I was Idle and Cool Chapter 88: Blind
This virtuous concubine is really strange.
Lu Jinxi was stunned that she didn't guess the slightest possible clue, and she didn't even understand where Wei Yi's phrase "a fool has a foolish blessing" came from.
Where did the Lu family have any "blessings"?
My childhood sweetheart was separated by an imperial decree from the new emperor. The newlywed husband not only did not love her, but also brought back a concubine from Orchid. Even widowed.
She is kind and weak, how can she support that huge general's mansion?
After years of sparring, I have long since lost my personal style. Otherwise, Lu Jinxi would not be here now.
When you say "a fool has a foolish blessing", it depends on the person.
For someone with a dashing personality, he naturally thinks it's a good thing to be promoted and rich, such as Lu Jinxi. One product is in hand, there are a lot of dowries in the family, and the titular husband is also dead. This is not a prostitution, ahem, no, whoever wants to sleep can sleep? Naturally happy.
If it can be replaced by someone else, it will cost people's lives.
If you don't change your position, you just say "foolish people have stupid blessings", but Wei Yi thinks she's smart and falls in Lu Jinxi's eyes, that's what she looks like.
She had some idea why she ended up in the palace.
Even if Wei Yi has some affection for Gu Juefei, Gu Juefei may not like her.
Standing in the same place for a while, Lu Jinxi was smacking, and suddenly became a little curious about what happened between the two. But at this time, she didn't think too much, just pretended that she didn't see anyone, didn't listen to anything, just followed her own direction and walked around to enjoy the flowers at will.
The banquet in the Rouyi Hall was scattered early, but the banquet in front of the Hall of Supreme Harmony had just arrived at the lively place.
The first one was before the emperor spoke with the envoys of the Xiongnu, but the following civil servants and military generals rarely had the opportunity to get together like this, and added a few "immortals in wine", except for a few who were not very happy Yes, the rest quickly fell apart.
Gu Juefei is naturally full of people here.
Surrounded by civil servants with low rank, and most of them admire Gu Juefei's talent and name, when he got the opportunity to persuade him to drink, Gu Juefei is used to acting in a tight manner, and he doesn't care whether the rank is low or high, and he can drink as much as he can.
It's just that when I'm almost done drinking, I get a little drunk.
Lu Jiuling, who used to be drinking with people in the small piece of the Ministry of Rites, saw it from a distance, and couldn't help but feel a little worried about him.
Thinking about turning back and wanting to draw this young man to the Ministry of Rites, he pondered for a moment, then said to the people around him: "You sit first, I have to persuade me a few words."
The people next to her were surprised, and they didn't understand what he was trying to persuade. They saw that Lu Jiuling had already left his seat and got up.
At this time, many people went to sober up and walk around, and few people noticed Lu Jiuling.
He walked all the way, and soon came to the vicinity of Gu Juefei, picked a seat and sat down, pulled out a wine cup, poured himself a glass, and said earnestly: "You are still young, drink this wine Too much, in the end it will hurt the body."
Gu Juefei is still drinking enough, but he is just slightly drunk.
This is the most comfortable state for drinking, and he didn't plan to drink it without hesitation. I just heard Lu Jiuling's voice, and I didn't expect it.
"Master Lu, why are you here?"
"Isn't it true that I saw you drinking endlessly from a long distance away, are you afraid that your young man is not in control?" Lu Jiuling touched him with the wine cup, "It's not a problem to borrow wine to relieve worries, You, as I said earlier, you really think about it."
Previously said...
Is it about going to work in the Ministry of Rites?
How fast is Gu Juefei's mind turning, he knows what Lu Jiuling is referring to without having to react. He didn't give a clear answer before, but he actually already had the answer in his heart.
I just didn't expect this old man to be so persistent?
I'm still worried about him. I'm afraid that he's trying to persuade himself by drinking alcohol.
At this moment, he felt a little warm in his heart, but the next moment he felt very cold, and even the temperature brought by the delicious wine in his stomach could not drive away this chill.
Looking at the wine cup that Lu Jiuling had touched in his hand, he smiled, then took it up and drank it.
"Also please don't worry, boss, I know what I have in mind. Besides, you are promoted, what should I worry about?"
"Hahaha..."
That's right, Lu Jiuling immediately became happy. He drank a lot himself, and he was already a little over the top. This time, he immediately took a picture of the table in front of him.
"That's right. Anyway, you were also taught by the old man, and you are a student in name. Your father is not doing this kindly. Don't worry, I will scold him for you later!"
Gu Juefei listened to the music at once, so he thought: "This is not good..."
"What's wrong with that?"
Lu Jiuling didn't realize that this was a trap. Hearing Gu Juefei's intention to block, she insisted on jumping down and waved directly at him.
"Where is the reason why I don't let my son be an official? I really don't know what he thinks. Anyway, I am a classmate with him. If nothing happens, you don't have to worry, it's on me."
Speaking, he poured himself another glass of wine and drank it with pride.
Gu Juefei looked at it and said nothing, but he was thinking about it in his heart, and he didn't know whether the old man was here to persuade him to drink, or to drink.
"Sir, please drink less."
"Haha, it's alright, I have an old bone and my body is still healthy." Lu Jiuling didn't take it seriously and smiled happily, "I am a person who is in good spirits when it comes to happy events. It is inevitable to drink two more glasses."
"Oh, there's a happy event?"
Gu Juefei's eyelids jumped inexplicably.
Lu Jiuling didn't hide it from him, but after all, it was not easy for too many people to hear, so she lowered her voice slightly: "My daughter is about to remarry! I am asking the eldest princess Yongning to help me see if it is suitable. the candidate.”
Is this the case?
Gu Juefei's eyelids twitched again, and he remembered the reaction of the other party when he offered himself up in front of Princess Yongning last time, and secretly became unhappy.
"Is that so? That's really a good thing, congratulations, boss, that your long-cherished wish has come true."
"You still know me!"
Lu Jiuling is really happy. She talked to Princess Yongning earlier, and the other party is very supportive. It seems that even if the General's House does not agree with his daughter's remarriage, it is not a big deal.
"Anyway, if this happens, then it will be my long-cherished wish. Hey, speaking of your age, it's time to start a family and start a business, right? How is it? Do you have any girls you fancy? ?"
Girls?
Gu Juefei wondered whether he would scare him if he wanted to tell the truth to Lu Jiuling, but he shook his head and said with a smile: "The girl's words, I don't like anyone."
He was looking at a woman from another family.
It is impossible for Lu Jiuling to hear the implication of this. Hearing Gu Juefei so much, he is worried about him: "You are not right, your vision is too high, and it is not good for you to live your life, you have to look at your appearance and personality. Choose girls based on your criteria, so there are not many girls in the world who can match you."
No, there are still some, but people don't want to.
Not only are they unwilling, but people just want to sleep and leave, and don't want to be responsible at all!
Speaking of which, it is strange, how could Lu Jiuling have such a sincere temperament to raise such a monster as Lu Jinxi?
Gu Juefei is actually a little puzzled when she thinks of this.
It's just for Lu Jiuling's face, so I definitely can't say this, so he said: "Boss, this is a misunderstanding of me, I feel that although my vision is high, it is not all others who are not worthy of me. I'm not in love, but people despise me."
"What?" These words shocked Lu Jiuling, and as soon as the wine glass was put down, she blurted out in surprise, "You don't even look down on you, what kind of girl is so blind?"
"Cough..."
The wine in his throat almost changed, Gu Juefei really didn't expect this "future" old man to look down on him so much, he wanted to laugh but didn't think it was very appropriate, so he hurriedly coughed.
Lu Jiuling still didn't know that the "blind girl" she was talking about belonged to her own family. Seeing that he was choking, she hurriedly came to help him, without any pretense of senior officials and elders.
"Take it easy, take it easy, I'm counting on you to come back to the Ministry of Rites to help me."
There are two old men and one young man. One is sincere and sincere and doesn't think much about it. The other has ten thousand eyes in his stomach.
But this time it's good, three or two sentences are smashed into one piece.
The people next to him looked at him, for fear that those who didn't know they thought Lu Jiuling was Gu Juefei's father-in-law, so he took extra care of him.
Princess Yongning had just had a drink with the emperor, and was thinking of leaving the table to find a quiet place to blow the air and sober up. Who would have thought that Yiyi would come and see Gu Juefei sitting and drinking with Lu Jiuling!
This time, my eyelids jumped, my feet were unstable, and I almost fell!
At the beginning, Gu Juefei recommended himself in front of her! Not to mention that he even took Xue Kuang's posthumous son as a student in a wicked way!
How could she not see his thoughts clearly?
It's so obvious!
Now, I just went to sit with Lu Jiuling without making a sound. Seeing that the old man and the young man are still chatting together?
Although Princess Yongning is not the kind of person who thinks bad about everything, but this object is not necessarily when Gu Juefei is.
She only felt that Gu Juefei must be thinking about something.
Recently, Lu Jiuling also mentioned that Lu Jinxi should remarry, so please help me plan some points. He can be considered to have watched Gu Juefei grow up, and he has always praised the eldest son of the Gu family...
I dare not ask him to sit with Gu Juefei all the time!
Don't say that Gu Juefei's mind is deeper than the sea, that is, he had no purpose at all, and Princess Yongning didn't want Lu Jiuling to have a good impression of Gu Juefei.
With such a change in her mind, she followed her footsteps and walked towards Lu Jiuling.
"Master Lu, why are you drinking here?"
There was a slight smile on her face, and at the same time, she glanced at Gu Juefei, who was silent on the side, with a hint of warning. Princess Yongning stopped and stood in front of the two of them.
Lu Jiuling didn't expect Princess Yongning to come to greet her. She was a little surprised for a while, and then she stood up with a smile and cupped her hands: "I just want to see Jean here first, think of something, come here. Talk to him."
"Oh..."
Eldest Princess Yongning listened, only to feel the alarm bell in her heart, and scolded Gu Juefei for being sinister and despicable, and even the corners of her eyes twitched slightly before she thought of the next words.
"I saw you in their group, and I thought something was going on, so I came to see. Now I can rest assured that everything is fine. You, don't sit here for too long, there is also the Ministry of Rites over there. Your colleagues are waiting for you."
"It's okay to do anything, and I didn't sit for a long time." Lu Jiuling didn't hear what Princess Yongning was saying, she just thought that this princess was a good person, cared for herself, and was a little moved, "Talk to them. I've been drinking for a round, but let me come here first, I've always complained for him. You say, what is the matter with Master Taishi? It's really unkind to do this."
When Princess Yongning heard this, her head became big.
She didn't expect that Lu Jiuling would sincerely complain for Gu Juefei! This elbow just turned to someone else's house!
Looking at Gu Juefei next to him, he didn't speak, but after hearing Lu Jiuling's words, he just took the wine glass and took a sip, the smile on his face...
Hey!
Hypocritical!
Hypocritical!
Eldest Princess Yongning only felt that the whole person was not very good, and she couldn't even hold the smile on her face very much. She scolded Gu Juefei a thousand times ten thousand times in her heart, and turned to Lu Jiuling with a friendly face.
"You still have to ask the old master about this. Hey, the master is here too?"
As she spoke, she turned her head and saw a familiar figure.
It turned out to be Gu Chengqian, who was originally sitting in the top position, came over!
He was probably drinking there too, and saw the situation here by chance. It is clear that his legs and feet are not neat, but when he came over, the speed was not slow, as if there was some anger. Yi Zhang's wrinkled face was blue in color, and his lips were tightly pursed, looking a little scary.
Lu Jiuling heard the voice of Princess Yongning, so she looked up and saw Gu Chengqian.
Just seeing his face is not very good, he is a little strange: "Why did Brother Gu come here? What happened?"
"No big deal."
Gu Chengqian and Lu Jiuling have always been good friends, and they are not against this friend when they have a temper, so when they said this, they forced a smile.
But when he looked at Gu Juefei, there was no warmth in those old eyes.
Of course Gu Juefei saw it, but the absurd feeling in his heart was born again. On the one hand, he felt sad and ironic, and on the other hand, he found it funny.
From Princess Yongning to his biological father, everyone guards him more than thieves!
I just sat here and chatted with Lu Jiuling for a few words. Before they said anything, they became so nervous. I don't know what to talk about in the future.
Lu Jinxi ah Lu Jinxi...
It is his fate and his calamity, but unfortunately he is "blind", and he is not stupid at all, and it is not easy to cheat home.
He thought about it, and only glanced back at Gu Chengqian.
Faced with Gu Chengqian, who was much higher in rank than his own, even his biological father, he was sitting there without any intention of getting up, let alone addressing him.
If I didn't know, I'm afraid I would think that the two of them are political enemies who fight to the death in the court.
Eldest Princess Yongning looked at it, and felt a little uncomfortable in her heart for no reason. She sighed, but there was nothing she could do.
Gu Chengqian was completely disappointed with this eldest son the night when Gu Juefei threatened to marry Lu Jinxi. He didn't say hello, and he didn't bother to answer him.
At the moment, he just stretched out his hand to help Lu Jiuling over: "I saw Brother Lu from a distance, and suddenly I remembered that maybe you and I haven't had a drink together in a long time. Why don't you come over and have a drink."
"Hey, this is just right!" Lu Jiuling clapped her hands when she heard this, and while looking back at Chengqian, she talked to Gu Juefei, "I really can't help but want to talk to you. Let me go first. , you can remember not to drink any more, I'll chat with your father."
Gu Juefei smiled, got up and bowed his hands to him: "Please rest assured, Mr. Juefei, remember and dare not drink any more."
From the demeanor, to the look, to the tone, it's really a zhilanyushu, and I can't pick out the slightest mistake.
Lu Jiuling admired from the bottom of her heart when she saw it, waved her hand and walked away, turning her head to praise Gu Chengqian: "Hey, Brother Gu, I really envy you for raising such a good son."
Gu Chengqian recalled that scene, but felt like a needle in his heart and couldn't even speak.
The two elders left together, returning to their own seats shortly after.
When others saw it, they only thought that Lu Shangshu, a previously unremarkable man from the Ministry of Rites, had suddenly become popular, and it was enough for Mr. Gu to talk to him. It didn't take long for the eldest Princess Yongning to come, and now even Mrs. Gu The teacher came to walk with him in person!
Strange, what's going on here?
Many people don't understand.
But Princess Yongning and Gu Juefei, who were standing in the same place, understood it better than anyone else.
As soon as the person left, the smile on Princess Yongning's face gradually disappeared. She only stared at him with those deep eyes, and her tone was an undisguised warning: "Gu Juefei, Gu Da Gongzi, You are full of sins, so let Mr. Lu enjoy his old age. If you tell him what you did in the past, let him tell him how to treat Mr. Taishi?"
After all, Gu Juefei was the real mastermind behind the Hanshan Pass battle, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he was the "initiator".
It was he who plotted to kill Xue Kuang and let him die on the battlefield with no bones left; he was also the one who made Lu Jinxi kill his husband and widow; and it was he who made the children of the general's house disappear when they were young Father...
Although Lu Jiuling admires him, if he knows all this and knows that he made his daughter suffer, can he still tolerate him?
Princess Yongning thinks, I'm afraid not.
She has said it very clearly, and she doesn't think Gu Juefei can't guess the cause and effect connection. But she didn't expect that after hearing what she said, he actually laughed.
"What do you think? Lu Jiuling is a person with a clear-cut right and wrong. I don't think it's too late for him to be happy. The eldest princess is just worried and worried too much."
"You!"
She knew that Gu Jue was not good at speaking, but she seldom argued with others, but she never thought that one day she would experience the feeling of being mocked by him!
At this time, I forgot what I should say.
Gu Juefei didn't care so much anymore, he threw his hands at her and said, "You can't stop what I want to do", then smiled, turned around and walked out of the table.
Princess Yongning stood there, his chest heaving with anger.
At this moment, I felt that Gu Juefei was really hateful!
Where can she think of what Gu Juefei is thinking?
If ordinary people knew that he made their daughter a widow, they would definitely hate him; but the root cause of Lu's tragedy was not Gu Juefei.
He did Xue Kuang's death; but what happened to the Lu family originated from the emperor and Xue Kuang!
In just three or two sentences, Gu Juefei could feel that Lu Jiuling was very displeased with Xue Kuang.
Despite his reputation, in the eyes of outsiders, he is a great general who will not be defeated in a hundred battles. But in Lu Jiuling's eyes, he was a "shameless" "courageous man". It was the wife who had raised Orchid outside as a concubine before she even entered the door, and brought her concubine back to her daughter's shameless bastard. The ruthless man who made her suffer from the pain of the inner house!
With that appearance, he almost pushed him to the front of Xue Kuang's clothing tomb, and pointed at his tablet and scolded him.
I am afraid that when Xue Kuang died, he regretted a few words out of the righteousness of the family and the country, but in private, he might not have clapped his hands and shouted "Well died".
Now that his daughter is willing to remarry, he is as happy as the Chinese New Year.
Princess Yongning actually said that Lu Jiuling would hate Gu Juefei after learning the truth? That is really too ignorant of this old man.
Gu Juefei paced out, and before he knew it, he had already reached the gate of the palace. When he looked up, the sky was blue, recalling how they looked like beasts guarding against floods, he couldn't hold back, he shook his head and sighed.
There is a strong aroma of wine in the air.
He smelled it immediately, turned his head along the aroma of the wine, and saw Fang Shaoxing who was sitting by the side drinking.
There are already quite a few small wine jars on the ground.
Fang Shaoxing was also turning his head to look at Gu Juefei, as if he was a little curious as to why he, one of the people at the banquet, ran back to the gate of the palace and stood here sighing.
But he didn't say anything, he just sat on the ground with one leg outstretched and the other crossed.
Gu Juefei's gaze swept over the silver spear leaning against the door wall and seemed to fall at any moment, and his mind moved.
But he didn't ask what he brought this thing for. Seeing him drinking, he just laughed and walked up to him and said, "Can I borrow two?"
The scar at the corner of the eye still vaguely still has the ferocious taste of the past.
Fang Shaoxing just looked at Gu Juefei like this, and he didn't know whether he recognized him or didn't know who he was. Only the wine jar was thrown to him.
Gu Juefei took it in his hand, thanked him, opened the mud seal and took a sip.
Fang Shaoxing raised his eyebrows and asked, "How?"
Gu Juefei only felt that the wine was very strong, and it burned to the bottom of his heart at once. It burned hot and hot somewhere in the depths of his heart, so he watched the wine for a long time, and it was rare to be proud: "Good wine!"
"Hahaha, I thought you were weak scholars and couldn't drink."
Fang Shaoxing laughed, then ignored him, just drinking and looking at the west-sloping sun in the sky, waiting for the hour he was waiting for.
There is no one in front of the Taiji Temple, and no one will be held accountable.
Princess Yongning doesn't care where Gu Juefei went, she just thought of Lu Jinxilai again. There is also a man-eating Wei Yi in the harem. I don't know if it was disturbed by Gu Juefei's talented attitude, but she couldn't let it go.
After thinking for a while, I simply walked towards the Imperial Garden.
In this palace, she has always been unobstructed. Seeing her leaving the table and heading towards the harem, no one would dare to stop her.
The palace servants carried her on the shoulders and arrived at the Imperial Garden in a matter of minutes.
It's a coincidence that Lu Jinxi was still near the corner where he used to be.
So Princess Yongning saw her as soon as she came.
People pressed her shoulders, she got down and walked over to Lu Jinxi and asked her, "Are you okay?"
"My niece has seen my aunt."
Lu Jinxi thought she was in the front court and wouldn't go back, but when she saw her, she was a little surprised, hurriedly saluted, and then got up to answer.
"Everything is fine, nothing happened."
"Wei Yi didn't make things difficult for you, did he?"
Princess Yongning asked a direct question, and said that she glanced in the direction of Weiyi in front of her.
When Lu Jinxi heard this, she was a little startled.
Why do you think Princess Yongning's question has a strange smell?
From what Wei Yi said to herself, she could feel it. She and Wei Yi had nothing to do with each other, and there was no grudge. How could the eldest princess ask this?
She thought secretly, but pretended that she didn't hear anything, and replied in a proper manner: "The concubine Xian is very good, and she didn't embarrass her niece."
That's fine.
In those days between Gu Juefei and Wei Yi, Princess Yongning naturally knew something. Now Gu Juefei doesn't know which one is cramping, she wants to marry Lu Jinxi, and she is naturally worried about what Wei Yi will do to Lu Jinxi.
"It's fine, Wei Yi isn't something to be with, anyway, you should stay away."
"Yes."
Actually, Lu Jinxi didn't think that Wei Yi was very difficult to get along with, but if she really had something to do with Gu Juefei, and if she couldn't even ask for it, she probably really wanted to chop herself up.
After all, others regard her as a treasure, but she just wants to sleep, not marry.
Princess Yongning said this based on her understanding of the Lu family, right?
Lu Jinxi did not refute, but obeyed obediently.
I didn't have anything to say, but suddenly I remembered something, so I thought about it and said, "Speaking of which, I have something I want to ask my aunt..."
"Huh?" Princess Yongning rarely sees her like this, it's a little strange, "You said."
"It's like this..."
"My aunt also knows that the general once brought home a concubine born to an orchids and named it Xue Tingzhi. Now the son is seventeen or eighteen, and he is also familiar with poetry and books."
"It's just that the border was bitter and cold, his womb was insufficient, and his legs and feet were sick..."
Lu Jinxi expected that Princess Yongning knew about Xue Tingzhi's situation, so she said it simply, and then changed the story.
"According to the imperial examination system of this dynasty, he is disabled and has the blood of the Hu people, so he is not eligible to participate."
"But he was born like this, and he can't practice martial arts. How can he get married and start a business in the future? His niece has a heart for learning, so I came to ask you for advice. I don't know-"
"Is there a way to accommodate?"
This last sentence is said with extreme caution.
After she finished speaking, she buried her head, as if she was afraid of offending something.
Princess Yongning didn't expect that she was going to ask for advice on this matter, and her brows were instantly furrowed.
She wanted to say that Xue Tingzhi was just a concubine, and it really wasn't worth her worrying about. But on second thought, this niece rarely asks for help, but now she has the courage to ask herself, she must have thought about it, and really wants to find a way out for this son-in-law.
He's a concubine, and he has Xue Kuang's blood on his body...
"Hey, I really don't know what to say about you." Princess Yongning finally couldn't hold back a sigh and said after a moment of indulgence, "The imperial examination system is a matter of national origin, and it is not something that can be determined by this palace. If you really want to ask, I will say something to the emperor for you when I return to the table in a while, whether it succeeds or not is hard to say."
"Thank you auntie!"
Lu Jinxi hurriedly bowed and saluted, as if very grateful.
But Princess Yongning waved her hand and said: "There is nothing to thank, you must know that this palace may not be helping you, or it may be harming you. This concubine's identity is inherently sensitive, you just ask Don't lose your temper when the emperor looks back, take your anger on the general's mansion."
"My aunt can help, and my niece is very satisfied, but please do her best."
Actually, Lu Jinxi wasn't worried at all.
Although this Qing'an Emperor Xiao Che is not a monarch of the ages, he is not stupid, not to mention that he has just negotiated peace with the Xiongnu, so he should not be so disgusted with the blood of the foreign race. As long as this matter is mentioned in front of the emperor, it should be the majority.
Princess Yongning didn't take this matter to heart, and didn't think so deeply, she just said: "I asked the emperor first, and if there is news, I will have someone come to hand it to you, don't leave too early ."
"Yes."
Lu Jinxi responded, and after saying a few more words, she watched Eldest Princess Yongning get on the shoulder and go to the front hall. Thinking of the older concubine who was kneeling in front of him that day, he couldn't help but let out a low sigh.
"That's all I can do..."
