I do fortune-telling in ancient astrology

On the second day after Mrs. Hou's birthday, the Cao family came to hire. On this day, Mr. Cao specially asked the court for leave and came in person. Not only Mr. Cao came in person, but also Cao Yi's two elder brothers and Cao Ruicen who were in the capital. They all came, so the whole family came to hire, which gave the Lin family enough face.

Although the dowry was not as rich as Wei Mingji's, it still filled the backyard of the Hou Mansion.

Lin Xingwei met Li, and after the two families had dinner together in the afternoon, the Cao family set off to return home. Lin Xingwei deliberately stopped Cao Yi, pulled him to a secluded place, and asked, "Have you thought about how to return Wei Mingji's gift?" ?”

Cao Yi stared blankly at Lin Xingwei, and said, "We are not married yet, so we have to wait until we are married to return the gift."

Lin Xingwei said: "Before we got married, someone gave us a gift. You can return Wei Mingji's gift with me today."

"Ah? Today? But I haven't prepared anything." Cao Yi panicked and looked towards the gate of the Hou Mansion. If his parents and brothers hadn't gone far, he could catch up and discuss it, but they couldn't see anyone. up.

Lin Xingwei pulled his arm to make him look at her, and said, "I've already prepared the ceremony, you don't need to prepare any more, just go with me."

Not allowing Cao Yi to hesitate, Lin Xingwei grabbed his hand and walked towards the back door of the Hou Mansion.Luo Fu had already prepared the carriage and was waiting at the back door, the two got into the carriage straight away, Luo Fu rode away without saying a word.

Lin Xingwei had already found out that Wei Mingji had moved back to live in the Lu Mansion after retiring from his marriage, and only lived in the Wei Mansion these few days. Lin Xingwei thought that while he was at home, he would do the things that should be done first. If he returns to the Lu residence in the future, he will inevitably run into General Lu and Mrs. Lu again. The less people know about her meeting Wei Mingji, the better.

The carriage stopped in front of the gate of the Wei Mansion. Lin Xingwei was so flustered that he didn't look carefully when he got married that day. Looking at it again today, the gate of the Wei Mansion is really tall and majestic. Such a big house can accommodate fifty people. Wei Wei The couple have already returned to Beihai County, it's too wasteful to only live with Wei Mingji at the moment.

At that time, people’s houses were built as tall and magnificent as temples, and the summer was cool, but the winter was not very warm, so four or five braziers were needed to bake in one room. But after entering the house, there is still a brazier to roast, and the quilt is still warm when sleeping at night.

Lin Xing glanced slightly at Cao Yi, who was more nervous than himself, and then looked at the magnificent lintel of Wei Mansion, as if Wei Mingji transformed into a few owls on the roof and was looking at him viciously.

The gate of the Wei Mansion was closed tightly, and several guards at the gate were waiting.

Lin Xing said weakly: "Why don't you go up and call the door?"

"Still... you should go, I'm not familiar with General Wei." Cao Yi carefully glanced at Lin Xingwei and then at the gate of Wei Mansion.

Lin Xing gave him a ruthless look, and said angrily, "Am I familiar with him? He is not as familiar as I am with Mao Maoshishi!"

"Then, that's fine, I'll go." Cao Yi seemed to feel that he had touched Lin Xingwei Nilin, and after hesitating for a while, he moved forward.

Cao Yi was about to talk to Yangdi's defenders at the gate, when the door of Wei's mansion was half opened suddenly, Zuo Qiuzhi walked out and walked straight to Lin Xingwei.

Lin Xingwei was just thinking about how quickly this guy's leg injury would heal. At that time, he thought he would have to rest for half a year. Unexpectedly, he could walk as usual in less than four months. Zuo Qiuzhi was wearing armor and a mask, holding his hand on his waist. Saber, it seems that it has been working normally.

Wei Mingji really invited famous doctors and medicines to treat Zuo Qiuzhi, that's why he recovered so quickly.Wei Mingji is really a good leader for taking such good care of his subordinates.

Seeing Zuo Qiuzhi come out, Cao Yi walked with him and stood beside Lin Xingwei, Zuo Qiuzhi bowed his hands and said, "Our general has been waiting for the princess for many days."

Lin Xingwei couldn't see Zuo Qiuzhi's expression, but only from his tone of voice, he felt that this person was an emotionless talking machine.

"Waiting for many days?..." Cao Yi looked at Lin Xingwei timidly, dissatisfied with the words on his face.

Lin Xing frowned slightly, and looked back: If he wants to say this, what can I do?
Lin Xingwei and Cao Yi followed Zuo Qiuzhi into the room, and were taken to the lobby where Lin Xingwei "twisted against the Confucians" at the wedding banquet. Wei Mingji sat at the head, holding a scroll of bamboo slips to read, wearing a black tunic, black jade Crown, black hair, fair face, deep eyes, the moment Lin Xingwei raised his face and put down the bamboo slips to look at Lin Xingwei, Lin Xingwei's heart couldn't help but tremble.

She was like a prey under the claws of a falcon, before the falcon came to catch it in person, she was sent to the door first because of her timidity.

"The princess is here."

The lobby was empty, and Wei Mingji's voice still echoed a little, making Lin Xingwei and Cao Yi tremble as if they were in the Temple of Hell.

Although Cao Yi is the son of Guang Luxun, he has seen many war scenes with his father and brother, but after all, he was protected too well, and Wei Mingji's title of "Devil General" is out, even if Wei Mingji's face is pleasant at the moment, he is still a little Scared.

Lin Xingwei straightened his expression, relieved the tension in his heart, and said loudly: "The general sent me and Zhi Ang a congratulatory gift for our engagement, this time it's a back and forth gift."

She took out a brocade box from her sleeve and handed it to Zuo Qiu Zhi who was at the side, and Zuo Qiu Zhi handed it to Wei Mingji.

Wei Mingji opened the brocade box, glanced at it coldly, it was what he wanted, then closed the lid and put it under his hands.He raised his black eyelashes and said, "Sit down, Ah Zhi, let's serve tea."

Why sit still, sit down and have nothing to say.

Lin Xingwei pulled Cao Yi and bowed to Wei Mingji, apologizing: "The general is busy, and Zhi Ang and I are going to someone else's house to return the gift, so we won't delay here, let's leave."

The two turned around to leave, when the voice chased after them: "I haven't congratulated the princess yet, but after leaving me, I got a good husband. I heard that Mr. Cao has hired you. When do you two plan to get engaged and get married?" Yi?"

This time, Cao Yi intends to swear an oath of sovereignty, he turned around and said: "My mother has asked someone to look after her life. Marriage is a big event. Our two families plan to hold an engagement banquet after making complete preparations. Invite General Wei to the banquet."

Wei Mingji's eyes darkened, and he said in a deep voice: "If you don't hurry up and marry the girl you like, you won't be afraid that the situation will change if you wait for so long."

Cao Yi smiled slightly, and said: "My family has already hired the princess, and I treat each other sincerely. Sooner or later, the princess will be mine, and I don't worry about changes."

"That's not necessarily the case!" Wei Mingji got up and walked down from the seat, stood opposite Cao Lin and the two with his hands behind his back, and said, "I once hunted an elk, and the elk was injured. I've already boiled water to kill it and cook it in a pot. But when I was about to skin the elk, I let the elk run away. For this reason, I really regret not killing it as soon as I hunted it, which shows that the saying 'sooner or later it will be mine' is not credible."

Lin Xing frowned slightly, and looked at Wei Mingji coldly. He was indeed a falcon and owl, and he thought she was his prey.What about a wounded elk?He is really good at metaphors!
Cao Yi glanced at Lin Xingwei resentfully, and then cupped his hands to Wei Mingji: "How can marriage be compared to hunting? Marriage between a man and a woman is all about mutual happiness. If one party is an elk and the other is a hunter, it is so unequal, and anyone else would be equal." To escape."

"Really?" Wei Mingji took a step closer to the two of them, "In my opinion, it's just that my means are not in place."

Lin Xingwei frowned even tighter, gave him what he wanted, why listen to his useless nonsense, squatted down slightly, took Cao Yi's hand, turned and left.

No matter what you do, unless you kill her and bury her in the Wei family ancestral grave, she will never get entangled with him again.

Back in his carriage, Lin Xingwei told Luo Fu to go faster, until he turned two lanes, Cao Yi said: "I finally know why you divorced General Wei."

Lin Xingwei looked at him, and he said: "In the past, I only heard that he used his power to oppress you. Today, after hearing a few words from him, you know that his words are not speculative. Such a person is really embarrassing for a husband."

Lin Xingwei took the opportunity to complain, with a sore nose, and said: "Zhiang, do you know that ever since I knew I was going to be engaged to General Wei, I have never been happy for a day, he does what he says, and never makes up his mind. Discuss with my family, get married directly without getting engaged, that's all, even the guests of my family are decided by him who to invite and who not to invite."

"My grandfather, grandmother and mother were so angry that I couldn't even see him. On the day of the wedding, I didn't even see him. When Luo Fu found out that he met Chen Xinan privately in the study, I couldn't bear it. Everyone knows that he lost face and then withdrew the marriage."

Lin Xingwei caressed his chest, and now he still has lingering fears, tears in his eyes: "I was really scared. If I was weak and endured this, I can't imagine what life I'm living now. Now he still Threatening me, being a wounded elk and wanting to be skinned and slaughtered, he didn’t regard me as his marriage partner at all, he always treated me as an animal.”

Seeing the pitiful girl in front of her, like a frightened kitten, Cao Yi's heart melted completely. He took out a handkerchief and carefully wiped away the tears from Lin Xingwei's face. He gently stroked the girl's back up and down. Said: "Xingwei, I will definitely treat you well, my parents are loving, I know what a loving couple looks like, I will treat you as well as my father treats my mother, trust you, respect you, we will have business in the future Have a good time."

Lin Xingwei was moved in his heart, another string of tears fell, and he said in a trembling voice: "Zhiang, I met you just after I escaped from Wei Mingji's grasp, you don't know how happy I am, I must have spent a lifetime of good luck to get here Met you."

The two words coaxed Cao Yi to feel a little flustered, thinking that Lin Xingwei would despise him because of his weak personality, but he didn't expect that he would have such a heavy weight in Lin Xingwei's heart.

After today's incident, Lin Cao's relationship has reached another level.Lin Chengan played truant for too long, and Lin Tingyu sent a letter to remind him to return to Yanshan Academy immediately.

At this time, Luting Mountain is full of spring, and there are no longer a few outings. Lin Xingwei and Lin Cheng'an have long wanted to go. These days are Mrs. Hou's birthday, and Cao's family is here to hire, and there are too many things. Now Lin Cheng'an was going back to the academy to study, so the four of them made an appointment to play in Luting Mountain for a day, Lin Cheng'an returned to the academy, and the other three were still studying at Cao's house.
