I do fortune-telling in ancient astrology

"Hou, Mrs. Hou, this junior wants to propose marriage to Princess Youning..."

After Cao Yi stammered, the banquet hall was completely silent.

Lin Xingwei took a mouthful of rice and almost choked on it. He rolled his eyes for a while before coughing violently.

Lin Chengan stood up and patted her back, and said, "Slow down, it's not the first time someone proposes a marriage, so don't be nervous."

The cousin said this as if she had a lot of experience in marriage, but she didn't know that she and Wei Mingji were just messing around before, and it was easier to propose marriage and then withdraw than a child's play.

After Madam Hou was stunned for a moment, she immediately returned to normal, chewing vegetables quietly.

Cao Ruicen looked at Brother Yao in shock, and suddenly asked, "Brother Yao, have you told your parents about this?"

Cao Yi's throat slipped, his face was as red as a roasted sweet potato, and he whispered: "Father... I don't know yet, my mother already knows that I have a crush on Princess Ning."

Suddenly his voice became high-pitched, and he said loudly: "Mrs. Hou, Princess Ning, if you two don't dislike me, I will be able to marry the Lin family. Anyway, my family has many sons..."

Cao Yi's neck and ears were completely red, and with a few streaks of black painted on, it was comparable to Guan Gong's face in an opera.

The condition of marrying into a family is even more tempting than what Wei Mingji said before giving birth to a son with the surname Lin. Lin Xingwei peeked at his mother. Mrs. Hou stopped holding the bowls and chopsticks, looked calm, and said slowly: "Mr. Come talk to us after the Lingtang discusses it."

Cao Yi's eyes lit up, and he said happily, "Mrs. Hou, what you mean is that as long as my parents agree, you will agree too?"

"Hey, hey, don't be too happy, my aunt didn't say that! Don't talk nonsense about getting married, let others think that you were teased by my family after eating at my house for a few days. There was a conflict between the two."

Lin Cheng'an put the food in his mouth, and almost choked while eating, "We Ran Ran are not in a hurry to get married, and our Lin family is not short of sons, if Mr. Cao is to cheat my Ran Ran away with a few words like that , my family will feel distressed."

Cao Yi knelt down, with a happy expression on his face, and patted his chest to promise: "I will not lie to the princess, if the princess deceives me, I will never treat the princess as harshly as Wei... whoever, please Mrs. Hou and the princess rest assured."

Cao Ruicen lowered his voice and reminded: "Brother Yao, the princess hasn't agreed yet."

No matter how low it was, it reached Lin Xingwei's ears. She blushed, smiled at Cao Yi, and said incoherently: "This matter should be discussed in the long run. Is there a regulation for this marriage proposal? Hmm...let's delay it for a while."

It has not been two months since she and Wei Mingji resigned, and the injuries suffered by the Lin family have not fully healed. At this moment, they can't wait to get engaged again, and then their grandfather will criticize their mother again.If you want to discuss marriage again, you must discuss it with your grandparents, and you can't let your mother be wronged again.

"I'll discuss the rules with my parents when I get back, and I will definitely not lack manners." Cao Yi smiled happily, and the tide on his face instantly faded away, and he became white and tender again.

Cao Ruicen chimed in and said, "Since my fourth brother got married, my mother has been preparing for my brother's marriage. The dowry has already been prepared, but my brother is too shy and has never found a pleasing girl. I thought my Yao brother would never find a wife in this life, but I didn’t expect him to set his sights on the princess. Mrs. Hou is comparable to my mother and sister, and the two families are very close. If we get married again, it will be more intimate. It's a good thing."

Lin Chengyu asked secretly, "You invited Ran Ran to your house to listen to the female teacher's lecture, did you intend to do so long ago? You brothers and sisters came to my house for dinner every day for two days, and you already had the ulterior motives." Stop drinking!"

Cao Ruicen quickly raised three fingers and said, "I swear to God, I didn't know anything about it before, Brother Yao scared me just now. I just don't want to listen to the female teacher's lecture alone, so I just let the princess accompany me."

"That's you!" Lin Chengan pointed at Cao Yi, "Their girls listen to the female master's class, and you meddle in it like a fool, you must have something tricky in your heart!"

Cao Yi lowered her head in embarrassment, and said with a smile: "Actually, when the princess came to my house to attend the Sydney banquet, I fell in love with Princess Youning at first sight."

Cao Ruicen's expression changed in an instant, and he said, "Brother Yao, you have worked hard to hide it from me, and somehow I became your accomplice."

Lin Xing secretly slandered herself for being so stupid, she devoted all her attention to Li Gongling's class, and for more than ten days, she didn't realize that there was a pair of tiger-like eyes staring at her.

After dinner, Mrs. Hou went back to her room to rest. Normally, the brothers and sisters of the Cao family had to stay in the Hou Mansion to play for a while before leaving. Today, when they came out of the banquet hall, Cao Yi dragged his younger sister out of the Hou Mansion, boarded the carriage and rode away impatiently. .

The Cao family sat around the hall and had a bedtime meeting.

When Mrs. Ouyang learned that Yao'er had proposed marriage to Lin Xingwei, she immediately burst into laughter, patted Cao Yi's shoulder, and said with a big laugh, "Mother thought you would delay for a while, you are so fast!"

Joy also appeared on Cao Rong's face, and he stretched out his hand and flicked a jujube on Cao Yi's head, "Very good, very good, there are only five sons in my family and you are still unmarried, so let's talk about marriage with Princess Youning." It is settled to my heart's wish!"

Cao Ruicen said with a sullen face, "What are parents happy about? Brother Yao said he wants to marry Nanyang Marquis! I also like Princess Ning as my sister-in-law. I feel empty when I say I want Brother Yao to marry me."

Cao Rong restrained his smile, and suddenly felt that someone had gouged out his heart, looked at Mrs. Ouyang coldly, and asked coldly, "Is this your idea?"

"My lord, don't wrong me, this is your son's idea!" Mrs. Ouyang retorted with a sullen face, and chuckled, "In my opinion, there is nothing wrong with joining the Lin family. Don't think the Lin family has much power now, but after Mrs. Hou The Taiwei's Mansion and His Majesty's Queen both have great plans for the Princess and her daughter, otherwise they would not have agreed to Wei Mingji's marriage with the Lin family."

Cao Rong frowned, with a sad face on his face, "The three of you, mother and son, are planning to arrest Princess Ning to our house these days? No matter what your Majesty and Taiwei's family have planned for the mother and daughter of the Lin family, it's all up to you. It's not something we should consider. I have been an official for half my life, and I have married my sons and daughters. I only rely on my heart, and I have never considered planning for the daughters-in-law's family. I agree with both hands if Princess Youning is married to our house. If Zhiang Joining the Lin family is absolutely impossible!"

"Father!" Cao Yi straightened up and begged: "Master Youning's mother is lonely and helpless, and her son's entry into her home is for the convenience of taking care of her, not leaving his father and mother alone. Only Mrs. Hou is left alone, and my mother has been close to Mrs. Hou since childhood, how can I see it?"

Cao Rong hesitated for a moment, then said: "That's not okay, you can move around more after marriage, and marrying a wife is absolutely not allowed! If it spreads, others will think that my old Cao can't afford to raise a son!"

"I think so too. It also makes people think that our family cares about the wealth of the Hou's family and that's why Brother Yao is married." Cao Ruicen muttered, 1 people didn't want to.

"Who would think so?" Mrs. Ouyang's eyes darkened, and she reprimanded: "Your father has a high position and authority, and all the sons and daughters are good. If you speculate like this, if you don't want to, just say you don't want to, don't engage in such fancy tricks!"

He glared at Cao Rong again, and said: "If you don't want to, I don't know if the mother and daughter of the princess are willing! The Marquis of Nanyang is vacant, and I don't know what Madam Hou plans. If you think about stepchildren inheriting the title, we Jiazhi Ang is probably being self-indulgent if he wants to get married! Besides, this family hasn't agreed yet, let's think about the long-term first!"

"Madam, since you want to marry the Lin family, you have to discuss these matters first. Tomorrow, I will accompany you to the Marquis Mansion to propose a marriage. Madam must not mention the matter of getting married." Cao Rong's face was full of anxiety, and he stretched out his hand to pull Madam Hou's sleeve, If Mrs. Ouyang does not agree, he will not be able to sleep peacefully tonight.

"Okay, I got it!" Mrs. Ouyang pushed Cao Rong's hand away, and said angrily, "I won't take the initiative to mention it tomorrow." If Mrs. Hou took the initiative to mention it, she would agree.

The matter was reluctantly settled, Mrs. Ouyang prepared the marriage proposal ceremony overnight, and planned to formally propose marriage at the door of Nanyang Hou Mansion the next morning.
