I was Idle and Cool Chapter 158: Letter

Gu Juefei looks abstinent and indifferent on the surface, but in fact it is strong and fast, like a fire wrapped in ice, like a sword hidden in a sheath.

He has an edge, but he rarely shows it;

He has ambitions, but he hides them.

This person, she should not provoke, nor can she provoke.

It's a pity that this realization came too late.

Lu Jinxi also suddenly realized this when she woke up in the upstairs of Lonely Window Building the next morning. When she woke up, she immediately knew what she said wrong last night.

Inexplicably, he laughed.

She now believes that Gu Juefei's six years on the top of Xue Cui are really pure-hearted and calm and self-controlled. Maybe she has read a lot of Buddhist scriptures, and she has learned a lot about meditation.

How can ordinary people be so patient?

In front of her, she punished her for saying the wrong thing and hanged her, but in the back she ignored her and begged for mercy. After eating it once, she became more relaxed and asked her one sentence after another, "Is there anything wrong in my mind?"

What did she remember at that time?

Of course I can't answer it.

So the middle of the night just passed.

The carved windows are hidden, and the wind blows in from the outside.

Everything in the house is simple and exquisite. The scrolls spread out on the bookcase are not folded. The painting cylinders next to it are filled with scrolls. One wall is full of rare ancient books.

The commonly used bell seals are stored in the Duobao grid behind the bookcase.

I don't know where the robes were thrown on the ground last night. Instead, there was a brand new dress on the shelf.

Light begonia color, with delicate tangles on the corners.

It is a fine Su embroidery with fine stitches. She got up and picked it up to take a look. The tailoring is also unique, but it is very beautiful.

Perhaps there was a little noise when I got up, but someone outside heard it, and there was a knock on the door, clear and crisp: "Madam, are you awake?"

No one came here last night, Lu Jinxi remembers.

She glanced at the dress, put it back, and called someone in. She saw that it was a girl with a slightly round face and a rather pleasing face. If I remember correctly, it was the dowry girl who came from the Lu Mansion.

Sometimes strange: "Wind chimes? Why are you here?"

"It was before dawn today that the eldest son sent someone to call the slaves to serve him."

Feng Chi was originally a maid from the Shangshu Mansion. Because she was clever and sensible, Mrs. Lu pointed her to take care of Lu Jinxi. She smiled awkwardly at this moment.

"The eldest son went to court early in the morning. He just came back for a while. He just came here. Seeing that you are still asleep, please tell the servants not to wake you up. As soon as Mr. Meng came, he went down to talk to Mr. Meng again. ."

This time, Lu Jinxi inevitably blushed a little, not knowing whether she should be ashamed or distressed.

Although I don't know what he was doing last night, but he didn't run until very late. Counting the time of the court, I'm afraid he hasn't been able to sleep for an hour a night, right?

I didn't say sleep for a while, and went down to talk to Meng Ji again.

"Come and wait for me to wash."

Although the egret is not used to it, she likes the wind chimes quite a bit, so I asked her to dress herself and fetch water for a little wash, and then she opened the window refreshed. Take a look outside.

A three-story building is not too short in the Taishi Mansion.

Standing upstairs and looking at the past, the view is excellent.

The gigantic Taishi Mansion can be seen in full view. The courtyards, flowers and trees, corridors, and the lake under the rising sun and the lotus leaves swaying in the wind are all beautiful in an instant.

So she smiled, turned around and walked outside the house. After a short walk, she followed the stairs and went down to the second floor.

Before getting close, I heard voices in the room.

"The people arrested last night, Mr. Fang, have already interrogated them all night. They only said that they were gangsters, crying and crying in the prison. They don't know what you want to ask. It's empty."

"As expected."

"What are you going to do next?"

"The enemy doesn't move and I don't move. Now it's people who are strong and I'm weak. It's good that he doesn't move, and he can give me some time to breathe. It was only when Da Xia was connected to the second prince, whether it was him or Lan Princess Qu, don't dare to act rashly. No news is the greatest good news."

"You're right. By the way, there was something else last night..."

This is Meng Ji's voice. He seems a little hesitant and a little bit afraid, but he still said it, but it was a little lower.

The door is not closed.

Lu Jinxi had already walked outside the door, only to see Meng Ji pulling out a letter from his sleeve, with a small seal on the seal of the lacquer.

But the words are too small and too far apart for her to read them clearly.

At this moment, Gu Juefei saw her, put down the refreshing tea cup in his hand, and without looking at Meng Ji who was standing beside him, he got up and walked towards her.

The smile on his face is obvious.

"You're awake, haven't you eaten yet? There's jujube and barley porridge this morning, and I'll let them serve it."

Lu Jinxi nodded, but couldn't help but glance at Meng Ji.

Gu Juefei didn't answer the letter, it was still in his hand.

She then laughed: "I heard that you went to the court early in the morning, and then dealt with things here in the next court. Last night I told me that nothing major happened, why do I feel different?"

"Will you find out if something big happens when you go back and go out?" Gu Juefei didn't care that Meng Ji was watching next to him, he just took her hand and asked her to sit down on the rose chair by the window. He turned back to Meng Ji and said, "You go to the Ministry of Rites to hand over the things. You don't have to come here for the next two days if you don't have anything important. Go first."

"...Yes."

Meng Ji's eyelids twitched. Although he took out the letter, Lu Jinxi was here now, but he didn't dare to hand it to Gu Juefei no matter what.

And based on his experience, even in Gu Juefei's hands, he would only end up in flames.

So he wisely took the letter back and tried to do it as naturally as possible, as if the letter was handed to him by Gu Juefei, not by himself.

Just how keen is Lu Jinxi?

It was almost at a glance that Meng Ji was uncomfortable.

She gave a faint smile, looked at Gu Juefei and said, "It doesn't matter if you believe it or not?"

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter." Before Gu Juefei could speak, Meng Ji hurriedly laughed and said, "It's all trivial, I'll take care of it. This will not disturb the wife and son, Meng Ji will retire."

After speaking, the people backed out.

There's nothing wrong with it from start to finish.

But Lu Jinxi felt that there was an inexplicable guilt in his expression, as if he was afraid she would know something.

Originally she wasn't very interested, but Meng Ji aroused her a little bit of interest, but she didn't say anything in front of Gu Juefei, she didn't notice anything at all, and only asked about other things: "According to the rules, It seems that you should go to see the old lady this morning?"

When the new daughter-in-law enters the door, she has to serve tea from her in-laws.

It's the same with any big family.

Obviously Gu Juefei didn't forget it, but he still didn't take it seriously, he only said: "The old lady has just been in court for a while. You can go after you have eaten. It's just right, don't be in a hurry."

Last night calling the emperor by his name was taboo, and today he calls his father "Old Master". Even if he knew earlier that his relationship with the old master was indifferent and contradictory, it sounds a little unpleasant now.

For him.

She just didn't know anything about the Gu family, so she didn't say anything.

After a while, the porridge and rice came up.

After Lu Jinxi had eaten, he followed Gu Juefei out of the lonely window and walked along the covered bridge to the main house.

As Gu Juefei said, the time is just right.

They arrived neither too early nor too late. The other two young masters from the Grand Master's Mansion had just arrived for a while, and the old master, Gu Chengqian, had just changed out of his court clothes and sat at the top with his continuation of the string, Mrs. Tang.

It's just that whether it's him or the Tang family, the expressions on his face are a little reluctant.

Gu Chengqian has a grudge in his heart, but it's not that he doesn't like Lu Jinxi, but he just can't stand this hypocritical son who has lived up to all his expectations.

Unfortunately, it's a done deal, and I have to endure it if I can't.

The Tang family on the side is the most complicated one.

She once thought that Gu Juefei would marry a very powerful woman in the future and take away all the power in the hands of her successor, but she never thought that this woman would be Lu Jinxi.

At the time of Taishi's birthday banquet, he was on an equal footing with her.

This is a former first-class official, and he was very fond of her and had a few words with her. But after the edict, she suddenly became her daughter-in-law.

I couldn't tell whether I was happy or sad for a while.

When Mrs. Tang took the cup of tea she offered, her hands trembled.

Of course Lu Jinxi noticed it, but the scene was so embarrassing that she had no choice but to ignore it.

The tea was served, and the elders' greetings were also given.

The etiquette of the wedding day is almost over here.

Gu Chengqian didn't say a word from the beginning to the end, but Tang Shi was a little embarrassed by the atmosphere, so he came out and said a few words.

Lu Jinxi and Gu Juefei are the kind of people who don't panic.

The two of them didn't feel anything, and they didn't have any self-consciousness to ease the atmosphere. They had no choice but to talk with Tang's relatives and make a few jokes to get through the scene.

It's not that Lu Jinxi didn't warm up, but this was her first day at the Taishi Mansion, and she knew early on that Gu Juefei's relationship with the mansion was very general, so she thought it would be better for her to talk less.

So just watch and listen.

Gradually, I learned a little about the Gu family.

No one asked about the fact that she and Gu Juefei didn't sleep in the new room last night, or even went out in the middle of the night.

I don't know if I don't know, or I don't dare.

Anyway, this morning passed peacefully.

Just when he was about to leave, Gu Chengqian, who had not spoken, suddenly stopped Gu Juefei: "Let's go first, you stay, I have something to tell you."

The others all looked up at Gu Juefei, but they didn't dare to stay any longer, so they all withdrew.

Only Lu Jinxi was holding his hand.

Hearing Gu Chengqian calling him, he looked a little impatient, and there was a coldness etched into his bones.

He doesn't seem to want to stay.

But in the end it stayed.

The palm that held Lu Jinxi's hand tightened, and then slowly loosened it. She only smiled at her: "Go back first, don't walk around if you don't know the way, and ask the maid to take you."

"Hmm."

Lu Jinxi guessed that this should be another unpleasant conversation, so she nodded, neither interrupting nor interfering, and left first.

The scorching heat of summer is raging at this time.

The sun shines brightly.

Lu Jinxi had just walked out of the main house and felt a little dazzling. She only let the maid lead her around the house. When she was about to go back to Xiaozhu, she saw Meng Ji on the other side of the corridor with a few huggers. The boy with a stack of papers hurried past.

For some reason, she remembered what happened in the study on the second floor of Xiaozhu, and called out, "Mr. Meng."

Mengji was just passing by.

As soon as he saw Lu Jinxi's figure from a distance, his eyelids jumped. He was about to urge the servants behind him to leave, but she stopped him.

It's not going to stop now.

He felt a little uneasy, he walked over and bowed: "Meng Mou has seen his wife. He was just about to send the documents to the Ministry of Rites, but I met you. I wonder what your instructions are?"

Lu Jinxi glanced at him half-smile.

At the moment, I just pretended that I didn't understand what he meant by implying that he was very busy, and instead stretched out the white and slender palm towards him and spread it out gently.

The voice is cool: "Bring it."

Meng Ji was so frightened that he almost fell to his knees, unable to speak, forced a smile: "You, what do you want?"

This time, the smile on Lu Jinxi's face instantly fell.

Changing faces faster than flipping books!

Where has Meng Ji ever seen this battle? Not only knew that she was not a kind person, but also knew that his son had put her at ease, so he didn't dare to be stubborn and resisted.

"Give it to you, all to you!"

A thin letter with a faint scent of ambergris.

As soon as Lu Jinxi lowered her eyes, she saw the small characters on the lacquer, which she had not been able to read clearly before—Yi.

So he laughed: "Tsk."
