Chapter 17: Picked up for nothing
As soon as he heard this, Yun Jinxi's eyes lit up. immediately looked at Lu Yi with grateful eyes, and the starlight in his eyes made Lu Yi feel a little stuffy in his chest.
He immediately took a step back, kept a distance from Yun Jinxi, and in order to hide his panic, he walked to the table not far away, picked up the tea, and drank it all.
"Huh! That's ......" Yun Jinxi wanted to speak and stopped, and when he looked into Lu Yi's eyes, he completely closed his mouth. Don't say it, lest this moody guy don't want to help himself, and now there is not much labor to pick up for nothing.
"What is it?"
"I didn't ...... It's nothing! "Yun Jinxi is a little weak-hearted, anyway, it's not the first time, just drink it.
Lu Yi felt that he must have been tricked, and every time he saw this girl, he couldn't help but get closer.
"The old man wants to invite you to the mansion." Lu Yi seemed to be saying a very ordinary thing, looking at Yun Jinxi's slightly stunned face, he thought with some disgust in his heart, he was not smart when he looked at it.
Yun Jinxi was still thinking about which old man, and suddenly looked at Lu Yi in astonishment, "Mighty General?" ”
Lu Yi didn't say anything, this was a tacit acquiescence.
"Okay, when?"
Yun Jinxi's refreshing reply made Lu Yi hesitate.
"You don't ask me why?" Lu Yi was a little nervous for the first time.
"That's a mighty general, do you understand the name of the country? Not everyone can see it! "Yun Jinxi has wanted to get to know him for a long time, but this old man Lu, ahh Old Man Lu doesn't like to go out, even if he squats, there is no rule to follow.
Hearing Yun Jinxi's explanation, Lu Yi smiled with relief, feeling a little empty in his heart.
I don't know where the old man heard it, but he recently got close to a girl, and he had to meet him.
"Don't keep flowers by the window in the future."
Someone put down this sentence and disappeared in front of Yun Jinxi's eyes.
Yun Jinxi looked at the few Yueji who had been moved aside and shook her head, if she hadn't found the cactus, she would have placed a few rows in the window.
A few days later, the Prime Minister's Mansion received an invitation from the Mighty General's Mansion.
Yun Liangze looked at Yun Jinxi meaninglessly, "Old General Lu wants to invite you to the mansion as a guest, what do you think?" ”
Hearing this news, Yun Jinxi was not surprised, she Lu Yi is a man of action, and her box was delivered yesterday. This speed is even more powerful than a certain Feng.
"Old General Lu? Daddy said anything else? Even if he was not surprised, Yun Jinxi had to pretend to be very surprised.
Yun Liangze held an envelope sprinkled with broken gold leaf in his hand and handed it to Yun Jinxi, "Take a look for yourself." ”
Yun Jinxi couldn't recognize the traditional Chinese characters originally, looking at the ink on it, guessing that it should be written by Lu Yi, the words are like his person, and after reading it from top to bottom, he guessed the approximate one.
Old General Lu was unwell and wanted to ask Yun Jinxi to go over and take a look.
"Do you know how to heal?" Yun Liangze asked suspiciously.
Yun Jinxi shook her head, she didn't light up this skill.
"General Lu has seen you before?" Yun Liangze asked again.
Yun Jinxi still shook her head, thought for a while, and said, "But my daughter met bandits on the road a few days ago, and fortunately Lu Gongzi rescued her." ”
"Encounter bandits? Why haven't I heard you say it? Yun Liangze frowned, his face, which had always been kind on weekdays, was now covered with a layer of rain.
Yun Jinxi hesitated for a moment, as if he was a little embarrassed, but as if he had made up his mind, he knelt on the ground suddenly.
"The daughter also asked her father to promise Jinxi not to be angry, and the daughter is also in trouble." Yun Jinxi's voice was sobbing, and she lowered her head, so that people couldn't see the cunning that flashed in her eyes.
"Until now, you still have to hide it from your father?" Yun Liangze felt that his blood was surging, if Yun Jinxi had an accident, how could he be worthy of his deceased wife.
Yun Jinxi continued to bury her head, "Please atone for your father's sins!" ”
Yun Liangze took a deep breath, was silent and did not speak, and Liang Jiu on the side looked at Yun Jinxi who was kneeling on the ground worriedly.
It is related to the reputation of his daughter's family, why Yun Jinxi didn't tell Yun Liangze about this, he also has questions.
The hall was very quiet, so quiet that Yun Jinxi could clearly hear his own breathing.
"Go and call Miss's maid." Yun Langze kept his voice calm, trying to restrain his anger, the matter has not yet been clarified, so it is not easy to draw conclusions.
Because he suddenly received an invitation, for the sake of prudence, Yun Liangze only let Yun Jinxi come to Zhuyuan alone.
Liang Jiu sighed and ordered to go out to call someone.
"Ask you again for the Father, to say or not to say?" Yun Liangze, as the prime minister, is in a high position. Although he has a pair of kind eyebrows and kind eyes, he is a rigorous person, and his subordinates are all trembling and self-denying.
Yun Jinxi still lowered her head, her shoulders trembled slightly, as if she was sobbing silently, and as if she was frightened by Yun Liangze, she was trembling.
I was not afraid, but Yun Jinxi had never seen a cheap father like this, and knowing that he cared about his daughter to be so angry, Yun Jinxi felt a sense of guilt in his heart. But when I think of those pictures, this guilt of loss is nothing.
"Master, the people brought it." Liang Jiu's voice appeared in the hall again.
Yun Jinxi was suddenly called to the bamboo garden, Xiang'er was very worried, so she kept guarding outside the bamboo garden, and Liang Jiu didn't waste much effort to bring the person there.
Xiang'er saw her young lady kneeling on the ground, kneeling violently as if she was in a catastrophe, and the muffled sound, Yun Jinxi felt pain when she heard it.
"Master, what's wrong with Xiang'er, it's Xiang'er who didn't take care of Miss, and asked the master to spare Miss!" Xiang'er kept kowtowing on the ground, and within two clicks, his forehead was already red.
Liang Jiu don't look too much, he is too old to bear to see such a picture. Xiang'er's actions surprised Yun Jinxi a little, but she was more moved than surprised. It is really her luck to have a girl like Xiang'er who protects the lord.
"Don't be in a hurry to confess your guilt, let me ask you when was the last time Miss left the house!" Yun Liangze sat on the Taishi chair, holding the armrest of the Huanghuali tightly with one hand, maybe he didn't notice it himself, the green tendons on his hands were a little hideous, not like a literati who read poetry and books at all.
Xiang'er didn't dare to hide it, even if Yun Liangze didn't ask her, she could know the news from the porter.
"It's the 10th of last month." Xiang'er's eyes were rosy, and her young lady returned to the yard covered in blood that day, she had never seen her injured so badly.
"What did she go out for, do you know what happened?" Yun Liangze asked.
Listening to Yun Liangze's question, the tears that Xiang'er had been holding back burst out of her eyes in an instant, "It was the second lady who asked our young lady to go out to enjoy the flowers, and she didn't let the slave and maid follow." ”
