Chapter 157 The Ex-Boyfriend Was Promoted

Yunzhu felt that she was talking too much, so she kept silent and smoked her clothes silently.Lin Xingwei is a person who can calm down and sit still, even if she sits in front of the piano for a whole day, as long as no one disturbs her.

Before she could find out where she played the wrong note, a servant girl came outside to report: "Young Master and Young Master Zhi Ang are here, Madam invites the Princess to meet guests in Qingsong Hall."

Lin Xingwei frowned solemnly, Cao Yi came to pick A-Cen back home, it was inevitable that the third room of the Lin family would visit, and mother sent it away by herself, why did she go over?

Seeing that Lin Xingwei was hesitant, the servant girl at the door said again: "Madam said that Mr. Zhi Ang's visit is for etiquette, and both young masters are here, so the princess doesn't have to worry."

Lin Xingwei closed the piano score, put the dustproof shirt on the baby Yaoqin, and then got up and went to Qingsong Hall.

Lin Xingwei's residence was the closest to the backyard and farthest from the front hall. When she went, Cao Yi had already had a cup of tea accompanied by his two cousins.

Lin Xingwei raised his head and did not see his mother inside the door, only his two cousins ​​and Cao Yi.Lin Xingwei heaved a long sigh, probably because her mother didn't want to see Cao Yi, so she asked Lin Xingwei to meet her.

She made up her mind to lift Luo Qun and walked in, and sat down on the first seat on the left.

Cao Yi bowed his head to salute Lin Xingwei, his white hair was clearly visible, and he said polite words: "I'm here to pick up A-Cen, and I'm here to pay a visit to Madam Hou and the princess, and present a gift. If it's not a respect, please accept it."

Cao Yi put a box of black lacquer and gold on the short-legged table in front of Lin Xingwei, and opened it himself. It was a box of exquisite butter puff pastry.

This is what Lin Xingwei liked in the past, Cao Yi still remembers it.

Lin Xingwei glanced at it, closed the lid silently, and said softly: "The dim sum is exquisite, I will honor my mother, Brother Cao has a heart."

Lin Chengan smiled and said: "Sister Ran Ran doesn't know yet, Zhi Ang has been promoted, and now he is the county magistrate of Heshang County, so Ran Ran should also call him Cao Juncheng."

Lin Xingwei got up and bypassed the banjiao case, and came to the front to salute Cao Yi respectfully, and said with a smile, "Congratulations for seeing Cao Juncheng."

With affection in Cao Yi's eyes, he said softly: "I also want to congratulate the princess. I heard that the princess is engaged to General Wei, and the wedding ceremony is also on the agenda. I am waiting to drink the wedding wine between the princess and General Wei."

Lin Xingwei said: "I'm afraid that your lord will be busy with business and will not be free at that time."

Cao Yi smiled and said: "As long as the princess invites me, I will definitely come. I am afraid that the princess and General Wei will not give me invitations to avoid suspicion."

Lin Xingwei hurriedly said: "Where is this? My second cousin and Ah Cen are married, and the Lin and Cao families are related by marriage. If I get married, I will definitely post a post to Prime Minister Cao."

"That's fine."

"Master Jun Cheng, Ran Ran, stop standing, sit down and talk." Lin Tingyu said.

Cao Yidao: "I just paid a visit to the grandparents of the Lin family, and also to the wife and princess. Now it's time to take my sister home. I dare not stay any longer. My father and mother are still waiting, so I will leave first."

Lin Chengyu said: "Alright, Ah Cen is already waiting."

Lin Xingwei and Lin Tingyu sent Cao Yi and Lin Chengan away respectfully.

Lin Tingyu looked at Cao Yi's high-spirited back in a satin robe, and said leisurely, "I'm proud of being a magistrate. If I can become an official in the court in the future, I'm afraid my eyes will grow on my forehead."

"Why does my cousin say that about him? I see that Zhi Ang is very respectful to the two cousins." Lin Xingwei turned around and sat back in front of the short-legged table, opened the black lacquer and gold food box, salivated at the delicate snacks, and silently took Take a look and put it down slowly.

The carvings on the dim sum are so lifelike, they are simply incomparable works of art, Lin Xingwei dare not touch them.

Lin Tingyu chased him in, sat cross-legged beside Lin Xingwei, and said, "Cheng'an married his younger sister. My aunt and Mrs. Ouyang have a very close relationship. He is very humble to us brothers and sisters. I heard that he was promoted to Shanghe County." After Cheng Cheng, two officials from the capital came to visit with gifts, and the door was closed."

"I'm new here, so I'm afraid it's just to avoid suspicion." Lin Xingwei moved a little closer and asked suspiciously, "I don't know when Zhiang was promoted to Shanghe County."

"What happened half a month ago, you only think about Wei Mingji, you don't know what happened to him is normal." Lin Tingyu poured the tea by himself, picked up a piece of butter puff pastry and stuffed it into his mouth desperately, Lin Xingwei had no time to stop it , he has already eaten.

"I haven't tasted it yet!" Lin Xingwei pouted in displeasure.

Lin Tingyu smiled, "You and Cao Ruicen are close, so I'm not afraid that you won't have such good snacks in the future. You saw it on the day you got married, right? The woman next to Zhiang was a new wife a month ago. Jingzhao Yin’s youngest daughter. That’s why Zhiang was promoted from Bingzhou Gongcao to Shanghe Commander. These excellent dim sum are also made by his new daughter-in-law.”

Lin Xingwei's eyes widened, she was so dazed that she couldn't speak, she had eaten something astounding, and her tongue was tied up: "Then what about Miss Fang? It wasn't a year ago that Mrs. Ouyang was hired. Is it gone?"

Lin Tingyu snorted and said, "Fangzhou Mu clung to Cao's family, which caused him to be reprimanded, and also caused Cao's father and brother to be fined. At that time, everyone in the capital watched the jokes of Cao's father and son. It is said that the Cao family lost the big because of a small loss, how can Mrs. Ouyang accept the Fang family girl, even though it is not good to take the Fang family's soldiers and horses, she will resign and become a concubine."

Lin Xingwei felt like a lump in his throat, and took a sip of tea to suppress his shock.

Lin Tingyu took a sip of tea, and said again: "I heard that Cao Yi has made friends with officials everywhere in Bingzhou in order to gain power over the past year, and those officials in Bingzhou have also taken a fancy to Cao Yi's background, so Cao Yi promised them a lot of benefits. , These people are also willing to do things for Cao Yi, and they are sending beautiful women to Cao Yi to give him a house, and they are also building a ladder for Cao Yi to seek profit. In order to balance all parties, Cao Yi lives in different places every day. Only then did Cao Yi make his way to Shanghe County."

Lin Tingyu snorted coldly, and said again: "Alcohol hurts the body, look at his white hair, he is young but depressed."

Lin Xingwei's spine was numb when she heard this, she couldn't believe that Cao Yi had such ability, but when she thought of his slippery behavior at the wedding banquet the day before yesterday, she couldn't believe it.

Lin Cheng'an patted Lin Xingwei on the shoulder and said: "You and Cao Yi were right to withdraw from the marriage at the beginning. If you didn't withdraw from the marriage at the beginning, he would still use whatever means to climb up. There is a family outside the family, and you might not be able to squeeze it even if you cry." Tears came out. In the past two months, he has married two average wives, one from the Liu family and one from the Zhang family, and he does not know how much he has paid in private."

Lin Xing pursed his lips slightly, his heart was sore, he choked up a little and said: "He is not climbing up here, he is obviously destroying his own future."

"The hexagram I gave him at the beginning said that Zhi Ang would be successful in his official career in the future. I didn't expect him to use this method."

Lin Tingyu said again: "Cao Yi has now arrived in Shanghe County, and he has made friends with officials from the capital, and we are related again, and we will inevitably have contacts in the future. I think Cao Yi looks at you as if he still has affection for you. In the future, you Pay more attention and avoid it if you can."

"So what if there is love? Do I want to retire such a good General Wei and marry Cao Yi again? Am I going to be his wife or a concubine?"

Lin Xing calmed down slightly, and said leisurely: "Although my heart is also...but that is the simple Cao Yi in the past, not the current Cao Yi. How could I ruin my own future for him."

Lin Xingwei stood up and asked, "Brother, do you have any good books? Lend me some to read?"

Lin Tingyu said: "Yes, you have, haven't you been learning the piano recently and don't want to read?"

Lin Xingwei picked him up from the mat and dragged him outside, "I don't practice the piano anymore, I want to read books, those books that teach people how to behave, I want all of Confucius, Mencius and Yan Zeng..."

"You have all of Confucius, Meng and Yan Zeng. I recently got a new copy of "A Mirror of Life", do you want it?"

"Yes, is there anything else?"

"'Tao Te Ching', 'Zhuangzi', 'Wenzi', 'Guiguzi' and a 'Liezi', all for you!"

"Good good..."
