I was Idle and Cool

That is Lu Jiuling.

Lu's father who loved her extremely.

When the birthday gift was just outside the door, Wan Baochang, the big housekeeper, said that Lu Jiuling was talking to Grand Master Gu in the study, and that he had to report to her.

In this way, the relationship between Master Lu and Taishi Gu is very close.

At this birthday banquet, Lu Jinxi knew that he would face many tests.

She's not really afraid of anything else. After all, Mrs. Lu doesn't go out much, so what other people know about her is mostly limited to her impressions more than ten years ago, as well as those words passed down by others.

Therefore, a little change in character is inevitable.

But for Lu Jiuling, it might not be the same.

Lu Jinxi smiled bitterly in her heart. She only thought that she had just come to the birthday banquet.

But this old man who loves his daughter has already invited someone, how can she refuse, and how can she have the heart to refuse?

Lu Jinxi sighed slightly, and smiled at the maid in front of him: "Then I'll have you lead the way."

Such polite words made the errand girl a little surprised.

She kept saying that she didn't dare, but her impression of this legendary general's wife suddenly became very good. Along the way, she led Lu Jinxi and her two personal maids to the side hall, and couldn't help but introduce them intimately. Some scenery in the road.

In the mansion where the rockery overlapped and the small pond was quiet, after walking for about half a moment, a row of houses appeared in front, and the door to the side hall was already open.

The maid was sent to the door: "Lord Lu is inside, and the slaves are guarding outside. When you come out, the slaves will lead you back to the banquet hall."

Lu Jinxi nodded and looked into the side hall.

There are two pots of orchids on the high table, two Taishi chairs are placed on both sides of the long table, and down there are two official hat chairs, which are exquisitely carved and show the details of the Gu family.

On the chair on the right, a grizzled old man sat.

He was dressed as a literati with a high rank, with a beautiful beard hanging down to his chest and one hand on his knee, holding it a little tight, as if he was expecting, apprehensive, and nervous.

The voice of the maid just now came through.

When Lu Jinxi looked over, Lu Jiuling, who was sitting in the hall, looked up and saw Lu Jinxi, and immediately stood up: "Girl Jinxi!"

The voice became a little hoarse from the excessive tension, and it sounded a little strange.

It was just the words out of his mouth. After he saw Lu Jinxi clearly, he was a little afraid to recognize it: when did his daughter return to such a radiant appearance?

Lu Jinxi's eyebrows have never been sharp.

It seems that at any time, he seems to be a kind and docile person, and it is the same at this moment. The difference is that in the few meetings in the past, the often dark clouds and sorrows seem to have dissipated.

She looked very much like when she had not left the cabinet.

There are no unsatisfactory burdens after marriage, and there is no heart ashes after all kinds of hardships...

Clean and bright.

At that moment, Lu Jiuling suspected that she had read it wrong. She was surprised and surprised for a while, but she was not sure.

A pair of slightly cloudy eyes, could not help but leaching some wet tears.

"Girl Jinxi?"

This time, it was a tentative tone, full of hope.

Lu Jinxi suddenly felt the kind of care that came to him.

For a while, my heart was a little heavy.

It's just that she couldn't blurt out her secret, and she couldn't bear to tell this cruel fact to this old man who was full of hope and surprise.

Just as she didn't dare to tell Lu's children that their mother was gone.

She once made a promise in front of Xue Kuangling that she would do her best to take care of the Lu family's children in honor of his wife's grace; now facing Lu Jiuling, why is it different?

If the Lu family is also in her body, she would like the other party to respect her elderly parents well.

Likewise, she will honor Lu's parents.

Xu thought about it too much, or maybe it was too deep, or maybe it was because of Lu Jiuling's mood in front of him, and Lu Jinxi's eyes also had a little tide.

"Unfilial Jinxi, please give my father peace."

"Get up, get up."

Lu Jiuling knew that she was sick, so how could she be willing to work like this? Before she could bow down, she quickly helped her up and almost burst into tears.

"After all, I saw you coming in good health again. It's good to be healed, and it's good to be healed."

"I was seriously ill a month ago, and I have to be diagnosed and treated by the ghost doctor Zhang, how can there be a bad reason?"

Before she came in, the Lu family had not let the Lu family come to visit, and only asked Mrs. Lu and his wife to take care of their health. When she recovered, she would ask for the crime of unfilial piety.

Lu Jinxi knew that the Lu family was afraid that the old people would be sad when they saw her.

Now she only helps Lu Jiuling to sit down on the chair again: "My daughter already knows that you need to come to the old lady's birthday banquet today, and she is still thinking of waiting for the banquet to end, please stay with you, Princess Yongning, so that we can meet you. Unexpectedly, you came to see your daughter first."

"Wan Baochang brought the medicine and prescription you gave to the old lady, how can I sit still?"

Lu Jiuling let out a long sigh, and also pulled her to sit down, only looking at her carefully.

For a while I think of how sweet she was when she was a child, and for a while she was shy when she was just married. But soon, these were covered by the lifeless appearance after marrying into the general's mansion.

Lu Jiuling couldn't help trembling.

He put both hands on his lap and couldn't help clenching them into fists, only clenching his teeth, hating to the bottom of his heart: "If you had known, you would marry him and be a widow in such a way. He Ruzao promised you an ordinary good family, and there are no such things..."

Lu's is a good person, but the only half of his life he has lived has been extremely miserable.

Lu Jinxi knew what caused the tragedy: she is a good person, but she is not suitable for living in such an environment, so everything is wrong...

Now listening to Lu Jiuling's words, it is a marriage of the year, still brooding and blaming herself.

Lu Jinxi sighed in his heart, but couldn't bear to see the old man blame himself so much, so he raised his warm smile to comfort him: "Father doesn't have to blame himself, and it's not your fault. Besides, isn't the daughter doing well now?"

"After so many things, my daughter understands a lot and understands a lot."

"People always have their own fortunes, maybe this is mine."

"Brother Chi, Sister Li, and Sister Lang are very obedient now. Father is afraid that he will rarely see them, right? Go back and take them with your daughter, and go home to see you and your mother, okay?"

She came over, squatted in front of the drooping old man with an extremely tame gesture, took his clenched hand, and spoke in such a warm voice, word for word.

There was a soft smile on his face, and there was a calming power in his voice.

Steady.

It also seems to be softer.

But in this softness, there is a firmness, calmness and self-confidence that comes from the heart, without the slightest self-doubt.

This is obviously because the daughter has woken up, grown up, and has become more mature,

But Lu Jiuling looked at it, but there was a special bitterness and heaviness.

All maturity and growth comes at a price.

He only hoped that his daughter would always be that charming girl who didn't need to worry about anything.

Lu Jiuling couldn't speak very well for a while, and didn't know what to say.

Lu Jinxi had no choice but to coax him, guessing about the way Lu's relationship with this old man was originally, so he changed his delicate tone and begged him: "Father, everything has passed, and now my daughter has come out too. , there is also the support of the eldest princess in the mansion, and nothing can happen. I came to the Taishi mansion today, and I was still talking to me on the road, saying what to remarry or not..."

"Remarried?"

Lu Jiuling listened to the front, but it was normal. When she heard these two words, her eyes lit up, and she hurriedly asked, "What did the eldest princess say?"

"…"

At that moment, Lu Jinxi was a little silly: she saw that Lu Jiuling was too self-blaming for this marriage, so she wanted to mention "remarriage" to ease the atmosphere and comfort him.

Who would have thought that he was so excited.

Those eyes are glowing...

Why make her feel a familiar creepy?

It was very much like when Princess Yongning was staring at her and persuaded her to remarry with a smile...

Lu Jinxi almost didn't say a word, but in Lu Jiuling's compelling "what are you dawdling about, hurry up and say it" eyes, she finally forcibly endured the strange feeling and revealed the whole story one by one.

After listening to Lu Jiuling, she immediately patted her palm and laughed: "The eldest princess is also thinking this way... It's great, it's really great..."

Heaven and earth are big, and so are rituals.

It's just not as big as Lu Jiuling's love for her daughter!

Other widows were widowed to death, and he was too lazy to give them a second look.

But how could his daughter, his jewel in the palm of his hand, be a widow for someone she doesn't love? After so many years of suffering, so many years of torment, there is no such thing as a person!

widowed?

Or to the messed up general's mansion?

Be your mother's spring and autumn dream!

Lu Jiuling, who has always been an elegant person, couldn't help but cursed a few times in her heart to relieve her anger!

He helped Lu Jinxi up, his voice regained a bit of anger, and he said decisively: "Remarriage, we must remarry!"

"change…"

Must remarry?

Lu Jinxi was stunned.

Lu Jiuling is the Minister of Rites, one of the most traditional literati, blurted out the word "remarriage", not only without the slightest contempt, but even with a kind of joyful excitement!

This is too…

Incredible.

However, Lu Jiuling didn't notice the only girl's faintly broken eyes. Instead, she started pacing in the side hall, and her mind turned quickly.

Even if he was not a first-class wise man when he was the Minister of Rites, he was definitely not bad.

In the blink of an eye, all kinds of thoughts were sorted out by him.

"Yes, remarriage is the proper way!"

"Jilai is at home, when have you suffered those grievances? It has always been the eyeball of the whole family, but how did the General's Mansion treat you? That is a sea of ​​bitterness!"

"You and Bo Xian were childhood sweethearts, and you didn't like Xue Kuang at all, so you have suffered for nothing..."

"Xue Kuang, that Wang Bagaozi died as well."

"I was thinking about this as early as when he died."

"It's just that the old witch is a strong person. I'm only afraid that she will obstruct the general's face. Second, your marriage was given by the emperor himself and protected by imperial decree. To let the emperor let go and allow you to remarry, it's really hard. It's very difficult."

"It took a few years."

Hearing this, Lu Jinxi was already dumbfounded.

Lu Jiuling showed a bright smile, and was a little high-spirited for a while.

"If it is as you said, Princess Yongning is willing to support this matter, all the difficulties will be solved."

"The eldest princess and the emperor's compatriots are from the empress dowager, and their relationship has been good since childhood. When the emperor ascended the throne, it was also due to her efforts."

"If she persuades me at that time, the emperor will probably agree to seven or eight points. If I will join forces up and down, I will use my strength, and most likely it will be done."

This has already begun to plan the next step.

One is the eldest Princess Yongning, who knows all about the relationship between the Lu family and Xue Kuang. Perhaps she couldn't bear to see the Lu family living like this, so she tried many times to remarry;

One is Lu's biological father, who hates the General's Mansion and Xue Kuang deeply, loves his daughter so much, and can put aside any etiquette.

This development is incredible!

Rao is that Lu Jinxi has seen the wind and waves, and now he can't help but want to wipe the cold sweat. Seeing that Lu Jiuling is so excited, he can't help but persuade him: "That... Father, this is not very urgent, right? Several children in the house are still there. little…"

"You are also their mother when you remarried, what's there to be afraid of?"

Lu Jiuling didn't worry at all, but waved to Lu Jinxi.

"Anyway, Xue Kuang is also dead. Is it possible that they can marry another stepmother?"

"As long as the later arrangements are well arranged, things can always be resolved. What matters now is to see if there is a suitable candidate. In the end, your life-long event matters..."

When it comes to the back, it is already a little sincere, and there is a bit of guilt.

Lu Jinxi didn't know what to say for a while.

How many people have missed the marriage between Lu Shi and Xue Kuang?

They all want to correct this mistake and make up for the mistakes of the year...

Judging from the letters between Lu's and Song Zhiyan, she was ashamed of Xue Kuangjing, and she didn't have any memories at all. Although Lu Jinxi occupies her body and promises to take care of her children and relatives, it does not mean that she will die alone.

It's just that they don't remarry or not, and the eight characters have not been written yet.

It's all shadowless.

Where is the right person so easy to find?

Her eyes were high.

The predecessor can go to Huaihai Road.

After thinking about it like this, Lu Jinxi simply stopped stopping Lu Jiuling.

In the end, they can't do it with enthusiasm. The power to decide is still in her hands, everything is easy to say, and there is no hindrance in accepting it.

So she no longer wanted to persuade Lu Jiuling, she just followed his words: "Father said that, it makes perfect sense."

"Hahaha…"

Lu Jiuling immediately stroked her beard and laughed, and she finally felt a bit of malice in her heart.

"This matter is covered by the father. Don't worry, the eldest princess is here today, and I will go to the front in a while, meet her a few words, and communicate with each other. It is also thanks to her for taking care of you these past few years. Ah, I have to thank her."

Lu Jinxi nodded, thinking about the scene where the two got together, only to feel that his head grew silent.

She bent the corners of her pale pink lips, maintaining the soft and warm smile on her face, supported Lu Jiuling's hand, and walked out with Lu Jiuling.

The maid outside and the egret Qingque were standing a little further away.

Seeing them come out, they all greeted them.

The maid of the Grand Master's Mansion led the way, while Egret Qingque followed behind the father and daughter.

As she walked away, Lu Jiuling instructed her: "It's been a while since you and I talked, and the madam is still entertaining guests in the back garden, so it's not good to ask you to go too late. When the banquet is over, you stay at the gate of the mansion. Wait a minute for me, say a few words before you go too late."

How can you do it with just these few words?

Lu Jiuling has too many things to say to this daughter now.

Lu Jinxi was clear in her heart and nodded in response.

Lu Jiuling has already started to think about the future son-in-law candidate.

At least it has to be of good personal character and looks worthy of his daughter.

It is best to be unmarried, but to be more cautious if you continue the string.

You can't cherish too much when you are old. If there is a young man who is in love with his daughter, the difference is not too far, and naturally it would be better...

There are steps at the foot, and a thought in Lu Jiuling's mind turned, and it was a step.

Not long after, it was already down the long road below.

There is a small lake in front, and elegant corridors are built along the lake. There are two roads around, one leading to the front and one leading to the back.

Lu Jinxi and Lu Jiuling had just entered the corridor when a figure surrounded by a few servants came over.

It was a frowning young man, as if he had encountered something difficult.

He held a manuscript in his hand, and his footsteps were a little hurried.

With sparse eyebrows and a lacquer crown on his hair, he has a little bit of his brother's romantic charm.

As he walked around, the black azure crane cloak draped over the sky azure robe seemed to be puffed up, which made him look more and more handsome.

It is the second son of Gu Taishiyuan's wife Helan, Gu Juefei's second brother, Gu Yijian.

Of course Lu Jiuling saw it from a distance, and subconsciously murmured: "It's also twenty-three, four years later, a bit too much? It's not a lot..."

At that moment, Lu Jinxi, who was holding his arm, almost tripped himself!

Even though she had spoiled a few stalks of tender grass and eaten two bites of fresh meat, she wasn't too tense now.

On the face with a bright smile, there was finally a slight invisible crack...

At this time, Gu Yijian had already come to Lu Jiuling.

Lu Jiuling also returned to normal. Just looking at the handwritten note he was holding, he saw that it was from the Jokhang Temple, and couldn't help but say, "Eldest son is back?"
