Lu Jinxi heard this, raised her eyebrows slightly, raised her finger, and put it on her cheek.

anyway...

This is also a very friendly face, as for?

She looked at Xue Tingzhi and couldn't help laughing: "Looking at you thinking about it for a long time, I thought you were thinking something shocking. Unexpectedly, the last meaning of the words still thinks I scared him..."

Xue Tingzhi's heart froze: just now when he was thinking, his reply was really slow.

It's just that, hearing her words now, I really don't know how to proceed.

Fortunately, Lu Jinxi didn't intend to continue chatting with him.

She just raised her eyes and called Xiangzhi, who had been standing stupidly for a long time, and said, "Have someone come in to clean it. The debris on the ground is covered with debris, and there will be a doctor coming later."

Xiangzhi was startled.

In fact, she hadn't come out of the shadow of the second grandmother's smile just now, and she was only agitated, and hurriedly bowed: "Slave obey."

After replying, she with a pale face, backed out. After a while, the maid was called in to clean up, and the fragments of the small celadon cover clock on the ground were cleaned out.

During this process, Lu Jinxi didn't speak, just read a book over there.

It's the same "Anti-Book".

Xue Tingzhi found that her reading speed was sometimes fast and sometimes slow, and there was a kind of freewheeling elegance in the movements of turning the book.

All at ease.

It was as if she had never taught Lai Chang a harsh lesson before, or had taken it lightly or taken it for granted.

In terms of love, she should be the former; but in Xue Tingzhi's heart, there was a faint voice telling him: No, she should be the latter.

It's ridiculous that he has been in this mansion for many years, and he is so smart that he can't even understand this mother-in-law.

Xue Ting's heart is a little complicated.

Sitting next to him, he naturally did not dare to disturb Lu Jinxi, so he did not speak.

Ghost Hand Zhang came from Shen Shichu moment.

Lu Jinxi was sitting in the room, and as soon as he turned to the eighth volume of "Discretionary", there were some familiar complaints from outside.

"I don't watch it early or late, but it happens at this time."

"Do you have any rules? Do you know how old I am?"

"There are so many people in Huishengtang waiting to see the doctor. Your eldest son has bad legs and feet, so can you call me for a run? It's a loss that you are still in the dignified general's residence, so poor that you don't have the money to bring people here?"

Loud and atmospheric, mixed with strong dissatisfaction.

Occasionally, the little servant who led the way apologized in a low voice, as if offering to an ancestor.

When Lu Jinxi heard this, she was stunned.

Then he pressed the page in his hand, got up helplessly, and said to Xue Tingzhi, "I'm afraid Doctor Zhang is here, let's go out and greet him."

Xue Tingzhi glanced at her, lowered his eyes, nodded, then got up and wanted to go out with Lu Jinxi to welcome this ghost hand Zhang who was treating him.

Unexpectedly, the footsteps had already reached the outside at this time.

Ghostshou Zhang, who had just arrived, heard their words, rolled his eyes, lifted the curtain, and strode in.

"Don't welcome me, I don't see you like this. If it wasn't for my wife forcing me, I wouldn't be too lazy to come!"

Lu Jinxi's footsteps stopped.

She still had a good impression of this straightforward and kind old man, even if he didn't speak very nicely, she didn't mind, she just said with a smile, "It's good if you can come. This time I invite you to come, it's not worth considering. Next time if there is anyone in the General's Mansion who needs to see a doctor, I will call someone and send them to Huishengtang, so as not to delay your time, what do you think?"

"Humph."

Ghost Hand Zhang glanced at her and snorted.

"It's pretty much the same. After all, you know better than others. It's no wonder that my old lady was bribed by your two carts of medicine..."

It should be Mr. Tang who is complaining.

Lu Jinxi had heard of it: Guishou Zhang himself was a bit unreasonable, and he was like a bull when he got up. But his wife, Mrs. Tang, was extremely reasonable and could restrain Guishou Zhang.

Now listening to Gui Shou Zhang's words, he is willing to come, probably because of the Tang family?

In just a short time, Lu Jinxi had already made a preliminary calculation in his heart, and waved his hand to invite the ghost to take the seat: "You are kind and kind. My eldest son has a leg disease that has not been cured for a long time, and has invited famous doctors all over the world. Who can rule, there is no one else except you, please sit first."

"What are you sitting on?" Gui Shou Zhang put the medicine box on the table next to the chair and stared, "Isn't there someone to see the doctor? I finish reading it early, and I have to go back to Huisheng Hall to pick it up. Who Want to see a doctor?"

He spoke without hesitation.

The maid serving in the house had already known Lu Jinxi's greatness just now, but now she doesn't give any face at all, and she is silent for a while.

Lu Jinxi's face also stiffened for a moment, but recovered quickly.

She glanced at Xue Tingzhi and said to Ghost Hand: "My eldest son, Tingzhi, is the one who needs to see a doctor. This is the one."

Ghostshou Zhang was still wearing that gray robe today, and his body smelled of bitter medicine, which looked a bit like the one in Xue Ting's house.

After listening to Lu Jinxi's words, he turned around and saw Xue Tingzhi standing silently beside him.

A faint light flashed through his eyes, and Guishou Zhang's old face couldn't see anything unusual, as if he was just looking at a patient.

Xue Tingzhi lowered his eyes and bowed to greet him: "Tingzhi has seen Doctor Zhang."

"It's you..."

The ghost hand had a stunned expression on his face, as if he had remembered something.

He waved his hand: "There are a lot of rules for a big family. I'm a bad old man, and I can't be your greeting. Find a place to sit down, and I'll give you a pulse, check your legs and feet, and then talk about your condition."

In this way, it seems that he doesn't want to stay in the General's Mansion at all.

Lu Jinxi's gaze swept across the bodies of Ghost Shou Zhang and Xue Tingzhi, but he didn't notice anything unusual for the time being, and only said, "Then please give the eldest son your pulse first."

So Xue Tingzhi sat down.

Guishou Zhang opened the medicine box first, took out a pillow, let Xue Tingzhi put his hand on it, and pressed the pulse. Then, he was told to sit on the couch on the screen inside the house.

"Look, smell, ask, and know what's going on with your body. In the end, you still have to look at your legs. Come on, take off the eldest son's shoes and socks and let me see."

At this time, Lu Jinxi had already followed.

She also intends to see what is going on with this son-in-law's leg disease.

Because of the accidental crash that night, she always had doubts about Xue Tingzhi. Now that she is Xue Tingzhi's "mother", she can of course not avoid suspicion now.

So, she stood aside, called Xiangzhi up, and took off her shoes and socks for the eldest son.

Xue Tingzhi sat down, heard her voice, raised his head, glanced at her, there was some incomprehensible light in his eyes, extremely obscure, hiding something.

He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but when he met Lu Jinxi's gaze, he fell silent again.

Lu Jinxi vaguely felt that his reaction seemed a little unusual, but he didn't have time to think deeply.

The weather hasn't gotten warmer yet, and Xue Tingzhi was wearing a pair of white boots.

On the upper of the brocade vamp, there is a cloud pattern of wishful thinking, which is already a little old. Because his left foot was slightly lame, his usual walking posture was somewhat different from that of ordinary people.

Therefore, the sole on the left is more severely worn.

Xiangzhi stepped forward, took off her shoes tremblingly, and took off her socks.

So, at that moment, Lu Jinxi understood Xue Tingzhi's previous look—

This is a left foot that is slightly different from ordinary people.

Pale and handsome.

But because of the perennial lameness, he was too thin and his shape changed. The blue blood vessels meander under the skin that is a little too white, a little vague.

There are many shallow scars on his feet, and it is unknown when they were left.

On the back of the ankle, there is no scar at all, just a clean one. But it is precisely because of this that people can see at a glance...

At this position, there was a dent the size of a soybean.

It seems that there is something below, curled up here, forming this small nest.

Xiangzhi, who was closest to him, had already shown a somewhat frightened expression; Egret and Qingque, who were standing beside Lu Jinxi, were quite surprised, but in the end they became a little unbearable; even Guishou Zhang immediately frowned. .

Such a foot, even if it is not ugly or scary, is also different from ordinary people. Xue Tingzhi, who is disabled like this, looks like an outlier.

He used to be alone.

Today, there are still so many people watching.

The fingers pressed against the edge of the low couch were a little hard, and the knuckles turned white.

Xue Tingzhi pursed his lips, and there was a bit of coldness in his eyebrows, but his voice was low and calm: "This is an old disease of Shen Wei, which is born with it. I heard a former doctor say that at the ankle position, there is a period of hamstrings that have not grown well, and are naturally curled up. Together. So for so many years, they are all nested. Being able to stand up and walk is already a blessing in misfortune..."

Lucky in misfortune...

Lu Jinxi stood aside, speechless.

Xue Tingzhi had already raised his eyes and looked at her, and there seemed to be a bit of concern hidden in his eyes: "Tingzhi is disabled, didn't he scare mother?"

This was clearly a question of concern, but Lu Jinxi could hear some sharp sarcasm.

When she saw Xiangzhi take off his shoes and socks, she had already seen through this scumbag.

Although the scheming is not simple, he has even read a lot of books, has been taught by Xue Kuang, and has seen the battles and sufferings at the border...

But in the final analysis, no matter how mature he is, he is only a young man of sixteen or seventeen.

Looking at the way he usually walks, he knows that he doesn't want to be different from ordinary people. Even though he was lame, he tried his best to stand up and straighten his back.

How could Xue Tingzhi like this be willing to expose his pain and disability to others?

Where can Lu Jinxi not understand?

To him, her standing here is cruel.

The bottom of my heart moved slightly.

Suspicion didn't subside, but there wasn't much anger either.

Lu Jinxi glanced back at him, then withdrew his gaze lightly, and said, "How can you be intimidated by a disability? Now that Dr. Zhang is here, please tell him about your illnesses over the past few years, please. He was well healed. As for the others..."

Several maids stood in the house.

Lu Jinxi glanced at them, and then ordered, "Come out with me, so as not to have too many people hindering Dr. Zhang's diagnosis and treatment. After a while, Dr. Zhang has an order, and you can go in and serve."

After speaking, she turned around and went out.

The maids responded with a "yes" in unison, and they went out without daring to take a breath.

Xue Tingzhi sat on the couch and watched her back slowly disappear without taking his eyes back.

Only the humble expression on his face slowly disappeared.

When Gui Shou Zhang looked at him like this, he remembered the days when he used scar remover plaster to cover the scar on his ankle; he also remembered the various painful conditions he had when the needle was applied yesterday.

For a time, there was only sadness and distress in my heart.

"Eldest son..."

There was a bit of bitterness in his voice.

Xue Tingzhi heard it, but didn't seem to notice it at all. He only raised those dark and deep eyes to look at him, his tone was extremely flat: "Please doctor Zhang, please take a look for Tingzhi."

Inside and outside.

Lu Jinxi sat back on the kang and looked back at the screen.

On the snow-white screen, large brushes splashed ink, depicting vast mountains, pines, clouds and cranes. Xue Tingzhi sat on the low couch at the back, and his thin and tall figure was thrown on it.

Soon, there was the voice of Guishou Zhang asking.

I'm asking about the origin of this disease, how you feel at different seasons, and when you walk, sit, and lie down, and what are your conditions...

Xue Ting answered one by one.

It sounds like everything is normal, nothing more than a dialogue between doctors and patients.

Lu Jinxi didn't find the slightest clue.

She frowned slightly, but finally retracted her gaze.

At this time, a maid's voice suddenly sounded outside: "Qi's second grandma, someone from the eldest princess' mansion said that the matter you asked about in the morning has been answered, and there is another matter to see you, and now it is in Wait outside the yard."

Princess Palace?

Lu Jinxi was taken aback for a moment, knowing that even if the eldest princess' mansion was a maid, the mansion was unimpeded. Presumably the other party was in a hurry to see him, so he came outside the courtyard.

She hurriedly said to the outside of the curtain: "Since people are here, please come in and answer quickly."

"Yes."

There was a response from the outside, and a maid in a long moon-white dress was brought in after a while.

She was holding a blue-leafed book, her steps were smooth, her face was like a peach blossom, and she also had a somewhat comfortable smile.

In two steps, he came to Lu Jinxi and squatted down with a blessing: "My servant, Xiuhan, was ordered to come here. I've seen Madam, please pay my respects to Madam."

"Miss Xiuhan, but the female official by my aunt's side is the first-class capable person. I don't dare to be so polite, please get up quickly."

Lu Jinxi had seen her beside Princess Yongning, and he knew Xiuhan's status, so he didn't dare to neglect her.

Xiuhan was not embarrassed and got up.

It's just that her attitude is still respectful: First, the eldest princess, a niece, is a kind person; second, the eldest princess looks after her and treats her differently from others.

She was a slave, so she naturally followed her master and was very respectful to Lu Jinxi.

"You sent someone to the house in the morning to spread the word, and the servants took care of it."

"Because the eldest princess was dealing with some difficult matters, she was not in a good mood, so the slaves suppressed the news, and Rong Hou reported back."

"Now that the eldest princess has replied, so the servants are still here to report to you."

It was about the impeachment of Liu Jin, the Admiral of the Nine Sects.

Lu Jinxi sent someone to ask because Yin Liuer had to work and he knew little about the court. Unexpectedly, there will be a reply so soon.

She glanced behind the screen, but she didn't care much, and asked casually, "What did the eldest princess say?"

"The eldest princess said that Admiral Liu is the old department of the general, and he also has some friendship with the general's mansion. Since you are willing to help, for the eldest princess, this is just a little effort. Therefore, she has repaired a book and sent it out. , I only explain to the slaves, and I want you not to worry about this matter."

Xiuhan smiled with a normal expression on his face.

Lu Jinxi was slightly startled.

It is not a trivial matter to impeach the nine-door admiral for the court and the opposition. Although this position is from the first rank, it can be regarded as a high-ranking member, but for Princess Yongning, it is still a "hands-off".

The energy of this eldest princess in the court is evident.

There was no smile on her face, only a bit of sincere gratitude: "I was only asking about this matter, but I didn't expect the eldest princess to think that I would solve it. Please also ask Miss Xiuhan to tell my aunt for me, and another day. Jin Xi will come to the door to thank you."

"Slave wrote it down. But today, the eldest princess ordered another thing."

Xiuhan bowed and presented the blue-leafed book in one hand to Lu Jinxi.

"This book was ordered by the eldest princess yesterday. She has read it this morning, and she specially asked the servant to bring it to you."

register?

Lu Jinxi was a little surprised, and reached out his hand to take the blue book, only to see that the blue book was very new, indeed it was newly made.

It's just that there is not a word written on the cover. I don't know what the roster is?

With a bit of hesitation, she glanced at Xiuhan, and then opened the book: a page with a portrait, with the name, place of origin, origin and character.

"This…"

How transparent is Lu Jinxi?

She immediately remembered the shocking words of Princess Yongning yesterday. How could she not understand that this was actually preparing to show her her husband, and it was a roster of "blind dates"!

There was a sudden urge to sweat in the bottom of my heart.

Holding the booklet, Lu Jinxi felt like he was holding a hot potato. He didn't know what to do with it, so he could only look at Xiuhan: "What the eldest princess means..."

"The eldest princess just wants to invite you to take a look, let you pick and see if you like it. By the way, I also want to ask you..."

Of course, Xiuhan knows the origin of this name the most, but when he answered Lu Jinxi, his words became hesitant.

Lu Jinxi was a little surprised: "Ask me what?"

Embroidered cold inexplicably guilty.

Things to start with this morning.

After sending Young Master Gu away, Princess Yongning became very angry when she thought of his shocking words. It wasn't until after lunch that my mood calmed down a little.

Naturally, she wouldn't let Gu Juefei do anything wrong.

So, she reopened the roster and wanted to find out for herself.

Who would have thought that every time she turned a page, Gu Juefei's ridiculing words would ring in her mind.

The original roster was also filled with princes and ministers, or noble sons.

Princess Yongning felt that they were not bad, but when she thought of Gu Juefei, the contrast appeared: she actually felt that there was something wrong with her, either because she was not good-looking, or she was not rich in knowledge and cultivation, or her character was not good enough, and there was something wrong with her family background...

All in all, once Gu Juefei has such an option, the rest of the people are overshadowed!

He deliberately set himself up as a benchmark.

Since then, whenever Princess Yongning sees a person, she always has to compare with Gu Juefei unconsciously, so all kinds of problems arise.

With them, how can you fight Gu Juefei?

After looking around for a long time, Princess Yongning was stunned that she couldn't find anyone who was pleasing to the eye, and almost got angry and scolded Gu Juefei for being malicious, cunning and cunning.

For a while, he was in trouble.

It's just that the eldest Princess Yongning is not a waste who will let Gu Juefei do things. Since she can't choose, she should just send the roster to Lu Jinxi earlier and let her see for herself.

As the so-called "first strike is stronger".

Once Lu Jinxi sees who has the right eye, even if he is very good, it is impossible for him to come into her eyes again. In this way, all troubles will be solved.

Gu Juefei?

Of course, wherever it is cool to stay.

Therefore, Xiuhan came at this moment and sent the roster to Lu Jinxi.

At this moment, Xiuhan's mind was actually a little confused. She glanced at Lu Jinxi cautiously, remembered what Princess Yongning had instructed to ask, and became a little nervous.

"When returning to Madam, the principal servant of the eldest princess asked, "What do you think of this book after you have read it?"

how about it?

She didn't read it carefully, just flipped a few pages at random.

Lu Jinxi was a little surprised and glanced at Xiuhan, only to think that she looked strange, but she didn't ask much.

At the moment, she only turned the roster and turned a few pages.

There are people at all levels, either unmarried or dead wives; looks are all okay, their characters seem to be decent, and their family background is still going to be…

A thousand people.

The matchmaker's booklet, which must be the case.

She even saw Wei Di, the second son of the Wei family, and there was a young man named Fang Shaoxing...

The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and Lu Jinxi slowly closed the booklet.

Xiuhan was looking at her.

In fact, these people on the roster, except for Fang Shaoxing who made her take a second look, the rest are not very interesting.

After all, compared with the target she is now eyeing, they are far away.

Although this was the intention of the eldest Princess Yongning, Lu Jinxi was actually a free-spirited person.

On the one hand, she knew that she was greedy for freshness. No matter how good the meat or the tender grass came to her mouth, she would throw it away after taking two bites, and her feelings were never definitive;

Second, she didn't want to step into the siege so early, and she didn't find anyone who would give her the courage to enter the siege together.

So what...

Lu Jinxi's eyes flashed slightly, facing Xiuhan's gaze, and slowly put on a shy smile, with an embarrassed and embarrassed expression on his face: "Is this roster... Okay, okay."
