I do fortune-telling in ancient astrology

Lin Xingwei took Cao Yi to visit the building in secret, and no one knew who told Cao Rong that Cao Yi was locked at home and was not allowed to go out. Before the two families formally arranged a wedding banquet, informal occasions were not allowed in private. Meet.

Cao Ruicen was detained at home, studying and learning etiquette, and hadn't been to the Hou Mansion for a long time, and now even Cao Yi was not allowed to come.Lin Xingwei lost two playmates at once, and his heart was empty.

Lin Xingwei was lying on the couch, staring at the music score, depressed, and didn't know who to play with.Yunzhu brought a few snacks that Lin Xingwei usually liked, and she was not in the mood to take a look at them.

Seeing that Lin Xing was slightly displeased, Yunzhu persuaded in a low voice: "Young master Cao is not coming, why don't the princess take me and Luo Fu to Jingshui Tower, we can also accompany the princess, and promise to listen to the princess's words better than Young Master Cao."

Lin Xing glanced at her slightly, and said angrily: "How can you know Ambie? I don't want to marry you two." She looked blankly at the gauze curtain on the top, and said in a leisurely tone, "Cultivating a relationship is not easy. Zhi Ang got together based on a little superficial liking, and finally cultivated a little deep friendship. If we don't see each other for a long time, the relationship will fade."

Yunzhu blinked her eyes, as if she didn't understand, and asked: "Since it's a 'deep friendship', how can it fade away just because you haven't seen it for a few days? Isn't it said that 'one day is like three autumns'? Thinking about it for a long time, the relationship will definitely be better when we meet again."

Lin Xingwei bit her lip in a daze, she couldn't say anything, in short, she just felt very bad, as uncomfortable as a duck that was about to be cooked had already flown away.

"Why don't the princess urge Mrs. Hou to make an engagement with Mr. Cao quickly," Yunzhu smiled and held the food plate with a clever look on her face.

Lin Xingwei turned sideways, looked at Yunzhu's innocent smile and let out a long sigh.In the past, Wei Mingji forced her to be too hasty in the marriage, which made her angry, but this Cao family was procrastinating, and after the appointment, there will be no further articles.

Cao Yi is the youngest son of the Cao family and the most beloved son of Cao Rong and his wife. His engagement banquet must be grand and grand. At that time, relatives from his hometown will be invited, and all the ministers in the court will also be invited. Fortunately, His Majesty and Queen will also be here, so I can't pick a suitable day.

Engagement is not a formal marriage. According to Lin Xingwei's own humble opinion, there is really no need to make it so complicated.The Cao family is a family of Zhongming Dingshi, and Lin Xingwei does not understand the considerations involved. As the woman's family, Mrs. Hou is not easy to comment on, so she can only quietly wait for the notification from the Cao family.

Another maidservant, Shuizhu, suddenly pushed the door gently and came in, reporting: "Young Master Wen Suiwan is now in the room of the old lady and the old lady, and the old lady sent the servant girl to invite the princess to sit with her."

Lin Xingwei sat up from the couch in an instant, and asked in surprise, "Why is he in the room of his grandparents? What is he doing here?"

Shui Zhu said: "Mr. Wen said that he didn't intend to pass by our house, and wanted to come to say hello to the old grandpa and the old lady."

As the saying goes, there is nothing to be courteous about, and it is either rape or robbery. Wen Lin has offered countless courtesies to the Lin family, but he has never asked for anything.

Wen Linzhen was as good as ever to Lin Xingwei like a big brother, and respectful to the elders of the Lin family as always.

Confused, Lin Xingwei really wanted to reveal Wen Lin's true identity in front of the whole family.Thinking about it carefully, maybe this is what Wen Lin wants, not to be conspicuous, not to be noticed, and not to deliberately get close, to be in a casual way, like a relative.

Lin Xingwei packed up. As soon as he arrived at his second uncle's courtyard, Wen Lin had already come out. The two bumped into each other and saluted each other shallowly. Wen Lin said, "I haven't been waiting for you for a long time. I'm going to the Marquis's courtyard I'm looking for you."

Lin Xingwei raised her bright eyes to look at him, and asked, "Why is brother looking for me?"

Wen Linyu stared blankly at Lin Xingwei, and asked, "As an elder brother, I have to find you when I have something to do? After spending a few days with Cao Yi, I learned to be as stupid as him."

Lin Xingwei clicked his tongue in disgust, and turned to leave, but was grabbed by Wen Lin by the collar, and asked sternly: "Let me ask you, you often go to Jingshui Tower to find Guan Xingyun to learn the piano, can you improve your piano skills? "

Lin Xingwei turned his eyebrows coldly at Wen Suiwan, cursing in his heart: I really don't care about eating salty radishes!
She said: "The girl from the Li family can't come to the capital to marry you to take care of her mother. Why don't you see that you are a little bit worried, and you still have the mind to ask about my affairs?"

Wen Lin looked like an elder, straightened his back, put his hands behind his back, and said: "As your elder brother, why can't I interfere with your affairs? If you want to learn the piano, you should learn the piano. Why do you kidnap Mr. Wang every day?" Running to the theater, what does it look like? Madam Hou doesn't care about you?"

"What happened when we went to the theater? My mother knew and didn't say anything. It's not disgraceful for so many girls to go to the theater, let alone we are going to learn the piano." Contradict Wen Lin.

Wen Lin frowned, and reprimanded: "You're bandaging Wei Mingji's wounds, and you're dragging Cao Yi to the theater. Are you going to lose your reputation? If you continue like this, I'm afraid the Cao family will also withdraw from you. Already!"

"Retire?" Lin Xing was startled slightly, her eyes widened in fright.She doesn't want to divorce again, if so, who will want her in the future?

Wen Lin said angrily: "Don't open your eyes so wide, it's the servant's fault!" He pointed to the pavilion not far away, "Go over there and talk about it."

Lin Xingwei followed Wen Lin, entered the gazebo one after the other, and sat down on the stone bench before Wen Lin said: "The matter of you and Cao Yi visiting the theater building was brought up in the court hall to say that Mr. Cao is teaching the children." No way, Mr. Yao of the Cao family is not upright! Master Cao and Mrs. Ouyang have been worrying about Cao Yi's future official career, and how important his reputation is, and now he has been mentioned in the court, who will be there in the future? I am willing to recommend Cao Yi, even if someone recommends it, His Majesty may not be willing to use it!"

Lin Xingwei really wanted to cry, but after a while he said in a low voice: "We are not indulging in sensuality, we just went to learn the piano..."

"Learn the piano? Didn't the Cao family hire a teacher? Do you need to go to the theater to learn the piano?" Wen Lin reprimanded coldly, and then softened his tone when he saw the girl bowed her head lifelessly and remained silent.

Wen Lindao: "Cao Yi was locked up in the mansion and was not allowed to come out. I was afraid that you would come in if you didn't know, so I came here to remind you that you are safe and sound these days, so don't stir up some rumors. Don't say that the Cao family is going to retire at that time. Who else wants to marry you?"

The reasoning behind these words is so logical, but it always feels strange to say it from Wen Lin's mouth. He didn't say clearly that he was her real brother after all.

Lin Xingwei raised his head and frowned at him, Wen Lin also felt that something was wrong, got up and said: "It's me who presumptuously, as long as you know what's in your mind, I'll go first!"

Wen Lin flung his sleeves and left, while Lin Xingwei was still sitting on the stone bench in a daze, feeling extremely helpless and closed to himself.

What Wen Lin knew, Mrs. Hou had Song An as her ear god, so she naturally knew. Mrs. Hou was hard-hearted, and she didn't realize that her daughter was at fault. The next day, she visited the queen and went to the palace, and dragged Mrs. Su to the palace. Had an afternoon tea with the Queen.

Three days later, Mrs. Ouyang brought Cao Yi to the door and asked, how about setting the engagement banquet on the eighth day of May?
Madam Hou smiled like a flower, she sat on the table and counted carefully with her fingers, and said: "The eighth day of the fifth lunar month... there are still more than 20 days, isn't it too hasty?"

Mrs. Ouyang smiled coyly and said: "I'm a little anxious. It's just an engagement banquet. It doesn't have to be too grand. I heard from the queen yesterday that the old lady in the palace is sick. Your majesty doesn't let the officials be too extravagant. Everything else is fine. It's appropriate, not too hasty."

The old lady in the palace was not as healthy as Mrs. Lin, and she fell ill from time to time. Several times, the imperial physician thought that the old lady's death was approaching, but the old lady survived again.Now he is sick again, and when Mrs. Hou went there the day before yesterday, she could still stare and talk, so I don't know if I can survive this time.

Madam Hou glanced at Lin Xingwei who was shrunk on the seat angrily, and said, "I dare not say how good-looking my daughter is, but I can only say that she is quite upright among the girls in the capital. I know my daughter's temperament. Sister Ouyang also knows what the rumors are going on outside, if the brother-in-law of the Cao family cares, there is no need to worry about this marriage, it is about the future of the two children, Sister Ouyang can think about it carefully."

Cao Yi hurriedly said: "Don't think about it, my parents don't mind, we don't mind, I would rather not be an official in the future but marry Xing Wei, when Xing Wei and Madam Hou don't dislike me, it will be fine."

After not seeing him for a few days, Cao Yi actually lost a lot of weight. His words were sincere, and Lin Xingwei's eyes turned red.

Mrs. Ouyang glared at Cao Yi and scolded: "Nothing! If you don't become an official, do you still have to wait for your father and brothers to help you and your wife? Stop saying such spineless words. If you have nothing to do, what will you do in the future?" To support Princess Ning? First settle the marriage between the two of you, and then get married after Zhi Ang's official position is down."

Lin Xingwei's eyes lit up, and he asked, "Zhi Ang, are you going to be an official?"

Cao Yi blushed again, and said embarrassedly: "I was recommended by Taifu Su in front of His Majesty yesterday. I may be a small local official. Xingwei, you have to suffer with me."

Lin Xingwei was so happy that she couldn't hold back anymore, she said: "Zhi Ang, you are still young, and it is time for you to experience yourself. Being a small local official can just understand the people's sentiments, and when you and I get married, I will accompany you to the post! At that time, you are outside and I am inside, and you will definitely live a rough life."

Mrs. Ouyang expressed gratitude, and said to Mrs. Hou: "This is all thanks to Taifu Su. Zhiang is weak-tempered. I have never worried about other sons in my family as much as I worry about Zhiang. I have to go to Taiwei's mansion to report to Mrs. Hou someday." Thank you Madam Su."

Mrs. Hou smiled slightly, and said: "Uncle loves my niece, and it's my duty to plan for my niece and son-in-law. You're welcome. When they get engaged and get married, just ask the two juniors to offer her uncle an extra glass of wine."

She looked at Lin Xingwei again, and said: "These days, you are not allowed to take Zhi Ang out to run around, if you don't want to stay at home, ask Zhi Ang to take you to the school grounds to practice riding and archery, it will be useful in the local office in the future, Stop going to those dubious places!"

Lin Xingwei responded in a low voice, and then he and Cao Yi looked at each other and secretly smiled.

The matter was resolved perfectly, and Lin Xingwei returned to the heartless days. If he said he was practicing riding and archery, he would really practice riding and archery. There was no delay for a day. He and Cao Yi were inseparable all day long. , In the afternoon, the sun is in full swing, practice for a while on the school field, and then go back to each house sweating profusely, don't work too hard.

Lin Xingwei and Cao Yi lived happily ever after they could eat the game that they brought in in the morning at night, and they could also get praise from their elders.
