"You came."
As soon as the carriage stopped, Gu Juefei saw it, and some vague eyes moved away from the blooming apricot flowers above his head and landed on Lu Jinxi's body, so he smiled lightly.
At that moment, the apricot blossoms brightened.
He walked over from under the flower tree, and when he reached the carriage, he stretched out his hand to help her.
Lu Jinxi didn't want to reach out.
But when he stood under the carriage, raised his head slightly, and looked at her with those eyes full of brilliance, she felt inexplicably loose in her heart, and she even compromised.
He handed it out and was held by his hand.
The cold temperature reached her palm.
Lu Jinxi glanced at him, and while he got out of the car with his help, she asked him casually, "Did you just go to court?"
Gu Juefei led her into the inn. Hearing this question, his eyes were a little strange, and he said with a smile, "Where can you tell it?"
Lu Jinxi lowered her gaze and motioned him to look under her feet.
Gu Juefei followed her gaze and bowed his head, and then he laughed: he was wearing a dark brocade robe, although he was in regular clothes, but the pair of shoes he stepped on were chao boots, because he was in a hurry, he was afraid that it would be delayed, and he had not had time to change it. Down.
"Madam is very observant, but I feel that Fei is underestimating."
"Um."
The corner of Lu Jinxi's lips curled into a smile, and she answered, but there was not much more to say.
He raised his eyebrows: "You can see that I changed my clothes in a hurry, so you should have guessed that I was in a hurry and didn't want to miss the time to send you out. Don't you say anything?"
Lu Jinxi brought not many people, and they were all trustworthy.
There are quite a few guards in the Taishi Mansion.
As soon as they came from Lu Jinxi, they all quieted down. No matter what they were doing, they now secretly turned their eyes and looked at them with a rather curious look.
Thinking about it, they are bound to be very curious: what kind of person is to be protected this time, and what kind of relationship does this person have with their eldest son.
Of course, everyone was shocked the moment they actually saw Lu Jinxi.
Lu Jinxi found it so interesting that she was a little sluggish and even wondered if she was wrong, so that she answered Gu Juefei's question in a good-natured manner: "It is said that a gentleman is a gentleman who does not want to repay his kindness. , Master Gu has only helped me once, and it is a matter of mutual benefit for both parties, so I want me to say something more. I have to take out a dozen banknotes, what if you drag me to see the official? "
"… "
Gu Juefei, who was going up the steps, almost stepped on it!
"you-"
What he said was not a matter of interest at all!
But Lu Jinxi actually misinterpreted the meaning on purpose, and made fun of it by asking for bribes. Seriously...
There is some atmosphere in my heart, and I feel a little funny.
But it finally calmed down.
Gu Juefei took a deep breath and put a smile on his face again: "It's okay, it's okay, it's fine if Madam's conscience is at ease and it's not against Madam."
Oh, I began to secretly mock her for having no conscience.
Lu Jinxi didn't care either.
She carried her skirt up the steps, crossed the threshold again, and walked into the post house.
Because it is the closest post house to the capital, it is an important place for news from the north and the south to the capital, so it is quite large and the decoration inside looks quite comfortable.
But there was no one else at this hour.
After all, they are the guards of the Grand Master's Mansion, and after all, they are the people who are reused by the emperor. Gu Juefei had probably cleared this place. They sat down in the lobby and it was clean.
"He Xing, come in."
Gu Juefei didn't talk nonsense, and shouted directly at the door.
Next to the door, stood a tall and sturdy man, tidying up his saddle.
But he was obviously not very focused, because he had seen the saddle when Lu Jinxi entered the door, and he could not find the slightest mistake.
Hearing Gu Juefei shout, he was shocked and walked in immediately.
"Pa-da-da", the footsteps were not heavy, but there was a sense of heaviness that only a trainee could have; the outline of a square face was particularly deep, and the eyes were also piercing, and the thickness revealed a bit of shrewdness.
He stood directly six feet in front of Gu Juefei and bowed.
"My subordinates meet the eldest son."
"This one is the guard leader of the Taishi Mansion. He was a green forest hero I met when I was traveling through Shaanxi. Later, I went to the Taishi Mansion with me and became a guard. The surname is He. Let him come to protect the lady all the way."
Gu Juefei waved his hand and introduced his identity to Lu Jinxi.
Lu Jinxi had come into contact with people like Yin Liu'er before, and he had also come into contact with all kinds of people of the three religions and nine-rates before, not to mention seeing Chen Fan next to Gu Juefei.
So she was not surprised to hear him tell the origin of this congratulatory trip.
Just turned his eyes around and looked at it.
With thick eyebrows and big eyes, he looks like he must be in his thirties. The stubble on his chin is cleanly shaved. Although he looks ordinary, he still looks like Zhou Zheng.
She looked at the other party, and the other party was not afraid at all, and raised his head to look at her.
In those eyes, there was a very strong curiosity.
So Lu Jinxi smiled, got up quite politely, nodded and said hello: "He, leader, I'm afraid this journey will be hard work."
He Xing is different from others. He already knew who he was going to escort this time, and what he was escorting her for, so he was not surprised by Lu Jinxi's identity.
In addition, he was born in a green forest, and he has his own aura of rivers and lakes that has not faded away, and he is not afraid of people.
He just thought it was weird today.
First, the eldest son of his own family is notoriously unfeminine. How could he be the first-ranked wife of a general's mansion when he gets in touch with him
Second, after all, she was the widow of the former general of the township, so why did she think of going into business? Where did you get so much courage
Now this incredible thing, there is one more—
The status is so noble, and the people are so kind.
To be honest, he has been a guard in the Grand Master's Mansion for a while, and He Xing has never seen such a down-to-earth person.
He blinked, smiled, and said cheerfully, "I have seen Mrs. He Xing, so you can just call me 'He Xing'. My subordinate's status is low, and I still go out when I go back. It is more convenient and safer to call me by name. ."
"Also."
Of course Lu Jinxi knew this, so he didn't refuse.
Gu Juefei glanced at the smiling He Xing, frowned slightly, but taught him: "What does a hippie smile look like? Don't think this trip is easy. If there is no accident, everything will be fine, but if there is an accident, you will have ten The head is not enough to chop off. There have been a lot of bandits and gangsters recently, so you must be careful in Taoism.”
Gu Juefei does not train people easily.
But once you train people, no matter how kind the tone is, it gives people an inexplicable pressure and intimidation.
He Xing also understood Gu Juefei, and when he said it, the smile on his face disappeared, became serious, and replied loudly: "Yes, the subordinates must do their best to protect them on the way, and never let the lady have an accident!"
Lu Jinxi burst out laughing.
She felt that Gu Juefei was a little too worried.
After all, in this day and age, there should be not many women who have to go out and walk long distances alone, which inevitably makes people feel very dangerous. But Lu Jinxi had seen a lot of the world, so he remained calm.
It's just that at this time, it was inconvenient for her to say anything else, she just looked at Gu Juefei.
Gu Juefei waved to the waiter standing next to him, then turned around and said to her: "You are alone when you go out on this trip. It's easy to be ostentatious with too many people, but accidents will happen, so including He Xing, a total of Only fifteen people were selected. But these people are the elite of the elite and are well-trained. It is not a problem to hit nearly a hundred people when encountering ordinary bandits and bandits. You should be safe with them along the way."
so smart
Lu Jinxi was a little surprised at first, but he understood in an instant.
"Well-trained" in these four words is not a casual word, plus they come from the Taishi's mansion, and the weapons on their bodies are also well-equipped, and the bandits and bandits generally rely on only a large number of people, and nearly a hundred people can't beat 15 of them. It is normal.
She nodded, and noticed that someone at the inn came with some side dishes and put a pot of wine on the table, a little surprised: "This is?"
"Anyway, it's a long way to go. I've all come here. You don't want to leave like this, do you?" Gu Juefei waved his hand, motioning her to sit down, and he sat down opposite her. "Even if you want to go, you can't go. You came back after eating, but I just got down from the top, and I drank a bowl of porridge from the top. I'm hungry right now."
Yes, this is to accompany you to eat.
But Gu Juefei was right.
The emperor went to court very early, and he got up before dawn, and when he arrived at the Hall of Supreme Harmony, it was still before dawn, so he was in a hurry, and at most he could drink a bowl of porridge.
Lu Jinxi didn't show anything to him on his face, but if he said that there was nothing in his heart, it would be a lie. It's just that he habitually hides all the emotions that may become weaknesses, so he doesn't seem to be moved.
Seeing Gu Juefei pouring wine at the moment, she watched for a long time, and then said, "Since you haven't eaten anything and your stomach is empty, you should eat some before drinking. It's not too late to drink the wine that you see off."
Gu Juefei looked up at her.
There was a dark brightness in those transparent and deep eyes, and there was a smile on his lips, which was actually a little bit of a clear and proud smile.
But he didn't say anything.
Lu Jinxi told him not to drink it, so he put the poured glass of wine beside her, but put his own glass aside, picked up his chopsticks instead, picked up the snowflake chicken, and instructed the side next to him: "Serve two bowls. Porridge up."
"Yes."
The person serving him obviously knew who he was, and he was already prepared, so he hurriedly went down and brought up two bowls of porridge.
One bowl was given to Gu Juefei and the other to Lu Jinxi.
She did not refuse, and simply had porridge face-to-face with Gu Juefei.
The two didn't talk much.
Only in the gap between eating porridge and vegetables, only occasionally catch two sentences.
"Is everything ready?"
"Ready."
"If it doesn't work out in the end, what are you going to do?"
"impossible."
"You are very sure of yourself."
"This bamboo shoot is good. If you are in the mood to question me, it's better to eat two more chopsticks."
…
Gu Juefei thought that she cared about herself, and didn't mind her confident grasp and indifferent attitude in Sheng Longchang. He really smiled and took a few more chopsticks and steamed bamboo shoots.
From beginning to end, He Xing was listening by the side.
The more I heard it, the more incredible it became.
The eldest son of their family looks easy-going, but he is not an easy-going person, let alone facing those who are hostile or indifferent to him.
Vote for me with papaya, and repay it with Qiong Ju.
However, Gu Juefei is not the kind of person who will repay her grievances with virtue and repay her with Qiong Yao.
After eating a light meal, Gu Juefei and Lu Jinxi felt nothing, but He Xing next to him was deeply curious about the lady he was about to escort.
This is obviously an unusual relationship with his eldest son!
But he was trained by Gu Juefei, and he didn't dare to show it at this time.
Although he didn't eat much in the morning, after sitting at this table, Gu Juefei only drank two bowls of porridge, then stopped his chopsticks, and then picked up the wine glass: "I can't prepare any delicious food and wine in a hurry, a glass of Prajna wine, for the sake of it. Madam has done it."
Baiyuntan's Prajna wine, Lu Jinxi has been known for a long time.
She left after having eaten. At this time, she basically ate with Gu Juefei. She drank half a bowl of porridge and slowly took the dishes. She habitually did a good job of etiquette, and did not put down her chopsticks first.
Gu Juefei obviously knew that she didn't need to eat much, so she stopped after eating a little.
She didn't persuade him to eat more, she just held up the glass in her hand, touched the glass that Gu Juefei held out, and said with a smile, "I've heard of this wine before, but I haven't drank it yet, today is considered a It's in the light of Lord Gu."
The two of them touched the cups lightly and drank each other.
Gu Juefei looked at her: "Do you like this wine?"
The entrance is clear and crisp, and the wine taste is long.
Qinglian snow, mellow wine.
Lu Jinxi actually doesn't know much about wine, but he can drink it. This is a rare good wine, so he smiled and said, "Of course I like good wine, but..."
"But what?"
I vaguely felt that there would be no good words below, but driven by curiosity, Gu Juefei still asked.
After seeing off the wine, Lu Jinxi put down the wine and got up.
Hearing his question, she turned her head and glanced at him, then when he got up and walked towards her, she casually leaned into his ear and smiled softly: "But I prefer the way Lord Gu is drunk. appearance."
Lan Xi sighed lightly.
At this moment, Gu Juefei's auricle almost burned.
It's just that before he could react more to this sentence, Lu Jinxi took a step back wisely, and raised his eyebrows directly at him: "Send you a thousand miles away, we have to say goodbye in the end, please, Lord Gu, please stay. "
After she finished speaking, she went straight out of the inn.
Outside, the guards of the Grand Master's Mansion were already waiting. At this time, they all took care of their own affairs. Qi Qi got on the horse, half of them headed to the front of the carriage of the General's Mansion, and half of the rear went to the back of the carriage.
Gu Juefei was stunned for a moment, only to walk outside the door of the inn and stand under the eaves.
He kept staring at Lu Jinxi, but Lu Jinxi walked straight, without even looking back at him, and got into the carriage. So he effortlessly noticed the woman's "feelings".
Not even a "goodbye, take care".
Just walked away so gracefully.
Sunny and sunny, apricot flowers are good.
But Gu Juefei watched the group disappear by the Yiwai Bridge, but suddenly he was in a bad mood. Looking back at the table, the delicacies are still there, and the residual wine is still there.
So give birth to a dash of strange do not worry.
"Why, do you like the way I look when I'm drunk..."
