It was ten o'clock in the day when we returned to Hou's Mansion, and the afterglow of the sun spread over the earth, and the last scorching heat made Lin Xing slightly squint his eyes.

She stepped on the pedals and got off the carriage. The two cousins ​​were going back to the academy the next day. After saying hello, they went back to their respective houses to find their parents.

Madam Hou was also tired from talking today, so she went back to her room to rest after talking to Lin Xingwei.

Luo Fu directed several servants to unload some gifts from the cart, and Mrs. Ouyang sent a lot of silk and satin.There are not many men in the Lin family, and there are few women, so it is fair and just to share these silk materials among the three households.

Lin Xingwei sighed slightly, she had found a good son-in-law for the Lin family, she was satisfied, she stretched her waist and prepared to lie down for a while.

Yunzhu greeted him with small steps, led Lin Xingwei to the corridor, secretly stuffed a hard object wrapped in a handkerchief into Lin Xingwei's hand, and whispered: "General Wei gave it to him, saying that he would like to see you, but he didn't force it. The tea house waits for the princess for half an hour, if the princess doesn't come, he will leave."

Lin Xingwei frowned, and said in disgust: "I have nothing to do with him, why did I see him do it? You return the things to him, no see!"

She happily stuffed the things in her hand back to Yunzhu.

Yunzhu looked tangled for half a second, and said: "Why don't the princess see what this is before we talk about it."

Yunzhu opened the handkerchief in twos and twos, and there was a bright bracelet inside. It was the filigree-studded turquoise bracelet that Wei Mingji wanted to leave at the foot of Luting Mountain in order to threaten Lin Xingwei.

"He's back?" Lin Xingwei picked up the bracelet and took a closer look at it ignorantly, and once again decided that it was hers and not a fake.

Yunzhu said: "My maidservant doesn't know how the princess's belongings fell into the hands of General Wei. This servant will keep this matter a secret for the princess. The word has been delivered, and my maidservant will leave first!"

After Yunzhu finished speaking, she was about to run away.

"Wait!" Lin Xingwei grabbed Yunzhu, hesitated for a moment, and then said: "You ask Luo Fu to change to a carriage, it's inconspicuous, you put on the veiled hat, wait for me to change into clothes, and go together."

It's really not the behavior of a gentleman to meet another man right after getting engaged.Since Wei Mingji returned the filigree bracelet that threatened her, it meant that he would not threaten her again.

That being the case, why didn't she take this opportunity to ask him if the death of her father Lin Huaishan was related to King Yingchuan.If it is true, although the Lin family is unable to compete with the Yingchuan Prince's Mansion, their wives are well aware of it.

Lin Xingwei asked Mrs. He to change into an old-fashioned deep brown clothes with lotus root silk, and together with Yunzhu and Yunzhu, they got out of the carriage and went to the Gospel Teahouse.The owner of the teahouse snatched them away with his clothes, thinking they were girls from some poor family, and refused to let them in.

Lin Xingwei looked around through the veiled hat, but he didn't see Wei Mingji, but he couldn't tell the boss about his home.While hesitating, a man with a black waist and a sword in his waist came over, cupped his hands to Lin Xingwei and said: "My son has been waiting for the girl for a long time, please follow me."

Someone led the way, and the owner of the restaurant did not stop him. Lin Xingwei and Yunzhu followed the man to a box on the third floor. Yunzhu was blocked, and Lin Xingwei entered alone.

The window of the private room was open, and a ray of setting sun shone goldenly on Wei Mingji's face, his fair and translucent face reflected a thin layer of golden light, and he was dressed in a floral blue brocade robe with dark curly waves.

He took off his mask and sat down in front of the tea table, gently stirring the charcoal fire in the small stove with the tongs in one hand, and when the fire ignited, he put the copper pot full of water on the stove.

It is graceful and elegant, Xiao Xiao is solemn, and it is as beautiful as a dream.If nothing else, it's a beautiful picture.Lin Xingwei couldn't hold back, and stared obsessively for a while.

Wei Mingji was making tea seriously, not knowing what was going on in his mind, his fair face was very calm, and he didn't even notice that someone was staring at him.

"Ahem!" Lin Xingwei coughed dryly twice.

Hearing a sound at the door, Wei Mingji raised his head and looked at Lin Xingwei.

Through the veiled hat, she was slightly lost in thought. There are so many beautiful things in this world, colorful flowers in spring, fluttering willows in summer, red, yellow and green leaves in autumn, and endless white flowers in winter. Snow……

No matter how beautiful the scenery is, picking flowers, breaking willows, falling leaves, and stepping on snow will destroy the beauty.

Wei Mingji's appearance is beautiful, just look at it.

Lin Xingwei took off his veiled cap, with a polite smile on his face, and bowed slightly, "What is General Wei looking for me for?"

Wei Mingji lifted the lid of the copper pot, picked up the tea pot, shook some tea leaves into it, and said leisurely: "If I don't return the bracelet to you, you probably won't see me in your life."

Lin Xingwei: "..." You are quite right.

"Sit down." Wei Mingji pointed to the cushion opposite him.

Lin Xingwei sat obediently on the cushion, very close to Wei Mingji, separated only by a narrow tea table.

"My legs are numb after sitting for a long time. It's just you and me here. Let's be more casual."

As Wei Mingji said, he leaned back and leaned on the bed, with one leg crossed and one knee raised, facing a woman who had nothing to do with him, it was really casual.

He was casual, Lin Xingwei didn't dare to be too casual, got up and moved the cushion to the side, and sat cross-legged next to Wei Mingji.

"Are you afraid of me or hate me?" Wei Mingji asked unhurriedly.

Lin Xingwei's expression froze. Wei Mingji was someone she could not afford to offend. No matter how she usually behaved, she was afraid that such words could not be said in the open. After a moment of thought, she said solemnly: "The general and I have nothing to do with each other. , not to mention fear, let alone hatred, but only awe of the general."

"Irrelevant?" Wei Mingji's expression became more and more serious, "Since it is irrelevant, you will come as soon as I invite you. How can this be explained?"

Lin Xingwei: "..."

The water in the copper pot boiled, and the lid of the pot fluttered wildly. Wei Mingji lifted the copper pot unhurriedly, placed two sapphire tea buckets on the tea tray, poured two buckets of tea, and then poured two buckets of tea into the copper pot. Fill with cold water and place back on the small stove.

He pushed a sapphire tea bucket in front of Lin Xingwei, and said slowly, "I think you and I have something to do with each other."

Wei Mingji took a sip of the hot tea soup, and continued: "I know you came here to ask about Mi Lingpei, so I might as well tell you that this matter is a contest between me and the King of Yingchuan. Did he cause the Yingchuan chaos? I'm still looking into the handwriting, I can't say I'm [-]% guilty, at least I can't get rid of it."

Lin Xingwei asked softly, "Then does my father's death have anything to do with King Yingchuan?"

Wei Mingji lowered his eyes, stared quietly at the tea in his hand, and said: "Nanyanghou's death is too long ago, whether he was murdered or not is just my guess based on the association of Chu Wang's son being killed, after all, the secret order Pei is In the hands of the Marquis of Nanyang."

"King Yingchuan is not the only one who is looking for the secret order Pei, and the king of Yingchuan clearly wants me to help me find the secret order Pei. I am now handing the secret order Pei to him through her daughter's hand, just to see his reaction."

"Then what's his reaction?" Lin Xingwei asked anxiously, reaching out and accidentally knocking over the tea in front of him.

Wei Mingji's eyes darkened, and Lin Xingwei knew that she had asked something that shouldn't be asked, so he straightened the tea bucket, took out his handkerchief to clean up the desk, and dared not speak.

Wei Mingji said: "If the follow-up matter involves the Nanyang Marquis Mansion, I will definitely come to the door and report it in person."

"Yeah, okay." Lin Xingwei replied twice nervously.

Wei Mingji refilled Lin Xingwei's teacup with hot tea, his expression softened a bit, "Taste the tea I cooked, it's not worse than Cao Yi's."

Lin Xingwei was speechless again, this is also a comparison.

Wei Mingji continued: "Mrs. Nanyang Marquis is really a good mother, she is willing to do everything for you. If she hadn't dragged Mrs. Su into the palace to beg the queen, I'm afraid you and Cao Yi wouldn't be able to get married, let alone It is said that Cao Yi's official position will come down so soon."

Lin Xing smiled politely, and said softly: "Mother, it's always like this. She is willing to give everything for her children."

Wei Mingji lowered his eyes and smiled, "Yes, my mother did the same. In order to save the lives of my brother and me, she gave us away."

Lin Xingwei was taken aback, and asked suspiciously: "Didn't you say that the general's elder brother stayed at home in Beihai County?..." You were the only one who was given away.

Wei Mingji snorted coldly, "My elder brother is no better than me, let's not talk about it."

He waved his hand, and said, "I heard that you are very diligent in reading, writing, practicing piano and archery. If you accompany Cao Yi to the office in the future, you can also help."

Lin Xingwei is a person without aspirations, she will go wherever life pushes her, and she will resist only when she feels that she has come to a dead end, just like she insists on announcing the marriage with Wei Mingji, but there are also things that she cannot resist, such as her getting Gastric cancer died.

For another example, she had predicted that some roads would come to an end, but she would still go on. If it came to an end, she would just turn around. Anyway, she has no way to change her fate.

Her fate has always been like this, there are always many ups and downs to go, and she can't get around it.

Cao Yi's proposal of marriage to her was something she hadn't thought about. She only thought that Cao Yi treated her well, so she agreed.

As for those desperate loves, she has never thought about it, never thought about whether Cao Yi loves her to the point of death, or whether she loves Cao Yi so much that she will not marry him, but only thinks that this person has the same temperament as her and lives It is enough to be safe.

Regarding the relationship with Cao Yi, she also knew it in her heart, she had already calculated it, and it was also a relationship that ended without a problem.

Knowing the result, Lin Xingwei chose to enjoy the moment.At least for now, Cao Yi is the best man she has ever met in her life.As for the others, just take one step at a time.

When she came to this place, it can be said that she was "unfamiliar with the place in life". She didn't know what she could do, so she spent her time reading and writing. The same is true for practicing piano and riding and archery. Whether you can get close or help others is another story.

Lin Xing smiled politely, and said, "I can help Zhi Ang copy the documents, and I can also play the piano for him when he is tired, and go hunting with Zhi Ang when he is free."

After speaking, she picked up the teacup in embarrassment, took a sip, and said with a smile: "The general's tea art is very good, not bad."

"Congratulations!" He held up the tea bucket to respect her, "I got what I wanted and married someone I like."

Lin Xing smiled slightly; "I also congratulate the general, Chen Xinan told me today that she is going to marry you."

Wei Mingji's soft eyes let out a gleam of cold light, he put down the tea bucket he was holding, and said coldly: "I'm afraid she didn't deceive you, even if I don't marry a wife for the rest of my life, I won't marry her."

Lin Xingwei suddenly remembered, she raised her voice, and said with a smile: "I know she lied to me. I heard that the queen wants to marry the third princess to you. The third princess must be much better than Chen Xinan."

Wei Mingji held the tea bucket tightly, and said in a deep voice: "It's not the third princess. I have already asked one person to marry me in my life, so I won't ask others to marry me again. Although you and I have let go, I will never ask someone else to marry me in this life." I won't marry anyone else."

Lin Xingwei stopped laughing abruptly, and fell silent.

Unexpectedly, Wei Mingji was still such an innocent person, Lin Xingwei swallowed the tea in his mouth nervously and panicked, and said in a dazed voice: "General Wei doesn't have to be like this, I'm rebellious and unworthy of a general, my eldest cousin even reprimanded me for it But I don’t know how to be considerate of my husband, there are many good women in this world, General Wei is a celestial figure, and he is in a high position, so open your eyes and look around, you will definitely find someone you like.”

The tea on the stove had already overflowed. Wei Mingji leaned on the table and stared at Lin Xingwei without moving. Lin Xingwei hurriedly lifted the copper pot aside. Why don't you just keep listening to the chugging in the teapot.

"General, you don't have to look at me like that. I'm telling the truth. The general is a good person, but you and I are not suitable." Lin Xingwei said leisurely.

After a while, Wei Mingji tapped the tea table with his long fingers, and said slowly: "I probably regret it, I have regretted it ever since you ran away from my house in the middle of the night, I regretted that I was deeply involved in conspiracy and ignored you , even if a person like me marries a wife, his life will be difficult."

Holding the tea bucket in both hands, Lin Xingwei said with self-knowledge: "What is there to regret? Among the girls in the capital, I am a bit more upright than her, and I am useless. I can't help the general deal with those ulterior motives You can't help the general compete for fame and wealth, the general doesn't have time to accompany me, and I still lose my temper, it's the right thing for the two of us to withdraw from our marriage."

As she spoke, she picked up the copper pot and added tea to the two empty tea buckets.

"...Don't underestimate yourself."

Wei Mingji's expression faded, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, he said again: "I also had a happy time when I was young, but since I was ten years old, I followed my adoptive father and began to learn to fight for fame and fortune. It's all the same, for the sake of family fame and fortune, you are the only one who clings to marriage, but you are not, and you only want to live a stable life."

Lin Xingwei smiled slightly: "You can just say that I'm worthless. My father died, and the position of Marquis is vacant. My mother is alone in the family, and she has to take care of my parents, brothers and nephews left by my father, but I don't help at all. If I don't get her, I have to worry about my affairs, if I am sensible, I won't focus on living a stable life, I should cling to her, and I should fight for fame and fortune for our Lin family."

"...You must know that being born in a noble family, it is difficult to be indifferent to fame and wealth. Mrs. Nanyang Hou probably knows what you want, so she is willing to fulfill you and Cao Yi."

Wei Mingji drank the tea that Lin Xingwei poured for him, and said in a sad tone, "Although you don't pursue fame and wealth, you are passionate about life and have a character that other girls don't have. I like you like this."

Lin Xingwei was speechless again.

Wei Mingji continued: "Fortunately, you and I have already retired, and it's also fortunate that you didn't like me in the first place. If it wasn't for this, in the future, when you see my face clearly and know my details, if you don't like me anymore at that time, you will have to wait for me." Leaving me, I must be more uncomfortable than now."

Lin Xingwei was stunned and didn't know how to answer the conversation. She had never understood Wei Mingji, and she didn't want to understand him. Instead of reading a book that she couldn't understand, she would rather read a book that was relaxing and uplifting. Pleasant books, such as Cao Yi.

She has a straight temper and doesn't know how to be roundabout and tactful. When Wei Mingji talked about this, she decided to make it clear.

Lin Xingwei got up and sat upright, and said loudly: "The past is over, and I have already made an engagement with Zhi Ang. From now on, I will only think of Zhi Ang in my heart, and General Wei will stop thinking about me. After today, I will also avoid suspicion and will not see General Wei again. If the matter of the Hou Mansion is involved, the general can go to my mother and don't have to tell me any more."

With a smile on the corner of Wei Mingji's mouth, he quietly waited for her to finish speaking.

"Also, were you the one who spread the rumors about bandaging and healing before? You were the one who stabbed Zhiang and I to the Jingshui Pavilion? From now on, don't engage in such tricks. No matter how you play tricks, I will fight with you." Zhiang is having a good time."

Lin Xingwei was upright, she made everything clear, and she was not afraid of anything.

Wei Mingji giggled, Lin Xingwei stared at him with hatred.

Suddenly, Wei Mingji stopped laughing. He got up and sat upright, and said seriously: "Okay, you can live your life well, and leave the rest to me. I will advise His Majesty and change Cao Yi to a man with beautiful mountains and rivers and simple folk customs. place. You don’t need to thank me, this is my apology to you for what happened in the past.”

Lin Xingwei looked at him suspiciously, and asked, "Master Cao can't do anything about Zhi Ang's errand, but the general can do it?"

Wei Mingji straightened his expression, and said: "Cao Rong is Cao Yi's father, how dare he boast in front of His Majesty and other dignitaries? I am an outsider, and I am not related to Cao Yi, so what I say is more fair, whether it is Your Majesty or someone else, naturally listen."

"Okay." Lin Xingwei raised his eyes and looked out of the window. The night had come and there was already a little starlight. "It's getting late. If the general has nothing else to do, I'll leave first."

Wei Mingji glanced at her with reluctance, pointed at Lin Xingwei's tea bucket and said, "Drink the tea, I'm afraid you will never drink the tea I cooked again in this lifetime."

Lin Xingwei obediently raised the tea bucket and drank it down, tasting a sour taste.Standing up and bowing respectfully, he opened the door without looking back...

It's not Lin Xingwei's style to be nostalgic for things she can't grasp, she always only cares about what she can grasp.Wei Mingji, let him become a gust of wind. When the wind blows, it's a bit chilly. When the wind stops, it doesn't matter.

It's the holidays today, let's update it.
