I was Idle and Cool - Chapter 184

The former husband was a general of the town, and the current husband is a scholar of the Palace of Preserving Harmony.

Who didn’t envy Lu Jin’s life in the first place?

Now, when they mention it, they all look at each other, dumbfounded.

How to do?

If her ex-husband is not dead, then this Lu family is not considered a widow, nor should she marry Gu Juefei. Not to mention that Xue Kuang is still alive now!

This is simply something that is not dared to be written in the usual drama!

How did Xue Kuang feel after learning about this?

How was Gu Juefei who married Xue Kuangfa’s wife?

How did Lu Jinxi feel when she remarried Gu Juefei and learned that her deceased husband had come back to life?

OK.

Can’t think of it either.

This kind of thing may not be encountered once in a hundred years, let alone the characters involved are big people who can make the entire court tremble by stomping their feet!

So, whose wife should Mrs. Lu be?

Once the people had passed their initial excitement for Xue Kuang’s triumphant return, they could not control themselves to turn their attention to this strange thing they had never heard of or seen before.

The city was full of storms for a while.

All kinds of rumours abound.

Some people say that the general was saddened after returning to the mansion, some people said that Gu Juefei was full of anger when he left the palace, and some people said that Lu Jinxi was restless in the Taishi mansion and washed his face with tears…

Of course, it seems that there are also fish in troubled waters.

For example, how did Xue Kuang spend the past ten years in the Xiongnu, why did Princess Lanqu believe that he was a Han Chinese with an unclean identity, and secretly guessed that there was a romantic affair between the two.

It’s just that Xue Kuang is full of glory after all, and he is a hero who has made a new round of great achievements in Yu Guoli. This so-called “love affair” does not dare to make up too much. Therefore, it is only roughly limited to that Princess Lanqu of the Huns who is infatuated with General Xue, but the general is dedicated to serving the country, and he will not change his mind. Still choose to stand on the side of Daxia…

Of course, there are smart people in the marketplace.

Almost on the day when these rumors swept through, someone keenly discovered the huge doubts hidden in this series of events and rhetoric:

First, Xue Kuang had been hiding in the Xiongnu for ten years. The relationship between the two countries had been frozen for the first six years, but then a peace was negotiated. In the last three or four years, there have been border trade and mutual markets, and the relationship was too good. Why couldn’t Xue Kuang secretly inform the court and wanted to fight alone without letting others know?

Second, although the Bell and Drum Towers in the capital were set up to tell the time, ringing the bell in the middle of the night was a warning in times of crisis, and had the effect of awakening the city defense and calling in heavy troops. It was a good thing that Xue Kuang brought the Huns to surrender, so why did the bell tower ring the bell?

Third, from the Xiongnu to the capital, across thousands of miles of Guanshan, there are countless passes to be knocked. Even if Xue Kuang was on the starry night, how could there not be a little bit of wind along the way? Even though he was the God of War in the past, after all, he hasn’t returned for ten years, and he has come back from the dead again. Clearing customs should not be so easy, quietly!

It’s just that Xue Kuang is returning for the first time, and it is the first day of the new year. The various ministries in the DPRK have sealed their seals, and they don’t handle any official business, nor do they hold court meetings.

Therefore, these rumors are only spread in private on a small scale.

Few people dared to take the risk of the world and stand up and question Xue Kuang’s nose at such a time.

Most people are still immersed in the most common rumors in the market.

The return of Xue Kuang, the **** of war, ignited their greatest enthusiasm.

But in the residences of the major powers and dignitaries in the capital, the reactions were quite different.

The Princess Chang’s Mansion, located in the inner city, is as luxurious and splendid as ever, and it is festively decorated on this good New Year’s day.

It’s just that Princess Yongning was sitting in the room with a dazed expression on her face.

The young man with a face like a powder crouched at her feet, and gently beat her legs, trying to attract her attention: “Princess, everyone is happy outside. What’s wrong with you?”

The purple gold auspicious beast incense burner on the case was burning expensive agarwood incense, but it couldn’t calm her heart even half at the moment.

Her consort is Xue Kuang’s second uncle, Xue Huan.

What came to her mind at the moment were the words that the late emperor had no intention of mentioning to her when he was still alive, and the words that she relayed to Xiao Che more than ten years ago.

Xue Kuang is back.

He should have come for Gu Juefei.

But I don’t know why, when she was taking a nap just now, she dreamed of Xue Huan with blood on her face, the concubine who used to love her…

To this day, Princess Yongning has to admit that——

Gu Juefei is right.

Xue Kuang really wanted to rebel back then, otherwise he wouldn’t have come back so prepared now, with the so-called heart of the people, and the achievements of the future!

Perhaps, the dark plan of the royal family, this man who lived under the protection of his father and brother in the past, is clear.

He came back, not only for Gu Juefei.

“There are 36 checkpoints from the border to the capital. If he comes all the way through the checkpoint, there is no way that there will be no rumors along the way. And how can these 36 checkpoints allow him to pass safely…”

Princess Yongning’s eyes were empty, and she muttered to herself.

“It was someone in this dynasty who was answering him, someone wanted him back!”

“Eldest princess, long princess?”

The male pet has never seen her so absent-minded, only to think that her graceful face with some traces of time has actually added a layer of eerie terror!

With a trembling voice, he called out to her.

But Princess Yongning, who was sitting high on the imperial concubine’s couch, just turned her head slowly when she heard the sound, her icy eyes fell on him, but a plain and unwavering sentence: “Get off.”

The sky is clear after the snow, and the wind and smoke dissipate.

The prosperous capital is the same as in the past. Ordinary and mediocre people walk among the buildings, laughing and laughing, but they can’t detect the brewing situation and the dormant danger.

Lu Jinxi slept until the afternoon.

Shen Zheng momentarily, she opened her eyes lazily.

The rumor that flew all over the capital, of course, also spread to the Taishi Mansion, which was closely related to it, and was known to every servant in the house.

It’s just that Gu Juefei has already issued a strict order, and no one dared to show any strange expression, let alone take the initiative to mention this in front of Lu Jinxi.

Everything was business as usual, as if nothing major had happened.

The same goes for the wind chimes, who only bowed their heads and came up to serve her in dressing and washing.

After she came back last night, she ate nothing, and then slept again, and her stomach was inevitably empty. The porridge and rice for nourishing the stomach had already been prepared in the kitchen, and it was hot when she woke up, and it was delivered all the way.

After she finished washing, she just sat down at the dining table to eat.

Lu Jinxi took the bowl and squeezed the spoon. He didn’t ask what was going on outside, but only asked, “Where is your lord?”

“In Lonely Window Building, it’s like I called someone to talk about things. Just now, Mr. Meng came here to pick up things. When he mentioned it, he said that the adults have not gone to rest.”

She didn’t need to say more, Feng Chi knew what she was really asking, so she told the truth.

Lu Jinxi was silent for a while, and finally didn’t ask any more questions.

Today, how could Gu Juefei fall asleep peacefully?

There are too many, too many things he still has to plan and prepare…

Feng Chi quietly looked at her expression, brought the last hot soup, hesitated for a moment, and said softly: “More than an hour ago, someone from the old lady came to look for you, but I heard you were sleeping, so I didn’t disturb you. I left a message and said that I will tell you when you wake up, and please go to the old lady.”

It should come, it will come eventually.

She remarried, but Xue Kuang came back. The old lady was the one who opposed this marriage, not to mention that after Gu Juefei’s explanation this morning, she has completely understood the relationship between him and Gu Juefei’s father and son. resentment.

Now, what kind of attitude will he have?

Lu Jinxi closed his eyes, looked at the lotus seed soup in the bowl, stirred it around with a small white porcelain spoon, and after a while said, “Got it.”

She ate the meal without saying a word.

The maids inside and outside didn’t even dare to breathe.

After a little tidying up after the meal, and light makeup on her face, Lu Jinxicai led her maid through two corridors with a calm and collected face, and entered the old lady’s house after being passed around.

“L……”

The snow melted on the eaves and merged into a stream of water, which fell bit by bit from above.

The old lady Gu Chengqian’s white hair was like flying fluff, leaning on the cane tremblingly, standing under the porch and looking up at the empty sky.

The hunched body, the old state of Long Zhong.

Just looking at it like this, there is an indescribable sadness and desolation.

“Daughter-in-law Jinxi has seen the old lady, and I wish her well.”

Lu Jinxi walked over, stood five steps away from him, and bowed to him.

Hearing the sound, Gu Chengqian turned his head to look at her. Those old eyes were filled with so many emotions that Lu Jinxi couldn’t distinguish them right away.

Complicated to the extreme.

He seemed to be in a trance, looked at her for a long time, and then asked in that old and broken voice: “…These days, let him go first, is it okay?”

“…”

Lu Jinxi was suddenly stunned.

This is the first time she has heard from Gu Chengqian that he mentioned Gu Juefei and asked about his current situation since she married into the Gu family for three and a half years.

For a moment, her heart was agitated, and a burning and scorching emotion grew deep in her heart.

But before she could answer, Gu Chengqian sighed with a smile.

He leaned on crutches, staggered into the house, and said only: “You came just in time, play chess with me.”

All the words that were about to be said but not said were blocked in his throat, and Lu Jinxi couldn’t even react.

When he returned to his senses, Gu Chengqian had already walked into the house.

She could vaguely understand the complicated state of mind of this old lady who had been in the courtroom, and stood silently for a while, and finally walked in.

The chessboard is placed under the window.

The dragon in the room was as warm as ever.

Lu Jinxi’s chess skills are as good as ever, and the old lady’s chess style is as steady as ever. It’s just that she has keenly and sadly noticed that the old man sitting opposite her holding on to the white **** has placed several wrong pieces because of his old and disobedient hand…

It’s just that she doesn’t say it.

dare not say.

Can not bear to say.

After a game of chess, Lu Jinxi still lost.

The old lady then sighed and laughed, shook her head and said, “How come your chess skills still haven’t improved at all? You don’t look like your father at all. When Lu Jiuling played chess with me, he was very good at it. Very.”

How could she be like Lu Jiuling?

If the person sitting here is the Lu family, there may be some possibility.

Lu Jinxi laughed along with her, but she put her hand down and scrambled the pieces on the chessboard, picking out the black and white pieces that had already been decided, and said, “You and your daughter-in-law have been playing chess for three and a half years. I know that my daughter-in-law has no talent at all. Even if the eldest son has taught her hand-in-hand, it is still difficult to match you. It’s not that the daughter-in-law is too weak, but the old lady, your chess skills are too strong. “

In front of him, she would always mention Gu Juefei vaguely.

Just because she knew that the old lady would not come to her to play chess for no reason. How could he not have the slightest feeling in his heart for this son who was raised by himself, a genius of the Gu family?

It’s just that he won’t go to Gu Juefei, and Gu Juefei won’t go to him either.

The father and son, living in the same house, lived like strangers.

Gu Chengqian didn’t know if he was aware of her intentions, so he was silent for a long time before he said: “Playing chess is not always done overnight, you need to look at the overall situation and eyesight, and you have to be patient to slowly close the net. Now you are old. Light, it’s normal to play badly. I’ve played against people for many years, but I’ve accumulated a lot of chess records. I’ll have someone send it to you later. If you want to win, you should read it roll by roll.”

Chess?

After playing chess for three and a half years, the old lady always laughed at her poor chess skills and didn’t really care.

Today, he said he wanted to give her chess records?

Lu Jinxi faintly sensed an unusual taste, but for the time being it was difficult to tell what was the reason for the unusualness.

Is it Gu Juefei?

Or was it Xue Kuang, who was still beautiful last night?

She didn’t know what to say for a while, so she had to accept his kindness with a smile, thanked him, and claimed that she would read the chess manuals one by one, and lived up to the kindness of the old lady.

The chess has been played, and the words are finished.

At this point, according to the past, it is almost time to end the farewell.

It’s just that today’s old lady did not let her leave, but watched her mix up the chessboard little by little. You have me, I have your pieces, and re-divided them into two clear black and white arrays to earn the chess. In the box, he finally revealed the purpose of calling her here today.

“Xue Kuang is back, you were in the palace last night, should you have known?”

Lu Jinxi just closed the chess box. At this moment, he paused and stopped moving. He blinked slightly, but did not speak.

The old lady asked this question, and she didn’t need her to answer.

He just raised the old eyes, and there was a kind of tiredness in his eyes that he had seen through the world, and then asked her, “It’s been three and a half years, do you want to go back now?”

“…”

Lu Jinxi was completely stunned.

Rao was that she had prepared well before coming, and she never thought that Gu Chengqian would speak so directly.

Hearing his innocent voice, she could easily sense the kindness of this old lady to her.

Because in his opinion, he is just an innocent victim.

At this moment, as long as there is a certain “thinking” in her mouth, I am afraid that he will do everything and no matter how opposed Gu Juefei is, and send her back to the general’s residence, assuming that nothing has happened in the past three and a half years.

Gu Juefei’s opinion, he doesn’t care.

He doesn’t care about the so-called face of the Grand Master’s Mansion.

All he needs is the most certain answer from her Lu Jinxi client.

So, Lu Jinxi also gave her this answer.

She gently retracted the fingers resting on the chess box and folded them in front of her in a polite and courteous gesture.

Then he bowed to him and said with a smile, “Daughter-in-law doesn’t want to.”

For Gu Chengqian, is such an answer expected or unexpected?

After all, Lu Jinxi still can’t know.

Because in the next moment, the half-open door was pushed open by someone vigorously, and hit the wall with a “bang”, and the huge sound shook people to explode!

She turned her head and saw Gu Juefei with a pale complexion, his chest heaving, standing outside the door, as if he had just arrived in a hurry after receiving a message from the people below.

He didn’t even enter the door, but looked directly at Gu Chengqian coldly.

“What does the old lady want to say to her?”

Gu Chengqian looked at him quietly, with thousands of emotions flowing out of his eyes, but in the end he didn’t answer, he just turned his head to Lu Jinxi and said, “I see, you can go back.”

Lu Jinxi actually wanted to persuade him, but after looking at Gu Juefei and the old lady, he knew that the father and son should have the same temperament, even if persuasion was useless.

In my heart, I just felt that a rock was pressing down heavily.

In the end, she didn’t say anything, got up, said goodbye silently, and walked to Gu Juefei’s side.

Gu Juefei was cold and rigid, stood still and didn’t move. Before leaving, he only asked: “Father, do you have anything to say to me?”

With a “father”, Gu Chengqian’s body trembled.

It’s just that he sat with his back to the door, and after a long time, he didn’t turn his head, let alone say a word.

So Gu Juefei laughed, hid his disappointment, and turned away.
