    At this moment, Gu Juefei saw her, put down the refreshing tea cup in his hand, and without looking at Meng Ji who was standing beside him, he got up and walked towards her.

    The smile on his face was obvious.

    "You're awake, haven't you eaten yet? We have Zao Ren and barley porridge this morning, and I asked them to serve it."

    Lu Jinxi nodded, but couldn't help but glance at Meng Ji.

    Gu Juefei didn't answer the letter, it was still in his hand.

    She laughed: "I heard that you went to the court early in the morning, and then dealt with things here. Last night I told me that there was no major incident, why do I feel different?"

    "Don't you know if there is a big incident when you go out and ask?" Gu Juefei didn't care that Meng Ji was watching next to him, he just took her hand and asked her to sit down on the rose chair by the window, then turned to look at him again. Meng Ji said, "You go to the Ministry of Rites to hand over the things. You don't have to come over if there is nothing important in the past two days. Go ahead."

    "……Yes."

    Meng Ji's eyelids twitched. Although he took out the letter, Lu Jinxi didn't dare to hand it to Gu Juefei no matter what.

    And from his experience, even in Gu Juefei's hands, he would only end up in flames.

    So he wisely took the letter back and tried to do it as natural as possible, as if Gu Juefei handed it to him, not he took it out himself.

    Just how keen eyesight is Lu Jinxi?

    It was almost at a glance that Meng Ji's discomfort could be seen.

    She smiled lightly, looked at Gu Juefei and said, "It doesn't matter if you believe it or not?"

    "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter." Before Gu Juefei could speak, Meng Ji laughed quickly and said, "It's all trivial, I'll take care of it. This will not disturb the lady and the son, Meng Ji will retire."

    After speaking, the people backed out.

    Nothing looks wrong from start to finish.

    But Lu Jinxi felt that there was an inexplicable guilty conscience in his expression, as if he was afraid that she would know something.

    Originally, she was not very interested, but Meng Ji's way of doing it aroused her a little bit of interest, but she didn't say anything in front of Gu Juefei, she didn't notice it at all, and only asked about other things: "According to the rules, it seems like this morning. Should I go see the old lady?"

    When the new daughter-in-law enters the door, she has to serve tea from her in-laws.

    It's the same with any big family.

    Gu Juefei obviously didn't forget it, but he still didn't take it seriously, he only said: "The old lady has just been in court for a while. You can go after you have eaten. It's just right, don't be in a hurry."

    Last night, he called the emperor by his name, and today he calls his father "Old Master". Even if he knew earlier that his relationship with the old master was indifferent and contradictory, it sounds a little unpleasant now.

    for him.

    It's just that she didn't know anything about the Gu family, so she didn't say anything.

    After a while, the porridge and rice came up.

    After Lu Jinxi finished eating, he followed Gu Juefei out of the lonely window building and walked along the covered bridge next to the main house.

    As Gu Juefei said, the time was just right.

    They arrived neither too early nor too late. The other two young masters from the Grand Master's Mansion had just arrived for a while, and the old master, Gu Chengqian, had just changed out of his court clothes and sat on the top with his continuation of the string, Mrs. Tang.

    It's just that whether it's him or the Tang family, the expressions on his face are a little reluctant.

    Gu Chengqian's reason is because he has grudges, but it's not that he doesn't like Lu Jinxi, but he just can't stand this hypocritical son who has lived up to all his expectations.

    It's a pity that the boat is done, and if you can't bear it, you have to endure it.

    The Tang family on the side is the most complicated one.

    She had thought that Gu Juefei would marry a very powerful woman in the future and take away all the power in the hands of her successor, but she never thought that this woman would be Lu Jinxi.

    At the time of the Grand Master's birthday banquet, he was still on an equal footing with her.

    This is a former first-class official, and he was very fond of her, and he said a few words to her. But after the edict, she suddenly became her daughter-in-law.

    I couldn't tell if was happy or sad.

    When Tang Shi took the cup of tea she offered, his hands shook.

    Of course Lu Jinxi noticed it, but the scene was indeed a bit embarrassing, so she had no choice but to ignore it.

    Tea was served, and elders' greetings were also given.

    The etiquette of the next day of marriage is almost over here.

    Gu Chengqian didn't say a word from the beginning to the end, but Tang Shi was a little embarrassed by the atmosphere, so he came out and made a few rounds.

    Lu Jinxi and Gu Juefei are the kind of people who are not surprised.

    The two of them didn't feel anything, and they didn't have the slightest sense to ease the atmosphere. They had no choice but to come out to talk with Tang Shi and make a few jokes to get through the situation.

    It's not that Lu Jinxi didn't warm up, but this was her first day at the Taishi Mansion, and she knew early on that Gu Juefei's relationship with the mansion was very general, so she thought it would be better to talk less.

    So just watch and listen.

    Gradually, also learned a little about the Gu family.

    No one asked more about the fact that she and Gu Juefei didn't sleep in the new room last night, or even went out in the middle of the night.

    I don't know if don't know, or don't dare.

    Anyway, this morning passed peacefully.

    Just when he was about to leave, Gu Chengqian, who had not spoken, suddenly stopped Gu Juefei: "Let's go first, you stay, I have something to tell you."

    The others all looked up at Gu Juefei, but they didn't dare to stay any longer, and all withdrew.

    Only Lu Jinxi was still holding his hand.

    Hearing Gu Chengqian calling him, he looked a little impatient, and there was a coldness etched into his bones.

    He didn't seem to want to stay.

    But in the end it stayed.

    The palm that held Lu Jinxi's hand tightened, and then slowly loosened it. He only smiled at her: "Go back first, don't walk around if you don't recognize the way, and ask the maid to take you."

    "Ok."

    Lu Jinxi guessed that this should be another unpleasant conversation, and nodded, neither interrupting nor interfering, and left first.

    The scorching heat of summer is hot at this time.

    The sun came out and lit up.

    Lu Jinxi had just walked out of the main house, and felt a little dazzling, so she only let the maid lead her around the mansion. When she was about to go back to Xiaozhu, she saw Meng Ji and a few hugging a pile of them on the other side of the corridor. The clerk's servant hurried past.

    For some reason, she remembered what happened in the study on the second floor of Xiaozhu, and called out, "Mr. Meng."

    Mengji was just passing by.

    When he saw Lu Jinxi's figure from a distance, his eyelids jumped, and just as he was about to urge the servants behind him to leave quickly, she was stopped.

    It won't stop now.

    Feeling a little nervous in his heart, he walked over and bowed: "Meng Mou has seen his wife. He was just about to send the documents to the Ministry of Rites, but I met you. I wonder what your instructions are?"

    Lu Jinxi glanced at him with a half-smile.

    At the moment, I just pretended that I didn't understand the meaning in his words that he was very busy, and instead stretched out the white and slender palm towards him and spread it out gently.

    The voice was cold: "Bring it."

    Meng Ji was so frightened that he almost fell to his knees, unable to speak properly, and forced a smile: "What, what do you want?"

    This time, the smile on Lu Jinxi's face instantly fell.

    Changing your face is faster than flipping a book!

    How has Meng Ji seen this battle? Knowing that she is not a kind person, and knowing that his son-in-law put her at ease, he didn't dare to stand up and resist. into her hands.

    "Give it to you, all to you!"

    A thin letter with a faint scent of ambergris.

    As soon as Lu Jinxi lowered his eyes, he saw the small characters on the lacquer that he had not been able to read clearly before—Yi.
