Egret and Qingque are still a little bit lost at this moment.
The existence of Gu Juefei is like a god in the sky to these two ordinary maids, but just now standing in front of them so ordinary, his body is still in a mess.
the most important is…
My wife actually came here with Young Master Gu.
When did they get together
When they went in to pick up Lord Lu, what happened outside
Why do you think Eldest Young Master Gu's eyes when looking at his wife are so subtle
My heart was confused for a while.
It's just that when they raised their eyes, they saw Lu Jinxi leaning on the pillow at the moment, and they didn't know why, but their hearts trembled, and they didn't dare to ask any more questions.
The sound of the wheel rolling over the ground was exceptionally clear.
They lowered their eyes, and all they could see was Lu Jinxi's fingers resting on the coffee table. They were extremely white, and they seemed to be tapping again and again with some unknown beat...
Lu Mansion is also in the east of the inner city, but in another direction.
The carriage of the General's Mansion first went to the entrance of the Lu Mansion together with the General's Mansion. At this time, Lu Jinxi came down and sent Lu Jiuling in.
It's just that it's getting a little late.
Lu Jinxi is now a married daughter, and she doesn't know anything about the Lu Mansion for the time being, so she didn't go in. She only left a message to come back with the children for two days.
After that, he returned to the carriage, all the way back to the General's Mansion.
Happily speaking.
Their carriage entered the side door with the front foot and parked in the open space at the door, and the sound of hooves came from the rear foot.
There were a few lanterns hanging around. Lu Jinxi was holding the hand of the egret and got off the carriage when he heard the sound and looked back.
It was a tall horse with a tall man on its back.
It was late and the light was dim.
Lu Jinxi couldn't quite see what the person who came here looked like, but only saw him wearing a pair of soap boots and wearing a dark blue strong suit with narrow cuffs, which was good for movement.
As soon as the man came in and saw the carriage in front of him, he took the reins and called out "Uh".
The young people who were waiting around recognized him and immediately greeted him, helping him to hold the horse: "Third master, you are back, when the third grandmother came back, she asked where you were going. Well. The little ones are not easy to answer... "
Third Master…
Xue Kuang's younger brother, Xue Rin?
It is also the only one who is still alive among several direct descendants of the long house
Lu Jinxi immediately judged it.
"The third grandma has come back?"
Xue Rinren was on the horse, and while asking, he turned over and got off the horse.
The little one who led the horse nodded: "I'm back, I just asked the little ones to guard here. I'm afraid that it will be dark on your way back, so I'll ask you to light a lantern."
When Xue Rin heard this, a smile appeared on her face.
Because others dismounted, and the little ones put on lanterns.
So, Lu Jinxi finally saw him clearly.
A face, in fact, looks quite serious, the facial features are very handsome, the bridge of the nose is high and straight, and the eyebrows are bright.
It's just that these eyes are a little weaker.
It looks sharp and lacks sharpness, hides a little gentleness, and has a faint sense of indecision.
Especially the look on this face...
It doesn't look like a soldier at all.
At this moment, Xue Rin had also seen some Lu Jinxi in front of him, slightly stunned, a little hesitation passed over her face, and she became a little shy when she remembered something.
However, he hurriedly stepped forward and greeted Lu Jinxi respectfully.
"I have seen the second sister-in-law."
Lu Jinxi had heard of him.
The third master, who was born directly from the long house, seems to be somewhat mediocre in ability, which is not in line with the sharpness shown by the word "Rin" in his name.
At the moment, there are six out of twenty. Reluctantly relying on the shadow of the family, he finds an errand in Beijing.
But among the three brothers, he was the least picky.
Of course, the excellent two are dead.
Seeing the other party saluting, Lu Jinxi saw his expression, and roughly judged the character of the third master Rin, but he did not come to a conclusion.
She also bowed slightly, and said very politely: "it's all a family, the third master doesn't need to be so polite."
"Yes, Sister Xie."
Xue Rin just got up, but the expression on his face made it even more unnatural.
He has been married to Wei Xian for four years.
He actually doesn't know the slightest bit about the reason why this noble daughter of the Taifu's mansion married him out of thin air, but he just feels that the current self is actually not worthy of Wei Xian's background.
Therefore, to Wei Xian, he is almost obedient.
But the more so, the more frightened and even a little guilty he felt in his heart after knowing what she had done over the years.
Just because the position of Xiaoqi School is not easy, there are always a lot of things to be busy with, so he doesn't have much time in the mansion, let alone meeting Lu Jinxi.
Intentionally or not, he is also avoiding such a meeting.
But today alone, they accidentally bumped into each other.
So, what he heard at the birthday banquet at the Taishifu today came to his mind.
Xue Rin stood not far in front of Lu Jinxi, opened her mouth, and seemed to want to say something.
Lu Jinxi originally wanted to order someone to send Xue Rin back, but when he saw this, he stopped temporarily, with a warm smile on his face, and asked, "Is there something wrong with the third master?"
"No, it's not a problem..."
Xue Rin seldom dealt with women at ordinary times, not to mention her second sister-in-law who had little contact with her before.
Because of the guilt in his heart, he was a little more nervous than usual, and he stumbled when speaking.
"Because of the carriage and horses, Xian'er has offended the second sister-in-law a lot this morning. I only heard about it at the birthday banquet. Xian'er... She is not very sensible, so she can't be bothered with the second sister-in-law. She also asked the second sister-in-law to be generous. Don't compare with her."
Xue Rin lowered her head, a little apprehensive.
He saw that Wei Xian had been deflated several times, and he heard people say that after the second sister-in-law became ill, things changed a bit. Now that he saw that this was the case, he didn't really expect Lu Jinxi's reaction.
So, after he finished speaking, he didn't breathe a sigh of relief, but instead his heart hung up.
The dragon gave birth to nine sons, each of which is different.
Men from the same family are not necessarily the same. There are two elder brothers Zhuyu in front, unfortunately in front, mediocre is not necessarily a bad thing.
Lu Jinxi didn't feel bad about him at all.
As for what happened this morning...
The corners of her lips curved, and she smiled slightly: "Third Master has been worrying too much. It wasn't a big deal this morning, but it just wasn't coordinated for a while. It was me who made my younger brother and sister suffer a little bit of grievance. I should have been sorry. Yes. At this moment, she might be sulking in the house. It's not early, so you should go back quickly. "
After Xue Rin heard her words, she was a little stunned for a while, and she didn't quite understand what "maybe she was sulking at home" meant.
only…
The second sister-in-law is still so easy to talk, except for the calmness in the words and expressions, the change is not very big.
soft.
Kind.
Seeing that she didn't care, Xue Rin was already a little happy, and now she bowed again: "Then Xue Rin will leave first, and please take care of the second sister-in-law."
"Um."
Lu Jinxi complied, and then instructed the little ones who were serving over there: "Send the third master back on the way, be careful."
At this time, the little ones put up the lanterns, showed Xue Rin the way, hugged him around a few steps, and then went west.
Lu Jinxi lives in the East Courtyard and is not with him.
Standing on the spot, seeing the person disappear, she slowly frowned.
Egret is happy at this moment: "It's obvious that the third grandmother sent someone to pick up the third master, and you still said such a thing. When the broken mouths are passed back, maybe she will be angry. "
When he looked up, he saw Lu Jinxi's expression.
She was stunned for a moment and wondered: "Madam, what's wrong with you?"
"It's nothing, just remembering something..."
Lu Jinxi took Qingque's hand next to her and turned around, thinking about it in her heart.
One was why Wei Xian chose Xue Rin and married into the Xue family four years ago, she was a little curious at the beginning.
Seeing Xue Rin now, is this temperament Wei Xian likes
It doesn't seem to make much sense, and the doubts are very heavy.
Two...
She remembered talking to Wei Xian before going out today. They talked about the sister-in-law He Shi, Wei Xian dismissed the He Shi, but when the conversation changed, it was said that the He Shi thought of Sister Lang.
This had to make Lu Jinxi suspicious.
At that time, she wanted to ask again, but because of the carriage, the conversation had to be interrupted.
Sister Lang's recent tantrums are not a secret in the mansion.
A few days ago, because of the busy work, she went to the banquet again today, so this matter has been put on hold by her, only to observe the situation of Sister Lang, and did not deal with it.
But Wei Xian's previous words seemed to reveal something faintly.
It seems like...
Sister Lang's tantrum seems to be related to the He family.
This is just Lu Jinxi's intuition.
I don't know if it was because she had a bad first impression of the He family that led to this "illusion", but Wei Xian should obviously know something.
She pondered that she would be free tomorrow. She should find a time to visit Wei Xian, and she had to talk to Sister Lang.
Just thinking about it, the East Court is already in front of you.
Because she sent Lu Jiuling back to the mansion halfway through, it was delayed for a while, and it was already late. She asked a few of the maids who stayed in the mansion to take care of her, and she was relieved when she learned that the children had already slept.
At the birthday banquet, I was either listening to those noble ladies talking about three aunts and six grandmothers, or I was sitting there watching a play and eating. In fact, there was not much that she was interested in.
Except for Gu Juefei, who cheered her up a little, the rest was really boring.
After a long day, Lu Jinxi was already tired.
As soon as people entered the door and sat in front of the dressing table, she took off all the head and face jewelry, and also took off the white jade beads on the forehead, and threw them back into the jewelry box.
"Call someone for hot water, and take a shower and wash up in a while. I'm really tired today, so I'll take a rest early."
"Yes."
Egret responded and went to open up.
Qingque stayed behind and helped Lu Jinxi to loosen the crescent moon bun, her black hair like a waterfall, spread all over her shoulders, looking extremely smooth.
She looked at Lu Jinxi's closed eyes in her glasses, considered it for a while, and then opened her mouth.
"When I just came back, the slave got a message from Yin Liu'er."
"He said he hasn't replied yet, but is eager to see you."
"One is to plead guilty to you in person for what happened last time; the other is because the Falcon Battalion is going to start recruiting troops in just a few days. You haven't replied to him for a long time, and he has no idea."
"I didn't know you..."
Because Chuanlai didn't have Lu's memory, Lu Jinxi didn't ask much after knowing about Yin Liuer.
Now that she heard Qing Que's words, she only came back to her senses.
It turned out to be so.
Yin Liu'er did things for the Lu family not because he was Lu's confidant, but only because he asked for the Lu family.
Previously on Changshun Street, she had seen the Dragon and Tiger Battalions of the Infantry, both soldiers who had been withdrawn from the border.
"Dragon and Tiger" are fierce beasts, and "Falcon" is a kind of ferocious bird.
Listening to this name, although it does not seem to be like the dragon-shaped camp and the tiger-shaped camp, I am afraid it is not very far from each other. It should be a kind of establishment in the army.
Lu's is the wife of the general, and Yin Liu'er should have taken a fancy to this.
but…
Lu Jinxi slowly opened her eyes and looked at herself in the mirror thoughtfully: With Lu's character, would she help Yin Liuer
She really doesn't know.
"He did things for me. Although he has made mistakes now, he does not shirk and dares to admit it."
"It's half a man."
"Tomorrow, you will find out what's going on in the Falcon Camp for me. Just find a space in the next few days. When you see him, you can do it if you can."
As for not being able to do it, then there is no other way, and we can only think of other compensation methods.
Lu Jinxi was still very curious about this little gangster who had never met before.
She gave Qingque an affirmative answer, and Qingque had a bottom line in her heart.
After a while, Egret sorted out the matter of bathing. Lu Jinxi threw herself into the tub to take a bath, rinsed cleanly, and then retreated into the bed.
On the tent of the step bed, there is a pond of green lotus embroidered waiting for the moon to bloom, which is quite plain. The candlesticks lit in the room were very bright, and they were blown out one by one by the blue birds, and then gradually became dark.
Because Mr. Lu burns sandalwood all year round, there is a faint smell of Buddha sandalwood in this room.
Lu Jinxi originally followed a few big bosses, and after playing these games, he was quite familiar with the taste.
But I smelled it today, and I don't know why, but it's hard to meditate.
so boring.
Once I'm free, I feel like I'm not right in every bone. If it wasn't for the encounter with Gu Juefei at night, and the victory against the thousand-year-old painted skin demon, and barely a sense of accomplishment, this day could almost be classified as "lack of goodness".
Is this the life of an ancient woman
days in the house.
Die hard.
Lu Jinxi rested her head against the pillow, half-curled her body, and lay with her back to the outside. All the messy thoughts flashed through his mind.
It was probably too busy during the day, and as soon as she fell asleep, she had a dream.
Vaguely high-rise buildings, suits and leather shoes.
The streets of Nasdaq are full of people.
On the bright floor of the Condé Nast building, the sound of men's leather shoes and women's high heels reverberated everywhere, some urgent, some slow, like an ups and downs rhythm.
That day, she was in the spotlight.
"when… "
In the dream, there was a faint chiming of the bell.
Lu Jinxi finally opened his eyes, but for a while he couldn't tell who he was or where he was.
All you can see is darkness.
After a while, she could distinguish the blurred outline of the bed tent, and when she recognized that this was Lu's house, she smiled silently.
The tense body slowly relaxed.
Lu Jinxi pressed her forehead and sat up slowly. She had lost the slightest sleepiness, only the bell rang in her dream.
In fact, at that moment, she thought she had succeeded.
As the co-founder of the company, she came to the fore, killing one of the core founders one after another, and making up another one. She is a veritable "tyrant".
But the arm can't break the thigh.
The power of capital is always a nightmare for entrepreneurs.
Just one month after the bell rang on Nasdaq, she was pulled from the bottom of the capital, swept out of the house, and lost the career she devoted herself to.
Nothing.
So poor that only money is left.
However, all the financial news said that she retreated bravely, and immediately cashed out and left.
No one believes that this woman who has been fighting with people for many years in the field of interests will love her career more than her money.
In fact, in retrospect, Lu Jinxi didn't believe it himself.
Leaning on the head of the bed, she rubbed her eyebrows.
If Mr. Lu didn't die and was fortunate enough to wear it on her body, apart from enemies all over the ground and his predecessors all over the street, he would not worry about food and clothing for the rest of his life. If you have some brains and eyes, and make some investments, you might be able to become a a well-known investor.
Of course, if she encounters people who cheat for money and sex, it is not something she can manage.
Thinking of this, Lu Jinxi couldn't help but laugh.
These are all nonsense.
She sat for so long, and she became more and more awake. She turned her head and saw that the window paper sandwiched by the carved window was a little frosty white.
Midday on the moon.
I felt a little emotional and a little confused for a while.
Lu Jin unknowingly got off the bed, took advantage of the light reflected by the window paper, put on his clothes, and took the hanging ferret fur cape and wrapped it around himself.
She didn't disturb the sleeping egret outside and went out by herself.
Still in early spring.
It's not the time when the insects and birds are active, so it seems quiet everywhere.
The breeze is blowing, and the moon is in the sky.
The ground is really covered with a layer of silver frost by the moonlight, the eaves of the courtyard are bent, hooking the same half-curved moon, and there are a few begonia trees planted outside the wall, but some buds are blooming under the moon, secretly bright.
Lu Jinxi looked up, walked out from under the porch, went down the steps, stepped on the slate, gently opened the door, opened a small crack, and came out.
But it was only in the middle of the night, and the originally budding Begonia actually opened for the most part.
In the yard, only a few can be seen. When I stood outside, I found that it was open in a large area, pressing down on the branches, very fresh.
Some of the tender pink petals were as white as snow under the moonlight.
The flowers can be folded straight and must be folded...
Thinking of this sentence, she also attached to Feng Ya, stepped forward, picked the one facing out, and folded it.
"Snapped."
A soft sound.
In this silent night, it is very clear.
At that moment, Lu Jinxi actually felt a light in the corner of his left eye, and shook it.
She frowned suddenly, and looked to the left with a bit of alertness: It's so late, besides her, who has the guts to walk outside
On the left is the passage between the courtyard and the courtyard.
A figure stood at the opening, holding a lantern in his hand, looking a little thin, tall, and standing slightly strange.
Just because the lantern light shines from below, it is not very clear.
But Lu Jinxi recognized it immediately.
It's him
Because there are no lights in front of the East Courtyard, only the moonlight shines in the dark, so it is not very clear. He probably heard a sound here, so he stopped and looked at it.
That begonia is already in Lu Jinxi's hands.
It is only about a foot long, and there are seven or eight flowers on the top, most of which are open or half open, and only two or three are still buds.
No scent.
Because Begonia has no fragrance.
She thought of this irrelevant sentence for no reason in her mind, and then, after a little thought, she walked directly over there.
As they got closer, the face of the crown jade became clear.
He probably saw her and knew he was recognized, so he stood still.
Lu Jinxi smelled the smell of medicine.
Stopping at the front of the road, her brows were slightly raised, and her voice was as faint as the fragrance of Begonia: "In the middle of the night, the eldest son was carrying the lantern, looking at the direction, did you just come back from the outside?"
