Chapter 67(1/2)

I am unruly and unruly, not worthy of a general

Author: Liu Xi Haoyue

When we returned to the Hou Mansion, it was already ten o'clock in the day. The afterglow of the sun spread across the earth, and the last scorching heat made Lin Xing squint his eyes slightly.

She pedaled off the carriage. The two cousins ​​were going back to the academy the next day. After saying hello, they went back to their respective homes to find their parents.

Mrs. Hou was also tired of talking today. After saying a few words to Lin Xingwei, she went back to the house to rest.

Luofu directed several servants to unload some gifts from the cart, and Mrs. Ouyang sent a lot of silk and satin. There were not many men in the Lin family, and there were also few women. It was fair and just to share these silk materials equally among the three houses.

Lin Xing sighed slightly. She was satisfied that she had found a good son-in-law for the Lin family. She stretched out and prepared to lie down for a while.

Yunzhu greeted him with small steps, took 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 me, saying that I wanted to meet him, but he didn't force it, he would be in Fuxing

The teahouse will wait for the princess for half an hour, and if the princess does not come, he will leave."

Lin Xingwei frowned and said in disgust: "I have nothing to do with him, so what did I see him do? You returned the thing to him, but he didn't see it!"

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

Yunzhu looked confused 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 a few moments, revealing a shiny bracelet inside. It was the filigree-inlaid turquoise bracelet that Wei Mingji wanted to leave at the foot of Luting Mountain in order to threaten Lin Xingwei.

"He's back?" Lin Xing slightly ignorantly picked up the bracelet and looked at it carefully, once again confirming that it was hers and not a fake.

Yunzhu said: "I don't know how the princess's things fell into the hands of General Wei. I will keep this matter secret for the princess. The word has been passed on, so I will leave first!"

After Yunzhu said that, he was about to leave.

"Wait a minute!" Lin Xingwei grabbed Yunzhu, hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Let Luofu change into a carriage. It's an inconspicuous one. You take your hat and wait for me to change into clothes, and we can go together."

It is not the behavior of a gentleman to meet another man just after getting engaged. Since Wei Mingji returned the filigree bracelet that threatened her, it means that he will not threaten her again.

In this case, why didn't she take this opportunity to ask him whether the death of her father Lin Huaishan was related to Prince Yingchuan. If it was true, although the Lin family was unable to compete with Prince Yingchuan's palace, the two of them would have something in mind.

Lin Xingwei asked Mrs. He to change into an old-fashioned lotus root silk brown dress, and together with Yunzhu, who was wearing a curtain hat, he shrunk out of the carriage and went to the Gospel Tea House. The owner of the tea house stole the man's clothes and thought he was from a poor family.

Women who come to the house are not allowed in.

Lin Xingwei looked around through the curtain, but did not see Wei Mingji, but he could not introduce himself to the boss. While hesitating, a man in black uniform with a sword at his waist came over and said to Lin Xingwei, cupping his hands.

: "My young master has been waiting for the girl for a long time. Please come with me."

Someone led the way, and the teahouse owner stopped blocking them. Lin Xingwei and Yunzhu followed the man to a private room on the third floor. Yunzhu was blocked from outside, and Lin Xingwei entered alone.

The window of the box was open, and a ray of golden sunset shone brightly 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 dress with curling waves and dark patterns.

He took off his mask, sat down in front of the tea table, and used a tong to gently stir the charcoal fire in the small stove. When the fire started, he placed the copper pot filled with water on the stove.

It is graceful, solemn, and as beautiful as a dream. Apart from anything else, this is really a beautiful picture. Lin Xingwei couldn't help it, and stared at it for a long time.

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

"Ahem!" Lin Xingwei coughed twice.

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

She was slightly lost in thought behind the curtain. There were so many beautiful things in this world, such as colorful flowers in spring, fluttering willows in summer, red, yellow and green leaves in autumn, and endless snowflakes in winter.

Snow……

No matter how beautiful the scenery is, it's nice to look at it. If you pick the flowers, break the willows, fall the leaves, or step on the snow, it will destroy the beauty.

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

Lin Xingwei took off his curtain hat, smiled politely, and bowed slightly, "General Wei, why are you looking for me?"

Wei Mingji opened the lid of the copper pot, picked up the tea can, shook some tea leaves into it, and said leisurely: "If I don't return the bracelet to you, you will probably never want to see me again in this life."

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

"Sit down." Wei Mingji pointed at the soft cushion opposite him.

Lin Xingwei sat on the soft cushion obediently, very close to Wei Mingji, with only a narrow tea table between them.

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

As Wei Mingji spoke, he leaned back and leaned on the bench, with one leg crossed and the other knee raised, facing a woman who had nothing to do with him, really casually.

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

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

Lin Xingwei's expression froze, Wei Mingji was the one she couldn't afford to offend. No matter how she behaved, she was afraid that she could not say such words openly because of her hatred. She pondered for a moment and said seriously: "The general and I have nothing to do with each other.

, not to mention fear, let alone hatred, but only awe of the general."

"It's irrelevant?" Wei Mingji's expression became more and more serious, "Since it's irrelevant, you came as soon as I invited you. How do you explain this?"

Lin Xingwei: "..."

The water in the copper pot boiled, causing the lid to flutter wildly. Wei Mingji slowly lifted the copper pot, placed two sapphire tea buckets on the tea tray, poured two buckets of tea, and poured it into the copper pot.

Fill it with cold water and put it back on the small stove.

He pushed a sapphire tea cup in front of Lin Xingwei and said slowly, "I think you and I are somewhat related."

Wei Mingji took a sip of the hot tea soup and continued: "I know you came here to ask about the secret order Pei. I might as well tell you that this matter is a contest between me and the King of Yingchuan. Is he involved in the Yingchuan Rebellion?

I’m still investigating his handiwork, so I can’t say he’s 100% guilty, at least he can’t be uninvolved.”

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

Wei Mingji lowered his eyes, staring at the tea in his hand, and said: "The death of Nanyang Marquis has been too long ago. Whether he was harmed by others is just a guess based on the murder of Prince Chu. After all, the secret order Pei is

In the hands of Marquis Nanyang."

"Prince Yingchuan is not the only one who is looking for the Secret Order Pei. King Yingchuan also explicitly asked me to help him find the Secret Order Pei. I am handing the Secret Order Pei to him through his daughter's hand just to see how he reacts."

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

Wei Mingji's eyes darkened, and Lin Xingwei knew that she had asked something he shouldn't have asked. He straightened the tea cup, took out his handkerchief and cleaned the desk, not daring to speak anymore.

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

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

Wei Mingji refilled Lin Xingwei's tea cup with hot tea, his expression softened a little, "Try the tea I made, it's no worse than Cao Yi's."

Lin Xingwei was speechless again, this was even better than...

Wei Mingji continued: "Mrs. Nanyang Hou is such a good mother. She is willing to do anything for you. If she hadn't brought Taifu Su into the palace to ask for the queen, I'm afraid you and Cao Yi still wouldn't be able to get married, let alone

It is said that Cao Yi's official position was reduced so quickly."

Lin Xing smiled politely and said softly: "Mothers are like this. They are willing to give everything for their children."

Wei Mingji lowered his eyes and smiled, "Yes, my mother was the same. In order to save my life and my brother's, she gave us all away."

Lin Xing was slightly stunned and asked suspiciously: "Didn't you say that the general's brother stayed at home in Beihai County?..." You are the only one who was given away.

Wei Mingji snorted coldly, "My brother is no better than me, so I won't talk about this anymore."

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 his post in the future, you will be able to help him."

Lin Xingwei is a person without wishes. She will go wherever life pushes her. She will resist only when she feels that she has reached a dead end, just like she insists on breaking off her engagement with Wei Mingji. But there are also things that she cannot resist, such as when she gets

Died from gastric cancer.

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

Her fate has always been like this, there are always many twists and turns that she cannot avoid.

Cao Yi proposed marriage to her, which was something she had never thought about. She just felt that Cao Yi was kind to her, so she agreed.

As for those life-or-death love affairs, she never thought about it. She never thought about whether Cao Yi loved her to the point of death. She also never thought about whether she loved Cao Yi to the point where she wouldn't marry him.

It's enough to be safe.

She also knew about her relationship with Cao Yi. She had already calculated that this relationship would also end in vain.

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 rest, just take it one step at a time.

When she came to this place, it could be said that she was "unfamiliar with the place". She didn't know what she could do, so she spent her time reading and writing. The same was true for practicing piano and riding and shooting. If someone taught her, she would learn. As for the future

Whether he can stay close to him or help others is another matter.

Lin Xing smiled politely and said: "I can help Zhi'ang copy documents, and I can also play the piano to him when he is tired. When I have free time, I can go hunting in the mountains with Zhi'ang."

After saying that, she awkwardly picked up the tea cup, took a sip, and said with a smile: "The general's tea skills are very good, not bad."

"Congratulations!" He held up a cup of tea to greet her, "You got what you wanted and you married the person you 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 cold light, put down the tea cup he was holding, and said coldly: "I'm afraid she's not tricking 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 is tricking 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 clutched the tea cup tightly and said in a deep voice: "It can't be the third princess. I have already proposed to one person in my life, so I will not propose to others again. Even though you and I have let go, I will not marry anyone else in this life."

I won’t marry anyone else.”
