I was Idle and Cool Chapter 142: Gossip

"It's a big trouble..."

In the courtyard in the other corner of the General's Mansion, Mrs. Sun sat cross-legged on the heated kang in front of the window, looking at the night falling outside, her eyes stained with some vicissitudes were already gloomy.

Mother Feng was also worried, thinking of the rumors and rumors that had spread all over the streets in Beijing in recent days, she wanted to persuade her, and finally sighed.

"Madam, old slave..."

Halfway through, I got stuck again.

Sun shi looked back, only lowered his head, and the silver hairpin on his gray temples looked more and more dim under the light, and only said: "What did you hear?"

"Alas..."

Feng's mother had lived for so many years, and it was the first time she felt so unspeakable.

"You can hear it wherever you go. At first, it was only spread outside. Now even the servants in our house are talking, and they can't scold them. This gossip, even if there is nothing in the first place, can say something. , what's more, it really looks like something. Madam, it's not the way to go on like this."

More than ten days ago, Mr. Lu said he was going to a Zen temple to worship Buddha.

She began to believe in Buddhism after Xue Kuang left.

So when this matter is brought up, naturally there will be no objection. Who would have thought that on the way back, he would be robbed by mountain bandits and taken hostage!

At this point, it can only be said that it is a very unfortunate thing, but it is not enough to cause people to talk about it today.

But it doesn't stop there.

This matter, inexplicably later had something to do with the Grand Master Gu of the Taishi Mansion, Gu Jue, the head of Lifan Hall, who is now being used by the emperor!

After the incident, news spread to the capital.

The emperor immediately sent Fang Shaoxing to lead the officers and soldiers to secretly go to suppress the bandits.

In the process of suppressing the bandits, the Lu family was a weak girl who was injured accidentally, but who would have thought that Gu Juefei would be sent back to the capital so quickly!

Suppressing bandits that day, after all, there are many people with different eyes.

Where in the world can there be an airtight wall?

With the return of the officers and soldiers who participated in the bandit suppression that day and the progress of the tribunal of the three divisions, all kinds of speculation and rumors, as if they had grown wings, spread throughout the capital in less than half a day.

The mountain bandits robbed the general's wife Lu, how could Gu Juefei, the head of the Lifan Hall, also appear there?

It's okay to appear over there, why are you still seriously injured?

And according to rumors, he was not only present on the day of the bandit suppression, but also rescued Mr. Lu and shared a ride with her!

Isn't it good for him to stay in the capital?

What's the matter with him?

Now, in order to protect the general's wife, he almost risked his own life in it, and he is still in a coma!

It is conceivable that boring ordinary people have never been able to spread something out of nothing, not to mention that this matter is too ambiguous and too strange.

One is Gu Da Gongzi of the Grand Master's House who was famous and promising in the past;

One is the wife of the general's official residence who was a beauty in the capital in the early years, widowed and widowed.

Although Xue Chi's apprenticeship was in front of him, no one would ever link these two people together!

——After all, the eight poles can't be hit together, and I know it's impossible.

But now...

If you don't pass it on, it's already, it's amazing.

As soon as the bandit suppression incident came out, the big guy thought about Gu Juefei's acceptance of Xue Chi as a student before, and he suddenly got his nose and eyes.

On the streets and alleys, widows have always been the most talked about.

Not to mention, the status of this widow is very precious now, and it is not small; the object she "goes out of the wall" is even from the top noble family in the capital. Sir!

All of a sudden, anything and everything.

Some people think this should be a coincidence, maybe Gu Juefei was sent by the emperor to suppress bandits;

Some people think that the two are a conspiracy, but they don't know whether it is the eldest son, who has always been very virtuous, who covets the beauty of the former Beijing beauty, or the lonely widow in the deep house seduces the talented and elegant son.

Of course, it's not for nothing.

For example, what if the husband and the concubine intentionally look at each other?

After all, I counted with my fingers, this Lu family got married early, and he was only twenty-seven this year, and he was two years younger than Gu Juefei, who lived in seclusion on the mountain for six years and never married!

What's wrong with a man's talent and a woman's appearance?

All in all, walk around the street now, it sounds good and bad, and there is something to say.

It's just that Mr. Lu is a widow after all.

Even if some people think this has nothing to do with Lu Jinxi, the rumors outside are mostly against her.

Without mother Feng's careful explanation, Mrs. Sun can guess it.

She listened for a while, then slowly turned the Buddha beads in her palm, closed her eyes silently, and felt a rare upset in her heart.

After a long time, he asked, "Where are the people from the palace?"

"I came down with some precious medicinal materials as a reward, and I wanted to ask questions, but you also know that the second young lady hasn't woken up yet, and since she can't ask anything, she just left soon after."

It's a big deal, but it's not that simple.

Because before the news of the mountain bandits robbing Lu Jinxi reached the capital, the news that the Xiongnu mission was destroyed also reached the capital.

As a coincidence—

Fang Shaoxing counted the number of bandits after following the order to suppress the bandits, and unexpectedly found the corpse of a Huns in a pile of corpses!

It's not anyone else, it's the only Hun envoy who escaped the disaster and disappeared, Huyanqi!

Two murders, one was Huyanqi who didn't die in the right place.

There's just too much involved here.

No one knows what the connection between the two murders will be, and whether Lu Jinxi and Gu Juefei have any ulterior ties to the two murders.

All in all, the chief clerk of the three divisions in charge of investigating this case has to visit the general's mansion twice a day, and even the palace sends people down every day to inquire whether Lu Jinxi is awake or not.

Sun's is not someone who has never seen a big scene.

But even with her extensive knowledge, she couldn't guess the connection between these two appalling tragedies and what they wanted to achieve.

"The soldiers will block the water and cover the soil, and wait for her to wake up."

"Then the old slave will send someone over to take a look."

Mother Feng also sighed. Although she had a lot of criticisms against Lu Jinxi in her heart, she felt that she had really ruined the reputation of the General's Mansion.

Keeren is still alive and dead, so he has to suppress all those criticisms.

She lifted the curtain and went out, and she had to tell the little maid outside the door to go to the East Court to inquire, but she just happened to see another maid rushing over, panting, "Mother Feng, Feng Mom, in the east courtyard, the second grandma is awake!"

*

In the east courtyard, Lu Jinxi woke up and didn't know what was going on outside, let alone the Hun mission.

Even when she saw Wei Xianlai, she didn't have much reaction.

A calm gaze swept across her face, and it was all silent in the end.

In trouble?

It goes without saying that she knows it all.

The origins of the "mountain bandits" who held her were not ordinary: not only did they beat the secret guards of the Taishi Mansion, but they also had more or less connections with the Xiongnu or the Huns, and finally ran away a few... …

"You said that you are too, so what kind of incense should I go to the Zen temple?" Wei Xian sat on the embroidered pier moved by the maid, "As soon as this happened, there will be a lot of talk outside. How unpleasant it sounds. If I were you, I would be so ashamed that I would have committed suicide. The second sister-in-law is so good, she looks like a normal person!"

"Three grandma, you..."

It's swearing again, and the egret can't bear it anymore.

Weixian gave her a sideways glance, and snorted, "but the second sister-in-law is fine, what should I do? Sister-in-law can just relax and keep her wounds like this. Inside the palace and the government side, there are still people coming to ask questions every three days, but some suffer."

“…”

Lu Jinxi still didn't answer, just lightly, but when she looked at Wei Xian, she already felt that she was noisy.

It's just that Wei Xian hasn't felt the slightest bit yet.

The opening remarks were almost finished, she turned her eyes slightly, and wanted to open her mouth to inquire about a certain part that she was most interested in.

"Speaking of which, there are rumors that there are noses and..."

Unexpectedly, before she could fully ask this question, Lu Jinxi, who was leaning on the bed, waved to Qingque next to her impatiently.

There are only two words in the exit——

"Send off."

"You!"

The arrogant Wei Xian was once again stunned and speechless!

Compared to the past, she would still be **** for tat with her theories, such indifference and ignorance that are not interested at all, obviously makes people feel more insulted!

I can't cry without seeing the coffin!

Suddenly, she felt that the little pity she had developed in her heart was simply blinded by lard! I still want to inquire about it, and then help her come up with ideas!

For now, it's up to her to lose her reputation!

Weixian is also a person who wants to save face. Thinking like this, he is too lazy to stay. He sneered and got up directly.

Xiaodun didn't even sit hot yet, and turned around and left.

The back looked at him, somewhat annoyed.

The blue sparrow and the egret were stunned.

They almost don't remember how long it has been since their wife has been so angry with anyone, let alone Wei Xian, the third grandmother who ostensibly went to the Sanxian Temple together a while ago.

The two did not speak for a while.

Lu Jinxi, however, directly reached out and took the medicine bowl that Qingque was holding into his own.

Then the empty bowl is handed back.

In the end, he raised his head and asked, "Master Gu, how is it?"
