Chapter 93: Old Friends Meet
At noon, it's time for lunch.
Because Yu Panxi seems to be in a lot of energy today, and his body finally has some vitality.
As soon as Yinling and Chulu discussed it, they took the liberty to order the kitchen to make a few more side dishes that Yu Panxi loved to eat on weekdays. Soon a whole table was spread.
Although Xiao Chumo has been in the army all the year round, he has no requirements for appetite. But when he moved to the house, considering that Yu Panxi grew up in the palace since he was a child, his taste should have been raised.
Therefore, not only the maid and the maid were personally looked for, but even the cooking skills of the chefs invited by the house were also first-class, and the dishes cooked were all exquisite and beautiful, and the aroma was overflowing.
If I sat here in a different place, I was afraid that before I started to move the chopsticks, I would already be drooling all over the table.
However, Yu Panxi only glanced at it lightly, and was not in a hurry to move the chopsticks, but only asked: "What about the general?" ”
"General, he ...... said that there was something in the army today, and he would not come back for lunch for the time being. Let the lady eat first. ”
Yinling has always spoken more tactfully, so she changed the story of Xiao Chumo's absence in the mansion slightly. In fact, even if Xiao Chumo really has official business, how can he talk to her.
It's just that even she can see that after the empress ascended the throne, Xiao Chumo's arrangements have already been dealt with. Even if you are busy, it will not be to the point of staying in the army all day.
"Heh, now that the government is stable and the world is peaceful, what big can he do. It's just an excuse to avoid me. ”
Yu Panxi obviously didn't believe Yinling's words, so she simply picked out the matter by herself. Her cold snort was not for Xiao Chumo, but as if she was laughing at herself.
Yinling and Chulu, who were standing on the side, were worried, and thought that there were still a few little maids around who did not retreat, so they hurried to catch people.
Even if he knew that the subordinates selected by the general were very loyal, such a young maid couldn't control her mouth the most. They can't let the house also have bad comments about Madame.
It's just that Yu Panxi originally wanted to take advantage of this incident to find a reason to leave the house for a while. Anyway, there were already a lot of discussions about her and Wei Tingyan outside, so why bother with a few more.
"Don't embarrass them."
Yu Panxi waved his hand and told the two to stop.
"It just so happens that I haven't seen my father in a few days. Always let him come over, and the travel was not very good. I'll just go back and stay for a few days! ”
As she spoke, she glanced at Yinling twice: "You go down first, help me pack a few changes of clothes." Then tell the little guy in the back to prepare another carriage."
Yinling was also shocked by her words, and stopped talking a little. But seeing Yu Panxi's resolute gaze, she recalled the way she and Xiao Chumo got along in the past few days. I think both of them should be quiet.
So he still answered, and really went to pack his clothes.
"Madame!"
Chu Lu has always been straightforward, but suddenly heard Yu Panxi say that she was going back to her parents' house to live for a few days, and thought she was angry with Xiao Chumo. However, she had been in the army for the early years, thinking about revenge, and she was not very comforting.
She thought that Yinling could persuade Yu Panxi, but seeing that the latter suddenly listened to Yu Panxi's words and retreated, she was inevitably a little anxious.
And Yu Panxi heard her voice, thought about it, and said, "By the way, you stayed in the mansion for the first time." If the general comes back in the evening and asks, he will make it clear what we just said. ”
At the end, she added: "Of course, if he doesn't ask, you don't have to say it." ”
After speaking, Yu Panxi simply stopped eating, and got up directly and returned to the room.
Considering that Tai'anji Temple was outside of Kyoto, it was inevitable that she would have to sit in a carriage for a while, so she changed into a lighter dress. After the silver bell was cleaned up, the master and servant went out of the house directly.
Because Yu Panxi's decision came suddenly, and Steward Liu also saw that she and Xiao Chumo seemed to have a conflict. At this time, she learned that she was going back to her parents' house, so she naturally deliberately delayed it, planning to wait for Xiao Chumo to come back.
"Ma'am, the cushions in the carriage were removed and washed yesterday. If you want to go out at this time, you need to rearrange it, but I'm afraid you'll have to wait a while. ”
Steward Liu followed Yu Panxi's side, and after saying the excuse he had come up with, he said in a consultative tone: "You see that the day is quite big today, why don't you go back to the house and wait first?" ”
In the homes of the eunuchs, almost every house had several carriages, among which the upholstery and upholstery for replacement were calculated in multiples.
Xiao Chumo is a great general in Ningguo, how can there only be one or two sets in the house? It can't be so coincidental, they were all washed yesterday.
Yu Panxi came out of the palace, although he didn't know much about these trivial matters, he knew a little bit about them. How could he not guess that Steward Liu was unwilling to let her leave, and wanted to wait until Xiao Chumo came back.
It's just that Xiao Chumo has been deliberately avoiding her for several days, and he can't see anyone at all during the day. I'm afraid that Steward Liu's idea will fail.
So, she was not in a hurry, smiled at Steward Liu, and said, "No need, just lay a soft cushion, it must not take long." It just so happens that I haven't been out of the house for many days, so it's good to stand here and breathe. ”
She has talked about this, and Steward Liu can't say anything more. I was thinking about whether to send a small servant, saying that the carriage was broken and I couldn't go today, when suddenly a voice full of surprise came from not far away.
"Xiaoxi, it's really you!"
This voice came a little abruptly, and the three masters and servants were full of doubts, and they all looked up in the direction from which the voice came.
Not far away, a man in white was walking briskly towards this side. Seeing that he was very young, he had an ink-colored jade pendant hanging from his waist. And his face was full of surprise.
Yu Panxi felt that this voice was a little familiar, until the person got closer, and then realized that it was Chen Pingxiang.
This person was summoned to the palace when Mo Baozhou was in power, and he was also a musician. Although he did not seek a half-official position in the Department of Rites and Music, his talent in music was extremely high.
In Yu Feng's words, he is simply a rare genius!
Although Chen Pingxiang did not grow up in the palace like Yu Panxi, because he had a very gentle temper and was born like a handsome son, he had an excellent reputation in the palace.
Although it is not as good as Yu Panxi playing with the princes and princesses, almost no one will make it difficult for him. It can be said that it is a mixture of wind and water.
It's just that he offended Mo Baozhou because of a sentence before. Fortunately, the latter had not yet reached the point of madness at that time, and only loved to collect treasures from all over the world.
So a holy decree sent him out of the palace to travel, and he did not know when he would return.
"Xiaoxi, I didn't expect to meet you here."
I haven't seen Yu Panxi for at least a few months, and when I see him again, Chen Pingxiang is very happy.
However, looking at his smile, Yu Panxi suddenly remembered what happened before she was reborn.
