I was Idle and Cool Chapter 48: Sister Lang

The room was quiet.

Lu Jinxi seemed to be in a trance. Egret Qingque looked at each other and was about to ask what was written on the gift list to make her do this.

Unexpectedly, a cheerful voice came from outside: "Mother, I'm back!"

Lu Jinxi came back to her senses and looked up.

I saw Xue Chi walking fast, as if stepping on a hot wheel, came in directly from the outside, and threw himself into her arms: "Baby, please say hello to your mother, is it the right time to say hello to you?"

A small, handsome face, with a little baby fat, was flushed red, and there were dense beads of sweat on his forehead.

Eyes are filled with joy.

Obviously having fun.

I just don't know how far this came from.

Lu Jinxi calmed down and put aside all the miscellaneous thoughts.

She caught him, a little helpless, and flicked his forehead with a finger: "This is filial piety. If you really care about your mother, why do you need to run back in such a hurry? This is obviously a game of forgetfulness. It's time, it's time to hurry up!"

Xue Chi's brocade robe was slightly wrinkled.

Hearing his mother dismantle him, he arched in her arms and snorted uncomfortably: "Mother, you really...then, then I don't have to run in such a panic if I don't forget about my mother. Ah. I almost fell..."

"Falled?"

Lu Jinxi raised an eyebrow.

The egrets and Qingque next to them were nervous: "Isn't there a maid and a servant watching? Why did you almost fall? Didn't you hurt anywhere?"

"It's okay, I almost fell..."

A flash of wisdom flashed in Xue Chi's eyes, and he whispered.

This kid!

You can tell it's a lie at a glance.

Lu Jinxi looked at him with a half-smile, and felt that if this young man grew up, he might not be as simple as a "little bully", but he might be a bit like a "demon king of chaos".

She saw that the two Egret Qingques were still nervous, she couldn't help shaking her head and said, "Don't worry about him, even if he falls, it's not a big deal. Besides, he hasn't fallen yet. Do you believe what he says?"

"This..."

The egret was a little dumbfounded.

Xue Chi's cheeks bulged immediately, and he poked Lu Jinxi with a little grievance: "Mother, why did you expose it again..."

Can I still lie?

"I just played Shuanglu for a while, and when I came out, I met a few gentlemen with the two parties, and I heard them say a big thing, so I was delayed."

A few gentlemen, can you talk about big things?

Lu Jinxi helped him straighten his clothes, and just wanted to laugh, but a flash of light flashed in his mind, and suddenly he remembered what Xue Chi had said before——

Several gentlemen from Kuoyin Xue Zhai did not have class this afternoon, so they were given their leave. This is all to visit Gu Juefei, the eldest son of the Gu family...

She changed her mind and became really curious: "What did your husband say about the big event?"

"It seems to be a few famous universities and colleges in the capital? They want to start the fasting together, but there are not many students to accept..."

Some of the words used in the text are too convoluted for Xue Chi, and he is not very able to repeat them completely.

But it's OK to say something.

"Oh, that's right." Raising his hand and patting his forehead, Xue Chi remembered something, and his eyes lit up, "That old gentleman named Gu is also inside, and seems to be one of the gentlemen. Mr. Ting They said, it seems that this old gentleman is more powerful than everyone else."

Lu Jinxi was surprised: "Is he inside?"

What is this?

You can't even fight with eight poles, right?

Once Gu Juefei came back, people all over the capital were waiting for the emperor's decree to re-proclaim Gu Juefei as an official.

He didn't wait at home, but he ran to break the fast with others and be a husband?

This is incredible.

Lu Jinxi's brows furrowed: "Mr., what else did you say?"

"I don't remember much. The gentlemen didn't say much. I just ran into the two of us by chance. When I go back, I can tell my family about how hard work and hard work. The blessing of..."

Xue Chi said, pouting.

"They said again, things haven't been settled yet, and they'll tell us more about it tomorrow. I don't think there's anything, but the two parties seem very happy and want to go back and tell their mother."

"It's not settled yet."

Presumably those gentlemen, who went to see Gu Juefei today, happened to know about it.

Lu Jinxi thought about it, and smiled: "Since your husbands said that you are a great scholar, it must be a rare opportunity, that's why the second son of Luo is so happy. You should also pay attention when you look back and listen to what your husbands have to say. "

"Isn't it?" Xue Chi suddenly turned a bitter face, "I don't want to worry about this, mother, you-he, what is that?"

Halfway through his words, his eyes suddenly froze.

Previously, all of them rushed in, but after they came in, they only talked to Lu Jinxi and didn't pay attention to the surroundings. When he looked up, Xue Chi realized that there were several brocade boxes on the table.

Especially, one of the brocade boxes turned out to be a sword!

"Sword!"

At that moment, both his eyes lit up, he let out a happy cry, jumped out of Lu Jinxi's arms, and walked to the table with his legs.

"It's really a sword, so pretty!"

"Brother, be careful, don't dare to touch this sword if it's too sharp."

The maids nearby were frightened to death by him. For fear of hurting him, they hurried forward to stop him.

Lu Jinxi was also taken aback by him, got up and said, "Brother Chi, slow down."

Xue Chi was lying on the edge of the table, watching eagerly.

It's not that he hasn't seen the sword. But those swords were all placed on shelves, or hung on high walls, or painted in operas and used on the stage.

Never had a sword come so close to him

The three-foot-long Qingfeng lies in a box.

There is no bright brilliance, and the dark surface appears a little dull. But the more vague it is, the more it makes people feel trembling.

Three-finger-wide blade with a sharp point.

There is not half a gemstone inlaid on the entire sword, only the delicate cast pattern, and a circle of silver light has been polished on the sword edge, which is the only point of light on it.

This is a simple sword, but also a pure sword.

It is different from the sword Xue Chi has seen before.

Xue Chi only felt that his heartbeat was quickening, he slowly stretched out his hand and grabbed the hilt of the sword, but when he tried hard, he couldn't even lift it up: "It's heavy!"

With great effort, the sword could only be lifted halfway.

Seeing this, Lu Jinxi laughed.

Xue Chi is still young after all, and since this sword is made of meteorite iron, it should be heavier than other swords, and it is normal that it cannot be lifted.

"Mother, what kind of sword is this, where did it come from?"

Xue Chi was so curious that he couldn't pick it up, but he couldn't bear to do it. He didn't even roll his eyes, so he could see carefully.

"This is Hong Lujian..."

As soon as the words came out, Lu Jinxi was taken aback and read: Honglu, oven?

Oven, purgatory.

The sword of Honglu? Oven Sword!

Even choosing a sword has such a charm.

Lu Jinxi stepped forward, stood by Xue Chi's side, looked at the sword with him, and continued: "This sword is a gift from the Grand Master's Mansion, which is the 'Gu Gu' you just said. The old gentleman's sent someone to deliver it."

"Mr. Gu?"

Xue Chi's eyes widened in surprise.

"Tai Shifu, is it Grandpa Gu? But who is Mr. Gu?"

After all, Xue Chi is also Lu Jiuling's grandson, so he still has an impression of Gu Chengqian. What's more, the name of the Grand Master's mansion is outside, it is difficult for him not to remember.

So, it's normal to call "Grandpa Gu".

It's just that Lu Jinxi didn't expect him to know.

At the moment, she only touched Xue Chi's head and laughed; "It's the eldest son of your grandfather Gu, the eldest son of the Taishifu, called Gu Juefei. But you are still young, if you like this sword, I will Put it away for you-"

"No no no no!"

As soon as Lu Jinxi was about to put away the sword, Xue Chi didn't care about Mr. Gu, Mr. Gu, and hurriedly called out.

"I like this sword! Mother, you said before that when I grow up and read books well, I can also learn from my father and let my uncles in the army teach me martial arts. In the future, just like my father, I will lead troops to fight! Now let's look at the sword first..."

Lu's also said such a thing?

When Lu Jinxi heard this, he felt like a mirror in his heart: Xue Kuang was young, he fought at the border all the year round, and he didn't say anything when he went home. He died in battle at the age of twenty-seven.

Who wants to make his son look like his father?

So, the Lu family should just want Xue Chi to read the book well, and it may not be necessary to ask him to take the imperial examination in the future. As for asking him to practice martial arts, it is mostly just casual talk to coax the child.

Just...

Xue Chi may not think so.

He held the sword tightly in his hand, unwilling to let go, and looked at her a little nervously.

As if worried about her scolding.

Lu Jinxi glanced at the sword, thinking about the pitiful appearance of Xue Chi when he first saw him, and the situation where Wei Xian suddenly froze after mentioning the word "General"...

How much influence does a father he has never met have on him?

She doesn't know.

But this kind of thing is worse than sparse.

This sword is also a coincidence.

Lu Jinxi smiled slightly and looked at him gently: "It's okay to have a look, but you can only look at it. One of the swords is too heavy, and the other is too sharp, and it is not suitable for your age. If you don't move, I'll keep it for you. When you come back, someone will put a scabbard on you, and then make a small sword for you. If you do well in the school, then I'll give you this sword early. If it's not good ..."

"I must learn!"

Xue Chi heard that Lu Jinxi's words were about to change, and quickly patted his chest to make sure, for fear that she would say something to take the sword back.

"Anyway, you said it just now, just give it to me if you behave well. Come on, mother, you pull the hook with me, it's a puppy to lie!"

The hook...

The corner of Lu Jinxi's mouth twitched, and the whole person was not feeling well.

But Xue Chi looked at her with burning eyes, as if she was afraid that she would regret it, and she really couldn't refuse the other party.

Yes.

Pull it.

She half-bends down and stretches out her tiny little finger: "Here."

Xue Chi looked at it and quickly stretched out his fingers.

He is still young, his fingers are very short, just a small section, hooking up with Lu Jinxi's: "Hanging on the hook, a hundred years, it is not allowed to change!"

My mother's fingers are warm.

After he finished reciting, he raised his black eyes and looked at her, only to see the white jade hairpin stuck on her temples, but it seemed that her skin was not as white as hers.

She looked at him with a slight smile, very tolerant.

Inexplicably, Xue Chi's ears turned red, he retracted his fingers, and said angrily, "Mother must be laughing at my childishness!"

"You are the little ancestor of our family, who dares to laugh at you?"

Of course Lu Jinxi didn't admit it, and Shi Shiran went to his position.

Xue Chi was in a hurry, so she followed and dragged her: "Then you're still smiling!"

"Nonsense, obviously not."

"You have."

"No."

"Yes!"

"No."

……

One questioned, one wanted to tease him.

Two people, one big and one small, were actually under the shameful gaze of the maids, you came and I quarreled.

After a while, Xue Chi forgot the sword behind his head.

Until the two older sisters also came to greet Lu Jinxi, he thought that any further quarrel would damage his image of being wise and martial, so he took a sigh of relief and sat back in the chair.

As soon as Xue Mingli and Xue Minglang came in, they saw the smiles on the faces of the maids around them. Lu Jinxi also wanted to not laugh, but Xue Chi was the only one with a calm face, as if he had been smoked by stinky tofu.

"Greetings to mother."

The two saluted together.

Xue Mingli still dresses plainly, wearing a snow-blue gown, with a smile on her face, very friendly.

Xue Minglang was wearing a light purple jacket. The piping of the snow fox fur lined the small face with melon seeds. She was very charming, but there was not much joy on her face, and she greeted him with some resistance.

There is no problem with Sister Li, but Sister Lang is still the same.

Lu Jinxi remembered what Wei Xian said, not sure if it was true or not, so she hurriedly asked them to sit down: "Just now, the Taishifu sent a gift in return, but I didn't expect to be seen by Brother Chi, Pick up this sword. I'm going out tomorrow, do you two have any gifts that you want, my mother will buy them for you, okay?"

Xue Chi snorted and said nothing.

Xue Mingli was a little surprised, her eyes lit up.

But she didn't answer Lu Jinxi first. Instead, she went to look at Xue Minglang next to her, with a bit of anticipation: "Sister, I remember that you read the book before and liked the shadow puppet mentioned in the book. I also like it, or we let my mother Buy it?"

Xue Minglang pursed his lips, and when he heard Lu Jinxi say "going out", his fingers on his knees clenched tightly.

Listening to Xue Mingli's question at this moment, she immediately refused.

"No! When did I say I liked it?"

The voice is a little sharp.

The meaning of non-cooperation inside is even more intense.

"May..."

Xue Mingli was surprised, and she was speechless.

Even Xue Chi, who was on the side, didn't expect it, and looked at Xue Minglang: "Didn't the second sister say it before? I still remember it."

"I want you to remember!"

It's okay not to say it. As soon as he said it, Xue Minglang blew him up.

Two beautiful eyes widened and looked at Xue Chi angrily: "I liked it before, but now I don't like it, can't I?"

"You, you are unreasonable!"

Xue Chi was usually the unreasonable one, but now he was robbed by Xue Minglang, and his face turned red.

Xue Minglang snorted and opened his mouth to refute something.

Just as soon as she raised her eyes, she glanced at Lu Jinxi, who was sitting above her, and her voice became hoarse.

Lu Jinxi was looking at her.

A pair of eyes are calm and gentle, without waves, with a faint warm sun-like temperature. But there are also some vague thoughts hidden in it.

This kind of warm eyes was the favorite of Xue Minglang in the past.

But since that day...

She didn't dare to recall such a look, because it would make her feel chills, fear, and even disgust...

How could she still look at them with those eyes?

Is there no sense of guilt at all...

What the aunt said before, as well as the things written in the book that Sister Pearl read, all flashed through her mind one by one...

Xue Minglang suddenly felt very sad.

But she can't cry.

Two hands were tightly clasped together, her back was straight, she resisted the trembling, hot feeling in her eyes, and asked stiffly, "Do you have to go out?"

This is a strange and blunt question.

Lu Jinxi suddenly couldn't describe that feeling.

But very uncomfortable.

She frowned slightly and replied with a smile: "Don't Sister Lang want her mother to go out?"

"When I go out to buy things in the house, there are servants, maids and maids. If my mother wants to buy something, can't I let them go?"

Xue Minglang's voice trembled.

"There is no need for my mother to go out."

……

The smile on his face slowly faded away like the tide.

Lu Jinxi finally knew what the problem was, and even understood what kind of sinister and vicious intention Wei Xian was referring to.

She stared at Xue Minglang, but she couldn't restrain the coldness that rose from the bottom of her heart, her tone was vague and soft, but extremely indifferent, she just said calmly and firmly: "What if mother has to go out?"

Such an expression was finally something Xue Minglang had never seen before.

She couldn't even believe it: that gentle mother would say such a thing to herself...

Are the words my aunt said finally come true?

She really doesn't want them anymore...

Xue Minglang didn't want to believe it at first, but at this moment, he felt that his whole body had no strength. Looking at Lu Jinxi's eyes, he finally turned into undisguised disappointment, and even a trace of resentment.

The tears in my eyes rolled down.

Seeing this, the egret, who had just brought the tea, was a little frightened. She put down the tea cup and asked her about her situation: "Sister, what's going on-hey, Sister Lang!"

Xue Minglang got up, pushed the egret away, and ran outside.

"What the aunt said is true... I don't want you to care, I don't want you to care! Go away!"

"Sister!"

Xue Mingli had seen something wrong before, but she just thought what Xue Minglang asked was strange, and now she was even more worried when she saw her running out.

"Mother, she, she... I'll go see my sister first!"

The words were incoherent for a long time, and she obviously didn't know what to do. Finally, she gritted her teeth and stomped her foot, telling Lu Jinxi to retreat, and then hurriedly chased out.

"Sister Lang! Sister! Ming Lang!"

The maids inside and outside the house were all terrified. Egret Qingque looked at each other in dismay.

Xue Chi stood up, looked left and right, but didn't understand the situation at all: "Second sister, what's wrong?"

Lu Jinxi sat on the edge of the pillow with an expressionless face, her slender fingers pressed on the carved lacquer square table, and she could not feel any temperature under her fingertips.

He's...

There is no shortage of gossip and vicious widows in the general's mansion.

She closed her eyes slightly and only said to Xue Chi: "Your second sister is fine, but you are in a bad mood for a while. Mom won't let you eat dinner today, you go back to study your homework first."

"Yes."

Xue Chi looked at his mother's appearance and was actually a little worried.

But he didn't know what to do from the beginning to the end, and he was afraid of disturbing her, so he stepped back cautiously, without even asking about the sword.

"Second grandma, this..."

The egret was very worried. Seeing Xue Chi leaving, he finally stood up, but he didn't know how to speak.

Where does a daughter ask her mother like this?

Too...

I have never seen Sister Lang say such exaggerated things before, why suddenly...

On the table is the paper cutter that just picked the flame paint. The texture of ebony is fine, and the color is cold.

Lu Jinxi stretched out his hand and picked it up. Looking at the extremely thin edge, he remembered a lot.

Seeing on the garden veranda, He Shi turned a blind eye to the rudeness and indifference;

Egret said that after widowhood, the other party "doesn't walk through the door without two doors", and only teaches Sister Pearl the ring of children and "no talent is virtue";

There was even the only conversation outside Mrs. Sun's house, with thorns...

In the bottom of my heart, a little bit of anger slowly came up.

Lu Jinxi's slender and fair fingers turned, and she placed the paper cutter on the gift list.

"What the aunt said is true..."

She read a sentence, but she couldn't hold back and sneered!

"No matter what happened to Sister Lang, she is so talented and courageous that she dares to help me Lu Jinxi teach my daughter - is she worthy!"
