I was Idle and Cool Chapter 159: Promise
For Meng Ji, this is definitely the second unforgettable day after Gu Juefei was deceived and coaxed to become a doorman.
Lu Jinxi didn't read the letter and only chatted with him a few words.
With less than ten sentences before and after, he shook out all the details of his master.
The seller wants glory, ah no, the seller wants to survive, he is first class.
How do you say that?
Meng Ji is from a wise man, and he can see clearly the situation between his son and this aunt.
It's nasty to say, if the couple were to really pinch each other in the future, it would be the eldest son of his own family who would be accommodating to her, and would never say anything bad about her.
So, he is now taking refuge with Lu Jinxi. This is what a smart person would do.
More...
He also doesn't think he has a way to survive now without selling.
After some chat, Lu Jinxi let him go.
The little maid, Feng Chi, had not been serving her for a long time, but she knew a little about her temperament.
Lu Jinxi took it apart slowly and took a look.
A thin piece of gold-sprinkled letterhead with only three characters written on it.
She thought it was interesting before she saw it, and it was even more interesting after reading it.
Just after thinking about it, Meng Ji swears and swears that their son has absolutely nothing to do with that man, so she doesn't have any excessive reaction at this moment.
As soon as I put the letter in my sleeve, nothing happened to the lunch box.
Lu Jinxi returned to Xiaozhu, guessing that she would live here for a long time in the future, so she looked around, especially researching Gu Juefei's bookshelves.
It was near noon that he came back.
Wearing in a dark green robe, his face looked nothing, but from the moment he entered the door, Lu Jinxi vaguely sensed his unhappy mood.
A bit of depressed gloom is hidden between the long eyebrows cut like a knife in ink painting.
Just can't release it again.
He just walked in with a smile, saw her flipping through the book, and asked softly what she was looking at, Lu Jinxi said in a casual manner, she didn't look at anything, just flipped through it casually.
"I've been talking to the old lady for a long time, and it's not getting better?"
She didn't ask what the conflict between father and son was. After all, Gu Juefei was not a fool in this world. If it could be resolved, it would have been resolved.
Gu Juefei sat down under the bookshelf, poured himself a cup of tea, held it in his hand, but didn't drink it, only immersed his eyes in the clear tea, and remained silent for a long time.
After a while, he said, "What's good or bad, no matter how bad it is."
There is an unspeakable depression in his eyes.
This is very rare in Gu Juefei's body.
Lu Jinxi put down the copy of "Shuxi" in his hand and walked over to him. He wanted to persuade him, but then he thought it was related to the secret he didn't want to mention to her, so he said again. swallow it back.
I didn't mention the matter of encountering Meng Ji in the middle of the journey, nor the matter of holding a letter. She just bent down slightly, touched his forehead, and sighed in a low voice: "I was busy with the Huns a month ago, I've been busy with getting married for two days, and I barely slept last night. At this time, let's put everything down. Have a meal and go to sleep later?"
"Hmm."
Gu Juefei is a little tired, especially those who just talked to Gu Chengqian in the room.
As early as a few months ago, he had been reluctant to defend himself any longer, and facing Gu Chengqian's silence today, he also made the other party think he was acquiescing.
In the end, Gu Chengqian was tired, and so was he.
Xue Kuang is the biggest and deepest gap between their father and son.
He knew that unless Xue Kuang really appeared in front of Gu Chengqian, he would believe that he was blind and saw the wrong person; Gu Chengqian sadly found that although he no longer agreed with Gu Juefei's son, now he is old Tall and physically difficult, the Gu family can only be handed over to him.
One is too lazy to argue, and the other is unable to investigate further.
Gu Juefei remembered what Gu Chengqian said when he finally left, so he slowly closed his eyes, and the boiling emotions in his heart were finally suppressed by him little by little.
When he opened his eyes again, he was the Gu Juefei that Lu Jinxi was familiar with.
But now that Lu Jinxi has met, he feels that his heart is blocked.
She doesn't speak anymore.
Gu Juefei looked at her brows and eyes, pulled her to sit in his arms, leaned his chin lightly on her shoulder, and looked at the scorching summer scene outside the half-opened window.
In a trance, I remembered that the day when Gu Chengqian kicked him out of the house was such a good day. It was only as soon as the night fell, it started pouring rain, thunder and lightning, and electric snakes roamed the sky.
When he came back from the palace, Gu Chengqian was waiting in front of the ancestral hall.
That was the first time he was angry with the father who taught him to raise him, and asked him loudly how he dared to plan for Xue Kuang behind his back and tip off the news, but he red-eyed and asked him how he gave birth to such a poison that kills loyalty and goodness Heart.
In that year, his memories of summer were only the night when his body and heart were cold, only the Jokhang Temple where the bells sounded late, and the lonely snow-green roof...
Six years.
He wasted six years.
Gu Juefei laughed inexplicably and wanted to talk to Lu Jinxi, but the robe around her feet tightened, as if she was bitten by something.
"Wow, woo!"
He looked down and saw that the puppy who had grown up a lot came in at some point, played with him as usual, and lightly bit the corner of his robe.
Of course Lu Jinxi heard it too.
She followed and looked down. When she saw this little guy, her eyes lit up and she recognized it: "Is this the last time I came to you to see that puppy? It's so big. ."
Before Gu Juefei could react, she had already got up from his arms, picked up the much bigger little white dog, and looked left and right.
The whole body is white and the ears are soft.
Obviously, the food in the Taishi's mansion is very good, chubby, neither fierce nor afraid of people, very cute.
Gu Juefei was speechless.
Lu Jinxi suddenly remembered something and asked with a smile, "I remember last time I asked you if it had a name, but you said no, and you didn't want me to help you name it. Now I can be considered its master. Is it famous? ?"
No.
This was Gu Juefei's answer early in the morning, and even Lu Jinxi could name it whatever he wanted, but when he was about to speak, he saw the puppy, but he recalled the time when he picked it up and came back. .
A dirty one, waiting pitifully by the side of the road.
The bereaved dog.
It was the day after Gu Chengqian's birthday banquet. He turned against Gu Chengqian at home, rested for the night in the Huisheng Hall with wine, and went to find the eldest princess Yongning.
On the way out, I saw it.
God knows if I saw it or I saw myself.
So at this time, the two words that were about to be exported suddenly couldn't come out. Gu Juefei stared at it for a while, and said lightly: "It's called Gu Juefei."
"What?"
Lu Jinxi didn't understand, he just thought he misunderstood his own question, but when he looked back, he saw his indifferent and lonely expression.
Hold the puppy for a while, startled.
The words Gu Juefei said in a joke in the past suddenly passed through his mind.
She remembered that when she first saw the puppy, he said he picked it up from the roadside. At that time, when she asked what the puppy's name was, he looked a little ugly and refused to tell him.
Now, he said, the puppy's name is Gu Juefei.
If I hadn't known Gu Juefei, knew who he was, and looked at his demeanor at the moment, Lu Jinxi might have thought he was joking, or just joking.
But...
She knew him and could see him.
She has always been sensitive and smart, and because she is a painted skin demon, she is especially able to see through the disguise of others.
The moment Gu Juefei said the answer, she faintly understood.
It's just that the more she understands, the more she doesn't know what to say at the moment.
On the other hand, Gu Juefei, who was already used to a certain emotion, suddenly saw this distressed and hesitant look on her face, and when her heart warmed, she hooked her hand and asked her to come over.
Lu Jinxi came over, but just squatted down, gently folded his hands, put them on his lap, and put his chin on the back of his hands, just raised his eyes and looked up at him slightly.
Gu Juefei from this angle is particularly beautiful.
The outline is clear, the edges and corners are cold, and there is a kind of vulgarity and loneliness that cannot be touched by ordinary people.
When a woman sees a man from this angle, a man's heart melts.
Lu Jinxi didn't know whether Gu Juefei's heart had changed, but she laughed when she saw him, and then asked her softly, "Do you remember what I said in the Golden Palace?"
Her appointment is given by him.
Lu Jinxi remembers this sentence.
So she blinked, blinking instead of nodding.
Gu Juefei's fingers, which were soaked with the scent of ink, slowly fell down onto her neat temples, and then slowly stroked to the side of her face.
Lu Jinxi couldn't see his expression clearly, but only heard his calm voice.
Shallow, even leisurely.
But there is a heavy weight like a deep thunder in it.
"It won't be worse than marrying Xue Kuang."
"Jin Xi..."
"Four years is enough."
When Lu Jinxi heard this, he laughed heartily. He only thought that Gu Juefei was extremely interesting, and he had to compete with Xue Kuang in everything.
Gu Juefei said: "Don't believe it?"
Lu Jinxi shook her head: "No, I believe it."
It has always been difficult for civil officials to compete with generals.
If there is anyone in the current court and opposition who has the ability to match Xue Kuang's record of official worship at the time, it is Gu Juefei.
How could she not believe it?
He has the ability, ambition, background, and even the trust of the emperor...
If he can't do it, no one in the world can do it.
It's just that Lu Jinxi at this moment didn't expect that Gu Juefei actually fulfilled his promise at a speed that shocked the world, and it didn't even take four years-
He only took three and a half years.
