Chapter 39: A Lamp
Yu Panxi understood that his heart must be very turbulent and entangled, and he just didn't know how to face her for a while, not angry with her.
She said to Yinling: "Don't talk nonsense, there have been a lot of things in the DPRK and China recently, and the general is just too worried, not angry with me. Not only you, but also the maids and ladies in the courtyard are also beaten well, and no nonsense is allowed! ”
Yinling saw that her face was serious, and she didn't dare to say much, so she only went to tell her subordinates.
Yu Panxi waited until the second half of the night, and didn't see Xiao Chumo come back to sleep, so he had to rest by himself, but he didn't extinguish the pull in the house, and kept the light for Xiao Chumo.
Xiao Chumo actually didn't sleep in the study, he sat on the chair until his body stiffened, and then he realized that it was already the second half of the night.
He walked out of the study, paced to the door of the bedroom, looked at the candlelight in the room, and couldn't help but feel warm in his heart.
What Yu Panxi said before was indeed a big impact on him, as if he had overturned all the beliefs he had insisted on all these years, and he couldn't figure it out for a while.
But he couldn't find any reason to refute her, and he knew in his heart that everything she said was true.
The more this happens, the more difficult it is for him to accept, and the more he can't turn the corner.
After a whole day of awkwardness, by this time he was already tired both physically and mentally, and when he turned his head, he saw the candlelight all over the room, how could he not give birth to a warm current in his heart.
Xiao Chumo gently pushed open the door, walked to the inner room, and saw Yu Panxi sleeping peacefully on the bed, he couldn't help but smile a little on his face, took off his clothes, and carefully lay down on her side.
Yu Panxi didn't sleep deeply, as soon as he lay down, she woke up, but she was also confused, glanced at Xiao Chumo in a daze, and said vaguely: "I'm back." ”
Xiao Chumo nodded slightly, took her in his arms, and said apologetically: "It's me who is wrong, I shouldn't snub you because of this kind of thing." ”
But I didn't get a response from Yu Panxi for a long time, and I looked down to see that she was already asleep in her arms. In his arms, she seemed to be extra relieved, sleeping much more peacefully than before, and unconsciously rubbing into his arms.
Seeing him like this, Xiao Chumo couldn't cry or laugh, so he hugged her tighter, kissed her deeply on the cheek, and then fell asleep.
Because he was going to lead the troops out in five days, he only needed to concentrate on cooking at this time these days, and he didn't need to go to the morning court.
Yu Panxi woke up first, and when she met Xiao Chumo beside her, she immediately glanced at him in surprise, she didn't know when he slept next to her, obviously she had no memory of what happened last night.
But this still didn't prevent her from becoming in a very good mood, so she lay down again, and reached out to wrap her hand around Xiao Chumo's waist.
She can understand the momentary aspect, but she is somewhat sad to receive such a snub, but now these sadness are all gone.
As soon as she hugged her waist, Xiao Chumo also woke up, glanced at Yu Panxi, and also turned over and hugged her waist, and said in a slightly nasal voice: "Why wake up, let's sleep again." ”
"Sleep a little longer, I'll get up and prepare breakfast for you." Yu Panxi gently touched his face and said in a low voice.
Xiao Chumo took her hand and didn't let her leave, "No, sleep with me again." ”
Xu is a lot of things he suddenly figured out at that moment last night, the tense nerves that had been tense for days instantly relaxed, and he only felt extremely tired, and he couldn't wake up no matter how he slept.
Seeing him show a completely different side from usual, Yu Panxi felt fresh on the one hand, and felt that he was very cute on the other hand, so he followed his words, lay down, put his hand under his neck, and held him in his arms.
From the moment she was reborn, she swore that she would do her best to love and spoil him in this life, and she didn't want to be just a young bird under his wings, and she also had the ability to protect him and shelter him.
Xiao Chumo didn't feel anything wrong with the change in posture, he only hugged Yu Panxi tighter, only felt that the tip of his nose was full of fragrance, and he fell asleep again unconsciously.
When he woke up again, the sun was already high outside, and he rubbed his somewhat drowsy head, but there was no figure of Yu Panxi beside him.
He had to get up and put on his clothes, called Chulu in, and asked Yu Panxi where he had gone while washing?
Chu Lu said: "Madame went to the kitchen to cook herself, this should be almost ready." ”
Hearing that she was cooking by herself again, Xiao Chumo shook his head helplessly, there are so many people in the family, he just wants to cook by himself, how can he be so expensive, let her serve so carefully.
"General." Chu Lu called him, and said with some hesitation: "The slave maid looks at the lady is really meticulous to the general, and she has never collided with the general, everything is respected by the general, and the general still has to be considerate of the lady." ”
Xiao Chumo glanced at her with some surprise, he didn't expect to say this.
Chu Lu's background is also pitiful, she was originally just a child of an ordinary peasant family, but her parents were killed by the rebels, and she was also plundered as a military prostitute, he exterminated the rebels, and when he found her, she was holding a long knife, with two corpses in front of her, and she actually killed the soldiers who intended to humiliate her.
He saved her, originally wanted her to return to her hometown, but she insisted on following him, enlisted in the army to continue to exterminate the rebels, he refused to let her stay in the army as a cook, in the event of a war, she was carrying a kitchen knife to go to the front line to kill the enemy.
For the sake of her safety, Xiao Chumo had to agree to her joining the army, she was fierce and brave, even many men were willing to bow down, and no one in the army dared to provoke easily.
After returning to Beijing, he felt that it was not a long-term solution for her to stay in the army as a woman, so he arranged for her to be a maid by Yu Panxi's side, so that she could protect her, and secondly, she could live some comforting days.
And the only thing that makes her feel at ease is that she has experienced drastic changes in her life, her temperament has changed greatly, and she is even a little withdrawn and unwilling to talk to people. However, maybe her revenge has been avenged, and because she has changed to a stable environment, she has not been so withdrawn recently, but Xiao Chumo didn't expect that she would help Yu Panxi speak.
Xiao Chumo smiled and said, "What you said is right, this matter is indeed something I did wrong." ”
Seeing him so upright, his cheeks were a little hot for a while, and he stammered: "Slave, slave has said a lot." ”
"It doesn't matter." Xiao Chumo shook his head, "You are very good, although you are serving by our side, but you are not a slave, you just regard this place as your own home." ”
Hearing his words, his eyes were sour, and he knelt on the ground and said gratefully: "Madam, she is very good to me, thanks to the general, I am today again, and I am grateful." ”
"Alright, hurry up!" Xiao Chumo hurriedly reached out to help her.
Yu Panxi came in with a food box, and happened to see this scene, looking at Chu Lu's face full of tears, and Xiao Chumo was grabbing her arm, not understanding what the situation was for a while.
