Chapter 118 The final reflection of love

Author: Liu Xi Haoyue

"You came just after you saw my letter the day before yesterday. In the past few days..." Lin Xing pursed her delicate lips slightly, a blush appeared on her face, and she felt very guilty.

Cao Yi smiled and said: "I have been working hard for four days and rushed to the capital at midnight last night. I couldn't get in after the curfew. I slept outside the city gate last night. I came as soon as the market opened this morning.

"

"If you don't come, we are going to find you." Lin Tingyu said with a gloomy face, "Don't talk about this first, and explain to us what is going on between you and Miss Fang? Do you really want to

Marry her?"

"No, no, no!" Cao Yi waved his hand quickly. He looked at the guards at the door and the pedestrians walking on the street, and whispered: "Can you let me in to talk?"

Lin Xing thought for a while and said softly: "Zhiang, go home and wash up first, change your clothes and come back again. I'll wait for you at home."

Cao Yi hesitated for a moment and handed the package on his back to Lin Xingwei, with a hint of shyness in his nervousness. "These are all the things I collected to give to you. Take it. Just wait for me. I'll be there soon."

Come."

He thrust the package into Lin Xingwei's hand, quickly mounted his horse and left.

Lin Xingwei opened the package and took a look. There was a lifelike puppet, a handsome and cute female doll, and several volumes of slips, transcribing some obscure piano scores...

Lin Xingwei's eyes were a little sore for a moment. In fact, she seldom practiced the piano anymore. She was practicing the ocarina. She had already learned more than half of the hundred songs she and Cao Yi had agreed upon.

It is estimated that Lin Xingwei will be able to learn all one hundred flute songs by the time the old lady's filial piety period is over in a year's time.

Lin Tingyu tilted his head at her, "Ran Ran, this is a lifelong matter for you. You can't be soft-hearted just because you feel sorry for him."

Lin Xingwei put away the things Cao Yi gave her, wiped her tears twice, and said calmly: "Yeah! I said Zhi'ang is not an ungrateful person. The fact that he can ride a horse without sleep for several days to come back to the capital to see me shows that he is

You haven’t forgotten me yet.”

Lin Tingyu raised his hand and ordered the carriages and guards who were parked at the door to go to Bingzhou to retreat. He turned around and went in with Lin Xingwei, saying: "Whether he is ungrateful or not, it's too early to tell now. Let's see how he does later."

explain."

"You go back and wait quietly. I'll invite my father and mother to come and listen to what Cao Yi has to say."

Lin Xingwei ignored it, put down the things in his hands, and told Yunzhu and Mrs. He to prepare some delicious food for the front lobby. He changed into a delicate and elegant Tianshui Biqu dress, and wore two newly made beaded flowers.

, so he went to the banquet hall with his mother to wait.

The second uncle and aunt in the east yard had not yet come, but they were tripped up by Taigong Lin and Mrs. Lin. The old couple insisted on coming together, and even threatened to break Cao Yida's legs if he proposed to break off the engagement. They couldn't let him go today.

He walked out of Lin's house.

They also said that if Cao Rong blamed Cao Rong, they would keep Zhi'ang as a son-in-law in the house. They would rather keep a mutilated son-in-law with a broken leg than a son-in-law with a belly full of frivolous intestines.

Lin Huaifeng and Lin Tingyu tried their best to persuade them for a long time, until they were exhausted, and then Mrs. Zhen persuaded them to go back. The father and son escaped to the Hou Mansion.

Cao Yi said it was very fast indeed. In less than half an hour, he and Mrs. Ouyang came to the door. Dressed in rich clothes and full of energy, he was completely different from the beggar who was in front of the Hou Mansion just now.

Mrs. Ouyang still brought several soldiers to stand outside the hall. The Lin family also had soldiers, but they were far less powerful than the Cao family who had fought in battle. Luofu led Maomao and Shishi to the entrance of the hall like sculptures, but also gave them to the Lin family.

It adds a bit of divine power.

Mrs. Ouyang knew that she had acted recklessly, so she sat on the lower seat without saying a word, looking calm.

Mrs. Hou was not as affectionate with Mrs. Ouyang as before, and she sat at the top with a solemn expression.

Lin Xingwei sat opposite Cao Yi, with a solemn look on his face and remained silent. Lin Tingyu glared at Cao Yi angrily, wishing to tear this man to pieces who was not satisfied with the advantage he got.

The atmosphere in the hall was eerily quiet. Lin Huaifeng coughed dryly and said, "Young Master Cao, please tell me what is going on between you and Miss Fang."

Cao Yi straightened up immediately and explained hurriedly: "Mrs. Nanyang Hou, second uncle, I will tell you the truth. Mr. Zhou Mufang does favor this junior and wants to marry me with a girl. However, I have truthfully told Mr. Fang that I and Youning County are in love."

Regarding the matter of the engagement, I also clearly refused Mr. Fang not to have such delusions!"

Mrs. Ouyang's face was completely dark. She glanced at her son and gritted her teeth without saying a word.

Lin Huaifeng chuckled lightly and asked, "Master Fang is your superior. If you refuse, are you afraid of offending him and losing hope of promotion?"

Cao Yi glanced at Lin Xingwei, smiled softly, and said: "If you are friendly with others, you don't have to rely on your in-laws to win over you. I will do my best to do my duty and relieve Mr. Fang's worries. He will see it in me."

Other benefits.”

Lin Huaifeng nodded appreciatively and said: "I can only say that you are a newborn calf, and your courage is commendable. If you want to achieve success in the future, you have to pay more than just relieving your worries. Marrying a woman you don't want to marry is just trivial.

It’s about throwing your head and spilling your blood.”

"Don't think that these are all matters for military officers. The same goes for civil servants. If you don't want to work too hard, you can be like my third brother. It is a great blessing to stay in the same position until you grow old. If you want to achieve some results, just

Break off your relationship with Ran Ran and cling to those who can help you climb higher."

"I... no matter what, I don't want to lose the princess." Cao Yi lowered his head, obviously not thinking about it that much.

Mrs. Hou glanced at the ugly Mrs. Ouyang, knowing that this was just what Cao Yi meant, and simply said: "Mr. Cao, why did you only bring your mother here today? Where is your father? Does your father know about this?"

Cao Yi glanced at Mrs. Ouyang hesitantly. Mrs. Ouyang's expression was stagnant, but she came back to her senses for a moment. She smiled gracefully and said: "My master is busy with official duties and can't take care of these small things at home for a while, so I will take care of everything first."

…”

Mrs. Hou sneered and said unceremoniously: "It turns out that Mr. Cao doesn't know! I am a widow, so I invited my second uncle to take care of the princess's marriage on my father's behalf. It's not like Mr. Ang has no father, so why does he have to deal with all the major events in his life?

Are you going to take care of everything outside?"

Mrs. Ouyang's face turned green and white, and she raised her eyebrows helplessly and said: "I am responsible for all the major life matters of all the sons and daughters of my family. The adults in my family trust me, and he always feels at ease when I do things."

Mrs. Hou kept her serious tone and continued: "The other sons of the Cao family are striving to make progress on their own. You don't need to worry too much. They easily take a lot of credit with just a few words in front of others. However, you know that Mr. Ang is different from his brothers. You

I have spent all my time begging for honors and nobles all over the capital, but I haven't seen you get him an official position. Mr. Zhiang is now the Bingzhou meritorious officer or the former Tongxian County magistrate, but it is all the Lin family who begged for your son.

Coming!"

Lin Xingwei's heart tightened. Her mother must not implicate Wei Mingji in a quick talk, otherwise she would not be able to explain clearly.
