I was Idle and Cool Chapter 34: Gifts and gifts

It was a low, low whisper, almost only Lu Jinxi could hear it.

Only she can understand the meaning: the same kind can always smell a little bit of each other. However, sometimes I have no feeling, and I also see whether the Taoism is deep or not...

The eyebrows were slightly raised, but Lu Jinxi's eyes did not move from downstairs.

At this time, Gu Juefei had restrained all the fluctuations in his heart, and hid his anger and questioning in the deepest part of his heart, and only bowed and bowed peacefully.

"Unfilial son Juefei, please pay attention to my father."

Large sleeved robe, raised as his arms rise.

Hands folded in front of him is a gift that can't be faulted in the slightest.

Gu Chengqian sat in front of him and received the ceremony.

Being so close, he could see his clearly mature silhouette, if one were to say that he was still a little juvenile back then. Now, this greenness has faded away.

The current Gu Juefei is an arrogant man.

He is more restrained and warmer than before.

Gu Chengqian had taught him for more than ten years. Before that six years, he had been his father for twenty-three years and knew almost everything about him.

So he felt this change almost immediately.

But at the same time, what came to his mind was the last meeting...

It was also the last time we met in those twenty-three years.

That night, the old man died.

It was pouring rain in the sky. Because he received an urgent matter in the palace to deal with, he could not go back in time to see the old man for the last time.

When he came back, the old man's body was already cold.

At that time, Gu Juefei knelt in front of the old man's bed and didn't give him half a salute, but only asked him what he was doing in the palace...

All the ruptures started from that sentence.

Gu Chengqian still can't forget the chill on Gu Juefei's body, the frost on his face, and the anti-anger in his eyes that almost engulfed him...

Perhaps, there is still disappointment?

It's just that all of this is invisible to Gu Juefei in front of him.

It seems like the breakup six years ago never happened.

He is still the Gu Juefei who is full of admiration for his father.

Gu Chengqian vaguely felt some wet marks on the bottom of his eyes, he could only blink, and there was an unspeakable complex meaning in his smile, and he only choked up: "Just come back, hurry up and sit at the table."

Everyone only said that the father and son had a strong relationship, but they said little.

Everyone can see that, after six years of not seeing each other, there should be a lot more between father and son, so they didn't speak, let alone express any opinion on their simple communication.

Gu Juefei got up after hearing the words.

There was a servant on the side, and he hurriedly put a chair next to Gu Taishi's long desk - this was the rule of the Taishi's mansion in the past, and Gu Juefei was in such a position.

Vaguely, it's still the same feeling back then.

Gu Juefei sat down silently, beside Gu Chengqian, and naturally someone added cups and plates.

Princess Yongning glanced at the father and son, and of course saw the undercurrent that was surging silently...

It's just that she's an outsider, so what can she say?

At the moment, seeing the atmosphere in the Shadow Bamboo Building, it seemed a little embarrassing, Eldest Princess Yong Ning directly put up her sleeves and laughed: "Today is considered a double happiness, everyone, don't be stunned. The ones on the stage don’t sing yet, are you planning to not want today’s reward?”

As soon as the troupe on the stage heard it, they immediately knew that they had hit the jackpot!

Isn't it a happy event that the legendary eldest son of the Grand Master's Mansion has returned?

Listening to what the eldest princess said, I will definitely seal a big red envelope in a while!

All of a sudden, everyone was overjoyed and thanked them for their graces, so they hurriedly resumed the scene that had just ended.

"Dang bang bang bang..."

In the blink of an eye, the gongs and drums sounded in unison, and the flute began again.

The castanets are a little more vigorous than before. When the "Jingyanggang" was released, it was actually very lively and lively!

Gu Chengqian drank a glass of wine, and the cup was empty.

There is a jug beside it.

Gu Juefei picked it up, pressing the lid of the jug with his long fingers, and slowly filled the jug by seven points before putting the jug aside.

At that moment, Gu Chengqian almost burst into tears.

He stared at this glass of wine, and the father-son relationship for 23 years flowed from the bottom of his heart, making him unable to speak...

He didn't know what was being sung on stage.

He just heard the voice in his heart: as long as he repents, as long as he is willing to repent, he has all kinds of mistakes, and he is willing to forgive.

Stretching out his hand, he held the glass of wine tremblingly, but he still drank it.

The Princess Yongning next to her sighed slightly.

At the same time, his scrutiny eyes also fell on Gu Juefei: What has he become in the past six years? Don't worry, you'll find out soon.

Thinking of this, Princess Yongning pondered the situation in the court in recent days, and returned to the slightly drunk state, laziness.

Upstairs, Lu Jinxi's gaze has gone back and forth between the three people many times.

The more I look at it, the more interesting I find it.

The details one by one, put together, seem to be thousands of times more exciting than the "Jingyanggang" on stage!

There are already a lot of people below, running over and taking the opportunity to pray for the old lady Gu's birthday, and also respect Gu Juefei.

In such a short period of time, there have been three rounds of work.

It seems that as soon as Gu Juefei appeared, the center of the entire Shadow Bamboo Building had already shifted slightly: from the old master Gu, moved a little towards Gu Juefei...

Although this trend is not very obvious, it becomes very meaningful in Lu Jinxi's eyes.

She sees a lot.

First, there is a deep gap between father and son;

Second, Mrs. Gu's heart doesn't seem to be particularly hard. She didn't know about Zaizhang, but she was soft on Gu Juefei's son;

Third, Princess Yongning is unfathomable, she knows, I'm afraid it can't be described as "a lot";

Fourth, when it comes to "deceiving people", that is, "managing contacts", Gu Juefei is a monster.

His fingers were still on his forehead, Lu Jinxi tilted his head and looked down, the smile on his lips deepened a lot.

At this time, of course, some people came up to toast Tang Shi: "The eldest son is back, congratulations to Mrs. Taishi, and see how happy Mrs. Taishi is."

Tang's complexion was a little unbearable.

Gu Juefei is not her own, and has nothing to do with her from beginning to end, not to mention the two sons and one daughter under her knees, who live in the shadow of this "eldest brother" almost all the time!

Even if Gu Juefei's younger brother, Gu Yijian, even if he became a Juren at the age of 23, he was about to take part in the examination, and he was still very good.

But what?

Everyone who mentions him is "brother-like"!

As long as you can't get past Gu Juefei, you will live in his shadow!

How difficult is it to get past Gu Juefei?

Tang's heart was full of bitterness.

Seeing this lady who came up to compliment, but couldn't open the pot, she had the urge to throw a glass of wine on her face!

But, in the end, I still endured it.

Tang Shi laughed dryly: "Yes, as long as the Taishi is happy."

After speaking, I also took a drink.

The lady asked about the situation again, but Tang Shi only said "about the marriage, presumably the grand master will have an idea" and dismissed the person.

Lu Jinxi, who was next to him, had already listened.

She understands this Tang family. Seeing that her face is a little bit drunk, she smiles: "You seem to be incapable of drinking, so drink less."

Tang didn't expect that Lu Jinxi would take the initiative to talk to him.

Slightly startled.

But in the blink of an eye, she understood what Lu Jinxi meant, and she even remembered the famous incident in the capital at that time——

Isn't the general's wife also raised a child who is not her own?

And a concubine.

This is barely considered "sympathy".

Tang Shi sighed in her heart, and suddenly felt that Lu Jinxi's personality and personality were more likable than her appearance.

She smiled slowly: "Really? Is it me that looks a little over the top?"

"There are some."

Lu Jinxi's voice is soft and her eyes are soft.

"Drinking hurts your health. You'd better drink less. Ask the maid to help you go out and blow the air. You'll be hosting a dinner party later."

"Also."

Tang raised his finger, pressed his forehead, and sighed softly, "You are right, I have to go get a hair dryer. Come on, give me a hand..."

Chunliu Qiuyu's two maids hurried over to help her.

Tang Shi said to everyone: "I'm also getting old, and I almost got drunk by you guys. Now I have to go to blow the air and drink two bowls of sober soup. I'm sorry for a while, and I want you to forgive me. ."

Those who were close to each other heard the conversation between Lu Jinxi and Tang Shi. None of them expressed any objection, and they all told Tang Shi to drink less.

Tang Shi then ordered the maids to wait on them well, and then went out.

Mr. Tu, who was beside Lu Jinxi, had already seen the whole story clearly, and couldn't help but say, "You have a kind heart..."

"It's not easy."

Lu Jinxi knew that Mr. Tu saw what happened just now.

When the eldest son came back, if Tang Shi hurriedly quit, even if she claimed that she was incapable of drinking, she would be caught in the words of others when she turned back, and she felt that there was something wrong with her stepmother.

But it's a lot easier if someone talks.

It's not that she wants to take a break, it's just that others can't stand it.

Think about the original Lu family.

Judging from Lu Jinxi's current vision, the eldest son of the Xue family is definitely not a mediocre person.

She wondered if the Lu family had paid attention to everything about Xue Tingzhi.

If it doesn't, that's fine, just assume that Xue Tingzhi doesn't exist.

But if there is, knowing that the child born by Hu Ji is so good, and can't find any shortcomings other than lameness, how will his mood be better than Tang's?

Lu Jin cherished this, and he was barely able to push himself.

She glanced back at Mrs Tu.

Mr. Tu laughed, only patted her palm on the armrest, and said slowly: "Relax, relax..."

Lu Jinxi laughed.

She doesn't need to relax at all, because her heart has never been narrowed: Lu's life is Lu's own. She was not involved and declined to comment. Now that she has put on her shell, she is still herself.

Nowadays, it's just a habitual release of kindness.

At the moment, Lu Jinxi didn't speak any more, and just watched the play quietly with Mrs. Tu.

Downstairs is staggered, and the fragrance floats upstairs.

I saw the sun slanting westward.

The shadows of bamboo outside the Shadow Bamboo Building cast on several open carved windows, and for a while it was as elegant as an ink painting on a scroll of a scholar.

The Tang family, who had just gone out to sober up earlier, just stepped back at this time and arranged for someone to line up for the dinner.

This is the last item of today's birthday banquet.

Lu Jinxi listened to the audience chatting for a long time in the morning, and watched the "good show" for a long time in the afternoon. Seeing that the last dinner party was lined up, she was relieved.

Before I didn't wear it, I was very busy with the company's listing plan; after I wore it, I was working hard while I was sick, so I had to **** up my ears to listen;

She is not used to a day like today where she has nothing to chat with all day long.

I feel like I'm getting hairy all over my body.

Because she had used a lot of refreshments in the afternoon, she didn't use her chopsticks much at the dinner party.

About two quarters after the meal, everyone will be almost there.

This time is just right.

It's not dark yet, it's time for everyone to go home.

The bureaucrats downstairs all smelled of alcohol. Maybe it was because Gu Juefei came back from the old lady's birthday banquet, so they were very happy.

Princess Yongning looked drunk and was supported;

The old lady said goodbye to everyone, followed by Gu Juefei;

As for Lu Jiuling, who said she wanted to meet after the banquet, she has disappeared now.

Lu Jinxi didn't see anyone when he left, so he sent someone to ask.

Unexpectedly, he replied, "For some reason, Mr. Lu is in high spirits today, and he drank happily. When he was about to leave for a while, he forced the second son to go and said that he wanted to teach him his homework. The second son was drinking too much. Not a lot, so the two of them went to the study together."

Lu Jinxi was in a cold sweat!

She almost instantly remembered Lu Jiuling's muttering: It's not too much...

Guide homework?

Don't point anywhere else.

And, at this age, don't drink anything.

I was worried and worried for a while, and there was a sense of helplessness.

She raised her hand and pressed her forehead, and politely said to the girl who sent the message: "I also ask you to go to the second son to pass the message, and said that I am waiting for Mr. Lu outside the door, and ask him to come early. Come out."

"Yes."

Naturally, the maid did not refuse.

Lu Jinxi glanced at it, and the people in the building were almost gone by now, and even Taishi Gu seemed to be sent back by Gu Juefei early because he drank too much.

She ended up at the end because she sent someone to inquire about the news.

Tang Shi had just sent off a group of people, and when he turned around to see her, he smiled: "Mrs. Duolao made a rescue today, I want to send you off in person."

"It's just that Mrs. is really good at drinking."

Lu Jinxi did not refuse, knowing that this was the goodwill of the host.

A wife of a current imperial master and a wife of a general, so they walked out of the round gate all the way.

At this point, Tang Shi stopped and watched Lu Jinxi leave.

The sunset is hidden in the yellow clouds.

Everywhere, in a daze.

Most of the chariots and horses have left, and only a few are still waiting at the door.

Lu Jinxi held Bailu's hand, and as soon as she walked out of the gate of Gu's residence, she saw a luxurious carriage with two horses parked in the middle.

She was in this car when she came this morning.

Princess Yongning.

The car is here...

What about that person?

Only when this thought popped into my head, Lu Jinxi heard laughter from behind: "In the end, you still have a conscience, and you know how to support Ben Gong..."

She shuddered and looked back.

The guard who came here has gone back early in the morning.

This time, Princess Yongning was drunk and enchanting, her eyes narrowed, and that noble hand was placed in the palm of a gentle and gentle young man in white. She swayed and walked out from the door of the mansion.

The young man in white, dressed as a scholar.

Wearing a square scarf on his head, but there is no sour smell, his face is like powdered powder, pure like a dot of red, a romantic attitude.

Hearing Princess Yongning's laughter, he also laughed: "Be careful, step down the steps."

"You can't stumble. Who dares to stumble on this palace?"

Princess Yongning was really drunk, and her voice was a little floating.

She went down step by step, and when she reached the last step, she realized that Lu Jinxi was standing below and saluted herself.

But the eyes seem a little weird?

Princess Yongning couldn't help laughing again: "I won't be carrying you on this journey tonight. Come back and have a seat in this palace when I'm free."

Let's take a closer look at the candidates.

The rest of the sentence was left unspoken.

But Lu Jinxi remembered what he said in the car this morning, and automatically understood, and replied, "Niece-niece, remember."

Then Princess Yongning nodded and walked past her.

The attendants gave her a low stool, and the young scholar in white helped her up, but Princess Yongning didn't let go, hooked her fingers, and pulled him in too.

"Da da..."

Afterwards, the sound of hoofs rang out, leaving dust all over the place.

Lu Jinxi was in the same place and almost didn't regain his senses. After a long time, he slowly tasted the taste of "I won't carry you tonight in this palace"...

"The taste is a bit mixed, and there are also tender grass..."

She couldn't help but mutter.

It was the first time that the egret and the green sparrow behind him had seen such a scene, and they were a little silly at the moment.

I couldn't hear Lu Jinxi's voice clearly: "What did you say?"

"It's nothing, ask someone to bring the carriage over. Let's wait here, wait for my father, I guess it will be delivered in a while."

Of course, Lu Jinxi didn't explain what he was reading, and only gave random instructions.

There are not many people on the long street.

The cool wind blows slowly as the twilight falls. In the corner, in the mess on the ground, a few stained pages of paper, blown up by the wind, will not fly.

In the study room in the main courtyard of the Grand Master's Mansion, the lamp has been lit, and the light is bright everywhere.

Gu Chengqian was supported and sat behind the desk, and the servants had already prepared a hangover soup and placed it in front of him.

He's getting older, and he can't stand drinking too much.

I looked up at the moment, Gu Juefei was standing in the swaying lamp shadow, and his figure became more and more tall, but he couldn't see his expression very clearly, and immediately said: "You sit. Everyone else goes out. , don't leave anyone alone in the yard."

"Yes."

The servants and servants all knew that this long-awaited father and son should have something to say, and they all silently backed out and closed the door.

The house was burning warmly.

Gu Juefei felt warm on her body, but she had no warmth in her heart.

His wine taste was also smoked up, his cheeks were a little red, and his eyes seemed to be dipped in nectar, and he just stared at Gu Taishi.

But did not sit down.

The house was extremely quiet.

On the window paper, there is the shadow of the begonia outside, showing a warm spring flavor.

Gu Juefei looked out, took a few glances, and then slowly retracted his gaze.

On Gu Chengqian's bookcase, the four treasures of the study should be neatly arranged one after another.

There is only one brocade box, half-open, with several folds of unused blank memorials, and a bronze lock in the shape of a star leaf in the sky hangs on it.

He didn't sit down.

Gu Chengqian saw it, but didn't ask him to sit again, just pushed the brocade box in front of him, his voice full of exhaustion: "The birthday gift from the General's House, don't you want to see it?"
