I do fortune-telling in ancient astrology

Chapter 34
On the eighteenth day of the first lunar month, Wei Mingji picked up his biological parents from Beihai County, and the speed was astonishingly fast.According to the eldest cousin, it takes half a month to travel from the capital to Beihai County, and it takes ten days to travel quickly.

And Wei Mingji wanted someone to send a letter to Wei's father and Wei's mother. Wei's father and Wei's mother had to pack their bags and set off again. It would take more than 20 days to get to the capital.

And Wei Mingji said that the day when he wanted to get married after the Lantern Festival was the sixth day of the first lunar month, even if he planned to notify Wei's father and Wei mother immediately, it would only be twelve short days.

On the twentieth day of the first lunar month, Wei's father and Wei's mother accompanied Wei Mingji's Lu family's adoptive parents to formally visit the Nanyang Marquis Mansion. Although they were merchants, they were courteous.

There were [-] large carts for presenting gifts to the Nanyang Marquis Mansion alone, and it took half a day for the servants in the whole mansion to unload the goods. Madam Hou had nowhere to put them for a while, so some of them were put in the warehouse, and some were placed in the back yard.

According to Wei's father, Wei Mingji's dowry was too little at the beginning, and now he makes up for it.

What is a wealthy family? This is a wealthy family. Poverty really limits Lin Xingwei's imagination.Ah no, the Hou Mansion is not poor either, but the wealth situation is far inferior to that of the Wei family.

Not to mention the presents from Wei's parents, even Wei Mingji's presents during festivals, even if Mrs. Hou sent them back many times, they were not as valuable as the other party.

One more thing, Lin Xingwei still hasn't figured out how Wei Mingji became the adopted son of General Lu Yi. How did you get acquainted?

As far as Lin Xingwei knew, General Lu Yi had no shortage of sons. Mrs. Lu gave birth to three sons, and two concubines gave birth to two sons each. The older one had entered the military camp to guard the frontier, and the younger one was still in school.

Mrs. Hou didn't know much about this matter. She only knew that General Lu Yi went to Beihai County ten years ago and brought a ten-year-old boy with him to be trained in the army.

When the boy was 15 years old, His Majesty established the Shangdu Mansion, and the boy became the envoy of the Shangdu Mansion, and then took on a series of official positions, many of which were false titles. Until the end of last year, the boy had a formal military position again: General Zuo Zhonglang He is also a general of Yubayashi Zhonglang, with a rank and salary of two thousand stones.

As soon as he entered the banquet hall, Lin Xingwei observed all the guests carefully, especially the Wei couple.

Mrs. Fang was chubby, her neck was invisible, and her chin rested on her chest.There are two jade bracelets on the right wrist, and five jade bracelets on the left wrist. All the jade bracelets are of different colors. Even the long sleeves cannot hide the brilliance of the jade bracelets.

On Madam Fang's chest lay a gold pendant as big as the rim of a cup, and the hairpin on her head was richer than that of the queen.The eyebrows are slender and long into the temples, the eyes are slits, and they are not as wide as her eyebrows when opened, and the mouth is small and the lips are red.Dressed in a long red tapestry dress, she was more gorgeously dressed than Lin Xingwei, the bride-to-be.

Lin Xingwei wore a vermilion cherry red Zhang satin dress today, and a unicorn blue plain gauze gown.The hair is tied up in a high bun, and a golden phoenix head is inserted horizontally in the bun. Standing in the sun, it is shining golden. Around the neck is a necklace with a gold inlaid jade unicorn animal head, and two mandarin duck jade pendants are hung on the waist. Nobility.

In order to meet her father's aunt in the future, she had already dressed richly and regally. Madam Hou used all her dowry to match these, but she still lost some color in front of Mrs. Fang.

As the saying goes, a dragon begets a dragon, and a phoenix begets a phoenix. Lin Xingwei couldn't figure out how such a mother gave birth to the handsome Wei Mingji.

The adoptive mother, Mrs. Lu, dresses up very elegantly, beautiful and intelligent.Wearing a crimson curvy train, a white jade-colored cloak was worn over it, and there were no more than two jade hairpins on the topknot.She looks soft and speaks softly, not like a general's wife.

The last time she was in the Lu residence, Lin Xingwei felt that Mrs. Lu was extremely amiable.

Wei Mingji is also gorgeously dressed today, with a pomegranate red auspicious cloud pattern on the right lapel collar and a turquoise blue lower skirt, with a smile on his face, bright and gorgeous.

Wei's father was dressed in green pine green, his face looked a bit older than General Lu Yi's, his features were small, and his appearance had nothing to do with Wei Mingji's.

General Lu Yi was only dressed in a light emerald green gown, with a sword at his waist, with a serious expression on his face, not angry and majestic.

In addition to Mrs. Hou, there were two uncles and aunts in the hall, and the two cousins ​​were also sitting opposite Wei Mingji.

"Junior Lin Xingwei met General Lu, Mrs. Lu, Master Wei, Mrs. Fang, General Wei, mother, two uncles, two aunts, two cousins..." Lin Xingwei saluted and called out everyone in the hall over and over.

"Well, sit here." Madam Hou looked calm, and pointed to the seat on her right.

Mrs. Fang kept staring at Lin Xingwei, smiling so hard that he couldn't see the slits in his eyes, and said in a loud voice, "This is the future daughter-in-law of my Erlang, Princess Ning. She is so beautiful. It's really a fairy descending from the earth, no wonder my son wants to get married so quickly."

"Erlang?" Lin Xingwei couldn't help looking at Wei Mingji who was opposite him. Is he the second child?How many brothers does he have?Lin Xingwei couldn't help frowning, she knew too little about Wei Mingji's situation, she only knew that she was going to get married soon.

Mrs. Fang laughed, and said: "Yes, he is my family's Erlang. I have two sons with his father. The eldest, Mingxu and Mingji, are twins. The second son looks normal. When we came to the capital, we wanted to take him with him. The boss came together, but my Dalang Lianjia didn't want to go far away, so he didn't follow."

Oh, Lin Xingwei nodded silently.

Mrs. Fang looked at Wei Mingji angrily again, and said: "Erlang is the same. Since he is discussing marriage with the princess, he should explain the details of our family to Mrs. Hou and the princess. How can we let Mrs. Hou and the princess connect with us? Nobody knows about it, it's your fault."

Wei Mingji nodded, cupped his hands and said: "My child is busy with military affairs, and the marriage is in a hurry, so I haven't had time to tell Mrs. Hou and the Princess the details of our family."

Mrs. Hou is not interested in the sons of the Wei family, and it is impossible for her daughter to go back to Beihai County with them after she gets married in the future. It will not be too late to learn these insignificant details in the future.

Madam Hou said coldly: "Yes, General Wei proposed hastily, and the wedding can only be held briefly."

Mrs. Fang let out a loud laugh, the Qingsong Hall is already grand, but her laughter actually evoked an echo.

Mrs. Fang said loudly: "Don't worry, Mrs. Nanyang Marquis. How could our Wei family hold the wedding ceremony so simply? Ever since my son performed the crowning ceremony, I have started preparing these for the old woman, just to prevent it from being so hasty like today. Old woman, I had the foresight to put everything to good use.”

Mrs. Lu also said: "That's right, Mingji has been marching and fighting outside these few years, and he can't take care of his own life-long affairs. Aren't our elders worrying about him?"

He also said: "The house in the back of the palace that His Majesty rewarded, I have been sending people to clean it all the time, and recently I have replaced some furniture, painted a new one, everything is in order, just wait for Princess Ning to marry there .”

Listening to Mrs. Lu's speech, Fang nodded frequently.

　Occasionally there will be a red envelope drop!
