I was Idle and Cool
Chapter 20: Concubine's "consideration"
The cloak was given to Qingque, and the stove was given to Egret. Lu Jinxi walked in lightly, and saw an ordinary woman sitting on the kang.
Getting older, kind of old-fashioned.
The facial features are ordinary, and the clothes are more simple, but those eyes have experienced world events, ups and downs, and they are particularly heart-shattering and thorough.
This must be Sun's.
Lu Jinxi didn't dare to look at it any more, so she thanked her: "Daughter-in-law, please give my wife a favor."
Today, she is wearing a light purple makeup jacket with eyebrows and a white polished skirt. Sun looked at her and saw that the material was only half-new. It should have been made in winter last year, and it was very elegant and plain.
It looks like it used to be.
It can be a little more angry and airy than before, taking away the original silence and melancholy. People are actually more haggard and thinner than when they were healthy before, but there is a brilliance in the corners of the eyes and the brows.
Looking at it, she was even more beautiful than when she first married into the Xue Mansion.
Sun suddenly froze for a moment: Even when she was young, her appearance was not as good as Lu Jinxi, right?
Time has always treated these beautiful people with special preference.
"Don't be too polite, sit down."
With her eyes lowered, Mrs Sun pointed her to the next seat and asked her to sit down, "Your voice sounds a little hoarse, what's wrong?"
Of course, when he went to sit in Xue Tingzhi's study, he was smoked by broken charcoal!
It's just that Lu Jin didn't say anything.
To say it is to expose his own shortcomings, which is regarded as the Lu family's lax governance.
She replied respectfully: "Mrs. Hui, I went out yesterday to deal with Brother Chi's affairs, and I caught a cold on the road. I went back last night and coughed a few times, and I woke up this morning with a hoarseness. But the serious illness has recovered, so it's okay. "
"Illness is like a thread. You are seriously ill this time, so you still have to be careful."
Sun shi followed her words with concern.
But for things like illness, she has a doctor to take care of it, so she didn't waste time on it, and asked the business directly.
"It was only when you were ill that you came to say goodbye. I thought you had something to tell me. I also heard about Brother Chi and the child in the government's government. How is it now?"
Don't like to talk nonsense, go straight to the point, very shrewd.
But the tone is very unfamiliar, revealing a faint indifference and dislike.
Lu Jinxi knew that his wife turned a blind eye to Wei Xian's actions, so she was not surprised at the current situation.
She only had to tell the story of the future in a logical way, and then said the result of the negotiation at the Duke's Mansion.
"Brother Chi and Second Young Master Luo, although they are young, they are sensible. They play well. My daughter-in-law is afraid that adults will interfere too much. Maybe it will be counterproductive, but it will alienate them."
"So, I have made an appointment with the second son of Luo, and they will solve the child's affairs by themselves."
Having said that, Lu Jinxi looked a little nervous, and asked hesitantly, "My daughter-in-law came up with this method by chance. Although Mrs. Shizi agrees, her daughter-in-law is not sure, for fear that something is wrong. I came here to disturb you today. Ask one or two. I don't know, do you think it's okay?"
Getting along with people is a kind of wisdom.
If you only show your own ingenuity and don't give others the opportunity to show it, even if you have all kinds of excellence, you will mostly fall into a situation of isolation and helplessness.
Lu Jinxi suffered a lot because of her sharp edge.
Now she has learned very smartly, but after expressing herself or coming up with a perfect plan, she always passes the words to others, or lowers her attitude.
At this moment, after she finished speaking, she pretended to be uneasy and asked Sun's family, which was her "routine".
After hearing this, Mrs Sun couldn't help but re-examine her, but it was hard to tell whether the anxiety on her face was acting or being serious.
After a long time, she looked back.
"This method was when I dealt with the conflicts between their brothers, and I didn't even think of it."
"One is to save the face of the two children, and the other is to let them grow up. Not only will it not destroy their relationship, but if things are done, it will go further."
"What matters is that even the British government has lost all face."
"Our general's mansion doesn't care about these false names, but the British man has a good face. It's not Brother Chi's fault this time. If the trouble gets bigger, he won't be able to hold on to his face. No matter what we do in the end, he will cut off contact with our mansion."
"You did very well."
Sun's words were unbiased, and every sentence was analyzed to the point.
Lu Jinxi secretly admired her thoughtful thinking, pretending to be relieved, and said happily, "You said that, my daughter-in-law is relieved. But my daughter-in-law really didn't think about it that much at the time..."
"Clap, clap."
It was the sound of the beads being moved one by one and colliding together.
Hearing her words and looking at her appearance, Mrs. Sun only felt that the kind of uneasiness and cowardice seemed to be the same as before, but the wisdom and transparency revealed in her words were completely incomparable to Mr. Lu of the past.
True or false, like a cloud of fog.
She couldn't see through.
Even if she casually said a few words to Lu Jinxi, she couldn't help but go through it in her mind, as if she was afraid of accidentally saying something wrong.
Too strange.
This subconscious reaction of hers only appeared when she faced a few old foxes in the court.
But Lu Jinxi, is he considered such an extremely smart person?
Mrs Sun raised her brows unconsciously, secretly thinking that she might not be able to adapt to the second daughter-in-law's change.
Lu Jinxi also looked at her for a while, and his thoughts flickered.
This lady's relationship with the original body is really not good. There is no point in sitting here for a long time. It is better to speak up earlier and leave earlier.
She decided to make up her mind, and she said warmly, "My daughter-in-law's illness has been cured. During this period of time, many things have been delayed in the house. Brother Chi has already reported this to you, but I don't know the house. Do you have anything else to explain?"
It was waiting here.
Sun shi understood, and there was a trace of sarcasm in his eyes, and he only said: "I have nothing to explain. Your aunt came back from the palace yesterday at the birthday banquet of the Grand Master's mansion. She must have mentioned you, and will bring your three younger siblings. Just go together."
"I love Qingjing. When you are cured, the affairs of the house are still up to you, and you can make up your own mind when it comes to things. You don't have to ask me, and you don't have to say goodbye every day if it's not important."
"There are still a lot of things in the house waiting for you to take care of, you should go back earlier."
This is an expulsion order.
Lu Jinxi heard that, and didn't bother her here, got up and quietly retreated, and walked out of the room without making a sound.
Sitting on the kang, Mrs Sun didn't move, she just looked at the empty door, and finally sighed: "Why do I feel that Wei Xian won't be able to fight her like this?"
"I'm afraid it's going to be a mess." Feng's mother also sighed, but comforted her, "But it's a good thing for the second grandmother to stand up. The two of them, if they stand up, it's a blessing for the general's mansion. I also ask my wife to relax. heart."
"Yeah. To me...everything is the same..."
As long as the General's House is good, everything will be fine.
Sun shi slowly laughed and stopped talking.
Lu Jinxi went out over there, but he was very determined.
The wife does favor Wei Xian.
But Xue Kuang personally asked her for the power to take charge of the central feed back then, in order to leave a "power" to settle down for the cowardly Lu family.
No matter how Sun shi looked down on Lu shi's cowardice, he wouldn't take it for granted, let alone help someone.
Then, the rest of the matter is nothing to Lu Jinxi.
Wei Xian is smart and powerful, but in her opinion...
It's really nothing.
"Go back. I have saved a lot of things in the past half a month. It's time to take care of it."
Having said that, Lu Jinxi put on the cloak, held the stove, and walked back with the green bird and egret.
The sky is a little brighter now.
The outlines of one roof after another, hidden in the dark and dark colors that are not yet clear, are extraordinarily quiet.
When they left the South Courtyard, a group of maids dressed in red and green came face to face, surrounded by a beautiful young woman who was the third grandma Wei Xian who had a conflict with Lu Jinxi yesterday.
Today, she is wearing an agarwood-colored geese holding a reed pattern paired jacket, with a seahorse tide cloud sheepskin gold selvedge skirt, which is a bit extravagant.
As soon as Lu Jinxi came out of the South Courtyard, her complexion changed.
It's just that she didn't dodge, instead she flicked her sleeves, raised her chin, and stepped forward arrogantly: "Second sister-in-law is really good, I woke up so early today, and I know I'm here to greet my wife, congratulations. "
"Take the care of the third siblings, it's almost better."
Lu Jinxi smiled and looked at Wei Xian's eyes, kind and calm.
But what she said made people unable to keep calm.
"My wife's side, I have never been as diligent as the third siblings. This morning was just because I solved the matter of brother Chi. At least I have to let my wife know, so that she doesn't worry. Now the things in the house are piled up, and they are still waiting for me. To deal with it, I don't have time to accompany the three younger siblings."
"you!"
Again!
The sharp-toothed Lu Jinxi is here again!
Wei Xian almost jumped up at her undisguised sarcasm: "What do you mean?!"
"Means nothing."
Lu Jinxi took it slow and felt that talking to her was like teasing a cat, with a strange interest. Seeing her frizz, she just took it easy and poured a bucket of oil on top with a smile.
"I just think that the third siblings are quite idle, so it's better to spend more time with my wife."
This time, Wei Xian can't wait to strangle her!
But in front of so many people, in front of the South Court again, she endured it and sneered: "It's just that you were lucky to run into the matter of Brother Chi. But God, I won't call you again and again. It's all so good luck. The birthday banquet in the Taishi's mansion is just a few days ago, and I have already prepared a great gift. My sister-in-law has been ill for a long time, I don't know what good things I have prepared?"
"This doesn't bother my younger siblings."
Lu Jinxi's mood is really not bad, and she doesn't care about her sarcastic tone, she threw a sentence lightly, took the egret's hand, and walked past her.
Leave without saying a word of hello!
Wei Xian has been fighting with her for so many years, where have you seen her so arrogant and rude?
For a while, he was stunned in place.
It wasn't until Lu Jinxiren disappeared around the corner that she realized that she was surprised and furious: "How dare she ignore me?!"
Lu Jinxi had gone out for a long time, but the words still reached her ears, making her laugh.
Egret and Qingque looked at each other, but they were both worried.
It's just that it was hard to talk along the way, until after returning to the East Courtyard, when Lu Jinxi sat back on the kang in the West Room, Qingque said worriedly: "Madam, the third grandmother came from a prominent family, and she is the direct daughter of Taifu Wei, and she has a solid family background. The shot must be very generous, we…”
"The eldest princess has already said that, in the etiquette of Grandma Gu, 'expensive' is second, and 'right' is the most important."
Lu Jinxi's face was relaxed and he didn't take it seriously.
She only felt that her head was heavy, so she simply pulled out the golden hairpin on her head and threw it on the kang table, making a "dong" sound.
The two maids were startled.
Lu Jinxi smiled: "I have already thought about what to send. You can go outside and see if Pan Quan'er has drawn up the list of herbs."
It was about giving Guishou Zhang a lot of common medicinal herbs.
Pan Quan'er was originally just an ordinary errand in the outer courtyard. Once she was appreciated by Lu Jinxi, she would definitely seize the opportunity to climb up.
The list of medicinal materials, the more express, the better.
Just now Lu Jinxi went to greet his wife, not here. Therefore, the list of medicinal materials may have been placed on the table outside, waiting for Lu Jinxi to deal with the chores accumulated in the past half month.
Egret immediately guessed that the delivery of medicinal materials might have something to do with the birthday banquet of the Grand Master's Mansion, so he hurriedly responded and went outside to look for it.
Not to mention, she was really found by her.
only…
"Ma'am, the medicine list is here. But this..."
In the left hand is the long medicine list wrapped in it, but in the right hand is a thin unsealed letter.
When the egret stood in front of Lu Jinxi again, it was already with a ghostly expression.
Halfway through speaking, I didn't know how to speak, and I got stuck.
The moment he saw the envelope, Lu Jinxi's brows jumped.
She almost thought it was Song Zhiyan's reply.
But after thinking about it, even if there is a reply, it will not be so fast, and then I regained my senses and frowned: "Hesitating, I can't speak again. What is this letter?"
"This..." Egret only felt strange, and couldn't say anything after opening his mouth for a long time, so he simply handed the letter to Lu Jinxi, and said strangely, "The little girl below said that the eldest son came to greet you in the morning, and wanted to thank you for the good charcoal you ordered. But You're not here. He heard from the maids that you woke up early with a cough and your voice was hoarse, so he borrowed a pen and ink, wrote the prescription, and told him to come back and present it to you..."
Xue Tingzhi? !
Lu Jinxi almost spit it out: It wasn't because he asked Lin'an to borrow the pot of broken charcoal, why would she cough for most of the night? This still has the face to leave a prescription for her!
really...
It took a long time for her complexion to change before she resisted the urge to throw the letter away, and took it apart for a while.
It is indeed a prescription.
It's just that the writing is softer. The handwriting I saw on Xue Tingzhi's book yesterday was amazing, with an irresistible edge and a vaguely dignified murderous aura.
Today's prescription seems to be afraid of scaring people who read the prescription, so every stroke seems very restrained and restrained.
Lu Jinxi saw that this was an ordinary throat moisturizing prescription that could be found all over the place, and immediately laughed angrily: "Bring this here too, should I thank him for writing this handwriting thoughtfully enough?"
