Chapter 12 Arguing over Wei Mingji

Chen Rui and his father Lin Huaishan made contributions in the Yingchuan Rebellion. The first emperor made Chen Rui the Marquis of Pingcheng. Later, a small group of anti-army forces invaded Du County. He was named the king of Yingchuan, and his sons were also honored, and his daughters were all made county heads.

Nanyang Hou's Mansion has no contact with Yingchuan Prince's Mansion, in order not to lose the public's opinion, the Lin family's banquet guest list did not invite unrelated nobles, Chen Xinan came uninvited.

Lin Xingwei had been preparing for this big banquet for the past few days, and just now he stood at the door for a long time, and after entering the banquet hall, he couldn't straighten his waist after toasting and saluting.

The elders have their own elders to take care of them, but the little girl who is her age has to be taken care of by her.

Today Lin Xingwei was wearing a vermilion cherry red cross-neck top and a unicorn blue train skirt. He was sitting on the seat by virtue of his appearance, which was very eye-catching among the girls.

A group of little girls and big girls took turns to toast to her, Lin Xing smiled slightly and became tipsy in an instant.In my previous life, I didn't drink well, and in this life, my underage body couldn't bear it even more.

Yun Zhu silently pulled Lin Xingwei from behind, and said in a low voice, "If the princess can't drink, I will replace the bar with tea. Today's drinks are clear, so I can replace them with tea, so others won't be able to tell."

If you can't see it, it's fine. If someone sees it, it will be a joke and lose the face of the Lin family. She can drink less but can't adulterate.Therefore, Lin Xingwei rejected Yunzhu's idea of ​​replacing wine with tea.

"You go ask Third Aunt to take care of this place, I'll go out to get some air." Lin Xingwei said, if she drinks any more, she will really get drunk here, don't make a fool of herself?
Yunzhu retreated, Lin Xingwei had just pushed back with a few noble ladies around him, and was about to get up, when a high-pitched and charming voice came from the opposite side: "Master Ning, why didn't General Wei come to congratulate Taigong Lin on his birthday today? ah?"

Another person came to ask Wei Mingji, Lin Xing looked sideways, and it was Chen Xinan who asked the question.

Chen Xinan used to say that he wanted to help Lin Xingwei and Wei Mingji divorce their marriage, why did he disappear after just one visit?
Lin Xingwei wanted to find an opportunity today to ask her to see what was going on.

Before Lin Xingwei could answer, a handsome woman in green clothes beside Chen Xinan said again: "Princess Youning is usually domineering, and I heard that even the betrothal gift from General Wei was smashed."

The green-clothed woman covered her mouth with a chuckle, and said again: "There are people who are conceited to be beautiful, arrogant and self-willed, and now they have forced General Wei not to dare to go to the gate of the Nanyang Marquis's Mansion."

Lin Xingwei listened quietly and kept silent.The girls around also pricked up their ears, and their eyes glanced back and forth between Lin Xingwei, Chen Xinan and the woman in green.

Chen Xinan smiled indifferently, and said: "People can't patronize a superficial appearance and disregard inner self-cultivation. General Wei is such a hero, but he shunned the Nanyang Marquis Mansion for a long time. Princess Ning should change his temper."

These two not only sang the oboe, but also educated her!Lin Xingwei's face was gloomy, he put down the chopsticks in his hand, and raised his eyebrows.

"Change what?"

Just as Lin Xingwei was about to scold Chen Xinan bloody, and let her know how much he weighed before he lectured others, a girl in purple on the seat on Chen Xinan's right burst out laughing and made a sound.

"Although Wei Mingji is a general, the Wei family is just a merchant. Why do you care so much?"

The purple-clothed woman rolled her eyes and turned the back of her head, and said again: "Huang Xuan, Chen Xinan, you two know how to cultivate yourself, why do you go to other people's houses and teach them so hard?"

"You!..." The green-clothed woman named Huang Xuan's face turned green at the moment, but Chen Xinan was extremely calm.

"What are you?" The purple-clothed girl said again: "You guys are rushing to curry favor with Wei Mingji, but you haven't seen Wei Mingji come to your door to propose marriage to you."

The woman in purple had willow eyebrows like smoke, her eyes were clear, and her complexion had a hint of arrogance.

If Lin Xingwei remembers correctly, this woman is Cao Ruicen, the daughter of Guang Luxun's envoy Cao Rong, and her mother, Mrs. Ouyang, is a close friend of Mrs. Hou's boudoir.

She was able to speak up for Lin Xingwei, which showed that she had a good relationship with Lin Xingwei in the past.

Chen Xinan frowned, and said loudly: "Cao Ruicen, don't you want to taunt us here, don't you also covet Wei Mingji? Why are you pretending to be aboveboard here?"

"Yes!" Miss Huang Xuan followed immediately, "You can't climb up to Wei Mingji, so you'll settle for the next best thing, and you've fallen in love with Wei Mingji's cousin, Wei Minglang, and you'll show off by reading the love letter Wei Minglang gave you everywhere, you still have the face Say us here."

Cao Ruicen's arrogance was at a loss, and he was so angry that he stopped talking, and argued: "Why do I have a crush on Wei Minglang, it's because the shameless Wei Minglang has a crush on me!"

Cao Ruicen spoke with a tearful tone: "He is just a county official. He obviously has a wife and son, but he shamelessly teased me! I was so angry that I read his shameless letter in public. What? Tell me to show off!"

Lin Xingwei wanted to laugh when she heard this, she wanted to say a few words about why Wei Mingji didn't come to the Lin family to attend the birthday banquet today, but unexpectedly they shifted their focus from Wei Mingji to Wei Minglang.

She likes to listen to gossip the most, she pours wine from the wine urn to fill the glass, and intends to quietly listen to a lively and good show.

Huang Xuan said again: "Yo, you're still wronged! You and that Wei Minglang give each other gifts, who doesn't know? To whom will you show this appearance? It's as if we are bullying you."

"I gave him two pairs of broken shoes and told him to go away!" Cao Ruicen covered his face in tears and got up, walked to Lin Xingwei and sat down, sobbing, "Master Youning, when you marry the Wei family, you must be careful about that Wei." Mingming, he is not a good guy, let alone human relations."

"Is he in the capital? How did you know Wei Minglang?" Lin Xingwei asked lightly.

Mrs. He once said that except for Wei Mingji, the rest of the Wei family are all in their hometown in Beihai County.

Cao Ruicen suppressed his tears, sobbed twice, and said: "He is a Tingyu in Chang'an County, Beihai County. My uncle is the magistrate of Chang'an County. I stayed with my aunt in Chang'an County for a few days, and I was killed by Wei Minglang, a disciple. He caught my eye, he thought I was a rare commodity to live in, so he looked for opportunities to tease me, and even after I returned to the capital, he kept writing letters, making me laugh at my girlfriends."

He thought that Wei Minglang, like Wei Mingji, was also a high-ranking official, but a county magistrate, why did he force Guang Luxun's daughter into this position?

Cao Ruicen said again: "My father and my uncle have reprimanded him to stop pestering me, but Wei Minglang, relying on Wei Mingji's power, doesn't take my father's and my uncle's admonitions seriously, and still does his own thing. .”

Chen Xinan took a sip of wine, and said slowly: "Sister Cao's family should stop accusing Wei Minglang of slandering. He is a small official in the county government. How dare he pester you, a daughter of Guang Luxun, and he doesn't have the guts to feed him? It's because you acted indiscreetly, making him think that you are interested in him, and Wei Mingji never asks about his family's affairs, so you don't want to have anything to do with him."

Chen Xinan turned his eyes and looked at Lin Xingwei, "It's useless for Sister Ruicen to talk to Princess Youning about these things. Princess Youning is usually domineering, who dares to ask for marriage? It's hard to meet someone who is willing to marry, even if the Wei family Unbearable, but also willing to marry."

After going back and forth, the topic turned back to Wei Mingji and Lin Xingwei, Lin Xingwei really wanted to curse: Don't mind your business!

Lin Xingwei never thought that he would argue with others because of a man in his lifetime. In his previous life, his mother and child were single, and he devoted himself to his studies. In this life, when he was reborn, he would have an unwilling marriage. Lin Xingwei didn't even care about it. , I didn't expect someone to worry about her so much.

In order for the birthday banquet to be complete and harmonious, Lin Xingwei resisted not calling for someone to beat them out.

Without raising her eyebrows, she stared at the slightly rippling water patterns in the wine glass, and asked in a serious voice: "Is it unbearable if you are a merchant? Didn't you also say that after Wei Mingji and I retire, you marry Wei Mingji?"

This is in the 21st century, who looks down on people who do business?It was too late to entangle and flatter, and Lin Xingwei was also rich.

Now Chen Xinan's face turned purple. She waited for Lin Xingwei to lose her composure in public, but she didn't expect that Lin Xingwei's counter-question made her speak inappropriately.

The girls in the hall all looked at Chen Xinan. The banquet was a good deal. Watching a princess and a county lord argue with each other is also a great anecdote in Beijing, and there will be more conversations after dinner.

Chen Xinan's brains were running fast, and he calmed down quickly, and said: "I never said that the merchants were miserable, it was the girl from the Cao family who disliked the Wei family as merchants, and told everyone not to take it too seriously. I said that I wanted to marry Wei Mingji, so what ? Ask all the girls here, who doesn't like Wei Mingji?"

When Wei Mingji was mentioned, the eyes of all the girls lit up.

"You!..." Cao Ruicen frowned furiously, "When did I say that the merchants are miserable, you are the one who said that the Wei family is miserable!"

Lin Xingwei heaved a long sigh, what's the use of such unnecessary disputes?Merchants are unbearable. Are there no merchants in this world?The Wei family is unbearable. Could it be that the life of the Wei family is over?

Lin Xingwei said: "Xinan county magistrate, Miss Huang, I understand how you feel sorry for General Wei. I went to the Lu residence with my two cousins ​​and met Wei Mingji. That's when I understood what is meant by 'heaven and man'." posture'."

Lin Xingwei touched his own face on purpose, smiled shyly, with an idiot-like expression on his face, and sighed: "I am such an unbearable woman, but General Wei is willing to hire and propose marriage to me, I am really flattered, I only hope to get married soon , and you can enjoy General Wei Sai Panan’s face every day.”

Even though it had been four months since Lin Xingwei had seen him, Lin Xingwei's heart trembled when he thought of the handsome man in the attic of Lu's mansion that day.
