Chapter 42 I Heard Someone Deliberately Seduced My Groom
Princess Yingchuan saw that the situation was not right, she hurriedly smiled and said: "It is not surprising that Princess Youning has a prejudice against my family Xinan, who made Xinan offend Princess Youning before, but it involves the reputation of her husband, from now on If you have a misunderstanding, please ask in private, and don't speak it out in a grand manner."

Everyone wanted to cover up for Wei Mingji, who cared about Lin Xingwei.She didn't plan to make a big fuss, but she just felt that this bowl of raw rice made her choke and vomit.

Lin Xingwei asked loudly: "Since she is serving General Wei's maidservant, do you need Lu Shixiu to send it out from the back door of the garden in a sneaky way? Fortunately, I thought Mrs. Lu's words were elegant and trustworthy before, and I wanted to show filial piety to you after marriage. You take me for a fool."

Mrs. Lu's lie was exposed, and her face darkened instantly.

Except that the men's room was still jovial, the women's room was silent, Mrs. Fang's face had turned into a dignified face, and no matter how luxurious her clothes and jewelry were, she couldn't shine under the chandelier anymore.

After a long while, Princess Yingchuan said: "Even if General Wei met a woman privately, so what? He is a man and a general. Is it okay to keep you as a woman after marriage?"

Lin Xingwei covered her mouth and smiled stupidly for a long while, then said: "Princess Yingchuan is really high-spirited. Whose groom do you see rushing to take concubines on the day of their wedding? The female relatives who can come to Wei's wedding banquet are either rich or expensive, and they are not fireworks girls. How can you just barge into the study of the groom's official, and I heard that he's still wearing flamboyant and flimsy clothes, trying to seduce him!"

Chen Xinan's complexion was ashen, the hand holding the wine glass trembled slightly, and Princess Yingchuan's words stuck in her throat.

Chen Xinan suddenly burst into tears and said: "Madam Lu, please find out the servant girl who served General Wei, otherwise I have been wronged too much, and I have been misunderstood by Princess Youning time and time again. How can I stay in the capital from now on?"

Lin Xingwei smiled inwardly, turned to look at Mrs. Lu, and said: "This girl is five feet tall, twenty-eight years old, and has a good temperament. She wears a goose-yellow gauze skirt, a red hooded coat, a beautiful face, and a pleasant temperament. Mrs. Lu Go find it."

Someone suddenly said: "General Wei's servant girls are really tall, they are all five feet tall."

The height of five feet is only 1.6 meters [-], and it is only a normal height for sixteen or seventeen years old. However, the maidservants of Xungui's family are generally around ten years old, and no matter how old they are, they cannot exceed fourteen.

In the year of Jiji, the maidservant is going to get married. Either she will be redeemed by her mother's family, or she will be taken care of by the master's family to marry a male servant in the house. If the height of five feet is placed on a woman who is thirteen or fourteen, that is "Giant" too.

The corners of Madam Lu's mouth twitched, she didn't dare to speak anymore.What she just said has been exposed by Lin Xingwei. With her height, size, clothes and appearance, she can tell that Lin Xingwei has followed what Chen Xinan said. Where else can she find a young woman who is nearly five feet tall and has a good temperament.

Originally, she wanted to cover up for her adopted son and round his face, but now she turned into slapping herself in the face. Mrs. Lu regretted the lie just now.Facing all the nobles and relatives, she couldn't get rid of her face, but she couldn't leave the scene angrily.

Mrs. Fang grinned for a while, wanting to speak, but did not dare to express her emotions in front of a group of nobles, so she persuaded after patience: "Master Youning don't talk anymore, let Erlang explain to you in person after the banquet is over."

During the dinner, a lady said softly: "It's too late, the adults are still chatting over there, so we'll go back first."

Someone suggested that all the female family members who had nothing to do with the matter get up and leave the stage together, but they didn't dare to listen anymore, it's not good for their family to get involved in Wei Mingji's right and wrong.

Lin Xingwei nodded to these sensible wives and girls to express his gratitude.

"Don't wait for your father, let's go too." With a dark face, Princess Yingchuan got up and pulled Chen Xinan to leave.

"Concubine Yingchuan and the Lord of Xinan County, please wait. If you don't clarify this matter today, I'm afraid it will damage the reputation of the Yingchuan Palace." Lin Xingwei's serious face made the hearts of the mother and daughter of Yingchuan Princess jump.

As Lin Xingwei said, he winked at Luo Fu at the door, and when the other female guests had finished leaving, Luo Fu led the dog to the stage and blocked Princess Yingchuan and Chen Xinan's way, Mao Mao and Shi Shi barked at Chen Xinan's mother and daughter in a timely manner twice.

"Hey, why are they all gone? We haven't left yet! Why are there still dogs?" A male guest wearing a sable crown shouted at the female guests.

Wen Lin chuckled and said, "It seems that something happened to the female guests."

Diao Guannan said: "What can happen to a group of women? Regardless of them, let's continue to drink ours. It's rare to have a banquet at General Wei's residence. We must enjoy ourselves!"

Wen Lin glanced sideways at Wei Mingji, who was exchanging cups with King Yingchuan and Crown Prince Su Yi, and said with a slight smile, "Your Excellency is right, if you don't get drunk, you won't return."

No matter how busy Wei Mingji was, he was attracted by the barking of the dog and looked over here.

Mrs. Fang got up and walked down from the seat, sat opposite Lin Xingwei, and persuaded: "Princess, I will definitely ask Erlang to explain to you about today's matter. You can go back to the wedding room and wait, okay?"

Lin Xing smiled slightly, and said: "When the banquet is over, I will have no relatives by my side, and no one will support me to reason."

Lin Xingwei pointed to Su Yi who was opposite, "It happens that my uncle is still here, so let General Wei explain to me in front of my uncle."

"There is Princess Ning!" Madam Lu got down from her seat with a sullen expression, and stood in front of Lin Xingwei, "This is your wedding banquet with Mingji, are you really going to make everyone unhappy?"

"Aren't you guys unhappy? I haven't been happy since yesterday!" Lin Xingwei refuted Mrs. Lu, turned slightly to Mrs. He and said, "Ms. Lao He, go and invite my uncle and King Yingchuan over here."

Mrs. He got up and didn't take a detour through the main entrance, but directly opened the curtain and walked to Su Yi's side, whispering a few words, Su Yi's smile instantly subsided, and he turned his head to look over.

Mrs. Fang was on the verge of crying, and was about to kneel down and beg Lin Xingwei, "Where are you going to put our Wei family's face by making such a fuss?"

Bao Shang approached the curtain, listened carefully through the gap for a while, then turned around and whispered something into Wei Mingji's ear. Wei Mingji immediately put down the wine glass in his hand, got up and smiled at the male guests who were enjoying the feast: "It's already done!" After midnight, it's getting late, I still need a bridal chamber, let's stop here for today, Wei will invite you to drink some other day."

Those who know the current affairs have already put down their wine glasses and got up, and those who are not aware of the current affairs have to wait for a while, and are directly chased away by the servants of the Wei family.

Wen Lin came to the female guests' table first, with a blush on his fair face, and asked in a polite and clear voice, "Who is bullying my righteous sister?"

Wen Lin's eyes fell on Lin Xingwei, no matter how stupid Mrs. Fang and Mrs. Lu were, they would know who the righteous sister he was talking about was.

Mrs. Lu said angrily: "Master Suiwan is careful, Princess Youning is a newlywed, who dares to bully her?"

"Then why are you all surrounding my righteous sister? What are you talking about? Hey, the county lord of Xinan is here too." Wen Lin naturally sat down on the seat next to Lin Xingwei, and handed her a "Yes" I'm here, don't worry" expression.

After the guests had left, Wei Mingji came over with his two fathers, Yingchuan King Chen Rui and Su Yi.

"Ran Ran, you are not staying in the wedding room, why did you come to the wedding? Why did you bring your dog?" Su Yi began to scold Lin Xingwei when he came up.

Lin Xingwei was not timid either. He looked at Madam Lu and said, "Mrs. Lu just said that I made everyone unhappy. Could it be that General Wei made our Lin family unhappy?"

Even though Wei Mingji had been drinking all day, his mind was still clear, knowing that Lin Xingwei was angry because he didn't go to meet him in person, and said: "Is it mine today? I drank too much wine, didn't go to the Marquis's mansion to get married, and didn't marry him at the same time." The princess worships the hall, I can make up with the princess now about the worship."

Lin Xingwei sneered inwardly, and said: "General Wei said it as if he was giving me alms! Did I come after me on horseback just to insist on marrying you and paying homage to you?"

Su Yi said directly: "I took General Wei to drink at noon today, don't blame General Wei."

King Yingchuan shook his drunken body, and said, "Well, I...have a drink with General Wei too, are you blaming us?"

Princess Yingchuan shot King Yingchuan angrily, "Don't say a few words!"

Lin Xing was furious, and unlike these people who were vain and submissive, he stood up and remained silent for a while, and said, "It's a good thing that General Wei didn't come to greet him personally, and it's also fortunate that we didn't visit the hall, otherwise General Wei and Xinan County Mayor would miss out on a good marriage! "

Princess Yingchuan blurted out: "You talk nonsense!"

Lin Xing smiled and said: "Am I talking nonsense, or should I call Lu Shixiu who is in front of General Wei to ask, he personally sent Chen Xinan out of the study, ah, Lu Shixiu would not admit it in order to protect General Wei's face, but my Luofu did not Blind, my dog ​​has a good nose, Luo Fu can recognize the clothes on the woman, and my dog ​​can also distinguish the smell of the woman."

Lin Xingwei walked up to Chen Xinan, and unexpectedly lifted her outer skirt, revealing the goose-yellow gauze skirt inside, and said mockingly: "It's cold, who will show you such beautiful clothes!"

Chen Xinan held back his anger and was speechless.

General Lu Yi closed his eyes and sighed.

How could he not know King Yingchuan's thoughts, he had been coveting Wei Mingji for a long time, openly and secretly, and he dragged Wei Mingji to drink as soon as he came today, his words were full of flattery and flattery, the intention of wooing was very obvious.

After noon, Wei Mingji did not go to the Hou's mansion to greet him in person. Although Lu Yi felt it was wrong, he believed that his adopted son knew what was in his heart and did not care about it.

General Lu Yi said in a cold voice: "Ming Ji, it's about the face of the royal family and your own reputation. You should think it through yourself."

Wei Mingji stretched out his hand to pull Lin Xingwei: "Listen to my explanation."

Chen Xinan looked at Wei Mingji with an aggrieved expression, and silently stood behind him.

Only then did Su Yi feel that the matter was serious. It wasn't his niece who was messing around on purpose. His eyes darkened, and he asked, "What's going on? General Wei, you begged my niece to marry you in front of His Majesty!"

What he was afraid of was not Lin Xingwei's grievance, but that the queen and the crown prince would not be able to win over Wei Mingji, and that the crown prince's future road to the throne would be extremely difficult and dangerous.

Wei Mingji looked at Lin Xingwei with scorching eyes, and said weakly, "Can we find a quiet place to talk alone?"

For some reason, Lin Xingwei's nose was sore, "You didn't come to greet me, I will marry you on my own, I wait for you to come to worship with me, they all say you are drunk, I wait for you to wake up, I wait for you all afternoon, General Wei was nowhere to be seen, so I asked someone to look for it, you and your lords have a drink and talk here, I waited for you for another night, but I heard that General Wei had a private meeting with a beautiful woman in the study..."

Wei Mingji's expression was as forbearing as he could, he couldn't say anything, Ming and Ming were right, he was very good at debating, whether it was the eloquent speakers at Yushitai or the peace talks with the enemies on the frontier, no one could take it from his mouth. to cheap.

When it came to Lin Xingwei, he had no way to argue.

Master Wei went over and slapped his son's strong shoulder, and said angrily, "What did you do again!"

Only then did Wei Mingji speak forcefully: "Things are not as Princess Ning thought, and I have nothing to do with County Lord Xinan!"

"So you admit to having private meetings with other women?" Master Wei pushed Wei Mingji and stomped his feet angrily, "It's okay? Why are you meeting her so well? Do you know who you married today?"

King Yingchuan staggered and sat on an empty seat, breathing alcohol and said: "I should call us here for something. If it's about this, General Wei doesn't have to worry about it. If Princess Ning doesn't marry you, I'm not going to marry you." The king will marry his own daughter to you, and you are the perfect men and women! It’s worth making a fuss if the two of you met in the study and chatted a few words from your heart!"

Princess Yingchuan walked over and picked up a sweet date from the food table and stuffed it into King Yingchuan's mouth, cursing in a low voice: "What nonsense are you talking about, shut up!"

How can a jujube block the mouth of King Yingchuan, King Yingchuan still said: "There is Princess Ning...cut, his father Nanyanghou has no merit, and His Majesty rewarded him for the sake of the Queen and the Taiwei." A title of Marquis of Nanyang, what does General Wei want in her? If he only wants her beauty, then the general is too superficial..."

Wen Lin laughed foolishly, and suddenly said: "Wouldn't it be superficial for the King Yingchuan's family to covet a married man? Ah, it's not superficial, it's shameless, not too soon or too late, let the daughter wear it on the wedding day Shan Bo goes to the groom's official study, Yingchuan Wang's family is as shameless as a city wall."

"You old rascal, what nonsense!" Su Yi couldn't bear it anymore, and went up and kicked King Yingchuan's waist, "You old rascal spoiled my niece's marriage by playing tricks on you, and you will report it to His Majesty tomorrow. Do you have any good fruit to eat, old rascal?"

Wen Lin said again: "I personally experienced this matter today, and when I arrive at the court tomorrow, I will personally impeach King Yingchuan."

Lin Xingwei let out a long sigh, and said: "Uncle, you don't need to sue, and you don't need to impeach Mr. Suiwan, no matter how thick-skinned Yingchuan Palace is, if word spreads, General Wei's face will be put away. Don't sue, General."

Mrs. Fang stepped forward and clasped Lin Xingwei's hands, sobbing, "Master Ning is sensible and magnanimous. I will take Erlang to Nanyang Hou's mansion to plead guilty with Mrs. Hou after dawn."

Lin Xingwei withdrew his hand from Mrs. Fang's hand, and said, "There's no need to come here to apologize. The marriage between me and General Wei has failed both rationally and emotionally. The wedding house arranged by Mrs. Fang today is very good, so let's leave it to the Xinan county lord. .By the way, I have already kept the Xifu, the county lord of Xinan, don't dislike it because I wore it."

He looked at Su Yi again: "Uncle is here to testify that I can't stay in the Wei Manor no matter what, so please ask Uncle to decline this marriage in front of His Majesty and Queen, Luo Fu, ask us to bring my dowry , let’s go back to Nanyang Marquis Mansion, General Wei’s dowry will be returned immediately after dawn.”

Lin Xingwei was relieved, like a general who has won a battle and triumphantly walked out, Yuzhu and He Fu followed, and Luo Fu rode out with the same momentum as Wei Mingji after the dog was broken.
