The first time he saw the gate of the Jokhang Temple, she left him a trace of curiosity;
When he met again in the alley of Taishifu, he thought she was gentle and considerate at first, and he was really a rare confidant, but at the end he realized that he might be looking at flowers in a fog, and he didn't even know her true face.
From this, there was the shocking "self-recommendation" in the eldest princess' mansion, the plan to be Mr. Xue Chi today, and the "impulse" when Han Moxuan "reunited by chance"...
It's not that no woman has ever seduced him, but no one has ever made him think.
Perhaps just as Princess Yongning objected, there were some dark and ulterior motives hidden in his various interests and approaches to Lu Jinxi...
But at this moment, all of this is gone.
He no longer remembered that she was Xue Kuang's widow, nor that she was the first lady of the General's Mansion, nor that she might be the hunter who was going to bring him into the game...
In the bottom of my heart, there is only such a voice that is getting clearer and clearer—
want to see her.
Here and now, at this moment.
Nothing else, nothing else.
The warm fingers rubbed the edge of the answer sheet like this, like rubbing a heart that suddenly became warm.
Gu Juefei raised his eyes, but looked out the half-closed window.
Endless light and shadow fell into his eyes like this, but it condensed into a halo that did not disperse, with the purest depth.
After a long time, he smiled slowly and shouted to the door, "Chen Fan, come in."
On Baiyue Lake, boats are flowing, and tourists are like weaving.
The blue sky and white clouds are reflected on the lake water, and the blue paddles row past, stirring up a shimmering wave like a fish tail. In the gurgling sound of the water, there is laughter and laughter among the tourists.
In the pavilion beside the lake embankment, Wei Xian only met Lu Jinxi not long ago.
But at this time, neither of them spoke.
Lu Jinxi leaned lightly on the railing of the pavilion, looking into the distance, as if concentrating on enjoying the scenery.
But Wei Xian, who was sitting at the stone table behind her, was obsessed with Concubine Xiang's fan, staring at her profile without blinking, wishing to see a flower on her face.
This trip to the Sanxian Temple was initiated by Wei Xian at the beginning.
She "sincerely" invited Lu Jinxi to invite Lu Jinxi, but she was selfish: with a face like Lu Jinxi, as long as she went out for a walk, she might run into some princes and grandsons; not to mention, she had other arrangements.
But just now, she suddenly felt that those plans seemed unnecessary.
Guess what she just saw
Originally, she and Lu Jinxi had an appointment to meet again at the Sanxian Temple, and then they would go out to play together. After she burned the incense, she saw that there were many people, so Lu Jinxi should wait for her in a place with few people, so she entered the deserted garden next to her.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she entered, she saw Lu Jinxi talking to a man face to face next to the holly tree!
God, that's Lu Jinxi!
Wei Xian was stunned.
But Lu Jinxi's expression was calm, and she didn't feel guilty when she came over. On the contrary, there was a little bit of kitten in the eyes of the man standing near her.
It's not like Wei Xian doesn't know anything about niece.
She is the daughter of the Grand Fu's mansion. Even though the third master, Xue Rin, is not skilled enough and his official position is not high, she has a deep understanding of some personnel situations in the court.
Almost as soon as she saw the scar at the corner of the man's eye, Wei Xian's name popped out in his heart—
Fang Shaoxing.
Xue Kuang's old department, a sergeant who had made great contributions on the battlefield in the past, has recently been troubled by the suicide of her sister-in-law Weiyi, and has been demoted to an ordinary Jinwuwei.
How are they here
what are they saying
Fang Shaoxing is a prostitute. What does it mean to look at Lu Jinxi with that kind of eyes
…
One question after another, like fish spitting bubbles, floated to Wei Xian's heart lake.
Just after seeing her, Lu Jinxi naturally ended the conversation with Fang Shaoxing, turned around and walked towards her, and walked out of the Sanxian Temple with her as if nothing had happened, and came here to swim the lake.
From beginning to end, she didn't explain a single sentence.
In Wei Xian's heart, a bunch of cat claws were scratching.
But looking at Lu Jinxi, her face was as beautiful as ever, her eyes were filled with light smoke and mist, and there was a bit of haze in the clear, but she didn't take her eyes back at all.
Not cramped, not even the slightest clue.
Wei Xian was a little discouraged.
As soon as Lu Jinxi turned around, he saw her expression, and he couldn't help laughing: "The scenery of the lake and mountains is very good, it's a good time to enjoy the scenery. My younger brother and sister are sitting there, but they can't see anything. I don't know, I thought it was today. I'm going to force you to come."
Wei Xian asked her to go out on a green trip with no purpose at all.
It's just that when she heard what she meant, she didn't feel guilty at all, she smiled back, and Concubine Xiang slapped a dozen, half-truth and half-truth: "Isn't I scared by the second sister-in-law? I was going to look for you in the garden, but I ran into you..."
The remaining half of the conversation was deliberately elongated, but it was not said.
This is what it says...
I don't know what terrible things I thought she had encountered behind her!
Lu Jinxi raised his eyebrows slightly, calmly, and Qingyue's voice was a little charming, and only said: "Master Fang is the old general of the general, and it's not good to say a few words when you meet me by chance. What amazing thing have I done?"
People meet in the garden, not alone.
Besides, there has always been a tradition of women going out to take charge of the general's mansion. Even if it is not so natural now, other people can't break Lu Jinxi's head.
Wei Xian wished that she could be a little more "unbearable", so as to save her from worrying about Lu Jinxi's remarriage.
It's a pity that the scene just now was not at all intense.
It's hard to hide the resentment on her face, but she doesn't appreciate Lu Jinxi's irony, she just hides her smile and says, "It's all my fault. We're going to swim in the lake in a while, second sister-in-law, don't think about it because of me. Talking mouth, bad mood."
This attitude turned around.
Lu Jinxi thought about what Wei Xian said when she first came here with a gun and a stick, and thinking about it now, she only thinks that there must be medicine hidden in her gourd.
Right now, don't think about it.
She has nothing to be afraid of when she is recruited.
The two of them came here just now, and seeing a lot of tourists, they didn't go to join in the fun. But after resting in the pavilion for a while, the number of people swimming in the lake has gradually decreased.
Lu Jinxi looked at the heart of the lake, and the time was just right, so she turned around and instructed Egret Qingque to go to the center.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, there was another voice, which was inserted under the pavilion.
"Little Chen Fan, meet the general's wife."
This voice, with a bit of a thick taste, is crisp.
Lu Jinxi was stunned for a moment, took back the unspoken words, and turned to look at the source of the voice.
It was a boy of thirteen or fourteen.
Wearing a blue cloth, he was not tall and his appearance was ordinary. Those eyes are big, dark, clean and bright.
The others were probably running over, sweating on their foreheads, panting for breath, and bowing under the pavilion.
"No need to be polite, are you?"
Lu Jinxi had never seen such a young man, let alone heard Guo's name, which was a bit strange for a while.
"Young Master Gu is serving you, but Mr. Meng came to give gifts a few days ago, so you don't recognize me."
Chen Fan has been with Gu Juefei for more than six years, but Gu Juefei usually doesn't call him, and throws everything to Meng Ji.
Today, it was because Meng Ji was presiding over the exam downstairs, and he couldn't move his hands, so he had the opportunity to come out and run errands for Gu Juefei.
After introducing his origins, Chen Fan said with a smile on his face: "Just now, in the reading micro library, the answer sheet for the first question of the second round of exams has come out. It will take some time for you, Madam, please go to the reading micro library. Come to the museum."
"ah."
Wei Xian on the side suddenly showed a surprised expression.
Even Lu Jinxi didn't expect it, and was stunned: the result of the first question came out, and she was invited to come over. What this means is too clear!
Needless to say, among the two sons of the Xue family, there must be someone who has been favored by the husband.
only…
Lu Jinxie remembered: Xue Chi didn't want to pay tribute to Mr. Xue, and said that he would hand in a blank. Even if Gu Juefei wants to "routine" her again, he won't do it too much, right
So…
Is it Xue Tingzhi
This thought flashed through his mind, but Lu Jinxi didn't ask much.
After all, Wei Xian is still beside him at the moment, and this Chen Fan is from Gu Juefei's side. If one accidentally asks too much and reveals some clues, it will be difficult to handle.
"Today Japan is here to give the children the opportunity to learn from their teachers. Gentlemen are invited, so I have no reason not to go. It's just that my younger brother and sister are here..."
As she spoke, she turned around apologetically and looked at Wei Xian.
What else can Wei Xian say
In fact, if she hadn't bumped into Fang Shaoxing's appearance today, she would definitely be unhappy now. After all, she had arranged a few people on the lake to give Lu Jinxi a look.
But right now...
She felt that the few people she was looking for were not as good as those above. Rather than waiting for them to hook up with Lu Jinxi, it is better to wait and see what happens, push the boat with the current, and let the betting party go less.
So Wei Xian was very generous and said with a smile, "Second sister-in-law, go as far as you can, it's the children's affairs that matter, and it doesn't matter if you go to the lake slowly. What's more, even if the second sister-in-law can't come back for a while. , I'll do it myself. Please rest assured, second sister-in-law. "
Only then did Lu Jinxi say a few polite words and left with Chen Fan.
Halfway through, she asked Chen Fan, "Is it the eldest son of our family, or the young son?"
Chen Fan was stunned for a moment, almost didn't understand. After thinking for a while, he shook his head: "The eldest son just asked me to invite you, but didn't say anything else, so the younger one doesn't know."
This Gu Juefei...
Lu Jinxi's heart suddenly became unhappy, and she frowned secretly, and with one side of her eyes, she saw that Chen Fan was full of vigor, as if he didn't have the slightest bit of Chen's house, but he didn't look like Gu Juefei, an old fox and a painted skin demon.
She was a little curious: "You just said your name, what are the two words?"
Chen Fan smiled: "Chen Fan, Chen Pi's Chen, porridge rice."
With a "puchi", Lu Jinxi laughed, her eyebrows squinting: "I was just thinking about whether it could be a homophone, so I came to ask you. I didn't expect that you are really this name. It was your eldest son who came up with it Is it?"
"No, my parents gave it to me."
In fact, everyone would laugh when they heard this name, but the smile was so gentle and beautiful, without ridicule or malice, but Chen Fan had never seen a few.
So I don't know why, I suddenly remembered what happened before.
At that time he was still leaning against the corridor reading a book.
The voice of Gu Juefei calling him in was heard in the room.
Chen Fan knew that Gu Juefei had something to order, so he went in quickly. Who would have thought to push the door, but saw his finger pressing on an answer sheet, with an expression on his face that he had never seen before.
As if being enveloped by something, he could see a little smile again.
Like happy, like sad.
Anyway, Chen Fan felt that he didn't understand.
He only heard Gu Juefei say, went to inquire, invited the general's wife from the general's residence, and said that the answer sheet for the first question in the second round had been completed.
The words "Mrs. General" made a circle on the tip of his tongue, a little slow, a little soft, and a little stagnant.
It actually made Chen Fan feel like his demeanor, which was hard to fathom.
After all, he was still young and didn't know much about the thoughts of adults.
But vaguely, Chen Fan felt that this beautiful lady in front of him might have a different meaning to his son.
In addition, Lu Jinxi gave him a good impression, so he couldn't help but say a few more words.
"My father and my mother are farmers in Quzhou, and I just hope that I will be able to eat enough when I grow up. It's just that my surname is Chen, so it's funny to call the name as a child, and no one doesn't laugh when I hear it. Only our family is big When the young master met me, he praised me for having a good name, so he took me by his side and didn't change his name."
"It's a good name indeed."
At this point, Gu Juefei actually thought the same as her: with the good wishes of her parents, could it not be a good name
She couldn't help but smile, but didn't ask any more questions.
From the pavilion by the Baiyue Lake to the Yuewei Pavilion, there is not much road in total.
When Lu Jinxi left with Egret Qingque, it was still lively and lively. At this moment, many people who fell out of the first round went to play, so there were a lot fewer people, and finally there was some peace between the independent landscapes.
Chen Fan led her and walked straight into the lobby.
"The list posted on the front is the list of people who passed the first round and entered the second round, but I didn't read it. They all took the exam in the hall.
The decoration of Yuewei Pavilion is natural and elegant.
When Lu Jinxi walked in, he looked around and saw the screen Chen Fan was talking about, so he couldn't help but stop under it for a while to look carefully.
Eyes crossed over the names.
At the end, he stopped and saw the word "Xue Chi". His heart was so shocked that he almost didn't react.
Why is it only Xue Chi
Gu Juefei hinted to Lu Jinxi early in the morning that he would accept this kid as a student, so it is not surprising to have Xue Chi's name. But only Xue Chi's name surprised her.
Xue Chi was not the only one taking the exam today.
Although she didn't know much about Xue Tingzhi, just by looking at the books in his room and thinking about his usual manner of speaking, she could know that this shy son's knowledge would not be bad.
Not to mention, he was the one who "please order" to come here, so he should go all out for the exam in front of him.
Did she overestimate Xue Tingzhi because she didn't know much about the knowledge of people of this era
Lu Jinxi felt a little suspicious for a while, and frowned slightly.
"Now our son is upstairs, waiting for you, please..." Chen Fan was still talking, but he turned his head unexpectedly, but saw Lu Jinxi stopped in front of the screen, with a vaguely solemn expression, He couldn't help asking, "Madam, are you alright?"
"fine."
Lu Jinxi shook his head, but the layer of worry in his eyes did not dissipate.
The direction Chen Fan led was the stairs leading to the second floor.
But when she was about to go up, she suddenly felt a little uneasy, and only turned around and instructed Egret Qingque: "The eldest son didn't make it to the second round, so he is not allowed to walk outside at this moment. Although he is accompanied by Xiangzhi, he is not It's very convenient. The two of you split up and look for it, don't lose anyone. When you find it, come back here and wait for me."
The egret blue bird was startled.
But both of them are thoughtful people, and they knew immediately that Lu Jinxi was worried about what happened to Xue Tingzhi: there are many scholars who jumped into the river after falling off the list. Although the eldest son seems not to be like this, but...
What if
As soon as they thought of this, both of them responded.
Lu Jinxi then nodded, and let Chen Fan lead the way as usual. He went to the second floor of the Yuewei Building, and walked past one, two, three private rooms...
Finally stopped in front of a private room in the southwest corner.
Not the Lanzi Room.
Next to the door hangs a small wooden sign with the word "bamboo" engraved on it. At the end of the corridor, it is a little more secluded than the Lanzijian in front.
The door was closed, but I couldn't see what was inside.
Chen Fan stepped forward and tapped lightly: "Eldest son, Mrs. General is here."
There was a voice that was not very emotionally audible, and only said: "I see, you step back."
retreat, retreat
Chen Fan was stunned for a moment, only glanced at the hidden door, and then looked at Lu Jinxi beside him.
After a while, I don't know what I thought, a childish face immediately turned red, and I didn't even have the courage to look at Lu Jinxi again.
After stumblingly replied "yes", it was like running for his life, and he ran away without a trace!
"… "
This kid, what are you doing running so fast
Still blushing
Obviously she and Gu Juefei have nothing now, and it seems that there is nothing to do if you give him a run.
Lu Jinxi was in the same place, but in desperation, he immediately remembered the hand that he quietly withdrew from Hanmo Xuan last time, a little trick.
how do you feel...
At this moment, Gu Juefei also deliberately dismissed Chen Fan, turning "there was nothing" into "it seems to be something"
Looking at the hidden door in front of him, Lu Jinxi felt an inexplicable sense of vigilance in his heart, and many thoughts flashed through his mind.
But in the end, before she could think of a reason, she heard a "squeak".
The door is open!
A light chuckle sounded not far in front of her: "It's all at the door, and the madam hasn't come in yet, but do you think it's indecent?"
It was Gu Juefei.
His hands rested lightly on the door, still not wearing the usual crane cloak; his light blue robe was simple, with a hint of a floating cloud hiding crane; a silver silk leather belt tied his waist, which seemed to be more prosperous.
The long eyebrows are drawn in ink, and the eyes are like lacquer.
One faction of Qing Jun is calm, Yuan Ting Yue Zhi.
It is already so pleasing to the eye, it is like a spring breeze.
The moment he saw Lu Jinxi, a layer of light brilliance suddenly passed through his dark eyes, which seemed to be calm, but it seemed to be condensed by a dense fog.
He looked at her clearly, reflecting her figure.
But at this moment, for some reason, Lu Jinxi felt that it was very vague, something was hidden, and he couldn't tell clearly.
She was startled.
But before she could see clearly, Gu Juefei seemed to have sensed her inquiry, so she lowered her eyes lightly, her long eyelashes hanging down, blocking her vision.
He turned sideways and said, "Madam, please come in."
It seems that something is not right.
Lu Jinxi's heartbeat accelerated for no reason, and she felt a little uneasy. But this old grass has given way, she has no reason not to go in.
after all…
She was still thinking about how to let Gu Juefei, who is seeking his own death, know the "beauty" and "cruel" of feelings.
Even if a man and a widow live together in the same room, it is not her disadvantage.
Such a thought flashed through my heart, and that moment of hesitation was easily dispelled.
Lu Jinxi had a three-point warm breeze and a clear snow-like smile on her lips, but after saying "eldest son is polite", she stepped through the door and looked inside.
The house is not big, but it fits the word "bamboo" hanging on the door.
There is a set of celadon tea set fired into the shape of bamboo joints on a rectangular table made of red sandalwood wood, with a few hexagonal bamboo armchairs lined up behind it, and a bamboo curtain of Xiang Fei hangs down in front of the open window.
By the window, there is a piano stand with a banjo on top.
A blue bamboo-shaped jade flute was casually placed beside the qin and pressed on a folded piece of rice paper with faint traces of calligraphy and ink.
Lu Jinxi's gaze naturally stayed on that page for a while longer.
She couldn't help but remember what Chen Fan said earlier, and heard Gu Juefei closing the door behind her, so she asked, "The eldest son asked me to come here, saying that the results of the second round of the test papers have come out. But my brother Chi is What it looks like, I can't know it any more. In the first round, he will definitely hand in a blank paper. If the eldest son does this, isn't he afraid of being too criticized?"
objection
Gu Juefei had just closed the door, and when he heard this sentence, the fingers resting on the cool bamboo carving on the door leaf trembled slightly.
He couldn't hold back and looked back at her.
Lu Jinxi stood very close, just two steps away from the door, and did not walk around, just waiting for his "host" to lead the way.
Obviously just standing there so simply, but the whole body seems to be surrounded by ten miles of elegance.
Like a waterfall of blue silk, it is pulled into a charming bun, and a delicate grass head worm hairpin full of pearls is installed, which makes it more and more shiny like a pearl; its eyebrows are like the mountains in the distance, and the lips seem to contain Zhu Zhidan; Through, graceful posture.
After talking to him, he turned to one side and looked back.
Wearing a Gu Xiang skirt, the skirt is elegant, and it is as small as a lonely dragon in smoke.
"Eldest son?"
She hadn't heard Gu Juefei's answer for a long time, and she was a little surprised for a while, so she couldn't help looking at him.
But I didn't expect that this look, just happened to bump into the pair of eyes that were looking at him.
For a moment, their eyes met.
Her lightness was like the moon in a smoke cage; but hiss made her inexplicably give birth to layers of shock.
The dense fog that had swirled in his eyes before had dissipated at some point. A pair of jet-black eyes were extremely bright, like the cold stars in the sky and the lonely moon in the sky.
It was clear that the ice was on the ground, but there was another group of flames burning in it.
this look...
Why is something not quite right
Lu Jinxi's fingers tucked in his sleeves suddenly trembled, and he smelled a faint smell, and almost subconsciously took a step back towards the door.
This action revealed a little bit of unwarranted fear and caution.
However, Gu Juefei suddenly laughed, his footsteps approached casually, his eyes dimmed, and his voice was hoarse: "Juefei doesn't eat people, what is Madam afraid of?"
"… "
If it was just a bad premonition, then at this moment, this premonition has undoubtedly come true.
Lu Jinxi felt that she shouldn't be afraid, but the moment she touched Gu Juefei's eyes, she couldn't help the feeling of tingling in her scalp.
Shouldn't she be the one to eat the grass
But this look...
He's not quite right.
Her body tensed up, Lu Jinxi frowned slightly, shouted "Calm down", and did not retreat, she only spoke cautiously: "The eldest son's posture doesn't seem to be discussing this apprenticeship with me. "
She is very smart.
Gu Juefei just looked at her so straight, as if to see through her eyes, her heart wrapped in flesh and blood.
"Juefei wants to discuss with his wife something more reproachable than your son's apprenticeship."
"… What's the meaning?"
The warning line in his heart was instantly raised a lot, and Lu Jinxi's eyelids finally jumped, unable to hold back, and took another step back.
This action seemed inadvertent, but it fell into Gu Juefei's eyes, but it was extremely dazzling.
The light in his eyes flickered slightly, the smile on his lips was a little deep, and he only said lightly: "I want to marry you."
... ! ! !
Thunderbolt, but that's it!
Lu Jinxi couldn't believe his ears. He only felt that he had fallen into evil recently. He was stabbed by Gu Juefei's shallow words, and he was suddenly anxious on the outside and tender on the inside.
The scalp was no longer numb, but exploded directly!
Can it be okay
We just met each other, and we didn't talk about love, love, and we just talked about the word "marriage"
Even if she wanted to make Gu Juefei feel the "beautiful" and "cruel" of her emotions, but at this moment, she only had a feeling of being kicked to the iron plate.
It's really... too dangerous to bring up the matter of marriage at any time.
Not good.
Really bad.
The wind is tight, and it's still bullshit!
"Well, the eldest son, that, you and I originally met by chance, and we didn't know each other. We just met a few times, and we talked about marriage. It's really incompatible with etiquette, right? This..."
She hesitated and said, she has quietly reached out to the door with her backhand, trying to run away.
But the next moment...
A slender and lustrous palm like a jade bamboo stretched out from the side of her face, and pressed lightly on the door leaf, with a smell that could not be rejected or escaped.
Lu Jinxi suddenly stiffened.
Gu Juefei's deep and mellow voice suddenly came close to her, close to her ear, and with that faintly strong aura, it rushed over, trapping her in this space.
"But I feel that I have had a personal relationship with my wife. I should be responsible to my wife when it comes to love and reason..."
Privately granted
Still responsible for her? !
This…
How feudal are you!
Lu Jinxi almost turned black with anger, gritted his teeth and said, "What personal relationship did I have with the eldest son? But we only said a few words after seeing each other. If we even talk about marriage, the eldest son wants to marry. I'm afraid it will fill the Grand Master's residence!"
…
It turned out that in her opinion, those are not private gifts
Gu Juefei raised his eyebrows slightly, pressing his left hand on the door leaf beside her fair neck, motionless, but there was a slight coldness in his eyes.
At this moment, he was too close to her.
With his toes pressed against his toes, his arrogant body, like a cold mountain, stood in front of her, forcing her to stick her back against the door, so she couldn't move a little more.
It was so clear that you could see every nuanced expression on her snow-like face.
"Give and receive privately..."
If that doesn't count.
Gu Juefei's long eyelashes trembled lightly, and his thin lips twitched, but there was a cool laugh in his slenderness: "Lu Jinxi, do you have to force me to belittle you?"
Light, flimsy
At this moment, Lu Jinxi was almost stunned by the words he suddenly said!
Her moist lips parted slightly, she looked at him with unconcealed astonishment, but an extremely strange feeling came up from the bottom of her heart:
heaven...
Dropped pie
