I was Idle and Cool Chapter 171: Go to the palace banquet again

Mr. Cai, Cai Xiu?

Lu Jinxi was wiping the sweat from Xue Chi's forehead, but when she heard this, she couldn't help but stop, a little surprised.

Of course she still remembers the so-called "tricks and tricks".

When Xue Kuang was still young when she was pestering her to tell the stories of Xue Kuang and Xue Kuang in Beijing, she perfunctory combined the plots from "Three Kingdoms" that were borrowed from the battle reports.

Cai Xiu, the military advisor, was undoubtedly led by Zhuge Kongming's character.

During that time, aside from his father, the person Xue Chi admired the most was this Mr. Cai, and even Fang Shaoxing had to stand aside.

To be honest, Lu Jinxi is also interested in this man.

During the three-and-a-half-year negotiation, this Mr. Cai had also returned to the capital and met Xue Chi, but she had no chance to meet him; soon after that, I heard Xue Chi say that he traveled around and left the capital It was not long before she remarried Gu Juefei.

After the remarriage, Lu Jinxi was no longer the wife of the General's Mansion, let alone Xue Kuang's widow, so the situation in the General's Mansion could be obtained from a few children.

As for Liu Jin and Cai Xiu...

That's because there is no chance to meet, let alone meet.

So at this moment, when Xue Chi mentioned Cai Xiu suddenly, she was still in a trance, but then she had a very strange feeling.

This Mr. Cai is very strange.

He stayed at the border gate before Yihe, but he returned to the capital at that time. After the relationship between the Daxia and Xiongnu stabilized, he left the capital and did not know where to go.

Now, the man is back.

Although I have no contact with Cai Xiu, and I have never even met face to face, Lu Jinxi always thinks that this person is very unusual, and even the timing of returning to the capital is intriguing.

The last time was when Daxia negotiated peace with the Huns;

This time, the relationship between Daxia and the Xiongnu is in a state of uncertainty, and variables can happen at any time.

"Mother, what's wrong?"

Xue Chi couldn't help but feel a little strange seeing her in a trance.

Lu Jinxi blinked and smiled, but did not answer, but said, "Even though you are practicing martial arts, you have to be careful, you are not afraid of catching a cold when you run over in such a cold weather! What did you say to him?"

"I didn't say anything, I just asked him where he went and what was going on outside." Xue Chi is smart now, but he has no scheming. He happily shared his conversation with Cai Xiu with Lu Jinxi. " Mr. Cai also asked about his mother, and also asked if his husband was treating me well, and what he taught me. After that, he said that he had something to talk about with Uncle Liu, and I would also come here to see you and my husband, so I said goodbye to them."

Have something to talk about?

A strategist who has been out of breath for many years because he has not fought for many years, what does he have to talk about with Xue Kuang's former team on the battlefield in the past?

Lu Jinxi frowned lightly, and once again felt something unusual.

It's just that Xue Chi was here right now, and she didn't have the time to find someone to investigate the matter. She only temporarily suppressed the doubts, took Xue Chi to sit down, and began to test his homework.

Although Gu Juefei has been busy these years, Xue Chi was really taught by him.

Famous teachers may not produce high-level apprentices, but the odds are high after all. Gu Juefei is undoubtedly a famous teacher, and Xue Chi is definitely a smart and motivated child, so even if there is not enough time for class, he will read and write by himself when he gets home.

The same is true today.

Last review, Jue Fei left a question for Xue Chi to think about, but this time he brought his answer and gave it to Lu Jinxi.

She doesn't really know much about the talent and learning strategies of these ancients, but she does have different experiences and views on things.

These often give Xue Chi a different way of thinking.

The mother and son sat by the window and chatted for a long time. Lu Jinxi also kept Xue Chi for lunch, and didn't send them away until the afternoon. Before leaving, he asked him to give himself yesterday to him and Sister Lang and Sister Li. I bought a few gifts to take back to the General's Mansion.

The next few days, as usual, didn't change much. If you insist that there is something different from before, maybe Lu Jinxi and Gu Juefei moved back to the main house, and the atmosphere of the Chinese New Year in Beijing is much better.

In addition, the palace banquet was given this year, so the preparation of Yi Ying is also indispensable.

The dignitaries in Beijing have their own guesses about the "happy event". The closer the new year is, the more lively Beijing is.

Gu Juefei is also not busy soon.

It seems that everything in the DPRK has been dealt with almost, but Meng Ji is still trying his best to quietly inquire about something related to Xue Tingzhi or the old lady, but there is no result for the time being.

The days leading up to the palace banquet were rare and leisurely.

Gu Juefei took off the court clothes he had been wearing and put on a new robe with dark patterns of bamboo leaves, and suddenly changed back to the elegant and noble son Lu Jinxi looked like when he first met him.

It's just that compared to the coldness at the beginning, he is already mature and gentle, and his aura is imposing.

He would teach Lu Jinxi to play chess and play chess with her; he would also play the piano for her and cook wine with her when it snowed at night; even the day before the palace banquet, he took her up to the Jokhang Temple and saw His senior brother, the abbot, the abbot, Master Jueyuan, also climbed the Xue Cui Ding, where he had lived for nearly six years, and rested for the night in a house where there was no sign of wealth and nobility.

I didn't leave until the morning of the palace banquet.

The streets in central Beijing have long been lit up with lanterns.

At first glance, the road is full of lively people, not only the people of Daxia, but also many caravans of foreign races stranded here.

Daxia's New Year is also new to them.

People from different places, in this prosperous capital, unleash their joy, even enjoyment.

Lu Jinxi watched from inside the curtain.

Looking at it, she couldn't help but look back at Gu Juefei, who was leaning on the pillow and closed her eyes. She remembered the sentence when he was drunk in front of her a long time ago, "Give me three years, I won't spend a With one soldier, the Xiongnu will be wiped out"...

"Gu Juefei, do you know when I started to like you?"

She blinked, then suddenly leaned over and tapped his eyebrows with her fingertips. The cool temperature caused him to frown slightly, so a small dent appeared.

But on Gu Juefei's face, it's too good-looking.

He heard the voice and opened his eyes, only to see her leaning against his side softly, with a sweet smile on his lips, and a pair of squinting eyes with moving waves.

So I couldn't help but laugh.

He stretched out his arms to embrace her, and let her rest on his chest. He rarely said seriously: "Isn't it the first time you saw me?"

Lu Jinxi couldn't help rolling her eyes, and she was speechless for a moment before saying, "I want to sleep with you at first."

"Oh, so you wanted to sleep with me at first sight?" When he said this, Gu Juefei returned to his serious appearance, as if they were talking about a serious topic, "It's my honor to say so. ."

“…”

Lu Jinxi looked at him and stopped talking.

Gu Juefei immediately changed his tune, but when he hadn't said the gags before, he leaned over and kissed her forehead, saying, "I know if you don't tell me when you started to like me."

She raised her eyebrows: "So confident?"

Gu Juefei smiled: "Yes."

When else could it be?

Lu Jinxi is a very defensive person, and the paint on his face may not be thinner than his. For her peers in painted skins, she could not take off her disguise, and it was impossible for anyone to walk into her heart in painted skins.

What really moved her must be the drunkenness.

Although...

That's a memory Gu Juefei doesn't want to experience again.

Too embarrassing.

It's just that when I think about it now and then, I really feel that speaking freely, expressing one's heart so directly, and explaining oneself so clearly, there is clearly a kind of incisive joy.

Gu Juefei sniffed the light fragrance in her hair, and her eyes were as deep as autumn water.

He whispered in her ear: "Actually, I also want to see what you look like when you are drunk..."

Lu Jinxi felt itchy, crispy ears.

She shrank her neck and glanced at him angrily, but finally didn't care about him, she just replied provocatively, "You have the ability to get me drunk", and then the car stopped, she took advantage of the opportunity to lift the curtain get off.

Gu Juefei didn't mind either, and followed behind.

The Grand Master's Mansion is in sight again.

Today's palace banquet is held in the evening, and all the princes, ministers and wives who have been given the banquet in Beijing need to rush in the afternoon.

Although the old lady teacher Gu Chengqian has been begging for a break, she has to enter the palace for a banquet.

After all, he is an old minister and Xiao Che's husband.

So when it was time to leave, two carriages set off from the Taishi Mansion. The old Taishi and Tang's car drove in front, and Gu Juefei and Lu Jinxi's car drove behind.

Gu Juefei put on the majestic court clothes again;

Lu Jinxi also solemnly put on makeup according to her taste, and put on the uniform that was given to her soon after.

The Grand Master's Mansion was very close to the palace, and it didn't take long for it to arrive in front of the palace gate.

Many ministers haven't gone in yet, and it is rare to take a little leisurely chat outside. In such a good day when thousands of households are happy, even the former political enemies have restrained the bad expressions on their faces, not to others and not to seek bad luck for themselves.

The whole scene is harmonious.

When the carriage of Gu Chengqian and Gu Juefei arrived, it attracted everyone's attention.

The old lady got out of the car and gathered a large group of old officials. Everyone went up to congratulate him on his successor, but Gu Juefei was indifferent. He didn't go over after he got off, and only extended his hand to Lu Jinxi who was still in the car.

He personally helped her down.

The relationship between the father and son of the Grand Master's Mansion and the fact that Gu Juefeiqiang asked Xiao Che to marry Lu Jinxi for him are the topics that people in Beijing are most interested in after dinner.

So when they saw Gu Juefei's actions, many people watched quietly.

Rao was already prepared in his heart, but when he saw this legendary woman again, many people still gasped in amazement.

She looks even more beautiful than three years ago. She has a very fair complexion, and she is as soft as a delicate flower. Gu Pan's expression is very moving, but the one that is condensed between her eyebrows is three points. Snow.

Not the peony in Luoyang, but the snow lotus on the peak.

The slender hand put a hand on Gu Juefei's hand, got out of the car, and stood beside him, they were a pair of people made in heaven.
