I do fortune-telling in ancient astrology

Normally, a woman would be very eye-catching in the men's team, but now everyone was wearing the same mourning clothes, bowed their heads solemnly, and did not look around, so no one noticed Lin Xingwei.

Your Majesty, the Queen, all the concubines, princes and sons, and ministers of humerus knelt at the front.The empress dowager's funeral was presided over by the Taiwei. Lin Xingwei felt sorry for his grandfather. He was an old man in his 60s and had to stay up all night with a group of young people, not just one night. He was afraid that his grandfather would not be able to rest well until the funeral was over.

Immortals and Taoists walked around the entire mourning hall, knocking wooden fish and chanting sutras, one circle after another, seven to seven 49 laps later, today's ceremony ended, and a few Taoist priests were left to take turns chanting in front of the empress dowager's tablet, and the kneeling sutras could take turns to rest.

After His Majesty and the Empress retreated, Lin Xingwei poked Wen Lin quietly, and the two quietly stood up among the crowd, and left the palace courtyard with their heads bowed.The companions in twos and threes here and there are either holding clay pots to drink water, or raising their hands to eat snacks, or talking in whispers.

Lin Xingwei was more familiar with the roads of the harem than Wen Lin, and the two of them went to a small garden behind the Queen Mother's palace, found a stone and sat down side by side. A touch of coolness.

"Drink water?" Wen Lin untied a cowhide water bag from his waist and handed it to Lin Xingwei.

Lin Xingwei hadn't noticed that there was a water bag hidden in Wen Lin's waist, and he raised his eyebrows in surprise, "When did brother hide the water?"

"I brought it with me when I came here." Wen Lin said unhurriedly with a gentle smile on his face.

Lin Xingwei pulled out the cork, took a sip, and opened his eyes wide, "It's sweet, it's honey water!"

The corner of Wen Lin's mouth turned up, and he said with a smile: "This is the cliff honey that my mother brought from Beihai County. Drinking it in summer can relieve heat and cool down, and drinking it in winter can relieve cough and nourish the lungs."

"Brother knows how to keep in good health." Lin Xingwei took a few sips and put the cork back, and gave it back to Wen Lin, who took it and naturally pulled out the cork and drank.

Lin Xing was slightly taken aback, and asked, "You don't dislike that I drank it, and you drink it without wiping it?"

Wen Lin glanced at her and said, "What do you mean by what my sister dislikes? You mean you dislike me?"

Lin Xing smiled slightly, "I don't dislike it, I don't dislike it."

A group of people quickly passed under the palace wall in front of them. The leaders were all tall and straight, with sonorous and powerful steps. Although they were wearing the same mourning clothes, they could be seen as military generals at a glance.It was dusk, and Lin Xingwei didn't see their faces clearly. .

Lin Xingwei muttered, "They came after the ceremony is over?"

Wen Lin drank the last sip of honey water, hung the water bag back around his waist, and said with a frown, "It's General Lu and Wei Mingji. During the funeral of the Empress Dowager, they are busy with things and don't need to keep watch. Fragrance is fine."

Lin Xingwei suddenly remembered something, and asked, "Wei Mingji is also from Beihai County, brother, did you hear that his elder brother was also given away by his parents?"

"Who said that?" Wen Lin turned around and looked at Lin Xingwei in surprise, "It's not true."

Lin Xingwei looked around and saw that the people around him were far away, so he lowered his voice and said, "No one said, brother just said whether he knew about it or not."

Wen Lin frowned, as if he was unwilling, and said, "Shouldn't you talk about other people's family affairs?"

Seeing Lin Xing staring at him slightly, he had no choice but to say: "The second room of the Wei family only has two sons, and after sending away the youngest son, Wei Mingji, how could they send away the eldest son? It's just...it doesn't make much difference whether you send it away or not. This Wei Mingji The elder brother's name is Wei Mingxu, the two brothers are twins, and their appearance looks like they were carved out of the same mold."

"Wei Mingji has been fighting in the army these years, but he is not as good-looking as his elder brother. His elder brother has promised the Taoist school and asked for immortality. The elders of Wei's family will not allow him to become a monk. Wei Mingxu is lucky, and he directly set up a small Taoist temple at home. , all day long behind closed doors, the Wei family's second family has children as if they have no children..."

"Oh..." Lin Xingwei let out a sigh. It turned out that Wei Mingji meant that his parents sent their brothers away. One of them was sent to the army, and the other was sent to the fairy gate. There may be some reasons why outsiders are not worth mentioning.

Wen Lin continued: "The affairs of his family are not a secret thing in Beihai County. Wei Mingxu got married when he was 15 years old, but his new daughter-in-law fell ill and died a year later. The secular world is disappointed, but the Taoist is in his heart, he is also a poor person."

Lin Xingwei stirred the hemp rope around his waist, and let out a long sigh, "The appearance of happiness in this world is mostly the same. Parents are present, husband and wife are loving, children are filial, and the family is rich, but this poor appearance has thousands of people. If we compare them carefully, we are still happy like this, at least we are not disappointed with the world, and we still want to get married and live a life of daily necessities.”

Wen Lin raised his hand to scratch Lin Xingwei's nose, and said with a smile, "I used to think I was unlucky, but since I came to the capital and got you as my sister, I feel happier than anyone else."

Lin Xingwei laughed happily, "Me too."

A white figure suddenly sat next to Lin Xingwei, Lin Xingwei was startled, the two of them looked carefully and found that it was Wei Mingji.

Wei Mingji squinted at the two of them, mockingly said: "The two of you are really close, those who know know that you are sworn brothers and sisters, those who don't know think that Princess Ning abandoned Cao Yi and empathized with Wen Shilang."

Lin Xingwei and Wen Lin got up and bowed to Wei Mingji, Wei Mingji accepted it grandly, sat and bowed his hands to the two.

Lin Xing glanced at Wen Lin slightly, and said to Wei Mingji: "General Wei, we've been out for a long time, it's time to go back."

Wei Mingji smiled and didn't speak, Lin Xingwei pulled Wen Lin's mourning sleeves, and walked away first, Wen Lin also turned around to follow.

Wen Lin approached Lin Xingwei with a smile on his head, and asked in a soft voice, "Wei Mingji is still interested in you? He is trying to pry into Mr. Cao's house!"

Lin Xingwei gave him a sharp look, then lowered his head and let out a long sigh, "I'm afraid of him after going back and forth over and over again. I really want to marry Cao Yi quickly and follow him to the post."

Looking at the dark blue sky, Wen Lin looked very melancholy, and said leisurely: "I also regret not marrying Shu Ning early, now it will be three years later."

Lin Xingwei looked at Wen Lin sincerely, and asked, "Brother, we're already engaged anyway. When your future mother-in-law recovers, let Shu Ning's sister-in-law come to the capital to take care of you. It's okay if you don't get married, right?"

Wen Lin reached out and flicked her forehead, cursing: "You want to follow Cao Yi now, but don't use me to talk about things. I am a Confucian scholar and civil servant, and I have to follow the rules and etiquette."

Then he turned around and said: "If you want to avoid Wei Mingji, you can stay behind closed doors, but depending on your temperament, you probably won't be able to lock yourself up. Why don't you go to the third uncle's office, he is in Meng County, not far from the capital, It's also very convenient for you to come back and visit Mrs. Hou."

Lin Xingwei's eyes lit up, "This is a good idea. Today my third uncle came to offer incense to the Queen Mother, and tomorrow I will return to Meng County. After tonight, I don't have to keep a vigil for the Queen Mother. Then tomorrow I will go with Third Uncle Meng County."

Wen Lin clasped his hands on his stomach, said in a refined manner, "There is no need to be so anxious, after the funeral ceremony of the Empress Dowager is over, it will not be too late for you to go."

Lin Xing nodded slightly.
