I do fortune-telling in ancient astrology

One day, Mrs. Ouyang wanted to take Cao Yi and Cao Ruicen to a banquet at the home of a nobleman, who had no friendship with the Nanyang Houfu, so Lin Xingwei had three days off without an invitation to the Nanyanghoufu.

One day was used to check accounts in the shop, one day went to the country village to bring some supplies back, and the last day went to Jingshui Tower with the qin and Yunzhu Luofu in hand to find Guan Xingyun to practice the qin for a long time. Busy and full.

On the fourth day, I went back to Cao's house to attend a class, because my qin art had improved a little compared to the previous four days, and was praised by Li Gongling.

Lin Xingwei was complacent, and thought that if he had time and money in the future, he might as well ask Guan Xingyun to be his private Yaoqin teacher, who taught him better than Li Gongling, who taught him carefully and earnestly.

Lin Xingwei was praised, the Cao brothers and sisters were criticized again, Cao Yi was absent-minded when playing the piano, and Cao Ruicen made more mistakes than Lin Xingwei when playing the piano. Therefore, Li Gongling got angry and declared that the class could not be continued, and he was so angry on the desk. After knocking on the ruler twice, he went to the cubicle to drink tea to calm down.

As soon as Li Gongling left, Cao Yi shook his hands and stopped playing. Cao Ruicen took out a letter from his sleeve and slipped it under Lin Xingwei's piano, and said in a low voice, "Remember to send it out for me, as usual, I will practice the piano with you for a while."

Cao Ruicen often wrote letters to communicate with Lin Cheng'an. After Mrs. Ouyang found out, Cao Ruicen dared not use his own messenger, so Lin Xingwei used Lin's messenger four or five times.

Lin Xingwei stuffed the letter into his sleeve silently, then turned his head to look at Cao Yi, and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

You must know that the piano of the two brothers and sisters is several grades better than Lin Xingwei. Cao Ruicen didn't play well because he was thinking about following Lin Cheng'an. Strange.

Cao Yi lowered his head and did not speak, Cao Ruicen flipped through the piano score and muttered: "Isn't Brother Yao depressed because he heard some gossip about the Princess and Wei Mingji at the banquet yesterday."

"What kind of gossip?" Lin Xingwei was a little dazed. Since the day on Luting Mountain, Lin Xingwei hadn't had any contact with Wei Mingji recently. He went to and from class every day and didn't even see Wei Mingji's face. What he wanted to pass on was the gossip about Chen Xinan and Wei Mingji. What does it have to do with her?
Cao Yi forced a smile, and said: "I believe that Xingwei has nothing to do with Wei Mingji, it's just that my mother heard about it, and my mother was a little displeased."

Lin Xingwei still didn't understand. He looked at Cao Yi and Cao Ruicen with question marks all over his face, "Mrs. Ouyang knows about Wei Mingji and I?"

Cao Ruicen smiled, got up and moved the cushion in front of Lin Xingwei, sat cross-legged again, with a gossipy face, and said: "That day Wei Mingji said that the princess bandaged and healed his wounds, we don't know about it How did it spread? It was only at the banquet yesterday that I realized that the rumor had already spread all over the city. Those people talked about it so well that they even knew how many inches the wound on Wei Mingji's wrist was and the color of the ointment bottle he used, as if they had seen it with their own eyes. Seeing it, my mother was very angry when she heard that, maybe at lunch time, my mother will ask the Princess about this matter, and the Princess has a clear mind."

The more Lin Xingwei listened, the more outrageous she became. Her brows were frowned into the word "Chuan", and her face was full of grievances: "What can be counted is what is counted! When did I heal Wei Mingji's wounds? It's such a big injustice. I can't wash it off even if I jumped into the Yellow River." .”

Wei Mingji, the Black Lotus, if he hadn't deliberately spread this rumor, she would have written it backwards!
Cao Yidao: "Don't worry about Xingwei, I have already explained what happened that day to my mother, it was Wei Mingji's nonsense."

Cao Ruicen nodded in agreement: "Yes, but my mother is still angry."

Lin Xingwei pursed his lips in annoyance, gritted his teeth and said, "Rumors about Wei Mingji and Chen Xinan were flying all over the sky, but now this guy is deliberately taking revenge on me, and he doesn't want to make me feel better!"

Cao Ruicen sighed a long time, and said: "I said earlier, if Wei Mingji played tricks, ten Yao brothers plus ten princesses would not be able to play."

She pointed to the piano score, "What Wei Mingji said in Luting Mountain is the prelude to the scene, and now these rumors are the keynote. I want to know how Wei Mingji will play this song at the end?"

Lin Xingwei glanced at her angrily: "Whoever wants to play tricks with him, I just want to live my life well, and don't provoke anyone!"

It is true that people sit at home, and disaster comes from heaven.It doesn't matter how these rumors are spread outside Lin Xingwei, but she is afraid that the Cao family will think wildly.They thought that while she was discussing marriage with Cao Yi, she was hooking up with Wei Mingji at the same time, thinking that she was flirtatious.

Now no one is in the mood to continue practicing the piano. During lunch, Mrs. Ouyang put on a sullen face, and she was not as pleasant to Lin Xingwei as usual. Lin Xingwei was about to take the initiative to explain Wei Mingji's purpose for spreading these rumors. A servant girl came in with a wooden box. Madam Ouyang interrupted Lin Xingwei when she spoke.

The maidservant said: "Ma'am, General Bao Shang from the Shangdu Mansion has brought a gift to Princess Youning, thanking Princess Youning for saving General Wei's life in Luting Mountain last time, and found the wound on General Wei's wrist. It has improved, and I would like to send a gift to Princess Youning to express my gratitude."

Lin Xingwei choked his throat with a mouthful of rice, and almost lost his breath. He forced himself to swallow several sips of tea before flushing down the choking rice ball.

Mrs. Ouyang gave the servant girl a wink with a cold face, and the servant girl put the wooden box on Lin Xingwei's dining table in a very sensible way and retreated.

Cao Ruicen couldn't help laughing out loud, and said, "I really guessed right, General Wei really has an afterthought in this matter!"

She slowly leaned towards Brother Yao, and said in a low voice: "The good song is lingering, and the lingering sound is endless. Brother Yao, hurry up and think of a countermeasure, otherwise your marriage with Princess Youning may be ruined!"

Mrs. Ouyang glanced over and scolded, "Ah Cen, what nonsense are you talking about!"

Lin Xingwei looked at the pitch-black wooden box of the food table and wanted to cry, it was more choking than the rice ball just now.This is not at her own house, and it is not easy for her to throw the wooden box out in front of Cao's family.After hesitating for a moment, she silently took the wooden box off the food table and put it in an inconspicuous place under the table.

Wei Mingji must have figured out that she was having dinner with the seniors of the Cao family at the moment, so he deliberately gave gifts in front of the seniors of the Cao family to embarrass her.

Mrs. Ouyang said coldly: "The Princess, don't you want to see what kind of thank you gift General Wei gave you?"

Lin Xingwei forced a smile: "What good things can he give as a general, it must be some common things."

Mrs. Ouyang deliberately said: "That's not sure, General Wei's family is a merchant from the rich side, and they have always spent a lot of money. You are a life-saving favor to him. How can you give you ordinary things?"

Cao Ruicen couldn't listen anymore, put down his chopsticks, frowned and said, "Mother, don't embarrass the princess. Brother Yao and I were both in Luting Mountain that day. There was no bandaging and healing. Wei Mingji wanted to take revenge on the county. The Lord deliberately made such a moth, if mother is serious, it will chill Aunt Su's heart."

Mrs. Ouyang looked at her angrily, but didn't speak.

Cao Yi didn't speak, got up suddenly, picked up the wooden box from under Lin Xingwei's food table, and threw it out viciously, the wooden box shattered, and a white ball rolled out of it.

Cao Yi finally got angry again!
Lin Xingwei lowered his head to eat the food, and whispered, "Zhi Ang did the right thing!"

Within two days, the news that Cao Yi threw away Wei Mingji's thank you gift spread again, saying that Princess You Ning accepted General Wei's gift of thanks, and Princess You Ning's bridegroom became very angry when he found out, not only fell Wei Mingji sent Princess Youning a thank you gift, and scolded Princess Youning harshly, forbidding her to have contact with foreign men, and some even passed on Cao Yi as a domestic violence man.

Cao Rong wanted to talk to Wei Mingji about these out-of-the-box rumors, but after all, there was no direct evidence that these rumors were spread by Wei Mingji, so he could only hold back the anger in his heart.

Hearing these rumors again, the Cao family tried their best to explain them. If they listened rationally, it would be fine. A family of military generals is more tiring than fighting a big battle.

This matter didn't subside, Lin Xingwei didn't face the Cao family's lectures, and shut himself up at home for a few days, Cao Yi didn't attend the lectures anymore, and came to Hou's mansion every day.Every day, I don’t come empty-handed, either some cakes or brocades, or where I got two inks.

There was also that Mr. Song An, who entered the backyard of the Hou Mansion after chatting in Lin Huaifeng's study room. Lin Xingwei bumped into him several times sitting with Madam Hou having tea and chatting.

Cao Yi was a little surprised when he first met him, but after getting to know him better, he no longer felt surprised, followed by Lin Xingwei and called Uncle Song.

Song An likes Mrs. Hou, and even likes Mrs. Hou's future son-in-law. When he comes, he will not only bring gifts for Mrs. Hou, but also bring a gift for the daughter and son-in-law of the Lin family.

Song An came to the house many times. He was very familiar with Lin Huaifeng before, and now he often sits with Mrs. Hou. Although Mrs. Lin and Mrs. Lin felt that something was wrong, Lin Huaifeng and his two daughters-in-law were covering up. The old couple put their hearts back into their stomachs again, and didn't think about anything else.

Lin Xingwei and Cao Yi are more comfortable playing in the Hou Mansion than in Cao's house. Whatever Lin Xingwei says, Cao Yi does. He also reads when Lin Xingwei reads. The child is also more beautiful than before.

When he was free, he went shopping with Lin Xingwei to check accounts, went to Zhuangzi to buy goods, and gradually forgot all about the rumors.

Lin Xingwei also dragged Cao Yi around the Jingshui Tower for more than a dozen times. Guan Xingyun sang and they listened to the opera. When Guan Xingyun was free, they pestered Guan Xingyun to practice the piano. I feel that practicing piano in Guan Xingyun's bedroom is the most peaceful and comfortable.

The appellation also changed from "Guan Gongzi" to "Guan Fuzi", and he lived happily ever after.

At first, Guan Xingyun had to accept "Shu Xiu" from them to learn the piano, but after getting too familiar with each other, he received less and less money, and in the end he simply stopped accepting him and became a free Yaoqin instructor.But Lin Xingwei and Cao Yi didn't take advantage of Guan Xingyun for nothing, they would always bring him something.

Mrs. Ouyang originally wanted to pay close attention to Cao Yi's homework and prepare for him to be nominated for an official position in the future, but she couldn't find Cao Yi's person, and thought that Cao Yi had fallen with Lin Xingwei.

After a long time, I found that not only did Yao'er not degenerate, but also improved a lot in poetry, calligraphy and piano, so he turned a blind eye to the fact that he ran to Nanyang Houfu every day.
