I do fortune-telling in ancient astrology

Although Mrs. Ouyang and Mrs. Hou still communicated freely, she didn't dare to ask more about Lin Xingwei's marriage. The news she heard from the sidelines was enough to make her heartache for a while. If it came from Mrs. Hou's mouth again, it would hurt her even more. pit of heart.

One wrong step, every step wrong, Cao Yi now has a lot of wives and concubines, and chose a different path to enter the official career, but Master Cao Rong often blamed Yaoer in front of Mrs. Ouyang, thinking that Cao Yi's behavior was dirty, not only did not honor the lintel, but instead Lost the face of the Cao family.

Master Cao was so angry that he didn't even want to cancel this year's Sydney banquet, saying that he couldn't afford to lose this person.

But Cao Yilang is not the only one, the whole family pointed to this Sydney banquet to make friends with the powerful, and to return their anger, the banquet that should be held still has to be held.

"Master You Ning!" The eldest princess smiled and waved to Lin Xingwei, "Come and sit with me, it's so nice to chat with elders."

Lin Xingwei looked up at his mother, Madam Hou nodded, Lin Xingwei put down the chopsticks in his hand, and sat obediently beside the eldest princess.

The eldest princess said: "Today is Ah Ji's big day, so don't sit there and show off."

She didn't even say a word, why did she get in the limelight?
Lin Xing curled his lips slightly, took an empty wine glass, scooped up the wine, and took a sip. The taste was not too sweet, but very mellow.

The unhappiness just disappeared in an instant, Lin Xingwei smiled at the Eldest Princess holding up the wine glass: "The wine prepared by the Prime Minister's House is really delicious, won't the Eldest Princess try it?"

The eldest princess said west, and Lin Xingwei answered east. The eldest princess poked the cotton with a knife. Seeing Lin Xingwei's indifferent appearance, she said angrily, "I've already tasted it!"

Lin Xingwei took another sip happily, and said with a smile: "I have participated in so many banquets, and the wine at the prime minister's house is the best. Even the wine when I was engaged to the general last time was not as good! I don't know if it is the prime minister. The wine brewed by the master winemaker at home is still the wine sold outside."

The third princess on the side said: "The princess doesn't know, right? This is the wine that the prime minister has kept privately. It has been buried in the wine cellar for more than ten years, and Mr. Yuan is willing to take it out to entertain him because of his engagement."

"Old wine cellar, it's really good!" Lin Xingwei praised, and drank the remaining circle of wine in the wine glass in one gulp.

The third princess laughed when she saw this, "The princess should eat vegetables, General Wei is not here, no one will carry you back when you are drunk."

Lin Xingwei stretched out her hand to touch her flushed face, pursed her lips and smiled, and said, "I don't want him to carry it. I can go back by myself rather than relying on others." She frowned, "I have a carriage."

The eldest princess remained silent while the third princess smiled and said, "Princess Youning is really cute."

At the male guest's table separated by a screen, drums and music blared, the dancer danced slowly with her graceful waist twisted, and Lin Xingwei stretched her neck to look around.

It was only because of the screen that it blocked her, so she could only vaguely see the stars.

The eldest princess finally had a smiling face, and said in a strange way: "The prime minister's mansion really invested a lot of money in order to marry A Ji. It is said that the actors in Jingshuilou are too expensive to pay, but you look at this prime minister's mansion, and directly hired a team." Come here, do you know how much money it will cost?"

"Some people often tell people how extravagant and rich the engagement banquet hosted by their future husband is, but there is not even a drum and music, and the guests eat in a deserted manner and all disperse, and it is not lively at all."

After Lin Xingwei listened, she realized that some of the people the eldest princess said were referring to her.

When she and Wei Mingji got engaged, they hired drummers, but they were not from Jingshuiloutai, Mrs. Fang hired them.

The dishes are already very extravagant, and it will cost even more to hire expensive drum music. Lin Xingwei is afraid that others will criticize Wei Mingji, so he is a little frugal.

Lin Xingwei pretended not to understand, and only drank with the third princess and the girls next to her.

As the drums swelled, Yuan Cheng and several male guests on the opposite side also held chopsticks in one hand and wine glasses in the other, beating and jumping for joy, and the female guests also laughed happily.

The third princess said in a cold voice: "As expected of Mr. Yuan's family, he has been in the entertainment venue for a long time and has a lot of knowledge. Eldest sister, princess, look, Mr. Yuan dances better than those actors!"

Lin Xingwei couldn't help looking at Su Ji who was still surrounded by girls in the distance. Everyone was very happy, but she was the only one who was unhappy, as if the hilarious drum dance had nothing to do with her.

The eldest princess also saw it, and said casually: "Everyone in the world has their own appearance, Mr. Yuan's family background is worthy of her, who is unhappy on the big day?"

"If you have the ability, you can tie your lord to yourself every day, so that he won't go out to hang out, but you will despise your lord for being worthless, and you will never be satisfied."

Lin Xingwei restrained her smile, and thought to herself, if she were to marry Yuan Cheng, she would probably not only be unhappy, but also go crazy.

I once heard my second uncle mention that Yuan Cheng not only opened a trick shop and casino, but also secretly sold armaments. He was investigated several times by the Tingwei Mansion.

The second uncle was working in the prime minister's mansion, and he knew that there were a lot of private affairs in the prime minister's house, and many disasters were caused by Yuan Cheng. Either the prime minister covered it up, or the adults in the court didn't dare to touch Yuan Cheng and let it go.

The drum music was in full swing, Yuan Cheng suddenly fell to the ground as if he was drunk, a figure in white rushed out of the dance team like lightning, floated out of the banquet hall and walked on the courtyard wall.

The crowd didn't realize what was going on, the drumming, dancing, hilarious and laughing didn't stop.

Lin Xingwei was still wondering where the Yuan family hired such a powerful actor, that figure floated like a fairy and like a ghost, flexible and weak, and when he looked up for a while, he was gone.

"Blood, blood, Mr. Yuan is dead!" Suddenly there was a shrill cry, and the sound of drums and music stopped abruptly.

Mrs. Yuan hurriedly got up and rushed over. The female relatives here still didn't know what happened, but they heard those calling for the doctor calling for the doctor, and those calling for the reporter calling for the reporter. There were all kinds of noisy sounds, and the guests scattered and flee.

Yuan Jiaerlang also led a group of government soldiers to chase them out.

"Go, go back soon!" The eldest princess shouted in a low voice, and the third princess also got up, and the maidservants behind her all hurried away behind her.

The banquet hall was full of chaos, Lin Xingwei was still looking for his mother, she yelled twice, but no one answered her.

In the chaos, she stood there at a loss, and stretched out a hand to pull her out of the crowd, and tore away the empty side hall.

It was only then that Lin Xingwei realized that it was Cao Yi. Cao Yi let go of Lin Xingwei panting, and said, "Teacher Su and Mr. Su have already taken Mrs. Nanyang Hou and the Su family out."

"I heard they said they didn't see you, so I came to look for it. I saw that the two princesses had already left. Why are you still here?"

"I'm looking for my mother." Lin Xingwei said a little anxiously.

"...I'll take you through the back door of the Prime Minister's Mansion, follow me!" Cao Yi subconsciously grabbed Lin Xingwei's hand, but she gently dodged it.

Cao Yi smiled awkwardly, "I'll go ahead, just follow me closely."

The two walked around the backyard of the Prime Minister's mansion one after the other, and went out through the back door. A black painted carriage was waiting at the door.
