If no one mentions something, no one will do it.

If Lu Jinxi didn't go to the emperor for Xue Tingzhi to raise the matter first, and he worked hard on the lobbying of the military attachés, how could this matter be accomplished?

Of course he wanted to thank the emperor and Gu Juefei, but Lu Jinxi should also thank him.

The words were not very clear, but Lu Jinxi could understand.

She only stared at Ji Heng for a long time, and finally smiled slowly: "Everyone said that Mr. Ji was famous back then, second only to Gu Juefei. If it weren't for the accident of the Dali Temple fire, the candidate for the third flower of the year is still unknown. . Now that I see it, it's a well-deserved reputation."

"Ma'am, this is ridiculous."

When it comes to Gu Juefei, Ji Heng's expression has changed a bit. He thinks that he is indeed the same year as Gu Juefei, and he recognized him when he was in Jiangnan, but to say that he can compare with him is a fool's dream.

"Master Gu is famous and admired by the world. Although Ji is not bad, he is not as good as him."

have to.

Dare to love is another blow to Gu Juefei.

Lu Jinxi suddenly felt a bit of a toothache and gave birth to some wayward thoughts, and didn't want to take this Jie Yuan Jiheng's words at all.

It's just that Ji Heng didn't notice it at all.

He even froze for a moment.

I remembered Gu Juefei, and also the fire that burned down most of the street back then, and the dawn after the fire, the figure that stood at the door of Dali Temple and hadn't moved for a long time.

Ji Heng still remembers it to this day.

He stayed beside his parents' already cold bodies, and he couldn't feel the pain in his arms at all. There were officers and soldiers around him, and no one could go out.

But at that time, someone walked in.

The officers and soldiers guarding near Dali Temple, after this person came, walked away automatically, like a receding tide.

Dali Temple Minister Li Shu was full of cold sweat.

He heard someone speak: "Eldest son, the lower official really doesn't know about the fire. Those people, those people, were all killed by poison..."

However, the visitor did not listen to him.

He just took a sullen face and stepped through the scorched ruins step by step, as if he was about to fall if he couldn't stand firm, but he took one step after another, and stood at the door of the Dali Temple Yamen, which had long been burned out.

Then he raised his head, looked inside, and also looked at the mess in this half-street.

There were cries and shouts all around.

There were also the shouts of the officers.

There is also the sound of the burning fire that has not been extinguished, accompanied by the sound of broken walls collapsing, there is a kind of desolate noise in the cold silence, not like the world, but like hell.

Ji Heng recognized that that person was Gu Juefei.

Later, the fire in Dali Temple was broken down as a reporter accidentally knocked over the candlestick, causing the fire. Afterwards, he hanged himself at home the next day and committed suicide.

Li Shu, the minister of Dali Temple, took the blame and resigned, and never entered the dynasty again.

Everyone thought it was a tragic accident.

But now almost six years have passed, and whenever Ji Heng thinks about this, he thinks of Gu Juefei's forbearance and silent back when he was standing in front of the blackened Dali Temple Yamen.

That was no accident.

Chapter 110 Mr. Bai

"Mr. Ji, Mr. Ji?"

Lu Jinxi shouted several times.

It took a long while for Ji Heng to come back to his senses, and when he met Shang Lu Jinxi's suspicious gaze, he realized that he was being rude: "Just now you mentioned Mr. Gu, which reminded Ji of some things from the old days, So I've been in a trance for a long time, and I hope Madam is not surprised."

His face looked pale.

Of course, Lu Jinxi is not someone who will be grumpy because of these trivial things, but it is inevitable that he is a little worried: mentioning Gu Juefei and reminding him of some old things, shouldn't it be some old grudge with Gu Juefei?

She was a little curious, but after all, she was not familiar with Ji Heng and didn't ask much.

Seeing Ji Heng recovering, she also took advantage of the situation to bring the topic back to today's matter itself: "It just so happens that Mr. Ji is here today, so Pan Quan'er must have already told you about the situation at the General's Mansion. I don’t know if you have any dissatisfaction with the treatment you should receive? If so, you can put it forward now, just to discuss it.”

"I'm very lucky to be able to do my best for Madam. How dare you say anything about the treatment? What's more, the treatment given by Madam is really generous, and Ji has no opinion at all. It's just..."

He paused, and there was a rare hesitation in his expression.

Lu Jinxi's brows couldn't help but lift slightly, but a relieved smile appeared on her face: "If you have any difficulties, it's okay to say it directly."

"It's not a problem, but, although I would like to be the teacher of the two young ladies, the two young ladies may not be willing to ask me to be the teacher. The lady is often in the capital, so she must not know where Ji Mou is in Jiangnan all these years. How to live. Even if Ji has the heart to teach, he is afraid to smear the reputation of the two young ladies, so he does not dare to tell his wife without the truth."

Ji Heng sighed, but he had a wry smile on his face.

This time, Lu Jinxi vaguely guessed a few points.

It's just that she saw Ji Heng's sincerity on his face, so she didn't interrupt him, and continued to listen to him.

"After his parents died in that fire, Ji Mou also missed the imperial examination and wandered all the way back to the south of the Yangtze River. In order to make a living, he stayed in the Qin Lou Chu Pavilion, writing lyrics and music for the dusty women. This stigma has already It's serious, there have been many criticisms from others, I'm afraid that not only did the two young ladies fail to be brought up to be sensible, but they also missed their future."

Ji Heng didn't hide it at all, and told the truth.

"That's why Ji is unwilling to do this, and he really needs his wife to think twice."

Indeed this is the reason.

Lu Jinxi didn't feel anything at all.

At a glance, you can see that Ji Heng is a very upright person, and he has a lot of demeanor and insight in his conversation. What is it that he was forced to live in the Qinlou Chu Pavilion? few.

Compared with these sanctimonious people, Ji Heng is already rare.

It just has a bad reputation.

She immediately wanted to say "it's okay", but when the words were about to come out, she hesitated again: what she thought about herself was one thing, and what the environment of this dynasty was like today was another matter.

If she made a decision on her own, how could she know whether those two little girls would hate her?

At this time, his brows were already wrinkled.

Ji Heng guessed that she was thinking about it, so she just sat on the side, but didn't make a sound.

After a while, Lu Jinxi laughed: "This matter is difficult to say, and simple to say. It seems that such a talented person as Mr. Ji, even if he is invited to be a Western seat in the family of princes and nobles, is a queer talent, and he is willing to agree. Come and teach the two little girls how lucky they are. Although I am a mother, it doesn't matter if I say anything about it. Why don't I call the two little girls here, first greet the gentleman, and then ask their wishes. If they are willing to keep their husbands, then ask them to show their respect, and teach them to read wisely from now on.”

"...that's fine."

The way she solved it was beyond Ji Heng's expectations, and felt that it was too unusual. But on second thought, what's wrong?

This is a woman who dares to speak to the emperor.

So Lu Jinxi called the egret next to her and asked her to go to the backyard to bring the two little girls Xue Mingli and Xue Minglang over, while she still sat in the hall and talked to Ji Heng.

During the waiting period, Ji Heng pondered for a moment, and then asked another matter: "Speaking of which, the reform of the imperial examination system originated from the eldest son of your house. Ji was bold and did not know the eldest son of Xue, but now he can worship Mr. ?"

Lu Jinxi's eyelids jumped, and the hand holding the tea paused.

How could she not understand such simple lines?

"Our eldest son is going to be sent to Jingzhong Jixia Academy, but he is still one gentleman away. Mr. Ji was Jie Yuan back then, and his talents were amazing. If you are willing to accept him as a student, it would be better. More Needless to say, you will be able to make a name for yourself in the palace exam in the future. So, if you are interested, I will ask him to come out, come to worship Mr., please take a look?"
