I was Idle and Cool Chapter 9: Children’s business

"Madam, please come in."

The maid who was guarding outside opened a thick curtain.

When Mr. Ye heard the sound, he gathered his thoughts and turned to look.

Seeing this, I was a little surprised.

It's not bad that Lu Jinxi came.

The body is slender and looks a little pale, but the skin is as transparent as snow, as if carved from a natural piece of suet jade, and the delicate facial features are more carefully traced by skilled craftsmen.

He has a warm and dazzling expression.

"Mrs. Shizi, I'm sorry."

A soft voice, like a cloud floating in the sky.

Everything seems to be the same as before, but Ye Shizhen almost didn't recognize her.

They met in the past, but now they feel that the other party has changed too much. It seems that the continuous rainy day will clear up at once, which makes people feel comfortable, but also makes people feel overwhelmed.

He was surprised for a while, and Ye Shi was almost in a trance and was in shock.

Fortunately, she has been dealing with affairs in the mansion for a long time, and she has cultivated a bit of courage to not be frightened.

Seeing Lu Jinxi's greeting, she hurriedly took three or two steps up and held her hand: "Where, why does Madam see the outside like this? I don't think about you in my heart. I haven't seen you for a long time, and you are more beautiful. In the past, I am ashamed to see it...please sit here."

As he spoke, he pulled Lu Jinxi to the side of the heated kang by the window.

Lu Jinxi got up and didn't pretend to be polite.

Although Mrs. Shizi's status is expensive, her first-class official life is not a decoration.

Just now, she and Bailu came all the way from the General's Mansion. Seeing that the maids who waited, communicated, and led the way were all cleaned up, the mansion was also in good order, and she was full of admiration for this noble lady.

Egret said that the Ye family is the direct daughter of Ye Qi, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, and she is shrewd.

A huge British government is in her hands, and she hasn't had any trouble for several years.

Lu Jinxi thought it was about the children. Today, even if she doesn't sit on the bench, she's afraid she won't get Ye's good looks.

Unexpectedly, Mr. Ye's attitude was surprisingly kind.

She is dressed in an azurite long jacket with narrow sleeves, with white fox fur trimming, and her black hair is tied into a cloud bun. Although she has a medium figure and a delicate face, she has the grace of a lady of a noble family.

It's just that this look is a bit complicated.

Say sigh, there is sigh; there is embarrassment, there is embarrassment;

Lu Jinxi remembered the other party's attitude towards him, and also remembered that neither of the two could ask the reason for the fight, so he gradually had a guess in his heart, but he didn't speak, and followed Ye's inside.

The house smells of bitter medicine.

There is an autumn scented golden thread python lead pillow on the heated kang, two brocade mattresses are set against each other, and a small mahogany square table is placed in the middle. The top is the same as Lu Jinxi's warm pavilion, and there are many bottles and bottles. The jars, as well as the three prescriptions that were written not long ago, exuded the aroma of pine smoke ink.

Lu Jinxi recognized that the ghost-painted talisman-like handwriting was left by the ghost-hand Zhang.

"Please take a seat."

Mr. Ye waved her hand and asked her to sit on the east side of the Ondol.

Lu Jinxi hesitated a little, but sat down, knowing that this was the etiquette of the host to treat guests.

After she was seated, Mrs Ye also sat across from him, and only stretched out her hand and gestured to the side: "Dingfang, why don't you come over and say hello to Aunt Lu?"

As early as when Lu Jinxi came in, Luo Ding conveniently got down from the kang and stood up.

At this moment, when Mr. Ye called, his face paled and he trembled for a while before walking up to Lu Jinxi and bowing to greet him: "Hello, Aunt Lu."

A little stuttering and a low voice.

"My arm hurts, what kind of salute?"

Lu Jinxi knew that the two children were playing well, and it was okay to call "Auntie", but when she looked at each other, she couldn't help frowning.

This second son of the Duke's Mansion looks older and taller than Brother Chi, but he is too thin. However, with clear eyes and beautiful eyes, he has a bookish aura.

Just now, his left arm is wrapped in a thick layer.

Needless to say, this is Brother Chi's "masterpiece".

The kid made a fuss and told himself not to apologize. It can be seen that he looks like this, and he can't justify him if he doesn't apologize, right?

He felt helpless, Lu Jinxi thought about it and said, "I didn't expect what happened today. Brother Chi usually makes troubles, but he never broke through such a big disaster. At that time, I was still in the Jokhang Temple, so I could only send people and horses first. Please come to see Doctor Zhang. I just returned to the mansion first, Haosheng has prepared some things, and came to check on the second son's situation, and I hope Madam Shizi's forgiveness."

The egret heard this, and with great discernment, she attracted the maids who were holding the trays and offered them all the precious medicinal herbs.

Ye looked at Lu Jinxi first.

In the past, anyone could ridicule a sentence or two of the imperial court's first-ranked lady, but now her face was pale, and she couldn't see the depth of the truth, and it was even more difficult to distinguish the authenticity of her attitude.

She just felt vaguely that the other party didn't seem to be there to hold him accountable.

"These are all the medicinal materials that Curry found. I know that there is no shortage of anything in the palace, but it's just a little bit of my heart..."

Lu Jinxi said while observing Ye Shi's demeanor.

After listening to her words, she glanced at the egret.

The trays are filled with precious medicinal herbs, including ginseng and ganoderma lucidum. There is no shortage of them. They must all be really good things. I want to apologize sincerely.

Actually, the attitude of the general's mansion can be seen by looking at the ghost hand Zhang.

"It's hard for Madam to be so caring and caring about my family. It's just..." Halfway through, Mrs Ye couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook her head, "It's just these things, but I don't dare to accept them."

A few maids from the General's Mansion immediately shuddered with fright.

It is the egret, and his heart is also "squeaky", only knowing that the British government will be embarrassed to the end, I am afraid it will be difficult!

It was Lu Jinxi, who was sitting close enough to see Ye Shi's expression very clearly.

Since entering the room, Mrs Ye's attitude was different from what she had imagined at first. She also asked Luo Dingfang to call her "Auntie". She had some guesses in her heart, so she didn't speak at the moment.

A few incomprehensible light and shadow flashed in Mrs Ye's eyes, looking at Lu Jinxi: "Since the two schools opened, Brother Chi and Dingfang have been playing together, and I am very happy. Something happened suddenly today. , I'm just like you, I didn't expect it. As soon as I picked him up, I asked him carefully and asked him to explain. Who would have thought that he was so stubborn and refused to say a word to me."

This is the same as the previous report from Friday's home, and Lu Jinxi knows it.

Ye looked at Luo Dingfang again.

Before Lu Jinxi entered the room, the mother and son had already talked, so Luo Dingfang seemed to know what his mother was going to say at the moment, so he just buried his head and clenched his left hand tightly to his right.

This appearance made Ye Shi's heart feel a little distressed, which made it even more complicated.

Just what should be said, and what should be said.

She sighed: "He is the flesh that fell out of my stomach, and I know what kind of virtue he is. If he was right, he would be beaten up like this, crying and grabbing the ground, how could he be like this? Quiet?"

This time, Lu Jinxi was a little surprised.

She looked at Ye Shi, and then at Luo Dingfang, only to feel that she didn't understand and couldn't say such words.

It seems that Brother Chi really has a secret since he started to do it?

In fact, Mrs Ye's heart softened for a moment, but in the end, she was still heartbroken. She touched Luo Dingfang's head, and Shen Su said, "Mother has already said everything that needs to be said, and now your Aunt Lu is here. Here, let's talk about it."

“…”

Luo Dingfang stood on the edge of the carpet, raised his head timidly, glanced at Lu Jinxi, his delicate little face suddenly flushed red.

Because of the tension, his fingers tightened, his chest was constantly heaving, and even his breathing was chaotic.

He was apprehensive and frightened.

Everything that happened while playing chess in Xue Zhai flashed through his mind again, making him so ashamed that he wanted to dig a hole and bury himself.

But now, I have to say it in front of his mother and brother Chi...

Really, can it be said?

He remembered the agreement between himself and Brother Chi, struggling and embarrassed.

It took a long time before he regained his courage, and he said to Lu Jinxi, "Lu, Aunt Lu, it's all my fault. When playing chess with Brother Chi, I, I... "

Seeing that he didn't speak for a long time, he hesitated and stumbled when he opened his mouth.

Ye's complexion finally sank slowly. She painted Kou Dan's nails and dug into the carved gaps of the mahogany square table. She couldn't help but started to reprimand him: "Hurry up—"

But at this moment...

"Stop talking."

The soft voice was actually opened by Lu Jinxi, who had not spoken for a long time.

Shi Ye was shocked, surprised and puzzled, but she felt relieved at the same time: "Madam, you..."

Lu Jinxi looked at Ye Shi with clear eyes, and naturally saw her delicate expression in his eyes, and his heart was like a mirror.

Even if Luo Dingfang didn't speak, she already knew who was right and wrong.

But brother Chi didn't want to confide a word to her, for fear that she didn't want her to know. Now she heard it from the second son of Luo, and turned back to let brother Chi know, but she didn't know how to toss.

Ye forced the child to make it clear in front of her, just to give her an explanation.

But, what needs to be explained, where is she?

"I don't really care why they fight."

Lu Jinxi's voice was gentle, and she turned to look at Luo Dingfang, only to see him staring blankly at her, as if she couldn't believe what she said.

So, she smiled slightly, and continued: "In the affairs of adults, children will not interfere; in matters of children, adults will not interfere. Today's affairs are the affairs of the second son and Xue Chi's bastard. It has nothing to do with me. So, if I don't ask, Second Young Master doesn't have to tell me."

Shi Ye was stunned, only to feel that these words were really unheard of, never seen before.

Where is it that Lu Jinxi should have said?

Luo Dingfang opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but as soon as he looked up, he saw Lu Jinxi's glint in her eyes, with a gentle and soothing smile, very bright.

For a second, I was speechless.

Lu Jinxi looked as usual.

She sat upright, as warm as jade, and only quietly winked at Luo Ding Fang Hui: "If the second son thinks he really should say something, aunt thinks, when you get back to heal your injuries and go to school, yourself Tell Brother Chi, how is it?"
