...

A first-class guard, a coachman.

Although Lu Jinxi saw that this man was extraordinary before, he didn't expect that he was actually a third-rank military officer, and only felt in a trance.

Listening to what Princess Yongning said, of course she didn't say anything and nodded in agreement.

Many people around saw the Yongning eldest princess, and those who were close to them all came forward to salute.

"Xiaguan greets the eldest princess."

"Greetings to the eldest princess."

"The eldest princess is here too, I'm relying on you a lot on the road."

...

Today's birthday banquet at the Grand Master's Mansion, it is rare to have the front door open.

Because there was the Taishi's wife, Mrs. Tang, who also held a banquet in the back garden, most of the officials who came and went brought their relatives, which seemed to be harmonious and lively.

Most of the people who came up to greet the eldest Princess Yongning were civil servants, and the women who stayed with them only saluted and didn't dare to say more.

Even though many people saw Lu Jinxi next to him, they were all surprised, but no one stepped forward to say hello.

After all, there is Princess Yongning, if you accidentally say the wrong thing and overstep, it will be a disaster.

Therefore, Lu Jinxi kept a bit of purity, and in this intensive chat, he went to the main entrance with the eldest princess Yongning.

"Ouch, Princess Yongning, you are here too!"

At the table where the gift list was recorded at the entrance, Wan Baochang, the chief butler of the Grand Master's Mansion, was wearing a light brown brocade round neck robe. When he saw someone coming, he immediately bent down to three points, his smile became more sincere, and he came forward to greet him in person.

Princess Yongning smiled and said, "It's rare for the old lady to hold a birthday banquet, and she is also half of my mentor. How dare I not come? But I didn't bring any generous gifts. When you come, the gift list is here."

The maid who followed behind immediately presented an exquisite gift list and stepped aside, allowing the person behind to send the gift in too.

Wan Baochang took it with both hands, respectfully, and only complimented: "Eldest Princess, you are here, even if you are empty-handed, our master will definitely welcome you, I'm afraid we will have a few more days of fun."

After he finished speaking, he handed over the gift list to the person below, and then hurriedly ordered the servants who were waiting beside him.

"Come here quickly and lead the eldest princess in."

"Don't worry, Ben Gong and his niece are here today, so we have to wait." Princess Yongning looked at Lu Jinxi and nodded.

Lu Jinxiyuan didn't fall behind, so she stepped up and handed over the invitation first.

Wan Baochang actually noticed Lu Jinxi just now, but Princess Yongning didn't speak, so it's not good to say hello.

He served as the chief butler of the Gu family for some years, and he was not the housekeeper in charge of internal affairs, but a long-sleeved and good dancer.

Therefore, today, stand at this door and personally greet the guests who are celebrating their birthdays from far and near, just to express the courtesy and grandeur of the Grand Master's Mansion.

After more than ten years of experience, Wan Baochang's eyes are already extremely old.

There are hundreds of people entering and leaving the door today, and he can name each of them. Even the official rank and experience of the other party are clear.

When he heard Eldest Princess Yongning say "niece-in-law", he immediately knew the identity of the person in front of him. He didn't show any surprise on his face, and he also put on a smile, no different from when he welcomed Eldest Princess Yongning.

"Greetings to Mrs. General, you are also a rare guest. Master Ling Zunlu also came early in the morning. He is chatting with my master in the study, and the villain orders someone to help you spread the word."

Lord Lu...

That was Lu's father.

Lu Jinxi had thought about it before she came, so she was not surprised, but thanked the well-rounded butler: "That's really helpful to you, and I came here to meet you. This is today. gift receipt."

Having said that, he also called someone to bring it up.

A gift list is accompanied by two brocade boxes, one is long and narrow, one can see that it contains auspicious things such as jade Ruyi, and the other is a boxy box.

Wan Baochang didn't dare to look at Lu Jinxi very much. Even though she knew that she was amazingly beautiful, she only lowered her eyebrows and took the gift list.

His eyes swept along the brocade box held by the person next to him.

When he saw the special copper lock in front of the brocade box, his eyelids trembled, almost suspecting that he was blind!

The eight long and narrow leaves stretched out in eight directions, in the shape of the leaf crown of the "Arena star" commonly found in drugstores, and at the center was the lock that could be opened with a twist.

Such a brocade box, with a lock of this shape, can only be found in the Huishengtang Medical Center in the east of the outer city!

At the beginning, the old lady and teacher Gu Chengqian always struggled with the problem of the old cold legs.

Even the emperor sent several famous doctors from the Taiyuan Hospital, who were called "medicine to cure the disease", but they were not optimistic. When the weather was cold, it was still painful, and he was always sweating in the house.

How could he, an elderly man, endure such torture?

Wan Baochang once took the servants up and down the house, contacted the Xinglin Holy Hand all over the north and south of the river, and saw the old master one by one, but he was helpless.

In the end, did everything possible to get back to Shengtang.

At the beginning, it was hard-hearted, hoping to impress this eccentric old doctor.

Unexpectedly, people rolled their eyes and drove them away, and when they didn't leave, they almost threw them with a pestle.

Afterwards, they thought, if it doesn't make sense, it's better to break the jar and smash it, give gold and silver, Xu senior officials come here, give whatever they want, even in the winter, a group of people knelt to the door of Huishengtang for him, just begging Zhang Yuanzhi Be soft-hearted and see the old lady once.

In the end, the only response to them was a pot of warm foot-washing water...

Wan Baochang will never forget that smell in this life.

Now that he saw the Tiannan star pattern lock that had been branded in his heart and hated for several years, he couldn't even react.

Seeing that the ignorant little servant was about to put this brocade box together with many brocade boxes, Wan Baochang actually shouted out of his composure: "Silly things! Can that be placed in disorder?"

This sudden sound really shocked many people.

Even Lu Jinxi and Princess Yongning, who had already been led to the gate after handing over the gift list, were taken aback.

At this time, Wan Baochang realized his gaffe, and coughed quickly, but said to the surrounding: "It's okay, it's okay, let's teach the ignorant servants."

Although the crowd was strange, they didn't ask much.

Princess Yongning glanced at the box, showed a clear smile, and brought Lu Jinxi into the door, bypassing the front shadow wall.

"You're really capable. You know, Taishi Gu has a leg problem, and he hasn't invited Guishou Zhang in thirteen years."

Thirteen years?

Lu Jinxi was stunned for a moment. He only felt that although Guishou Zhang had a bad temper, it wasn't that the big family invited him to watch it. He just complained a little more.

Grand Master Gu had a high position in the court, but he was also a good official for the people.

The court and the public, the people inside and outside, when they mention it, there are many words of praise. The ghost hand Zhang Lian is in charge of the general's mansion, and he will not ignore Gu Taishi for thirteen years, right?

She originally thought that the Taishi Mansion had never invited it.

Unexpectedly, it was Guishouzhang who was invited, and they didn't go.

The kindheartedness of the healer...

Lu Jinxi frowned.

"Who knows?"

Princess Yongning shook her head.

"Anyway, everyone said that it must have been the Taishi's mansion that offended him. Although this person is highly skilled in medicine, he is a man who must be vindictive. It seems that he once said that the 'Tanding into Mu' promoted by Taishi Gu in his early years forced his family to death.There are two people, so even if the old lady was in pain, he wouldn't go to the doctor. He also said, 'What are you afraid of when it hurts, it only takes half your life'."
