I was Idle and Cool Chapter 33: Gu Juefei is back
It's time to blink.
A bit of twilight has been added to the sky, the warm sun is hidden among the layers of clouds, and the blowing wind brings a little bit of coolness.
Wan Baochang, the chief steward of the Grand Master's Mansion, paced back and forth outside the mansion gate, only to feel that his heart was already waiting.
There is no new news from the Jokhang Temple.
Everyone in the capital knew that Gu Juefei had gone down the mountain, but now they were outside the gate of the mansion, and they didn't wait for anyone.
Is he going back or not?
Wan Bao often thought of it, and couldn't help but let out another long sigh.
He raised his eyes again and looked at the street in front of the door. He could almost overlap the scene he was about to see in his mind——
Empty streets in the afternoon with few pedestrians.
There is almost no sound, only the gentle Kunshan dialect that faintly came from the garden.
The nearby buildings are stacked on the horizon, turning into a dull shadow...
This time, it seems to be the same.
It's no different.
In addition to the street, there is one more horse and one person.
Wan Baochang has been disappointed too many times, so he has become accustomed to accepting the fact that "the eldest son hasn't come back", and is habitually turning his eyes away.
However...
One person, one horse? !
In my mind, lightning flashes in an instant!
After being disappointed for too long, the sudden hope almost didn't blow Wanbaochang unconscious!
He stopped his tendency to withdraw his gaze and turned his head, and hurriedly looked in that direction again, almost flashing his neck!
It's the same scene just now.
The long street is paved with few people.
The afternoon sun shines on the road, making the road white, and the rut marks left by the horses passing by on the long road become more and more conspicuous, showing a strange whiteness.
The dark blue figure just happened to be stepping on the rut on the side of the street, leading the horse to come.
This time, it was much closer than the previous glimpse.
Wan Baochang had already seen the facial features of the person who came. He opened his eyes and opened his mouth for a while, but he didn't know what to say.
The two hands, which had always been steady, also trembled.
"Big, big son!"
Finally shouted!
His voice became hoarse.
After being stunned for a long time, Wan Baochang couldn't help but flash a few tears in his old eyes, and quickly ordered a few servants who had been foolish at the door: "Hurry in and report to Taishi!"
After speaking, I hurriedly ran down the door steps.
At this time, Gu Juefei led the horse and happened to be in front of the steps.
His face was warm, and he couldn't see the slightest anger. When he saw Wan Baochang down, there was a three-point smile on his mouth: "You walk slowly, be careful you fall."
It's that familiar voice!
The clear and clear land is like spring water in the mountains, and like the elegant rhyme blown by a jade flute, it flows out so lightly, calmly and calmly.
When Wan Baochang heard this voice, he almost couldn't hold back his tears.
For many years in the mansion, although he was the big housekeeper, in truth, he was just a servant who ran errands with the master.
But the eldest son treats him with courtesy.
Sometimes I cough twice inadvertently, and I can receive the medicine he prepared the next day.
A day or two of concern may be faked.
But for ten or twenty years, who can pretend?
Even if it's fake, it becomes real.
Besides, he watched Gu Juefei grow up. He knew exactly what kind of person the eldest son was.
At first, he looked a little strange, after all, I haven't seen him in six years.
As soon as he opened his mouth, all the familiarity came to his mind!
Wan Baochang took a lot of effort to control himself, his eyes were a little wet, half crying and half laughing: "It's okay, it's okay. Your horse, let the old slave lead it."
As he spoke, he reached out and took the reins from Gu Juefei's hand.
However, at that very moment, the dark red blood stained on the reins stabbed into Wan Baochang's eyes like a knife.
"What's wrong with you?!"
Gu Juefei put the reins along.
The burning pain in the palm did not dissipate at all, but the blood from the wound was no longer flowing.
He smiled casually: "It's alright. The borrowed horse went crazy halfway, and it took a little effort. Where is the father at the moment?"
"In the garden, Yingzhulou is listening to a play. Today, the Master Taishi is looking forward to your return!"
When I say this, my heart is full of bitterness.
It's just that Wan Baochang didn't dare to say more. Seeing Gu Juefei stepping up the stairs, he quickly followed.
At the same time, he instructed the left and right: "What are you still doing? Didn't you see that the eldest son hurt his hand? Go and inform people and find some wound medicine!"
Several servants trembled immediately, and hurriedly ran into the mansion to prepare medicine.
The servant who was sent back by Wan Baochang to spread the news before, but now he doesn't know how far he has run away. When he meets someone in the road, he shouts: "The eldest son is back, the eldest son is back!"
The sound is over, and it boils.
Others were running in the mansion, like a moving gust of wind, and the news brought by the whole Taishi mansion was swept away, and it became lively and excited for a while.
The servant ran all the way, and went west through the round arch in the garden. He saw the Shadow Bamboo Building in the middle of the garden, so he shouted and ran over.
At this time, on the stage of Yingzhulou, the troupe just performed "Jingyanggang".
Wusheng pretending to be Wu Song makes a hard kung fu and a full-fledged singing voice.
As soon as the talent came on stage, they played several tricks, which attracted applause from the audience for a while.
Few people remember the "Yunyang Dharma Field" just now.
One is that most people don't know who ordered it, and the other is that they know that it was Taishi Gu who ordered it, so they wouldn't take it to heart.
Few people would associate this play with anything else.
Because of the incident six years ago, the court and the opposition knew so clearly that they couldn't even count a single hand.
It's just that Princess Yongning is just within a few miles of this one hand.
She sat beside Gu Taishi, with one hand resting on the carved armrest of Taishi's chair, slowly beating along with the rhythm of the gongs, drums, flutes and flutes on the stage.
The long, wide sleeved robe drooped down.
The crane held the cloud white jade wine cup, and was hung loosely by her fingers. Her eyes were slightly narrowed, but she was slightly drunk.
The whole person looks at it, lazy and luxurious.
"Wu Song" on stage just encountered a big bug.
The people in the audience watched intently.
Princess Yongning then turned her head, squinted her eyes, and looked at Taishi Gu next to her.
Everyone is changing cups, and a few people have come up to respect him before.
Master Gu drank two cups, and his taste was slightly higher. Now he sat in the seat and didn't move, just kept a little smile and looked forward.
How much is Princess Yongning familiar with Gu Chengqian?
It was almost at a glance that this old lady was actually distracted.
A few people around are all confidants.
Eldest Princess Yongning sighed and finally said to Gu Chengqian: "Old Master, why is this so hard?"
Hearing this, Gu Chengqian turned back slightly.
Because of the trance in his eyes, the light that was scattered in his eyes gathered again, looked back at Princess Yongning, and was silent for a while, before he felt a bitter taste in his mouth.
"I just saw it all of a sudden, I wanted to click on it, just take a look..."
When the playlist was handed over just now, he didn't even think about it.
It's just that for the past ten days, the news that Gu Jue has to come back has spread all over the city, so that he hasn't slept well for the past few nights.
When I was dreaming at midnight, I could hear the cavalry protruding from the battlefield and the sound of guns and knives.
Xue Kuang's young, blood-stained face seemed to be right in front of him, a pair of questioning, disappointed eyes staring straight at him.
As if to ask him for an answer, a fair one!
How can Gu Chengqian forget?
Don't say six years have passed, even sixteen or twenty-six years, he can't forget it!
Can't forget Gu Juefei's blood-stained hands, can't forget the monster after the painting was torn off, and can't forget the rainy night when father and son broke apart and everything fell apart...
That's why today, when he turned to the page of "Handan Dream", he couldn't help but circled "Yunyang Dharma Field".
The stage is a play.
The spectators under the stage are walking on the road of life.
He is also an outstanding and highly-ranked official. He also won battles.
Lu Sheng, who was on stage, was pardoned by the emperor, and he was assigned to the gate of **** to save Xiang Shang's head.
As an important official in the DPRK, he was helpless during the whole incident!
What stomp, Chao Gang Zhen?
He didn't know that he had such great ability.
The emperor is growing up.
My heart is also big.
He is no longer the weak young man who needs the help of gentlemen.
What he needs is a new minister with the same political views as him, so he chose Gu Juefei, and those who bound him in the old days were all thrown away by him.
Gu Chengqian closed his eyes, as if he wanted to use this to calm his mind.
In the wine cup in front of him, the fragrant nectar swayed, but he didn't drink it any more, only said: "There are three kinds of people in this world, the first is a sword, the second has a sharp blade, and the third is what? There are no swords, spears, swords and halberds, just flesh and blood. I thought he was the third type, but later I realized that he was wrong. Now, I don't know whether the trip to the mountain a few days ago was right. Still wrong..."
Princess Yongning has a complicated heart.
It's just that she grew up in the palace, and she was in the center of the situation, and she never had any thoughts of worrying about the country and the people. Although Gu Chengqian has no ability, in the battle of interests, she never loses.
At the moment, she just restrained her thoughts, drank the wine, and laughed: "The decision of the old lady, of course, is right."
Right?
Gu Chengqian shook his head and laughed. He didn't know if she thought it was good or bad.
The building is full of hustle and bustle, and the Kunshan accent is enthusiastic.
A cry of ecstasy finally came from far to near: "The eldest son is back! The eldest son is back!"
This sound, caught in the sound of gongs and drums, is not very obvious.
Listen, it just feels vague, even like an illusion.
But at this moment, the entire Shadow Bamboo Building, which was staggered just now, was quiet except for the actors on stage who didn't know what was going on!
Gu Chengqian was in a trance.
Princess Yongning's eyes lit up, she stood up at once, and waved her hand toward the stage: "All stop!"
In an instant, the castanets stopped, the drums stopped, the shengxiao broke...
As a result, that voice became real, and in the blink of an eye, it was outside the door of Yingzhulou.
"The eldest son is back!"
"Master Qi, the eldest son is back!"
The servant who passed the message had already run out of breath, but his face was red and his eyes were bright, and he ran directly to Gu Chengqian all the way.
Gu Chengqian did not speak.
Princess Yongning waved her sleeves and hurriedly asked, "I'm back? Have you seen someone? Where are you?"
"Go back, come back, just outside the door. Butler Wan will come first with the younger one, and report to the master. It is estimated that the eldest son will be here soon!"
The servant was almost out of breath, but tried to tell the story as clearly as possible.
Princess Yongning laughed for a moment.
There are countless people around, after hearing it clearly, they couldn't help but open their arms, and some even couldn't help laughing.
"The eldest son is back!"
"Haha, it was the eldest son's help to deal with the flood in the past!"
"I haven't seen him for six years, and I haven't returned to the post. I'm still worried that he's going to become a monk. Haha, he's finally back, and it really scares me!"
"Congratulations, Mrs."
“Congratulations to the old lady!”
"Congratulations to my teacher..."
A group of people quickly congratulated Gu Chengqian.
Gu Chengqian couldn't tell what he was feeling for a while, he clearly couldn't tell right from wrong, and even felt that Gu Juefei deserved a thousand cuts, but at this time, he couldn't help showing a smile on his face.
He stood up, and repeatedly bowed his hands to the many colleagues present: "Thank you, thank you..."
Downstairs is an unprecedented lively scene.
Although it wasn't so exaggerated upstairs, some of the younger official ladies on both sides also showed a look of surprise, and many even began to whisper, and even more, secretly screamed.
Even some people in their 20s and 30s who have been married have a vague excitement on their faces.
The chattering voice drowned the entire second floor at once.
Lu Jinxi was holding a glass of Jiangnan Fengtuan's tongue and teeth tea in his hand. When he glanced over, he saw that some people were already looking down curiously, and some were sitting in the same position with restraint, but their faces were full of tears. A shy look...
Thinking about it, I thought of the rumored Gu Juefei.
Which boy is not affectionate, and which girl is not cherishing spring?
It's not illegal to be obsessed.
It's just...
She heard the high praise of the bureaucrats below, and saw the expectations of the coquettish guests above, but her heart did not fluctuate: How can anyone in the world be so perfect?
Seeing this scene, she just felt too empty and too much.
For a while, Lu Jinxi felt a strange sense of being out of the way.
She took a look around, but she finally retracted her gaze and put the tea cup back on the table.
One hand lit the delicate picture of the pine crane on the tea cup, one elbow rested on the armrest of the chair, and the fingers supported the edge of the forehead.
The play stopped, and without the excitement of the lively energy, sleepiness came slowly.
Lu Jinxi covered her lips and yawned cautiously, only tilting her head, waiting for the "appearance" of that young master Gu.
The crowd didn't wait long.
About half a minute later, the servants who were watching from outside quickly ran in and said, "Master, the eldest son is outside!"
The downstairs was suddenly excited, and even some people who were seated outside, simply greeted them and stood outside the door to watch.
Upstairs, there was a low voice of exclamation.
I don't know who was the first to stick his head out of the window outside, and then he shouted in surprise: "It's really here! Look!"
Xie Taoling was originally reserved and conceited.
Can't stand it. Recently, parents have always talked about Gu Juefei before getting married. She also felt that with her appearance and background, Gu Juefei in the whole capital could catch her eye.
Now her future husband is likely to be down there, how could she hold back?
With only a moment of hesitation, Xie Taoling sat outside the window and looked out: at first, he could only see a dark blue figure on the long corridor.
The aura of the body, Ang Zang hides elegance, and there is a bit of calmness in the elegance, which is even taller and straighter than this piece of green bamboo planted around the Shadow Bamboo Building.
Before she saw her face, Xie Taoling's heart was already half shriveled, and she bumped up like a deer, causing her cheeks to blush.
But she's completely out of control.
When the figure approached and a face was slowly revealed, Xie Taoling suddenly couldn't hear any sound...
Downstairs, the literati and bureaucrats who had been waiting for a long time went up to greet each other immediately, but she couldn't hear;
Upstairs, she couldn't hear the faintly excited voices of the other officials and young ladies around her.
Only that drum-like heartbeat was still pounding in her chest...
Lu Jinxi, who was sitting in the middle, could not see below.
She could only hear a suppressed joyful exclamation by the window, and then the door of the Yingzhulou Building became lively.
"It can be considered as seeing the eldest son again, can you be fine if you don't come?"
"Lao Li is concerned and feels that Feifei is safe and sound."
"I haven't seen you for six years. Brother Gu looks even better than before!"
"Mr. Chang's demeanor is still the same as before."
"Let's go first, haha, I almost thought you were going to be a monk..."
"I don't dare to worry about my family. For the past six years, Lao Tingmu has also been worried about it."
……
One after another, each one is more excited and excited.
Listen, it looks like Li Wenlang, Minister of Industry, Chang Jianzhi, the dean of Hangzhou Academy, and even Lu Ruliang, the current head of the Hanlin Academy...
The answer to their voices is a little bit guilty and a little moved, it seems to be because of the lack of news in the past six years, and it seems to be because of the sincere concern of friends...
When Lu Jinxi heard it, she only felt that this voice was indifferent and elegant, calm and calm, like a deep stream of still water, slowly flowing through her heart, taking away all the desolate distractions.
Vaguely, it is the reunion of the old people, the things are different...
Even, the years change.
She froze for a moment.
The following chat did not last long.
Everyone also knows that the Dao should be left out of the way, and this eldest son who has not returned home for six years should go first to pay homage to his elderly father.
So, Lu Jinxi finally saw it.
That figure.
Wide shoulders and narrow waist, slender and tall.
The brocade blue robe is inside, and the mysterious blue crane cloak is outside.
The silver embroidery thread left the embroidery pattern of auspicious clouds on the front and the collar of the cuff.
People walk in, like a tall and straight bamboo.
In a trance, he felt as if a bamboo shadow swayed in front of him, shattering the sky and falling on him.
Walking slowly, he crossed the aisle left in the hall and came to the silent Gu Chengqian.
Therefore, the face that had never been seen before was just right, facing them.
The long eyebrows are drawn in ink, and the temples are cut like a knife.
He has a straight nose and thin lips, but the corners of his lips have a slight curvature, which is not very obvious, but it immediately makes people feel a kind of ease, which reconciles the coldness and sharpness brought by his overly excellent facial features.
Incomparable coordination and perfection!
He's all over his body, every part is like a natural fit, and no place is abrupt.
But whether it's walking or standing, there is a kind of introverted warmth.
At first glance, he didn't even pay attention to his appearance first, but was infected and conquered by the bearing he showed.
He's like a natural fairy, but he's not alienating.
Others can clearly feel the gap between him and him, knowing that he is completely different from ordinary people, but on the contrary, they have a close heart and will not dare to approach.
No more, no less, no vines or branches.
No errors at all!
This degree is so accurate and wonderful!
At that moment, Lu Jinxi only felt that the tip of his finger resting on the edge of the tea cup trembled as if something had licked it.
An extremely indescribable feeling, along the fingertips, climbed into her heart.
Cooked.
This feeling is familiar to her!
Lu Jinxi narrowed her eyes slightly, her eyes glinting in the slits of her long and narrow eyes, and a faint smile hung on the corners of her opened lips.
I thought he was a seamless, elegant gentleman.
I never thought...
"The thousand-year-old demon, the Taoist is not shallow, and it's a good time to play Liao Zhai..."
