Chapter 16 The transgressive cousin

Lin Xingwei held the hand stove in his arms, squatted opposite Su Ge, and frowned slightly: "My cousin is so unreasonable today. Whose banquet did not invite a few singers and dancers? My cousin has never been to the banquet?"

"I, of course I have seen singing and dancing, but those are dancers and performers raised by my family, how can they compare with those from outside?" Su Ge said.

Lin Xingwei understood in his heart that Su Ge was not bad, but he was pedantic in his studies and was unsophisticated.

Lin Xingwei said: "It seems that you have never been to Jingshui Tower. They don't sing those obscene lyrics and tunes there, but they sing serious poems. My second cousin wrote a long landscape poem and sent it to Jingshui Tower to compose the music.

It didn't take long before he sang on stage, and my second cousin made a lot of money."

Su Ge sighed and looked at the crowded banquet hall. After all, he was too ignorant. He thought that he might as well apologize to Taigong Lin and his aunt later.

Lin Xingwei put his hand stove on Su Ge's food table, "You can freeze it here, I'll leave first."

"Wait a minute," Su Ge picked up the stove and stood up, pulling Lin Xingwei to a quiet place and asked, "Father asked me to ask you, what do you think about your marriage to Wei Mingji?"

Lin Xing pursed his lips slightly, "Uncle should ask Wei Mingji directly. There is no point in asking me."

Su Ge said: "Yesterday in the palace, my father met Wei Mingji and asked him when he planned to get engaged to you. Before he could say a few words, he was interrupted by the Holy One. I don't know what they mean now?"

Lin Xing smiled and said, "My mother and I are not in a hurry. Why is my uncle anxious? Whether it is an engagement or an annulment, there will always be an explanation. We will just wait."

"Wait? When will we wait?" Su Ge put the stove back into Lin Xingwei's hand and said: "If you are willing to marry, my father will go to the Lu Mansion to discuss the engagement with General Lu. If you are not willing, he will urge Wei Mingji to come.

If you break off the engagement, you won’t miss the chance to get married.”

Lin Xingwei's eyebrows lit up. How could she not accept his affection when her uncle was so considerate of her? She thought for a moment, "Then let my uncle go to General Lu and ask. It would be best if we can cancel the marriage."

Su Ge frowned and said: "You have to think clearly. Your reputation is not very good outside. If you miss Wei Mingji, it will not be easy to find someone as good as General Wei."

Lin Xingwei's delicate eyebrows shrank again and asked: "Do I have a bad reputation outside?"

Su Ge did not deny it.

If a person wants to have a good reputation, he has to work hard for a lifetime. If he wants to ruin his reputation, it can be done in an instant.

Lin Xingwei murmured in a low voice: "Princess Youning just didn't fall in love with her and she didn't do anything treacherous. Why is her reputation so bad?"

After Lin Xingwei finished speaking, he quickly walked around Su Ge and walked back quickly, leaving Su Ge alone to stare.

The uncle and the queen have the same purpose.

Su Ge looked at his cousin's back and shook his head, sighing secretly in his heart that asking Wei Mingji to marry his cousin was really giving him an advantage.

Lin Xingwei returned to the women's banquet hall. Only a few girls were still sitting in the seats, and the rest ran to see Guan Xingyun.

She sat down next to her third uncle, thinking that after the banquet was over, she would ask her second uncle to express her gratitude to Mr. Wen.

Although she also liked the excitement, the door was so crowded that she just thought about it.

After a while, the girls returned to their seats in small groups, presumably because the performance in the front hall was over.

The girls' cheeks were flushed, and they were whispering about Wen Suiwan instead of Guan Xingyun.

One said that Mr. Wen was so talented and became a minister at a young age; the other said that Mr. Wen had extraordinary appearance and a heavenly appearance...

Indeed, Wen Suiwan, like Wei Mingji, just walked to that station without saying a word, and it was a charming scenery.

But regardless of whether it is a man or a woman, beautiful things should only be appreciated as scenery, and should not be held and played with like flowers.

Therefore, Lin Xingwei decided not to get married until she found someone she could heart-to-heart with, as long as she was not too ugly to look at.

These little girls' families were either rich or noble, so their eyes naturally fell on Wen Suiwan, who was an official, but they had no interest in Guan Xingyun after admiring him.

A girl opposite Lin Xingwei, who was still with Cao Ruicen, asked: "I don't know if Mr. Wen has decided to get married. If not, I will definitely ask my father to propose marriage."

Cao Ruicen said: "Then you have to hurry up. A talented person like Mr. Wen will be targeted by many people."

Lin Xingwei was confused, had Wen Suiwan never participated in a banquet? How come these girls seemed to be meeting Wen Suiwan for the first time?

Cao Ruicen smiled and explained: "I heard from my father that in the next year, there will be several new ministers appointed to the Yushitai Council, and Mr. Wen is the new one."

"Third aunt? Do we have any relatives of the Wen family?" Lin Xing asked Pei in a low voice.

Pei Shiken shook his head firmly, "No."

"Then Young Master Wen came uninvited, but does he have any friendship with our family?" Lin Xingwei asked again.

Mrs. Pei raised his wine glass and took a sip of wine, and said, "I have no close friendship with his family. He and your two cousins ​​are both students of Yanshan Academy, so we can be considered classmates."

At most they were schoolmates, not in the same class or the same teacher. The two brothers had never mentioned this talented and talented Mr. Wen, and they might not have known each other yet.

"Third aunt, do you think Mr. Wen looks like my two uncles?" Lin Xingwei asked again.

The third uncle suddenly laughed, put down the wine glass in his hand, and said: "I have been sitting here and haven't seen him yet. I will ask your third uncle after we leave... You are so interested in him, why?

But do you like him?"

Lin Xing shook his head slightly, not because he liked him, but at most because he admired him. He had a friendly smile and always felt that he was a kind and easy-to-talk person.

As for whether it is really easy to talk to, you have to have serious dealings with him to know.

Lin Xingwei has always been a pragmatic person. Whether she is looking for a boyfriend or making ordinary friends, the first thing she looks at is whether the person's three views are consistent with her own, not whether he is handsome or good-looking.

"The second uncle said that Wen Suiwan's uncle Jizhou Mu Wen Sui had a close relationship with my father. Does the third aunt know about Wen Sui?" There were some family secrets that it was inconvenient for her to ask her mother. The third aunt was the easiest to talk to. If she knew, she would not

hide.

The third aunt frowned and thought for a while, then said: "Wen Sui... I have some impressions, but he and his eldest uncle must have not been in contact for twenty years. They used to have a good relationship, but I don't know what happened to them. Anyway,

We no longer have any contact with each other. I was not married at that time, and I heard in my boudoir that my eldest uncle had a close friend named Wen Sui."

"Oh..." It seems that the third aunt doesn't know much about it. If you have time, ask He's wife, maybe she knows.

The third aunt touched Lin Xing's shiny black hair and said softly: "Wei Mingji has not said anything to you yet, and no one comes to our house. If we break off the engagement, this Young Master Wen is an excellent choice."

Lin Xingwei waved her hands repeatedly. After all, she still felt a little inferior. Although she was very talented, she was not proficient in the Four Books and Five Classics. She only knew how to play music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and could only write good calligraphy.

She cannot control whether she wants to get married to a talented person here, Wei Mingji or someone else. If she looks like a fool in front of her husband in the future, her self-esteem will be severely damaged.

It would be better for her future husband to be neither that smart nor that stupid, listen to her, and come from an ordinary family background.
