I was Idle and Cool Chapter 42: Wooden grass

This legendary young master Gu is naturally the painted skin demon among the painted skin demons.

Lu Jinxi knows these people best.

As long as there is no conflict of interests, they must be kind to others and not easily enmity.

Long Ning Princess is such a valuable place, and they look at the friendship they once knew each other, shouldn't they tear their faces.

If it is inferred from common sense that the eldest princess is angry, it should not be for Gu Juefei herself.

Lu Jinxi's eyes glittered, and after thinking for a while, she felt a bit interesting.

But when I looked up, I only felt that Pan Quan'er looked a little dazed today, so she couldn't help but ask: "But when I went out today, what difficulties did I encounter? I looked at the frowning face."

Pan Quan'er is still thinking about the "miracles" she encountered in Taoism.

As soon as Lu Jinxi asked, he was taken aback and hurriedly bowed: "After all, it's the second grandmother, you are very keen, and you can't hide anything from you."

At the moment, I will tell Lu Jinxi a few things about meeting Gu Juefei in Huishengtang today, inquiring about his identity from Xiang Ji Wuwei, and seeing Gu Juefei holding a dog in Taoism.

When Lu Jinxi heard this, she was even more astonished than before.

"You mean, he came out of the back room of Huishengtang early in the morning, and when you came out of the palace of the eldest princess, you saw him holding a dirty little puppy in the middle of the road?"

"If the little one is not mistaken, it should be so."

Pan Quan'er could not help but wipe the cold sweat from her forehead.

He could hear the surprise in Lu Jinxi's words, and he knew where the surprise came from.

Who is not surprised?

I saw Gu Juefei in Huishengtang before, but Pan Quan'er didn't recognize him, so he asked Ji Wuwei about his identity, and was shocked when he found out that he was the legendary eldest son of Gu.

This is the first-class noble son in the capital, the character of the dragon and the phoenix.

He should be sitting in front of the mirror under the high hall. Who can imagine him walking on the road with a little milk dog?

When Pan Quan'er thinks about it, she still suspects that she is dreaming.

Lu Jinxi sat in the room and thought about it, but finally laughed: "Forget it, this matter has nothing to do with us in the end. You only need to keep your mouth shut about the matter of the Princess Chang's residence. Now there are two things Everything is settled, you just go back and continue to work on the garden."

"Several gardeners have been invited, and the little one wrote a post about the garden the next day. Please take a look." progress.

Lu Jinxi secretly praised him for being smart, but only said that he would wait and see.

Only then did Pan Quan'er respectfully retire and leave.

As soon as the people left, the egret laughed and joked: "He is very shrewd, and I know you value him. The slave girl heard people say this morning that he lights up at night until late at night, and goes to the market early in the morning to contact the flowers of various families. Craftsman, you can still look at the drawings yourself."

"It seems that I was lucky enough to pick someone who would do things well."

Lu Jinxi laughed, but looked at the egret with narrow eyes.

"But your news is quite broad. The things in the outer courtyard are also clear..."

"Madam!"

The egret suddenly screamed, hearing the hidden meaning of Lu Jinxi's words, and remembering the two words he just said, his face turned red with embarrassment, and he didn't know how to explain it to himself.

The blue bird next to her couldn't hold back, she pursed her lips and laughed.

Lu Jinxi also felt Coke, but she also knew that the egret was thin-skinned, so she didn't say much at the moment and said: "Okay, it's no big deal. Seeing that it's almost time, it's time to pass the meal. As usual, send someone, Take a look at the brothers and sisters, and ask around."

The egret was relieved at this time. Like a dead seedling caught in a timely rain, it hurriedly withdrew from the house and went out to gather.

Because Lu Jinxi changed the rules of the children's greetings, and only came here at dusk, there was nothing to do during the day, and she looked clean.

I asked people to look around at the brothers and sisters, just in case something happened.

Generally, it's fine.

Xue Chi went to school in Time School again. Because of the strict discipline of the gentlemen, he didn't come back at noon. He only ate lunch made by the small kitchen over there with everyone.

Unexpectedly, Xue Chi came back from school early today.

Lu Jinxi has just set the meal.

Xue Chi walked in wearing a bright sapphire blue robe: "Mother, I'm back!"

The bruises on his face from the fight with Luo Dingfang some time ago have disappeared, and he looks white. But he has bright eyes and bright eyes, so he is not weak at all, but looks handsome.

As soon as Lu Jinxi saw him, she couldn't help but be a little surprised: "Why are you back? Don't you all eat in the school at noon?"

As she spoke, she asked Bailu to add another pair of tableware.

Xue Chi is still young after all, with short arms and legs. Maybe because he played with Luo Dingfang again, he has been walking with the wind recently.

After listening to Lu Jinxi's words, he didn't salute and ran directly to Lu Jinxi's side, hugged her arm, hehe laughed and said with high spirits: "Gentlemen, it's only half a day today, we'll be on vacation in the afternoon, call us Go home and go to Zhaili tomorrow."

Time School is a free school run by the Luo Xue family.

The gentleman invited in the restaurant, although not a scholar, has a great reputation, and it is more than enough to teach children to read and write.

The two families treat these gentlemen very generously, so the gentlemen are not perfunctory and go to school every ten days for eight days.

Lu Jinxi knows this, so it's a little strange: "If I'm not wrong, it's not yet the time of the ten-day holiday. Why did the husband ask you to come back?"

At this time, the egret had added the bowls and chopsticks.

Xue Chi consciously climbed up to the round stool next to Lu Jinxi and sat down. Hearing her words, he laughed and rolled his eyes, which turned out to be extremely cunning.

"Because they want to go out on their own, but they're much more cunning than us! It's good to be a gentleman."

Lu Jinxi laughed angrily: "I didn't even ask why, but you started arranging the gentlemen. Be careful that this word gets into the ears of the gentlemen, and sooner or later, you won't be able to eat!"

"Well, I don't tell lies."

Xue Chi curled his lips and snorted, thinking that no **** would dare to hit him with a small report behind his back.

"Now in Xue Zhai, I am not the only one who knows."

"Everyone knows that."

"They didn't have class all morning, so Mr. Ge taught us to read the "Four Books", and the other gentlemen were there to write salutations, every word carefully. It seems that they are going to see some eldest son of the Taishifu in the afternoon, also called What, Mr. Gu..."

Lu Jinxi was stunned for a moment: "Tai Shifu, eldest son, Mr. Gu?"

"Anyway, there are a lot of names, and I don't know who it is..."

I don't even know how many people it was.

Xue Chi vaguely walked over, only picked up the chopsticks on the table and poked the rice in the bowl.

"It seems that this person is not easy to meet, just because our Mr. Ge is the same year as this old gentleman and knows him, so other gentlemen also want to take the opportunity to meet."

"I walked under their window with the two parties this morning and listened to them talking about it."

"Second party" is called Luo Dingfang.

Because Luo Dingfang was doing Er Fang at home, Xue Chi didn't like to call him "Luo Er", so he arbitrarily called him "Er Fang".

Luo Dingfang was not happy at first, but he couldn't beat Xue Chi later, so he called it that.

No one knows if Luo Dingfang is used to it or not. Anyway, Xue Chi is just saying it smoothly.

He blinked and looked at Lu Jinxi: "Mother, do you think this is considered 'dereliction of duty' or 'fake public welfare'?"

This kid!

Lu Jinxi couldn't help but give him a forehead: "I haven't learned much, but I've learned to put hats on people first!"

"Where is the..."

It's just that I've learned a few new words, and I'm just showing off.

Xue Chi hugged his head and apologized for himself: "Anyway, gentlemen can give themselves a holiday, and we must listen to the gentlemen..."

"So this matter tells us that if you want to be unfettered, you must first become a 'Mr.'." Lu Jinxi felt helpless, and only picked up a chopstick and put it into a bowl for Xue Chi, "If you haven't become a' Before Mr. ', you should go to school obediently. Hurry up and eat!"

"Becoming Mr.?"

Xue Chi muttered, frowning and thinking, and suddenly felt that her mother's words made sense.

If he also becomes a "Mr.", he can not only take his own leave, but also not take other people's leave.

That's so comfortable!

It seems that I should study hard?

Why do you feel like something is wrong when you think about it?

Xue Chi wanted to think deeply, but once he thought about it, he ended up the same way anyway.

Seeing that Lu Jinxi brought him some food, he buried his head to eat without saying a word.

After dinner and tea, he told Lu Jinxi about Luo Dingfang's invitation to go to the British government's mansion in the afternoon.

Lu Jinxi thought about it, there were children on the left and right, and she was on vacation today, so she agreed.

So Xue Chi quit her and went to the British government.

As soon as he left, Lu Jinxi pondered: The "Grand Master of the Grand Master's Mansion" and "Mr. Gu" mentioned by Xue Chi before should all be referring to Gu Juefei.

"Old gentleman", these three words go a long way.

Outside, this title is not a big deal; but if you put it in the literati, it will carry a lot of weight.

In the literati circle, it is customary to call someone "sir" politely when meeting a learned person, so that "sir" is everywhere and the address is worthless.

The Hanlin Academy is a gathering place for talented people.

Almost all of them here are jinshi, who are really talented and learn, and are different from others. In order to distinguish them from the "sir" in the streets, when they address each other, they often use the word "old".

Therefore, the title of "Old Mister" must be a noble person who was born in the two lists and was selected into the Hanlin Academy to be able to bear it.

Gu Juefei was in the first place in the year, and the Hanlin official was ordered on the Golden Palace, and the editor was granted.

These gentlemen in the Time School, calling him "old gentleman" is not an exaggeration at all. After all, the rules in the imperial examination field are not to lose to the Hanlin Academy at all, and they are all ranked according to merit.

Lu Jinxi thought about it and couldn't help but laugh.

This Young Master Gu's friendship is a bit more extensive than she thought, and it's as well-rounded as the legend has it.

Dragon and phoenix, ten people and nine admirers.

The qiji among the people, showing off the class.

She was a little interested, wanting to taste the taste of this painted skin monster.

It's a pity...

There are fewer opportunities for contact.

Lu Jinxi shook her head and sighed in her heart. She was a little disappointed, she just lowered her eyes and swallowed half a mouthful of tea, temporarily letting go of the idea.

What kind of young grass and old grass, can't eat now.

She's better to restrain her mind and concentrate on cooking "wobside grass".

Outside the window, it is rare to see a beautiful and peaceful day. The blue sky and white clouds hang on the curved corners of the black eaves, and it already smells like spring.

Lu Jinxi glanced at it, then withdrew her gaze.

Instead, he instructed Egret Qingque: "I'm going to take a lunch break for half an hour. In the afternoon, Guishou Zhang will come to see the eldest son, so he has to go to the yard and wait to see the situation. Look at the clock, it's here. Just remember to wake me up a little bit so I don't make a mistake."

"Yes."

Egret Qingque responded, and went to help her take off her robe.

Lu Jinxi retracted into the bed and slept with Jin quilt for half an hour. At some point, Egret Qingque called her up against a pair of Western bells placed in the house.

At this time, there is still half an hour before Shen Shi.

Lu Jinxi got up to wash up, straightened his head and face, changed into a silver embroidered green calyx plum satin robe, Leng Lan pinched his teeth and rolled the edges, and hugged a hand stove before heading to Xue Tingzhi's remote courtyard .

She didn't care about this son of a bitch.

It's just that the other side's leg needs to be treated after all, and there is a "crash" at night. Lu Jin does not doubt it, but he will not let go of the doubtful place.

Everything, let's see what the situation is today.

This morning, she has assigned someone to serve on Xue Tingzhi's side.

So today I came from the garden path, and after walking through the martial arts field, Lu Jinxi raised his eyes and saw a young servant guarding the courtyard gate, and could vaguely see three or two maids walking around.

When the little servant saw her, he was very excited, bowed and bowed: "Greetings to the second grandma."

"Come on, don't have to pass it on."

Lu Jinxi waved his hand, told him to get up, and walked straight in.

The courtyard is still that simple.

Five rooms, a deep well, and horses **** in the stable.

In the center of the courtyard, two large wooden boards were built on a low table, and old books were lined up above, most of which were spread out. Some of the yellowed pages were also dazzling in the light of the sky.

The three maids stood beside them, flipping open the books they had just brought out of the house.

Lu Jinxi hadn't approached, but when she saw it from a distance, she only felt that these maids were not very old, but their faces were a little embarrassed, and they seemed very unhappy.

The strength of the book is like a hatred of the book.

She was very clear in her heart, so she laughed: "This is a book."

A few maids turned around when they heard it.

As soon as I saw it, I was startled immediately. I hurriedly put down the book in my hand, and came down to greet the second grandma with a big gift: "The slaves and servants pay their respects to the second grandmother. Greet the second grandma."

The sound is crisp.

The unhappy expressions on everyone's faces were also taken back.

Lu Jinxi was amused.

She didn't ask them to get up, she just stepped forward, stood in front of the low table full of books, picked up a book, flipped through the names, it turned out to be "Long and Short Classics".

This book was written by a previous generation, also known as "Anti-Classics". It uses ancient times as a mirror and cites countless collections of scriptures and history, but it does not judge heroes based on success or failure, nor does it all judge characters based on loyalty and treacherousness.

The meaning is to remind people to know one or two, and to know the pros and cons.

In this way, we can achieve "knowing people and talents, and knowing people with good responsibilities".

Lu Jinxi had watched half of it, and had not had time to watch the rest.

Holding this book, she couldn't help turning two pages, and saw that although the pages were old, they seemed to be read often, but there was not a single note on it - neither new nor old.

This is surprising.

Looking at the appearance of this book, it should be an old book left by Xue Kuang to this precious bloodline. There are no comments on other books...

Lu Jinxi had some suspicions in her heart, and it happened that she had never read this content, so she turned over two pages without paying attention.

It's hard for the maids who squatted and saluted.

The second grandmother didn't call, how dare they get up? Maintaining that posture, it can be said that it is shaky, and it is almost impossible to support it.

When Xue Tingzhi came out of the room, he happened to see this scene.

The benevolent mother-in-law, who was pure and elegant, lowered her head in the light of the sky, and read the book carefully.

Fingers as slender as green onion roots rest on the yellowed pages, lined by the embroidered green calyx and plum embroidery patterns on the corners and cuffs of the clothes.

It's dizzying just to look at it like that.

Xue Tingzhi couldn't help being shaken.

But then, his eyes fell not far from her feet.

The maidservants, who were just divided up to serve him, squatted and knelt on the ground, with fine beads of sweat oozing out of their foreheads. I didn't know if they were tired or frightened, and their faces were all pale.

I'm about to cry when I see it, the pear flower is raining.

This contrast, beauty and femme fatale?

Intentional or unintentional?

Xue Tingzhi raised his eyebrows slightly.

He paused for a while, but he still walked under the eaves, because he was lame, and no matter how balanced he was, he still limped a little. When he got to Lu Jinxi, he bowed and saluted: "Tingzhi greets mother."

Huh?

Lu Jinxi raised her head when she heard the voice, and Xue Tingzhi was already in front of her.

She suddenly snorted and said, "I saw that you were drying a book here, but I took it out and read it, but I read it."

Xue Tingzhi glanced at the book, but the corners of his eyes twitched.

This first-mother...

Really good at picking books.

He lowered his eyes and said, "The house was damp a while ago, so Tingzhi thought about flipping the book out and seeing the light of the sky. These books are ordinary books. If your mother likes it, Tingzhi will have someone send it to you. side."

"It's not necessary."

Lu Jinxi glanced at him, with an unsure smile on her lips, she closed the book, but didn't put it back, just held it in her hand.

"I just read it casually, and this book is not easy to buy outside. You borrow me to read it for two days, and I will ask someone to send it back another day."

The sky is dazzling.

Reading like this is not good for the eyes.

After thinking about it, Lu Jinxi said to Xue Tingzhi, "I went to Huishengtang for you this morning and asked Guishouzhang. He came to see you when he passed the application time. Let's go into the room and talk."

Speaking, she walked into the house.

Xue Tingzhi saw that she was familiar with her driving, as if she was natural in her own courtyard, and felt subtle in her heart.

Looking at the newly added decorations and servants in this courtyard, he realized that——

An birthday, it's over here.

My heart is inexplicably panicked.

The shivering maidservants were still kneeling on the ground. Xue Tingzhi glanced back at him. He didn't feel any pity in his heart.

From them, he had a glimpse of the "tip of the iceberg" of this first-mother.

Being sent here by Lu Jinxi, he dares to be lighthearted.

Are you tired of living?

Xue Tingzhi crossed a bit of ridicule, but only said lightly: "Get up."

After hearing this, several maids wanted to get up, but they didn't know whether Xue Tingzhi's words would work or not.

Xue Tingyi also smiled.

He simply ignored them and went into the house.

Lu Jinxi was already sitting on the heated kang in his study, by the window, and put the book on the table, but looked at it with a small celadon cover clock on the table.

The glaze is dark blue, with a few black dots popping out from the bottom.

She only remembered that what she asked someone to add to Xue Tingzhi a while ago were two sets of Xing kiln white porcelain tea sets.

The eyebrows of the two distant mountains frowned slightly, and then slowly stretched out.

Lu Jinxi lowered her eyes to hide the cold light in her eyes, and put the little cover clock back on top.

She didn't even look at Xue Tingzhi, who had just walked in. She just sneered and said to the egret: "Lai Chang is in charge of the distribution of things to the eldest son a few days ago? , he put his neck close! There is still less than half an hour, you go and tell him to roll over."
