This virtuous concubine is really strange.
Lu Jinxi was stunned that he had not guessed the slightest possible clue, nor did he understand the origin of Wei Yi's phrase "a fool has a foolish blessing".
Where did the Lu family have any "blessings"
The childhood sweetheart was separated by an imperial decree from the new emperor. The newlywed husband not only did not love her, but also brought back a concubine from Orchid. widowed.
She is kind and weak, how can she support that huge general's mansion
After years of sparring, I have long since lost my personal style. Otherwise, Lu Jinxi would not be here now.
When it comes to saying "a fool has a foolish blessing", it depends on the person.
With a more dashing personality, he naturally felt that it was a good thing to be promoted and rich, for example, Lu Jinxi. The first-class official life is in hand, the family property is a lot of dowry, and the nominal husband is also dead. This is not to want to prostitute, cough no, sleep whoever wants to sleep? Naturally happy.
If someone else can replace it, it will cost people's lives.
If you don't change your position, you just say "stupid people have stupid blessings", but Wei Yi thinks she's smart and falls in Lu Jinxi's eyes, that's what she looks like.
She did understand a little, why she finally entered the palace.
Even if Wei Yi has some affection for Gu Juefei, Gu Juefei may not like her.
After standing in place for a while, Lu Jinxi sipped, and suddenly became a little curious about what happened between the two. But at this time, she didn't think much about it, she just pretended that she didn't see anyone, didn't listen to anything, just followed her own direction and walked around to enjoy the flowers at will.
The banquet in Rouyi Hall was scattered early, but the banquet in front of Taihe Hall was just at the lively place.
The first one was before the emperor spoke with the envoys of the Xiongnu, but the following civil servants and generals rarely had the opportunity to get together like this, and then added a few "immortals in wine", except for a few who were not very happy, the rest. The next one quickly became a piece.
Gu Juefei is naturally full of people here.
Surrounded by civil servants with low rank, most of them admire Gu Juefei's talent and name. When he had the opportunity to persuade him to drink, Gu Juefei was used to acting without leakage, and he didn't care whether the rank was low or high, and he could drink as much as he could.
However, when he was almost drunk, he was a little drunk.
Lu Jiuling, who used to be drinking with people in the small piece of the Rites, saw it from a distance, and couldn't help but feel a little worried about him.
Thinking that he still wanted to draw this young man to work at the Ministry of Rites, he pondered for a moment, and then said to the people around him: "You sit first, I have to persuade him a few words."
The people next to him were surprised, and they didn't understand what he was trying to persuade. They saw that Lu Jiuling had already left his seat and got up.
At this time, many people went to sober up and walk around, and few people noticed Lu Jiuling.
He walked all the way, and soon came to the vicinity of Gu Juefei, took a seat and sat down, pulled out a wine cup, poured himself a glass, and said earnestly: "You are still young, this wine is too much, It hurts in the end."
Gu Juefei was still drinking enough, and was just slightly drunk.
This is the most comfortable state for drinking, and he didn't intend to drink it without hesitation. I just heard Lu Jiuling's voice, and I didn't expect it.
"Master Lu, why are you here?"
"Didn't I see you drinking endlessly from a long distance away, are you afraid that your young man is not in control?" Lu Jiuling touched him with the wine cup, "It's not a problem to borrow wine to relieve worries, you, As I said earlier, you really think about it seriously."
said earlier...
Is it the matter of going to the Ministry of Rites to serve
Gu Juefei's brain turned so fast that he knew what Lu Jiuling was referring to without having to react. He didn't give a clear answer before, but he actually already had the answer in his heart.
I just didn't expect this old man to be so persistent
This is also worried about him, afraid that he is using wine to drown his sorrows and persuade himself.
At this moment, there was a warm feeling in his heart, but the next moment he felt very cold, and even the temperature brought by the delicious wine in his stomach could not drive away this chill.
Looking at the wine cup that Lu Jiuling had touched in his hand, he smiled and took it up and drank it.
"Please don't worry, Mr. Juefei. Besides, you have been promoted, so what should I worry about?"
"Hahaha… "
That's right, Lu Jiuling immediately became happy. He drank a lot himself, and he was a little over the top. This time, he immediately took a picture of the table in front of him.
"That's right, you were taught by the old man anyway, so you're a student in name. Your father is not doing this kindly, don't worry, I'll scold him for you later!"
Gu Juefei listened to the music immediately, so he thought: "This is not good..."
"What's wrong?"
Lu Jiuling didn't realize that this was a trap. Hearing that Gu Juefei wanted to block, she insisted on jumping down and waved directly at him.
"Where is the reason why I don't let my son be an official? I really don't know what he thinks. Anyway, I'm classmates with him. If nothing happens, don't worry, it's on me."
As he said that, he poured himself another glass of wine and drank it with pride.
Gu Juefei watched and said nothing, but he was thinking about it in his heart, and he didn't know whether the old man was here to persuade him to drink, or to drink.
"Master, please drink less."
"Haha, it's alright, a handful of old bones and a healthy body." Lu Jiuling didn't take it seriously, and smiled happily, "I'm a happy person, and I'm in a good mood, so I can't help drinking two more glasses."
"Oh, is there a happy event?"
Gu Juefei's eyelids jumped inexplicably.
Lu Jiuling didn't hide it from him, but after all, it wasn't easy for too many people to hear, so she lowered her voice slightly: "My daughter is about to remarry! I'm asking Princess Yongning to help me see if there is a suitable candidate. ."
Is this what happened
Gu Juefei's eyelids jumped again, and he remembered the reaction of the other party when he volunteered himself in front of Princess Yongning last time, and secretly became unhappy.
"Really? That's really a good thing, congratulations to the boss for his long-cherished wish has been fulfilled."
"You still know me!"
Lu Jiuling was really happy. She had just chatted with Princess Yongning, and the other party was very supportive of it. It seems that even if the General's House does not agree with his daughter's remarriage, it is not a big deal.
"Anyway, if this happens, then it will be my long-cherished wish. Hey, speaking of your age, it's time to start a family and start a business, right? How is it? Is there any girl you like?"
girl
Gu Juefei wondered whether he would scare him if he wanted to tell the truth to Lu Jiuling, but shook his head and said with a smile, "The girl's words, I don't like any one."
What he saw was a woman from another family.
It is impossible for Lu Jiuling to hear the implication of this. Hearing Gu Juefei so much, he is worried about him: "You are not right, your vision is too high, it is not good for you to live, you have to look at your appearance and personality. You can't use your standard Come and pick a girl, so there are not many girls in the world who are worthy of you."
No, there are still some, but people don't want to.
Not only are they unwilling, but people just want to sleep and leave, and don't want to be responsible at all!
It's strange to say, how could Lu Jiuling have such a sincere temperament to raise such a monster like Lu Jinxi
Gu Juefei was actually a little puzzled when he thought of this.
It was only in the face of Lu Jiuling that he definitely couldn't say these words, so he said, "Boss, you have misunderstood me. Although Juefei's vision is high, it's not all others who are not worthy of me. There are also Juefei who are in love with me. , and people despise me."
"What?" These words startled Lu Jiuling, and as soon as the wine glass was put down, she blurted out in surprise, "Even you don't look down on it, what kind of girl is so blind?"
"Cough..."
The wine in his throat almost changed, Gu Juefei really didn't expect this "future" old man to look down on him so much, wanted to laugh but didn't think it was very appropriate, so he coughed quickly.
Lu Jiuling still didn't know that the "blind girl" she was talking about belonged to her own family. Seeing that he was choking, she hurriedly came to help him, without any pretense of senior officials or elders.
"Take it easy, take it easy, and I expect you to come back to the Ministry of Rites to help me."
There are two old and one young. One is sincere and doesn’t think much about it, and the other has ten thousand hearts hidden in his stomach, so he is not a heartbreaker, and the means are not clean.
But this time it's good, three or two sentences are made into one piece.
The people next to him looked at him, for fear of not knowing it, they thought that Lu Jiuling was Gu Juefei's father-in-law, so he took extra care of him.
Princess Yongning had just had a drink with the emperor, and was thinking of leaving the table to find a quiet place to blow the wind and sober up. Who would have thought that Yiyi would come and see Gu Juefei sitting and drinking with Lu Jiuling!
This time, my eyelids jumped, my feet were unstable, and I almost fell!
Gu Juefei had recommended himself in front of her! Not to mention that he even took Xue Kuang's posthumous son as a student in a wicked way!
How could she not see clearly what he was thinking
Simply obvious!
Now I just went to sit with Lu Jiuling without saying a word. Seeing that the old man and the young man are still chatting together
Although Princess Yongning is not the kind of person who thinks bad about everything, but this object is not necessarily when Gu Juefei is.
She only felt that Gu Juefei must be thinking about something.
Recently, Lu Jiuling also mentioned that Lu Jinxi should remarry, so please help me to plan. He can be considered to have watched Gu Juefei grow up, and he has always praised the eldest son of the Gu family...
Don't dare to ask him to sit with Gu Juefei all the time!
Not to mention that Gu Juefei's mind is deeper than the sea, that is, he had no purpose at all, and Princess Yongning didn't want Lu Jiuling to have a good impression of Gu Juefei.
With such a change in her mind, she followed her footsteps and walked towards Lu Jiuling.
"Master Lu, why are you drinking here?"
With a smile on her face, she glanced at Gu Juefei, who was silent, with a hint of warning. Princess Yongning stopped and stood in front of the two of them.
Lu Jiuling didn't expect Princess Yongning to come to greet her, she was a little surprised for a while, then she stood up with a smile on her face and cupped her hands: "I just want to see Jean here first, think of something, come and tell him. Say."
"Oh… "
When Princess Yongning listened to this, she only felt that the alarm bell in her heart was ringing.
"When I saw you in their group, I thought something big happened, so I came to take a look. Now that you're all right, you can rest assured. You, don't sit here for too long, there are colleagues from the Ministry of Rites over there. waiting for you."
"It's okay to be okay, and I didn't sit for a long time." Lu Jiuling didn't hear what Princess Yongning was saying, she just thought that this princess was a good person, cared for herself, and felt a little moved, "I have drunk with them all. It's been a round, but let me come here first, I've always complained for him. You say, why is the Master Taishi like this? It's really unkind to do this."
When Princess Yongning heard this, her head became big.
She didn't expect that Lu Jiuling would sincerely complain for Gu Juefei! This elbow just turned to someone else's house!
Looking at Gu Juefei next to him again, he didn't speak, but after hearing Lu Jiuling's words, he just took the wine glass and took a small sip, the smile on his face...
hiss!
hypocritical!
It's hypocritical!
Princess Yongning only felt that the whole person was not very good, and she couldn't even hold back the smile on her face. She scolded Gu Juefei a thousand times and ten thousand times in her heart, and turned to Lu Jiuling with a friendly face.
"You have to ask the old master about this. Hey, the master is here too?"
As she said that, she turned her head to look, and unexpectedly saw a familiar figure.
It turned out to be Gu Chengqian, who was sitting in the top position, came over!
He should have been drinking there too, and saw the situation here by chance. It is clear that his legs are not neat, but when he came over, the speed was not slow, as if there was some anger. Yi Zhang's wrinkled face was blue in color, and his lips were tightly pursed, looking a little scary.
Lu Jiuling heard the voice of Princess Yongning, and then looked up and saw Gu Chengqian.
Just seeing that his face was not very good, he was a little strange: "Why did Brother Gu come here too? What happened?"
"No big deal."
Gu Chengqian and Lu Jiuling have always been good friends, and they are not against this friend when they have a temper, so when they said this, they forced a smile.
But when he looked at Gu Juefei, there was no warmth in those old eyes.
Of course Gu Juefei saw it, but the absurd feeling in his heart was born again. On the one hand, he felt sad and ironic, and on the other hand, he found it funny.
From the eldest princess Yongning to his biological father, all of them guard him more than thieves!
Just sitting here and chatting with Lu Jiuling for a few words, they were so nervous before they said anything; I don't know what to talk about in the future, what will they look like
Lu Jinxi, ah Lu Jinxi...
It was his fate and his calamity, but unfortunately he was "blind", and he wasn't stupid at all.
He thought about it, and only looked back at Gu Chengqian lightly.
Facing Gu Chengqian, who was much higher in rank than his own, even his biological father, he actually sat there, without any intention of getting up, let alone addressing him.
If I didn't know, I'm afraid I would think that the two of them are political enemies who fight to the death in the court.
Princess Yongning looked at it, and felt a little uncomfortable in her heart for no reason. She sighed secretly, but there was nothing she could do.
Gu Chengqian was completely disappointed with this eldest son as early as the night when Gu Juefei threatened to marry Lu Jinxi, he didn't say hello, and he didn't bother to answer, just treated like a stranger who didn't talk a lot.
Immediately, he just stretched out his hand to help Lu Jiuling over: "I saw Brother Lu from a distance, and I suddenly remembered that you and I haven't had a drink together in a long time. Why don't you come over and have a drink."
"Hey, this is just right!" Lu Jiuling clapped her hands when she heard this, and while looking back at Chengqian, she talked to Gu Juefei, "I really can't help but want to talk to you. Let's go first, can you? Remember to stop drinking, and I'll talk to your father."
Gu Juefei smiled and stood up to bow his hands to him: "Please don't worry, Boss, remember Juefei, and don't dare to drink again."
From the demeanor, to the expression, to the tone, it's really a zhilanyushu, and I can't pick out the slightest mistake.
Lu Jiuling admired from the bottom of her heart when she saw it, waved her hands and walked away, turning her head and boasting to Gu Chengqian: "Hey, Brother Gu, I really envy you for raising such a good son."
Gu Chengqian recalled that scene, but felt like a needle was pierced in his heart, and he couldn't even speak.
The two elders left together and returned to their seats after a while.
When others saw it, they only felt that Lu Shangshu, a previously unremarkable person from the Ministry of Rites, suddenly became popular, and it was enough for Master Gu to talk to him. Not long after, the eldest Princess Yongning also came, and now even Grand Master Gu personally Come and walk with him!
Strange, what happened in this dynasty
Many people don't understand it.
But Princess Yongning and Gu Juefei, who were standing in the same place, understood better than anyone else.
As soon as the person left, the smile on Princess Yongning's face gradually disappeared, and she only stared at him with those deep eyes, with an undisguised warning in her tone: "Gu Juefei, Gu Da Gongzi, you are all dressed up. It's a sin, so let Mr. Lu enjoy his old age. If you tell him what you did back then, and let him tell him how to treat Mr. Taishi?"
After all, Gu Juefei was the real man behind the Hanshan Pass battle, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he was the "initiator".
It was he who plotted to kill Xue Kuang and let him die on the battlefield with no bones left; it was he who made Lu Jinxi kill his husband and widow; and it was he who made the children of the General's House lose their fathers when they were young...
Of course Lu Jiuling admired him, but if he knew all this and knew that he made his daughter suffer, would he still be able to tolerate him
Princess Yongning felt that she would not.
She has said it very clearly, and she doesn't think Gu Juefei can't guess the cause and effect connection. But she didn't expect that after hearing what she said, he actually laughed.
"How do you think about it? Lu Jiuling is a person with a clear-cut right and wrong. I don't think it's too late for him to be happy. The eldest princess is just afraid of being unfounded and worried too much."
"you!"
She knew that Gu Jue was not eloquent, but she seldom argued with others, but she never thought that one day she would experience the feeling of being mocked by him!
At this time, I forgot what I should say.
However, Gu Juefei didn't care so much. He threw his hands at her and said, "You can't stop what I want to do." He smiled, turned around and walked out of the table.
Princess Yongning stood there, his chest heaving with anger.
At this moment, I felt that Gu Juefei was really hateful!
How could she think of what Gu Juefei was thinking
If ordinary people knew that he made their daughter a widow, they would definitely hate him; but the root cause of Lu's tragedy was not Gu Juefei.
He did Xue Kuang's death; but what happened to the Lu family originated from the emperor and Xue Kuang!
In just three or two sentences, Gu Juefei could feel that Lu Jiuling was very displeased with Xue Kuang.
Even though he is famous, in the eyes of outsiders, he is the general of the country who is invincible in a hundred battles. But in Lu Jiuling's eyes, he was a "shameless" "courageous man". It was the wife who raised Orchid outside as a concubine before she even entered the door, and brought her son back to her daughter's shameless bastard. The ruthless man who made her suffer from the pain of the inner house!
With that appearance, he almost pushed him to the front of Xue Kuang's clothing tomb, and pointed at his tablet and scolded him.
I was afraid that when Xue Kuang died, he regretted a few words out of the righteousness of his family and country, but he might not have clapped his hands in private and shouted "Well died".
Now that his daughter is willing to remarry, he is as happy as the Chinese New Year.
Princess Yongning actually said that Lu Jiuling would hate Gu Juefei after learning the truth? That is really too ignorant of this old man.
Gu Juefei paced out, and before he knew it, he had already reached the gate of the palace. When he looked up, the sky was blue. Recalling how they looked like beasts in the prevention of floods, he couldn't hold back and shook his head and sighed.
There was a strong aroma of wine in the air.
He smelled it immediately, turned his head along the aroma of the wine, and saw Fang Shaoxing who was sitting by the side drinking.
There are already quite a few small wine jars on the ground.
Fang Shaoxing was also turning his head to look at Gu Juefei, as if he was a little curious as to why he, one of the people at the banquet, ran back to the gate of the palace and stood here sighing.
But he didn't say anything, he just sat on the ground with one leg straight and one leg crossed.
Gu Juefei's eyes passed over the silver spear leaning against the door wall and seemed to fall at any moment, and his mind moved.
But he didn't ask what he brought this thing for. Seeing him drinking, he just laughed and walked up to him and said, "Can you borrow two?"
The scar at the corner of the eye still has a faint smell of the ferocious past.
Fang Shaoxing just looked at Gu Juefei like that, and he didn't know if he recognized him or if he didn't know who he was at all. The corners of his eyes were filled with evil spirits, and he didn't say any nonsense. He directly mentioned a wine jar that had not yet been opened. , threw it to him.
Gu Juefei took it in his hand, thanked him, opened the mud seal and took a sip.
Fang Shaoxing raised his eyebrows and asked, "How?"
Gu Juefei only felt that the wine was very strong, and it burned to the bottom of his heart at once, and it burned hot somewhere in his heart, so he looked at the wine for a long time, and said with rare pride: "Good wine!"
"Hahaha, I thought you were weak scholars and couldn't drink."
Fang Shaoxing laughed, and then ignored him, just drinking and looking at the west-sloping sun in the sky, waiting for the hour he was waiting for.
There was no one in front of the Taiji Temple, and no one was held accountable.
Princess Yongning didn't even care where Gu Juefei went, she just thought of Lu Jinxilai again. There is also a man-eating Wei Yi in the harem. I don't know if it was disturbed by Gu Juefei's attitude, but she couldn't let it go.
After a little thought, he simply walked towards the Imperial Garden.
In this palace, she has always been unobstructed. Seeing her leaving the table and heading towards the harem, no one would dare to stop her.
The palace servant lifted her up on the shoulders and arrived at the imperial garden in half an hour.
Coincidentally, Lu Jinxi was still near the original corner, and was very lazy. He turned around without taking two steps, just at the corner of the imperial garden.
So Princess Yongning saw her as soon as she came.
Calling someone to press her shoulders down, she came down and walked over to Lu Jinxi and asked her, "Are you alright?"
"My niece has seen my aunt."
Lu Jinxi thought she was in the front court and would not go back, but when she first saw her, she was a little surprised, hurriedly bowed before getting up to answer.
"It's fine, nothing happened."
"Wei Yi didn't make things difficult for you, did he?"
Princess Yongning asked a direct question, and said that she glanced in the direction of Weiyi in front of her.
When Lu Jinxi heard this, she was a little startled.
Why do you think that Princess Yongning's question has a strange smell
From the words that Wei Yi said to herself, she could feel that she and Wei Yi had nothing to do with each other, and there was no hatred between her. How could the eldest princess ask this
She thought secretly, but pretended that she didn't hear anything, and replied in a proper manner: "Concubine Xian is a good lady, and she didn't embarrass her niece."
That's it.
Princess Yongning naturally knew some of the things between Gu Juefei and Wei Yi back then. Now Gu Juefei doesn't know which muscle cramps, she wants to marry Lu Jinxi, and she is naturally worried about what Wei Yi will do to Lu Jinxi.
"It's fine. Wei Yi isn't easy to get along with. You should stay away anyway."
"Yes."
In fact, Lu Jinxi didn't think Wei Yi was very difficult to get along with, but if she really had something to do with Gu Juefei, and if she couldn't even ask for it, she probably really wanted to chop herself up.
After all, others regarded her as a treasure, but she just wanted to sleep, not marry.
What Princess Yongning said should be based on her understanding of the Lu family
Lu Jinxi didn't refute, but obeyed obediently.
Originally there was nothing I wanted to say, but suddenly I remembered something, so I said with consideration: "Speaking of which, there is something I want to ask my aunt..."
"Huh?" Princess Yongning rarely sees her like this, it's a little strange, "You said."
"Is such that… "
"My aunt also knows that the general once brought home a concubine born to an orchid and named it Xue Tingzhi. Now this son is seventeen or eighteen, and he is familiar with poetry and books."
"It's just that when the border was bitter and cold, his womb was insufficient, and his legs and feet were sick..."
Lu Jin cherished that Princess Yongning knew about Xue Tingzhi's situation, so she said it simply, and then changed the story.
"According to the imperial examination system of this dynasty, he is disabled and has the blood of the Hu people, so he is not eligible to participate."
"But he was born like this, and he can't practice martial arts. How can he start a family and start a business in the future? His niece pitys him because he has a heart for learning, so I came to ask you for advice. I don't know—"
"Is there a way to accommodate?"
This last sentence is said with extreme caution.
After she finished speaking, she buried her head, looking a little scared for fear of offending something.
Princess Yongning didn't expect that she was going to ask for advice on this matter, and her brows were instantly wrinkled.
She wanted to say that Xue Tingzhi was just a concubine, and it was really not worth her worrying about. But on second thought, this niece rarely asks for help, but now she has the courage to ask herself, she must have thought about it, and really wants to find a way out for this son-in-law.
On the left and right is a concubine, and there is Xue Kuang's blood on his body...
"Hey, I really don't know what to say about you." Princess Yongning finally couldn't help sighing, and said after a moment of indifference, "The imperial examination system is related to the country, and it is not something this palace can decide. If you I really want to ask, I will say something to the emperor for you when I return to the table in a while, it is hard to say whether it succeeds or not."
"Thank you auntie!"
Lu Jinxi hurriedly bowed and saluted, as if very grateful.
But Princess Yongning waved her hand and said: "There is nothing to thank, you must know that this palace may not be helping you, or it may be harming you. This son's identity is inherently sensitive, but please ask the emperor to turn back and say no. Lose your temper, and take your anger at the General's Mansion."
"My aunt can help, and my niece is very satisfied, but I want to do my best."
In fact, Lu Jinxi was not worried at all.
Although this Qing'an Emperor Xiao Che was not a monarch of the ages, he was not foolish, not to mention that he had just negotiated peace with the Xiongnu, so he should not be so disgusted with the blood of the foreign clan. As long as this matter is mentioned in front of the emperor, it should be the majority.
Princess Yongning didn't take this matter to heart, and didn't think so deeply, she only said: "I asked the emperor first, and if there is news, I will have someone come to hand it to you, don't go too early."
"Yes."
Lu Jinxi responded, and after saying a few more words, she watched the eldest princess Yongning get on the shoulder and go to the front hall. Thinking of the older concubine who was kneeling in front of him that day, he couldn't help but let out a low sigh.
"That's all I can help here..."
