When Lu Jinxi came up from the outside corridor and went all the way up the stairs to the study on the second floor, he was going inside with the latest report from the Xiongnu at the border gate.
But when he heard footsteps behind him, he paused.
Looking back, it was really Lu Jinxi, and was surprised for a while: "Madam?"
Lu Jinxi went upstairs with the corner of her skirt, but she didn't stop.
"Yes, I'm talking to Master Ji." Although he didn't understand where the subtle solemn expression on her face came from, Meng Ji subconsciously felt that it was not so simple, and added, "Young master just now asked you where you were going. Woolen cloth."
Lu Jinxi nodded and approached the study.
The people inside were really talking.
In this small building, Gu Juefei does not shy away from talking to people about anything, and there are trustworthy people inside and out, so his voice can be heard clearly.
"I am afraid that this appointment will be the limit of the emperor. Although it is a tree with deep roots, the wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it. I am afraid that you must be careful with your words and deeds in the future."
"Don't worry, Mr. Ji, I know it in my heart."
"Xiaguan guesses that you know it in your heart, but you are not at ease. Speaking of the situation on the Xiongnu side, it is really worrying..."
"Knock knock knock."
Because there was Ji Heng inside, Lu Jinxi didn't go in directly, but knocked lightly on the door that was hidden with only a gap left.
This time, the chatter inside stopped.
Then there was the sound of the tea cup being put down.
When Lu Jinxi heard someone stand up, it was Ji Heng, and smiled directly to Gu Juefei: "I have said what I have to say, and the lower official will stop bothering you and say goodbye."
After speaking, footsteps sounded.
In no time, the door opened.
Mr. Xue Tingzhi, Ji Heng, who had met in the General's Mansion in the past, came out of the door. He was not surprised when he saw Lu Jinxi standing outside the door. He just smiled and bowed slightly: "I have seen Mrs."
"Lord Ji, walk slowly."
Lu Jinxi was also not surprised, whether it was his winking gesture or the other party's natural attitude towards her, he just smiled and said goodbye to him.
Ji Heng was the second in the exam three years ago, and now he mainly works in the Hanlin Academy, but because of his outstanding talents and ideas, Xiao Che ordered him to walk in the South Study Room.
This is considered to be the emperor's think tank.
If you are lucky and able, you will be able to enter the cabinet in the future, and it is not a problem for Gu Juefei to be an ordinary official and a scholar at the moment.
It's just that he didn't wear an official uniform today, he simply wore a navy blue cotton robe, like an ordinary person.
When went downstairs, could only see the sleeve on the right dangling empty.
Lu Jinxi stood on the top and looked at it, and was dazed for a while, thinking of the talented Xue Tingzhi just now, and the strange performance of the old lady later...
"came back?"
A voice with a little warmth came from very close above her head, and then she reached out with both hands and took her into her arms from behind, laughing lazily.
"When did you even watch Ji Heng? Does he look as good as me?"
Lu Jinxi came back to his senses, withdrew his eyes, turned around in his narrow arms, and smiled: "Don't look at Mr. Ji's physical disability, but in terms of appearance, he is also one of the best talents. He is handsome and handsome, of course he is good-looking. "
However, it was indeed not as good-looking as the man in front of her.
The azurite-colored court clothes have not yet been replaced, and the layers of cloud patterns are stacked, like auspicious clouds covering the sky; the cranes with densely thorned stitches spread their wings on this heavy background.
In a state of majesty and depression, he wore an immortal aura.
The ups and downs of the court for more than three years and the experience of wind and rain have made him more mature, who was already calm.
Time has sculpted his face, polished his edges and corners, and precipitated his temperament, without adding half a wrinkle to him, and never making the brilliance of this suit fade away from everyone.
No matter where he stands, he attracts attention.
It's just that it's warmer and more dignified than before, as if he already has authority, he is calm and calm.
Hearing Lu Jinxi's solemn praise, he didn't show the slightest bit of anger or jealousy on his face, he just pondered the same solemnly: "There are three fires for a new official to take office. Completely impeach Ji Heng. What does Madam think?"
When he said the word "madam", the final sound gradually rose.
Like the end of a string.
With a slightly intoxicating tone like alcohol, it makes people tremble.
Lu Jinxi didn't know when he learned to call her with such a voice, but every time he heard the word "madam", he felt that his ears were filled with soft cotton, and people would float with his voice. stand up.
For a moment, he glared at him angrily.
"I don't think you belong to a dog, but a vinegar vat!"
Chapter 167 The strong wind will rise
Vinegar jar?
Gu Juefei listened and pondered for a while, but did not reject the title of the new crown at all, just gently shook her cold hand, still smiling.
"Who makes my wife so good, not only coveted, but also coveted by others?"
"..."
Just this sentence completely blocked everything Lu Jinxi was about to say.
When she raised her head, she could only see Gu Juefei's eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling. They were peaceful and seemed to contain a little deep meaning.
have to.
The sins of the early years.
She was helpless for a while: "I shouldn't have shown some of my nature in front of you long ago, and you have been running on a handle for more than three years..."
Of course, it means that Lu Jinxi just wanted to sleep and he didn't want to marry him.
Gu Juefei is magnanimous about some things, but some things...
Small belly chicken intestines.
It's just that for the two of them, the occasional small belly chicken intestines will not cause any contradictions. On the contrary, it is an innocuous and interesting adjustment in the tasteful days.
Gu Juefei wouldn't really think that Lu Jinxi would have any unreasonable thoughts about Ji Heng, nor would Lu Jinxi really think that Gu Juefei would impeach Ji Heng because of these little things.
The two forgot each other for a moment.
Immediately after, the words were dropped.
Gu Juefei's slender, slightly ink-stained palm covered her cool fingertips, and glanced outside again, her two sharp eyebrows frowned slightly: "Going to Shenglongchang again? Why did you come back at this time? The snow is not cold and the snow is cold, and what Dr. Zhang said, you forgot again..."
"After reconciling the accounts, I thought that it would be closed in recent years, so I wanted to buy some things for Xue Chi, so I went for a walk around Liulichang again. When I encountered something, I delayed a little."
Lu Jinxi honestly explained her itinerary.
It's just that when he mentioned "something happened", his eyebrows twitched a little.
Gu Juefei saw it at a glance, guessing that she had something to say.
After three and a half years together, he knew everything about her like the back of the hand.
But at the moment he didn't ask, just took her hand, untied her waistcoat, handed it to the wind chime on one side, and instructed: "Go and serve the hot soup."
"Yes."
The wind chimes took over the waistcoat, and walked down familiarly, seeing that the direction was to the small kitchen.
Lu Jinxi walked into the study with Gu Juefei.
With the promotion of his official position over the years, there are more and more things related to the court in this study. Including some unused blank memorials, memorials from various provinces, official uniforms, and even some ministers' memorials...
There are also a few more desks on the corners, with pen and ink.
