Lu Jinxi pinched the letter's fingers, and some of the knuckles were white.
I don't know if this letter was written by General Xue. It wasn't particularly good, but it already revealed a sense of peace that was different from generals, as if people had seen everything in their old age.
The tone of the letter was also very peaceful.
The content of the letter also appears to be simple, without any extravagance—
"When you live in a farm, you can be content with yourself, and don't look at your family."
"Today I heard that there are great Confucian Confucians who have opened an examination to select students in the Xian Temple on the second and third day of the second month. It is a rare opportunity to hear about those who have reached the world. Sun-in-law is busy with everything, but the great-grandson Xue Chi is intelligent and full of spirituality, so he can try it out. ."
"If you can worship a famous teacher, you will be blessed by God, even lucky."
Ha ha.
What else can Lu Jinxi say
She has never shown emotions easily, except for things that touch the bottom line of principles and may endanger herself.
Everyone said that the old man has always had the temperament that he would not take a second glance outside when it was windy, raining, thundering, and lightning, and he had learned it long ago.
Now you are writing a special letter for the trial of the Three Great Temples of Lao Shizi
How is it possible that someone is not "pushing" behind their backs
It's ugly, you can guess who's behind the scenes with your toes!
Look at the old man's sentence "Sun-in-law is busy with everything", it seems like he is admonishing himself that he must not use his busyness as an excuse to not take Xue Chi to the Sanxian Temple!
too big.
Gu Juefei is too bold, and his face is too thick!
He even gave her eye drops at the old lady of the Xue family's side!
She is now Grandma Lu Er, the wife of the head of the Xue family, and the great-granddaughter-in-law of Grandpa Xue.
Gu Juefei told her that there was no her name on the blind date book, so she didn't need to look at her. She seemed to want to marry her, and she dared to direct her strategy to the old man of the Xue family. This is her. Parents at the top.
Lu Jinxi really suddenly wanted to know: Does the old lady of the Xue family know what he is thinking
"Mother, I'm not going, I'm not going! Didn't you say that the gentleman in the school is enough? This is going to kill me..."
Xue Chi was still screaming, with a look of impending disaster.
In fact, Lu Jinxi's mood is not much better than this cheap son.
She pinched the page of letterhead, her eyes flashed, but she felt her temples throbbing suddenly, and there was a faint feeling of pain.
"This is the old lady..."
Not to mention his high status in the government, the matter mentioned in the letter is also for the sake of the younger generation, so it can be said that there is no single mistake.
Lu Jinxi can go without brother Chi, no one will say anything.
But if the elders above have already spoken and let Xue Chi try it, it is not something that can be shied away.
Black and white, every sentence is on the top.
Xue Chi was crying and begging, screaming and begging desperately, complaining about how busy he was with his studies and how strict his current husband was.
However, Lu Jinxi seemed to have not heard it, just frowned, read the letter several times, and paced around the room.
Since Qingque called in to deliver the letter, she knew that something was going to happen, and after hearing Xue Chi's wailing, she could guess what the letter said.
Thinking back to the carriage this morning, the rumors in Beijing recently made me jump with fear.
She has always been prudent and cautious, but now that Lu Jinxi is pacing the house, she doesn't dare to speak.
On the chess table in the house, there is also a Moyu chessboard.
Lu Jinxi's footsteps were slow, and when his eyes were wrong, he landed on the chessboard. The tragic chess game above was still unfinished, and there was no clear winner.
Sending a chessboard is a very provocative move.
She walked to the edge of the chess table and picked up a black chess piece randomly from the chessboard, but her eyes slowly narrowed.
I thought that if she didn't respond to all Gu Juefei's actions, this person should have calmed down a little bit.
Unexpectedly, he actually took the initiative to attack that type.
Judging from the fact that he dared to come to the door to disturb Mrs. Xue, even if she stayed at home and did not go out, he had enough means to force her to come out.
and…
This is just the beginning.
Who knows what's next
A "click" sounded.
With no expression on her face, Lu Jinxi threw the chess piece in her hand back into the broken chess game. The room was suddenly quiet, but she only smiled with a bit of interest: "Since it's the old man who spoke, I have to go to Brother Chi. Sanxian Temple. It's not a big deal, Qingque, you will prepare it tomorrow, and we will leave early the next day."
"what?"
As soon as these words came out, Qingque was surprised, and Xue Chi was also stunned.
He was anxious and called out pitifully: "Mother, you clearly said before that I don't have to join in the fun, we are just going to watch the fun. The boy already has so many gentlemen..."
"Mother can't do anything about it."
Lu Jinxi turned around, walked back to Xue Chi, put his hands on his shoulders and sighed, staring at him with a bit of sincerity and sigh.
"Great-grandfather is not an ordinary person. He is an elder and also cares about you. We must be going, but you don't have to worry too much. There are so many people in the capital who have to be apprentices, and Jinke's Juzi, you are five years old. My child, where is it so easy to be picked? Just take it as a trip, okay?"
"… "
not good.
not good at all.
Xue Chi only looked at her with resentful eyes, and looked like she was about to cry, but when she met Lu Jinxi's eyes, she nodded involuntarily, and said in a low voice, "Okay, okay..."
It's a big deal, when the time comes, it's time to hand in a blank paper.
Without much effort, the great-grandfather couldn't blame his mother.
So, the matter of February 23 Xian Temple was settled like this.
Xue Chi was extremely reluctant, but because there was a lot of excitement and he didn't think he had the ability to be picked, he wasn't really worried;
The green sparrow and egret were all astonished.
After all, Lu Jinxi had just rejected Wei Xian's invitation to travel together not long ago, and he regretted it as soon as he turned his face.
But they couldn't guess.
After all, after Lu Jinxi fell ill, although he was still the gentle-looking person, his way of dealing with things was turned upside down, and it was not something they could guess.
Lu Jinxi ordered them to go to the day when Zhang Luo was traveling, and asked someone to inform Wei Xian and invite her to go with him.
Wei Xian was very happy to know that she had changed her mind at first.
But the general's mansion is so big, and it didn't take long for her to realize that it was the "credit" of the old man's letter, so she locked up in her own room and scolded Lu Jinxi, feeling that she was being despised.
But two days later, she still showed up at the side door with her maid.
The carriages leaving the house are ready, three in front and behind. The two cars are for people, and the rear car is used to store various utensils that I don't know if I will use them - most of them are Wei Xian's.
"Who doesn't know second sister-in-law that you are taking Brother Chi to take the exam? I'm going on a trip. What if you need these things?"
Wei Xian pinched a fan of Concubine Xiang, and Nana walked down the road.
Lu Jinxi was surprised that she brought a lot of things, and asked the maid, but she didn't expect her to come.
Hearing her voice, she just turned around with a smile, and said with a smile: "It's a good thing that my younger brother and sister are well thought out and have everything they bring. Brother Chi is going to take an exam to see if he can be honored to worship Mr. I won’t go. At that time, I will have to travel with my younger brother and sister in the mountains and waters, and I hope that my younger brother and sister will not dislike my improper preparation.”
Wei Xian was the daughter of the Grand Fu's mansion.
There is nothing, just a wealthy family and a lot of dowry. It is said that he holds several shops on Sitong Street in the capital, not to mention the fields in the suburbs of Beijing.
The things she uses are naturally extremely delicate and delicate, far exceeding the general level of the General's Mansion.
Lu Jinxi is a joke.
Wei Xian also knew that although Lu's wealth was not as rich as her own, she was not someone who covets this, so she didn't bother to talk to her right now, so she just snorted: "It's better to stop talking nonsense, and get out of the city while it's early in the morning. Today's Sanxian Temple, I don't know how lively it is!"
This is true.
Originally, on February 2, there were many people who went to Xiaozhong Mountain for a green outing and to the Sanxian Temple to burn incense, not to mention that there is still a Gu Juefei who wants to join in the fun.
The popularity of the whole capital is about to gather, and I still don't know what the gate of the city will be like.
When Lu Jinxi thought about it, she felt a little headache, so she turned around and asked, "Why haven't you met the eldest son and brother Chi?"
"Mother, here I come!"
As soon as the voice fell, a shout came from the road.
When everyone looked back, they saw Xue Chi running in front with short legs, looking in a hurry, waving to Lu Jinxi as he ran.
The lame Xue Tingzhi followed behind.
Others are tall, and although their legs and feet are inconvenient, they can take a few steps ahead of Xue Chi with one step.
The maids and old ladies followed behind, all of them looked terrified.
Not long ago, Lu Jinxi arranged for Xue Tingzhi's maid Xiangzhi, who was wearing a azure jacket and followed closely behind Xue Tingzhi.
As soon as Wei Xian saw it, he glanced at him like this, but covered his lips with Concubine Xiang: "Yeah, why did the second sister-in-law bring him?"
This "he", of course, refers to Xue Tingzhi.
Lu Jinxi also looked from a distance, the corners of his lips were still hooked, but it was a little lukewarm: "They are all children of the generals, what can't you bring?"
Even though she said that, she remembered what happened yesterday.
Mrs. Xue's letter was sent back the day before yesterday; yesterday, Time School was closed, and the gentlemen said that the students should go back and prepare for tomorrow.
At that time, Lu Jinxi was being twisted by Xue Chi to tell a story.
As soon as he finished speaking, "General Xue paid three visits to the cottage to invite Mr. Cai", it was spread outside that Xue Tingzhi had come to greet him. Lu Jinxi asked someone to invite him in, but he was outspoken and told Lu Jinxi directly that he also wanted to go to the Shrine on February 23.
Xue Tingzhi was a concubine, and was born of an orchid.
In the mansion, he has always kept a low profile when he can keep a low profile, and he has no sense of existence for more than ten years, let alone something like being strong.
Lu Jinxi was surprised at the time.
Even when it was time to go out today, she actually didn't quite understand what Xue Tingzhi was thinking: Born of Orchid, her blood was impure; she suffered from leg disease, and her appearance was poor. This has almost eliminated his "official career". Even if he is fortunate enough to be a teacher, what's the use
"Meet Mother."
When he reached Lu Jinxi, Xue Tingzhi stopped and bowed.
He was wearing a dark blue robe today.
A silver-embroidered leather belt was tied around his waist, which only made him look tall and long. In addition, he had a handsome face, a deep outline, and deep pupils, but he showed a sickly paleness.
Lu Jinxi stared at him, nodded lightly, and glanced at Xue Chi, who was out of breath: "I guess you know that you are waiting for Brother Chi to come so late, and you have worked hard for you. It's getting late, so you and Brother Chi will sit together. behind."
"Yes."
Xue Tingzhi bowed in response.
Xue Chi was taken aback and opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he looked at the people around him, but he still didn't say anything. He bowed and saluted, and then walked towards the second car glumly.
Lu Jinxi stood beside the first car, watching the maids help Xue Chi up, and watching Xiangzhi help Xue Ting to get on the car.
At this time, Wei Xian sneered: "Hypocritical!"
Normal people think this way.
After all, he ignored Xue Tingzhi many years ago, and now he has to take a lame man to the Sanxian Temple. Who knows if he can use this shy son to set off his own son's thoughts
How could Lu Jinxi not see Wei Xian's thoughts
But she didn't care at all.
Xue Tingzhi is a man with a sharp blade in his heart. Although he is not old enough, his careful thinking is not comparable to ordinary people. Today's Xue Chi is just a little kid, how could he be able to outshine him
Therefore, she just smiled and didn't return to Wei Xian, so she boarded the carriage with Qingque Bailu's hand.
Wei Xian stood there, stunned for a moment, then reacted and shouted angrily: "Lu Jinxi, are you so shabby? You even let me take a car with you?!!"
That voice could be heard by anyone walking outside the house.
But what can be done
Lu Jinxi arranged it like this.
Even though Wei Xian had all kinds of dissatisfaction, after shouting, he could only confess his fate with his nose pinched, and in the end he got into the car.
It's just that on the way out of the city to Xiaozhongshan, she just murmured and satirized Lu Jinxi all the way.
The green sparrows and egrets were all numb.
Only Lu Jinxi was still very interested. He lifted the curtain of the car and looked at the busy traffic outside, while listening to Wei Xian's words, occasionally saying a few words in agreement. But whether it is mood or expression, it is still motionless.
Wei Xian almost died of anger.
Who would have thought that Lu Jinxi would be such a tolerant person? After several trials and sarcasm, they all poured water on the stone, but nothing happened.
Therefore, after leaving the city, Wei Xian did not ask for trouble, and simply went to see the scenery outside, too lazy to speak.
At this point, the car was quiet.
Along the way, there are BMW cars all around.
The three cars in the General's Mansion were all submerged in the surrounding traffic. After queuing out of the city for a long time, I didn’t talk about it, and even after leaving the city, it was blocked all the way.
From the inner city to the small Zhongshan, it would have taken an hour and a half if it was fast, but they walked for nearly two hours.
Xiaozhong Mountain is outside the southern city, and in front of the mountain is Baiyue Lake, which has always been beautiful.
Sanxian Temple is built at the foot of the mountain.
The Yuewei Pavilion is built on the mountain and near the water. It is more than ten feet higher than the flat ground. It is a two-story pavilion and pavilion.
If you are out to play, it is an excellent place.
But now looking around, not cars or people, as well as those peddlers who smell the copper stench, all gathered here, the voices of speech, laughter, and hawking are intertwined.
The carriage of the General's Mansion had just reached the foot of the mountain, but it stopped moving.
The driver outside wiped his cold sweat and told the inside: "Ma'am, the front is blocked, I'm afraid we won't be able to get in until the cars that sent people leave."
When Lu Jinxi heard this, he immediately raised his forehead.
Wei Xian's face was also not good-looking. She expected it to be crowded, but she didn't expect it to be so crowded. Although it was easier to create opportunities for Lu Jinxi to "get out of the wall", it really made her not interested in playing.
For a while, the whole road was full of complaints.
"Looks like it won't be over for a while."
Lu Jinxi leaned against the window and sighed. He also felt why he had to suffer this, so he only opened the curtain.
A gust of warm wind, with a little peach blossom scent, floated in from a distance.
Accompanied, of course, there are also loud voices and the sound of horses and horses.
The few restaurants and teahouses on the roadside were already full of guests, and there were hardly any vacancies, not to mention the luxurious carriages along the road, blocking the surrounding roads.
The Sanxian Temple, where the incense is very popular in normal days, is just in front.
The location of the door was actually crowded with people. Looking around, they were all scholars and scholars dressed as literati, old and young, whispering to each other, but they didn't dare to make a loud voice.
The well-dressed servants of each family stood in the corner as if they did not dare to intervene among these people.
"My God, isn't this all the Juren masters this year?"
"Why are they all gathered here!"
"Why are they all outside the Sanxian Temple and don't go in to give incense?"
"Turtle, I don't know. There are so many great Confucians here, even a scholar would not miss it. Now standing outside and not getting incense, it must be the great Confucians inside."
Several drivers who drove the car couldn't help arguing about it.
Lu Jinxi heard it, but frowned slightly, his eyes fell on the door of the Sanxian Temple, but he did not take it back.
Inside the Sanxian Temple, the light was a little dim.
A few little daoists rubbed their incense and handed them respectfully to the seven people standing in the hall. Most of them were old men with white beards or elderly people with gray hair. Only one, Gu Juefei, was young and handsome.
The boy handed the incense to him, and he thanked him in a low voice.
When he turned his head, he saw that the children around him had already changed their faces, not when he came to worship when he participated in the exam six years ago.
Only the statues of the three sages, "Mingdao", "Yichuan" and "Nanjia", remain solemn.
Burning incense in hand.
Gu Juefei looked at it like this. In fact, he didn't have much respect in his heart. The sages have passed away, and there are only clay puppets in front of him. What is there to respect
He was just solemn on the face and contemptuous in his heart.
Thinking back on the hard times of the past six years, he finally just smiled, stepped forward and carefully inserted the incense stick into the incense burner under the statue of the Three Sages.
At this moment, an old sigh resounded in the hall: "The last time I saw Jean want to come here to offer incense, it was six years ago, not long after I crowned the crown, and I was a little young and frivolous, but now it's gone. You can see the Jokhang Temple. Six years have really worn away a lot of your sharpness."
Gu Juefei turned around and saw the six great scholars who had already finished their incense.
The person who just spoke was an old man with white hair and beard. He was very old, but his white hair was tied up with a green jade hairpin carved in the shape of a bamboo pen. His eyes were round and transparent, and he was as clean as a child.
At this moment, there is a bit of pity on the face, but there is a lot of admiration.
Gu Juefei smiled, cupped his hands and said, "It's all young and frivolous things. I also ask Ji Lao to save some face for Juefei, so I don't dare to mention it again."
"Hahaha, you, you, you! It's still the same!" The old man couldn't help laughing when he heard it, "But that's right, grind it well. The wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it. Zhe, the wise are jealous of the heavens. You have been jealous of the heavens for the past six years, and you are considered to be the favor of the heavens.”
A few old men around, seeing Gu Juefei like this, also sighed slightly.
They and Gu Juefei are both teachers and friends. They have always been friends with them because of their great talents, not to mention that they are going to start the fasting together today and accept students.
Seeing that Gu Juefei wasted these six years, how could he not be emotional
On the other hand, Gu Juefei's response was mediocre, but he waved his hand and said: "You gentlemen have been talking about Juefei's ears in the past few days. There are countless outstanding students today, waiting for you to choose. After reading the Weiwei Museum, let's continue to reminisce."
"Hahaha… "
Several people heard the slight helplessness in his words, and laughed together, but they didn't say more, just two or three walked casually together, heading out of the Sanxian Temple.
There are already countless people waiting outside.
The group of scholars next to the door, seeing the figure from a distance, became even more excited, and at the same time immediately quieted down.
After a few gentlemen came out and stood on the steps, all of them bowed and bowed: "Waisheng waiting to see you gentlemen!"
Seven people with different temperaments.
But no matter what it looks like or what age it is, there is a kind of unremarkable taste, only the demeanor reveals that poetic charm, which makes people feel extraordinary.
Even with gray hair, it is still a "Confucianism" character, which is "belly of poetry and literature."
Lu Jinxi heard the movement and saw it from a distance.
Of course, I also saw Gu Juefei standing in the middle. A green robe, which seems to reflect the mountains and rivers, is tall and straight like a pines and green cypresses, even if he stands shoulder to shoulder with several great scholars of the world, he has not lost half of his charm.
The huge bronze incense tripod was placed at the entrance of the Sanxian Temple.
At this moment, a curl of blue smoke is rising, swaying and swaying, dissipating under the blue sky, as if it wants to be entangled with white clouds. Among the green mountains and clear waters, these scenes make people feel peaceful and peaceful.
But her eyes only fell on Gu Juefei's face.
The edge of the lips is elegant and handsome, the eyes seem to be flowing with the mountain stream, and the gestures are full of handsome and handsome postures.
What a painting.
Who in the world does not admire it when they see it
But she only remembered the letter that was sent to her from Mrs. Xue Zhuangzi...
Originally, she had planned to stop and let Gu Juefei, an old grass, go alone, but who would have thought that he would be so hard on him and used his strategy on Mrs. Xue.
It's really "heaven has a way, you don't go, hell has no door, you just go"!
Lu Jinxi looked at the figure, only when the other party's eyes swept in this direction, he slowly loosened his fingers and let the car curtain fall to cut off all sight outside.
There was a smile on his lips, but there was a bit of coldness in the softness.
Since opening that letter, her original plan to hide has changed.
Now it's Gu Juefei who brings it to the door by herself, she really feels sorry for herself if she doesn't eat it!
As for after eating...
Of course there is no responsibility.
At most, it's a little more troublesome to deal with, but it won't kill people.
Most of the people who have no experience in love think that love is a beautiful thing.
But in fact, that's not the case.
Lu Jinxi felt that it was very necessary for him to let Gu Juefei and other older men experience the beauty and cruelty of the various emotions and desires in the world...
Um.
Mainly cruel.
