This is clearly the next person killed again!
Egret thought to himself that some people might not be able to be kind anymore, so he responded, "I'll go call this servant. Madam, do you want to find the account book as well?"
"Look here too, so you don't slap me with sloppy eyes for a while." Lu Jinxi supported a dark sandalwood throw pillow in one hand, raised his eyebrows slightly, and then looked at Xue Tingzhi, "Eldest son came in, your legs are not loose, hurry up and sit down. ."
The egret went out to call for people, but the blue bird still stayed and stood beside her to serve.
After Xue Tingzhi came in, he stood not far or near. He heard the words of the first-born mother just now, and the complicated feeling in his heart came up againββ
It's becoming more and more difficult to see.
The more reasonable she is, the farther away she is from the impression inherent in his mind, and the more and more unfamiliar she becomes.
And being unfamiliar means that the calculation fails and it is difficult to control.
"Thank you mother."
Xue Tingzhi complied, still not sitting opposite Lu Jinxi, but sitting on the chair on her left, the same as last time.
Of course Lu Jinxi saw it, but she didn't care.
In this study, because a lot of things have been added recently, it does not look so empty.
She looked at it carefully, got up and walked around at will.
I swiped over the newly hung embroidery on the wall, and also swept over the brush, ink, paper and inkstone arranged on the table, the sapphire pen mountain carved in the shape of Taihu Lake, the three-legged toad inkstone of shadow celadon...
The ability to do things with peace of mind is not good, but the tricks of shoddy and shoddy are very slippery.
Lu Jinxi took the pen and stood up, glanced at Tianguang, and couldn't help laughing: "Is the eldest son still used to using these things?"
"Back to my mother's words, all the decorations used in the utensils are all newly added by your orders, which are better than those in the past." Xue Tingzhi paused for a while before saying, "Mother's heart and compassion are all very good."
"You are very talkative."
Lu Jinxi walked back, took the carved Taihu Stone Qingyu Pen Mountain, and gently placed it on the top, lining up with the small cover clock.
"It's a pity that this intention has also been abused by others."
Of course, this is not to scold Xue Tingzhi.
Xue Tingzhi is also very clear.
The things that were sent were of uneven quality, and it was obvious that someone took it from them. But these matters involving the money and money in the house were not something that he, a "junior" and a "son" should intervene in.
So at the moment, he didn't answer.
Lu Jinxi stopped talking.
She opened the "Long and Short Sutra" again and looked.
Xue Tingzhi noticed that the position she opened was in the middle of a book, which meant that she had most likely read the previous parts.
This kind of book has a very scheming taste.
As Lu Jinxi said before, this book is not easy to buy outside. Xue Kuang was born in the general's mansion, and he also led troops to fight under the imperial family. It is normal to have this book.
But Lu Jinxi is a daughter's family.
It's not a big deal for Lord Lu to teach her poetry and books. If she were to teach her the "Long and Short Classics", it would be inappropriate. Besides, if she had thoroughly read this book, how could she have been oppressed in the government for so many years?
The misty suspicion in Xue Tingzhi's heart reappeared.
The house was very quiet for a while.
No one spoke, only the voice of Lu Jinxi flipping the pages.
After a while, a maid in peach-colored armor walked in and served tea: "This servant will serve tea to the second grandmother and the eldest son."
Lu Jinxi looked up and saw that it was a maid she had never seen before.
He was born with clear eyebrows, a pair of almond eyes, wet skin, white skin, pink lips, and extremely delicate dress.
She looked at it and asked, "Are you Xiangzhi?"
"If you go back to the second grandmother, the slave will be."
His voice was soft and waxy, his eyelashes trembled slightly, he was timid and a little scared. She looks like a bought candy man.
Lu Jinxi knew that this was a maid bought from Jiangnan Cai not long ago in the house, and she hurriedly transferred her to Xue Tingzhi before she could teach her for a long time.
Looking at the age, I am afraid that it is only fourteen or five.
She told Egret Qingque at the time that if she wanted a nice-looking maid, that was enough.
Towards, Lu Jinxi nodded, didn't ask any more questions, and drank tea.
Xiangzhi turned around again and offered another cup of tea in the lacquer plate to Xue Tingzhi, bowed his head and lowered his eyebrows, his ears were slightly red.
Xue Tingzhi looked at it coldly, took the tea, but didn't say a word.
Xiangzhi was full of anxiety, and her originally rosy complexion turned pale.
After all, her time in the residence was too short, and she didn't know much, so she didn't dare to say more this time, with tears in her eyes, she silently retreated to Xue Tingzhi's side and stood.
A girl like a dodder.
Lu Jinxi put this scene in front of him, and saw Xue Tingzhi's indifferent expression, he guessed that he should not like this new group of maids.
But this is normal.
In which department she was going to work, and the blood on her hands was suddenly replaced by her boss.
Therefore, Lu Jinxi pretended that he didn't see anything, put down the tea cup happily, and continued to read.
After a while, footsteps were heard outside.
Egret lifted the door curtain and walked in with the account book in hand: "Madam, steward Lai has been called and is outside the door."
"Call in to answer."
Lu Jinxi looked at the book without raising her head, her voice was calm, and there was no hesitation.
Lai Chang, who was outside, was very calm all the way, and when he heard the sound, he was inexplicably playing a drum.
He hurriedly bent his body, entered the door, and quickly glanced at the situation in the house.
Seeing Xue Tingzhi sitting peacefully next to Lu Jinxi, his eyelids jumped for some reason; when he saw the celadon tea cup and the sapphire pen mountain on the front, there was a bit of cold sweat on his forehead.
At the moment, I didn't dare to look at it any more, I bowed and saluted: "Little Lai Chang, I have seen the second grandmother, please give my condolences to the second grandmother."
The voice was reluctantly calm, but the end sound was a little trembling, not very stable.
Lu Jinxi finally raised her head halfway, and gave him a sideways glance.
She was dressed decently in a dark blue brocade round-neck robe. Because of his age, his body is a little fatter.
White and fat, like a fat mouse.
Egret handed over the account book.
Lu Jinxi stretched out his hand to take it, pressed it on the table, and put it by his hand, but he didn't turn it over, didn't look at it, just smiled: "Lai steward doesn't need to be more polite. It's longer than the time I've been in the palace."
"Second grandmother is shattered."
When Lai Chang heard this sentence, he felt that although the words were kind, the meaning behind them was thorny. How could he dare to accept them?
"The little one has a humble identity, and is just a servant who waits, expecting to do his best for the house, and dare not be compared with grandma."
"Ohβ¦β¦"
Lu Jinxi showed a stunned expression, but in the next moment, there was a bit of sternness in his laughter.
"It turns out that Steward Lai still knows that he is just a servant? It just so happened that I was confused a few days ago, and I thought you were the master of the house!"
The turning point in the words came so unexpectedly!
Lai Chang was almost scared to death!
How dare he stand?
Immediately, he knelt down with a sturdy "pop": "Second grandma, you are wronged! The little one has been serving in the mansion for many years, and he never dared to overstep!"
"Don't dare?"
Lu Jinxi heard a sneer, and smashed the account book on his hand to him!
"I think you have eaten bear heart and leopard gall, so dare!"
