I do fortune-telling in ancient astrology

Chapter 17 Wen Suiwan's Misty Life

Lin Xingwei had no idea about Wen Suwan, but his second aunt had a lot of ideas. After the birthday banquet, he immediately wrote to his cousin at Yanshan Academy, asking him if Wen Suwan was married, what his family background was, and what his parents did. , How many people are there in the family, how is the conduct of the family... and so on, more detailed than checking the household registration.

The sisters-in-law laughed at the second aunt for a while when they found out, and after the ridicule, each other felt sad for a while.

Mrs. Pei felt sad, and said dejectedly: "You and I don't have a daughter, and Ran Ran has a marriage contract, why are you asking about these things? It's useless."

Mrs. Zhen cast a look of "what do you know" and said: "Such a talented person, of course we have to find out the details. We can't afford it at home, so we can talk to other little girls. Today, the prime minister will send Huang Jialai Father Yuan celebrated his birthday, and he was full of praise for Mr. Wen, his parents and daughter are 16 years old, they are proficient in all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, they are virtuous and obedient, and they will definitely match Mr. Wen."

Madam Hou raised her eyebrows and asked, "Second sister-in-law still wants to be an iceman?"

Mrs. Zhen said: "Why not? Huang Jia and my husband are very close, if we help to settle this matter, he will definitely be grateful to us."

Mrs. Pei said: "Although I don't know what Mr. Wen thinks, but Huang Jia's daughter is not as good-looking as our maidservant. Do you think Mr. Wen likes someone with such good looks?"

Mrs. Pei glanced at Mrs. Zhen, and said: "The third younger siblings are really superficial. Marriage is based on character and family background. Appearance is secondary."

This really suits Lin Xingwei's intentions, but if two people are on a blind date, they naturally look at their appearance first. The other person's appearance suits one's own appetite, and then they are interested in knowing each other's talents, character and family background. It's all empty talk.

Therefore, for her own marriage, Lin Xingwei plans to go out more often, use the heart of making friends to get acquainted first, and then have a long-term relationship, so that she will not be too concerned about whether she is attractive or not.

Now these words are just empty talk, they have to divorce Wei Mingji first before putting them into action.

Mrs. Hou sighed: "When I saw that child today, I felt destined. It's really surprising that the eyebrows and eyes are similar to those of the two brothers."

Mrs. Pei's eyes lit up: "Ran Ran said the same thing, and even came to ask me if I am a relative of our family."

Mrs. Lin and Mrs. Lin went to rest early, and the third uncle lay drunk on the table, still not awake.

The second uncle was sitting with Lin Xingwei to reconcile the accounts, to see how much was spent on today's big banquet, and how many gifts were received.

Hearing the women's conversation, Lin Huaifeng raised his head suddenly, hesitated for a moment and said suddenly: "You don't think it if you don't say it, but I feel like it after reminding me like this, uh...it's not surprising that there are many similar people in the world. .”

Lin Huaifeng waved his hand, and bowed his head again.He felt that this person looked more like his deceased elder brother Lin Huaishan, but he was afraid that the widowed elder sister-in-law would think too much, so he didn't mention it.

Lin Xingwei saw what the second uncle was thinking, and winked quietly, saying that it was too noisy here, and the accounting needs to be quiet, so the two moved the accounting scene to the next room.

As soon as the uncles and nephews entered the room, Lin Xingwei hurriedly pulled Lin Huaifeng to sit down: "Second uncle, Mr. Wen's surname is Wen and his name is Lin, and he looks like someone from our family. Is it true that he is related to our family? What did you think of? wrong?"

"Oh, don't pull me,... I just have some small guesses, don't pester me, I'm leaving." Lin Huaifeng shook off Lin Xingwei to go out, Lin Xingwei stepped forward and blocked the door.

Lin Xingwei pestered: "I didn't ask anything, I just think Mr. Wen is good-looking, so I talked about it."

"It's immoral to talk about other people's rights and wrongs, didn't your mother tell you?" Lin Huaifeng pretended to be displeased, and stretched out his hand to pull the door.

"This isn't talking about right and wrong, I'm just curious. Uncle said that Wen Lin's uncle is Jizhou Mu Wensui, so does uncle know what his father's name is?" Lin Xingwei tried his best to block the door, pestering him endlessly.

Lin Huaifeng saw that he couldn't hide, so he had to sit down silently, "Wen's mother has been a widow for 20 years, who knows who her husband is? I heard that her husband died early, and the child is still a posthumous child. It is not surprising that Mr. Wen follows his mother's surname. There are too many people in Lin', so what does it have to do with our Lin family?"

Oh, it turned out that his father was also dead.

Lin Xingwei's gossip heart was a little lost.Originally, he had imagined the story of the illegitimate child of the Lin family, but he did not expect Wen Suwan's father to die so early, so it had nothing to do with the Lin family.

According to the second uncle, it was all a coincidence.

Two or three days later, the eldest cousin also sent a letter from Yanshan Academy, which wrote: "Mr. , the boy follows Mr. Wen as an example, and vows to study hard and hope to become an official and serve the court as soon as possible, so as not to humiliate the Lin family."

Lin Xingwei sighed, the big cousin got off topic, and missed the point of the second aunt's question.

Without finding out the details of Wen Suwan, the second aunt completely died down, her grand wish of becoming an Iceman was completely extinguished, and the family's gossip about Wen Suwan was completely over.

As the New Year approached, Mrs. Hou received an invitation from Mrs. Ouyang, Mrs. Guang Luxun Cao Rong, saying that she got a new basket of pears, and asked Mrs. Hou to bring her daughter to taste them.

Lin Xingwei was still a little muttering, every household is very busy during the New Year's Eve, it's just a basket of pears, if Mrs. Ouyang is interested, she can just ask someone to send some over, why does she have to invite someone over.

Mrs. Hou has already dressed up and sent Yuzhu to urge Lin Xingwei.

Mrs. He returned Lin Xingwei a golden and blue dress embroidered with cloud and water blue orchids. Lin Xingwei held the hem of the skirt and twirled it around twice, feeling tight in disgust.

This kind of dark blue clothes looks old-fashioned with my mother, let alone her a young girl.

Mrs. He said: "You can wear whatever you want at home, but keep it simple when you go out."

Mrs. Hou is a widow, so she can dress plainly, but Lin Xingwei doesn't need it, she is in the Mood for Love and waiting to get married.

After going out, Lin Xingwei saw his mother wearing "parent-child outfits" with him, but Mrs. Hou was wearing flower blue, which was darker than Lin Xingwei's clothes, and she looked as dignified and simple as mother and daughter.

Luo Fu harnessed the carriage and waited in front of the main gate. When he brought the mother and daughter out, Cao Ruicen's carriage was already waiting beside him.

Seeing Mrs. Hou and Princess Youning coming out, Cao Ruicen hurriedly got out of the carriage and saluted the two with a smile.

Cao Ruicen smiled and said, "I went out to do some shopping, and I knew that Madam Hou of Nanyang and the chief of Youning County were going to my house for a banquet, so I specially waited here."

"Mother, I want to take a carriage with Sister Rui Cen." Lin Xingwei asked Mrs. Hou.

The two little girls are more comfortable sitting together than the serious Mrs. Hou.

After Madam Hou nodded, Lin Xingwei followed Cao Ruicen into the Cao family's carriage.
