I was Idle and Cool

Chapter 31: Xie Taoling

Among the ladies of honor, there are not a few who have daughters.

Most of them admired Gu Juefei, and they could see that he had a promising future. If they could marry their daughter into the Gu family, they would be waiting for their official life to enjoy happiness.

Older, what does it matter?

Not to mention that he is younger than Gu Juefei, there are a few who look better than him!

So Da Ji's remarks were almost like scolding them.

People can't feel comfortable.

However, the status of the Da Ji family was placed there, with the support of the queen mother behind, no one dared to say anything.

Only Tang Shi, who was the host, had to speak up and defend her stepson, who was not close to her: "The matter of the girl from the Jiang family has nothing to do with the matchmaker ordered by her parents, and the eldest son doesn't like her even more. There's nothing wrong with this. As for not getting married for a long time, that's because the eldest son is interested in learning and doesn't want to be distracted by it. Can't this be the best in high school?"

As for the next six years, there is really not much to say.

A man lives in seclusion on the snow-green roof of the Jokhang Temple, who can force him to marry?

Tang's words naturally make sense.

But she also knew about the internal situation: Mrs. Dingguo's evaluation was actually not correct at all.

Gu Juefei looked at the woman's eyes, so high in the sky!

It's not that he didn't fill in a few beautiful maids, I hope he can take it as a concubine, and it's good to be a concubine after marrying a full-fledged wife.

But with the skills of those maids, none of them managed to climb the bed!

But he told them to spread paper and polish ink, be the red sleeves that add fragrance, and even tell them three or two poems and books, and they were fascinated by people, and they all wanted to be talented women!

It wasn't until Gu Juefei went up the mountain that Tang Shi realized that there was no hope for this.

Those maids with outstanding looks were eventually matched with some good people by her and married.

Because of this incident, Tang Shi had a period of time when he doubted how he saw beautiful women.

Now, she actually agrees with every sentence that Mrs. Dingguo said, but because of her identity, she cannot reveal it.

The secret things in these inner houses cannot be revealed to others.

Her eyes swept away, knowing that she couldn't linger on this topic, so she quickly said: "These things are all young people's affairs. The eldest son will come back sooner or later. At the age of twenty-nine, he still has to marry a wife. , I'll have to ask you all to help me look at each other and show mercy."

Mrs. Dingguo snorted coldly.

There is also a girl in her family. She is only fourteen this year. I heard gossip from somewhere last night, and came to ask her about Gu Juefei.

Today, she was so angry when she heard the words of the officials outside.

Now, I heard Tang shi talk about this matter in a fair and honest way, so when I looked back, I saw that everyone's expressions were floating, but they seemed to have some thoughts, and I couldn't help but want to laugh for a while.

That's it.

Even scolding him a few words could not relieve his anger, so he went back today and taught his granddaughter a lesson.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Dingguo stopped talking.

The atmosphere in the room finally became harmonious.

Gu Juefei's topic, so far.

Everyone tacitly began to chat some other gossip, what about a big carp in Songjiang, the court negotiating peace, after a period of time, the envoy of the Huns will come, and the marriage of whose family and whose family is also set. …

Lu Jinxi drank tea and ate some snacks on the plate, listening to gossip full of ears.

When it comes to topics she is curious about, she doesn't pretend to be a transparent person, and occasionally interjects a sentence or two, but she is very agreeable to a few Mrs. Yipin and Mrs. Guo.

When the banquet was held at noon, a few of them sat with her, and they were already close to each other.

Among them, there is Mrs. Tu, the British lady-in-law, who is the mother-in-law of Mrs. Ye.

Because the two families were neighbors, Mr. Tu knew very well about Luo Dingfang and Xue Chi a while ago.

That day, the British father came back and asked how to deal with the matter. When he was resting in the evening, he gave her a good compliment to Lu Jinxi.

Where does Mr. Tu know?

This old guy just loves to respect his own face, and Lu Jinxi has all his face, so he looks at others very highly.

Now that I met him here, Mrs Tu naturally spoke softly to Lu Jinxi.

Several people were seated together.

The colors that come up all have an auspicious name of the dish.

It’s not all about the delicacies of the mountains and the sea. More dishes are made of ordinary ingredients to make a different taste, which is not extravagant and wasteful, and makes everyone feel fresh.

Even Lu Jinxi took two more chopsticks.

When tea was served after dinner, everyone praised Tang to the sky.

All matters are handled by Tang Shi, although she knows that there are a lot of compliments, but her face also has brilliance.

She only said: "You guys like it, I just worry about the poor reception. Now that I have eaten and eaten tea, I have prepared a few small plays in the afternoon, and half an hour later, they will be staged in the Shadow Bamboo House on the other side of the garden. We might as well go over first, take a walk on the road, and enjoy the garden."

The weather in the afternoon has turned a little warmer.

The garden of the Taishi Mansion is naturally exquisite everywhere.

When everyone heard it, they did not refuse, and in twos and threes, they left the banquet room together, passed through several round doors, and went to the garden together.

At this time, it is already a little green.

All kinds of flowers and trees are piled up, and they have been trimmed extremely delicately by the gardeners. The rockery is also stacked higher, and there is even a small lake in the distance, with a long stone road built on it.

The Shadow Bamboo Building is in the middle of the garden, surrounded by many green bamboos, and there are corridors running through the garden on both sides.

The ladies, and even the ordinary women and the ladies of the official family that Lu Jinxi had never seen before, walked back and forth on the promenade, or went down to see the flowers that were blooming or not.

For a while, the beauties were all among the flowers, softly speaking, good-looking and good-sounding.

Lu Jinxi and Mrs. Tu, the British lady-in-law, just walked casually.

Because there was still half an hour before the show, they didn't want to sit in the building, so they went down the corridor and walked down the steps into the garden, enjoying the scenery and talking at the same time.

"Dingfang's child said early in the morning that he was healed and was going to school. My daughter-in-law couldn't stop him, so I still let him go."

Mr. Tu sighed, but with smile lines all over his face, he looked very kind.

When Lu Jinxi heard it, he immediately became happy: "It's a coincidence. Brother Chi has already talked about the second son many times, so he is looking forward to him going to school. If the injury is almost better, ask the book boy to take care of him, and there should be no accident."

"Yeah. Didn't I just call two capable boys and go with him?" Mrs. Tu followed her footsteps, "I know why he is going, so I didn't stop him."

This British lady is reasonable.

Lu Jinxi listened, smiled and nodded, and with a glance out of the corner of her eyes, she saw a few beautiful girls standing under a few plum blossom trees not far ahead, talking together.

"The garden of the Grand Master's Mansion is really big enough."

"That's not true, it's been saved for several generations. In this way, some are left after building residences for other people in the clan."

"Yeah, if you talk about the background, if the capital is full, only Wei can compete. I don't know, who has such a good fortune and can marry back later."

While talking, one of them smirked and looked at the companion standing in the middle.

This is also the most outstanding one of them all.

The gold-woven agarwood jacket is somewhat noble, and it is matched with a wide brocade skirt with honey-colored embroidered butterflies wearing flowers, which adds some bright colors.

The melon-seed face, the almond eyes, and the lips were dabbed with a creamy scent of floral dew, and the eyebrows were dabbed with a Persian luozidai.

There is a plum blossom on the eyebrows, which is the "falling plum makeup" that is popular in Beijing Zhongzheng recently.

When she looked at people, there was a bit of arrogance in her eyes.

Hearing her companion say the word "marry", the smile on her lips deepened, but it was not easy to express it, and she only half-truthed: "Don't make fun of me, you are all young. Girls who haven’t left the cabinet, don’t be ashamed to talk about this!”

"But talk about it, and don't really do anything, what's there to be ashamed of?"

That companion was also interesting, with a round face, wearing light pink, festive and cute, only covered his lips and teased, and said to the crowd, "Look, our beauty, she's getting shy."

"Who doesn't know that Mrs. Hou and Mrs. Taishi are friends in the boudoir?"

"In terms of the words of your parents' matchmaker, you are far ahead of others."

"Besides, there is no one who is more beautiful than you in the entire capital's official family. If Young Master Gu doesn't even look down on you, then his vision is so high that he would really enter the temple and become a monk! "

Saying that, everyone huddled together and laughed.

There were a few red clouds flying on Xie Taoling's cheeks, which were a bit more delicate than the rouge on them. I was happy and my heart was rippling, but my face was a little embarrassed. It's just to arrange me! See if I don't tear your mouth!"

"Oops, she's angry!"

"Run, run, run!"

When the girls saw this, they immediately ducked in all directions.

That little round face ran especially fast, and while she ran, she turned back to tease her: "I'll arrange it, if you want to tear my mouth, you have to catch it!"

As he said that, he laughed even more cheerfully.

It's just that she patronized the back and didn't pay attention to the road ahead, but was caught by a small stone inlaid on the road and stumbled: "Ouch!"

"boom!"

Lu Jinxi only saw a light powder in front of her, and she threw herself on the ground three feet away in front of her, and fell hard.

It was the smug little round face just now, who stumbled and stumbled!

This is so unexpected.

Lu Jinxi and Mrs. Tu, the British duchess, didn't react at once, and they were all stunned.

"Huihui!"

At the back, Xie Taoling was chasing the front with the corner of the skirt. Seeing that she was about to catch the small round face, she didn't expect that she suddenly fell and shouted in shock.

She was about to step forward to help someone, but she didn't expect to see Lu Jinxi on the other side of the road when she looked up.

At that moment, she was stunned.

In her mind, Sun Huihui's sentence just now, "I can't find a more beautiful lady than you among the officials in the capital", was like a mountain collapsed and collapsed.

In the bottom of his eyes, a kind of resistance and hostility appeared uncontrollably.

Xie Taoling stood in place and forgot to help Sun Huihui.

Lu Jinxi was already frowning slightly, seeing that the girl seemed to have fallen hard, and hurriedly called the egret Qingque: "Hurry up and help, this fell..."

It's really bad enough.

Egret Qingque hurriedly stepped forward and helped the person up.

Sun Huihui had fallen dizzy long ago, and she couldn't see who was in front of her, so she casually thanked her, but her eyes were already bursting with tears, and she cried, "Wuwu, fortunately I covered my face first when I fell, or else It's about to be broken, woohoo..."

This is a clever ghost!

Seeing that she was miserable, Lu Jinxiyuan had some sympathy. Hearing this sentence, he almost didn't laugh out loud, and only said: "It can be cured if you fall on your face, but don't fall on your body. Egret Qingque, Show her where she fell."

Said, the corner of his eyes turned, and he saw Xie Taoling.

At that moment, Xie Taoling almost shuddered.

Standing on the other side, Lu Jinxi is like an empty valley orchid, a lonely mountain and moon, but his eyes are clear and translucent, magnanimous and calm, hiding a lot of wisdom, harmonious and accessible.

When I look at people, I just feel full of kindness and tenderness.

The little thoughts of those daughters' homes in the bottom of my heart, I don't know why, all of a sudden disappeared.

Maybe it's because the firefly doesn't dare to compete with the sun and the moon, maybe it's because...

This look, too kind, too soft?

Xie Taoling deceived herself and thought that it should be the latter reason.

The author has something to say: ︿( ̄︶ ̄)︿

Gu Juefei: I'm busy fighting ghosts, and I'll come back in tomorrow's update.

Xue Kuang: Is there something wrong with me earning my life earlier?

Xue Tingzhi: There is nothing to say. Carry water, chop wood, feed horses, and wait for cheap mother.

Xie Taoling: Well, I have no resistance to gentle people, that must be the case.
