I do fortune-telling in ancient astrology

Chapter 7 First Cousin and Second Cousin

As the Mid-Autumn Festival was approaching, the Lin family didn't care whether Wei Mingji hadn't come to the Nanyang Marquis Mansion, and it wasn't their Lin family's fault that His Majesty and Queen asked.

Lin Xingwei didn't take Wei Mingji to heart, only thinking about when the two cousins ​​would return home.

She used Yao Gua every day to calculate when the two cousins ​​would return home so that she could pick them up at the gate of the city.

If there is no playmate, Lin Xingwei would feel very boring reading and writing every day.

When he got up early that day, there were two yellow sparrows singing crisply on the branches in front of Lin Xingwei's window.

Lin Xingwei was overjoyed, and immediately began to calculate the hexagrams. Lin Xingwei was delighted by the hexagrams. She immediately ordered the servants to prepare the carriage and went to the gate of the city to meet the two cousins.

He Fu said: "The letter from the two sons did not say that they would arrive today. Even if it is today, it will not be so early. The princess should wait at home."

Lin Xingwei hurriedly asked Yunzhu to put on a cloak for herself, pulled the hood from the skirt and put it on her head, and hurriedly said: "Madam He, you don't understand, my divinations are not inaccurate, today Yuzhong In three quarters, the two cousins ​​will arrive at the gate of the capital city! Aunt He will tell the chef to prepare a reception banquet according to the preferences of the two cousins."

He Fu smiled and shook her head, since the princess insisted on going, she would not stop her, so she just let Luo Fu, the most powerful servant in the house, send her there.

As for divination, she would only believe in the divination by the gods in the temple.Princess Yao Gua, she is just playing around as the princess.

Luo Fu sent the princess to the gate of the city, and the two young masters of the Lin family arrived at the gate of the city no later than no later.

When Mrs. Zhen and Mrs. Pei heard the news, they dispatched the people who greeted the young master to leave the house, but Lin Xingwei had already brought the two young masters back.

The three brothers and sisters walked into the gate of the Hou's Mansion laughing and laughing. Although it was the "first" meeting, Lin Xingwei had a kind feeling towards the two cousins.

After Luo Fu came back and reported to Mrs. He, Mrs. He was startled from ear to ear. When did the princess have such a skill that can pinch and count?
Lin Xingwei quickly became friends with the two cousins, and the two cousins ​​also noticed that the cousin had changed a lot, she was completely different from before, but they couldn't describe it carefully.

Knowing that his cousin loves to read, Lin Tingyu gave her a seal-cut copy of "The Book of Rites". In order to prevent insects and moisture, Lin Tingyu also oiled the bamboo slips, which smelled faintly sweet.

Lin Xingwei probably flipped through the pages, but didn't recognize a few words, so he had to guess blindly, shook his head and sighed, and gently put the scroll back in place.

Lin Tingyu and Lin Chengyu didn't laugh at her, but Lin Chengyu comforted her: "Only my cousin knows the book of small seal characters, and it was my second uncle who taught him. Although I am a teacher with him, I only know Some big seal characters."

Lin Tingyu was not stingy at all, knowing that Lin Xingwei was also interested in seal characters, so he gave Lin Xingwei several volumes of "Shi Zhen".

Lin Cheng'an saw that he was shaking with laughter, "This is an enlightenment book for young children, and Ran Ran is already grown up."

"What do you know!" Lin Tingyu picked up the book and tapped it on Lin Cheng'an's head, saying: "My sister has never learned it, so naturally she has to learn from the enlightenment books. Can bypass other books."

"Okay, okay, my sister studies hard, my cousin won't say anything." Lin Chengan supported Lin Xingwei's shoulder and said with a smile.

Lin Xingwei thought it was such a childish book, it could make the second cousin laugh like this.I picked it up and flipped through it, but it was just a four-character rhyme like "Thousand Characters". It was indeed a children's enlightenment book, but she had zero foundation, and this kind of reading was just right for her.

Lin Xingwei asked his eldest cousin to read "Shi Zhen" all over, and secretly wrote down the pronunciation. A little afraid of forgetting, he quietly marked the phonetic notation in small characters next to it.It was agreed with Lin Tingyu that she would be able to memorize the whole text three days later.

Lin Cheng'an cupped his hands and expressed admiration to Lin Xingwei, "My younger sister used to be playful and didn't like reading, but I didn't expect to be so motivated now."

In addition, Lin Xingwei borrowed a lot of seal script scripts from his eldest cousin, intending to make up some ancient characters.

Lin Tingyu spent a lot of time studying at home and refused to slack off. Lin Chengan took Lin Xingwei to the streets to play many places.Visiting the game building, watching beast fights, and participating in gambling games opened Lin Xingwei's horizons.

At first Lin Xingwei was afraid of his mother's scolding, so he didn't dare to go out, but Lin Cheng'an went out and informed Mrs. Hou, regardless of whether Mrs. Hou agreed or not, he just pulled Lin Xingwei out.

What Mrs. He meant was that anyway, the two princes will return to Yanshan Academy after the Mid-Autumn Festival, so it’s okay to take the princess out for fun, as long as the attendant Luo Fu takes Mao Mao and Shi Shi to follow closely.

Mao Mao and Shishi follow Lin Xingwei, there are two advantages, one is to prevent bad people from getting close to the princess, and the other is to prevent the princess from being playful and causing trouble.

The presence of a dog is a deterrent to both people and themselves.

Fortunately, Lin Xingwei behaved well, followed his cousin closely, and never caused trouble.

Even Lin Cheng'an, who was usually idle, was full of praise for Lin Xingwei in front of Mrs. Hou and Mrs. He, saying that her cousin was much more obedient than before.

Mrs. Hou and Mrs. He knew that the princess' temperament had changed, but they just had an instinctive understanding of the princess, so they were still a little worried.

On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, there was a temple fair in Luting Mountain. The three brothers and sisters went together, driving a carriage, several attendants and two dogs.

At the foot of the mountain, the three got out of the carriage and walked slowly up the mountain.One or two people stayed behind to watch the carriage, and the rest of the attendants followed. Luo Fu led the two gray dogs and walked in front, like magic tools to open the way. Passers-by saw the two big dogs and avoided them by themselves.

Lin Xingwei was a little ashamed, and didn't know whether it was the dog's power at the moment or the man's power at the moment.The faces of the two cousins ​​were also dull, and they deliberately dragged Lin Xingwei to walk a little slower, trying to keep some distance from the two dogs.

But Luo Fu led the dog and walked in front. If the masters walked fast, he would walk fast, and if the masters walked slowly, he would also walk slowly.In short, don't let the masters get too far away from you.

Lin Xingwei was wearing a cloudy and blue train skirt today, and she was very attractive in the crowd.

Mrs. He got up early and found a red dress, and Lin Xingwei also liked it, but when she went out, Mrs. Hou saw her and said that she should not dress too colorfully for going to the temple fair, and insisted on changing it for her daughter, so she changed into a cloud and water blue one.

Although it is not gorgeous, it is refreshing, making people feel like the blue clouds in the sky and the cool summer breeze.

Luting Mountain enshrines Yuelao Chai Daohuang. Lin Chengan said that he must come to worship Yuelao on the Mid-Autumn Festival in order to have a good marriage.

Lin Tingyu glanced at him: "You come to visit every year, but you don't see where your daughter-in-law is."

"I worshiped for Ran Ran, no, Ran Ran is the first one among our brothers and sisters to get married." Lin Chengan said and put his arm on Lin Xingwei's shoulder.

"Put down your dog's paw quickly, there are so many people here, they will be laughed at by others!" Lin Tingyu said.

"We are brothers and sisters, what's wrong with shouldering each other? We used to sleep together in bunk beds!" Lin Chengan didn't put his mouth away, but he put his hands down naturally, with a nonchalant expression.

Lin Tingyu said: "Don't talk nonsense, it was when you were young, now you are older, and Ran Ran is discussing relatives again, you should keep a sense of proportion, so as not to let people spread gossip."

Lin Xingwei smiled slightly watching the two of them bickering, thinking it was very amusing.

Lin Chengyu was not convinced: "Ran Ran didn't say anything, what are you not happy about?"

"You..." Lin Tingyu was too lazy to argue with him.

The mountain road is full of people, old and young, certainly not all of them are worshiping the moon and seeking marriage.The spherical lanterns along the way add a lot of scenery to the top of the mountain.

"Worshiping the moon during the Mid-Autumn Festival, these lanterns are all made of the moon. It's a pity we have to go back at night, otherwise the night view will be more beautiful." Lin Tingyu said.

Lin Chengan asked: "Why do you want to go back? Can't you go back after staying in the inn at the foot of the mountain for one night? Tonight must be the full moon rising, it would be a pity not to appreciate it."

Lin Tingyu said: "If it's just you and I, it's okay to stay overnight, but it's inconvenient to go out with Ran Ran. If the aunt asks me, how can I explain it?"

Hearing this, Lin Cheng'an looked at Lin Xingwei with regret.
