I was Idle and Cool Chapter 97: Goodbye Song Zhiyan

The matter related to Gu Juefei spread all over the capital almost immediately.

Who doesn't marvel at his ups and downs over the past two days?

The day before, he was pinned down by his father, the old lady.

All the recommendations from others have been passed, and none of them are stronger than Gu Juefei, but they have to live and die not to let their own son do it. That posture, it seems that he does not want to let him enter the office!

But who would have thought that Lu Jiuling, the old lady's good friend, would promote someone the next day.

In front of the emperor, in front of the civil and military people of the dynasty, I scolded my friends for not telling me, and I almost tore my face because of the conflicting opinions on this matter.

After a lot of hard work, Gu Juefei finally joined the Ministry of Rites.

In all fairness, the official position of the head of the Lifan Hall is not high, and he is only a true sixth-rank. Compared with Gu Juefei's original sixth-rank when he was in the Qing Gui Hanlin Academy, it is actually only half a rank higher.

To win is to have power.

Some people think it's a fat job, and some people think it's a hard job. Overall, it looks pretty underwhelming.

Many people can't figure out what to do in this position.

The arguments of others are only out of ignorance.

Like Lu Jinxi, who can see the depth at a glance, and knows more about Gu Juefei's details, has already wisely shut his mouth.

On this day, there is actually quite a lot of news from the DPRK.

In addition to Gu Juefei's case, Fang Shaoxing's sudden gift is also worth pondering.

The matter has to start from the next court, when the emperor went to the paddock to hunt, I heard that he encountered a little danger, and was blocked by Fang Shaoxing, who was accompanying him.

So just like that, I suddenly lost a "rescue power", so I transformed into a first-class bodyguard, and was specially given to the Ministry of War to walk, and also rewarded a bunch of real money.

A few days ago, the old men who worked so hard to get Fang Shaoxing to participate, their noses were crooked.

This is not only hitting them in the face, but also hitting the Xiongnu envoys in the face.

You know, this guy only made trouble at the gate of the palace yesterday. The emperor fined him his salary on the spot, saying "small punishments and big admonitions", and the next day he gave a more generous reward and even made him an official. .

Even the walking of the Ministry of War was specially given, which made it clear that Fang Shaoxing wanted to join the Ministry of War in the future.

I heard that when Li Liang, Minister of War, received the decree, his face was all black, and he couldn't say a word. When the little father-in-law who passed the decree left, he immediately dropped the teacup.

But it doesn't help.

Who can change the emperor's idea?

Manchu civil and military, it was called "Broken teeth and swallowed blood in the stomach". For a while, he didn't even bother to pay attention to the matter before and after the discussion, and started to pick Fang Shaoxing's thorns with all his heart.

This time Xiao Che can relax for a while.

Lu Jinxi only heard about the Egret when she was lying down at night. She only felt that her initial hunch was accurate, and Princess Yongning's judgment was more accurate.

Other than that, I didn't feel anything else.

She covered the quilt and slept, and after a while, she entered Heitian Township.

She stood up just after dawn the next day.

I took care of all the trivial things in the house. I read the list of gentlemen that Pan Quan'er ran errands, and circled a few reliable ones. I asked Pan Quan'er to prepare a few gifts and invitations, and invite them to come to the house tomorrow. last trip.

After that, I packed up and went out the door.

The Mingyue Building is located near Liulichang, outside the inner city.

There are basically places where literati gather, so the theater is very popular. In addition, there are many dignitaries' mansions in the inner city directly opposite, so people with status often come here.

Over time, it has become a prosperous and rich place in Beijing.

In the past, Lu Jinxi's car had been here, and he didn't care much, and passed by in a flash. Today, it was her first time here, and she saw it clearly.

The pillars outside the building were painted red.

The floor was swept clean and spotless, and the well-dressed maids walked among them, and there was also a young lady who added tea to entertain the guests warmly.

At this time, there are not many people.

As soon as Lu Jinxi brought people, the people waiting at the door saw it immediately.

Even if you don't recognize her, you can see that she is not an ordinary person just by looking at her dress and the style of these servant girls.

So the attitude is very respectful: "The theater is about to start in the afternoon, so I will prepare a private room for you?"

I don't even ask if I'm sitting in the lobby, I just say "a private room".

Lu Jinxi smiled and said, "Yesterday let someone come to the number two with the yellow letter. Let's lead the way."

"Oh, it turned out to be a distinguished guest from the General's Mansion."

Little Er just woke up at this moment, guessed what Lu Jinxi's identity was, and was shocked. The originally enthusiastic smile turned out to be a little more real, and he waved his hand to lead the way.

"Please come in."

Lu Jinxi took a step and followed.

Because there are a lot of dignitaries here, many people don't think much of it when they see her. After all, this is a place to listen to a play. Anyone can come, and it's not surprising that anyone comes.

So not long after, she was already sitting in the private room by the side of the stage.

The railings are carved with cranes and bamboos, and outside is the stage.

A beaded curtain hangs down, specially prepared for guests who don't want to be seen, to block the sight of outsiders. Of course Lu Jinxi didn't want to be seen too clearly, so the bead curtain was immediately put down.

After ordering a few meals, she sent away the outsiders who served her, leaving only the green sparrow.

The appointment time with Song Zhiyan was in the afternoon, so she came early.

As for Song Zhiyan, don't worry, Yin Liu'er, who had taken care of this matter for her at the beginning and received her favor, brought her.

No, it's actually "Lu Yin" now.

There is a plate of sunflower seeds on a round table of lacquer wood carvings of rosewood and pear wood in front of him.

Lu Jinxi didn't even watch the Huangmei play that was on the stage, but in the babbling voices in the hall, one after another was nibbling on melon seeds, as if he couldn't see Qingque's anxious expression at all.

Not long after, there was a knock on the door.

"Ma'am, someone's here."

It's Yin Liu'er's voice.

Since that incident was over, he entered the infantry falcon camp, and when others saw him, they had to call him "Lord Lu" respectfully, but when he was facing Lu Jinxi, his attitude was not high. even very low.

Just hearing this voice made Lu Jinxi appreciate him.

It is very valuable to know yourself in your heart.

The palms of Qingque next to him were sweating, but Lu Jinxi remained calm, took the silk towel on the table and wiped his hands before saying, "Please come in."

The outside door opened a crack.

The one who came first was not Yin Liu'er who just reported outside the door, but the man who stopped Lu Jinxi on the palace road after the end of the peace conference that day.

Song Zhiyan.

Removing his official uniform, he is only wearing a simple sky blue uniform today.

People are clean and refined.

Just the look on his face, there is an indescribable trance. After seeing him in the palace the day before yesterday, he was absent-minded for the next two days, and even made frequent mistakes in his work.

Today, he also doesn't know what Lu Jinxi, or the woman who was holding Lu Jinxi's body, came to find him.

The steps are slow, a little stagnant.

His eyes fell on Lu Jinxi's body, and the sad look on his face almost instantly surfaced.

If he returned to the mansion after the palace banquet that day, he still had such a bit of luck, and felt that he might have admitted his mistake, then at this moment, Lu Jinxi's attitude to him has completely changed this meager attitude. Hope to break.

That's not the attitude Lu should have.

It is clear that she is like an ordinary person, sitting at the desk as if nothing happened, but the woman in front of her is very different from the Lu family.

Serious and calm.

If Mr. Lu was sitting here, he would be rigorous, with lowered eyebrows, and maybe a little bit of the shyness of a young daughter on his cheeks.

She doesn't look at people like that.

Such an open, magnanimous, direct, and even sharp look.

It's clearly not the eyes of some deep house woman.

The gaze that is watching him at this moment is so old-fashioned and so deep, it hides a bit of the aura of a superior, and there is also a touch of pity that makes people feel soft-hearted.

The next moment, a faint smile disguised his entire body.

Lu Jinxi got up politely, then waved her hand: "Sir Song is willing to come here, but I can't go out to greet you. It's really rude. I hope you don't mind. Please take a seat."

Song Zhiyan's hand hanging by his side was already clenched into a fist.

He was vigilant, wary, and fearful of the woman in front of him who was the same as Lu's, so he didn't sit down, just gritted his teeth and said coldly, "Who the **** are you?"

It seems that she has no intention of talking nonsense with her at all.

It's fine though.

As early as when he was seen through the palace road, Lu Jinxi had already thought about it: since he could not pretend to be the best in the first time, and he didn't feel that he should handle the matter of Song Zhiyan as the Lu family. , just open the sunroof and say something bright.

"Sir Song, please be patient and don't be impatient."

The other party didn't sit, and she didn't force her to do so. She just walked to the beaded curtain on her own, then waved to Qingque and motioned her to go out.

"On the palace road that day, you recognized me well. I am indeed not the original Lu family."

Not really!

At this moment, Song Zhiyan felt that the softest piece of flesh in his heart had been gouged out, almost giving birth to a feeling of suffocation.

If he hadn't helped the desk beside him, he would have been unable to stand.

Lu Jinxi didn't look behind her, but she knew that Song Zhiyan would never feel better.

After a while, I heard the sad and dazed voice of the man behind him: "You are not, where did she go?"

I didn't ask who she was, nor what kind of monster she was, nor did I ask the whole story, but: where is the Lu family.

Lu Jinxi felt a heavy heart.

After being silent for a long time, she shook her head: "I don't know either. Speaking of which, this matter is a bit strange. Regardless of whether Master Song believes it or not, my name was Lu Jinxi in my last life, but I lived in a different place with the elder. Xia is completely different. Something happened, and after opening his eyes, he was already living in this skin. You should have heard that Lu Shi was seriously ill a few years ago. There are rumors that 'I' is Zeng Duan The doctor said that she could not be saved, but she survived. If you are lucky, she should be in the next world, in my body; if you are not lucky, she should have disappeared in this world. "

“…”

Absurd.

Song Zhiyan listened to her every word, and felt that every bit was incredible. If it was in the past, he would have long ago angrily scolded others for pretending to be ghosts.

But...

The woman in front of her, and the completely different change he felt, was definitely not something that could be done by pretending to be a ghost.

Lu's temperament may change drastically, but no matter how people change, there will be certain traces of that temperament on her body. But he couldn't see the slightest familiarity in this woman who claimed to be also called "Lu Jinxi".

She still had a bit of a disguise when she saw through it on the palace road that day.

But now there are only two of them in the private room.

Everything that Lu Jinxi showed, it can be said that none of the kind and cowardly Lu would have - these are two completely different people.

He had a thousand words in his heart, but at this time, he couldn't even say it.

Lu Jinxi finally couldn't bear it, so she turned around and faced him with Lu's face, and put the fact that she was not Lu's in front of Song Zhiyan cruelly.

"Do you have any questions?"

Song Zhiyan's body trembled a little. He opened his mouth. It took a while before he asked, "Is that letter written by you or by her?"

Refers to that last letter.

Lu Jinxi found it in the box, gained insight into the origins and exchanges between the two, and also knew Lu's mental journey in this matter.

She finally chose to send this letter to Song Zhiyan, breaking his relationship with the Lu family.

At this moment when Song Zhiyan asked, Lu Jinxi didn't have the heart to bear it, but still told the truth: "She left it. Princess Yongning saw through the connection between you and her, and warned me face to face, so that I knew about you. With her. I found this letter in the box, along with your letters from the past. I figured that was the answer she was going to give you in the end, so I sent it to you on her behalf."

"Her answer..."

At this moment, Song Zhiyan's strength seemed to have been drained, he staggered, and finally sat down slowly. That feeling of slump, like the whole person has collapsed.

"In this life, it was me who made the mistake of her..."

"None of you have blamed anyone, it's just that things in this world are messing people up."

Even if they can meet again, the kind Lu family is not willing to break up Song Zhiyan's current family, let alone let another woman who has become Song Zhiyan's wife suffer all the pain she has endured.

So, the decision to cut off the love silk was made.

For the cowardly Mr. Lu, how much courage and how much heartbreak does such a decision require?

"She was enjoined to marry into the general's mansion, and she was not happy. When she left, all she cared about was her children and her family. Although I am an outsider, I am not a demon. I should also repay this kindness. So I raised my children for her and filial piety to her parents. It’s just that I can hide this from everyone in the world, but I shouldn’t hide it from you alone.”

Lu Jinxi wanted to come and sighed slightly.

As a bystander, she could only stand from an outsider's point of view and stare at Song Zhiyan, who was sitting there in a trance, with a kind of helpless pity.

"It's just that I'm not her. Master Song loves her so much, I should be able to see that I don't have her dignified and virtuous, nor her kind-heartedness, and I won't sit still and let others be slaughtered. Today These words are only for you, Master Song, and I won't recognize a word of it after leaving this door."

She smiled slightly, raised the jug beside her, and poured a glass of wine for Song Zhiyan.

"Although I don't remonstrate in the past, people who come here can still be chased. I only hope that Mr. Song can let go of the past and let go of herself in the future. I think this is her greatest wish."
