside the capital city!

Lin Xingwei suddenly felt ashamed, lowered his head and followed his two brothers up the stairs silently.

"What are you guys doing here?" Wei Mingji's voice was so cold that it could freeze people to death.

Lin Tingyu didn't know how to start the conversation anymore, Lin Cheng'an had a thick skin, cupped his hands and said, "I was trapped in Luting Mountain on the Mid-Autumn Festival, and it was General Wei who sent our brothers and sisters down the mountain. Today, I specially thank you for this matter. , The gift of thanks has been placed in the general’s backyard.”

"Just for this?" Wei Mingji frowned, "The responsibility of the Shangdu Mansion is to surround the entire Luting Mountain in order to capture the important criminals, disturbing your pleasure of traveling in the mountains, you don't blame us, and you even send a thank you gift? "

"How could it be?" Lin Cheng'an laughed awkwardly, "It happened so suddenly, and it's the villain who should be blamed. The murder at the temple fair had a huge impact. During the Mid-Autumn Festival, the brothers in Shangdu were not allowed to rest, and they were tired of handling the case. "

Lin Cheng'an sneaked a glance at Lin Xingwei, and continued: "The general and Ran Ran are related, they are from my own family. My parents said that the general has worked hard on the case these days. They said it was a thank you gift, but it was actually to comfort the general."

Wei Mingji's eyes were gloomy and cold, and he said in a deep tone: "All the brothers in the Yangzhai army live on the court's salary to help His Majesty solve problems, it should be like this, why bother you to come and express condolences?"

The three brothers and sisters were stunned, this Wei Mingji really couldn't speak.

Lin Tingyu flinched and said: "Isn't this two families related? They will soon be a family. Gifts and greetings should be given."

Wei Mingji calmed down, looked at Lin Tingyu, sighed and said, "I'm really busy with business, and I haven't visited the elders at the Lin family. The elders of the Lin family came to Lu's house to look for me, and I don't have time to meet you. Please, please come here Say a few nice words in front of the elders."

Lin Tingyu pursed his lips nervously, "My elders understand."

"That's fine."

Lin Cheng'an turned his head and glanced at Lin Xing who was hiding behind him. Why did General Wei treat his eldest cousin with a pleasant face, as if he had been weighed, and his words were not pleasant?

Lin Xingwei was still thinking, are they not allowed to enter the house?Wei Mingji's way of hospitality is to stand on the porch and talk?
"Are you also here to thank me?" Wei Mingji looked from the back of Lin Cheng'an's neck to Lin Xingwei.

"Ran Ran, come here quickly, General Wei is asking you something!" Lin Cheng'an stepped aside and motioned for Lin Xingwei to step forward.

Lin Xingwei swallowed her saliva twice, tried her best to restrain the tension in her heart, stepped forward slowly, and said timidly: "The empress called me and my mother... and Mrs. Lu into the palace to discuss your marriage. My mother asked me to come and ask Let me ask you, are you and I getting engaged or withdrawing? If you are engaged, you should discuss an agenda with General Wei, and if you are withdrawing, you should also discuss a countermeasure."

Lin Xingwei stammered and finished speaking, and finally heaved a sigh of relief.She should have expressed the meaning clearly, it depends on how Wei Mingji answers.

Wei Mingji's expression was gloomy, and he thought for a moment before asking: "Then what does the princess mean? Is it an engagement or a divorce?"

"Me?... I can do anything."

As soon as Lin Xingwei finished speaking, Lin Chengan poked her elbow.

Lin Tingyu quickly explained: "Ran Ran means that this matter is complicated and the initiative is in the hands of the general. Our Lin family can do whatever the general does, and there is no objection to withdrawing the marriage."

Wei Mingji said loudly: "I heard that Princess Ning suffered from epilepsy and ruined my dowry. I thought Princess Ning didn't want to marry."

Epilepsy?The three brothers and sisters were stunned. Is Wei Mingji swearing?

Lin Cheng'an couldn't help asking in doubt: "When did Ran Ran get epilepsy?"

Wei Mingji said: "Second Master Lin, if you don't understand something, please ask the princess carefully. I'm busy with business, so I won't accompany you all. Please go back."

After speaking, he walked into the room, and the guard closed the door.

Lin Xingwei: ...

The sincere hearts of the three of them were poured into a cold heart, this is not because they have been rejected, but because they have eaten bad food and cold.

The three brothers and sisters looked at the closed door and stared at each other in a daze, until they were invited out by Zuoqiu Zhi, none of them came back to their senses.

Lin Cheng'an couldn't believe that Wei Mingji was the future son-in-law of the Lin family, but rather an enemy.

On the carriage back, Lin Tingyu's handsome face almost collapsed into the ditch, and he said angrily, "It's all because our Lin family is incapable of letting him bully us like this, if our family has a prime minister in the court Man, how dare he treat our family so slowly?"

Lin Xingwei raised the window, glanced at the slowly closed door of the Lu Mansion, and said leisurely, "Wait as long as you want, but I don't know what he means. Is it a divorce or an engagement? I don't know for sure."

Lin Cheng'an also poked his head out of the car window, glanced at the large empty car pulling the gift from behind, and murmured: "People who don't want to see us, but accepted our gift."

Lin Tingyu thought about it carefully, and said: "We have learned about Wei Mingji's attitude during our trip today. He can't say that he wants to withdraw from the marriage and he doesn't want to get engaged. Our family has to be more cautious. If he wants to withdraw from the marriage in the future, that's fine. , if we want to get engaged, then it is time for us to ask him the conditions, now we just have to wait."

"Wait? When will you go?" Lin Cheng'an widened his eyes, "Half a year? One year? Or three or five years?"

Lin Xing smiled slightly, and said: "Wei Mingji wants to procrastinate, will the empress and prince let him procrastinate? I listen to my eldest cousin, just go back and wait."

Back at the Hou Mansion, Mrs. Hou took a look at the expressions of the three brothers and sisters, and knew what was going on, so she didn't ask any more questions.
