I was Idle and Cool

Chapter 171: go to the palace banquet

Mr. Cai, Cai Xiu?

Lu Jinxi was wiping the sweat on Xue Chi's forehead, but when she heard this, she couldn't help but stop, a little surprised.

She naturally remembered the so-called "smart plan".

When Xue Kuang was still young when she was pestering her to tell the stories of Xue Kuang and Xue Kuang in Beijing, she perfunctory combined the plots in "Three Kingdoms" that were borrowed from the battle reports.

Cai Xiu, the military advisor, was undoubtedly led by Zhuge Kongming's character.

During that time, aside from his father, the person Xue Chi admired most was this Mr. Cai, and even Fang Shaoxing had to stand aside.

To be honest, Lu Jinxi was also interested in this man.

During the three and a half years of peace talks, this Mr. Cai had also returned to the capital and met Xue Chi, but she had no chance to see him. Soon after, I heard that Xue Chi said that he had traveled everywhere and left the capital. Soon, she was the one who remarried Gu Juefei.

After the remarriage, Lu Jinxi was no longer the wife of the General's Mansion, let alone Xue Kuang's widow, so the situation in the General's Mansion could be obtained from the few children.

As for what Liu Jin Cai Xiu...

That's why there is no chance to meet, and it is even more inappropriate to meet.

So at this moment, when Xue Chi mentioned Cai Xiu, she was still in a trance, but then she had a very strange feeling.

This Mr. Cai is very strange.

Before Yihe, he stayed at the border gate, and then Yihe returned to the capital. After the relationship between the Xiongnu and Daxia was stable, he left the capital and did not know where to go.

Now, the man is back.

Although there was no contact with Cai Xiu, and he never even met face to face, Lu Jinxi always felt that this person was very unusual, and even the timing of returning to the capital was intriguing.

The last time was when Daxia negotiated peace with the Huns;

This time, the relationship between Daxia and the Xiongnu was in a state of uncertainty, and variables could happen at any time.

"Mother, what's wrong?"

Xue Chi couldn't help but feel a little strange when she saw her fascinated.

Lu Jinxi blinked and smiled, but did not answer, but said, "Even if you are practicing martial arts, you have to be careful, you are not afraid of catching a cold when you come here in the cold weather! When you see that clever Mr. Cai, you all follow him. What did you say?"

"I didn't say anything, I just asked where he went and how was the outside world." Although Xue Chi is smart now, he has no scheming, and happily shared his conversation with Cai Xiu with Lu Jinxi, "Mr. Cai also I asked my mother, and also asked if my husband was treating me well, and what did he teach me. After that, he said that he had something to talk about with Uncle Liu, and I would also come here to see you and my husband, so I said goodbye to them."

Have something to talk about?

A strategist who has been out of breath for many years because he didn't fight, what did he have to talk about with Xue Kuang's former team on the battlefield?

Lu Jinxi frowned slightly, and once again felt something unusual.

It's just that Xue Chi was here now, and she didn't have time to find someone to investigate the matter, so she temporarily suppressed the doubts, took Xue Chi to sit down, and began to test his homework.

Although Gu Juefei has been busy these years, Xue Chi was really taught by him.

Famous teachers may not produce high apprentices, but the chances are very high after all. Gu Juefei is undoubtedly a famous teacher, and Xue Chi is definitely a smart and motivated child, so even if there is not enough time for class, he will read and write by himself when he gets home.

The same is true today.

In the last review, Juefei left a question for Xue Chi to think about, but this time he brought his own answer and gave it to Lu Jinxi to look at.

In terms of the talent and learning strategies of these ancients, she doesn't really know much, but she has different experiences and views on things.

These often give Xue Chi a different way of thinking.

The mother and son sat by the window and chatted for a long time. Lu Jinxi also kept Xue Chi for lunch, and did not send them away until the afternoon. Before leaving, he also asked him to give him, Sister Lang and Sister Li yesterday. Take the gift you bought back to the General's Mansion.

The next few days, as usual, did not change much. If you insist that there is something different from before, maybe Lu Jinxi and Gu Juefei moved back to the main house, and the atmosphere of the Chinese New Year in Beijing is much better.

In addition, the palace banquet was given this year, so the preparation for Yi Ying was indispensable.

The dignitaries in Beijing have their own guesses about the "happy event". The closer to the new year, the more lively the capital will be.

Gu Juefei is also not busy soon.

It seems that everything in the court has been dealt with almost, but Meng Ji is still trying his best to quietly inquire about something related to Xue Tingzhi or the old lady, but there is no result for the time being.

The days before the palace banquet were rare and leisurely.

Gu Juefei took off the court clothes he had been wearing and put on a new dark-patterned robe of bamboo leaves, and suddenly changed back to the elegant and noble son Lu Jinxi looked like when he first met him.

It's just that compared to the coldness at the beginning, he is already mature and gentle, and his aura is imposing.

He would teach Lu Jinxi to play chess and play chess with her; he would also play the piano for her and cook wine with her when it snowed at night; even the day before the palace banquet, he took her to the Jokhang Temple and met his senior brother It was the abbot, the abbot, Master Jueyuan, who also climbed the Xue Cui Ding, where he had lived for nearly six years, and rested for the night in a house where there was no sign of wealth and nobility at all.

It was not until the morning of the palace banquet that he set off to leave.

All the streets in Beijing have long been lit up with lanterns.

At first glance, the roadway is full of lively crowds, not only the people of Daxia, but also many caravans of foreign races stranded here.

The New Year in Daxia is also new to them.

People from different places, in this prosperous capital, released their joy and even enjoyment to the fullest.

Lu Jinxi watched from inside the curtain.

Looking at it, she couldn't help looking back at Gu Juefei, who was leaning on the pillow and closed her eyes. She remembered the sentence when he was drunk in front of her a long time ago, "Give me three years, and I won't cost a single soldier. , swept away the Huns”…

"Gu Juefei, do you know when I started to like you?"

She blinked, and suddenly leaned over, her fingertips lightly tapped between his eyebrows. The cool temperature caused him to frown slightly, so a small dent appeared.

But on Gu Juefei's face, it was too good-looking.

He heard this voice and opened his eyes, only to see her leaning on his side softly, with a sweet smile on her lips, and a pair of squinting eyes with moving waves.

So I couldn't help but laugh.

He stretched out his arms to embrace her, and let her rest on his chest. He rarely said seriously: "Isn't it the first time you saw me?"

Lu Jinxi couldn't help rolling his eyes, and after a moment of silence, he said, "I want to sleep with you at first."

"Oh, so you wanted to sleep with me at first sight?" When he said this, Gu Juefei returned to his serious appearance, as if they were talking about a serious topic, "It's my honor to say that."

"…"

Lu Jinxi looked at him and stopped talking.

Gu Juefei immediately changed his words, only when he didn't say those gags before, he leaned over and kissed her forehead, saying, "I know if you don't tell me when you started liking me."

She raised her eyebrows: "So confident?"

Gu Juefei smiled: "Yes."

When could it be?

Lu Jinxi is a very defensive person, and the paint on his face may not be thinner than his. For her peers in painted skins, she could not take off her disguise, and it was impossible for anyone to walk into her heart in painted skins.

What he really moved her must be that drunkenness.

although…

It was a memory that Gu Juefei never wanted to experience again.

Too embarrassing.

However, when I think about it now and then, I really feel that such a free speech, such a straightforward expression of one's heart, such a confession of oneself, clearly has a kind of incisive and incisive joy.

Gu Juefei sniffed the light fragrance in her hair, and her eyes were as profound as autumn water.

He leaned into her ear and whispered, "Actually, I also want to see how you looked when you were drunk..."

Lu Jinxi felt that her ears were itchy and crisp.

She shrank her neck and glanced at him angrily, but in the end she didn't care about him, she just replied provocatively, "You have the ability to get me drunk", then the car stopped, and she took advantage of the opportunity to lift the curtain and get out of the car.

Gu Juefei didn't mind either, and followed behind.

The Grand Master's Mansion is in sight again.

Today's palace banquet is set in the evening, and all the princes and ministers in Beijing who have been given the banquet and the wives of internal and external orders need to rush to the afternoon.

Although the old lady Gu Chengqian has been begging for a break, she has to go to the palace for a banquet.

After all, he is an old minister and Xiao Che's husband.

So when it was time to leave, two carriages set off from the Taishi Mansion, the old Taishi and Tang's car were in the front, and Gu Juefei and Lu Jinxi's car was behind.

Gu Juefei put on the majestic court clothes again;

Lu Jinxi also ceremoniously put on make-up according to her taste, and put on the uniform that was given to her soon after.

The Grand Master's Mansion was very close to the palace, and it didn't take long to reach the palace gate.

Many ministers have not yet entered, and it is rare to take a little leisurely chat outside. In such a good day when thousands of households are happy, even the former political enemies have restrained the bad expressions on their faces, not to others and not to seek bad luck for themselves.

The whole scene is peaceful.

When the carriage of Gu Chengqian and Gu Juefei arrived, it attracted everyone's attention.

The old lady got out of the car and gathered a large group of old ministers. Everyone went up to congratulate him on his successor, but Gu Juefei was indifferent. After he got off, he didn't go over, and only extended his hand to Lu Jinxi who was still in the car.

He helped her down himself.

The relationship between the father and son of the Taishi Mansion and the fact that Gu Juefeiqiang asked Xiao Che to marry Lu Jinxi for him are the topics that people in Beijing are most interested in after dinner.

Therefore, when they saw Gu Juefei's actions, many people quietly paid attention.

Rao was already prepared in his heart, but when he saw this legendary woman again, many people still gasped in amazement.

She looked even more beautiful than three years ago, with an extremely fair complexion and a delicate beauty. Gu Pan's expression was very moving, but what was condensed between her eyebrows was three points of snow.

Not the peony in Luoyang, but the snow lotus on the peak.

That slender hand put on Gu Juefei's hand, got out of the car, and stood beside him, they were a pair of people made in heaven.
