"I…"

Luo Dingfang was stunned.

In fact, he was an introvert since he was a child.

My parents taught me a lot, and my husband also said a lot: pay attention to the occasion when you speak, respect and salute when you meet your elders, let alone contradict and disobey, study hard, take the imperial examinations and enter the office in the future, and become a pillar of talent...

The uncles and brothers of the Duke's Mansion all grew up listening to these truths, and they all said these words in their mouths.

Therefore, it is difficult for Luo Dingfang to get close to them.

On the contrary, after the Time School opened, he met Xue Kuang.

This little brat from the General's Mansion is different from others.

On the first day of school, he quarreled with his husband.

Because the husband said that "everything is inferior, only reading is high", but he felt that leading troops to fight, defending the family and the country, throwing one's head, and pouring blood, was also "high", such as his father, Xue Kuang.

Xue Chi was two years younger than him, and he was so articulate that he scolded the husband on the spot and was speechless.

On that day, the children of the Guogong Mansion looked at him with an almost adoring look.

For all of them, it was unimaginable.

Although that afternoon, the General's Mansion knew about it and took Xue Chi away, and I heard that a scolding was inevitable.

But this did not prevent Luo Dingfang from paying attention to and favoring this "heterogeneous".

Xue Chi's temperament is really special among a group of people who are almost converging.

He is young, his homework is not bad, he is very smart and playful, has a bad temper, and is very strong. If anyone upset him, it would be a disaster.

Even in a fight, with his brute strength, not everyone can fight.

As thin and weak as Luo Dingfang, he never thought of going against Xue Chi.

He became friends with Xue Chi, which was an opportunity given by Mr. Xue Zhai: because Xue Chi is too tossed, and the gentlemen can't afford to offend him, he simply moved his position back, out of sight and out of mind. Just like Luo Dingfang.

When you sit close, you naturally have the opportunity to speak.

One is introverted, the other is extroverted; one is in touch, and the other is unintentional rejection.

Soon, they became friends.

Xue Chi was Luo Dingfang's first and only friend.

He didn't want to lose such a friend, and he didn't want Xue Chi to be implicated and punished because of him.

Now that I heard Lu Jinxi's words, I didn't mean to blame at all.

There is a kind of generosity between the words, and it is so reasonable.

He didn't know why, but the moment his eyes were wet, his eyes turned red, and the teardrops swirled inside, almost crying.

When Ye Shi saw it, he was almost laughed at by this kid.

There is no parent who does not care for their children.

Ye's heart is full of flesh, but in fact, he is not willing to press the child's head and ask him to apologize. Just right and wrong, should give an explanation.

But she didn't expect that Lu Jinxi would become so transparent after a period of absence.

The light and fluttering sentence "the adults will not interfere in the affairs between the children" immediately pulled the two families out of the embarrassing situation.

The children's minds have been considered, and the adults have their own face.

It is not too much to call it "Seven Orifices Exquisite Heart".

Now Lu Jinxi has repaired the steps, and the two of them just walked down the steps, but this kid is still crying in face, and it's not too embarrassing!

Ye Shi reluctantly tugged at him: "cry bag, but take away your tears, don't scare you Aunt Lu. When people ask you something, why are you dumb?"

"No, it's fine..."

Luo Dingfang raised his sleeves vigorously and wiped his face indiscriminately, leaving a few red marks on his face, as if he would not cry if he held back.

He raised his head, looked at Lu Jinxi, and even bowed to her.

"Thank you, Aunt Lu for your understanding."

"It's not that Dingfang is unwilling to tell this, it's that Dingfang has an agreement with Brother Chi. The teacher taught that gentlemen and gentlemen should not lose their trust in others, and loyalty is worth a thousand pieces of gold."

"Although Dingfang knows in his heart that Auntie is for our good, Dingfang can't lose his trust in Brother Chi just because he likes you."

"But I will listen to Aunt Lu's words, and I will apologize to Brother Chi when I go to school."

"Aunt Lu, it's all in the way of this matter. Please, please don't punish him."

The voice stumbled and trembled.

But the articulation is actually clear and organized. Between the words, there is already a man's responsibility, and the elegant gentleman's demeanor can also be seen.

Luo Dingfang stared at Lu Jinxi with moist black eyes.

In those timid eyes, there is a bit of gratitude, a bit of guilt, and a bit of determination, and the bravery that suddenly overflowed.

Lu Jinxi listened, sat on the kang, and almost didn't react for a while.

She remembered that the second son of Luo, who was in the government's government, was raised by the British Commonwealth of the Four Books and Five Classics, and wanted him to take the imperial examination and become an official in the future.

Now it seems that this child is really well-bred.

only…

What are you doing, still worried about Xue Chi?

That kid just took the medicine jar and smashed the danger, just like what!

With a sigh, Lu Jinxi put his hands on his knees and laughed, "Second son, put your heart back in your stomach. Brother Chi is a little overlord, how can I dare to touch him? Keeping that kid alive and kicking is better than you!"

"Really, really?"

"real."

It really can't be more true.

Lu Jinxi gave him a very definite answer.

Luo Dingfang still couldn't believe it.

Sitting across from Lu Jinxi, Mrs. Ye knew what he was thinking at first sight, so she couldn't help but reprimanded him: "Can your Aunt Lu lie to you? Just put a heart back in your stomach."

After saying that, he beckoned him to come over and sat on the edge of the kang.

Luo Dingfang's face was still covered with unwiped tears, and he was so thin that he looked like a small cat.

He quietly glanced at Lu Jinxi.

Lu Jinxi winked at him.

So he suddenly became embarrassed, blushed and buried his head.

The atmosphere in the room was extremely good for a while.

The servant girls who were waiting for them all secretly wiped a cold sweat.

The egret, who witnessed the whole process, couldn't believe his eyes.

Before she came, she thought that today was bound to be a tough battle. If she didn't handle it well, she didn't know what it would be like to be abused by the third grandmother, Wei Xian.

But who would have thought, how long would it take?

In a few words, the dark clouds dissipated, the sun came out, and there was nothing left!

For a while, the egret looked at Lu Jinxi, only to feel that she was sitting under the south window, her whole body was gilded and gleaming.

Lu Jinxi didn't notice this scorching gaze, she raised her eyes to look in front of her.

Two little maids came, each carrying a lacquer-filled tea tray and a small cover clock with sweet white glaze on top, and came up to serve tea.

She stretched out her hand and lifted the lid to take a look. It was dark red, probably from Wuyi's black tea.

Drinking tea in the south of the Yangtze River is light, while tea in the capital pays attention to the word "酽".

Lu Jinxi was not used to drinking this kind of tea, but the original body must be familiar.

So she didn't show anything strange and took a sip slowly.

Ye's side also brought tea, just about to drink it, when he didn't pay attention, he saw Lu Jinxi on the opposite side.

This time is amazing.

Not to mention eyelids, her heart is about to jump out!

But seeing that beauty lowered her eyebrows and lowered her eyes, she looked like a bewitching goblin hiding in a temple! Not to mention that the thin lips are lightly sipped, only dipping on the edge of the small cover clock, it is really a sweet and white glaze, sandalwood lips like cherry blossoms!

This is where drinking tea is, it is simply to seduce the soul!

In the end, she is one of the three beauties in Beijing...

Everyone else is getting older and losing their looks, but she seems to be doing the opposite.

If there was anything she was dissatisfied with about this ranking in the past, at this moment, it has all disappeared.

It took a lot of effort for Ye Shi to press his beating heart back into his chest.

At this time, Lu Jinxi also put down the tea cup, took the initiative to search for the topic, and had a few gossip with Ye Shi, and somehow mentioned the snow outside.

This time, Mrs. Ye remembered one thing: "Lichun has just passed, and the weather is still cold. Your family and the Grand Master's Mansion are also inherently friendly, I don't know if you heard? …”

old lady?

Who was the first-class civil servant in the dynasty?

If Lu Jinxi remembered correctly, it should be called "Gu Chengqian", I heard that he has a leg problem, but...

"I've been ill recently, and the news from the outside has not come in for a while. But what's wrong here?"

"That's not true." Mrs Ye shook her head and smiled, "I just heard that the old lady went out last night, like she went to the Jokhang Temple. I don't know if it's true or not. Anyway, I fell ill when I came back..."

Jokhang Temple.

Lu Jinxi was startled, it was a coincidence that she only returned from the Jokhang Temple this afternoon.

Ye Shi took a look at her, and didn't see anything unusual on her face, so she didn't say much, only said: "I originally thought that the eldest princess and Taishi are closer, and that one is at the Jokhang Temple again. You happened to go to the Jokhang Temple today, so you may not know any news. If I can inquire from you, I will be able to take advantage of it, and I can prepare for the birthday banquet in ten days. Alas, it seems that now, is it right? Coincidentally, I have to go back and find out for myself..."

The eldest princess is Lu Jinxi's aunt, titled "Yongning", the elder sister of the current Qing'an Emperor.

Thirteen years ago, the palace changed. It was because the eldest princess and Gu Taishi cooperated with each other and helped Emperor Qing'an to ascend to the throne. Therefore, it was not the general's residence that had a close relationship with Gu Taishi, but the Yongning eldest princess and Gu Taishi.

Lu Jinxi had already checked this out.

She also knew a thing or two about this Grand Master Gu. After assisting the emperor in inheriting the great treasure, he became the number one in the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty.

Except Ding You spent three years because of the death of Mrs. Gu six years ago. In the court, he always said one thing, and others dared not say two.

Emperor Qing An trusts this old guy very much.

It's just that Gu Chengqian is very smart, and he doesn't do anything out of the ordinary in private. He seldom even holds birthday banquets, and it's often just a meal with the family.

Ye Shi actually said that he wanted to prepare for Taishi Gu's birthday banquet.

Dare, this time is going to be a big deal?

and…

that one?

Lu Jinxi only felt that these three words were too obscure, and he couldn't react for a while, and there was a bit of confusion in his eyes.

She murmured, "Which one?"

When Ye Shi heard this, he was completely taken aback, and he couldn't believe it: "You...a famous person like him, he had a bit of a relationship with you, you, don't you forget? "
