I was Idle and Cool Chapter 14: What a charm

If she remembers correctly, this child was named Xue Tingzhi by Xue Kuang. It has been eleven years since she returned to the residence, and this year should be sixteen.

There was a lot of uproar about that incident back then, and Lu Jinxi also heard about it.

The Lu family and Xue Kuang were given marriage by the emperor, but Xue Kuang came back from the border to get married. He also brought back a concubine, who was said to be the orchid on the border, who was enchanting and beautiful.

The lame child was the child she gave birth to for Xue Kuang.

The storytellers in the capital did not know where they heard the news. They only said that this orchid was originally seen by others and was to be given to the Huye Khan of the Huns. The Huns fought.

She then seized the opportunity to escape from the Xiongnu army and met Xue Kuang, who was then a lieutenant general.

In order not to be captured by the Xiongnu, Hu Ji took the risk and provided Xue Kuang and others with top secret information, which played a key role in this battle.

The Xiongnu army at that time was quickly defeated by Daxia.

That Orchid never returned to the Western Regions.

One is a young general and the other is a beautiful orchid.

A love story at the border, didn't it just come out like this?

Just...

That Orchid didn't end well.

It is said that after returning to the capital with Xue Kuang, he fell ill due to the inability to adapt to the soil and water, and died in the mansion within a few days.

As for whether it is really "death from illness", who cares?

She was the only one left behind, Xue Tingzhi.

The existence of this child, or the young man, is like a gap between Xue Kuang and the original Lu Clan, an irreparable rift.

Lu Jinxi had read through the account books in the old mansion, and knew that in this case, the Lu family did not treat this son of a bit harshly, but he almost ignored it, and there was no shortage of food and drink.

Thinking about it, it's not very welcome.

Sister Lang is the youngest daughter of the Lu family. She is three years younger than the eldest daughter, Xue Mingli, and is now seven years old.

Lu's love for these two daughters is like a pearl, and as a young girl, Sister Lang is even more painful.

But the egret said, "run to the eldest son again", as if not listening to Lu's words and walking very close to Xue Tingzhi.

It shouldn't be.

Lu Jinxi's eyes slowly drooped, her fingers resting on the slightly cool little table, and she fell into contemplation.

The egret is apprehensive.

Mrs. Lang has always disliked Sister Lang being too close to the eldest son. She is always beating, but she has been ill for the past two weeks, and she has no time to take care of the children.

No, Sister Lang went quietly again.

For fear that Lu Jinxi would be angry, seeing that she hadn't spoken for a long time, she swallowed her saliva and said in a low voice, "Why don't you ask your sisters to come and ask for peace?"

Originally, there was a fixed province in the morning and evening, but Lu Jinxi had been ill for a long time. One was that he had no strength, and the other was that he was afraid of getting sick, so he avoided it early.

Even if I get better, it's only a matter of two days.

She was rushing to put on incense this morning, and before she even entered the temple gate, Xue Kuang's incident happened. When she came back, it was a lot of tossing. Even with the incident of the eldest princess, it could be regarded as a series of twists and turns.

Right now, I'm actually a little tired.

Just after listening to the egret, Lu Jinxi glanced at the sky outside, heard the whistling wind, and said, "It's not too late, it's just dusk, and the wind is so strong. Sister Li and Sister Lang can't be considered tough. You can find me a thicker cloak, and I'll check it out for myself."

"Yes, the slave is looking for it."

The egret was right when she thought about it, so she agreed. Guo went to the opposite room and turned over a thick snow fox fur cloak and put it on Lu Jinxi.

That's not enough.

After thinking about it, she changed the rabbit fur hand cage and said, "Although my sisters live close by, it is you who are really weak. Seeing that it is almost dusk and the sky is cold, this ferret hand cage is It was newly made by slaves a few days ago, so it should be warmer."

Lu Jinxi put on her cloak and put her hands into the novice cage given to her.

Before she left, she instructed the maid in the room: "Brother Chi can watch over there. If your sister Qingque comes back in a while, just ask her to take care of brother first. If there is anything, I will wait for you later. You don't have to go out to find me when you come back."

"Yes."

The little maids responded one by one.

Accompanied by the egret, Lu Jinxi went out the door, crossed the courtyard on the left, and arrived at the three Baosha buildings behind the main house.

It's still bright, but the lights are already lit in the house.

Mother Jiao brightened the wick a little, looked at Xue Mingli who was sitting on the kang slowly embroidering stitches and lines, and sighed: "You have embroidered this little half-moon, it's almost done. Wait until Madam sees you. I must be happy."

"Really?"

Xue Mingli is ten years old this year and already sensible. Her voice is very soft, very similar to her mother, and her facial features have grown a bit, which is a bit poetic and delicate.

Hearing Mama Jiao's words, she was overjoyed.

"I just hope that my mother will get better soon, be healthy in the future, and stop getting sick..."

She embroidered a small purse in her hand, the color of lotus and lotus. It was the last stitch, and the scissors broke the thread after one stitch.

"It's embroidered."

Mother Jiao looked at her with admiration and said, "Don't worry, I just ran into the egret girl who was serving in grandma's house, and said that grandma was already doing well. It's just that she has a lot of things to do after she came back, and she still can't take it off now. Let's go. Later, or tomorrow, the eldest girl is going to say hello."

"Well, then I have to ask my sister to go with me."

Xue Mingli smiled and nodded, but looking at the small purse in her hand, she became embarrassed again, and after thinking for a while, she mumbled.

"When the time comes, I will tell my mother that this is embroidered by my sister and me."

When Momma Jiao heard this, she felt helpless and didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

But seeing that Xue Mingli had already made up her own mind and looked like she was protecting Sister Lang, she couldn't say anything. She just thought of Sister Lang, and she couldn't help sighing. She was about to ask Sister Li to turn around and persuade her.

Unexpectedly, the voice of the little maid saluting came from outside the house: "Greetings to the second grandma."

The second grandma is here?

Mother Jiao was startled and stood up in surprise. When she saw Lu Jinxi walking in, she hurriedly stepped forward to salute: "Why is the second grandmother here?"

"I've been lingering sick for half a month, Miss Li and Sister Lang, I just finished my work, so I came to see."

Lu Jinxi walked in, and it was easy to know that this was Mama Jiao, as for the other...

She looks over.

She is a slender little girl, almost to her chest height.

It should be Sister Li.

A pink jacket with brocade piping and a white fox fur scarf.

Little Guazi has a face and delicate facial features, which are somewhat related to Mrs. Lu. Not much hair was pulled into a double bun with bangs, looking very well-behaved and demure.

She stared at Lu Jinxi for a while, her mouth wide open, as if a little surprised, but it turned into surprise in a blink of an eye, and there were faint tears in her eyes.

"My daughter greets her mother."

"Get up."

Lu Jinxi stepped forward to help her, holding those hands, she only felt warm and soft, and seeing this girl's elegant appearance, it was really not something that ordinary people could teach.

I was in love at the moment.

"I've been ill recently and haven't seen you guys. Are you and Sister Lang okay?"

"Go back to my mother's words. Mammy Jiao is watching, and Sister Qingque is always asking questions. I'm fine with Sister Lang."

Xue Mingli is very sensible.

She was held by Lu Jinxi and felt warm, but she was closer than ever. She couldn't help it, her heart beat faster, and she quietly turned her head to look at her.

Although he was thin and pale, he seemed to be recovering well.

The haggard and haggard look they had when they visited two weeks ago has completely disappeared.

Perhaps it was because she heard from the girls below that her mother had punished the girls on the third aunt's side and beat her badly. She also felt that her mother seemed to be a little more dignified than before.

There was also a needle and thread basket for embroidery on the table. Lu Jinxi glanced at it and remembered what she had just heard when she passed by the window.

This daughter of the Lu family is a filial one.

Also, she is very protective of her sister.

Thinking, she pulled Xue Mingli to sit down, glanced at the right hand she had been clenching tightly, and couldn't help smiling slightly: "You are all right. What's that in the hand next to you?"

"This..."

Xue Mingli blushed a little and became embarrassed.

After hesitating for a moment, he still took out his purse and handed it to Lu Jinxi.

Her eyes were a little brighter, and her voice was filled with joy: "My mother was sick earlier, and they said that a purse embroidered with blessing patterns could pray for blessings, so Mingli embroidered one with her sister, and was about to go to say goodbye. For my mother."

Probably because of lying, her eyes flickered and her ears were a little red.

But when she said "I embroidered one with my sister", there was no reluctance.

The purse is small, and the lotus-colored satin is covered with silver-white Wufu cloud patterns.

Although the stitches are not very good, the embroidery is very dense, as if the stitches are too sparse and the blessing pattern is too thin.

Lu Jinxi felt a little warm in her heart when she saw it.

She actually heard what Xue Mingli said to Jiao Mama just now. How could she not know that this small purse was actually Xue Mingli's hard work alone?

It's just that she has a heart to protect her sister, so Lu Jinxi doesn't expose it.

With a smile and some real surprises, she took the purse from Xue Mingli's hand and smiled: "Sister Li has grown up, this purse is beautifully embroidered, even better than my mother's. ."

"Second grandmother is very humble." Jiao mama next to her listened and complimented, "Your female celebrity was famous in Beijing back then."

Really?

Lu Jinxi didn't know this, so she wrote it down.

Fortunately, the famous lady, everyone, it's one thing, and it's another thing to do it or not. She doesn't worry about revealing her secrets for the time being.

"I'm lazy, but I'm not as diligent as Sister Li."

Lu Jinxi said something casually, but compared the purse to her waist. The lotus-colored purse just matched her light-colored clothes today.

The egret, who came in with him, took a few glances and praised: "This purse made by my sister is really beautiful. The lady's skin is white, and the Wufu cloud pattern is specially selected silver. I'm afraid my sister has spent a lot of time thinking about it. ."

There's no one who doesn't want their hearts and minds to be respected, and who doesn't like compliments.

Lu Jinxi has never raised children. She can only do it based on her own experience with people, so she chose to put her purse on the spot.

I didn't expect that the egret was so clever, so winked, and boasted just right.

Although Xue Mingli is young, she is actually very intelligent.

How could she not know that the egret was overrated?

But I couldn't hide the joy in my heart. With a shy smile on my face, I whispered: "I didn't put much effort into it. It's my mother who looks good. Sister Bailu, you are bragging."

"How dare the slaves brag?"

The egret just stood beside Lu Jinxi, with a smug look, and said to Lu Jinxi: "If the servants were bragging, the madam would have scolded me. Isn't that right, madam?"

"It's cheap and good."

Lu Jinxi scolded her with a smile and poked her with a finger, but then said, "But the praise is right."

The egret burst into laughter.

On the other hand, Xue Mingli became more and more embarrassed. She looked at Bailu and Lu Jinxi, her face even redder.

Lu Jinxi stepped forward, only took her hand, looked at it, left no pinholes, and no scars, so she felt relieved.

She said: "When it gets dark in the future, don't embroider anything. Besides, you are a girl from the General's Mansion, and you will have a maid to serve you in the future. Even if the girl is worse, it doesn't matter. Just don't get hurt. It's better to hurt your eyes."

"Mother..."

This is actually a bit strange.

Xue Mingli was even a little flattered when she heard this.

She vaguely remembered that her mother once said that if her daughter's family didn't have acupuncture skills, her husband's family would look down on her in the future, but listening to Lu Jinxi's words, she said it so plainly and firmly, and she didn't think there was anything wrong at all.

She felt strange in her heart, and she was startled when she saw Lu Jinxi.

Lu Jinxi is normal.

She had seen the old clothes and robes in Lu's house. They were all for Xue Kuang, but they were brand new, obviously no one was wearing them.

Therefore, no matter how good the scorpion girl is, if you don't meet a good person, it's all in vain.

If you meet a really good person, how can the other party dislike the clumsy needles?

Lu Jinxi is not from here, and has never been too lazy to deal with feudalism.

But she didn't explain much. She just looked at the house, the typical daughter's boudoir, fragrant and soft, but she didn't see anyone else, so she asked, "Why didn't you see Sister Lang?"

Xue Mingli suddenly felt guilty and stopped talking.

Mother Jiao was also a little frightened, and after looking at Lu Jinxi, she timidly said: "Sister Lang is... in the eldest son's yard, the old slave has persuaded him, and only said that he will return after passing the meal. See the old man. If the slave doesn't leave, she, she is still muddy the old slave's body..."

"Can't be persuaded?"

Lu Jinxi was immediately surprised. Seeing that Jiao Mama's attitude did not seem to be fake, she slowly frowned.

What is the ability of this concubine born by Orchid, to fascinate a seven-year-old girl like this?

She became curious.

So he smiled: "It's not a big deal. I'd like to see if she can cover me in mud when I go..."
