I was Idle and Cool Chapter 10: Gu Taishi’s birthday banquet

"I..."

Luo Dingfang was stunned.

Actually, he was an introvert since he was a child.

My parents taught me a lot, and my husband said a lot: pay attention to the occasion when you speak, respect and salute when you meet your elders, and don’t contradict your disobedience. >

The uncles and brothers of the Duke's Mansion all grew up listening to these truths, and they all said these words in their mouths.

So it is difficult for Luo Dingfang to get close to them.

On the contrary, he met Xue Kuang after the Time School opened.

This little brat from the General's Mansion is different from others.

On the first day of school, he quarreled with his husband.

Because my husband said that "everything is inferior, only reading is high", but he felt that leading troops to fight, defending the family, defending the country, throwing his head, and pouring blood were all "high", such as his father, Xue Kuang.

Xue Chi is two years younger than him, and he is so articulate that he scolded his husband for being speechless on the spot.

On that day, the children of the Guogong Mansion looked at him with an almost adoring look.

For all of them, it was unthinkable.

Although that afternoon, the General's Mansion knew about it and picked up Xue Chi. I heard that a scolding was inevitable.

But this does not prevent Luo Dingfang from paying attention to and favoring this "heterogeneous".

Xue Chi's temperament is really special among a group of people who are close to the same.

Young young, good homework, smart, playful, bad-tempered, and very strong. If anyone upset him, it would be a disaster.

It's a fight, and with his brute strength, not everyone can fight.

As thin and weak as Luo Dingfang, he never thought of going against Xue Chi.

He became friends with Xue Chi, which was an opportunity given by Mr. Xue Zhai: because Xue Chi was so tossed, the gentlemen couldn't afford to offend him, so he simply moved his position back, out of sight and out of mind, This time, it is with Luo Dingfang.

Sit close, and naturally have the opportunity to speak.

One is introverted, one is extroverted; one is approached with intention, and the other is unintentional rejection.

Soon, they became friends.

Xue Chi is Luo Dingfang's first and only friend.

He didn't want to lose such a friend, let alone Xue Chi being implicated and punished because of him.

Now that I heard Lu Jinxi's words, I didn't mean to blame at all.

There is a kind of generosity between the words, but also so reasonable.

He didn't know why, his eyes became red as soon as his eyes were wet, and the tears were swirling inside, and he almost cried.

When Ye Shi saw this, he was almost laughed at by this kid.

There is no parent who doesn't feel sorry for their children.

Ye's heart is fleshy, but he doesn't want to forcefully press the child's head and ask him to apologize. Just right and wrong, should give an explanation.

But she didn't expect that Lu Jinxi would become so transparent after not seeing her for a while.

The light-hearted sentence "Adults do not interfere in matters between children" immediately pulled the two families out of the embarrassing situation.

Children's thoughts have been considered, and adults have their own face.

It's not too much to call it "Seven Orifices Exquisite Heart".

Now Lu Jinxi has repaired the steps, and the two of them just walked down the steps, but this kid is still crying in front of everyone, and it's not too embarrassing!

Ye tugged at him helplessly: "I love the cry bag, but you can take away your tears, don't scare you Aunt Lu. When people ask you something, why are you dumb?"

"No, I'm fine..."

Luo Dingfang raised his sleeves vigorously and wiped his face indiscriminately, leaving a few red marks on his face, as if he was holding back and would never cry.

He raised his head, looked at Lu Jinxi, and even bowed to her.

"Thank you, Aunt Lu for your understanding."

"It's not that Dingfang is unwilling to tell this, it's that Dingfang has an agreement with Brother Chi. Mr. taught that a gentleman and a gentleman should not lose their trust in others. Faithfulness is precious."

"Although Dingfang knows that his aunt is for our good, Dingfang can't lose his trust in brother Chi just because he likes you."

"But I will listen to Aunt Lu and apologize to Brother Chi when I go to school."

"Aunt Lu, this matter is a big deal. Please, please don't punish him."

The voice stumbled and trembled.

Kou's articulation is actually clear and organized. Between the words, there is already a man's responsibility, and the elegant gentleman's demeanor can also be seen.

Luo Dingfang stared at Lu Jinxi with moist black eyes.

In those timid eyes, there is a bit of gratitude, a bit of guilt, a bit of determination, and a sudden overflow of bravery.

Lu Jinxi listened, sat on the kang, and almost didn't react for a while.

She remembered that the second son of Luo, who was in the government's government, was raised by the British public four books and five classics, and wanted him to take the imperial examination and become an official in the future.

Nowadays, the child is really well-bred.

Just...

What's the effort, still worried about Xue Chi?

That kid just took the medicine jar and smashed the danger, just like what!

With a sigh, Lu Jinxi put his hands on his knees and laughed: "Second son, put your heart back in your stomach. Brother Chi is a little overlord, how can I dare to touch him? Keeping that kid alive and kicking is better than you!"

"Really, really?"

"Really."

It really couldn't be more true.

Lu Jinxi gave him a very definite answer.

Luo Dingfang still couldn't believe it.

Sitting across from Lu Jinxi, Mrs. Ye knew what he was thinking as soon as he saw him, so he couldn't help but instruct him: "Can you still lie to you, Aunt Lu? Just put your heart back in your stomach."

As he spoke, he beckoned him to come over and sat on the edge of the kang.

Luo Dingfang's face was still covered with unwiped tears, and he was so thin that he looked like a little cat.

He glanced at Lu Jinxi quietly.

Lu Jinxi winked at him.

So he got embarrassed and buried his head with a blushing face.

The atmosphere in the room was extremely good for a while.

The big and small maids who served all secretly wiped a cold sweat.

The egret, who witnessed the whole process, couldn't believe his eyes.

Before she came, she thought that today was bound to be a tough battle. If she didn't handle it well, she didn't know what it would be like to be abused by the third grandmother, Wei Xian.

But who would have thought, how long would it take?

In a few words, the dark clouds have cleared, the sun has come out, and there is nothing left!

For a while, the egret looked at Lu Jinxi, only to feel that she was sitting under the south window, her whole body was gilded and gleaming.

Lu Jinxi didn't notice this scorching gaze, she raised her eyes and looked in front of her.

Two little maids came, each carrying a lacquered tea tray and a small cover clock with sweet white glaze on top, and came up to serve tea.

She stretched out her hand, lifted the lid and looked at it, the brown color was dark red, I was afraid it was black tea from Wuyi.

Drinking tea in Jiangnan is light, while drinking tea in Beijing pays attention to the word "酽".

Lu Jinxi is not used to drinking this kind of tea, but she must be familiar with it.

So she didn't show anything strange and took a sip slowly.

Ye's side also brought tea. Just as he was about to drink it, he didn't pay attention when he saw Lu Jinxi on the opposite side.

This is amazing.

Don't say eyelids, her heart is about to jump out!

But seeing that beauty lowered her eyebrows and lowered her eyes, she looked like a bewitching goblin hiding in a temple! Not to mention that the thin lips are lightly sipped, only dipping on the edge of the small cover clock, it is really a sweet and white glaze, sandalwood lips like cherry blossoms!

Where's the tea, it's just ecstasy!

In the end, she is one of the three beauties in Beijing...

Others are getting older and losing their looks, but she seems to be doing the opposite.

If there was anything she didn't like about this ranking in the past, it's all gone now.

It took a lot of effort for Mr. Ye to press his beating heart back into his chest.

At this time, Lu Jinxi also put down the tea cup, took the initiative to search for the topic, and had a few gossip with Ye Shi, and somehow mentioned the snow outside.

At this moment, Mrs. Ye remembered one thing: "The beginning of spring has just passed, and the weather is still cold. Your family and the Grand Master's Mansion are also inherently friendly, I wonder if you heard? The old lady has a leg problem. Again..."

Old lady?

Which one of the first-class civil servants in the dynasty?

If Lu Jinxi remembers correctly, it should be called "Gu Chengqian". I heard that he has a leg problem, but...

"I've been ill recently, and the news from the outside has not come in for a while. But what's wrong here?"

"That's not true." Mr. Ye shook his head and smiled, "I just heard that the old lady went out last night, like she went to the Jokhang Temple, I don't know if it's true or not. Anyway, she fell ill when she came back. now..."

Jokhang Temple.

Lu Jinxi was taken aback, it was a coincidence that she only returned from the Jokhang Temple this afternoon.

Ye shi glanced at her, but she didn't see anything unusual on her face, so she didn't say anything, only said: "I was thinking that the eldest princess and the grand master have a closer relationship, and that one is here again. Jokhang Temple, you just went to the Jokhang Temple today, so you may not know any news. If I can inquire from you, I will be able to take advantage of it, and I can prepare for the birthday banquet in ten days. Alas, it seems that now , it's not a coincidence, I have to go back and find out for myself..."

The eldest princess is Lu Jinxi's aunt, titled "Yongning", the elder sister of the current Qing'an Emperor.

The palace changed thirteen years ago. It was the eldest princess and Gu Taishi who cooperated with each other and helped Emperor Qing'an to ascend to the throne. Therefore, it was not the general's residence and Gu Taishi that had a close relationship, but the Yongning eldest princess and Gu Taishi. The teacher is near.

Lu Jinxi had already checked this out.

She also knew a thing or two about this Gu Taishi. After assisting the emperor in inheriting the great treasure, he became the first civil and military man in the Manchu Dynasty.

Except Ding You spent three years because of the death of Mrs. Gu six years ago, he always said one in the court, and others dared not say two.

Emperor Qing An trusts this old guy very much.

It's just that Gu Chengqian is very smart. He doesn't do anything out of the ordinary in private. He seldom even holds birthday parties.

Mr. Ye actually said that he wanted to prepare for Taishi Gu's birthday banquet.

Dare, this time it's going to be a big deal?

And...

Which one?

Lu Jinxi only felt that these three words were too obscure, and she couldn't react for a while, and there was a bit of confusion in her eyes.

She murmured, "The one?"

When Mr. Ye heard this, he was completely taken aback, and he couldn't believe it: "You...a famous person like him, he had a bit of a relationship with you, you, don't be. Forgot?"
