Chapter 19 Meeting Wen Suwan Again

"It's freezing and snowy, my father insisted on holding a Sydney banquet, the pears were so cold that I shivered after eating them."

Cao Ruicen had a blunt personality, and said: "That day in the Nanyang Hou Mansion, I saw that the princess could write well. My first cousin's handwriting is the best among all the boys in the family. I'll take you to his study to have a look."

"This...isn't right."

Although Lin Xingwei came and went freely in his cousin's study room, he had never been in the study room of someone he didn't know well.

"What's wrong with this, the brothers are having a banquet in front now, or if the princess is waiting here, I will go and talk to my sister-in-law in the lobby."

Before Lin Xing could respond, Cao Ruicen quickly ran away.

The pond in Cao's courtyard was frozen, and there were still a few withered and yellow lotus stalks stuck on it. Under the thick ice, red fish could still be seen vaguely swimming.

Lin Xing shivered slightly from the cold, breathed on his hands, and took two steps forward.

Bored, he lifted the hem of his skirt and kicked a few small stones on the porch into the pond, watching them bounce a few times on the ice.

The place was empty, and suddenly heard footsteps approaching slowly from far to near, thought it was Cao Ruicen, Lin Xingwei raised his head to look, but it was a handsome young man dressed in brocade clothes.

The man was startled when he saw Lin Xingwei, and then he walked over quickly, "Why is Princess Youning here alone?"

Today, Wen Lin wore a white jade scroll beam crown, and wore a purple-sand-brown collar with indigo-colored moiré brocade brocade around the breast, a purple-sand-brown leather belt wrapped around his waist, and two strings of pendants.

Today's dress is more elegant than the last time I came to Nanyang Marquis's Mansion, and it looks more refreshing and elegant, with a rich and handsome appearance.

When he saw Lin Xingwei, he smiled kindly, his eyes were bright and his teeth were shining brightly.To Lin Xingwei, it was like an elder to a junior.

Seeing Wen Lin, Lin Xingwei couldn't help but think of his second aunt's interrogation of his "hukou", and the letter from his eldest cousin that was off topic, Lin Xingwei wanted to laugh.

Lin Xingwei squatted down and bowed to Wen Lin, and said, "I'm waiting here for the younger sister of the Cao family, why is Mr. Wen wandering around alone? Didn't you come with Guan Xingyun today?"

Wen Lin chuckled, and said: "During the New Year's Eve, Guan Xingyun invites many banquets, and his net worth is getting higher and higher. I can't afford it anymore. Last time I celebrated Duke Lin's birthday, it took me two months of salary to invite him."

Lin Xingwei took a step back, distanced himself from him, and said, "Why didn't you tell me earlier that my mother should pay you back. If my eldest cousin didn't make trouble that day, that banquet should have been the happiest."

The smile on the corner of Wen Lin's mouth didn't let go, and he continued: "I originally invited Guan Xingyun here to celebrate Duke Lin's birthday, so what's the matter if you pay me?"

Wen Lin stood side by side with Lin Xingwei on the porch, watching the fine snow particles drifting into the frozen pond, bouncing and rolling down again, Wen Lin had no intention of leaving.

Lin Xingwei raised his eyes and looked into the distance. Cao Rong and Wei Mingji, who was wearing an agate gray velvet cloak and half a silver mask, walked side by side through the gap between the houses and headed towards the back hall of the Cao family.

Wei Mingji seems to have never taken off the mask covering his mouth and nose when he was outside, so how did he drink and eat at the banquet?As Lin Xingwei thought about it, he couldn't help but tilt his head to one side.

Wen Lin seemed to have seen Lin Xingwei's thoughts, and said, "It's not surprising that Princess Youning is full of curiosity about her future husband. Wei Mingji is a mysterious person. If the princess marries him, it will be a lot of trouble."

Lin Xing glanced at him slightly: I still need you to remind me?
Wen Lin ignored Lin Xingwei's slanted eyes, and continued: "He may not be able to help you at all in all the human relations, and you have to worry about it. You see, he even has to eat for him alone. Setting up a table in the back hall is more troublesome than His Majesty's presence. I don't know what Master Cao invited him to do? What I know is that Master Cao invited people from the Shangdu Mansion to the banquet. I don't know, I thought he was invited to play Nuo The dancers have come to sacrifice to ghosts and gods."

Lin Xingwei put his hands into his sleeves uncomfortably, this Wen Lin looked elegant and suave, and didn't want to be full of sour words.

Lin Xingwei raised his head and said, "Uncle Cao has reason to invite whoever is invited, what are you guessing here?"

Lin Xing was slightly displeased, and continued: "As far as I know, my father and Uncle Ling have not seen each other for 20 years. We are neither relatives nor friends with the Wen family. Mr. Wen suddenly congratulated my grandfather on his birthday, which made our whole family feel uneasy. .”

Wen Lin's expression froze, and he questioned: "Afraid? What do you mean? Although our two families have no contact now, many years ago, your father and my uncle were close friends who talked about everything."

He straightened his expression again, seemed displeased, and continued: "My father passed away suddenly. My uncle was sad for several days, but he didn't come to the funeral due to his busy schedule. He specially asked me to visit the Lin family after arriving in the capital. Visiting on the occasion of Mr. Lin's birthday, I didn't expect to make your whole family panic."

Wen Lin stood with his hands behind his back, never looking at Lin Xingwei again.

Wrong word!Lin Xingwei scolded himself secretly in his heart.

Lin Xingwei's mind turned quickly, and after thinking for a moment, he said loudly: "Mr. Wen can't blame us. Mr. Wen thinks about it for himself. He hasn't seen each other for more than [-] years. If it were my father who suddenly visited Wen's house, he would not even have a greeting card." No, don't your whole family think my father is abrupt?"

Wen Lin suddenly smiled, turned his face, and said: "This is indeed Suiwan's fault. On that day, I was having a party with some friends at the Jingshui Tower. I heard someone mention that it was Mr. Lin's birthday, so I hurriedly pulled Guan Xingyun away." Come together, we should apologize to the Lin family at the end of the year."

As Wen Lin spoke, he gave Lin Xingwei a scribe's salute.

Lin Xingwei was in a hurry to get away, and didn't want to continue talking with him. There were so many distinguished guests in Cao's residence today, if she was seen with Wen Lin, gossip might spread.

Wei Mingji can be unkind, but she can't be unrighteous. It is the Lin family who are hurt by gossip.

She stretched her neck to look at the end of the corridor intentionally, and muttered, "Why isn't the younger sister of the Cao family here?"

Wen Lin saw what she was thinking, and said, "Master Youning, don't be in a hurry to leave, I still have something to tell you."

Lin Xingwei had no choice but to look away from a distance, looking anxiously at Wen Lin.

Wen Lin continued: "Uncle said that I look like the Lin family, but I still didn't believe it. When I saw him that day, I realized that Uncle was not lying. Since we are so destined, I will recognize you as my little sister."

What are you farting!Lin Xingwei almost blurted out a bad word, and looked at him with a sad face.

Wen Lin said unhurriedly: "Princess, don't be surprised. Although our two families have not seen each other for many years, my uncle has never forgotten your father for a day. So, how about our two families continue their relationship?"

Lin Xingwei frowned even tighter, "Your uncle never told you why our two families broke off ties for 20 years?"

She was about to reject Wen Lin's absurd request, and went to see a maid who hurried over at the corner at the end of the corridor, and waved when she saw Lin Xingwei.

"Master Ning, it's too bad!" The maid ran to Lin Xingwei out of breath, not even caring about etiquette, and said anxiously:

"She told her father and brother about the matter of the county master splashing the Xinan county master's pear ointment. Now her elder brother is asking for an explanation in front of my wife. Our girl couldn't resist, so I called the servant to pass the message to tell the princess to go home quickly, Nanyang Mrs. Hou asked the princess to go to the hall together to explain the matter clearly, whether to go or not, the princess can decide on her own."

"Did you pour Chenxi Nanli ointment?" Wen Lin looked at Lin Xingwei in astonishment, unable to believe that this seemingly delicate girl in front of him would do such an outrageous act of splashing someone.

"What's the answer! Am I the kind of person who hides when things happen?" Lin Xingwei ignored Wen Lin and left with the little maid.

Wen Lin followed behind unexpectedly, he was going to see how Lin Xingwei would resolve this commotion.
