I was Idle and Cool

Chapter 34: congratulations and congratulations

It was a low and low whisper, almost only Lu Jinxi could hear it.

Only she can understand the meaning of it: the same kind can always smell a little bit of each other. However, sometimes do you feel it, and see whether the Taoism is deep or not...

The eyebrows were slightly raised, but Lu Jinxi's eyes did not move from downstairs.

At this time, Gu Juefei had restrained all the fluctuations in his heart, and hid his anger and questioning in the deepest part of his heart, and only bowed down peacefully.

"Unfilial son Juefei, please pay attention to your father."

The wide sleeve robes lifted as his arms were raised.

The hands folded in front of him is a gift that can't pick out the slightest mistake.

Gu Chengqian sat in front of him and accepted the ceremony.

Being so close, he could see his clearly mature outline, if one were to say that he was still a little juvenile back then. Now, this greenness has faded away.

The current Gu Juefei is a man who is arrogant.

He was more restrained and gentle than before.

Gu Chengqian had taught him for more than ten years, and six years before that, he had been his father for twenty-three years and knew almost everything about him.

So he felt this change almost immediately.

But what came to his mind at the same time was the last time we met...

It was also the last time we met in those twenty-three years.

That night, the old man died.

It was pouring rain in the sky, because he received an important matter in the palace to deal with, so he couldn't go back in time to see the old man for the last time.

When he came back, the old man's body was already cold.

At that time, Gu Juefei knelt in front of the old man's bed, didn't give him half a salute, just asked him what he was doing in the palace...

All the ruptures started from that sentence.

Gu Chengqian still can't forget the chill on Gu Juefei's body, the frost on his face, and the anti-anger in his eyes that almost engulfed him...

Perhaps, there is still disappointment?

It's just that all of this is invisible to Gu Juefei in front of him.

It seems that the breakup six years ago never happened.

He is still the Gu Juefei who is full of admiration for his father.

Gu Chengqian vaguely felt that there were some traces of moisture in his eyes, he could only blink, and there was an unspeakable complex meaning in his smile.

Everyone only said that the father-son relationship was strong, but they talked less.

Everyone could see that, after not seeing each other for six years, there should be a lot of things between father and son, so they didn't speak, let alone express any opinions on their simple communication.

Gu Juefei got up after hearing the words.

There was a servant on the side, and he hurriedly put a chair next to Gu Taishi's long case - this was the rule of the Taishi's mansion in the past, and Gu Juefei was in such a position.

Vaguely, it is still the feeling of the year.

Gu Juefei sat down silently, beside Gu Chengqian, and naturally someone added cups and plates.

Princess Yongning glanced at the father and son, and of course saw the undercurrent flowing silently...

It's just that she is an outsider, what can she say?

At the moment, seeing the atmosphere in the Shadow Bamboo Building, it seemed a little strangely awkward, Princess Yongning directly put on her sleeves and laughed: "Today is a double happiness, everyone, don't be stunned. On the stage Yes, if you don't sing opera, are you planning to not want today's reward?"

When the troupe on the stage heard it, they immediately knew that they had hit the jackpot!

Isn't it a big happy event that the legendary eldest son of the Grand Master's Mansion has returned?

Listening to the meaning of what the eldest princess said, I will definitely seal a big red envelope in a while!

All of a sudden, everyone was overjoyed, thanked them for their graces, and then hurriedly resumed the scene that was interrupted just now.

"Dang bang bang bang..."

In the blink of an eye, the gongs and drums sounded again, and the shengxiao started again.

The castanets were beaten a bit more vigorously than before. When the "Jingyang Gang" was released, the performance was very lively and lively!

Gu Chengqian drank a glass of wine, and the wine cup was empty.

There is a jug beside it.

Gu Juefei brought it over, his slender fingers pressed the lid of the pot, and slowly filled it with seventy points before putting the wine pot aside.

At that moment, Gu Chengqian almost burst into tears.

He stared at this glass of wine, and the father-son relationship for 23 years flowed from the bottom of his heart, making him unable to speak...

He didn't know what was being sung on stage.

He just heard the voice in his heart: as long as he repents, as long as he is willing to repent, he has all kinds of mistakes, and he is willing to forgive.

Reaching out his hand, he held the wine tremblingly, but he still drank it.

The Princess Yongning next to her sighed slightly in her heart.

At the same time, his scrutiny eyes also fell on Gu Juefei: what has he become in the past six years? Don't worry, you'll find out soon.

Thinking like this, Princess Yongning pondered the situation in the court recently, and returned to the slightly drunk state, lazily.

Upstairs, Lu Jinxi's gaze has gone back and forth between the three people many times.

The more you look, the more interesting it becomes.

The details of one by one, put together, seem to be thousands of times more exciting than the "Jingyanggang" on the stage!

There are already a lot of people below, running over, and taking the opportunity to pray for Mrs. Gu's birthday, they also respect Gu Juefei.

In such a short time, there have been three rounds.

It seems that as soon as Gu Juefei appeared, the center of the entire Shadow Bamboo Building had already shifted faintly: from Mrs. Gu's body, it moved a little towards Gu Juefei...

Although this trend is not very obvious, it becomes very meaningful in Lu Jinxi's eyes.

She saw a lot.

First, the gap between father and son is quite deep;

Second, Mrs. Gu's heart does not seem to be particularly hard. She didn't know about Zaizhang, but she was soft on Gu Juefei's son;

Third, Princess Yongning is unfathomable, she knows, I am afraid that it can no longer be described as "a lot";

Fourth, when it comes to "deceiving people", that is, "managing contacts", Gu Juefei is a monster.

With his fingers still supporting his forehead, Lu Jinxi tilted his head and looked down, the smile on his lips deepened a lot.

At this time, of course, some people came up to toast Tang Shi: "The eldest son is back, congratulations to Mrs. Taishi, and see how happy Mrs. Taishi is."

Tang Shi's complexion was a little unbearable.

Gu Juefei is not her own, and has nothing to do with her from the beginning to the end, not to mention the two sons and one daughter under her knees, who live in the shadow of this "eldest brother" almost all the time!

Even Gu Yijian, the younger brother of Gu Juefei's compatriot, even if he became a Juren at the age of 23, he was about to participate in the examination, and he was equally outstanding.

But what?

Everyone mentions him, it is "you Nai brother style"!

As long as you can't get over Gu Juefei for a day, you will live in his shadow for a day!

But how difficult is it to get past Gu Juefei?

Tang Shi's heart is only full of bitterness.

Seeing this lady who came up to compliment, but couldn't open the pot, she had the urge to throw a glass of wine on her face!

But, in the end still endure.

Tang Shi laughed dryly: "Yeah, it's good that Taishi is happy."

When he was done, he took a drink.

The noble lady asked about the situation again, and Tang Shi only said "about the marriage, I think the grand master will have an idea when he comes back", and sent the person away.

Lu Jinxi, who was next to him, had already listened.

She understands this Tang Shi, seeing that she seems a little drunk on her face, she smiled and said, "You seem to be incapable of drinking, so drink less."

Tang Shi did not expect that Lu Jinxi would take the initiative to speak to him.

Slightly startled for a while.

But in the blink of an eye, she understood what Lu Jinxi meant, and even instantly remembered the famous incident in the capital—

Under the lap of the general's wife, didn't she also raise someone who was not her own?

And was born of a concubine.

This is barely considered "sympathy for each other".

Tang Shi sighed in her heart, and suddenly felt that Lu Jinxi's personality and personality were more likable than her appearance.

She smiled slowly: "Really? Is it me that looks a little over the top?"

"There are some."

Lu Jinxi's voice was soft and her eyes were soft.

"Drinking hurts your health. You'd better drink less. Ask the maid to help you go out and blow the air. You'll be hosting a dinner party later."

"Too."

Tang Shi raised his finger, pressed his forehead, and sighed softly, "You are right, I have to go get a hair dryer. Come on, give me a hand..."

Chunliu Qiuyu's two maids hurried over to help her.

Only then did Tang Shi say to everyone, "I'm getting old now, and I'm almost drunk by you guys. Now I have to go to blow the air and drink two bowls of sober soup. I'm sorry for a while, and I have to forgive you."

Those who were close to each other heard Lu Jinxi's conversation with Tang Shi, none of them expressed any objection, and they all told Tang Shi to drink less.

Tang Shi then instructed the maids to take good care of him, and then went out.

Mrs. Tu, who was beside Lu Jinxi, had seen the whole story clearly, and couldn't help but say, "You have a kind heart..."

"It's not easy."

Lu Jinxi knew that Mrs. Tu saw what happened just now.

When the eldest son came back, if Tang Shi hurriedly withdrew, even if she claimed that she was incapable of drinking, she would be caught in the words of others when she turned back, and she felt that something was wrong with her as a stepmother.

But if someone comes to speak, things are much simpler.

It's not that she wants to rest, it's really that others can't stand it.

Think of the original Lu family.

Judging from Lu Jinxi's current vision, the eldest son of Xue's concubine is definitely not a mediocre person.

She wondered if the Lu family had paid attention to everything about Xue Tingzhi.

If not, that's fine, just assume that Xue Tingzhi doesn't exist.

But if there is, knowing that the child born by Hu Ji is so good, except for the lameness and lameness, he can't find any shortcomings, how will his mood be better than Tang's?

Lu Jin cherished this, and was barely able to push himself.

She looked back at Tu Shi.

Mrs Tu laughed, only patted her palm on the armrest, and said slowly, "Relax, relax..."

Lu Jinxi laughed.

She doesn't need to relax at all, because her heart has never been narrowed: Lu's life is Lu's own. She was not involved and declined to comment. Now that she has put on her shell, she is still herself.

Now it's just a habit of releasing goodwill.

At the moment, Lu Jinxi didn't speak any more, and just watched the play quietly with Mrs. Tu.

Downstairs is staggered, and the fragrance floats upstairs.

Looking at it, I saw the sun slanting westward.

The bamboo shadows outside the Shadow Bamboo Building fell on the open carved windows, and for a while it was as elegant as an ink painting on a scroll of a scholar.

Mr. Tang, who had just gone out to sober up first, just stepped back at this time and arranged for someone to line up for the dinner.

This is the last item of today's birthday banquet.

Lu Jinxi listened to the audience chatting for a long time in the morning, and watched the "good show" for a long time in the afternoon. Seeing that the last dinner party was lined up, he was relieved.

Before I wore it, I was very busy with the company's listing plan; after I wore it, I was working hard while I was sick, and I had to **** up my ears to listen;

She is not used to a day like today when she has nothing to chat with all day long.

I feel like I'm getting hairy all over my body.

Because she had used a lot of refreshments in the afternoon, she didn't use her chopsticks much at the dinner party.

About two quarters after the meal, everyone was about the same.

This time is just right.

It's not dark yet, it's time for everyone to go home.

The bureaucrats downstairs all smelled of alcohol. Perhaps it was because Gu Juefei came back from the old lady's birthday banquet, so they were very happy to drink.

Princess Yongning looked drunk and was supported by someone;

The old lady said goodbye to everyone, followed by Gu Juefei;

As for Lu Jiuling, who had previously said that he wanted to meet after the banquet, there was no shadow at this moment.

Lu Jinxi didn't see anyone when he left, so he sent someone to ask.

Unexpectedly, he replied: "For some reason, Mr. Lu is in high spirits today, and he drank happily. When he was about to leave, he forced the second son to go, saying that he wanted to teach him his homework. The second son also drank a lot. , the two of them went to the study together."

Lu Jinxi was suddenly dripping with cold sweat!

Almost instantly, she remembered Lu Jiuling's murmur before: It's not too much...

Guiding homework?

Don't point to other places.

Moreover, at this age, don't drink anything.

There was a moment of worry and anxiety in my heart, and there was a sense of helplessness.

She raised her hand and pressed her forehead, and politely said to the girl who sent the message: "I also asked you to go to the second son to communicate, and said that I was waiting for Mr. Lu outside the door, and asked him to come out earlier. "

"Yes."

The maid naturally didn't refuse, so she complied immediately and went over there to communicate.

Lu Jinxi glanced at it, and the people in the building were almost gone now, and even Taishi Gu seemed to be sent back by Gu Juefei early because he drank too much.

Because she sent someone to inquire about the news, she ended up at the end.

Tang Shi had just sent off a group of people, and when he looked back and saw her, he smiled: "Mrs. Duo Lao made a rescue today, I want to send you off in person."

"It's just to see that Mrs. is really good at drinking."

Lu Jinxi did not refuse, knowing that this was the goodwill of the host.

A lady of the imperial court, and a lady of a general, went out of the round gate together like this.

At this point, Tang Shi just stopped and watched Lu Jinxi leave.

The sunset in the west is hidden in the yellow clouds.

All around, it was dizzy.

Most of the carriages and horses have already left, and only a few are still waiting at the door.

Lu Jinxi held Bailu's hand, and as soon as he walked out of the gate of Gu's residence, he saw a luxurious carriage with two horses parked in the middle.

She had been in this car when she came this morning.

Princess Yongning's.

The car is here...

What about that person?

Only when this thought came to mind, Lu Jinxi heard laughter from behind: "In the end, you still have a conscience, and you know how to support Ben Gong..."

She suddenly shuddered and looked back.

The guard who came here has gone back early in the morning.

This time, the eldest Princess Yongning was drunk and enchanting, her eyes narrowed, and that noble hand was placed in the palm of a gentle and gentle young man in white. She swayed and walked out from the door of the mansion.

The young man in white, dressed as a scholar.

Wearing a square scarf on his head, but there is no sour smell, his face is like powdered powder, pure like a dot of red, with a romantic attitude.

Hearing Princess Yongning's laughter, he also laughed: "Be careful, step down the steps."

"You can't stumble. Who dares to stumble on this palace?"

Princess Yongning was really drunk, and her voice was a little floating.

She went down step by step, and when she reached the last step, she realized that Lu Jinxi was standing below and saluted herself.

But does it look a little weird?

Princess Yongning couldn't help laughing again: "I won't be carrying you on this journey tonight. Come back and have a seat in this palace."

Let me take a closer look at the candidates.

The rest of the sentence was not spoken.

But Lu Jinxi remembered what he said in the car this morning, and automatically understood, and replied, "Niece-niece, remember."

So Princess Yongning nodded and walked past her.

The attendants gave her a low stool, and the young scholar in white helped her up, but Princess Yongning didn't let go, hooked her fingers, and pulled him in too.

"Da da…"

Then, there was the sound of hoofs, leaving dust on the ground.

Lu Jinxi was in the same place, and almost didn't regain his senses.

"The taste is a bit mixed, and there are also tender grass..."

She couldn't help but mutter.

It was the first time that the egret and the blue bird behind him saw such a scene, and they were a little silly at the moment.

When I heard Lu Jinxi's voice, I couldn't hear it clearly: "What did you say?"

"It's nothing, ask someone to bring the carriage over. Let's wait here for father, and it will be sent out in a while."

Of course, Lu Jinxi didn't explain what he was reading, and only gave random instructions.

There are not many people on the long street.

The cool wind slowly blew as the twilight fell. In the corner, in the mess on the ground, a few stained sheets of paper, blown up by the wind, will not fly.

In the study room in the main courtyard of the Grand Master's Mansion, the lamp has been lit, and it is bright in all directions.

Gu Chengqian was supported and sat behind the desk, and the servants had already prepared a hangover soup and placed it in front of him.

He's old, and he can't stand drinking too much.

Looking up at the moment, Gu Juefei was standing in the swaying shadow of the lamp, and his figure became more and more tall, but he couldn't see his expression very clearly, and only said: "You sit. Everyone else goes out, in the yard. Don't stay alone."

"Yes."

The maids and servants all knew that this long-awaited father and son should have something to say, and they all withdrew silently and closed the door.

The ground dragon was burning in the house, and it was warm.

Gu Juefei felt warm on his body, but there was no warmth in his heart.

His alcoholism was also smoked up, his cheeks were a little red, and his eyes seemed to be dipped in nectar, so he just stared at Gu Taishi.

But did not sit down.

The house was extremely quiet.

On the window paper, there is the shadow of the begonia outside, showing a warm spring flavor.

Gu Juefei looked out, took a few glances, and then slowly retracted his gaze.

On Gu Chengqian's bookcase, the four treasures of the study should be neatly arranged one after another.

There is only one brocade box, half-open, with several folds of unused blank memorials, and a bronze lock in the shape of a star leaf in the sky hangs on it.

He didn't sit down.

Gu Chengqian saw it, but he didn't ask him to sit again, he just pushed the brocade box in front of him, his voice full of exhaustion: "The birthday gift from the general's residence, don't you want to see it?"
