For Meng Ji, this is definitely the second unforgettable day after Gu Juefei was deceived and coaxed to become a doorman.
Lu Jinxi didn't read the letter, and only chatted with him a few words.
In less than ten sentences before and after, he shook out all the details of his master.
The seller seeks glory, ah no, the seller seeks survival, he is top notch.
How to say this
Meng Ji is from a wise man, and he can see clearly the situation between his son and this aunt.
To put it horribly, if the couple really want to fight each other in the future, it must be the eldest son of his own family who will be accommodating to her, and will never say anything bad about her.
Therefore, he is now relying on Lu Jinxi, which is what a smart person does.
Moreover…
He also doesn't think he has a way to survive without being a seller.
After some chat, Lu Jinxi let him go.
The little maid, Feng Chi, had not been serving her for a long time, but she knew a little about her temperament, so she didn't dare to ask more about her, and she didn't take a look at the letter.
Lu Jinxi took it apart slowly and glanced at it.
It was a thin sheet of gold-sprinkled letterhead with only three words written on it.
She thought it was interesting before she saw it, and it was even more interesting after reading it.
Just after thinking about it, Meng Ji swears and swears that their son has absolutely nothing to do with that man, so she doesn't have any excessive reaction at this moment.
As soon as the letter was put into his sleeve, nothing had happened.
Lu Jinxi returned to Xiaozhu, guessing that she would live here for a long time in the future, so she looked around, especially studying Gu Juefei's bookshelves.
It was near noon when he came back.
He was dressed in a dark green robe and looked nothing on his face, but from the moment he entered the door, Lu Jinxi vaguely sensed his unhappy mood.
Between the long eyebrows cut like ink painting knives, there is a bit of depressed gloom.
It just can't be released.
He just walked in with a smile, watched her flip through the book, and asked her softly what she was looking at, Lu Jinxi said in a casual manner, she didn't read anything, just flipped through it casually.
"I've been talking with the old lady for a long time, and it's not getting better?"
She didn't ask what the conflict between father and son was. After all, Gu Juefei was not a fool in this world. If it could be resolved, it would have been resolved.
Gu Juefei sat down under the bookshelf, poured himself a cup of tea, held it in his hand, but did not drink it, only immersed his eyes in the clear tea, and remained silent for a long time.
After a while, he said, "What's good or bad, no matter how bad it is."
There was an unspeakable depression in his eyes.
In Gu Juefei's body, this is very rare.
Lu Jinxi put down the copy of "Shuxi" in his hand and walked over to him. He wanted to persuade him, but after thinking about it, he felt that it had something to do with the secret he didn't want to mention to her, so he swallowed it back. .
She didn't mention the matter of encountering Meng Ji or the matter of holding a letter, she just bent down slightly, touched his forehead, and sighed in a low voice: "I was busy with the Huns a month ago, and I was busy two days ago. About the marriage, I barely slept last night. At this time, let go of anything. Have a meal and go to bed for a while?"
"Um."
Gu Juefei was a little tired, especially those who had just talked to Gu Chengqian in the room.
As early as a few months ago, he was unwilling to defend himself any longer, but facing Gu Chengqian's silence today, he also made the other party think that he was acquiescing.
In the end, Gu Chengqian was tired, and so was he.
Xue Kuang was the biggest and deepest gulf between their father and son.
He knew that unless Xue Kuang really appeared in front of Gu Chengqian, he would believe that he was blind and saw the wrong person; Gu Chengqian sadly found that although he no longer agreed with Gu Juefei's son, now he is old and physically weak. It was difficult, and the Gu family could only be handed over to him.
One is too lazy to argue, and the other is unable to investigate further.
Gu Juefei remembered what Gu Chengqian said when he finally left, so he slowly closed his eyes, and the boiling emotions in his heart were finally suppressed by him little by little.
When he opened his eyes again, he was the Gu Juefei that Lu Jinxi was familiar with.
But now that Lu Jinxi saw it, he felt that his heart was blocked.
She didn't speak any more.
Gu Juefei looked at her brows and eyes, pulled her to sit in his arms, leaned his chin lightly on her shoulder, and looked at the scorching summer scene outside the half-opened window.
In a trance, I remembered that the day when Gu Chengqian kicked him out of the house was such a fine day. It was only as soon as the night fell, it started pouring rain, thunder and lightning, and electric snakes roamed the sky.
When he came back from the palace, Gu Chengqian was waiting in front of the ancestral hall.
That was the first time he was angry with the father who taught him to raise him, and asked loudly how he dared to plan for Xue Kuang behind his back and tip off the news, but he red-eyed and asked him how he had such a poisonous heart that kills loyalty and goodness.
In that year, his memories of summer were only that night when his body was cold and his heart was cold, only the Jokhang Temple with the bells ringing late, and the lonely Snow Cui Ding...
six years.
He wasted six years.
Gu Juefei laughed inexplicably and wanted to talk to Lu Jinxi, but the robe around his feet tightened, as if he was bitten by something.
"Wow, woof!"
He looked down and saw that the puppy who had grown up a lot came in at some point, played with him as usual, and lightly bit the corner of his robe.
Of course Lu Jinxi heard it too.
She followed and looked down. When she saw this little guy, her eyes lit up and she recognized it: "Is this the last time I came to you to see that puppy? It's grown so big."
Before Gu Juefei could react, she had already got up from his arms, picked up the little white dog, which was much bigger, and looked left and right.
The whole body is white and the ears are soft.
Obviously, the food in the Taishi's mansion is very good, chubby, neither fierce nor afraid of people, very cute.
Gu Juefei was speechless.
Lu Jinxi suddenly remembered something, and asked with a smile, "I remember last time I asked you if it had a name. You said no, and you didn't want me to help you name it. Now I can count it as its master. Is it famous?"
No.
This was the answer Gu Juefei had decided early in the morning, and even Lu Jinxi could name it whatever he wanted, but when he was about to speak, he saw the puppy, but he recalled the time when he picked it up.
Dirty one, waiting pitifully by the roadside.
Bereaved dog.
It was the day after Gu Chengqian's birthday banquet. He turned against Gu Chengqian at home, rested for the night in Huisheng Hall with wine, and went to find Princess Yongning again.
On the way out, I saw it.
God knows if he saw it or he saw himself.
So at this time, the two words that were about to be exported suddenly couldn't come out. Gu Juefei stared at it for a while, and said lightly, "It's called Gu Juefei."
"what?"
Lu Jinxi didn't understand, he just thought he had misunderstood his own question, but when he looked back, he saw his indifferent and lonely expression.
Holding the puppy for a while, he was slightly startled.
The words Gu Juefei said in a joke in the past suddenly flashed through his mind.
She remembered that when she first saw the puppy, he said it was picked up by the roadside. At that time, when she asked what the puppy's name was, he looked a little ugly and refused to tell him.
Now he said, this puppy is called Gu Juefei.
If he hadn't known Gu Juefei, knew who he was, and looked at his demeanor at the moment, Lu Jinxi might have thought that he was joking, or just joking.
Can be…
She knew him and could see him.
She has always been sensitive and smart, and because she is a painted skin demon, she is particularly able to see through the disguise of others.
The moment Gu Juefei said the answer, she faintly understood.
It's just that the more she understands, the more she doesn't know what to say at this moment.
On the contrary, Gu Juefei, who was already used to a certain emotion, suddenly saw this distressed and hesitant look on her face, and when her heart warmed, she hooked her hand and called her over.
Lu Jinxi came over, but just squatted down, gently folded his hands, placed them on his lap, and put his chin on the back of his hands, just raised his eyes and looked up at him slightly.
Gu Juefei from this angle is very beautiful.
The outline is clear, the edges and corners are cold, and there is a kind of vulgarity and loneliness that mortals cannot touch.
When a woman looks at a man from this angle, a man's heart will melt.
Lu Jinxi didn't know whether Gu Juefei's heart had changed, but she laughed when she saw him, and then asked her softly, "Do you remember what I said in the Golden Palace?"
Her appointment was given by him.
Lu Jinxi remembered this sentence.
So she blinked, blinking instead of nodding.
Gu Juefei's fingers, which were soaked with the scent of ink, slowly fell down onto her neat temples, and then slowly stroked to the side of her face.
Lu Jinxi couldn't see his expression clearly, only heard his calm voice.
Shallow, even leisurely.
But inside there is a kind of heavy weight like a deep thunder.
"It won't be worse than marrying Xue Kuang."
"Jinxi..."
"Four years is enough."
When Lu Jinxi heard it, he laughed heartily, only to think that Gu Juefei was extremely interesting, and he had to compete with Xue Kuang in everything.
Gu Juefei said, "Don't believe me?"
Lu Jinxi shook his head: "No, I believe it."
It has been difficult for civil officials to compete with generals since ancient times.
If anyone in today's court and opposition has the ability to match Xue Kuang's record of the official worship of the first grade, it would be Gu Juefei.
How could she not believe it
He has the ability, ambition, background, and even the trust of the emperor...
If he can't do it, no one in the world can do it.
It's just that Lu Jinxi at this moment did not expect that Gu Juefei actually fulfilled his promise at a speed that shocked the world, not even four years-
He only spent three and a half years.
