I was Idle and Cool Chapter 23: Children with intellectual disabilities

Twilight is twilight.

On the streets of the capital, there are few pedestrians, all of them rushing to their homes.

Pan Quan'er left Huishengtang, got on the horse, and ran all the way back to the General's Mansion.

The old lady replied, seeing that the weather was fine, the second grandmother was walking in a small garden not far away and asked if she wanted to help him deliver things.

Usually Pan Quan'er must have agreed, but this time, she only thanked her mother-in-law for her kindness.

So the news was reported to the egret.

At this moment, Lu Jinxi is holding the hand stove, standing in the garden pavilion, looking at the bare lake in front of him, and the sparse flowers and trees around him, but it is too monotonous.

The egret heard the old lady's story and came up to tell her: "Wang Fu's family said that Pan Quan'er has done the work. He just got the thing and wanted to show it to you. Now he is waiting outside the garden."

As soon as Lu Jinxi heard this, she stood on the side of the gazebo.

She raised her thin brows slightly, her eyes flashed a bit of divine light, and she laughed: "It's hard for him to have a heart, ask him to come and talk to him."

"Yes."

The egret then told the woman to let him in.

Today's Pan Quan'er is still wearing the half-new cyan straight stitching, bending slightly, holding the brocade box brought back from Huishengtang in her arms, going up to the steps of the pavilion, and bowing below to salute.

"Little Pan Quan'er, please say goodbye to the second grandma."

"Get up."

Lu Jinxi stood on the top of the steps, just like the way he stood at the entrance of the Jokhang Temple, and there was a refined indifference in his composure.

"You got everything?"

"Fortunately not humiliated."

Pan Quan'er didn't talk nonsense, and raised the brocade box with both hands.

Lu Jinxi nodded.

The egret took the brocade box up with a wink, opened it, and let Lu Jinxi take a look.

The doctor's order was placed on top, and Lu Jinxi picked it up and took a look, then looked into the brocade box.

A few newly made plasters, a few pairs of medicines that need to be decocted, and a special prescription for foot soaking, with a small line at the back: "The medicines are expensive, and I will make them myself!"

Lu Jinxi burst into laughter.

Gui Shou Zhang really has the temperament of an old urchin, but he also has the kindness and kindness of the world. It is not an exaggeration to say that he has the heart of a child.

You can match yourself.

Go back and transcribe the prescription and give it directly to the Taishifu.

She folded the prescription, put it back in the brocade box, and said to Pan Quan'er, "This errand can be regarded as a half-life revival. You have worked hard these past few days, and I have seen it all. I'll go to the East Court in a while and lead the way. The monthly bill for the last three months should be used as a reward."

"Thank you for the second grandma!" Pan Quan'er immediately smiled happily, as if she had picked up a bag of silver on the ground, "I will do my best to serve the second grandma in the future."

Actually, Lu Jinxi's heart is clear.

The brocade box could have been handed over to the wives, but he broke the rules and walked by himself, just to get familiar with her.

Sometimes, when things are done, you have to know how to show your credit.

If you don't say anything, you are a fool in the workplace.

Of course the boss thinks you are good, but the one who climbs high is always the one who does and speaks beautifully.

Lu Jinxi came here step by step, and she used Pan Quan'er's method before, so she didn't reject him. Instead, she felt that he was a good person, and his face was much kinder.

"There's no need to look back. There's an errand you can do right now."

Pan Quan'er was stunned.

Lu Jinxi pointed to the lake in front of the pavilion: "After a while, you go to get the right card, find a few gardeners, and clean up the garden. You need to plant some green lotus in the lake, and the surrounding area is also different. Too shabby. Things are the same as Huishengtang this time, you know?"

This is another pie in the head.

Compared to the previous Huishengtang.

Previously, Pan Quan'er only thought that the second grandmother was weighing his weight, but now she arranges things for him, which is obviously to flatter him.

At the moment, Pan Quan'er knelt down and kowtowed: "Little grandmother Xie is rewarding her work."

"There's nothing to be rewarded, it's all what you can earn."

Lu Jinxi waved her hand and motioned for Pan Quan'er to get up, but she didn't plan to say anything more, she just said, "You are tired after being busy these few days. If you have nothing to do today, go back and rest first."

"The little one left first."

Pan Quan'er's heart was pounding, and he only felt that the second grandmother's sentence "you earned it all" really had a strange taste that made him boil.

He stepped back respectfully, while Lu Jinxi stood on the gazebo and looked ahead.

As soon as the egret saw the person leaving, he finally touched his chest with relief, with a fluke appearance: "It's done, the slave almost thought that he would not be able to catch up. Tomorrow is the birthday banquet of the Taishifu, let's celebrate this birthday gift. , but it is really time to prepare."

"The ghost hand will practice every word, but it's just a little annoying..." Lu Jinxi squinted and smiled, glanced at the brocade box, and she was in a good mood, "Let's go back too. It's almost time to pass the meal. It's time, go back to the house and see if there is anything else."

"Yes."

Under the pavilion, there is a garden path paved with cobblestones. The surface of the stone has been stepped on a little smooth. In the distance, you can see the Chashou veranda at the end of the garden.

Lu Jinxi went down the steps, went up the garden path, and then went to the porch.

But before she got close, she suddenly made a "huh", looked ahead, and stopped.

On the left side of the veranda, a slender woman walked up.

Weared in black and gold, with a thin waist and a graceful figure, wearing only a simple round bun on her head and plain white jade round bead earrings hanging on her ears.

Too far away, Lu Jinxi couldn't see the other's facial features clearly, but only vaguely felt that she was beautiful and graceful.

She has never seen or recognized this person.

However, the egret also stopped, a little surprised: "It's actually a big grandma."

Lu Jinxi was stunned for a moment: Her sister-in-law, the He family?

Xue's family has a small number of people in the house, and the concubines and concubines are counted together, and there are five in total.

The uncle Xue Leng, the second master Xue Kuang, the third master Xue Rin, the fourth master Xue Zhun, and the youngest girl Xue Dai.

Xue Leng, Xue Kuang and Xue Rin, all three of them are the direct descendants of the wife Sun.

Xue Leng and Xue Kuang are both very talented. They had already followed their father to fight with their father at a young age and made great achievements, but because of the frequent wars, they could not escape the fate of being wrapped in horse leather.

The two died young.

The remaining third master, Xue Rin, seemed mediocre.

Perhaps it was the luck of the Xue family, all of which were concentrated on his two brothers.

Even if she married Wei Xian, the daughter of Grand Master Wei, she is now twenty-six years old, but with the shadow of her family, she has found a position in the sixth-grade cavalry school in Beijing.

Lu Jinxi actually wondered: Wei Xian, such a noble daughter from a noble family, who is not good for marrying, why did he choose Xue Rin?

As for the fourth master, Xue Zhun, it was the concubine of the master Xue Yuan's concubine Zhou.

Little girl Xue Dai, Lu Jinxi's younger sister-in-law, also just got married, and heard that she was about to talk about marriage.

According to a detailed count, the current situation of Xue's family room is indeed not very good.

If Lu Jinxi remembered the flower correctly, this eldest sister-in-law, Mrs. He, was originally the real daughter-in-law of the family.

It's just that Xue Leng left early. She only has a young daughter, Xue Mingzhu, under her knees, and she has no direct son. In addition, Xue Kuang's achievements and status have been rising steadily. He has already surpassed his older brother by a large margin and married Lu Jinxi. Therefore, his wife Sun, naturally, there is no reason to hand over the central feed to the He family.

I heard that this widow's sister-in-law, since she was a widow, closed the door and guarded Xue Mingzhu to live her life. The outside affairs were almost ignored.

I didn't expect to see it here.

Lu Jin thought for a while, then said, "Let's go up and say hello."

Speaking, he stepped forward.

Unexpectedly, just when she had just walked two steps, the other party saw her, and in those quiet eyes, there was something that Lu Jinxi couldn't understand.

He Shi was standing under the corridor, and when she saw Lu Jinxi walking towards this side, she only nodded to Lu Jinxi from a distance, then continued to follow the hand-handling corridor and walked to the other end.

"This..."

When the egret saw it, he didn't know what to say. After a long time, he finally reacted and said dissatisfiedly: "She looks like she doesn't want to see us. We don't want to see her yet!"

Lu Jinxi did not speak.

She was still thinking about the look He Shi had just looked at. There was a bit of injustice in her grief, and maybe she was unhappy.

Lu's husband also died.

But she was lucky and had a posthumous child like Xue Chi. Therefore, it is justifiable to continue to be in charge of the central feeder at home, and there will be a close support in the future.

Obviously I have the same experience, but I am the unlucky one.

She was the He family, and seeing the Lu family should be a little weird, right?

When Lu Jinxi thought about it, she didn't care about the other party's perfunctory, she just said casually: "She is the eldest sister-in-law, so there is nothing rude. It's fine if you don't say hello, you don't have to think about how to speak."

The egret naturally disagrees with this.

She followed Lu Jinxi's footsteps and only muttered: "Grandma is locked at home all day long. In the past, our sister Li and sister Lang went to her place to play with sister Zhu, but she didn't allow her, I was afraid we would The elder sister has damaged Sister Pearl."

"What do you say?"

Lu Jinxi frowned.

Egret pouted and said, "Because our sister has a study, and she doesn't just read "Nv Jie" and "Nv Xun", and Sister Lang is not so demure, she runs around. At that time, the slaves heard what she said, and she didn't feel in her heart. Very comfortable."

It turned out to be an old grudge.

Lu Jinxi roughly understood the situation of this widowed sister-in-law. She was afraid that she would set up a memorial archway, for fear that Sister Pearl would not be able to marry in the future, right?

She didn't agree with her in her heart, but she didn't express her opinion. She took the egret's hand and walked slowly away.

As soon as I entered the gate of the East Courtyard, Qingque greeted you: "You just came back, my sisters and brothers are all in the room, waiting to greet you. The servants are thinking that if you don't want to come back, please ask them to come back first. ."

Recently, Lu Jinxi helped the children do the math. It was too early to say goodbye in the morning.

Those who went to bed late couldn't even make it through the whole night. In addition, it was cold in the morning, so she avoided their morning greetings, and only asked them to come once a day, all at dusk.

After hearing Qing Que's words, Lu Jinxi didn't stop and walked inside, but she remembered that she was busy a few days ago and never had time to spend time with the children.

Today they came to say goodbye, but they had some spare time to talk.

But there are so many people that it is not convenient to ask some questions.

Lu Jinxi walked in front of the door for a while, and only ordered: "Go to the show, and set up a meal outside. I'll leave the children to have a meal together."

Qingque nodded, understood what she meant, and went to inform the small kitchen to add a few dishes that my brother and sister liked.

Lu Jinxi went directly into the house.

"Greetings to mother."

Several young children were there, and they all said goodbye to Lu Jinxi.

Lu Jinxi glanced over.

Xue Mingli's flower-sprinkled daisies are paired with a stretch ink skirt, and she is peaceful and demure.

Xue Minglang is also wearing a white velvet jacket and a light emerald crepe dress with flowers and flowers. Compared with the way he wore red boots that day, he is much more obedient. It's just that she still bowed her head, and although she saluted, she buried her head very low.

The injuries that Xue Chi and Luo Dingfang inflicted on when they were fighting were already healed.

At this moment, a small face, clean, pink and jade carving, the heroic spirit in the eyebrows is more prominent, and both eyes are shining.

What surprised Lu Jinxi was...

Xue Tingzhi is also there.

Compared to the three young men, he looks quite young.

Standing up is taller than Lu Jinxi, and looks much more mature.

A simple white robe embroidered with wishful cloud patterns, and an embroidered belt of the same color, is neatly arranged from top to bottom.

The bridge of the nose is high and the lips are thin.

The contours between the eyebrows are very deep.

Compared to Xue Chilai, Xue Tingzhi's body was not so heavy.

He is sharp from the bottom of his heart.

Lu Jinxi glanced at him.

I didn't realize it when I saw it alone, but now that he and Xue Chi were standing side by side, she realized that the two children didn't look alike at all.

Maybe Xue Chi looks like her, or Xue Kuang, but Xue Tingzhi looks like that Orchid?

However, the beauty of that Orchid must be earth-shattering.

With such an unrelated thought in my mind, Lu Jinxi walked over and told them all to get up: "I just passed Mrs. Shizi, and seeing that the weather is not so cold, I went out for a walk for a while. I forgot about you both. It's time to greet you. Didn't you wait too long?"

The kang is warm and the tea cups are new.

Lu Jinxi sat down, while Egret put the brocade box given by the ghost hand on the high table next to him, and stood beside Lu Jinxi.

Xue Tingzhi didn't say anything, just glanced at the brocade box, his eyes stayed on the bronze lock unique to Huishengtang for a moment, and then retracted.

"When I got back to my mother, I didn't wait too long, and I just came."

Xue Mingli is the eldest sister. After sitting down, she replied softly.

Xue Chi looked at Lu Jinxi with anticipation, and Baba asked, "Have you seen Mrs. Shizi? Did she say when Dingfang will go to school? I'm going to die of boredom by myself."

In the last fight, Xue Chi was very happy when he heard that Luo Dingfang was not punished, and the adults of the two families were not held accountable.

Since I went back to Xuezhai to go to school, I have been thinking about Luo Dingfang.

Hearing Lu Jinxi mentioning Mrs. Shizi, she couldn't hold back.

Lu Jinxi was helpless: "You've asked about 800 times these days. Mrs. Shizi said that the second son's injury is almost healed. Do you still need to worry about Dr. Zhang's medical skills? You can go in about two days. Xue Zhai. You didn't mess around in Xue Zhai for the past two days, did you?"

"No."

Even if there is, I won't say it.

Xue Chi is a clever ghost. Knowing that Luo Dingfang will be coming to study in the next few days, he smiled happily, but instead said to Lu Jinxi with a bit of flattery: "Mom, you are very busy these days, I will show you your homework tomorrow. Look. Mr. compliments me too!"

“…”

Really?

Why do you think this is not very credible?

Lu Jinxi glanced at him.

Xue Mingli sat aside and pursed her lips, showing a little smile.

Xue Minglang unceremoniously gave his brother a roll of eyes: "It's an old trick again!"

Xue Chi suddenly wilted like a deflated ball.

He snorted softly: "Second sister, you are so fierce, no one will marry you in the future!"

"That's all for the future." Xue Minglang wasn't even annoyed, and squinted at him, "It's better than some people going back and writing hard tonight!"

Xue Chi was dismantled, and his hair exploded at once, jumping up and saying: "You can't marry!"

"You go back to your homework!"

Xue Minglang was so patient that he put down the tea cup and poked it back.

"You can't get married!"

"You go back to your homework!"

……

You come and go, but you're pinched in this room.

Xue Mingli looked left and right, her head was big for a while, and both sides persuaded: "It's okay, it's just a momentary anger, stop arguing..."

"You can't get married!"

"You go back to your homework!"

……

The magic sound pierces the ear as usual.

Lu Jinxi looked at Sister Lang and Brother Chi who were about to fight, and Sister Li who was caught in the middle. For a while, she had the illusion that she had entered a kindergarten for the mentally handicapped.

She didn't say anything, she just watched.

Three sisters and brothers, although they are noisy, they look harmonious.

Siblings scold each other and know each other's faults and little secrets very well. It can be seen that the relationship is very close on weekdays, but they are mixed together.

Xue Tingzhi was also watching, not making a sound.

The house was noisy, but it was very lively.

Lu Jinxi listened to it for a while, and has already written down some little secrets of Sister Lang and Brother Chi. Now, when I look at Sister Li, I think this is a smart one.

And things are old.

Don't intervene, in front of the eldest sister, and don't have to be dismantled by the other two to reveal the secret.

She thought, then smiled.

Xue Tingzhi looked back at her and felt that she was in a good mood, something flashed in the bottom of her eyes, and said slowly, "Mother...don't you persuade?"

"It's good to be arguing like that, but it's a family that makes a fuss."

As soon as the words came out, Lu Jinxi paused.

That's not quite right.

Because Xue Tingzhi looks like an outsider.

He's just sitting here.

Lu Jinxi put down the tea cup and said apologetically, "I said unintentionally, don't take it to your heart."

Actually, Xue Tingzhi never considered himself a "family member".

He shook his head: "You're right. Noisy is a family, and that's fine."

He just sits there, respectfully purifying.

Lu Jinxi didn't know what to say to him for a while. He only thought of his recipe, but he didn't thank him, let alone ask.

After a while, the blue sparrow, who had just gone out, came back.

"Madam, the food is ready."

Lu Jinxi nodded. Seeing that they were arguing on their tails, he got up and said, "Okay, stop arguing, you should be exhausted after talking about this call. It happened that I was passing food here, so they all stayed for a meal. Well."

"I don't..."

Xue Minglang glared at Xue Chi and blurted out "I don't want to eat with him".

Xue Mingli, who was next to her, hurriedly pulled her sleeve, and then she stifled her words again, and simply stopped talking.

Children quarrel, all arguing to the point of anger.

You'll be fine soon.

Of course Lu Jinxi understood this truth, but he took them outside as if he didn't hear it.

Only Xue Tingzhi, hesitant, stood still.

Lu Jinxi stopped and looked back at him: "What's wrong?"

"If I go back to my mother, the court has already prepared meals, and I will go back to feed the horses later."

Xue Tingzhi lowered his hands, and the narrow peach blossom eyes drooped, it was a low silence, with only a slight smile.

"I'm afraid I won't be able to accept my mother's kindness today..."

Actually, Lu Jinxi also thought it would be strange to have dinner with him.

After all, he is not Lu's child.

So after hearing this sentence, Lu Jinxi was noncommittal and said, "Since you have something to do, let's go to another day."

"Yes." Xue Tingzhi bowed, "That Tingzhi will come back another day to greet my mother."

"It doesn't matter."

Lu Jinxi stood there, watching him leave.

I don't know if it's a psychological reason, but looking at his back, his footsteps are a little staggering, he goes out alone, and he doesn't bring anyone with him, so he feels a little lonely.

Lu Jinxi frowned, and the little maid next to her said, "You go out to see the eldest son, it's dark outside, so make a lantern."

The little maid was immediately surprised, obviously feeling that Lu Jinxi's order was beyond her expectations.

It's just that she didn't dare to say more, she quickly responded and chased out.

Lu Jinxi didn't know why Xue Tingzhi didn't stay for dinner.

Maybe something really happened, maybe it's not a good idea to stay.

The possibility of the latter is quite high.

So she didn't go any further and went to eat with the children.

Sister Lang and Brother Chi are both picky eaters, but they are both at the age of growing bodies. Except for a few dishes that were left untouched, they used a lot.

Wait until it was dark, the meal was done, and the tea was drank, and then she had someone send them back one by one.

Nothing to do at night.

Tomorrow, I will leave for Gu Taishi's mansion to pray for the birthday of the old Taishi Gu, who will shake the whole officialdom by stomping his feet, so Lu Jinxi didn't read the books or books, and took a break early.

The next morning, she got up and went to Sun's house, planning to save her wife and set off.
