by"You kid, you don't do your job properly, why do you suddenly ask this? Are you interested in the palace?"
"no no."
Xue Chi hurriedly waved his hand, but he forgot about the things he didn't tell stories about today, and what he thought about was what he thought about on the way.
"I just thought, it seems that there are people from the palace coming from the Taishifu today, and Mr. Gu also went. But when he came back, he didn't say a word and stood there for a long time. Mother, do you think he doesn't? Are you happy? I'm his student, do you want to bring some sweet cakes tomorrow?"
"With sweet cake?"
Lu Jinxi couldn't keep up with his thoughts. She just felt that she was still talking about the will, and she wondered why Gu Juefei was unhappy, but why did the topic turn to sweet cakes?
"What does this have to do with sweet cakes?"
"Because eating sweet cakes will make me happy." Xue Chi had a natural expression on his face. "When I was unhappy before, Sister Li used sweet cakes to coax me. Once I eat it, I am happy."
"..."
Gu Juefei, who is famous all over the world, can be like you?
I really don't have the strength to roll my eyes.
Lu Jinxi didn't want to make any comments, and didn't bother to attack him, so he raised his eyebrows helplessly, and said perfunctorily, "It makes sense, then you can take it if you want."
Don't do her business anyway.
So, Xue Chi was fooled like this.
He was still at the age where what an adult said was basically what he said, and he didn't feel that his mother's attitude was too perfunctory.
After a while, he carefully explained what he learned from Gu Juefei today and what interesting things he encountered.
Halfway through speaking, Xue Mingli and Xue Minglang also came and sat together to listen.
The two little girls listened with envious expressions, and Lu Jinxi noticed it.
In the evening, she left her three children to eat, and chatted with them for a while. In the end, she was bored with them and told another story.
It's just that this time, it's not the story of Mr. Cai, the white paper fan that promised Xue Chi before, but the story of Fang Shaoxing.
Fang Shaoxing has been with Xue Tingzhi for the shortest time and the youngest, but his credit and ability are the most conspicuous.
When telling his story, Lu Jinxi won't make up a lot, and it's just as wonderful.
Although Xue Chi was very dissatisfied with not telling Cai Xiu's story, he lost his temper after being stared at by his mother's beautiful eyes, and sat there honestly and listened to the two sisters.
At this time, Lu Jinxi had someone send them all back.
When Egret was packing the tea cup, he didn't quite understand: "You promised my brother to tell Mr. Cai's story earlier, and the slave also thinks Mr. Cai's story is more exciting, so why don't you tell it today, and you're not too old for it? Favorite Mr. Fang?"
Lu Jinxi couldn't explain it.
She can't tell people, I'm afraid that I'll cause unnecessary trouble by over-editing it?
So I just lowered my eyes and smiled, and said nonsense as if nothing had happened: "It's nothing, I just think that Fang Shaoxing is not useless, right? A bowl of water needs to be level, so we can't keep talking about him, right?"
"Oh……"
Egret thought that things were never deep, and what Lu Jinxi said was what he said, but he didn't notice anything unusual about this sentence.
Qingque on the side remembered that Fang Shaoxing was too lazy to listen to Xue Chi's story and left on the street today.
Thinking about the story Lu Jinxi told today, felt a little inexplicable.
But that's not something she should take care of, so she shut up and didn't speak.
Lu Jinxi, on the other hand, couldn't help thinking of "Mr. Cai" that Xue Chi had mentioned earlier after he finished speaking.
Mr. Cai, Cai Xiu.
She had heard the name of this man earlier and knew that he was Xue Kuang's confidant and the think tank of the three armies. Looking at the archives records for a while, occasionally mention Cai Xiu, but it is very rare, and never go deep into the show.
But how vicious are Lu Jinxi's eyes?
She literally glimpsed Cai Xiu's strategy and intelligence from those few lines.
In several key battles, it was mentioned that he and the general Xue Kuang made a plan together, or that after Xue Kuang got into some difficulties, he would temporarily dispatch the three armies to rescue them.
It can be said that Xue Kuang was able to escape death several times thanks to him.
One is a brave and resourceful general who is already as strong as a god of war.
In the end, God was very kind to him. He put a wise military advisor like Cai Xiu by his side, but he didn't think about it for a while. If there was any omission, someone reminded him thoroughly.
So, how can you not win a hundred battles?
only……
In fact, Lu Jinxi has always had one thing that didn't quite make sense: like Liu Jin and others, they were promoted to rank in the year and after the war. Cai Xiu's credit is so great, why doesn't he have a half-official position?
Even if she hadn't been digging word by word at the memorial, she wouldn't have thought that he was a powerful person.
Having been by Xue Kuang's side for many years, giving advice and enduring the bitter cold at the border, but not seeking fame or profit, what is it for?
It can't always be a cavity of blood, and a whole body of loyalty and righteousness, right?
Cai Xiu is a military advisor.
But in another sense, it is also a strategist.
Lu Jinxi inexplicably remembered her previous judgment on the word "strategist", her eyes flashed, and she thought to herself: What kind of person is this person?
Moreover, he did not return to the capital after the war, but stayed at the border for six years.
Now that the news of the peace talks has spread all over the country, the envoys of the Xiongnu have also entered the customs, and they will enter the palace to meet them soon.
Seeing that things were about to happen, Cai Xiu came back.
How do you think, how do you feel that it is not as simple as simply returning to the capital.
Lu Jinxi pondered, and his eyes fell on the account book again, so he remembered the decree from the White Palace, and his head became a little bigger.
Entering the palace means trouble.
Etiquette, uniforms, and interpersonal relationships you need to know...
It is not easy to deal with each piece.
"Forget it, go to bed today, and get up and work on the rest tomorrow."
After all, it wasn't enough to figure out what was done overnight. Lu Jinxi simply closed the ledger and threw it aside. After taking a shower, he went straight to bed.
The next day, the news that the court was going to hold a peace ceremony with the Xiongnu on February 15 spread all over the streets. In addition, two days ago, Gu Juefei just started the test in the Yuewei Museum with the topic of "discussion and harmony", which has caused a lot of heated discussions, and now it is even more talked about by everyone.
It's just that compared to the simple emotions of anger or joy of the people, many ministers and their families in the court and the opposition are much more complicated.
Because the emperor's decree was not only given to the general's residence.
All ministers who are officials in the capital and are of high rank must observe the ceremony and participate in the palace banquet; among the ministers' mothers and wives, those whose official order is above the third rank will not observe the ceremony at that time, but they will also participate in the palace banquet.
Needless to say, the palace banquet of the ministers must have been in the previous dynasty; but on the side of the wives, it must be in the harem.
Although foreign women have the qualifications to meet at major events, they rarely have the opportunity to enter the palace on weekdays.
Now that the decree has come, and can enter the palace, many people have become more active.
For a time, there were not a few ladies and gentlemen in Beijing who came attentively.
Even Lu Jinxi did a lot of homework for this, and sat down with Mrs. Ye from the British government next door to learn about the situation in the palace.
Needless to say, since the Qing'an Emperor ascended the throne, various parties have been fighting endlessly, and there has been no time for them to settle down.
That's men's business, and Lu Jinxi can't control it now.
But things in the harem have some subtleties that make people think.
