I was Idle and Cool Chapter 113: Departure

Lu Jinxi is not busy herself, after all, she is barely the head of the family, but after all, nominally, she is going to a Zen temple to burn incense and worship Buddha, so she has to prepare a lot of things.

The preparations began before dawn.

When she got up to take a shower, she was too busy to prepare for the trip out.

Before going out, she went to Mrs. Sun's to greet her.

Not only did she explain to her some of the recent personnel changes in the mansion, but it was also a farewell to the elders in the family before she went out-although she didn't think that the Sun family liked her very much.

But it's still nice to say.

"Brother Chi's recent studies are very reassuring. With the eldest son of Gu from the Grand Master's Mansion, there must be no mistakes; the eldest son is also preparing to go to the academy. Sister Li and On Sister Lang's side, I was going to invite a female gentleman at first, but who thought it would be just right. I heard that Xie Yuan from the Jiangnan Township Examination was coming to Beijing a few years ago, so I was lucky to invite her. I think the wife is also He is an enlightened person, so he made up his own mind and asked him to teach Sister Li and Sister Lang."

Lu Jinxi looked at Sun's expression and said softly.

"However, he was also interested in the eldest son, so he also let the eldest son worship him as Mr."

Since Sun was getting older, he didn't go out much. In the past, he couldn't get used to Lu, because he felt that this daughter-in-law was cowardly and couldn't control the house, which caused the house to be a mess.

So over the years, Wei Xian has bullied her, and she has turned a blind eye.

Privately, she was thinking about the general's house. If Wei Xian could manage it, she would give it to her.

Who would have thought...

These two daughters-in-law are getting more and more powerful.

After listening to her detailed explanation, Mrs. Sun lifted the eyelids that had been hanging on her, looked at her for a moment, and then said: "You are the one who takes care of everything at home, you can make up your own mind. It's me. I heard that you are going out today to light incense at the Zen temple?"

"Come here this morning, just want to talk to my wife about this."

Lu Jinxi couldn't see the slightest guilty conscience on Lu Jinxi's face. No matter who saw it, it was impossible to guess. Going to Dianchan Temple was just a cover, she was just looking for a good excuse to go out.

"These courts have received a lot of grace, and even because the general made a special case for the eldest son. My daughter-in-law only feels that the general is in the spirit of heaven and blesses the house, and the reputation of Dianchan Temple is still higher than that of Jokhang Temple, so My daughter-in-law wants to go to the temple to worship. After coming and going, I plan to stay for three days, eat fast and recite the Buddha. But I can't take care of the affairs of the house..."

When referring to "The Great General is in the Spirit of Heaven", she buried her head very familiarly, and even lowered her eyes slightly, with a faint look of sadness and loss.

When Mrs. Sun saw her, how could she doubt her any more?

Even though she felt that it would not be good for her to go to a Zen temple by herself as a girl, she suppressed this little doubt.

Wearing a simple dress, Sun's harsh gaze slowly moved away from Lu Jinxi's body.

There are three Buddha beads in my hand.

Then nodded and said: "Since you have arranged the affairs of the mansion properly, the people below have their own rules to restrain them. Since you want to go out and incense, don't worry about the affairs of the mansion. I was shocked when there was an old lady. It's not too early, and the incense of the Zen temple is booming, so you should go early."

It's done.

Lu Jinxi felt relieved.

Sun's family didn't keep her, and she didn't want to stay any longer. She got up and paid homage, and did her due diligence: "Thank you mother-in-law for your understanding, and the daughter-in-law will retire first."

Sun's "hmm" sounded.

Lu Jinxi then withdrew from her room.

It's still early.

In the spring, the sunrise has begun to be early, and it is still a misty morning. The sun shines through the cracks in the clouds in the east, streaming down the ground.

She didn't set off directly, but made another trip back to the East House.

Sure enough, several children who had learned the news that she was going out two days ago all came over to greet her this morning.

Xue Chi's eyes were wide open, full of curiosity, but Xue Mingli and Xue Minglang were both reluctant to give up, leaning into her arms and talking with a bit of reliance.

Only Xue Tingzhi looked at her with those deep eyes.

Although Xue Kuang's sons and daughters are smart, they are still too young, and because they like Lu Jinxi, they have no chance to detect some strange clues, nor to think about what is wrong with their mother.

But he's different.

They are very human, how can they not feel the tricks in them?

You know, since she recovered from a serious illness and escaped death, she has only visited the Jokhang Temple once. After this time, there was no more.

The Jokhang Temple is dedicated to Xue Kuang's tablet.

Can you say that the Bodhisattva in the Zen Temple is more spiritual, can it be compared to the tablet of a general?

I didn't go to incense long ago, but now I'm going to a Zen temple.

If she wasn't someone who knew the inside story, who would doubt her?

After all, she is a pitiful person in the eyes of outsiders, and she has been immersed in the sorrow of Xue Kuang's death all year round. It is more appropriate to use her dead husband as an excuse.

"In the few days I'm away, you have to be obedient, and don't make trouble at home. If you teach me to come back and know, be careful about your skin!"

He spoke threatening words, but there was a warm smile on his face.

What Lu Jinxi said to the children was obviously not a deterrent.

Xue Chi then made a face.

Xue Mingli did not speak.

Xue Minglang acted coquettishly: "We will all be obediently waiting for our mother to come back, so we won't be disobedient!"

Lu Jinxi believes what others say, as for Xue Minglang...

She nodded in confidence, but said, "Yes, our sister Lang is the most obedient. Yesterday, your sister Qingque told me, I don't know who wants to ride a horse when the weather is good. You still want to ride the gale, but the gale doesn't want it, so you go to the court again. Oh, who is it?"

Xue Minglang's face turned red with a "swipe".

She, who was still shouting just now, didn't even dare to raise her head, she just slipped out of Lu Jinxi's arms, stomped her feet angrily, and looked at Xue Tingzhi.

"It must have been the elder brother who told my mother! Humph, people like the wind, but the wind doesn't like to pay attention to me..."

"Okay, everyone in the house knows about this, and I dare to blame Tingzhi for being a fool." Lu Jinxi smiled and pulled her over, poked her in the forehead, but looked up at Xue Tingzhi, "Sister Lang is joking with you."

These days, Xue Minglang has been obedient.

The sentence just now was indeed a joke, Xue Tingzhi could hear it.

So he didn't really take it to heart, he just lowered his head and said: "Tingzhi knows. It's just that if the fourth lady wants to ride a horse, she can lead the wind out for a walk. It may not be out of the house for a long time."

High winds.

An old horse.

At the beginning, I followed Xue Kuang to fight on the battlefield. Now the man who made his contribution is gone, and the galloping horse is also blind.

Lu Jinxi tasted the meaning of Xue Tingzhi's sentence "It may not have been out of the house for a long time", and then raised his eyebrows and smiled, unable to tell whether it was true or false: "The weather is getting warmer, the eldest son is in good health. For some, you can also take the wind out for a walk. By the way, you can also bring Sister Lang, after all, she is a little monkey and can't be idle."

Let him take the wind out for a walk?

Xue Tingzhi almost laughed.

He stared at Lu Jinxi, the sarcasm of "a lame man matches a blind horse" almost came to his lips, but when he touched her warm eyes that did not contain malicious intent, he suddenly froze.

Half fire, half ice;

Half conceit, half low self-esteem.

And the sudden hate...

Gui Shou Zhang has been diagnosing and treating him these days, but his "leg disease" is not getting better at all.

If it can be cured, it will be better soon.

Now I'm treating it, but I don't want to make the legs and feet worse. I'll take care of my body and try to be as strong as an ordinary person.

The blood shadow knife light I saw when I was young flashed in front of my eyes again, and finally condensed in a pair of cold and cruel eyes, and then there was the splash of blood, the sudden pain...

I don't know if it's too long ago that the memory has gone wrong.

In retrospect, Xue Tingzhi felt that there was a flash of pity in the eyes of the person who broke his hamstring.

But what kind of mercy is that?

That year he was just a five-year-old child...

The eyes flickered faintly, Xue Tingzhi still didn't say that after all, only quietly clenched the hand hidden in his sleeve, and replied humbly and politely: "Tingzhi knows."

His difference is not obvious.

What's more, after arriving here from Lu Jinxi, I didn't feel that he was different, so I didn't notice any special changes in his mood.

Seeing that things were almost done, she sent them back.

The Qingque Egret was ready to travel early, and the carriage was also waiting outside the mansion gate, a total of two. The front is Lu Jinxi's car, and the back is carrying some necessities for daily use.

Egret stayed in the house to handle things, while Qingque went out with her.

As soon as Xue Chi and the others left, she picked up some important things in the study, went out and got on the carriage, all the way to the south gate.

The appointment with Gu Juefei is at the end of the hour.

Lu Jinxi is not the kind of person who is used to letting others wait for him, so he left a little earlier, and arrived at the station ten miles outside Nancheng in almost half an hour.

Unexpectedly, Gu Juefei was already waiting there.

Apricot blossoms are planted beside the inn, full of branches.

A team of Taishi's mansion guards dressed in ordinary costumes were all outside the inn checking the horses and their belongings, and some gathered beside them, speaking in low voices, appearing extremely solemn.

Gu Juefei was not with them, just sitting under the apricot tree.

He wore a dark-ink brocade robe today, and the corners of the crane cloak he wore were still embroidered with his favorite dark silver bamboo leaf pattern, which added a bit of extravagance to him.

Perhaps it was a little early, and there was a little spring chill on his face.

A few strands of hair were wet with morning mist.

The carriage of the General's Mansion stopped nearby, Qingque lifted the curtain of the carriage, and Lu Jinxi only leaned out halfway and saw him at once.

So slightly startled.

At this time, I remembered that Gu Juefei was going to go to court now. From this appearance, it seemed that he came directly on horseback after the dismissal of the court, otherwise he would not have been caught in the fog and cold.
