    I'm afraid it's a bit tricky.

    Meng Ji snorted softly in his heart, and couldn't help but ponder: Gu Juefei hasn't returned for six years, and as soon as he came back, he was about to run away, what was his plan?

    The General's Mansion has long since fallen.

    This errand of running errands has no technical content at all, so he can't get the slightest interest.

    Everyone said that he was a high-ranking scholar of the mountains who abandoned the wealth and wealth like dung—

    Nonsence!

    When he put on that stance, he responded to the call of the imperial court, and was ready to turn around and let the government come to him to become the "virtuous" recruited by the emperor and the "scholar" he accepted.

    Who would have thought that after waiting for more than half a month, it was Gu Juefei who came.

    A chance encounter in the mountains?

    Appreciate his talent?

    Would you like to write a letter of recommendation to the emperor?

    bah bah bah!

    His grandma, it's all fake!

    Meng Ji is still angry when he thinks about it now!

    He was from a wise man, but was provoked by Gu Juefei's few words and made a bet with him.

    If he wins, Gu Juefei will write him a letter of recommendation; if he loses, he will serve Gu Juefei for ten years. Ten years later, he is leaving, and he is still writing letters of recommendation.

    Does the result even need to be said?

    When it was a complete defeat, almost dug out knees and threw it on the ground!

    Before meeting Gu Juefei, he felt that he was talented and the most intelligent person in the world;

    After meeting Gu Juefei, he saw himself as a toad.

    Before serving Gu Juefei, he thought that Gu Juefei was nothing but a fluke, and it was a fluke to beat him;

    After serving Gu Juefei, he was deeply stabbed by the injustice of God and the gap between people.

    The ten-year period seems to have elapsed for seven years, but Gu Juefei went up the mountain for six years, so Meng Ji actually served Gu Juefei for only one year.

    But in this year, his arrogance has been exhausted.

    At first, he felt that he was a state scholar and should serve for the imperial court.

    Gu Juefei dared to rob the emperor of "people" and "scholars", and spread rumors that he did not want to be an official, which was a big crime to deceive the emperor!

    Later, he comforted himself: today Gu Juefei dares to deceive the king, and tomorrow if he can't think of running to rebel, it is not a rare thing. Therefore, he still has hope to become a national scholar.

    Although……

    A little slimmer.

    Thinking of this, Meng Ji couldn't help raising his hand to touch his nose, feeling a little guilty.

    Others were standing in the hall, but the look of Gu Juefei standing in front of the four brocade boxes before leaving the mansion appeared in his mind - exactly the same as when he pitted him seven years ago!

    But he didn't know if it was because he hadn't seen each other in six years, and he felt that there were other emotions in that expression.

    He had never seen this kind of emotion on Gu Juefei's face before.

    The General's Mansion, the General's wife, the medicine, the return gift...

    Meng Ji put his hands in front of him and racked his brains, but he couldn't figure out what the mystery was. He wanted to open the sealed gift list to take a look, but felt that it was too revealing, so he had to wait.

    After a short while, the steward Lai Chang came in with Lu Jinxi's words. He only said that Lu Jinxi was busy, and he thanked the Taishi's mansion for the return gift, and asked the Taishi master.

    Meng Ji guessed that it was missing, and only said: "If that's the case, I will ask the steward to present the madam on your behalf. The gift list is also here, be sure to ask the madam to read it."

    Lai Chang was cleaned up by Lu Jinxi before, and now his face is still a little pale.

    He asked someone to come and hold all the brocade boxes of different lengths and sizes, and respectfully took the gilding gift list from Meng Ji before saying, "Please rest assured, the small ones will be presented."

    "It's work."

    Meng Ji said goodbye, and several servants sent him out.

    Lai Chang didn't dare to delay at all here, and hurriedly took someone with a gift list and went to the East Courtyard.

    Lu Jinxi was drinking tea at this time, and Egret also came back, so she didn't continue to talk to Qingque about Sister Lang, but just flipped through the "Anti-Classics" borrowed from Xue Tingzhi and waited for the front yard. People come and talk.

    When Lai Chang came outside, he ordered the four brocade boxes to be sent in, and then held the gift list and said: "Second grandmother, according to your instructions, the people from the Grand Master's Mansion have been sent away. Mr. Meng said, a few pieces. The gift must be presented to you, and there is a gift list, please take a look."

    "Bring it in."

    Lu Jinxi sat up slightly and motioned to the little maid outside.

    The little girl stepped forward to get the gift list, and came in and handed it to Lu Jinxi.

    Lu Jinxi took a look and couldn't help but be surprised again.

    The gilded gift list looks like a booklet.

    This is very common.

    But what is unusual is that there is a good fire paint on the seal of this gift list.

    Generally, only secret letters are sealed with lacquer, in order to prevent others from peeping at the letter, or keep it as a reminder to prevent others from reading it and not knowing it.

    But is there anything special about this gift list?

    Lu Jinxi raised her eyebrows slightly, and asked Qingque to get a thin ebony paper cutter, while picking out the flame paint, she said to the outsider Lai Chang, "It's nothing to be in charge of here, you can go down and deal with your mess. ."

    "Yes."

    Lai Chang hurriedly wiped his cold sweat and retired as if he had been granted amnesty.

    The four brocade boxes sent were placed on the table.

    One is very long, more than three feet in length; one is very large, looking square, it almost overwhelms the entire tabletop;

    Even the brocade boxes are so uneven, the maids are a little curious.

    Bailu even went up and looked around: "You sent two carts of medicines to Huishengtang, but you also spent a lot of money on yourself. Could it be that the Grand Master's Mansion knew this and gave you a gift in return? "

    "Who knows?" Lu Jinxi had already picked up the paint and put down the paper cutter, but didn't look up, "You all open the box and see what's inside."

    "The slaves obey."

    Egret is a little excited, after all, this is a gift from the Taishifu.

    She was already curious.

    As soon as Lu Jinxi spoke, she immediately responded crisply, greeted a few maids to go up, and opened the brocade box together. There was a moment of amazement, and there was a voice of surprise.

    Lu Jinxi didn't care what the ceremony was at first, he only felt that the focus was on the gift list. He just opened the book at this moment, and he couldn't help looking up when he heard the voice: "What's wrong?"

    "It's "Yishan Poems"!"

    Egret was the one who was pleasantly surprised, and hurriedly held the brocade box that was more than a foot long in front of him, and placed it in front of Lu Jinxi, as if offering a treasure.

    "Look!"

    There was an old book in the box.

    The pages looked yellowed, but they were well preserved. On the cover were neatly written four words: Yishan Poems.

    When Lu Jinxi saw it, he was slightly startled.

    She had been through it for a while, of course, she had read all the books in the Lu family's house, and made up for a lot of common sense.

    Du Yishan was the most famous poet of the previous dynasty.

    His poems are quite subtle, with constant whimsy, and in the use of allusions, it has reached a realm of no traces. The writing style is excellent, and there is a beautiful and graceful atmosphere inside. It is unforgettable when you read it, and your teeth and cheeks are fragrant.

    But this poet was unrestrained, his words offended the emperor, and he was exiled thousands of miles in his old age. Unfortunately, his poems were also collected and burned by the government, and there are not many remains.

    Lu was born in the 52 library, and has been familiar with poetry and books since childhood.

    Lu Jinxi once saw that she had written comments on her poems and was very sorry that Yishan's poems were not so few in existence.

    at the moment……

    Gu Juefei actually sent someone to send a collection of poems?

    Lu Jinxi suddenly felt subtle.

    She didn't speak, she reached out and took this book of poems and carefully turned it over.

    On the first page, there are a lot of bell seals, all left by previous collectors to show that they have collected this collection of poems.

    A certain layman, a certain mountain person, a certain seal...
