I do fortune-telling in ancient astrology

There are two topics in the bedtime meeting of Lin's mother and daughter tonight. One is how to respond to Wei Mingji's request for a secret order; the other is whether to refuse or agree to Cao Yi's proposed marriage.

Lin Xing knelt down in front of his mother's couch with his head slightly shrunk, holding the secret order in his hand, rubbed it lightly, and asked softly, "Is mother really going to enter the palace tomorrow?"

It has been [-] or [-] years since the Yingchuan Rebellion happened, and this jade pendant has been in the Hou Mansion for [-] or [-] years. If it could be handed over to His Majesty's parents, it would have been handed over long ago, and it would not be kept until today.

"That's my mother's angry words today. If this jade pendant stays in our hands, something will happen sooner or later. Our family has no ability to resist evil forces. Prince Chu's son and your father are both tired by this jade pendant. If we hand over the jade pendant openly For Your Majesty, leaking the news is even more unfavorable to us, you can quietly hand it over to Wei Mingji sometime, after that we will have nothing to do with him, nor the Yingchuan Rebellion."

Madam Hou leaned on the table and let out a long breath.

"Since that's the case, we should leave it to him today, and we're too tired to go to his house. I really don't want to see Wei Mingji again, so mother can ask my second cousin to go." Lin Xingwei lowered his head and frowned. The jade pendant was put into the brocade box and pushed onto Mrs. Hou's bed.

Mrs. Hou immediately sat up, and asked in a deep voice: "Then how can I do it? The less people who know about this matter, the better. Except for you and me, no one in our family knows the existence of this jade pendant. brother in danger?"

Lin Xing rolled his eyes secretly, and muttered in a low voice: "I knew it was a hot potato, but I didn't want to give it to others just to annoy people, so I want to give it away again, so that people don't want our family to take this opportunity to beg him." OK?"

"What are you talking about? Is it something I don't want to give?" Madam Hou's heart welled up again, and she said loudly: "I was angry at the time as a mother, but I also said that the jade pendant is in your hand and I asked you to give it to me. You don't want to blame it on Wei Mu."

Lin Xingwei heaved a long sigh, and secretly blamed himself for arguing with a woman, and reached out to take the brocade box from the bed table, "Okay, I will deliver it as mother asks."

"You don't have to do everything according to me. Cao Yi proposed marriage to you today, what do you think?" Mrs. Hou said angrily, and cast a sideways glance at her daughter.

"Well, daughter... I haven't thought about it yet. I have only known Mr. Zhi Ang for more than ten days, and he proposed marriage to me in more than ten days. It's too hasty."

Lin Xingwei lowered his head and played with the brocade box, feeling confused, "The Cao family is solid and solid, all the sons and daughters are officials and generals, Mr. Zhi Ang is young and weak-tempered, but such a person is the most likely to listen to his wife, so I want to agree."

Madam Hou raised her eyebrows, "Cao Yi is weak-tempered, and his future is still unknown. If he can't find a world by himself, he will rely on his father and brother. If so, what should you do?"

"That's not true. These days, I have observed that Mr. Ang's talent is more than that of the top and the bottom. It is impossible to be a military commander like his father and brother, but it is more than enough to be a civil servant. Even if he can't gain a foothold in the court, he will be an official. A way out."

Lin Xingwei raised his neck, his face full of confidence.

Seeing her appearance, Mrs. Hou smiled dumbly, "So, you are optimistic about Cao Yi, but you don't know his true intentions?"

Lin Xingwei drooped his head again, and said dejectedly: "I proposed marriage after only a few days of acquaintance, my daughter really has no idea."

Lin Xingwei's old problem was repeated. When someone confessed to her in college, she always thought of the other person very badly. She always thought that she was not outstanding, and she had no father or mother. Who would fall in love with her? It was to tease her.

Now that she has a mother but no father, Lin's family background is very different from Cao's, besides she was married once, rumors about her relationship with Wei Mingji spread in the capital, and Lin Xingwei's inferiority complex came up again.

Mrs. Hou sat upright, a little surprised by her daughter's performance, and said: "You and Cao Yi have not known each other for a short time, but mother and Mrs. Ouyang are close friends. Since Cao Yi proposed marriage to you in front of mother, it must be true. You Once bitten by a snake for ten years and afraid of well ropes, Cao Yi is not the same as Wei Mingji, since he says he is willing to marry, he is sincere, if you miss Cao Yi and you want to find another good one, then you don’t know it’s the year of the monkey.”

Then he said with a serious face: "Cao Yi's heart is hot, if you don't think about it, you reject him immediately, if you agree, mother will go to Cao's mansion to settle the matter, and you must not play Wei Mingji's tricks and procrastinate." I have never been able to make a decision!"

Lin Xingwei took out his fortune-telling belongings from his bosom, put them on the desk, and said, "Mom, don't urge me, let me make a divination first."

Mrs. Hou rolled her eyes at her daughter, and said in a cold voice: "I don't know when you became obsessed with this thing. If the prediction is so accurate, even if you count who your future husband-in-law is, my mother will immediately propose marriage tomorrow. It’s okay, there’s a big thing on my mind.”

After finishing speaking, he closed his eyes and stopped talking.

Lin Xingwei held her breath and focused, and did some careful divination. She could agree or not agree to the meaning of the hexagram.

This made her a little embarrassed, whether she should agree to Cao Yi or not.

Based on her experience in divination in the past, such a divination phenomenon may not cause great harm, and I am afraid that it is also a relationship that will end without a disease.

well!When will she be favored by fate?Lin Xingwei was a little annoyed, she wanted to live a stable life, find a reliable husband and stick to it, it would save a lot of trouble.

The way it is now, the engagement today and the divorce tomorrow, others thought it was her playing tricks.

Lin Xingwei thought about it for a moment, why not agree.Anyway, the previous hexagrams said that her marriage was rough, and she didn't experience many relationships, so I'm afraid she couldn't break this bad luck.

"Okay, I promise." Lin Xingwei smiled to himself, and said again: "I'm also a blind cat who ran into a dead mouse. I thought that after retiring with Wei Mingji, no one would dare to want me."

Madam Hou slowly opened her eyes, and asked, "The divination is done? What does the hexagram say?"

"It's inauspicious or inauspicious. It's a stable and gentle hexagram. In short, there is no big difference." Lin Xingwei put away his tortoise shell and copper coins, and said slowly.If she explained the hexagram truthfully to her mother, she might not be able to agree to this marriage.

Mrs. Hou breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "Cao Yi is good at everything, but he is too young and has no fame. Mrs. Cao and Mrs. Ouyang put all their thoughts on the older sons, and they don't know what is wrong with this youngest son. How did you plan?"

Lin Xing smiled slightly: "When my mother married my father, my father was not yet a marquis, and he was just a retainer of the Taiwei's mansion. His background was also poor, and my mother didn't dislike her. Compared with my mother's situation, my daughter is much better. Although Young Master Zhi Ang has many shortcomings, as long as he puts his daughter on top of his heart, I don't ask for fame or anything."

Mrs. Hou pursed her lips and said angrily, "You are smarter than me. I thought I almost married a good man back then, but that man didn't come to propose marriage, so I married your father in a fit of anger. Don't look at your father at the time. No name or surname, but your grandfather admired him very much, and agreed to our marriage in order to promote your father."

"I know," Lin Xing smiled, and said, "The one who refused to propose marriage to his mother is Mrs. Song An. These days, Uncle Song has sent many things to our family in a grand manner, and my mother has not refused. Don't you have any thoughts about Uncle Song?"

Mrs. Hou looked arrogant, and said leisurely: "It's just that they gave each other some gifts. After all, he never visited our house, let alone proposed marriage to me. He is also a person who is half buried in the ground. He is not as courageous as Cao Yi." As big as a kid."

Lin Xing clicked his tongue slightly, knelt two steps forward, leaned on Mrs. Hou's lap, and said softly: "Compared with my mother, I am indeed much luckier, and I should cherish it when I meet someone who is bold and unhesitating. "

Madam Hou caressed Lin Xingwei's black hair, and spoke softly, "Your father treated me very well, so it's not unfortunate. After the Yingchuan Rebellion, Your Majesty bestowed your father with the title of Marquis and was promoted again. If it wasn't for hiding secret orders Pei, your father keeps a low profile, and his official rank can be higher."

Lin Xingwei raised his head, looked at his mother quietly, and asked: "Mother is married to father, and aunt is married to the crown prince, so mother is not upset?"

"What's so embarrassing, if I hadn't married your father in advance, I would have married the prince at that time, and I wouldn't have such a stable life today." Madam Hou smiled slightly, feeling relieved in her heart:

"Your grandfather was married to the royal family, just to stabilize his own power. Your aunt looked at the scenery. When she was young, she often complained about the prince behind her back. She ignored her mood today, and favored Liang Di better than her tomorrow, until the prince ascended the throne and became emperor. , your aunt has learned to be more prudent, and she doesn't talk about the private affairs between husband and wife."

"In these years, His Majesty has been accepting beautiful people almost every year. There are too many princes and princesses to count. It is also thanks to your aunt's generosity. If it were me, I would see my husband and other women love each other. I am Unbearable."

Lin Xingwei held Madam Hou's slender hand, with a delicate face, and leaned into Madam Hou's arms again, and said softly: "That's true, if you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight. As my aunt is a queen, you must be more capable than others." She has a big heart, and what others see is that my aunt has a big heart, but behind the scenes, what my aunt pays is to be more patient, if she can't bear it, she has to bear it, it is really too hard for a woman who can only rely on her husband."

Mrs. Hou said again: "The Lin family is not good at all, but there is one thing that no one else can compare to, that is, the Lin family's ancestors have been trained, and the Lin family's children are not allowed to take concubines. Your father and brother are three people, and they are all in harmony with each other. Let’s just say that your grandparents often quarrel with each other, but they support each other and respect each other in their hearts. Many people envy our family, there is no dispute between the sons and daughters, no wives and concubines competing for favor, how many conflicts have been reduced.”

Lin Xing pursed his lips slightly: "Master Zhi Ang will definitely take concubines in the future. Look at the other brothers in the Cao family. They have given birth to so many sons, and some of them are born to their regular wives. Most of them are due to concubines."

Mrs. Hou smiled: "That's not necessarily the case. If you don't nod, Cao Yi won't be able to take concubines openly. You just know what you are doing."

The mother and daughter babbled for a while, until Mrs. He came in to report for the watch, and Lin Xingwei left her mother's room and went back to sleep.
