Chapter 26 Reaching a Cooperative Consensus
When Lin Xingwei was still faintly worried about her marriage with Wei Mingji, two days later Wei Mingji visited the Nanyang Marquis Mansion in person by exchanging gifts from the year before, and the inseparable Zuoqiuzhi behind him had been replaced by a young general named Bao Shang with a face hidden.

Mrs. Hou kept a cold face the whole time, making the second uncle and third uncle who were accompanying them very embarrassed. They didn't know whether they should laugh at General Wei or talk to General Wei.

This is Wei Mingji's first visit to Nanyang Marquis Mansion since the marriage negotiation.Mrs. He originally wanted to prepare a sumptuous meal for the future son-in-law of the Lin family, but was stopped by Mrs. Hou.

Therefore, the meals are simple and pitiful, not even as home-cooked.

Lin Xingwei sat in the last seat and ate the small fruit on the desk, listening quietly without making a sound, waiting for what Wei Mingji had to say.

Wei Mingji was wearing a long stone-colored bamboo-patterned gown with a hibiscus red cross-collar, with the same demeanor and a gentle complexion. The mask was placed on the dining table.

He took the initiative to say: "The younger generation has never visited the Nanyang Marquis Mansion because of his busy schedule. During the New Year's Eve, my mother sent a gift from Beihai County, and I specially asked the younger generation to send it to my future mother-in-law."

Lin Xingwei frowned at the sound of "future mother-in-law". It seems that she should move her chess piece on the chessboard where Wei Mingji and the queen are playing.

Mrs. Hou's face was cold, and she said sonorously: "Mrs. Fang has a heart. General Wei is in the capital, so he doesn't even bother to visit my house. Mrs. Fang is far away in Beihai County, and she knows how to bring a festival gift to my family. It's really hard work."

Mrs. Fang is Wei Mingji's biological mother, the Wei family is also the third wife, and Wei Mingji is the second wife.

"The younger generation is ashamed!" Wei Mingji said with shame on his lips, his expression was very calm, without the slightest hint of shame, he said again: "Everything in the Shangdu Mansion is subject to His Majesty's arrangements, and many things cannot be decided by the younger generation. I also invite Mrs. Nanyang Marquis and Youning Forgive me, princess."

Lin Xingwei snickered inwardly.

Since you want to get married with someone, you should show an attitude of wanting to get married.He usually ignored the Lin family, and his subordinates were disrespectful to the Lin family, as if she, Lin Xingwei, could not get married except him.

They don't know that toads with two legs are hard to find, and men with two legs are everywhere, so no one cares about them.

I think of another female classmate of hers before, her boyfriend usually followed each other, gave gifts during festivals, and usually treated guests to dinner. It's good to come out.

Lin Xingwei thought that her appearance was not bad, and Chen Xinan and Huang Xuan could get the word "beautiful" from their mean mouths, presumably it fit the current people's aesthetic standards.

Although the Lin family is small in size, their family background is fairly solid, and she can be considered capable and motivated. With such looks, such skills and such a family background, it is not difficult to choose a son-in-law who is willing to live a good life.

With Lin Xingwei's experience in the past six months, his previous bad reputation has improved a lot.

Therefore, the Lin family never thought of currying favor with the celebrity in front of His Majesty, a high-ranking official with countless names, let alone marrying him.

He didn't go to the Lin family's door, and the Lin family didn't go to the Wei family's house. Except for the time when Lin Xingwei and his two elder brothers went to the Lu residence to thank and apologize to Wei Mingji, and they were humiliated and rejected, they never went there again.

Even this time Wei Mingji was successful in solving the case, and the imperial court renewed his official position, the Lin family didn't know it at all, even after hearing about it later, they didn't send a congratulatory gift.

Closer to home, with regard to this marriage, the two parties reached a consensus amid embarrassment: the marriage will not be withdrawn, but the date of the engagement banquet will be held when Wei Mingji is free. The biological parents are invited to the capital together.

The Lin family had no objection, Madam Hou only made one request. After getting married, she wanted Lin Xingwei to stay in the capital and not go back to Beihai County with Gu Qiang. Wei Mingji immediately agreed.

This "time when he is free" is far away. He will investigate important cases for His Majesty, and he will go to the battlefield when the barbarians are making trouble, and he will be injured when he comes back. In short, he will always be busy, forever. None are available.

This time, Wei Mingji was not as rude as before, but he was not as intimate as imagined.

Wei Mingji still had a sullen face, occasionally nodding slightly to Lin Xing.

This is also very good, Lin Xingwei didn't have expectations of him at all, and she felt a little regretful not to resign.

She couldn't help herself in everything, and she didn't bother to ask Wei Mingji what was in his mind.

Lin Huaifeng winked at Lin Xingwei, and said, "Ran Ran, you haven't said anything for a long time, so if you have any ideas, come up now."

Finally it was her turn to speak, she put down the fruit in her hands, patted the fruit oil on her hands, looked at Wei Mingji, and said seriously:
"General Wei, I know you have to marry me, and I have to marry you. Both of us can't help ourselves, and we can be regarded as sympathetic. In the future, no one will show embarrassment to the other, and no one It’s not fun to find someone, we can do our own things happily, live our lives without disturbing each other, and don’t complain to each other, okay?”

After finishing a long paragraph in one breath, Lin Xingwei let out a long breath, and fixedly stared at Wei Mingji with expectant little eyes.

Wei Mingji was obviously taken aback. He hadn't thought about how to treat Lin Xingwei properly after he got married. He didn't have any real feelings for her, let alone hypocrisy and obedience. He didn't expect Princess Ning to have the same idea as him.

Although the elders of the Lin family are still here, Wei Mingji can't agree to her "unreasonable" request in front of the elders, so he can only smile perfunctorily:
"It's all because I'm busy, and I don't have time to walk around with Princess Youning to cultivate feelings. I will definitely take good care of the princess in the future. As for after marriage, the princess's inside and mine outside, we can be regarded as complementing each other."

I believe you ghost!I don't have time to walk around to cultivate feelings, so I can coax ghosts!
Lin Xingwei cursed inwardly, the last time she and her cousins ​​took the initiative to come to him to win over him, but he didn't let them sit in the room for a while, and even scolded her for having epilepsy, what a waste of the big cart his mother had prepared present.

Lin Xingwei can remember this enmity for a lifetime, even if Wei Mingji changes his mind and wants to be a loving couple with her in the future, she will remember it for a lifetime.

The two uncles were very helpful to Wei Mingji's words, and the second uncle gave Lin Xing a little face, asking her to treat Wei Mingji better.

Mrs. Hou doesn't have a good complexion, the current coping is only temporary, and the days to come will last. Is Wei Mingji still willing to fool around like this?

The matter was almost finished, maybe Wei Mingji couldn't sit still because of Mrs. Hou's scorching eyes, and offered to go for a walk in the courtyard alone with Lin Xingwei.

Lin Xingwei put the brazier in the room so that it could not be roasted, wrapped in a fleece cloak, shivering from the cold, and followed Wei Mingji for a walk around the pond in the backyard.

She finally realized the embarrassment of a blind date.

In the past, when they watched TV dramas, they could even ask each other about their family background and work on a blind date.

When it comes to work, Wei Mingji's business is kept secret, so he can't easily talk to unrelated people. Lin Xingwei is at home waiting to get married, so he can't talk about it. Even if some parents are short-sighted, Wei Mingji probably won't be interested in listening to it. It's really boring.

Walking around the pond in the backyard, it was really awkward, Lin Xingwei couldn't hold back, and said: "I think General Wei has a lot of favors to move around during the New Year's Day, General Wei, please come back."

Wei Mingji turned around and stood opposite Lin Xingwei, with a soft voice: "You are much more stable today than in the past."

Cut, Lin Xingwei sneered inwardly, you are not at my house every day, how do you know if I am domineering or steady?

"Here's this for you." Wei Mingji took off half of the jade from his waist, took Lin Xingwei's hand, and put it in her palm, "You and I haven't exchanged tokens of love yet, so keep the other half for me. This half is for you. You can also give me a personal accessory."

Lin Xingwei stared at Wei Mingji in a daze, feeling the coldness coming from his hands, and couldn't accept Wei Mingji's sudden and huge change for a moment. In fact, there is no need for such a strong relationship between them. Anyway, they are ruthless to each other, and they exchange some tokens of love.

"Isn't it already hired? Why, why do you need to exchange tokens?" Lin Xingwei asked stutteringly.

Wei Mingji said solemnly: "The dowry is for your family, and the token is for each other personally."

There is such a saying?Lin Xingwei frowned, she was even more sure and certain that Wei Mingji was the one with epilepsy.

Contradictory words and deeds, sometimes cold and sometimes enthusiastic, and people can't figure out their thoughts.

In order not to destroy the cooperation consensus reached with great difficulty, Lin Xingwei reluctantly took off a string of green glazed beads from his wrist and gave it to Wei Mingji.

Wei Mingji took the bead string, bowed slightly to salute Lin Xingwei, then turned and strode away, his movements were clean and neat, without sloppiness.

How can this be an exchange of tokens of love, like a debt collection, take it and leave, and people will shake hands and say "happy cooperation" after signing the contract!

Lin Xingwei looked at the back of Wei Mingji's resolute departure, and then looked at the half piece of jade in his hand, wishing he could use it to smash a hole in the ice in the pond, it really blinded her green glass beads.

Cursing "I'm sick" in my heart, I turned back and went back to my small courtyard.

Mrs. Lin expressed his opinion on Wei Mingji's initiative to come to the door to urge the progress of the marriage this time, and he greatly appreciated Mrs. Nanyang Hou, saying that if the eldest daughter-in-law hadn't discounted Zuoqiuzhi's legs, she would send Wei Mingji a message. Well, Wei Mingji still thinks our Lin family is weak and can be bullied.
