Lu Jinxi was not busy herself, after all, she was barely the head of the family, but after all, she was nominally going to a Zen temple to burn incense and worship Buddha, so it was inevitable that she had to prepare a lot of things.

The following people began to prepare before dawn.

When she got up and took a shower, she was too busy with all the trivial preparations she had to prepare when she went out.

Before going out, she went to Mrs. Sun's side to greet her.

Not only was she explaining to her some of the changes she had made recently in the manor, but it was also saying goodbye to the elders in the family before going out-although she didn't think that the Sun family liked her very much.

But the words are still beautiful.

"Brother Chi's recent studies have been very reassuring. With the eldest son of Gu from the Grand Master's Mansion, there must be no mistakes; the eldest son is also preparing to go to the academy. Sister Li and Sister Lang Over there, I was going to invite a female gentleman at first, but who thought it would be just right. I heard that Xie Yuan, who was in the Jiangnan Township Examination a few years ago, was coming to Beijing, so I was lucky to invite her. I think that my wife is also an enlightened person, So I made up my own mind and asked him to teach Sister Li and Sister Lang."

Lu Jinxi looked at Sun's expression and spoke in a soft voice.

"However, he is also interested in the eldest son, so he also let the eldest son worship him as a gentleman."

Mrs. Sun has not gone out much since she was old. She used to dislike Mrs Lu, because she felt that this daughter-in-law was cowardly and could not keep the house in check, which caused the house to be a mess.

So over the years, Wei Xian has bullied her, and she has turned a blind eye.

Privately, she was thinking about the general's mansion. If Wei Xian could manage it, she would give it to her.

Who would have thought...

These two daughters-in-law are getting more and more powerful.

After listening to her detailed explanation, Mrs. Sun lifted the eyelids that had been draped all the time, looked at her for a moment, and then said, "You are the one who takes care of the family affairs, so you can make up your own mind. , are you going out today to light incense at the Zen temple?"

"I came this morning and was just about to talk to my wife about this."

Lu Jinxi couldn't see the slightest guilty conscience on her face, and it was impossible to guess whoever saw it. Going to the Zen Temple was just a cover, she was just looking for a good excuse to go out.

"These days, the court has received a lot of grace, and even because the general made a special case for the eldest son. My daughter-in-law only feels that the general is blessing the house with the spirit of heaven, and the reputation of Dianchan Temple is still above the Jokhang Temple, so the daughter-in-law wants to go to the temple. Bye bye. This is coming and going, and I plan to stay for three days, eating fast and reciting Buddha. But I can't take care of the affairs of the house..."

When referring to "the general is in the spirit of the sky", she buried her head very familiarly, and even lowered her eyes slightly, looking a little sad and lost.

When Sun shi saw her, how could she doubt her any more?

Even though she felt in her heart that it would not be good for her to go to a Zen temple by herself, she suppressed this little doubt.

Wearing a simple dress, Sun's harsh gaze slowly moved away from Lu Jinxi's body.

There are three Buddha beads in the hand.

Then he nodded and said, "Since you have already arranged the affairs of the house properly, the people below have their own rules to restrain them. Since you want to go out and incense, don't worry about the affairs of the house. It's shaking. It's not too early, the incense of the Zen temple is booming, you should go earlier."

done.

Lu Jinxi's heart was relieved.

Sun's family didn't keep her, and she didn't have any intention of staying any longer. She got up and paid homage, and did her due diligence: "Thank you mother-in-law for your understanding, and the daughter-in-law will retire first."

Sun's "Hmm" sounded.

Lu Jinxi then retreated from her room.

It's still early.

In the spring, the sunrise time has begun to be early, and it is still a misty morning. The sun shines through the cracks in the clouds in the east, streaming down the ground.

She didn't set off directly, but went back to the East House again.

Sure enough, several children who had learned the news that she was going out two days ago all came over to say goodbye this morning.

Xue Chi's eyes were wide open, full of curiosity; Xue Mingli and Xue Minglang were a little reluctant, leaning into her arms and talking with a bit of dependence.

Only Xue Tingzhi looked at her with those deep eyes.

Although Xue Kuang's children are smart, they are still too young, and because they like Lu Jinxi, they have no chance to detect some strange clues, nor to think about what is wrong with their mother.

But he is different.

The mind is very human, how can you not feel the tricks in it?

You know, after she recovered from a serious illness and escaped death, she only went to the Jokhang Temple once to offer incense. After this time, there was no more.

The Jokhang Temple enshrines the tablet of Xue Kuang.

Can you say that the Bodhisattva of a Zen temple is more spiritual, can it compare to the tablet of a general?

I didn't go to the incense long ago, but now I want to go to a Zen temple. It is inevitable that there is no deception to sell dog meat.

But if she wasn't someone who knew the inside story, who would doubt her?

After all, she was a pitiful person in the eyes of outsiders, and she was immersed in the grief of Xue Kuang's death all the year round. It was more appropriate to use her dead husband as an excuse.

"In the few days I'm not here, you have to be obedient, and don't make trouble at home. If you teach me to come back and know, be careful about your skin!"

He spoke threatening words, but there was a warm smile on his face.

What Lu Jinxi said to the children was obviously not deterrent.

Xue Chi then made a face.

Xue Mingli did not speak.

However, Xue Minglang acted coquettishly: "We will all be obediently waiting for our mother to come back, so we won't be disobedient!"

Lu Jinxi believed what others said, but as for Xue Minglang...

She seemed to be believing and nodded, but she said, "Yeah, our sister Lang is the most obedient. Yesterday, your sister Qingque told me, I don't know who would like to ride a horse when the weather is good, and still want to live and die. Riding on the Gale, but the Gale didn't want it, so you went to Tingzhi's side again. Oh, who's here?"

Xue Minglang's face turned red with a "swipe".

She, who was still shouting just now, didn't even dare to raise her head, she just slipped out of Lu Jinxi's arms, stomped her feet angrily, and looked at Xue Tingzhi.

"Big brother must have told my mother! Hmph, people just like the wind, but the wind doesn't like to pay attention to me..."

"Okay, everyone in the house knows about this, and I dare to blame Tingzhi for being a fool." Lu Jinxi smiled and pulled her over, poked her in the forehead, but looked up at Xue Tingzhi, "Sister Lang I'm joking with you."

During these days, Xue Minglang had been obedient a long time ago.

The sentence just now was indeed a joke, and Xue Tingzhi could hear it.

So he didn't really take it to heart, just lowered his head and said: "Tingzhi knows. It's just that if the fourth young lady wants to ride a horse, she can lead the wind out for a walk. It may not be out of the house for a long time."

Gale.

an old horse.

At the beginning, he followed Xue Kuang to the battlefield, and he was majestic and stomped on snow with four hoofs. Now the man who made his contribution is gone, and the galloping horse is also blind.

Lu Jinxi tasted the meaning of Xue Tingzhi's sentence "It may not have been out of the house for a long time", and then raised his eyebrows and smiled, unable to tell whether it was true or false: "The weather is getting warmer, if the eldest son's body is better, it is also You can take the wind out for a walk. By the way, you can also bring Sister Lang, after all, she is a little monkey and can’t be idle.”

Let him take the wind out for a walk?

Xue Tingzhi almost laughed.

He stared at Lu Jinxi, and the sarcasm of "a lame man matches a blind horse" almost came to his lips, but when he touched her warm and not malicious eyes, he suddenly froze.

half fire, half ice;

Half conceited, half arrogant.

And that sudden hatred...

Guishou Zhang has been diagnosing and treating him these days, but his "leg disease" is not getting better at all.

If it can be cured, it will be better soon.

Now that it is being cured, I just want to keep my legs and feet from getting worse, and I need to take care of my body so that I can become as strong as an ordinary person as much as possible.

The blood shadow knife light that I saw when I was young flashed before my eyes again, and finally all condensed in a pair of cold and cruel eyes, and then there was the splash of blood, and the sudden pain...

I don't know if it's too long, so that the memory has gone wrong.

In retrospect, Xue Tingzhi felt that there was a flash of pity in the eyes of the person who broke his hamstring.

But what kind of mercy is that?

That year he was just a five-year-old child...

His eyes flickered faintly, but Xue Tingzhi still didn't say those words after all, he just clenched his hands hidden in his sleeves, and replied modestly and politely, "Tingzhi knows."

His difference is not obvious.

What's more, since he arrived here from Lu Jinxi, he didn't feel that he was different, so he didn't notice any sudden changes in his mood.

Seeing that things were almost explained, she sent them back.

The green bird and egret had already prepared for the trip, and the carriage was also waiting outside the mansion gate, a total of two. The front is Lu Jinxi's car, and the back is carrying some necessities for daily use.

Egret stayed in the house to handle things, while Qingque went out with her.

As soon as Xue Chi and the others left, she picked up some important things in the study, went out and got on the carriage, all the way to the south gate.

The appointment with Gu Juefei is at the end of the hour.

Lu Jinxi was not the kind of person who was used to making others wait for him, so he set off a little earlier, almost half an hour later, he arrived at the station ten miles outside of Nancheng.

Unexpectedly, Gu Juefei was already waiting there.

Apricot flowers are planted beside the inn, full of branches.

A team of Taishi Mansion guards dressed in ordinary costumes all checked the horses and their belongings outside the inn, and some gathered next to them to talk, their voices were not loud, and they seemed extremely solemn.

Gu Juefei was not with them, just sitting under the apricot tree.

He was wearing a dark-ink brocade robe today, and the corners of the crane cloak he wore were still embroidered with his favorite dark silver bamboo leaf pattern, which added a bit of extravagance to him.

Perhaps it was a little early, and there was a little spring chill on his face.

A few strands of hair were wet with the morning mist.

The carriage of the General's Mansion stopped nearby, Qingque lifted the curtain of the carriage, and Lu Jinxi only leaned out halfway and saw him at once.

So slightly startled.

It was only then that I remembered that Gu Juefei was going to go to court now. From this appearance, it seemed that he had come directly on horseback after the court disbanded, otherwise he would not have been caught in the fog and cold.
