I was Idle and Cool Chapter 58: The sharpest weapon

Xue Mingli had long known that Lu Jinxi was going to talk to Sister Lang. From the time of the greeting to the meal, her heart was always hanging, and she was relieved when Lu Jinxi opened her mouth to leave Xue Minglang.

Xue Tingzhi on the other side couldn't help but glance at Lu Jinxi.

He had seen the conflict between Sister Lang and Lu Jinxi, but he didn't know the reason.

Now Lu Jinxi called Xue Minglang to stop, I'm afraid he wants to solve this problem.

Both of them have no reason to stay.

So as soon as Lu Jinxi said it, they all bowed to say goodbye, and Xue Mingli gave Xue Minglang a look of encouragement and comfort, as if she wanted Xue Minglang to relax.

But Xue Minglang couldn't relax.

At this time, she really wanted to leave with Xue Mingli, or just rush out without listening to Lu Jinxi's words.

But this idea came to her, and Lu Jinxi, who had walked up to her, seemed to see through her thoughts, only half-bends and smiled at her: "If you want to leave, my mother won't stop you. But you I may never know the truth in my life."

At that moment, Xue Minglang only felt a shock all over his body.

Seeing that he was about to step out, he stopped immediately, as if he was nailed to the ground. She couldn't help but raised her head and looked at Lu Jinxi.

Such a gentle face looks no different from the old days.

It's just a pair of eyes. It seems to be clearer and more translucent, and it seems to be more profound. If it was said that there was a layer of light sorrow, it is now a layer of mist, which makes people a little bit incomprehensible.

It's like her words.

The truth...

What does it mean?

Xue Minglang wanted to leave very much, but she vaguely felt that her mother had something important to say to herself today. Otherwise, my sister wouldn't have gone to great lengths today to let her eldest brother pull her here.

She should go, but she can't move.

Seeing this, Lu Jinxi remembered the quarrel with his eldest sister-in-law He Shi in this room before, and the troubles the other party had planted.

Now, she's pulling them out one by one.

"If you want to know about your mother and your father, come here."

She finally turned towards Xue Minglang, showing a warm smile, wanting to use this to smooth out the unease in her heart, and reached out to her again.

But Xue Minglang always resisted and looked at her outstretched palm, but was very vigilant and did not give her a hand.

She didn't want to, and of course Lu Jinxi didn't force it.

At the moment, he just smiled tolerantly, then took his hand back, and only let the egret carry some tea, fruit and cakes, and walked with him to the study.

Xue Minglang hesitated and followed.

It's completely dark outside.

There is a faint scent of ink in the study. Some of the things that Lu Jinxi bought outside today are also hung up. The chessboard that Gu Juefei sent is on the chess table.

"Sit."

Lu Jinxi sat on the Arhat bed by the window, and only pointed to the position opposite her to Xue Mingli who was approaching.

"I know you don't want to talk to your mother recently, but if there is something, I will tell you after all. You should also slowly reach the age where you can be sensible and able to distinguish right from wrong."

“…”

Xue Minglang's face was pink and pale, with no blood, and his lips were tightly pursed.

She took a look at Lu Jinxi, only to feel that there was so much clarity in her eyes that she couldn't escape.

After all, he sat down.

But still didn't say a word.

Obviously he was a very lively child.

This is going to be a cold war with her mother.

Lu Jinxi laughed, and only waved her hand to tell the maids to go out, and then said to her: "I know, I know that I am your mother, but if I don't know, I'm afraid that I'm your enemy. Now it's about remarrying. You are already like this without a single word of eight characters; if you really wait until you remarry, you mustn't turn against me for your father's sake?"

What a frivolous sentence?

But it fell into Xue Minglang's ears, it was like a thunderbolt, and she immediately widened her eyes, but she couldn't believe her ears, and she couldn't believe that these words came out of her mother's mouth!

Ever since she overheard her mother talking to Qingque, this matter has become a secret buried in Xue Minglang's heart.

She never dared to confide in others.

Even her sister Xue Minglang, who had always talked about everything, didn't dare to let her know.

If this matter spreads out, my mother may be criticized by thousands of people and reviled by thousands of people.

But now, she is so calm, she doesn't even take it seriously, and she speaks it out!

Xue Minglang was stunned, unable to recover for a long time.

Lu Jinxi was calm, and when she saw her like this, she couldn't help laughing: "Don't be so surprised, my mother knows that you should have known for some time. Today, I also want to be honest and have a good talk with you." /

Have a heart-to-heart talk?

This feeling is so strange that Xue Minglang is not very comfortable with it.

She felt that she should ask her out loud: How dare you say it like this, how can you be so calm and shameless...

But when the words came to her lips, she touched Lu Jinxi's eyes watching her, and she felt that these words were as sharp as swords.

And her mother has always been a very weak and vulnerable person.

After all, these questions were not spoken out.

When Xue Minglang opened his mouth, he only felt like there was sand stuck in his throat, a little awkward, a little stiff, and a little trembling: "...Then do you really want to remarry? The Song you told Sister Qingque Sir... who is it?"

I really know.

And it should be an overheard corner.

Calculating the time when Xue Minglang's attitude changed, it should be when Lu Shi told Qingque to send a letter to Song Zhiyan before she came, Xue Minglang learned about it.

But these are the minutiae.

Xue Minglang was willing to open his mouth, and this matter has already succeeded more than half.

Lu Jinxi said slowly: "The matter of remarriage is not possible at the moment, but who can say for sure in the future? I will tell you everything about Mr. Song. But before I say this. , can you also tell your mother honestly: Did your aunt tell you that women marry and obey their husbands, and if they remarry, they will be disobedient to women, and they will be flirtatious, they will no longer be your mother, and they will not want you anymore. ?"

"How does my mother know?"

Xue Minglang looked at her in surprise, but was also confused: What does He said, what does Lu Jinxi say today, have anything to do with it?

"The aunt said so, and Sister Pearl also thinks so, and the book she read also said so."

The most fearful thing is the subtlety.

As soon as he thought of the He family, Lu Jinxi's heart was full of evil fire, and he almost didn't suppress it. Hearing Xue Minglang's answer, he couldn't help but sneer: "There is her harm everywhere. Human beings!"

There is a bit of coldness in the words.

Xue Minglang heard it right away. Seeing Lu Jinxi's expression of condensed expression, he couldn't help but feel a little scared for a while: "Yes, did they say something wrong?"

"I don't know if it's right or not, but your great aunt has not read as many books as you in the past half of her life. Although she can read and write, she doesn't read any poetry, prose, and strategy."

Lu Jinxi's skill in hurting people is never bad.

If you want to smear, smear to death.

He's just a mere, modern, at best, he is just reading elementary school Chinese, and he dares to teach her daughter for her?

Let Xue Minglang teach her a lesson!

"Your aunt's father is only a small county magistrate. She has been to only a handful of places, and she has never seen the outside world from the sea of ​​thousands of books."

Lu Jinxi's voice sounded calm.

But I don't know why, there is a particularly attractive force that makes Xue Minglang unable to help wandering along with her voice.

"You have read "Overseas Travel Notes", "Three Hundred Poems" in silence, and "Mengzhai Transcripts", you know that there are Penglai overseas, you know the Jianjiayi people, and you understand the people's livelihood..."

"You are more than ten times better than your great aunt, why should you listen to her?"

A simple question was thrown out just like that.

There was no sense of being aggressive at all, but Xue Minglang's mind went blank. He only felt that Lu Jinxi's words seemed right.

When I went to play with Sister Pearl, I often couldn't read a few books. The only one that has been read is a copy of "The Ring of Women".

And when she read it for the first time, she actually didn't feel quite right.

But over time, I forgot.

"Mother means..."

She began to shake a little, and faintly sensed Lu Jinxi's meaning, but for a while it seemed like she was looking at flowers in the fog, and she didn't particularly understand.

"The emperor will not talk to villagers about the strategy of governing the country, and Hongru will not talk to illiterate beggars about poetry and books."

Lu Jinxi stared at her, her eyes softening gradually.

"You are my daughter, the granddaughter of Lu Jiuling, the Minister of Rites, and the jewel in the palm of the general Xue Kuang, the first lady of the general's residence. To read thousands of books, you have to travel thousands of miles. Is the door open?"

How beautiful is the scenery outside?

Luo Xia and Lonely Birds fly together, and the autumn water is the same color as the sky.

But Xue Minglang has never seen it before.

Hearing Lu Jinxi say this, she was already very stunned. She vaguely felt that what her mother said was contrary to what the aunt and sister Zhu said, but such scenery and life are so desirable, it is a huge temptation .

At this moment, she was unable to refute half a sentence.

There is a very hypocritical saying in the world: No one can stop people's natural desire for freedom.

Era is not a problem either.

The question is whether to awaken such a nature, and whether it has the ability to pursue and realize it.

It's just that Lu Jinxi won't talk too much about this. He just remembered his "Three Views Correction Plan" on paper.

The first step has been successfully completed.

Then...

"You just said that if you want to know who Mr. Song is, then my mother will tell you a story."

The night was dark.

The candlelight shook and cast Lu Jinxi's silhouette on the snow-white window paper, which was as cold and soft as her voice.

"This story begins more than ten years ago."

"At that time, the current Minister of Rites, Lu Jiuling, was only serving in the Hanlin Academy and was just promoted to the Minister of Rites. He had a daughter, just like you were here with your mother. Baby."

"Her name is Lu Jinxi."

One word, one word.

In the calm, there is a faint memory color, like a faded color painting.

When swallows fly, they are childhood sweethearts again.

Lu Jinxi told the story of the Lu family.

She puts herself entirely in the position of an objective, narrator, as if out of the way, with a subtle sympathy in her voice.

For Lu's destiny completely out of her own control.

This is a very old-fashioned, childhood sweetheart story.

But to a child like Xue Minglang who is only seven years old and doesn't know what love is, it's moving enough, and even enough to make her yearn.

The two little ones have no guesses and know each other well.

One is Lu Jinxi and the other is Song Zhiyan.

When I reached the age when I was in love, I gradually knew how to avoid suspicion.

But the more so, the stronger the emotion.

Blossoming before the moon, it's **** and polite, but with a little romantic sentiment.

For Lu Jinxi, putting together a few emotional and moving scenes couldn't be easier. When she spoke one by one, she saw that the expression on Xue Minglang's face had loosened.

Who can not be moved by such a relationship?

No one was wrong.

We have known each other since we were young, and we have the support and recognition of our parents. They should have been a very good couple.

Xue Minglang listened, but he didn't want to believe it at all.

But every detail in it is so real and so beautiful that people can't bear to break it at all.

But now Lu Jinxi is her mother, and her father is the general Xue Kuang.

An indescribable feeling rose in Xue Minglang's heart.

She stared fixedly at her mother, but found that there seemed to be a gleam of light in her eyes, like tears, but it disappeared in a flash.

On her face, there was a gentle smile that was the same as before.

Only the words came out with a little bit of melancholy: "They made a white-headed covenant to grow old together, and an oath of life and death. They swore in front of the old moon, never to be separated. Even, they soon Let's talk about marriage..."

Xue Minglang's heart was already clenched, and he even hoped that Lu Jinxi would not continue talking.

But the truth is always cruel.

Lu Jinxi said slowly: "But at this time, the new emperor, who had been on the throne for two years, suddenly issued an imperial decree, giving him a marriage to the young general of the Xue family, Xue Kuang. Twelve, but at the border, I have been in love with an orchid for a long time, and have already given birth to a son..."

What is the truth, she doesn't know.

At least for now, I'm too lazy to know.

She only knew that Xue Kuang's "emotional experience" was very beneficial to her current handling of Sister Lang's matter, so she used it.

Also, Sister Lang knew about this.

Xue Tingzhi's identity and origins are no secret in the capital. Even if the manor is secretive, the more secretive things are, the more they will be mentioned in private.

Just don't get the face.

One has a childhood sweetheart appointment and is about to get married; the other has a border relationship with Hu Ji and has a son.

Such two people were brought together by the imperial edict of marriage.

"Lord Lu was in a hurry at the beginning, and went to kneel in front of the palace gate for a long time, trying to persuade the emperor to take back his life, but in the end it was unsuccessful."

Lu Jinxi wanted to come, but also a little sighed.

"So, they got married in the end, but they never fell in love. At the end of the year, the general guarding the border rarely came back, so his wife had to wait at home, waiting for someone who didn't love her to come back, Look at their children..."

That should be Lu's most real idea, right?

Never fell in love.

Because she fell in love, Xue Kuang didn't.

Waiting for his return.

Because they also have children.

No emotion, but responsibility.

What kind of life do two people who are bound together like this live?

Lu Jinxi said later, her voice gradually blurred, she only looked at Xue Minglang, who had been stunned for a long time, and said softly: "In the first half of her life, she knew the appearance of happiness and the appearance of her sweetheart; For the rest of my life, I was imprisoned in this small courtyard, waiting for a husband who rarely returned home and will never come back now. Ming Lang, this person is your mother..."

At that moment, she was actually very emotional.

Although the Lu family is not very powerful, it should not have ended like this. Under such a tragedy formed by multiple wrestling, who should pay for this?

Lu Jinxi is also really not very clear.

When Xue Minglang raised her head, she could only see her expression of sadness or joy, with a kind of deep thought, which was different from any deep house woman she had ever seen before. .

She gave her a story she had never heard or even thought about.

Once, Xue Minglang only thought: How can my mother remarry, how can I betray my father, how can I abandon them?

But now, she knows...

It turns out that they don't love each other, it turns out that they both love each other, it turns out that this marriage was full of crying from beginning to end...

So she remembered her mother's long-term taciturnity, her mother's dislike of her contact with Xue Tingzhi, and her accidental trance when she saw Brother Chi as a child...

In the bottom of my heart, I felt sour and sour for a while, and I felt uncomfortable.

A lot of guilt came up all of a sudden, leaving her at a loss and a mess.

The tears suddenly fell.

Xue Minglang's eyes were red, his small shoulders shrugged, and he raised his sleeves to wipe, but he couldn't stop the tears that seemed to burst, and half of his sleeves were wet.

Lu Jinxi sighed in her heart, just got up, walked to her side, put her arms around her shoulders, let her lean on his arms, and comforted her gently: "It's okay, it's okay, my mother is still here. It's okay, Don't cry..."

It was fine that she didn't speak, but Xue Minglang cried even more when she spoke.

I can't help it at all.

Leaning in her arms, the teardrops kept falling, and the little hand stretched out to hug her waist, tightly, as if she was about to cry out of breath: "It's all, it's all because of Minglang's bad..."

Where can I blame her?

Lu Jinxi was speechless, but felt that the atmosphere was too sad, she couldn't help patting her on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "Don't cry, your face is going to cry. Mother is your grandfather's jewel, you She is also my mother's precious heart. Don't say that my mother has cut off contact with that Song Master now, and if she remarrys, she has really remarried, and I am also your mother."

The people of Xue Kuang have been dead for six years, and they can still pop out of the coffin. Can they marry a stepmother?

Stop teasing.

Don't say she doesn't have the idea of ​​marrying anyone yet. But her identity as their biological mother will not change.

Not to mention, there is also the support of the Yongning Princess on the side of the General's Mansion.

Where is it as hard as they think?

Lu Jin held Xue Minglang's top with her hand, trying to make her stop crying.

But Xue Minglang raised his head from her arms, his eyes were as red as rabbits, and he asked, "Why, why did you cut off contact with Master Song? Didn't my mother like him, like him..."

This kid...

Lu Jinxi was a little surprised. She lowered her eyes to meet Xue Minglang's, and already saw what she was thinking. Obviously moved by the story of the talented and beautiful childhood sweetheart, he actually wanted to get her and Song Zhiyan together.

She couldn't help laughing out loud, but she sighed and said calmly, "Of course my mother likes him, but that's all in the past. Now that he has a virtuous wife, my mother has already written to him, no I'll keep in touch with him again. Some things will never happen again if I miss them. My mother only hopes that Sister Lang can find someone she likes and live a good life."

Xue Minglang had no idea.

She didn't even know that Lu Jinxi had cut off contact with Song Zhiyan, or it was because of this reason that her eyes became hotter after hearing her second half sentence, and she was about to cry again.

"Really don't cry, such a good little beauty, she's crying like a big face."

Lu Jinxi really hates seeing the children cry.

She has no experience in coaxing, so she can only sit down, draw a handkerchief, wipe away the tears from Xue Minglang's face, and say, "You look good when you smile. Mother, can I tell you a new story?"

"New story?"

Xue Minglang was still sobbing, looking at her eagerly, but he didn't let go of her hand from her waist.

Lu Jinxi also left her alone and only told her the story of "The Sword of Longevity".

This is the first story told by Mr. Gu Long in "Seven Weapons", between a prodigal son named Bai Yujing and a woman named Yuan Zixia.

"Bai Yujing's sword, called the "Sword of Longevity", is the sharpest sword in the world. Yuan Zixia is a weak woman. Her weapon is not a sword, but a smile."

"Legend, the sharpest weapon in the world is no match for her smile..."

Lu Jinxi recalled and told it slowly.

The love entangled in many conspiracies and doubts, the mutual attraction after the encounter, and even the doubts and abandonment of doubts, are gradually becoming complete in her words.

"...At the end, Yuan Zixia said: As long as a person knows how to use his strengths, he can knock down people without using martial arts at all."

"Bai Yujing then asked her, what are your strengths?"

"Yuan Zixia laughed, it was so sweet and beautiful..."

Xue Minglang was stunned when he heard it, he couldn't help but put his hand on his tear-stained face, and said with a wink, "Then... what about the last? Is the Red Flag boss of the Blue Dragon Society really Yuan Zixia? ?"

"I don't know."

Lu Jinxi spread out his hands easily, and he was relieved to see that Xue Minglang had calmed down.

"Bai Yujing can never guess if Yuan Zixia is the youngest member of the Blue Dragon Club. But he doesn't need to guess. For him, the most important thing is that Yuan Zixia is by his side and will never leave. That's enough."

"Ah..."

Such an incomprehensible ending obviously made Xue Minglang a little confused.

But it does seem to be the case. Bai Yujing likes Yuan Zixia. What does it matter if she is the youngest member of the Red Dragon Club?

"Anyway, my mother told this story just to tell you, don't think too much, just smile more..."

She put her hands on Xue Minglang's pinkish little face, rubbed it, and felt that the hand felt pretty good, so she curled the corners of her lips with a gentle smile on her face.

"Our sister Lang is so beautiful, she must be prettier than Yuan Zixia when she smiles!"

Better than Yuan Zixia...

Xue Minglang blinked again, but her eyes were caught in Lu Jinxi's eyes, and she couldn't pull it back. She only felt that her mother's smile was the Yuan Zixia in the story, so touching that she could resist the sharpest sword in the world.

Just...

Who will be my mother's "Bai Yujing"?

She was actually a little ignorant, and felt that her thoughts seemed to be different from what was written in "The Ring".

But mother said, it doesn't need to be the same.

She is Xue Minglang, unique.

She wants her mother to be happy, just as she hopes she can find someone she likes to be with in the future.

Lu Jinxi's palm on her cheek was extremely warm.

She felt a little shy, but because her heart was completely settled now, there was no panic and panic, and there was a feeling that the world was suddenly clear, so she couldn't help but bend the corners of her lips.

This time, it's another lively and lovely Xue Minglang.

……

It was already midnight when I sent her back.

Xue Minglang said that she would go back to sleep with her sister, because her sister was afraid of the dark, and she didn't want Lu Jinxi to send her away, so she just told her to go to bed earlier, saying that she was not afraid of the dark.

When she was about to leave, she asked her with some pleading: "Mother, can Ming Lang tell my sister about today's story when I go back?"

So at that moment, Lu Jinxi remembered Xue Mingli that night, and how her two sisters looked when they slept together.

The bottom of my heart is soft and soft.

She nodded with a smile, only to reply: "Of course."

Xue Minglang left happily.

Lu Jinxi was sent to the door, watching the lantern that the maids gave her disappear into the corner, and stood for a while, before holding Qingque's hand and returning to her room.

As soon as people sit in front of the dressing table, they are already relaxed.

Once Sister Lang's matter is over, the rest is water mill work, and there is nothing particularly important in the mansion. She seems to be free to plan other things, or worry about that Gu Juefei...

Qing Que took off a few simple hairpins for her, and asked her with a smile, "What did you tell Sister Lang? When the slave servant saw her leaving, she smiled beautifully."

"Really?"

Lu Jinxi was in a trance for a moment, then raised her eyes and stared at the figure and face in the mirror. She remembered that story, so she bent her lip line little by little, one point, two points, three points.

The just right smile dispels the overly soft and light sadness on this face, and adds a little calmness and sharpness instead.

Almost perfect.

This is her smile.

"Just a few stories to tell..."
