I do fortune-telling in ancient astrology

The servants tidied up the bedroom slowly, Mrs. Ouyang dragged Cao Yi to the study, Lin Xingwei and Cao Ruicen followed silently.As soon as she reached the door, Mrs. Ouyang turned around and said coldly, "Youning, come in. Ah Cen waits outside first."

Cao Ruicen frowned, glanced at Lin Xingwei, and complained: "Well, you are a family, and sooner or later I will marry an outsider."

Lin Xingwei helplessly put the velvet cloak on Cao Ruicen's shoulders, and said, "I'll go in first, don't freeze outside!"

Cao Ruicen angrily tore off the velvet cloak and stuffed it to Lin Xingwei. With a sullen face, he turned around and left with the two maidservants. What are you jealous about?"

Taking a sideways look at Cao Ruicen's angry back, he walked in, gently closed the door, and obediently sat down beside Cao Yi.

Mrs. Ouyang saw the young couple sitting down, and began to teach her a lesson. After glancing at Cao Yi with stern eyes, she taught in a gentle tone: "You are the magistrate of this county, don't say they are local officials, they are the officials of the capital, the imperial court, etc. Officials, you shouldn't show others a cowardly and weak appearance, the more you are like this, let alone those with higher rank than you, even servants will look down on you."

Cao Yi said silently: "The son has written down what the mother said, and the son is already learning to change."

Mrs. Ouyang is really, she said that Cao Yi is not and she avoids her, even Lin Xingwei feels uncomfortable, how can Cao Yi feel better.Cao Yi is a man after all, and he has already started to be an official director. Don't you want to lose face?

Lin Xingwei took Cao Yi's hand, cheered him up, and said to Mrs. Ouyang in a sweet tone: "Madam, Zhiang is an official. He was trained in the army before and has never dealt with local government affairs. Now I can only follow the command of the county magistrate to do things, and after another year or so, when everything is mastered, Zhi Ang will definitely grow up, and it will definitely make people look up to him."

Mrs. Ouyang snorted, "You will protect him." She gave Cao Yi a doting look, and said: "Zhiang, don't blame me for smearing you in front of the princess. You know how to deal with things, but fortunately the princess doesn't dislike you, you have to treat the princess well in the future."

Cao Yi reluctantly pursed his lips and said in a low voice, "Son, remember."

Lin Xing patted Cao Yi's hand with a smile, and said with a smile: "Zhi Ang is soft-tempered, but such a person is the most kind, a kind person will not have bad thoughts, and will do everything for the good. I believe that Zhi Ang can be the county magistrate well."

Cao Yi returned an embarrassed smile.

Mrs. Ouyang straightened her expression, "Just now I heard that His Royal Highness is coming to Danyang County soon, I will write to your father today and transfer your second brother from the station to help you. Do some meritorious service in the bandits, and then find someone to speak for you in the court, and transfer you to the capital."

Lin Xingwei looked at Cao Yi in surprise, and Cao Yi looked at Mrs. Ouyang in surprise, and said falteringly: "Mother, I have struggled to do even a small county magistrate, and the affairs of the capital are more complicated. Didn't you put me on the fire?"

The tea bowl in Mrs. Ouyang's hand was placed heavily on the table, and she acted oppressively, and asked: "Do you want to be like... want to be the county magistrate for the rest of your life?"

Who do you want to be like?Lin Xingwei knew in her heart that Mrs. Ouyang was talking about the third uncle Lin Huaiyue, but the third uncle had been the county magistrate for more than ten years. Love to engage in speculative tricks.

Lin Xingwei had been in Meng County for a few months, and Lin Xiancheng's reputation among the people was very good. It can be seen that the third uncle has done things for the people.

Lin Xingwei looked displeased, lowered his eyes and bowed his head without speaking.

Cao Yi straightened up, finally got angry, and said in a choked voice: "What's wrong with being a county magistrate for a lifetime? If I can make achievements for the people, this life is enough! What does mother want from me? To earn fame and fortune? To be a high official?"

Mrs. Ouyang stared at Cao Yi with a serious face, her chest heaved violently, she patted her chest, and asked loudly: "You don't want to earn fame and fortune, or become a high-ranking official, who am I coming all the way for?!"

Cao Yi burst into tears, extremely sad and angry, and said: "Is the mother here to offend them? Haven't I heard the training from my parents, brothers and sisters at home? Why did the county magistrate Huang say that my mother can't stand it anymore? Is there anyone who is not angry at doing things? Hasn’t father been angry with His Majesty? Haven’t my elder brothers been angry with others? Why can’t I bear it? My mother seems to be kind to me, but she offended me in just a short meal Even if my mother can't transfer me to the capital tomorrow, isn't mother afraid that they will bury me alive after you leave?"

"They dare!" Mrs. Ouyang's face turned red, and the first thing to suffer was a tea bowl in her hand, which was smashed to pieces.

"Why don't they dare? Mother really thinks those are wild bandits. If no one is behind them, how can they run rampant for so long? Didn't you hear what the county sheriff said, they can't stop killing them, the prince came to appease them, not encircle them If my mother made such a high-profile visit, she might have already been targeted. If my son really died at the hands of those people, who can my mother find to avenge me?"

Cao Yi got up slowly, and bowed to his mother, "I just ask my mother not to insist on justice for me. I'm already grown up, and I'm more familiar with the affairs of Tong County than my mother. I will handle it myself."

Lin Xingwei let out a long breath, she sat quietly, this was a matter between the two of them, and it was also a matter related to Cao Yi's future, she couldn't intervene, and she didn't dare to intervene.

Mrs. Ouyang was speechless for a long time, she obviously listened to Cao Yi's words, suddenly raised her head and looked at Cao Yi with firm eyes, got up and shook her sleeves angrily, opened the door and went out.Cao Yi finally breathed a sigh of relief and sat down slowly.

He turned his face, held Lin Xingwei's hand, looked at her expectantly, and asked softly: "Xingwei, do you really think I'm cowardly? Do you also think that I can't be the magistrate?"

Lin Xingwei smiled slightly, raised a hand to touch Cao Yi's tear-stained face, and said softly: "I never thought you were cowardly, you just lacked experience, and no one knows how to do things since he was born."

"Actually, if you want to make achievements, starting from the local grassroots is the shortest way. As the saying goes, those who win the hearts of the people win the world. Although we can't win the world, as a parent, we can win the support of the people, do practical things for the people, and seek benefits. It is the greatest achievement in this life... Zhiang, you don’t need to listen to what other people say, you just listen to what the people say, if they say you are wrong, then you are wrong, if they say you are good, then it is true good."

Cao Yi finally laughed through his tears, "I knew you understood me."

He wiped away his tears and asked: "My mother offended several adults today, would you like to accompany me to apologize to them?"

"Apologize?" Lin Xingwei's Ka Zilan looked at Cao Yi with big eyes, and said softly, "Zhi Ang, you don't need to apologize. Although Madam has a tough attitude today, she didn't say anything to slander them. From now on, you only need to do what you are supposed to do. Repayment to several adults."

"Since we have come to be this official, we can bow to the people, but we must not bow our knees to the power."

Cao Yi's eyes were suddenly charming, as if he could drown Lin Xingwei in an instant, and said after a while, "Xingwei, you are so kind, if we can get married as soon as possible, with you by my side, I will be a good parent officer."

Lin Xing smiled shyly, and lowered his eyes, "I also want to marry you as soon as possible, but the queen mother passed away suddenly, and we, as officials, have to mourn for the queen mother for three years, so we can't hold a wedding."

She suddenly raised her face, her eyes were as bright as the sun, "Three years, three years later, I will definitely marry you."

Cao Yi said with tenderness in his eyes, "Okay, I will marry you in three years."
