I was Idle and Cool Chapter 11: Golden Scale

Forgot?

She really doesn't know much.

Looking at Ye Shi's reaction now, the person, the original body should have known each other, I'm afraid there is a deep connection.

If you can't say anything right, you might be exposed.

The situation is actually a bit critical, but Lu Jinxi has been through the wind and waves, and he has his own way to deal with this situation.

At the moment, she did not shy away from Ye Shi's gaze, but instead smiled vaguely and deliberately said half-truth: "I really forgot."

Yep really hit the mark.

She is very shrewd, knows a lot, thinks a lot, and naturally thinks a lot at the moment.

Seeing Lu Jinxi's half-smiling expression, combined with the old things she knew, she could see a bit of sarcasm, but she just thought she understood and deliberately pretended to be confused with herself.

May...

With those things going on back then, Lu Jinxi didn't want to mention "that one", which was quite normal.

Ms. Ye held the little cover clock, and sighed for a while: "I was confused for a while, and I forgot that you and them, Madam, have a grudge. After all, when Wei Yi squeezed you out like that, Gu Juefei had **** with her again. Well, it's normal that you don't want to see him now..."

This short sentence gave Lu Jinxi the information he wanted almost immediately.

She suddenly remembered-

Have heard.

Whether it was Wei Yi or Gu Juefei, she had heard of it.

It's just that what she heard was the anecdote of the most prolific talents and beauties in the market, but what Ye Shi mentioned was the obscurity in the courtroom, and she didn't get in touch for a while.

This Wei Yi is the number one beauty in Beijing, far surpassing the original one.

And Gu Juefei, the eldest son of Gu Taishi, is even more talented. I heard that he took the third flower at the age of 23 and has a good relationship with Wei Yi.

Everyone says they are talented and beautiful, and they are extremely right.

Unexpectedly, Wei Yi later entered the palace and became a favored concubine. Gu Juefei didn't know why she went to become a monk and lived in seclusion in a "Xuecuiding".

Judging from Ye's words now, this "Xuecuiding" is probably somewhere in the Jokhang Temple.

Because this fact is too legendary, and there are too many places to discuss, so even if it happened five or six years ago, people still remember it and often mention it.

It's just that Lu Jinxi didn't know that there were still festivals between Yuan Shi, Wei Yi and Gu Juefei.

Her understanding of Gu Juefei was limited to the few words the maids said when they were pregnant, so even if she remembered it, there was no clue on her face.

The thick eyelashes trembled lightly, Lu Jinxi gave a light laugh, she already had the confidence in her heart, and began to repeat Ye's words: "It's been such a long time, who can remember it all the time? Mrs. Shizi just said, Gu Taishi went to the Jokhang Temple last night, and Gu Da Gongzi also happened to be in the Jokhang Temple..."

Her voice trailed off gradually, as if she was thinking.

Lu Jinxi has hardly gone out since Xue Kuang left.

Ms. Ye didn't know her details, she just assumed that she didn't know anything, or that she was not involved in these matters. /

Who doesn't know about Gu Juefei's falling out with his family a few years ago?

Master Gu was so angry that he scolded and disobeyed, but who could compare to Gu Juefei?

Fifteen to study abroad, nineteen to return to Beijing.

In the past four years, his friends have spread all over Jiangnan Shilin, and now many of them are officials in the DPRK.

He is a 23-year-old Tanhua himself, no matter whether he is a scholar from a low school in Beijing or a son of a noble family, all of them are eager to make friends, and if you mention him, you will sincerely admire him.

And...

Gu Juefei has done a lot of things in private. Mrs. Ye has only heard of it a little bit, but thinking about it so far makes her heart tremble.

Whether in terms of talent, in terms of means, or even in terms of mind, which one is he not better than the old master Gu?

Even if they had a falling out with the family, anyone with eyes would know that the eldest son of Gu Taishi's favorite and most high hopes.

Having been in the family of Hou Menxun for a long time, Ye Shi's eyes are not simple at all.

She can see through many things.

Now it's been analyzed in detail for Lu Jinxi, and it's well-organized and the context is clear.

"Madam, you should have heard that the second son of the Grand Master's House passed the Juren exam last year and is considered a young talent; even the children born by Mrs. Gu's continuation string are all smart and clever."

"But with Gu Da Gongzi Zhuyu in front, they became the light of fireflies."

"Even if they do well, there will always be an elder brother on their head. Even in Taishi Gu's heart, no one can compare to his eldest son..."

This is the first time that Lu Jinxi has heard someone describe Gu Juefei in such a detailed manner, this...

A big man of equal fame with Xue Kuang.

She didn't interrupt, nor was she impatient, she just listened to Mrs Ye's words bit by bit.

"Master Gu is 50 years old this year, with poor bones and legs."

"This winter, he was seriously ill and he couldn't go to court for several days. The imperial physicians in the imperial hospital in the palace were so frightened that they couldn't sleep well for several days."

"It's such a great effort to support the lintel of the family's family, and he is supported by an old man? I can't tell when I'm going to go to office..."

"As soon as the news of Gu Taishi's visit to the Jokhang Temple spread last night, every household in the capital this morning, who wouldn't send people around to inquire about it?"

"He has never believed in gods or worshipped Buddhas. Going to the Jokhang Temple, except for Gu Da Gongzi who lives in seclusion in the snow-green top, he hardly thinks about it."

"Everyone in the capital is wondering: Will the eldest son of Gu come back, when will he come back, whether he wants to inherit the family business, and who will the old lady's powerful contacts in the court be left to..."

Speaking of this, Mr. Ye couldn't help shaking his head and sighing.

The Gu family has a big tree with deep roots.

Although their imperial government is powerful, it is really far behind such a faction with real power.

Lu Jinxi finally heard the clue: it turned out to be a matter of interest...

Gu Taishi has such a great ability in the court, and Gu Juefei is such a formidable person. Once the father and son are reconciled, the direction of the Gu family may change.

The affairs in the imperial court are intertwined and deeply implicated.

Therefore, there are only a few troubles, and there are countless people who are facing the enemy, sitting and lying in peace.

This is interesting.

The reason why Mrs. Ye wanted to come to her just now to ask her about the Gu family was also in order to seize the one-two-point advantage in such an ever-changing situation, at least not make mistakes, right?

After all, there seem to be quite a few sons in the Gu family, but Gu Juefei is the one who is the most powerful.

The more Lu Jinxi thought about it, the more interesting it became.

She pondered for a while, then asked, "Does Mrs. Shi think that Young Master Gu will come back?"

“…”

Ye looked at her for a long time, speechless and helpless.

"Madam, don't make fun of me. Back then, Young Master Gu was so decisive, when the news came out, he stunned most of the capital like a thunderbolt. Now who can predict it? The Grand Master's Mansion doesn't have much of the upper hand, but you..."

Speaking of this, Ye Shi paused for a while, and her eyes became a little complicated and meaningful.

"Although Madam is not compatible with Concubine Xian, it's all in the past."

"Ling Zun, Mrs. Lu and Taishi Gu are jinshi in the same department, and they are very close friends. There is also Princess Yongning in the general's house. In the past, he cooperated with Taishi Gu and helped the current emperor to ascend to the great treasure. A relationship that couldn't be closer..."

"Mrs. Lu is the jewel in the palm of your hand, and I heard that she has a good relationship with the eldest princess."

"If you want to tell the whole story of Gu Taishi going up the mountain, no matter how well-informed I am, I can't compare with Mrs."

Lu Jinxi heard it, but it was clear in her heart.

In this way, it is true that Lu's news should be well-informed...

"It's just a pity, I've been sick for the past few days, and no one has come to tell me even the news of the birthday banquet at the Grand Master's Mansion. Now that I know about Grand Master Gu's going up the mountain, it's still a lot of work. Mrs. Shizi mentioned..."

"It doesn't matter."

Ye's family is also clear about the affairs of the wealthy family. She patted Luo Dingfang's head in her arms and said with a smile, "Now that Madam is ill, I am afraid that things will come piled up, even if you stop I want to be lazy, but this situation is not possible. But I have a word, I want to tell you, I don't know whether to say it or not..."

Lu Jinxi was curious: "It's okay if you say it."

"Just think I'm overthinking..."

Ye felt a little emotional, looked at Lu Jinxi, and remembered her half-truth "really forgot".

"I see your demeanor just now, as if you haven't let go of the holiday with the concubine Xian."

"But now the Grand Master's Mansion is very powerful, and Young Master Gu has no connection with the concubine Xian."

"Whether it's for the General's Mansion or for Brother Chi's plans, Madam should also put aside these grievances and take this opportunity to make friends with the Grand Master's Mansion..."

Although the Xue family has been in charge of the family for generations, wars were frequent when the late emperor was there.

Xue's family room and the second room were both killed in battle, and even the first room's direct descendant was folded in. Lu Jinxi's mother-in-law Sun was a widow, Lu Jinxi's aunt Yongning Princess was a widow, and Lu Jinxi's eldest sister-in-law He was still a widow.

Even Lu Jinxi is the same.

The capable men in the family all went to war, and most of them didn't end well.

Now that the manor has reached an age, people who are alive but haven't mixed up themselves are mostly muddy mud that can't support the wall, and they can't be expected to climb up on their own.

When Grand Master Gu was an important official, he was not only involved in civil affairs.

Besides, Lu Jinxi comes from a family of poetry and calligraphy, and he is afraid that he may not want his children to go to the battlefield again. From this point of view, if the children are sent to the time school to be raised, you can see a thing or two.

Ye's words were all because Lu Jinxi was afraid that Lu Jinxi would lose the chain at this turbulent juncture because he remembered the grievances of the past.

To make friends with Gu Taishifu, not to mention one more friend, at least one less enemy.

It's all true, but in fact Lu Jinxi didn't know the grudge between the original body and them, and he didn't feel anything about Weiyi and Gu Juefei.

She knew that it was the half-truth that she had said before, which was a misunderstanding by Mrs. Ye.

But she doesn't explain.

A pair of hands, with transparent and rounded nails, slowly overlapped and rested on their knees.

Lu Jinxi smiled warmly, and said to Mrs Ye, "I can't match Mrs. Shizi's thoughtfulness. If I get a chance to go back to the Taishifu's birthday banquet, I will inquire. If I have any news, say I'm not allowed to bother you again, so I'll ask you a question or two."

Ye's eyes flickered slightly, and when she raised her eyes, she met Lu Jinxi's deep, unmoving eyes.

For a while, I was a little shocked.

It seems that the other party has seen through her own little thought: Isn't she showing her favor to Lu Jinxi just to get some news about Gu Taishi's mansion?

Now that Lu Jinxi has responded, she feels a little uncomfortable.

Fortunately, Mrs Ye's response was quick, and she smiled at the moment: "That really benefits me, and it saves me from inquiring about the Taishifu. I should thank Mrs."

This is a very candid statement, without concealing it in the slightest.

When Lu Jinxi heard the words, she had a good impression and couldn't help but laugh.

The atmosphere in the house is now more harmonious than before.

The two of them changed the subject again, gossiping for a while.

After about two minutes, Lu Jinxi got up and said goodbye when it was getting dark.

Before she left, she asked Egret to keep all the medicinal materials, and Mrs. Ye accepted it without any hesitation, and took her all the way to the door.

After seeing Lu Jinxi disappear into the lane, she had time to think back to the afternoon.

Sit and talk with Lu Jinxi, it is a very comfortable enjoyment.

Whether it's listening to her voice, looking at her face, and all the subtle gestures, it's all right.

After thinking about the details carefully, I was inexplicably frightened: Can an ordinary person make people feel this way?

Slightly shaking, Ye Shi murmured in a trance: "How can it be more difficult to see than Wei Yi..."

Are the individuals who said Wei Yi No. 1 blind?

With an extremely inexplicable emotion, Mrs Ye returned to the room.

Lu Jinxi, who had left the Duke's Mansion, re-entered the East Court with the company of Bailu and others.

A few maids are guarding outside the house.

She went up the steps and wanted to ask about Guishouzhang. Unexpectedly, when she looked up, she saw a few unfamiliar maids standing outside.

A peach-colored jacket looks very delicate. When standing, her legs are together, her back is straight, but her head is lowered slightly, and her hands are folded in front of her.

A little bit more strict than the other maids in the house?

Even this appearance is extremely outstanding, and it doesn't look like it can be taught by the mansion.

As soon as she thought about it, before she could ask, a maid from the East Court came up and whispered to Lu Jinxitong: "Second grandma, the eldest princess has been waiting in the room for a while, waiting for you. What?"

The princess?

Lu Jinxi's eyelids jumped.

Isn't that the Princess Yongning that she mentioned to Ye Shi before?

When the late emperor was there, she married Xue Huan, the second son of General Xue, as a princess.

Because of her high status, although she is only in front of the second room's home, there is no respect for her in the big room.

Because she contributed a lot when Emperor Qing'an succeeded to the throne, she was also quite powerful in the court, and her status in the government was even more detached.

The original Mrs. Lu, with this gentle temperament, was able to support the head of the family for several years in the mansion, but she actually had her support behind her.

Lu Jinxi didn't know why, but it didn't prevent her from paying attention to the matter.

I just don't know why this long princess aunt came here?

She frowned, nodded, and walked into the house, but she remembered everything Ye Shi said before...

The eldest princess and Gu Taishi are very close and should know a lot.

Is it possible...
