"Ma'am, please come in."
The maid who was guarding outside opened a thick curtain.
When Ye Shi heard the sound, he collected his thoughts and turned to look.
Seeing this, I was a little surprised.
It was Lu Jinxi who came.
He is slender and looks a little pale, but his skin is as transparent as snow, as if carved from a piece of natural suet jade, and his delicate facial features are more carefully traced by a skilled craftsman.
The spirit is warm, the clouds are flowing, and the eyes are dazzling.
"Mrs. Shizi, I'm sorry to bother you."
A soft voice, really like the clouds floating in the sky.
Everything seemed to be the same as before, but Ye Shizhen almost didn't recognize her.
They have seen each other in the past, but now they feel that the change is a bit big, and it is like a continuous cloudy and rainy day.
Feeling strange for a while in her heart, Mrs Ye was almost in a trance and was a little surprised.
Fortunately, she has been dealing with affairs in the mansion for a long time, and she has cultivated a bit of courage to not be frightened.
Seeing that Lu Jinxi greeted her, she hurriedly walked up to her and held her hand: "Where, why does Madam see the outside world like this? I always nag you in my heart. It's been a long time since I've seen you, and your face is even better than before. , I'm ashamed to see it. Please sit here."
After saying that, he pulled Lu Jinxi to the side of the heated kang by the window.
Lu Jinxi got up, but did not pretend to be polite.
Although Mrs. Shizi's status is expensive, her first-class official life is not a decoration.
Just now, she and Bailu came all the way from the General's Mansion. Seeing that the maids, such as serving, communicating, and leading the way, were all cleaned up, and the mansion was also in good order, and she was full of admiration for this noble lady.
Egret said that the Ye family was the direct daughter of Ye Qi, governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, and she was shrewd.
The huge British government is in her hands, and there has been no trouble for several years.
Lu Jinxi thought it was the children's incident. Even if she didn't sit on the bench today, she might not get Ye's good looks.
Unexpectedly, Ye Shi's attitude was surprisingly kind.
He was dressed in a long jacket of azurite, with narrow sleeves, rolled with white fox fur, and his black hair was tied into a cloud bun. Although he was in the middle of the figure and had a handsome face, he had the grace of a noble lady.
It's just that this look is a bit complicated.
Say sigh, sigh, there is; say embarrassment, there is embarrassment;
Lu Jinxi remembered the other party's attitude towards him, and remembered that neither of them could ask the reason for the fight, so he gradually had a guess in his heart, but he didn't speak, and followed Ye's inside.
There is a bitter medicine smell in the house.
On the heated kang is a pillow of autumn fragrance golden thread python, and two brocade mattresses are set against each other, and in the middle is a small mahogany table. Like Lu Jinxi's warm pavilion, there are many bottles and cans. There are also three prescriptions that have only been written for a while, exuding the aroma of pine smoke ink.
Lu Jinxi recognized that the ghost-like handwriting was left by the ghost hand Zhang.
"Please sit down."
Ye Shi waved her hand and asked her to sit on the east side of the heated kang.
Lu Jinxi hesitated a little, but sat still, knowing that this was the etiquette of the host to treat guests.
After she was seated, Mrs Ye also sat across from him, and only stretched out her hand and made a move to the side: "Dingfang, why don't you come over and say hello to your Aunt Lu?"
As early as when Lu Jinxi came in, Luo Ding conveniently got down from the kang and stood up.
At this moment, when Ye Shi called, his face paled and he trembled for a while before walking up to Lu Jinxi and bowing to greet him: "Hello, Aunt Lu."
Some stuttered and his voice was low.
"My arm is hurt, what salute?"
Lu Jinxi knew that the two children were playing well, and it was okay to call "Auntie", but when she looked at each other, she couldn't help frowning.
The second son of the Duke's Mansion, looking older and taller than Brother Chi, is too thin. However, with clear eyes and beautiful eyes, he has a bookish aura.
But right now, his left arm was wrapped in a thick layer.
Needless to say, this is Brother Chi's "masterpiece".
That kid made a fuss and told himself not to apologize. It can be seen that he looks like this, and he can't justify him if he doesn't apologize, right
Feeling helpless in his heart, Lu Jinxi thought about it and said, "I didn't expect what happened today. Brother Chi usually makes troubles, but he has never encountered such a big disaster. I was still in the Jokhang Temple at that time, so I could only send someone to quickly invite Doctor Zhang. Come and see. I just returned to the mansion first, Haosheng has prepared some things, and came to check on the second son's situation, and I hope that Mrs. Shizi will forgive me."
Hearing this, the egret very discerningly led the maids holding the trays and offered them all the precious medicinal herbs.
Ye Shi first glanced at Lu Jinxi.
In the past, anyone could ridicule a sentence or two of the imperial court's first-ranked lady, but now her face was light, and she couldn't see the depth of the truth, and it was even more difficult to distinguish the authenticity of her attitude.
She just vaguely felt that the other party didn't seem to come to be held accountable.
"These are the medicinal materials that Curry found out. I know that the Guogong's mansion is actually not short of anything, but this is just my heart..."
Lu Jinxi said while observing Ye Shi's demeanor.
After listening to her words, she glanced at the egret.
The trays are filled with precious medicinal materials, including ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum. There is no shortage of them. They must all be really good things. I want to apologize sincerely.
In fact, the attitude of the General's Mansion can be seen by looking at the ghost hand Zhang.
"It's hard for Madam to be so caring and caring about my family's prescription. It's just..." Halfway through her words, Mrs. Ye couldn't help but smiled bitterly and shook her head, "It's just these things, but I don't dare to accept them."
Several maids from the General's Mansion immediately shuddered with fright.
Even the egret, his heart slammed, only that the British government was going to be embarrassed to the end, and this matter was afraid that it would be tricky.
On the other hand, Lu Jinxi, sitting close, saw Ye Shi's expression very clearly.
Since entering the house, Mrs. Ye's attitude was different from what she had imagined at first, and she asked Luo Dingfang to call her "Auntie". She had some guesses in her heart, so she didn't speak at the moment.
A bit of incomprehensible light and shadow flashed in Ye Shi's eyes, looking at Lu Jinxi: "Since the two schools opened, Brother Chi and Dingfang have played together, and I am very happy. It's just that there was a sudden fight today, something happened, I picked him up, asked him carefully, and asked him to explain. Who would have thought that he was so arrogant and refused to say a word to me."
This is the same as the previous report from Friday's home, and Lu Jinxi knows it.
Ye Shi looked at Luo Dingfang again.
Before Lu Jinxi entered the room, the mother and son had already talked, so Luo Dingfang seemed to know what his mother was going to say at the moment, so he just buried his head and clenched his left hand tightly to his right.
This appearance made Ye Shi's heart feel a little distressed, which made it even more complicated.
Just what to say, what to say.
She sighed: "He's the flesh that fell out of my stomach. I can't know what kind of virtue he is. If he's right, he's been beaten up like this, crying and grabbing the ground, how can he be so quiet?"
This time, Lu Jinxi was a little surprised.
She stared at Ye Shi, and then at Luo Dingfang, only to feel that she didn't understand someone, so she couldn't say these words.
It seems that Brother Chi really has a secret when he starts to do it
In fact, Mrs. Ye's heart softened for a moment, but in the end, she was still heartbroken. She touched Luo Dingfang's head, and Shen Su said, "Mother has already said everything that needs to be said, and now your Aunt Lu is here. Let's say it."
"… "
Luo Dingfang stood on the edge of the carpet, raised his head timidly, glanced at Lu Jinxi, his delicate little face suddenly flushed red.
Because of his nervousness, his fingers tightened, his chest kept rising and falling, and even his breathing became chaotic.
He was apprehensive and frightened.
Everything that happened while playing chess in Xue Zhai flashed through his mind again, making him so ashamed that he wanted to dig a hole and bury himself.
But now, I have to say it in front of his mother and brother Chi...
Really, can it be said
He remembered the agreement between himself and Brother Chi, struggling and embarrassed.
After a long time, he regained his courage, and he said to Lu Jinxi, "Lu, Aunt Lu, it's all my fault. When playing chess with brother Chi, I, I..."
Seeing that he didn't speak for a long time, he hesitated and stumbled when he opened his mouth.
Ye Shi's complexion finally sank slowly. She painted Kodan's nails and digged into the carved gaps of the mahogany square table. She couldn't help but started to teach him: "Hurry up—"
But at this moment...
"Don't say any more."
With a soft voice, Lu Jinxi, who had not spoken for a long time next to him, spoke up.
Ye Shi was shocked, surprised and puzzled, but at the same time he felt relieved: "Madam, you..."
Lu Jinxi looked at Ye Shi with clear eyes, and naturally saw her delicate expression in his eyes, and his heart was like a mirror.
Even if Luo Dingfang didn't speak, she already knew who was right and wrong.
But Brother Chi didn't want to confide a word to her, for fear that she didn't want her to know. Now she heard it from the second son of Luo, and turned back to let Brother Chi know, but she didn't know how to toss.
Ye Shi forced the child to make it clear in front of her, just to give her an explanation.
However, what needs to be explained, where is she
"I don't really care about why they fought."
Lu Jinxi's voice was gentle, and she turned to look at Luo Dingfang, only to see him staring blankly at him, as if he couldn't believe what she said.
So, she smiled slightly and continued: "In the affairs of adults, children will not intervene; in matters of children, adults will not intervene. Today's affairs are the affairs of the second son and Xue Chi. It's related, so I don't ask, Second Young Master doesn't have to tell me."
Ye Shi was stunned, only to feel that these words were really unheard of and seen.
Where is it that Lu Jinxi should have said
Luo Dingfang opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but as soon as he looked up, he saw Lu Jinxi's glint in his eyes, with a gentle and soothing smile, very bright.
Once again, speechless.
Dudu Lu Jinxi looked as usual.
She sat upright, as warm as jade, and only quietly winked at Luo Ding Fang Hui: "If the second son thinks he really should say something, aunt thinks, when you go back to heal your injuries and go to school, you tell Brother Chi yourself. Son, how is it?"
