I was Idle and Cool Chapter 60: A real general does not wear a sword

What does it mean to "seem" one good and one bad?

Lu Jinxi's heart became more subtle. Knowing that it might be Qingque, he couldn't judge, so he said, "You should talk about the one you think is bad first."

Qing Que looked at her and became more and more cautious.

"The bad one is the news from Zhuangzi this time."

"Isn't there someone going there to visit the old man and the old lady every once in a while? People went to the mansion this morning, and when they came back, they said..."

"Speaking outside of Zhuangzi, it seems that I saw the carriage of the Taishi's mansion, but I brushed past it for a while, and I didn't see it very clearly..."

Qing Que is actually not very troubled and understands. When she was in Hanmo Xuan, she felt that her second grandmother had something to do with Young Master Gu, but when she heard the news later, she felt like she was avoiding the wolf, so she was not sure. Very apprehensive.

At the end of the sentence, the voice was very low.

But Lu Jinxi had heard it clearly, her eyelids jumped, and a chill in her heart slowly opened: These two are the real "big heads" of the General's Mansion!

The "old man" and "old lady" that Qingque said were actually referring to Xue Kuang's grandfather and grandmother, namely General Xue and Madam Xue.

Because he was injured in expeditions in the early years, and he was old, General Xue took off his military uniform and found a village in the suburbs of Beijing to live in, and he and his wife planted the fields and raised flowers, so that they could live in the longevity.

The matter in the mansion in the capital has been ignored for many years.

But if you really want to care about it, in the general's mansion, who can speak beyond these two?

Now the carriage of the Grand Master's Mansion has gone to Zhuangzi in the suburbs of Beijing...

Lu Jinxi has been in the General's Mansion for a while, and knows the relationship between the top and bottom of the General's Mansion. He has never heard of the relationship between the Grand Master's Mansion and the General's Mansion.

What's more, it's still so far away from the suburbs of Beijing.

A coincidence?

Or intentional?

Whose horse was it going?

Why is it there?

Just thinking about it, Lu Jinxi felt a little chill behind his back for some reason.

Because of the limited information, she forcibly suppressed her skeptical thoughts, because it was pointless to think about it, and she couldn't stop it.

Only asked, "What about the good news?"

"When I went to court this morning, there was news that Emperor Chrysostom had ordered Young Master Gu to return to the court, but he was still in the Hanlin Academy and had not been assigned any errands."

Qing Que spoke a little nervously, and hesitated for a moment to ask.

"The slave thinks this is good news?"

“…”

At this moment, Lu Jinxi had the urge to hold his forehead and sigh: The bad news for Qingque is indeed bad news, but the good news is not good news at all!

Perhaps seeing Lu Jinxi's expression wrong, Qingque became more and more uneasy: "Madam, but what's wrong?"

What's wrong?

Nowhere is right!

How long did Gu Juefei return to Beijing?

The separation of father and son should take a while to enjoy family happiness. Even if they return to the Hanlin Academy, they only need to follow the rules and procedures of each department, step by step.

Where is the reason why the emperor deliberately ordered someone to return to the dynasty? And he only ordered back to the Hanlin Academy, and he didn't have any other errands.

If Gu Juefei is a mediocre and incompetent rat, it is a good thing for her. After all, I would rather be stared at by a little mouse than by an old fox!

But Gu Juefei has a family background, connections and skills, and now he has returned to the court.

Although he is still only temporarily serving in the Hanlin Academy, he can use his means, and he is afraid that he will not have a long career and a high official salary?

Why does she always feel like she's kicked hard this time?

All of a sudden, her head turned a little bigger. Lu Jinxi had no expression on her face. She only pressed her eyebrows and shook her head: "There's nothing wrong. I know everything. Is there anything going on outside?"

The implication of this is, of course, that I will go down if I have nothing to do.

But Qing Que really has one thing: "There is no big thing outside, only the third grandma sent someone to ask, saying that the day after tomorrow will be the second day of the second month, and the dragon raised his head. Some time ago, she asked you if you would like to go out for an outing. You haven't given a word yet."

This thing?

Lu Jinxi didn't lift her eyelids, she just said: "If you refuse, just say that I can't be busy for a while. The spring scenery just got up, and I'm not in a hurry to go out for a while. I won't be busy until another day. If you ask the third grandmother to go out for an outing, it should be an apology."

Going for an outing in Xiaozhongshan the day after tomorrow?

The Sanxian Temple is at the foot of Xiaozhong Mountain, by the Baiyue Lake. Gu Juefei will start a trial admission there that day, and he knows that it will be crowded by then.

Even if it wasn't to hide from Gu Juefei, she couldn't run to look at the head.

What's more, if you really meet Gu Juefei there, God knows what will happen. If she couldn't hold back and nibbled at the old grass, she might not be able to "restrain her horse".

Sanxian Temple?

Hehe, whoever goes is stupid!

Lu Jinxi also has a clear understanding of his "nature". He has already made up his mind, and now let Qingque refuse, his tone is very calm.

Qing Que listened to it, and then went away at a loss.

Obviously, Lu Jinxi's evasive attitude still confuses her. After all, who would have thought that Lu Jinxi only fell in love with Gu Juefei and turned around and regretted it again?

With a creak, the door closed again.

Lu Jinxi slowly leaned back on the back of the chair and relaxed her body, but the two messages that Qingcai had given him were still lingering in her mind.

For a time, it was like a demon, and Gu Juefei was full of thoughts.

She just sat like this for half the afternoon.

In the yard outside, Xue Chi ran in with a smile on his face or sweat on his forehead, and when he saw the Qingque Egret busy outside, he shouted, "Sister Qingque, Sister Egret, I Is the mother inside?"

"In the study."

The egret was holding a few freshly picked flowers in his hand, and when he heard it, he turned back to him, but when he saw his sweaty appearance, he couldn't help but be a little surprised.

"Brother, who are you?"

"It's nothing, I just went out to play after school for a while."

Xue Chi waved his hand, but didn't say what he was playing. Anyway, looking very happy, he ran straight to the study.

"I went to my mother to tell a story!"

In the past few days, he has been enchanted by the story.

I just feel that the stories my mother tells are ten times better than the storytellers outside. Not only did the little friends in the school stunned when they heard it, but even Uncle Liu and Uncle Fang were stunned.

I wonder what story my mother will tell today?

Xue Chi was looking forward to it, and when he arrived at the door of the study, he shouted loudly: "Mother, I'm back!"

Lu Jinxi heard his festive voice from a long distance away, and had long since recovered, but he couldn't help sighing: Yes, I'm back to listen to the story.

She just put the dossier on the desk with a roll of rice paper and put it back on the shelf behind her.

Xue Chi had come in at this time.

Lu Jinxi turned her head to look, and couldn't help but feel a little strange: "Xuezhai and our courtyard are only a short distance away. It's still early spring weather. Why are you running so sweaty?"

"Hey..."

Xue Chi leaned over and hugged his mother's arm directly, her eyes shining brightly.

"I went out to play with Erfang, and met Uncle Liu on the way. There were many of them, riding on horses, but they were majestic! I didn't even say hello, Uncle Liu recognized me and took me with Erfang. Fang is riding a horse together!"

“…Uncle Liu?”

Lu Jinxi was startled and almost didn't react.

"You mean the nine-door admiral Liu Jin, Master Liu?"

"Anyway, it's Uncle Liu, I don't remember much of the others, maybe."

Xue Chi is actually a little confused.

He only knew that those were his father's friends. He'd met him a few times, and they would send gifts every time he was born. So I didn't care, I was more excited.

"Mother, there is an uncle Fang I haven't seen before. His sword is also very beautiful, but it sinks and I can't lift it up. He still laughs at me! I said I have a Honglu sword. , he still doesn't believe it, he's mad at me!"

Uncle Fang...

The corners of Lu Jinxi's mouth twitched, only to feel her eyelids twitching.

Xue Chi hadn't noticed his mother's strangeness, so he put his hands on his hips and said angrily: "This person is really annoying. Mother, please let me take Hong Lujian with me tomorrow, I He must be speechless!"

“…”

Let him take it with you?

But now she just wants to find a place to shut this kid up for a good meal, and use a rag to gag his big, troublesome mouth!

Sorry!

"Mother?"

Seeing that she didn't speak for a long time, Xue Chi became a little strange and shook her hand again.

Lu Jinxi didn't have the strength to roll her eyes anymore. She sighed in her heart that her life was really hard, and broke the jar and said: "It's not just a broken sword, you can do whatever you like. The scabbard is already ready, you turn around and let it go. The servants will help you to take it, it will sink in the end, don't tire yourself."

"I knew, my mother is the best!"

As soon as Xue Chi heard this, he immediately cheered, his voice sweet like a candy cane.

"Uncle Liu also said that he can teach me martial arts and swordsmanship when he is free in the future. Then, in the future, wouldn't I be able to carry a sword, go to the battlefield, kill a lot of people, and make a fortune, just like my father? To be a general? Then you can become a great hero admired by thousands of people!"

Lu Jinxi frowned.

Xue Chi was still excited: "In this case, my mother can tell my story in the future... By the way, mother, what story are you telling today?"

Lu Jinxi lowered her eyes, only to see Xue Chi's big blinking eyes, Baba waiting for her to tell a story.

But...

She frowned slightly, but did not loosen it, only asked: "What did you just say?"

"Just now?"

Xue Chi didn't quite understand.

"Said my mother to tell my story, and asked my mother what story she told today."

Lu Jinxi shook her head: "Not this sentence, the previous sentence."

Not this sentence?

Xue Chi thought about it, but with a good memory, he clapped his hands and said, "That is to bring a sword to the battlefield to kill the enemy, to be a general and a hero!"

That's it.

Lu Jinxi suddenly realized that it was probably a child who had a simple idea, but Xue Chi's thinking seemed to be a little crooked. Although it is a child's unintentional remark, it is always correct to mention something cautiously.

She asked him, "Brother Chi, why do you think your father is a general and a hero?"

"Because he went to the battlefield to kill the enemy, his martial arts was strong, he made great achievements, and repelled the enemy who came from the Huns."

That's what people out there say.

Lu Jinxi asked again: "Then you want to make achievements like your father, and you also want to fight on the battlefield. You hope that there will be a war to make you famous, and will there be enemies for you to kill?"

"Yeah, otherwise how would everyone know that I am so good, and how can I make achievements?"

Xue Chi didn't understand very well. Why should my mother ask herself such a simple question?

"Mother, am I wrong?"

"It's right to say yes; it's also wrong to say no."

Lu Jinxi thought for a while, but in the end he still smiled, softening the overly serious expression on his face, and only pulled Xue Chi and sat down beside him.

Xue Chi didn't understand anymore: "That's right, isn't it?"

He is only five years old now, and he already knows a lot of words, but he still doesn't understand the truth. He has just started school, and his husband hasn't taught much yet.

Besides, he was born in a gatekeeper, and he is familiar with his ears and eyes. It is normal to have this idea.

When you know more and see more in the future, your thoughts and thoughts will naturally change accordingly.

Lu Jinxi actually didn't have to worry about it, just let it flow. But now that I have met, I happened to talk to Xue Chi about this again, so I might as well say a few more words.

"That's right, because what you said seems to be right on the surface."

"On the surface?"

Xue Chi suddenly became interested.

Lu Jinxi didn't give a shit, smiled and said, "On the surface, when foreign enemies invade, only enemies can be killed, battles can be fought, and there are opportunities to make achievements. He was named a great general by the court, so people call him a great hero. "

Yes.

Isn't that how it should be?

Xue Chi asked again: "You only said it on the surface, but what about the reality?"

This kid is smart too.

will answer the call.

Lu Jinxi sat beside him, patted his head, her voice was gentle and long.

"Actually, we need to know the root cause of a person being called a 'big hero'."

"Your father did fight in all directions and was named a general by the imperial court, but he was respected as a 'big hero' by everyone, not only because of the war, but because he guarded the safety of the country. Territory, free from being trampled by the iron cavalry of the Huns.”

"People, you are free from the suffering of wars and chaos, you don't need to be displaced, so you can live and work in peace and contentment."

The scene on Changshun Street that day was really iron-clad. When Lu Jinxi said it, he couldn't help but recall it.

"The real generals and heroes are sealed by the people."

"So, if you don't wear a sword, can fight, and kill people, you can become your father. You must be recognized by the people. Besides, mother doesn't want you to be him?"

Xue Chi was surprised: "Why?"

"Because real generals and heroes don't like wars. Like real doctors, they don't like people in the world getting sick. The people don't like wars. When a fight starts, the war rages on and life is ruined. People's livelihoods on the border are ruined , many people are going to be displaced, and many soldiers are going to abandon their hometowns and lose their young lives.”

Lu Jinxi stared at him.

"My mother doesn't want you to be one of them, let alone another war in the future."

The border has been negotiated.

Whether it's for Daxia or the Huns, it's a good thing.

No common people like to fight, and they can't control the things that the sky is high and the emperor is far away. Those who really like war are the rulers who are aloof...

For a lofty ambition, for an insatiable craving.

Her voice was a little ethereal, and even her eyes gave off an illusory feeling.

Xue Chi just looked at her like this, thinking about her words, she vaguely understood, but she was very contradictory: "But mother doesn't want the child to go to war, how can the child become a general and a hero in the future?"

“…”

Lu Jinxi almost lost her words.

After co-authoring and talking for a long time, this kid is still thinking about going to the battlefield to kill the enemy and become a hero!

No wonder it is said that a man has a heroic dream.

Xue Chi was not spared at such a young age.

She couldn't help shaking her head and sighing, pressing Xue Chi's head in anger: "Who said that you must fight in order to be a general and a hero?"

Xue Chi was dumbfounded: "No, what else can I do?"

"The reason why the general is called a hero is because he saved more people of the Lebanese people. So as long as you can save the people of the Lebanese people, as long as you can be admired and praised by the people, aren't you also a general and a hero? "

Speaking of this, Lu Jinxi laughed, with a bit of an aria in her voice.

"It should be noted that in this world, true generals do not wear swords."

A true general, no sword.

Hearing this, Xue Chi was a little stunned for a while.

This is too novel to hear. You are a general, so how can you not wear a sword?

Combined with the other words Lu Jinxi had said before, he felt that there was some fog in his mind, and he cleared it.

He nibbled at his fingers habitually, frowning in thought.

Actually, this is a sentence in Wang Guozhen's poem. When Lu Jinxi first read it, he was deeply impressed. At this moment, it is also very suitable.

Seeing that Xue Chi was thinking silently, she didn't bother.

After a short while, Xue Chi's dark eyes gradually brightened, and he clapped his hands: "I know, mother, I know!"

"Oh?"

Lu Jinxi had a warm smile like a spring breeze on his face, as if he was going to test him.

"What do you know?"

"I hope everyone in the world is safe, why worry about the dust on the shelf!"

Xue Chi blurted out, it was actually a couplet, and the two long eyebrows that were rumored to be similar to Xue Kuang were raised, with a somewhat flying look.

"This is what the child saw in Huishengtang, is it similar to what my mother said?"

I hope everyone in the world is safe, why worry about the dust on the shelf...

Back to life.

That old, calm-faced ghost hand Zhang is worthy of the name of a genius doctor.

Xue Chi looked at her eagerly, looking forward to Lu Jinxi's answer.

Lu Jinxi finally couldn't hold it back, the smile on his lips widened and turned into a sincere smile. He couldn't help but slightly bent his fingers and scratched the bridge of his nose.

"Almost, almost, our brother Chi is so smart! By analogy, we can infer other things!"

She's boasting too much!

Xue Chi was originally very proud, but she almost jumped up and down with joy, but her praise made him unable to hang his thick skin, and his ears were red.

"Mother, you really..."

"What is it?"

Lu Jinxi couldn't help but want to tease him.

Xue Chi was annoyed, and shouted to change the subject: "Don't talk, don't talk, mother, you are telling the story to the child, I want to listen to the story!"

I know I'm ashamed.

Why didn't you feel it when you were squeamish before?

Lu Jinxi thought it was funny in her heart, but she indulged him on her face, she just said, "Okay, okay, tell a story."

"What's the talk today?"

Xue Chi suddenly looked forward to it.

Lu Jinxi was startled suddenly.

She sorted out the battle report and prepared a few suitable stories. But I don't know why, but at this moment, my eyes are a bit uncontrollable, and it falls on the files that are lined up on the bookshelf and placed neatly.

These were sent by Princess Yongning.

They were transcribed long ago and put in boxes, but Xue Kuang's last battle at Hanshan Pass was not the only one.

If it wasn't for the final battle, then under what circumstances would one organize all the things one had done before?

Lu Jinxi couldn't help but think about it.

Either the file is lost or needs to be rebuilt and migrated, or the person who was originally in charge of this work is leaving and needs to hand over the work, or...

As soon as the thought came to this, Lu Jinxi was slightly startled.

The thought that came to the extreme by chance when I saw "Seven Captures of Meng Huo" was a villain's idea, and it was impossible to catch the wind. She was a little suspicious of the court's intentions.

"Mother, don't you tell me?"

Seeing that she was a little distracted, Xue Chi asked.

"Of course I'm going to talk about it."

When Lu Jinxi heard this, she just restrained the thoughts in her mind. As soon as she turned around, she was about to tell Xue Chi a story.

But at the moment she opened her mouth, for some unknown reason, she made a mysterious change and replaced the originally prepared story of "Xue Kuang crosses five barriers and kills six generals" with "Changbanpo Liu Jin rides alone to rescue the general" ".

Xue Chi couldn't help but wonder: "Mother, don't talk about dad today?"

Actually, Lu Jinxi didn't understand what he was thinking.

But she had already said it all, and there was indeed a story of "Liu Jin rides alone to protect Xue Kuang", so she didn't correct it.

Only said: "Your father is powerful, but fighting is not a matter of one person. Your father's men are all good soldiers, and Uncle Liu is not bad."

Xue Chi pouted, a little unhappy.

But thinking about how Liu Jin took him on a horse and walked on the street yesterday, he was so majestic and a little itchy, he said, "Mother, tell me, I'll listen."

After listening, you can turn back and play with Uncle Liu.

Lu Jinxi didn't know what he was thinking, so he just told him the story slowly. Although it is not the story of Xue Kuang, how can Zhao Zilong be so brave and brave that ordinary children can resist?

After hearing this, Xue Chi showed a fascinated expression just like the previous days, and sighed: "I didn't expect Uncle Liu to be so powerful!"

Lu Jinxi felt guilty for a while.

But if you think about Xue Kuang, what's the point of blowing Liu Jin again? Anyway, there are still so many great people in the Three Kingdoms, and there are so many generals under Xue Kuang, and what she said is true, she just interpreted it.

So...

Blow and blow, what are you afraid of?

She gave herself a reassurance, her face was calm, and she returned to Xue Chi seriously and said, "Yes, your Uncle Liu is so powerful."

"Then my father was injured at that time-"

Xue Chi opened his mouth and asked, but he was interrupted by a knock on the door outside.

Qing Que mixed with a strange and frightening voice, and sounded outside: "Qi, Mrs. Qi, there is a letter from the old man from Zhuangzi in the suburbs of Beijing. Yes, it's for you."

Lu Jinxi just said something and was drinking tea to moisten her throat.

Hearing this sentence, I almost spit out the tea in my mouth: "A letter from the old, old man?"

This Xue family member in the suburbs of Beijing hasn't been in charge for a long time!

It's just that people are too lazy to come back during the Chinese New Year.

A letter is coming now?

Lu Jinxi immediately thought of the "bad news" that Qing Que said before, the carriage of the Grand Master's Mansion. This is too coincidental, isn't it?

Suppressing her anxiety, she asked Qingque to come in, only to open the letter and read it, and immediately scolded Gu Juefei, this bastard, in her heart!

This is the bottom line, play with her directly from above!

"Too much bullying! Shameless!"

Lu Jinxi has always been gentle and modest. Who has ever seen her gnashing her teeth like this?

Qing Que was already in a cold sweat when she saw it.

Xue Chi was not afraid of death, and shouted, "Is it the great-grandfather who sent the letter? I'll take a look", so he hurriedly came over to take a look.

This is incredible, and then I screamed and wailed: "Ah? What does this mean? I don't--I don't want to go to apprenticeship!"
