forget

She really doesn't really know that.

Looking at Ye Shi's reaction now, the person, the original body should have known each other, I'm afraid there is a deep connection.

If you can't say it well, you might be exposed.

The situation is actually a bit critical, but Lu Jinxi has walked through the storm, and he has his own way to deal with this situation.

At the moment, she did not shy away from Ye Shi's gaze, but instead smiled vaguely, and said half-truly on purpose, "I really forgot."

Ye Shi really hit the mark.

She is very shrewd, knows a lot, thinks a lot, and naturally thinks a lot at the moment.

Seeing Lu Jinxi's half-smiling expression, combined with the old things she knew, she could see a bit of sarcasm, but she felt that she understood and deliberately pretended to be confused with herself.

Can…

With those things going on back then, Lu Jinxi didn't want to mention "that one", which was quite normal.

Holding the little cover clock, Mrs Ye sighed and said, "I was confused for a while, and I forgot that you and them, Madam, have a grudge. After all, when Wei Yi squeezed you out like that, Gu Juefei became friends with her again. Now it's normal to take him along and not want to see him..."

This short sentence gave Lu Jinxi the information he wanted almost immediately.

She suddenly remembered-

heard.

Whether it was Wei Yi or Gu Juefei, she had heard of it.

It's just that what she heard was the anecdote of the most reputable talents and beauties in the market, while what Ye Shi mentioned was the obscureness in the courtroom, and she didn't get in touch for a while.

This Wei Yi is the number one beauty in Beijing, far surpassing the original one.

And Gu Juefei, the eldest son of Grand Master Gu, is even more talented. I heard that he took the third flower at the age of 23 and has a good relationship with Wei Yi.

Everyone said that they were talented and beautiful, and they were extremely right.

Unexpectedly, Wei Yi later entered the palace and became a favored concubine.

Judging from Ye's words now, this "Xuecuiding" is probably somewhere in the Jokhang Temple.

Because this fact is too legendary, and there are too many places to discuss, so even if it happened five or six years ago, people still remember it and often mention it.

It's just that Lu Jinxi didn't know that there were still festivals between Yuan Shi, Wei Yi and Gu Juefei.

Her understanding of Gu Juefei was limited to the few words the maids said when they were pregnant, so even if she remembered it, there was no clue on her face.

The thick eyelashes trembled lightly, Lu Jinxi laughed lightly, and she had the confidence in her heart, so she began to repeat Ye's words: "It's been such a long time, who can remember it all the time? Mrs. Shizi just said, Taishi Gu. I went to the Jokhang Temple last night, and Gu Da Gongzi happened to be at the Jokhang Temple..."

Her tail tone gradually fell, as if she was thinking.

After Xue Kuang left, Lu Jinxi hardly went out.

Ye Shi didn't know her details, she just assumed that she didn't know anything, or that she didn't get involved in these matters on weekdays. If she didn't understand, she answered naturally: "This is going to be a big event..."

Who doesn't know about Gu Juefei's falling out with his family a few years ago

Master Gu was so angry that he scolded and disobeyed, but who could compare to Gu Juefei

Fifteen to study abroad, nineteen to Beijing.

In the past four years, his friends have spread all over the Jiangnan Shilin, and now many of them are officials in the DPRK.

He is a 23-year-old Tanhua himself, no matter whether he is a scholar of high school from a poor family in Beijing, or a son of a rich and powerful family, all of them are eager to make friends, and when he mentions him, he sincerely admires them.

and…

Gu Juefei has done a lot of things in private, and Ye Shi has only heard of it a little bit, but thinking about it so far makes his heart tremble.

Whether in terms of talent, in terms of means, or even in terms of mind, which one is he not better than the old master Gu

Even if he had a falling out with his family, anyone with eyes would know that the eldest son of Gu Taishi's favorite and most high hopes.

Having been in the noble family of Hou Menxun for a long time, Ye Shi's eyes are not simple at all.

She can see through many things.

Now, they have been analyzed for Lu Jinxi in detail, and they are well-organized and the context is clear.

"Madam, you should have heard that the second son of Taishi's mansion passed the examination last year, and he is considered a young talent; even the children born by Mrs. Gu Taishi's continuation string are all smart and clever."

"But with Gu Da Gongzi Zhuyu in front, they became the light of fireflies."

"Even if they do well, there will always be an elder brother on their head. Even in the heart of Taishi Gu, no one can compare to his eldest son..."

This is the first time that Lu Jinxi has heard Gu Juefei describe Gu Juefei in such detail. This...

A big man as famous as Xue Kuang.

She didn't interrupt, nor was she impatient, she just listened to Ye Shi's words bit by bit.

"Master Gu is fifty this year, and his body is not good, and he has leg problems."

"This winter, he was seriously ill, and he couldn't go to court for several days. The imperial physicians in the imperial hospital in the palace were so frightened that they couldn't sleep for several days."

"It's so big for a Gu family lintel, and he is supported by an old man. How exhausting he is? I don't know when I will go to office..."

"As soon as the news of Gu Taishi's visit to the Jokhang Temple spread last night, every household in the capital this morning, who doesn't send people around to inquire about it?"

"He has never believed in gods or worshipped Buddhas. Going to the Jokhang Temple, except for the son of Gu, who lives in seclusion on the top of the snow, he hardly thinks about it."

"Everyone in the capital is pondering: will the eldest son of Gu come back, when will he come back, whether he will inherit the family business, and who will the old lady's powerful contacts in the court be left to..."

Having said that, Ye Shi couldn't help shaking his head and sighing.

The Gu family has a big tree with deep roots.

Although their imperial government is powerful, it is really far from being compared with such a faction of real power.

Lu Jinxi finally heard the clue: it turned out to be a matter of interest...

Gu Taishi has such a great ability in the court, and Gu Juefei is such a formidable person. Once the father and son are reconciled, it may be that the direction of the Gu family will change.

The affairs of the imperial court are intertwined and deeply implicated.

Therefore, there is only one wind and grass moving, and there are countless people who are like a great enemy, sitting and lying in peace.

This is interesting.

The reason why Mrs. Ye wanted to come to her just now to inquire about the Gu family's news was to be able to seize the one-two-point advantage in such an ever-changing situation, at least it couldn't be wrong, right

After all, there seem to be quite a few sons of the Gu family, but Gu Juefei is the one who is the most powerful one.

The more Lu Jinxi thought about it, the more interesting it became.

She pondered for a while and asked, "Does Madam Shizi think that Eldest Young Master Gu will come back?"

"… "

Ye Shi looked at her for a long time, speechless and helpless.

"Madam, don't make fun of me. Back then, Young Master Gu was so decisive, when the news came out, he stunned most of the capital like a thunderbolt. Now who can predict it? You don't have much of the upper hand, but you..."

Having said that, Ye Shi paused for a while, and his eyes became a little complicated and meaningful.

"Although Mrs. Xian does not get along with Concubine Xian, it's all in the past."

"Ling Zun, Mrs. Lu and Gu Taishi are jinshi in the same department, and they are close friends. There is also Princess Yongning in the General's Mansion. Back then, they cooperated with Taishi Gu and helped the current emperor to ascend to the great treasure, which is too close. No matter how close the relationship is…”

"Mrs. Lu is the jewel in the palm of your hand, and I heard that she has a good relationship with the eldest princess."

"If you want to tell the whole story of Gu Taishi going up the mountain, no matter how well-informed I am, I can't compare with Madam."

Lu Jinxi heard it, but it was clear in her heart.

In this way, it is true that Lu's news should be well-informed...

"It's just a pity, I've been sick for the past few days, and no one has come to tell me even the news of the birthday banquet at the Grand Master's Mansion. Now that I know about the matter of Grand Master Gu going up the mountain, I have to ask Mrs. Shizi to mention it. …”

"That doesn't matter."

Ye Shi is also clear about the affairs of the wealthy family, she patted Luo Dingfang's head in her arms and said with a smile: "Now that Madam is ill, I am afraid that things will come piled up, even if you want to be lazy again. , the current situation is not possible. But I have something I want to tell you, I don't know whether to say it or not... "

Lu Jinxi was curious: "It doesn't matter if you say it."

"Just think I'm overthinking..."

Ye Shi was a little emotional, looked at Lu Jinxi, and remembered her half-truth "really forgot".

"I see your demeanor just now, as if you haven't let go of the holiday with Concubine Xian."

"But now that the Grand Master's Mansion is powerful, Young Master Gu has nothing to do with Concubine Xian."

"Whether it's for the general's mansion, or for Brother Chi's plans, Madam should put these grievances aside, and take this opportunity to make friends with the Grand Master's mansion..."

Although the Xue family has been a general for generations, wars were frequent when the late emperor was there.

Xue's family room and the second room were both killed in battle, and even the first family's direct descendant was folded in. Lu Jinxi's mother-in-law Sun was a widow, Lu Jinxi's aunt Princess Yongning was a widow, and Lu Jinxi's eldest sister-in-law He was still a widow.

Even Lu Jinxi himself was the same.

The capable men in the family all went to the battlefield, and most of them didn't end well.

Now that the manor is old, people who are alive but haven't mixed themselves up are mostly mud that can't support the wall, and they can't be expected to climb up on their own.

Grand Master Gu was once an important minister, and he was not only in the hands of civil servants.

Besides, Lu Jinxi came from a family of poetry and calligraphy, and he was afraid that he might not want his child to go to the battlefield again. From this point of view, if he sent his child to the Time School for rearing, he could get a glimpse of it.

Ye Shi's remarks were all because Lu Jinxi was afraid that Lu Jinxi would lose the chain at this turbulent juncture because he remembered the grievances of the past.

Make friends with Gu Taishifu, not to mention one more friend, at least one less enemy.

The words are all right, but in fact Lu Jinxi didn't know the grudge between the original body and them, and he didn't feel anything about Wei Yi and Gu Juefei.

She knew that it was her half-truth and half-truth sentence before, which made Ye Shi misunderstood.

But she didn't explain.

A pair of hands, with transparent and rounded nails, slowly overlapped and placed on the knees.

Lu Jinxi smiled warmly, and said to Mrs Ye, "I can't match Mrs. Shizi's thoughtful thinking. Regarding the birthday banquet at the Grand Master's Mansion, if I get a chance to go back, I will inquire about it. If I get any news, I am not sure I will return If I want to bother you again, I’ll ask you a lesson or two.”

Ye Shi's eyes flashed slightly, and when he raised his eyes, he met Lu Jinxi's deep, unmoving eyes.

For a while, I was a little surprised.

It seems that the other party has seen through this little thought of her: Isn't she showing her favor to Lu Jinxi just to get some news from the Grand Master Gu's mansion

Now that Lu Jinxi agreed, she felt a little uncomfortable.

Fortunately, Mrs. Ye's reaction was quick, and she smiled at the moment: "That really benefits me, and it saves me from inquiring about the Taishi's mansion. I should be thanking my wife."

This is really candid, without concealing it in the slightest.

When Lu Jinxi heard the words, she actually felt a little favored, and she couldn't help but laugh.

The atmosphere in the house was even more harmonious than before.

The two of them changed the subject again and chatted for a while.

After about two minutes, Lu Jinxi got up and said goodbye when he saw that it was getting dark.

Before she left, she asked Egret to keep all the medicinal materials, and Ye Shi accepted it without any hesitation, and took her all the way to the door.

After seeing Lu Jinxi disappear into the lane, she had time to think back to her relationship this afternoon.

Sitting and talking with Lu Jinxi was a very comfortable enjoyment.

Whether it's listening to her voice, looking at her face, or even the subtle expressions, it's all very appropriate.

But after thinking about the details in detail, I was inexplicably a little scared: Can an ordinary person make people feel this way

With a slight tremor in her mind, Mrs Ye murmured in a trance: "How can it be more difficult to see than Wei Yi..."

Those individuals who said that Wei Yi was number one were blind, right

With an extremely inexplicable emotion, Mr. Ye returned to the room.

Lu Jinxi, who had left the Duke's Mansion, re-entered the East Court with the company of Bailu and others.

There are several maids guarding the house.

When she went up the steps, she wanted to ask about Gui Shou Zhang, but she didn't expect that when she looked up, she saw a few unfamiliar maids standing outside.

The peach red jacket and skirt looked very delicate. When standing, his legs were together and his back was straight, but his head was lowered slightly, and his hands were folded in front of him.

The rules are more than a little bit stricter than the other maids in the house

Even this appearance is extremely outstanding, and it doesn't look like it can be taught by the government.

When her mind changed, before she had time to ask, a maid who was serving in the East Court came up and whispered to Lu Jinxitong: "Second grandma, the eldest princess has been waiting in the room for a while, waiting for you."

Princess

Lu Jinxi's eyelids jumped.

Isn't it the Princess Yongning that she mentioned to Ye Shi before

When the late emperor was there, she took the honor of a princess and married Xue Huan, the second son of General Xue, and became the concubine of her mother-in-law Sun, with a daughter under her knees.

Because of her high status, although she is only in front of the second room's home, the big room does not respect her.

And because of her great contribution when Emperor Qing'an succeeded to the throne, she was also quite powerful in the court, and her status in the mansion was even more detached.

The original person, Mrs. Lu, was able to support the head of the family for a few years with this gentle temperament, but she actually had her support behind her.

Lu Jinxi didn't know why, but it didn't prevent her from paying attention to the matter.

I just don't know why this auntie, the long princess, came here

She frowned, nodded, and walked into the house, but she remembered everything Ye Shi said before...

The eldest princess and Gu Taishi are very close and should know a lot.

Could it be…
