I do fortune-telling in ancient astrology

Chapter 13

Cao Ruicen looked excited, got up immediately, hurried over and sat down beside Lin Xingwei, lowered his voice and asked, "Didn't you look down on Wei Mingji? What happened today, why are you willing to marry again?"

"Who wants to marry?" Lin Xingwei leaned into Cao Ruicen's ear, and whispered, "I deliberately angered Chen Xinan, you didn't see that her nose was crooked by me."

The two girls whispered to each other.

Chen Xinan's face became gloomy, "What are you proud of! It's up to you to say whether or not this relationship will work out!"

"I don't suffer if I succeed or fail." Lin Xingwei said proudly, "If it succeeds, I will marry the most beautiful man in the capital. If it fails, I have nothing to lose, and he will not fall into your hands, Chen Xinan."

Huang Xuan cut secretly, and said: "General Wei never invites guests when he rests at home, and even hides his face when he goes out. You don't want to lie to us here, saying that you have seen General Wei's real face, I'm afraid You haven't even seen a single hair of General Wei."

Huang Xuan hadn't seen it, but Lin Xingwei assured that Chen Xinan must have seen it, and she was so addicted to Wei Mingji's beauty that she couldn't extricate herself, otherwise her face wouldn't be so gloomy at the moment.

Lin Xingwei asked mockingly: "How did you know that General Wei never invites guests? Did you squat at his door?"

"I..." Huang Xuan was momentarily at a loss for words, "I heard that..."

Lin Xingwei immediately raised his hand, "I heard that there are countless things to do!"

Huang Xuan blinked his eyes, didn't know how to respond for a while, dumbed his mouth, and shrank behind Chen Xinan.

Cao Ruicen's arrogance came up again, and he raised his voice and said: "The Lin family is celebrating Grandpa Lin's birthday. The county master of Xinan came to the banquet and didn't see you going to see Grandpa Lin. Instead, he was aggressive and questioning about the marriage between Princess Youning and Wei Mingji. Why do you care?"

He said again: "Whether Wei Mingji comes to the Lin family or not, what does it have to do with you? We don't know that Wei Mingji is busy, even though he didn't come, the birthday gift has already been delivered."

Chen Xinan glared at Cao Ruicen, and said, "If you don't want to meet General Wei, who would come to Lin's house for a drink!"

"It turned out to be like this. When I came to my house that day, I swore that you would marry Wei Mingji after I divorced. I didn't expect that you hadn't even seen General Wei!" Lin Xing said with a smile.

She put her hands on her hips, and continued to ask: "Did I invite you? I personally wrote the invitations for every household at today's banquet. Why don't I remember your name, Chen Xinan, Yingchuan Palace?"

Lin Xingwei does not cause trouble, but she is not afraid of trouble. She can be virtuous and respectful, but if someone provokes her for no reason, she is not afraid of being said to be domineering.

"You... I, I, Yingchuan Prince's Mansion, can come to your Nanyang Hou Mansion for a banquet. It's for your face. Don't give me shame." Chen Xinan's face flushed instantly, and many girls around her began to whisper in surprise. whisper.

"Master Youning didn't invite the Lord of Xinan County? Then why is she here?"

"The two families don't have much to do with each other. It would be strange if they were invited."

"Yeah, seeing the Xinan County Lord appearing in the Nanyang Marquis Mansion today, I thought the two families had a very close relationship."

……

Lin Xingwei said coldly: "Who cares about your family's face? Don't put gold on your face, you have broken the etiquette for coming uninvited, and you scolded me at my family's big banquet, and provoked me and my future husband-in-law. Relationship, Yingchuan Palace is really a good tutor!"

She looked around at the girls who were whispering, and said again: "If you eat in a proper manner today, I will treat you Chen Xinan as a distinguished guest. If you provoke and find fault, be careful and I will beat you out! I have a reputation for domineering, You also know that I am not vegetarian."

"My father is a military commander, am I still afraid that you will fail?" Chen Xinan knew that he couldn't justify his mistakes, so he started fighting for his father again.

Lin Xingwei admits defeat at this point, she can't fight her father, her father died long ago, so she will fight other things.

Rolling up her sleeves and akimbo, she stepped forward and said, "My queen's niece is still afraid of you as the daughter of a general? If you don't accept it, let's have a competition in the open area of ​​the back garden, which will just show off your demeanor as the daughter of a general!"

Chen Xinan originally wanted to embarrass Lin Xingwei in public and spread a lot of bad reputation, but the current situation is not good for him. Others will no longer say how hateful Lin Xingwei is, but will say that she, Chen Xinan, provoked first, and she was persuaded.

Huang Xuan murmured in Chen Xinan's ear: "Since General Wei is not coming today, let's go. The day will be long, and we will find a suitable opportunity to deal with her in the future."

Although it was a muttering, every word fell into Lin Xingwei's ears. Lin Xingwei stared at Huang Xuan and asked, "Who do you want to punish?"

Huang Xuan took a step back in shock.

Lin Xingwei continued to say to Chen Xinan: "I don't care about General Wei at all. If the Xinan County Lord admires him, I can give him to you. King Yingchuan and General Wei are both military generals. They are in the same family, just right!"

"Who said I want to marry General Wei? I just... I came to the Hou Mansion that day just to see if you are sincere to General Wei!"

Chen Xinan couldn't keep face. Lin Xingwei and Wei Mingji were married under the premise of Majesty. No one knew that if it was spread that she also admired Wei Mingji, it would definitely cause gossip and incidents and embarrass her father. Therefore, even if she admired her, she couldn't say it out loud.

"I said this place is more lively than the main living room? What are you talking about?" A middle-aged woman's voice sounded at the door.

When everyone looked back, it was Mrs. Pei, the third wife of the Lin family, who had arrived.

Lin Xing glanced secretly at Yun Zhu who was following Mrs. Pei, and blamed her for inviting Third Aunt here only now.

Yun Zhu hurriedly ran behind Lin Xingwei, knelt down, and whispered in her ear: "There are so many female relatives in that chamber, the third lady couldn't leave, and the maid waited for a long time before speaking to the third lady."

Everyone faced each other in embarrassment, and the room was silent for a while.

Huang Xuan was about to open his mouth to speak, but Cao Ruicen said first, "My junior, please greet Mrs. Pei..."

"Ah, why is Miss Cao's make-up crying? What's the matter?" Mrs. Pei took out a brocade handkerchief and wiped the tears on Cao Ruicen's face with great pity.

Cao Ruicen explained how Chen Xinan and Huang Xuan provoked each other, Lin Xingwei kept nodding at the side, Huang Xuan tried many times to intervene to refute, and when there was no time to talk, the two parties almost quarreled again.

Mrs. Pei laughed lightly, "What am I supposed to do, just because of General Wei? You little girls, why are you arguing over a man like that?"

He added: "General Wei is young and talented. It's not surprising that young girls admire him, but General Wei has already entered into a marriage contract with the princess of our family. If someone provokes you so openly, anyone will be angry. You say yes? Isn't it, Xinan county lord?"

Chen Xinan's face was like the bottom of a pot, he didn't answer, his chest rose and fell, obviously he couldn't hold back.

Huang Xuan gave Lin Xingwei a hard look, and muttered, "Didn't you say you don't want to marry? If you're looking for death and life, you're going to smash the dowry, so it's rare that you'll go to General Wei, hypocritical!"

If it weren't for the presence of the elders, Lin Xingwei would have uttered abusive words and scolded classics.

Mrs. Pei looked at Huang Xuan and asked: "My father, Captain Huang, once offered a message to General Wei, saying that he would let his daughter be a concubine to serve General Wei. How many daughters do you have in your family? Are you talking about it?"

Huang Xuan was startled for a while.

Cao Ruicen let out a chuckle, "Is there such a secret? No wonder you just said that Wei Mingji never invites guests when he takes a bath. How did you know that? It turns out that your family has investigated Wei Mingji carefully."

Another girl at the table covered her mouth and snickered: "It's not because of careful investigation, it's because the visit was rejected, that's why she knew that General Wei doesn't accept visitors casually."

"It's not that I don't see customers, it's that I don't see customers from the Huang family."

There was a burst of laughter in the hall...

Lin Xingwei said sarcastically, "My family doesn't welcome visitors casually, and I won't take a good look at people who come here uninvited and make provocative remarks."

Not only was Chen Xinan's face as black as the bottom of a pot, but his neck was even reddened, and his two thick bones were bulging, as if someone had strangled his throat, making him speechless.

Huang Xuan pulled Chen Xinan's sleeve timidly, Chen Xinan turned angrily and stepped out of the auditorium, Huang Xuan followed closely, followed by a group of servants who gradually disappeared from Lin Xingwei's vision.

This unnecessary quarrel was finally over, and the girls in the hall laughed non-stop, whispering about all the people and things related to Wei Mingji.

This debate made Lin Xingwei sober for three minutes, and he didn't feel drunk, and felt refreshed.

Mrs. Pei walked to Lin Xingwei's side, and said quietly, "Go down and rest for a while, I'll take care of you here."

She really shouldn't stay and listen to these girls laughing at Chen Xinan, she seemed a little gloating.

Lin Xingwei left the banquet hall under the pretext of changing clothes.

The third aunt is a concubine from an aristocratic family in a small place. She has learned to read people's faces since she was a child, and she has learned to be fluent in all aspects. She also likes to joke with little girls and boys on weekdays, so she is naturally closer than Lin Xingwei sitting here.

Just as Lin Xingwei walked out of the banquet hall, she didn't know what the third aunt said, but there was a group of girls giggling and giggling inside, and she had already forgotten the gossip scene just now.
