I do fortune-telling in ancient astrology

Cao Yi's assignment was changed from the remote Xiangcheng County in the northwest to Tong County, Danyang County, a water town in the south of the Yangtze River.The county magistrate of Tongxian County was ill for half a year, and the magistrate of Danyang County reported to the court. Therefore, His Majesty placed Cao Yi in the past.

Wei Mingji did this in a non-obtrusive way, only Lin Xingwei knew it was his handwriting.Otherwise, His Majesty would never have thought of Cao Yi. After all, there are many young talents who are seeking an official position, and Cao Yi is the most inconspicuous one in the crowd.

Cao Rong sent a strong team to escort Cao Yi to Tong County. Before leaving, the Lin and Cao families agreed that they would get married when Cao Yi came back to visit relatives during the Spring Festival at the end of the year.

It was the middle of June at this time, thinking that he would have to wait for the first half of the year to see Cao Yi again, Lin Xingwei's nose was so sore, he stuffed Cao Yi with a lot of gadgets he made, copied a lot of love poems and words and put them in In Cao Yi's luggage, let Cao Yi think about her when he is busy with official duties.

Lin Xingwei knew in her heart that after Cao Yi left, the relationship between her and him would be extremely variable. If it went well, it might last for two or three years. If things went bad, the relationship might come to an end.

Such reluctance made Mrs. Hou couldn't stand it anymore, so she dragged Lin Xingwei into the carriage and walked to Hou's mansion.

On the way back, he ran into Wen Lin's three-horse carriage and said hello. He said that he had sent his mother to Beihai County before returning from the city gate.

Lin Xingwei turned her head and said to Mrs. Hou, "Mother, I want to talk to Elder Sui Wan for a while."

Ever since Wen Lin forced Lin Xingwei to visit Wen's mother last time and met Wen's mother face-to-face, Mrs. Hou didn't like Wen Lin very much. She felt that this person was not prudent enough to do things, and his actions were a bit frivolous and hasty.

Since then, she has treated Wen Lin indifferently, and she doesn't want Lin Xingwei to associate with him anymore.

Madam Hou's expression was gloomy, and she reprimanded: "On the long street, you have just sent off your fiancé-in-law on the front foot, and then chatted with other men on the back foot, what's wrong with that?"

"Brother Suiwan is different from the man next to him. He only treats me like a brother and sister." Lin Xingwei muttered angrily.

Madam Hou couldn't help scolding: "Others care whether you are young or late, have you not had enough of the rumors Wei Mingji made before?"

Lin Xing leaned against the car window as if he was discouraged, and said, "If you don't let me see you, you won't see him, why are you angry?"

Mrs. Hou: "..."

Now that he is not allowed to see her, Lin Xingwei has her own way to meet Wen Lin, so she takes Yunzhu to the Jingshui Tower to listen to the opera, otherwise Wen Lin would have been waiting there.

The two wanted to have a private conversation, so Guan Xingyun specially found them a secluded room. From the top of the tall building, you could just see the flowers and willows on the stage, but you couldn’t see the people in this room downstairs or in the stands next to it. It is secretly able to pass through the back door of the backyard, and it can be regarded as a VVIP position for watching theaters.

The two sat down, Guan Xingyun brought tea and snacks and put them on the table, Lin Xingwei looked up at Guan Xingyun: "Why not wine?"

Guan Xingyun glanced at Wen Lin, then at Lin Xingwei, and said slowly: "If you go back to the princess, you will naturally drink tea when you are listening to an opera. How can you listen to an opera when you are drunk?"

Wen Lin smiled slightly, and said to Lin Xingwei: "Let's drink tea today, and I will treat you to drink some other day."

Guan Xingyun bowed slightly before leaving, Lin Xingwei cut to the chase and asked, "Brother Sui Wan, is Aunt Wen familiar with my father?"

Wen Lin frowned, "Uh...it's about my mother's privacy, can't you ask more tactfully?"

Lin Xing retorted slightly: "Acquaintance or not, can it be counted as privacy? I am also acquainted with you, so this is not considered privacy!... Judging from your tone, it is acquaintance!"

If Lin Xingwei's guess is correct, Wen Lin is going to confess to her today.

Wen Lin squinted at her, and said in a deep voice: "They are different from you and me!...Since I figured out that I want to recognize you, I have no intention of hiding it from you, but I just haven't figured out how to tell you. .”

Lin Xingwei frowned, restrained the gossip smile on his face, and straightened his expression.This is a matter of oneself, no! It is a major event that concerns the Nanyang Marquis Mansion and the entire Lin family. Grandparents are going to have an extra grandson.

Lin Xingwei was excited.

Wen Lin saw Lin Xingwei's complexion changed, his eyes were filled with surprise, and asked, "When did you know?"

Lin Xingwei blinked her innocent eyes, spread her hands, and asked, "Since you gave me the embarrassing money, I asked someone to give you your birth date, and after doing a fortune-telling, I knew a lot about you. Eighty-eight. Besides, my brother's behavior is obvious enough, and his appearance is obvious enough, so it's not difficult to guess."

Wen Lin was a little surprised, and asked, "Do you know how to divination? I thought you only found out after I took you to see my mother."

Lin Xingwei looked arrogant: "Am I that stupid?"

The atmosphere had already reached this point, and Wen Lin couldn't help it if he didn't say anything. He smiled lightly and said, "That's right, you and I share the same father."

He took a sip of tea, and slowly said: "Nanyanghou and my uncle are best friends. The two of them once studied at a master's place. They got along so well that they were inseparable. My uncle introduced my mother to Nanyanghou."

Speaking of this, his Adam's apple slipped, and he really didn't want to recall the past.After a moment of silence, he continued: "The Marquis of Nanyang and my mother were also able to talk very well. At one point, they were talking about marriage. Later, the Marquis of Nanyang went to work in the Taiwei's Mansion and left my mother. The two of them hadn't seen each other for two years. But there has been correspondence, and then my uncle saw that my mother missed Nanyanghou too much, so he wrote to ask him to come back to my uncle's house to meet him."

Wen Lin smiled bitterly, with a sad expression on his face, "Two months later, the news that the Marquis of Nanyang was going to marry Su's daughter reached my uncle's ears. My uncle was angry and broke up with Marquis Nanyang, and my mother cried to death. I still don't understand, I advised her that there is no need to spoil herself for a heartless man, my mother had no choice but to tell her that she was pregnant with his child."

Although he knew the result a long time ago, Lin Xingwei still took a deep breath and asked, "It was my father who was sorry for your mother and son. Did my father visit your mother and son later?"

"What are you looking at? He didn't even know that he had an extra child." Wen Lin laughed lonely, "It's a shame for the family that a boudoir woman is pregnant. If she can't get married, she will either die or live a lifetime of being rumored by others. "

Wen Lin shook the teacup in his hand, and said in a low voice: "Yingchuan can't stay here any longer. Fortunately, my uncle got a job soon. Before my mother was pregnant, my uncle took my mother to the post. After several years, I finally settled down in Beihai County."

Lin Xingwei's heart ached, and he wanted to say something, but he couldn't.

"In order to take care of our mother and son, my uncle has never discussed marriage, and missed a good time. It is because people in Beihai County speculated a lot about my mother and uncle. My uncle said to the outside world that my mother was widowed and had nowhere to go, so he followed him."

Wen Lin laughed and cried, and continued: "It's a coincidence that during the first two years of my uncle's tenure in Beihai County, there happened to be a war in Yingchuan, and people who said he died would believe it."

Wen Lin's eyes were full of pain, as if he was about to crush the teacup in his hand in the next second, and said in pain: "In order not to trouble my uncle, my mother didn't follow my uncle after he was promoted to Jizhou. My uncle is right I am also a teacher and a father, and I love our mother and child very much, but I am not my biological father after all."

"I started studying at the age of three. Other children called me a wild child without a father. I fought with those who slandered me and beat them until their elders came to ask for an explanation. The only way to apologize is to cry, but you don’t want to teach me a lesson.” Wen Lin’s eyes glistened with tears, and big teardrops fell into the tea on the table.

His jaw couldn't stop trembling, and he choked with sobs and said, "I have been wronged too much since I was a child because I didn't have a father. I asked my uncle and mother where my father died and where his grave is. Want to know clearly why I have to take my mother's surname and not my father's surname?"

Lin Xingwei's eyes were sour, tears were shining, she felt Wen Lin's grievances, and called out from the bottom of her heart: "Brother..."

Wen Lin continued: "At that time, I was already grown up, and my uncle and mother knew that they couldn't hide it, so they told me everything, saying that my biological father was made a Marquis by His Majesty, and he was in the capital. He should study hard, so that he can enter the imperial court in the future, so that he can have a chance to talk to his father. I listened to it, and I worked hard to study, which was appreciated by Mr. Han, who taught me the lessons himself, and later Mr. Han recommended me to be an official. I came to court as an official, but when I came to the capital, I heard that Marquis Nanyang was dead..."

Wen Lin cried out in pain, he bowed his waist, looked at the ground, his whole body trembling from crying.

Lin Xingwei walked over and sat down beside him, gently stroking his back, and asked softly: "That's why you want to recognize me as your younger sister, and to celebrate your grandfather's birthday, no matter how abrupt this matter is, you still have to do it? "

Wen Lin nodded crying, "I really want a normal family, with grandparents, biological parents, brothers and sisters, a harmonious and prosperous family."

He raised his tearful eyes, looked at Lin Xingwei, took a long breath, recovered from the gaffe just now, and continued: "I like you very much, I really like you, Mrs. Hou looks cold and reticent, but to You love and care, grandparents and grandparents will quarrel, but they all contain the warmth between family members, these are things I have never experienced before."

He raised his sleeve and wiped his tears, "Speaking of which, I also have grandparents. They hate our mother and son for tarnishing the family reputation, so they have never had a good face towards me. My only relatives since I was a child are my mother and uncle."

The amount of information was too large, even though Lin Xingwei had taken precautions, it was still difficult to digest.

She was startled and asked, "Do you want my mother and grandparents to know about this? Do you want to recognize your ancestors?"

Wen Lin shook his head, "I'm afraid, if they know my real identity, will they hate me?" He smiled wryly, "It's good as it is now, I have one more sister and two more cousins , as long as you are still willing to get close to me, I am enough."

"Okay then, when do you want to enter the family tree of the Lin family, I'll try to help you."

The tea was already cold, Lin Xingwei took the teacup from Wen Lin, poured the tea soup into the flower bed, and added new tea.

In the box, Lin Xingwei and Wen Lin were mourning the spring and autumn, and there was a commotion outside, the performers who sang on the stage ran off the stage in a panic, and the spectators scattered. It's all messed up.
