I do fortune-telling in ancient astrology

During dinner time, Lin Xingwei was nowhere to be seen, and even Luo Fu and Yunzhu were gone. Madam Hou asked the guard at the gate to find out that the three of them had gone out together.

Mrs. Hou couldn't eat anymore, she lazily took two mouthfuls and put down the bowls and chopsticks, and said angrily: "I'm not married yet, so I won't take my mother seriously if I get engaged, and I won't even mention it when I go out so late. One sound!"

Mrs. He carefully scooped up a bowl of soup and put it in front of Mrs. Hou, and said softly: "Madam, don't be angry, the princess has always been well-behaved, maybe it's because I didn't have time to tell my wife when I went out temporarily, and I will ask you later when I come back. "

Mrs. Hou glared at Mrs. He angrily, and said, "Will she say it if I ask?"

He Fu smiled shyly, and said cautiously: "Then don't ask, according to our princess' temperament, she will know everything she wants to say, and she won't reveal a word of what she doesn't want to say."

"That's true. Before she and Cao Yi went to the theater to find Guan Xingyun, she didn't leak any information about it to me. If it wasn't for being seen and spread to the court, I wouldn't know it!" Madam Hou picked up the soup. Wan took a sip, "Forget it, she's grown up too, as long as she knows what to do, I don't have the energy to get to the bottom of her."

When Lin Xingwei came back, Mrs. Hou had already finished her meal, and the maidservants had already cleared the tables, not even leaving a single grain of rice for Lin Xingwei.Lin Xingwei drank tea on an empty stomach for a long time, and now his stomach was rattling when he was walking, so he ran to his second uncle's house and asked his eldest cousin for some snacks.

Lin Tingyu packed her bags for going to the academy tomorrow, and had no time to pay attention to her. Occasionally, she glanced over and found her cousin drooping her head, not very energetic.Then he put down his work, turned around and asked, "Ran Ran, what's wrong with you? But someone bullied you today?"

Lin Xingwei took half a mouthful of pancakes, eyes dull, and said leisurely: "Who will bully me, even His Majesty ordered me to praise me."

"Then why are you... so depressed?"

Lin Xingwei chewed the cake twice, swallowed it, raised her pitiful eyes, and said, "I don't know why, but I just feel so empty and uncomfortable."

Lin Tingyu went in without knowing it, and said: "You are going to get married, so you can't let go of our family. That's right, Cao Yi is going to take up a post, and you have to go with him in the future. It will be a long time since then We are."

Lin Xing shook his head slightly...

He changed his mind and said again: "However, the date of your marriage has not been fixed yet. Even if Cao Yi wants to leave, you still have to wait in the capital for a long time. Are you reluctant to part with Cao Yi?"

Lin Xingwei shook his head again.

"That's not true, that's not true, then why are you sad?... It's hard to guess what you girls are thinking. It's a pity that we don't have any other girls in our family. Otherwise, when you are sad, someone will tell you Talk." Without knowing why, Lin Tingyu turned around and packed his bags.

The eldest cousin is not his confidant, so Lin Xingwei took two more snacks, wrapped them in a handkerchief and stuffed them into his bosom, got up and said: "Eldest cousin clean up slowly, I'm leaving first."

Back in her room, Lin Xingwei was tossing and turning without sleep, the resentment in her heart couldn't be told to others at will, even if she said it, others might not understand it, but if she didn't express it, it would be uncomfortable.

Lin Xingwei thought of Maomao and Shishi, and carried Yaoqin to the kennel in the backyard.Therefore, Lin Xing gurgled and played the piano, the two dogs whimpered and groaned, the dog and the human didn't sleep all night, and the next day, neither the dog nor the human could wake up...

Cao Yi wanted to take care of his appointment, so he couldn't come to Lin Xingwei every day. Cao Ruicen had come here a few times, and every time it was sad, Lin Xingwei was really upset.The matter between her and Lin Cheng'an didn't come to fruition, and Lin Xingwei couldn't help, so they all hid in the country village to water the vegetable garden.

One early morning, Lin Xingwei was about to get into the carriage at the gate of the Hou's mansion to go to the countryside with his back stretched. Suddenly, a three-horse carriage drove towards him. Wen Lin poked his head out of the window and asked, "It's really not easy to cut you off." , I have been here for five or six days in a row, and you have gone to the countryside, so I woke up an hour early today and finally stopped you."

The carriage came to a complete stop, and Wen Lin got out of the carriage gracefully.

Lin Xingwei was still a little confused, and would sleep for another hour every time he got in the car.After she rubbed her eyes, Wen Lin had already stood in front of her.

"What are you doing to intercept me?" Lin Xingwei raised his sleepy eyes and blinked at Wen Lin.

Wen Lin clicked his tongue in disgust, and said: "In the past, you knew how to salute me when you met me. Although it was very perfunctory and some manners, but now you are not even perfunctory. Do you really think you are a village girl?"

Lin Xingwei crouched roguely, and Wen Lin also bowed to her. Before Wen Lin got up, Lin Xingwei had already asked, "Can we get down to business now?"

Wen Lin didn't care about her, straightened his back, and said loudly: "My mother has come to the capital and wants to see you."

"See me?" Lin Xingwei pointed to his nose with a surprised expression, "Why do you want to see me?"

Wen Lin rolled his eyes and said in a choked voice, "Why do you say? I already recognize you as my sister, so why can't my mother see you? Come with me quickly, don't make my mother wait."

Before Lin Xingwei could react, Wen Lin had already pulled her arm to the Wen family's three-horse carriage.

"Wait, at least let me change clothes before going..."

"Your outfit is simple and frugal. It's very good. You don't need to change it."

"Ah, these are the clothes I wear for work, how can I meet people?"

"Very good, my mother would like it."

……

Lin Xingwei was like a thumping goose, being carried into his carriage by Wen Lin.Luo Fu and Yun Zhu had no choice but to take Lin Xingwei's pony carriage and follow the Wen family's car. After their princess finished seeing the elders of Wen's family, they could bring the princess back.

Lin Xingwei sat across from Wen Lin, looking at Wen Lin with hatred, his eyebrows were twisted into wavy lines.

Wen Lin hugged his chest and shrank back, pretending to be afraid, and said, "Don't look at me like this, I'm afraid."

Lin Xing looked at him fiercely, and said: "Can't you explain to me what's on your mind, you're a righteous brother and sister all day long, let others laugh at you."

Wen Lin didn't look like a modest and refined gentleman at the moment, but rather like a rascal, he shrugged his shoulders and said, "You accepted the dowry I gave you, why aren't you brothers and sisters, you obviously agreed before, Now when I hear about my elders, I refuse to admit it! Is there someone like you?"

Lin Xingwei said: "Why do you want me to renege on my debt? It would be polite to call you brother! You are going to give the dowry, and I haven't moved a cent. I will ask Luo Fu to take it back for you tomorrow!"

Wen Lin sighed for a long time, and said: "Isn't it just to meet my mother? What are you afraid of? I have seen your parents and brothers a hundred and eighty times. You are so reluctant to let you meet my elders." ah!"

Seeing that Wen Lin was unhappy, Lin Xingwei stretched his brows, softened his tone, and said, "You said we were sworn brothers and sisters, but this is just a verbal joke."

Wen Lin's eyes widened at once: "What's a joke? I'm serious!"

Lin Xingwei decided to give Wen Linke a good introduction to what true sworn brotherhood is, she asked: "To be sworn brothers, at least you must obtain the consent of the elders of both parties, and you must find a quiet place to offer incense to God. Kneel in front of the incense table and kowtow to God, and then say, 'I don't want to be born in the same year, the same month and the same day, but I want to die in the same year, the same month, and the same day'."

Wen Lin listened quietly to Lin Xingwei's words and did not refute.

Lin Xingwei stared at the silly Wen Lin, and asked, "Did the elders of both sides agree that we are sworn brothers? No. Did we also burn incense and kowtow to God? No! Just verbally and jokingly, it can also be called sworn brothers." ? This is too childish!"

Lin Xingwei just wanted to force him to tell the truth, Wen Lin remained tense and didn't speak, the carriage was terribly quiet for a while, only the noise outside could be heard.

"I... did I say the wrong thing?" Lin Xingwei thought for a while, and she really didn't know what to do, so she let Wen Linre put her cold face on her cold butt, and she hurriedly said with a shy smile, "I was wrong, we are Brothers and sisters, they are real brothers and sisters, okay, brother, don’t be angry, okay?"

Wen Lin turned from grief to joy in an instant, laughed out loud, and said, "I have the heart of a big brother, so I don't know as much as you do."

Lin Xingwei stretched out his empty sleeves and asked, "Are you asking me to meet your mother like this? I can't make a good impression on the old man when we meet for the first time, and bring a gift or something?"

"Uh...my mother doesn't like receiving gifts very much, so it's okay to go empty-handed, mainly because she wants to meet you." Wen Lin said.

"Wouldn't Mrs. Wen say that you have bad eyesight and recognized such an ignorant righteous sister?"

Lin Xingwei had been grinding hard for a while, and the Wen family's carriage finally turned around and returned to the Hou's mansion. Lin Xingwei washed up and dressed up, and then told Mrs. Hou for a big gift. After everything was tidied up, he followed Wen Lin went to Wen's Mansion in Yunhe Lane.

This is the house that Wen Lin bought before he came to the capital. Except for the Lantern Festival, Lin Xingwei's visit is the second visit.There are more flowers and plants placed in the courtyard of Wenfu than before, and two small gardens are separated in the courtyard, which is more smokey than before.

Wen Lindao: "I prepared these for my marriage. I listened to the advice of the Li family girl and planted these plants. But my future Master Taishui is not in good health, and our marriage is far away. I am busy with business and have no time to deal with it." The trivial things in the house, these two gardens are also a bit of an eyesore, and the weeds inside were taken care of by my mother after she came."

Lin Xingwei followed Wen Lin, nodded silently, and asked in a soft voice, "Is Aunt Wen going to stay in the capital to accompany brother?"

"She is only here to see me, and she will go back to the old house left to her by my uncle in Beihai County after a while. She doesn't like the capital city." Wen Lin spoke softly, as if he was afraid that the house would be shocked if he made a loud voice. people in.

Wen Lin and Lin Xingwei just walked to the corridor, and through the bead curtain, a woman's deep voice came from inside: "Sui Wan is back?"

"Yes, mother, I'm back." Wen Lin did not enter, but bowed to the inside through the bead curtain.

The woman inside said again: "I just heard a woman's voice, but that sister you mentioned?"

"Yes." Wen Lin's voice was not as high-pitched as before, but a little deeper, "Nanyanghou's daughter is Princess Ning."

There was a long silence, Wen Lin didn't move, Lin Xingwei looked at him helplessly, he was speechless for a while, Wen Lin asked again: "Can we come in and see mother?"

The woman's voice was a little choked, and she said slowly: "No need, the old lady is feeling unwell, so she won't be seeing the Princess, and at the end of the year, send my regards to the Princess."

Lin Xingwei glanced at Wen Lin in a daze, and said inwardly, "My junior Lin Xingwei paid a visit to Aunt Wen. My mother specially prepared a gift for Aunt Wen. Since Aunt Wen is unwell and doesn't want to see anyone, please leave the gift from this junior. The younger generation will come to see aunt again the next day."

A servant girl came out and took the gift box from Lin Xingwei, and apologized before turning around and going in.

Wen Lin's face was flat, and when the two stepped down from the eaves, Wen Lin apologized and said, "I'm really sorry today, I insisted on dragging you here..."

"It's okay, you stay with Auntie, I'll go first." Lin Xingwei nodded, and was escorted out of Wen Mansion by Wen Lin's attendant Ayou.

Even though they didn't meet each other, Lin Xingwei also noticed the strangeness of Wen's mother, Wen Lin was really more pitiful than herself.
