I was Idle and Cool Chapter 40: Remarriage object

Lu Jinxi's words were actually very vague.

But at that moment, the egret actually understood it. After a long while, a blush appeared on his face, and he said, "Yes, the servant will go to inform Pan Quan'er."

Lu Jinxi nodded, and the egret backed out.

She didn't plan to go out in the morning either.

There are things to be dealt with in the house every day, and now Lu Jinxi asked Qingque to bring in the maids and old ladies who were going to take care of things, and prepare everything properly, ready to wait for Pan Quan'er's news first, and then do the next step by step plan.

But he said that Pan Quan'er got up early in the morning and Ben was busy repairing the garden.

This is what Lu Jinxi explained the day before yesterday, and he attaches great importance to it.

Unexpectedly, before I could go out to find a gardener, a message came from the egret, saying that there were two important things for him. He listened, and felt a little confused——

This mansion is about to change?

The second grandmother, who never cared about the life and death of the eldest son, actually asked for a ghost hand for the eldest son?

Be nice.

Pan Quan'er pondered for a while, and vaguely felt that she was afraid that she would be more alert in the future: the second grandmother's attitude has changed, which is really hard to understand.

I gave myself a wake-up call, but Pan Quan'er didn't delay, and immediately went back to Shengtang.

On the long street, there are more pedestrians coming and going.

The voices of the peddler's pawns were put together in this morning with the morning mist still drifting, showing a kind of noise with smoke and fire.

In the Huisheng Hall, people seeking medical treatment and medicine have come.

Gu Juefei woke up listening to the voice of blindly reporting the name of the medicine, his eyes slowly opened a slit, and a little light shone on the slightly yellowed window paper and penetrated into his eyes.

The curtains are lifted outside.

Ji Wuwei came in with a copper basin filled with hot water, when he saw that he had opened his eyes, he was a little surprised: "You woke up, the mistress was calling me to see you, and wanted to wake you up for breakfast."

As he spoke, he put the copper basin on the wooden shelf beside him.

That night, Gu Juefei didn't actually sleep for a few hours.

The body is covered with a thick quilt, and it is still hot.

When he saw it, he regained his senses. He lifted the quilt and got up: "It's your job. I didn't take precautions last night, and I drank too much. It's rare that I didn't get thrown out by your master. I didn't wake up from the street this morning. I'm really grateful to Dade."

Ji Wuwei laughed when he heard this.

The virtues of their masters, they really couldn't be more clear.

"Master has the temperament of a child. However, there is always a mother-in-law around on weekdays, and you will not be thrown out even if you come back to Shengtang in the future."

After two sentences, Gu Juefei got up.

Because he didn't wear a loose crane cloak, his wide shoulders and narrow waist that were usually covered were exposed.

People stand in this room, slender and straight, with silver crowns in their hair, even if there are some wrinkles on the clothes, they feel that the room is full of radiance, like a jade tree.

Ji Wuwei was stunned when he saw it, and then slapped his forehead and remembered: "Oh, I almost forgot your robe. The lady just explained it, you wait..."

Before he finished speaking, and without waiting for Gu Juefei to respond, he hurried out again.

Gu Juefei looked at him and shook his head helplessly.

I drank a lot last night.

When I woke up in the morning, I only felt a heavy lump on the back of my head, and my temples jumped suddenly, as if a string was taut.

He couldn't help raising his hand and pressing it hard.

Thinking back to the past twenty-nine years, when I have rarely been so open-minded and indulgent, the layer of ridicule in my heart has become heavier.

The copper basin is placed in the corner, and a clean square is placed on the side.

Gu Juefei saw it as soon as he walked over, and then subconsciously pinched his sleeve, which was tattooed with dark silver bamboo leaves, and then reacted——

The robe is absent.

"Confused..."

He suddenly laughed, pondered for a moment, and looked over to the Ondol.

The snow-white scarf that was handed over last night is now neatly folded and placed next to the throw pillow.

It's because he didn't pay attention when he got up just now, didn't see it.

The feeling at that moment was suddenly a little complicated.

Lu Jinxi.

These three words appeared so clearly in his mind, reminding him of every word and every move he made under the setting sun yesterday evening.

A gentle smile.

A thoughtful demeanor.

Detailed words.

He was lost for a moment.

Fortunately, Ji Wuwei came in again at this time, this time holding the crane cloak that he had been splashed with the hangover soup yesterday, and it looked clean.

"Eldest son, your clothes. Last night, the mistress said that you and Master have been drinking too much, so it's not good for you to walk in dirty clothes, so she washed it at her own discretion."

Gu Juefei then came back to his senses and reached out to take it: "Mrs. Zhang has a good heart. There is no place for her to make her own decisions. It is only if she works hard."

"My wife also made a half bowl of sobering soup to be cooked with today's porridge. drink."

Ji Wuwei touched his head, a youthful look on his face.

"The teacher said, let you use it anyway, so that you won't have a headache when you look back."

Gu Juefei turned his eyes and saw the small round table. I don't know when a porcelain bowl with light brown medicinal soup was placed in it.

In addition, there was a bowl of steaming white porridge, accompanied by two plates of side dishes.

It looks really simple.

But that little bit of heat seems to be able to blow into his heart, but the more it is, the more he thinks of last night...

He suppressed the **** aura and put on a modest smile: "Thank you for my wife, and thank you for your master."

Why even thank his master?

Ji Wuwei's eyes widened, and he didn't react for a while, but he didn't ask any more, only said: "Then you should drink the medicinal meal first. I'll cut the medicine outside, and you can call me if you have anything."

Gu Juefei nodded and said hello.

Ji Wuwei walked out.

Gu Juefei stood in the back room for a while.

Maybe it's because I traveled a lot in such places and saw a lot during my study tour.

So, standing in this simple or even humble house compared to the Grand Master's Mansion, he did not violate the peace at all.

He put his robe aside, washed first, and removed all the alcohol on his body, and then wiped the water droplets on his fingers with a square towel.

At this time, I slowly put on my robe.

It's like wearing a layer of armor.

At that moment, all the mess and embarrassment from last night seemed to be covered by this crane and disappeared.

On the slightly rippling water, another perfect Gu Juefei is reflected.

He sat down and drank the sobering soup before using the porridge and side dishes on the table to suppress the bitter taste in his mouth.

When he lifted the curtain and walked out, the hall outside was already busy.

The doctors in the hall are busy prescribing medicines to see a doctor.

Gui Shou Zhang, who also drank too much last night, now has a piece of ginseng in his mouth, and looks like he is okay, taking the patient's pulse.

Guys apprentices, do some hard work.

On the small table in front of the medicine cabinet, there is a small guillotine specially used for cutting medicine. Ji Wuwei is standing there, pressing the guillotine in his hand, and below it is a half-cut rhizome of the star.

But he didn't cut it right now, talking to a guy in a cyan patch.

It wasn't anyone else, it was Pan Quan'er who came here to invite Ghost Hand Zhang at Lu Jinxi's order.

Ji Wuwei: "Do you still come to invite my master this early in the morning?"

"No, but this time in no hurry."

Pan Quan'er laughed, this time more calmly.

"The eldest son of the court in our house has suffered from leg problems since he was a child, and he has never been able to cure it."

"The second grandmother sent me to ask to see if Dr. Zhang is free. It doesn't matter if I'm not free. Whenever I'm free, the General's Mansion can wait."

"So..."

Ji Wuwei frowned, thinking that he was going to inform his wife and master.

Unexpectedly, when I looked up, I saw that Gu Juefei had come out, and put down the guillotine for a while: "Eldest son, are you finished?"

Gu Juefei was standing not far away.

He has washed properly, his eyes are clear, his eyes are clean and deep; with one hand in front of him and the other behind him, he is calm.

The lobby is noisy, but his corner is quiet.

Pan Quan'er was a little surprised when she heard Ji Wuwei's voice and raised her head to look.

He has seen quite a few dignitaries, and at a glance, he can see that this person is not ordinary. It's just that he hasn't seen Gu Juefei before, after all, and he didn't make a sound at the moment.

Gu Juefei came out, intending to leave.

It's just that he didn't expect that as soon as he came out, he heard the words "General's Mansion". He couldn't help but glance at Pan Quan'er for a while, and also noticed the sign of the General's Mansion hanging on his waist.

The General's Mansion, the second grandmother, the eldest son...

Calculate, this is actually the concubine of Xue Kuang and that Hu Jisheng?

Gu Juefei felt strange for a while.

If he remembered correctly, this concubine named Xue Tingzhi was not very popular with Lu Jinxi on weekdays, and he never had any sense of presence in the General's Mansion.

A lame leg is a lame leg, a child born of an orchid, with an unorthodox bloodline, who would care?

But now...

He actually heard the servant in front of him say that Lu Jinxi was going to find a ghost hand Zhang to treat the son's leg?

It's really...

Everything is rare.

Gu Juefei's eyes turned away from Pan Quan'er, with a gentle smile on his face.

He didn't reveal what he was thinking at all, he just walked closer and said to Ji Wu, "I've disturbed you all night, and it's time to go back. But I see that your master is calling on people. It's not good to go up and disturb. I asked you to help me say goodbye for a while, and said that I would bring wine soon, and I told you to leave today without saying goodbye."

Ji Wuwei was a little surprised.

But think about it, too, if you haven't returned all night, Master Taishi will definitely be worried.

He laughed quickly: "Then be careful on the road, I'll tell the master in a while."

Gu Juefei nodded and went straight out of Huisheng Hall.

Looking back, that pair of couplets is still hanging - I hope everyone in the world is safe, why worry about the dust on the shelf?

"He Chou put the medicine on the shelf..."

He read aloud, couldn't help laughing, but in a blink of an eye he thought of Xue Kuang and his own future, and he was a little confused.

Fortunately, I have nothing to do at the moment, so it's not too late to go back to the Grand Master's mansion.

Gu Juefei pondered for a while, then walked down the street, entered the inner city gate, and went directly to the palace of the eldest princess.

The mansion of Princess Yongning was given by the late emperor, and it was still the "Princess Mansion" at that time.

Later married Xue Huan, who was in the second room of the General's Mansion, and expanded it a bit; when Xiao Che ascended the throne, he changed the "Princess Princess Mansion" and expanded it again.

Nowadays, it is considered one of the best mansions in the capital.

Gu Juefei and Princess Yongning are acquaintances and have visited in the past. Therefore, the servant at the door directly led him in.

After not seeing him for six years, he only felt that the palace of the eldest princess had become richer again.

There are many rockeries and picturesque pavilions. There are birds of various colors hanging on the promenade, and the begonias planted below are already open, making them even more beautiful.

As soon as people came in, there were several maids who had received letters because he sat in the warm pavilion and brought refreshments.

"The eldest son has not seen you for a long time. The slaves are still talking about when you will come. You can't help but think about it. But you didn't come here by coincidence. What?"

Drinking more?

As soon as Gu Juefei heard this, he remembered the person who had been flirting with Princess Yongning at the banquet yesterday, and suddenly snorted: "I haven't been here for so long, I forgot. I'll wait a while, it's fine."

The maids covered their mouths and smiled when they heard what he meant.

Because they have been with the eldest princess Yongning for many years, they also know the temperament of this young man who has a good relationship with the eldest princess, so they don't talk much and silently retreat to the side.

On the small square table with carved mahogany lacquer, the tea cups and snacks have been placed.

However, there are also a few idle books, and a brand new blue book on it, without any words.

Gu Juefei saw it, but didn't turn it over, only brought tea to eat.

After waiting like this for almost two to three minutes, Princess Yongning walked outside, with a bit of sullenness on her face, even with delicate makeup, she couldn't hide it.

As soon as she saw Gu Juefei, she couldn't hold back, she pulled the corners of her mouth and smiled: "You Gu Juefei is so incomprehensible, you don't know the wind and moon, and it is very suitable to go up the mountain to be a monk. These twenty-nine years If you can't find a daughter-in-law, it's hard to guarantee that you don't deserve it!"

Gu Juefei was speechless.

He is usually restrained when it comes to men and women, and he doesn't know what it feels like when the poem says "the spring night is short and the day is high, and the king does not go to court early".

Princess Yongning said this, with a gun and a stick, how could he not hear it?

I just don't know what to do.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Princess Yongning snorted lightly, relieved a little.

The maids have brought new tea, she took it, took a sip, woke up, and said to Gu Juefei: "This morning, you are not accompanying the old master in the Grand Master's mansion, but Came to my place. Although the smell of alcohol on my body is light, it can't be covered. Did you not return all night?"

Princess Yongning has been immersed in the court for many years. She has always been a shrewd person, and there are few things she can hide from her.

Gu Juefei didn't ask whether she saw it by herself, or heard the news from her eyes and ears, she just took a piece of lotus seed cake and took a small bite.

"You know what happened to me and him, don't ask me again."

"The old lady still doesn't believe you?"

Princess Yongning glanced at him.

At this time, Gu Juefei had put one arm on the rose-purple money python big pillow next to him, and changed to a more lazy sitting position.

Listening to her question, he couldn't help shaking his head: I've already said it, no need to ask again.

Gu Juefei laughed and asked, "Does the eldest princess believe me?"

Princess Yongning was speechless for a while.

She put the tea cup down, moved the blue book on the table to the front, opened a page, and looked at it slowly.

In my mind, it was the accident six years ago.

At that time, Xiao Che just got the evidence of Xue Kuang's rebellion.

Includes the battle maps of the marches and wars in these years, as well as some letters from the border business trips, and of course there are military pay books that have been manipulated.

In addition, there are several witnesses.

Xiao Chemi summoned several confidants to the palace to discuss the removal of Xue Kuang.

It's just that Xue Kuang has always been loyal. Naturally, some people don't believe that he will do this. Instead, they suspect that someone framed it and pointed the finger at Gu Juefei.

These people suggested that they should thoroughly investigate the evidence and return Xue Kuang to his innocence.

But also on this night, a bizarre fire destroyed everything.

All evidence on paper was reduced to ashes.

Even several witnesses who were detained in Tianjing were silently poisoned!

Only one of them had a bigger life, ate less, and the poison developed more slowly, and he managed to survive until he was discovered.

That is, this person, before his death, confided the "truth" to Gu Chengqian, who was dealing with the matter at the time...

"It was me, Gu Juefei, who slandered Xue Kuang, and was afraid of being found out, so I killed and silenced..."

Gu Juefei took a sip of tea leisurely, savoring the fragrance that melted on the tip of his tongue, and there was a casual taste in his voice.

"You say that I have such great ability, that I can quietly penetrate the prison and poison the prisoners. Why don't I have the money to prepare a poison that can see blood and seal my throat?"

Eat less and die slowly!

This is the funniest joke Gu Juefei has heard in twenty-nine years.

He came from the wisest man who claimed the second place in the world, and the first was reserved for humility.

If he wants to kill people, he will do it a thousand times more concealed.

How could someone be held accountable?

There is also a "poisonous death", leaving a reluctant "dying truth"!

So when he thinks about it, he still finds it awkward and funny.

It's funny because the opponent used such a trick to insult his ingenuity against him.

Aggrieved, because this method is simple, but straightforward and direct, destroying the evidence, and causing trouble for him, causing them to disintegrate from the inside.

"The ministers who trust him, those who secretly burn evidence, and those who can infiltrate the prison to poison him. He, Xue Kuang, can lead troops to fight at the border, and he can also have such a deep foundation in the capital..."

Gu Juefei was playing with the tea cup, and there was already a little more serenity in his shallow tone.

"In this battle six years ago, it was me who lost the battle."

“…”

Princess Yongning was speechless.

She stared at Gu Juefei for a long time, as if she wanted to see if he was telling the truth or a lie.

But in the end, I found that there seemed to be a faint tiredness in his eyes.

Yes.

How can you not be tired?

Xue Kuang was the great general of Daxia until his death.

Gu Juefei was unable to peel off any layer of glory from him, and even had to let him be buried under the yellow sand of the battle flag, wrapped in horse leather and returned.

It's hard to say who will lose and who will win.

Princess Yongning's heart is also a bit complicated. She sighed with a smile: "If you lose, you will lose the relationship between father and son; if he loses, he will return to the west and have nowhere to bury."

One life to the west, nowhere to bury?

When Gu Juefei heard this, he smiled inexplicably: "He Xue Kuang has an unparalleled plan, and the world has underestimated him..."

These words are endless, and Princess Yongning can't understand.

She and Gu Juefei really know each other very well.

He was also with her, and he showed a bit of a lazy and uninhibited true temperament, and occasionally said some very neurotic words.

So, she doesn't ask at this moment.

Only one page was turned in the blue book at hand, Princess Yongning sighed, not very satisfied, and turned another page.

Gu Juefei saw this thing when he came, but didn't turn it over.

At this moment, when Princess Yongning turned upside down, frowning at the same time, he smiled: "Which corrupt official, did he honor something good again?"

Princess Yongning raised her head and laughed angrily.

She just pushed the book to Gu Juefei: "If it is such an important account book, why can't Ben Gong put it here? I'm afraid it will become a handle in your hand when you turn around."

Of course Gu Juefei was just joking.

He took the book and looked at it, only to realize that it was actually a roster: a portrait was left on each page, with the name, place of origin, origin and temperament beside it.

"They are all over twenty-five years old, either unmarried or waiting to be renewed..."

Most of them are from the capital, and Gu Juefei knows a thing or two about every name on it.

So this time, the expression on his face is a little bit like a smile.

When Princess Yongning saw it, she couldn't help frowning: "What's wrong?"

Gu Juefei glanced at her, turned a few pages, and was too lazy to turn it again, only said: "This book, I'm afraid the matchmaker said it was used by the matchmaker? All of them are jade trees, and their characters are so good that they can go to heaven." /

This guy is too sharp.

Princess Yongning couldn't help laughing: "You are used to being amazing, and there are not many people in the world that can catch your eye. But the people on the roster in this palace are not bad. My nephew A daughter-in-law picks a husband, can you pick your wife the same way you pick your wife?"

"...nephew?"

At that moment, Gu Juefei's eyelids jumped.

He almost suspected that he had heard it wrong: Princess Yongning has many nephews, but there are really not many who need to "pick a husband"...

"You also know that Xue Kuang and her had a bad relationship at the beginning."

Princess Yongning sighed, because she and Gu Juefei knew each other well, so she didn't have to betray her.

"Now that Xue Kuang is gone, I can't bear to see her still arguing in that mansion, like a living dead. Right now, I want to choose one or two for her. You've just searched a lot, what do you think?"

How is it?

Gu Juefei's fingertips were placed on the page, as if they were placed on the snow-white square towel again.

A subtle feeling, like ripples, gradually emerged.

He lowered his eyebrows, no one could see under his deep eyes, whether it was the warm wind or the cold knife light...

The corner of his lips curled into a silent smile.

Gu Juefei slowly loosened his fingers, trying to let that subtle feeling get away from him, and then slowly said: "How... I don't think these people are very good."

“…”

Princess Yongning felt choked.

Gu Juefei didn't seem to see it, and only read the page in front of him: "The fourth son of the Meng family who co-organizes the bachelor's degree, Meng Jin, Bingchenke Scholars, widowed, kind-hearted, and dignified..."

When I read this, my voice stopped.

He raised his eyes and glanced at Princess Yongning, and said lightly: "This person is a Jinshi from my same department. I saw him at the Qionglin Banquet, and he had a pockmarked face."

These days, the pockmarked face can be said to be dignified.

Princess Yongning shook her hands.

Gu Juefei turned another page.

"Zhou Deyuan, the left servant of the Ministry of Punishment, poor family, thirty-two years old, unmarried..."

"That's true, the outer room can't be counted as a wife."

"I don't remember much. Of the two he wrapped in Huaihua Hutong, which one is the one on the hook?"

Princess Yongning took a deep breath and slowly put down the teacup.

Gu Juefei turned to the third page and laughed when he saw the name on it.

"This is not bad, the second son of the Wei family, Wei Di."

"On twenty-seven this year, my wife died."

"His family has a glorious family, but he himself is a piece of shit, a piece of trash, a piece of mud. Old Wei has helped him immortally for more than ten years, but he didn't stick to the wall."

"Although a person is a bit inferior, if anyone has a bit of skill to marry in, they can kill him."

"In this way, prosperity and wealth are no problem."

Princess Yongning was too angry to speak.

Gu Juefei swiped with his fingertips, and when he saw the page flipping over in front of him, he casually let go and let the roster close.

He turned to look at Princess Yongning with a leisurely tone.

"I'm not familiar with anyone at this age in the capital. If you want to choose a husband for your niece, why would you ask someone to make such a roster? Ask me if I'm more reliable than others?"

Princess Yongning didn't smile: "Ask you? You Gu Juefei are self-conscious and have arsenic smeared on your tongue. What kind of person can be good in your mouth?"

"The eldest princess has wronged me."

Gu Juefei shook his head, took a sip of tea, lifted the lid with his slender fingers, elegant and calm, and very eye-catching.

"You said that there are very few people in the world who can catch my eye, but now there is exactly one, and the age is not much different from your niece."

Anyone who can enter Gu Juefei's eyes?

Princess Yongning knew that he had friends all over the world, and maybe he really did, so she asked: "What do you say?"

Gu Juefei put down the tea cup and opened his mouth slowly.

"This person is also a jinshi of Bingchen Branch, and he has no wives and concubines."

"Familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics, the Ming Jing has a complete understanding of the strategies and theories; born with a dignified and good-looking appearance, he shows the attitude of a gentleman."

"He does everything well, and he has few leftovers."

"He treats people properly and has seven orifices in his heart."

Princess Yongning secretly said: This is not bad.

She was a little interested: "As you put it, if you have a reputation, you don't have a wife or concubines, so you should be a good character. I just don't know what your family background is and what's your family's population?"

Gu Juefei squinted slightly, as if thinking.

"Are you family..."

"A splendid door has a very high lintel."

"The family's population is even more complex. There are about three to five hundred people in the family, and there are countless branches of the family."

"However, this person lost his mother at a young age, and he had a relationship with his father after he was named on the Golden List, so the family lintel should not be ignored."

“…”

Why does it sound familiar?

Eldest Princess Yongning looked at Gu Juefei's indifferent face, her heart skipped a beat, and she was so frightened that she almost threw the teacup she had just served on the ground!

"How dare you?!"

Gu Juefei's eyebrows and eyes were cut like ink and ink, and he was dyed with a three-pointed smile, as if he had not heard what Princess Yongning said at all.

His face was calm, his tone was light, and he continued his previous words:

"This person's surname is Gu, his first name is Juefei, and he is twenty and nine this year—"

"What does the eldest princess think about me?"
