Chapter 40: Departure to Beijing (1)
So, Pan Changping happily instructed the servants to prepare the banquet, and then asked Quanfu to inform the ladies and girls in the house of everything one by one, so that they could come to the banquet.
In a daze, Pan Mingzhong heard someone calling her, she was sleeping soundly, she really didn't want people to disturb her sweet dreams, she turned around: "Hmm...... Snow Lotus, don't make trouble! ”
Xiaocui stood on the edge of the bed and looked at her, and when she saw her say something, she fell asleep again, and in desperation, she had to push Ming Zhong with her hand: "Girl, don't sleep!" The lord wants the girl to go to the banquet! The girl can't be too late! ”
Pan Mingzhong was half-asleep and half-awake, when she heard the call again, she waved her hand weakly, and said impatiently: "I'm so sleepy, let me sleep for a while!" Saussurea! ”
When Xiao Cui heard this name again, she sighed lightly, although she couldn't bear to disturb her, but because of the master's orders, she could only wake her up: "Girl, I'm not Xuelian, have you forgotten?" She...... It's gone! ”
Hearing this name, Pan Mingzhong suddenly woke up, and she opened her eyes: "Yes! She's gone, she doesn't want me anymore! These, I ...... How can you forget! ”
Xiaocui was a little sad: "Girl, just wake up!" As for the rest, don't think too much about it! Seeing her get up, Xiao Cui hurriedly handed her the toiletries such as the basin and handkerchief: "By the way, Second Young Master Lin is leaving, the master is going to set up a banquet for him, and the girl should go over early!" ”
After Pan Mingzhong finished rinsing, he heard what she said, and suddenly, his heart tightened, and hope was ignited again.
So, she hurriedly dressed and dressed up and went to the banquet early.
When she arrived at the place where the banquet was held, she saw that Mrs. Yang, Lian Zhong and others had already taken their seats, and after she saluted them, she found a seat and sat down.
She looked around and found that there was no Lin Yutang's figure, and suddenly, she was relieved.
After a while, a dark gray figure broke into people's sight, his figure was dignified, his eyes were cold, and they couldn't take their eyes off it.
When Pan Mingzhong saw him come in, she instinctively felt a sullen disgust in her heart, and she was sad, so she staggered his eyes and didn't look at him.
At the right time, Pan Changping also came in: "Yutang is about to leave!" As his uncle, I am reluctant! Once he leaves, it will be difficult to see each other again, so I have specially set up a banquet for him to say goodbye, so that you can have the opportunity to say goodbye to him, and wish him all the best and a smooth return journey! After speaking, he sat next to Lin Yutang.
"Thank you!" Lin Yutang stood up and confronted him, and then sat down again.
They talked, and the little guy served the food in turn.
Pan Changping picked up the green lotus-shaped wine pot and poured wine for him: "A light to eliminate sorrow, don't say anything!" ”
Lin Yutang picked up the wine cup and drank it all!
Pan Changping was interested, and poured wine for him again: "Two drunk streamers, no doubt!" ”
Lin Yutang saw that he was so enthusiastic, so he had to drink the wine.
Pan Changping didn't let him go, and poured wine for him again: "Three lamps to release his life, don't forget!" ”
Lin Yutang didn't say anything, only poured him wine and drank with him.
At this time, Aunt Zhao said: "Master, I have a matter, I don't know whether to talk about it or not?" ”
Pan Changping put down the wine glass: "Say it!" ”
Aunt Zhao said coquettishly: "Now that the old lady is paralyzed in bed, her condition is also unstable, I don't know if I can let Second Young Master Lin find a doctor in the capital to treat her, so as to comfort our filial piety!" ”
Pan Changping changed color suddenly, and hurriedly waved his hand: "It's just an old disease, it's hard to cure!" Besides, the old lady has reached the twilight of her life, so she doesn't have to bother Yutang! He stared at her angrily: "You too, how can you speak regardless of the occasion!" Not much to say! ”
Aunt Zhao was shocked, suppressed what she wanted to say, and hung her head silently.
Lin Yutang moved his eyes to look around, and saw Pan Mingzhong's eyelashes moving slightly, looking like he wanted to see but didn't dare to look, and felt a little funny in his heart! At the same time, he also noticed that everyone else was holding their breath, and the scene was serious and awkward for a while.
He shook his head and eased the atmosphere: "Uncle, it's worth worrying about trivial matters?" If you are sick, you will be cured, and leave that little matter to me, and I will talk to my brother! ”
Seeing that Pan Changping's lips opened slightly, and he wanted to say something to refuse, he immediately spoke up and interrupted him: "No need to say more, I will take care of this matter!" So be it! ”
Pan Changping turned his head and sneered at him: "That's it! You're done! ”
"But...... I have something to tell! When I'm done, you're going to say yes! ”
"Well said! Say! ”
"I heard that Ming Zhong was very happy with my brother and wanted to meet him! This time, I saw that she was worried and affectionate, and I couldn't bear it, so I wanted to fulfill her, take her back to the capital, and live for a while! Do you really want to accede to such a request? ”
Hearing this, Pan Mingzhong's face turned pale, his eyes widened, as if he was angry and panicked.
How could he be like this! I thought that after he left, he would no longer be able to endure that inhuman torture! But now, he didn't want to let go of the slightest opportunity to torture her, so cruel not only made her feel panic and despair, but also made her miserable! She also completely hated him!
Pan Changping glared at her angrily, his eyes revealing a hint of contempt: "You want to go with him?" What a shame! ”
Pan Mingzhong lowered her eyes, not daring to look at the eyes that disgusted her: "I'm not leaving!" I don't want to go! ”
Pan Changping snorted coldly and turned his head to look at Lin Yutang.
Lin Yutang smiled coldly: "Hmph, duplicity!" I remember that you used to be shameless, but now you have become shameless and dare not admit it! ”
As soon as he said this, Pan Mingzhong clenched his fist hidden in his cuffs.
All kinds of painful memories from before came to her mind like a tide, so abrupt, so piercing, that she was almost out of breath!
Shame! Shame again! It reminded her that someone had said those two words exactly! This unbearable past, she should have sealed, but now, he uncovered it in public, allowing the pain to spread in every imperceptible crevice. She will never be forgotten again!
Lin Yutang looked at her, his cold eyes were deep and sharp, as if he had seen her through: "Uncle, it's not difficult to agree to this matter!" Maybe it's good for you, too! So, hurry up and make good on the promise, I'm in a hurry! ”
Pan Changping took a few deep breaths, and when he thought about it, he smiled happily at him: "I agreed to this!" But you have to take good care of her! ”
Lin Yutang stared at her closely: "Don't worry, I will take good care of it!" ”
Pan Mingzhong noticed the staring of the two lines, raised his eyes to him, and looked at him.
This time, she didn't want to run away!
Pan Changping looked at her: "What are you doing in a daze!" Thank you for your second cousin! ”
She gritted her teeth and made a reluctant voice from her mouth: "Thank you!" ”
Seeing this, Pan Changping was displeased: "What kind of attitude is this!" There are no rules at all! Where have you learned the etiquette on weekdays! ”
She took a deep breath: "I ......"
Lin Yutang said coldly: "Don't say it, go pack your things!" Wait, I'm not waiting for you! ”
"Yes!" She endured it and saluted and said goodbye!
When she returned to her room, she saw Xiaocui coming towards her: "Help me pack some things!" ”
"Yes!" Xiao Cui should get down, walked to the top cabinet and opened the cabinet, and helped her clean up some softness: "Girl, what are you doing when you pack up?" ”
She's picking up her things: "Go on a long trip!" ”
When he was young, Mrs. Yang came in from outside the door: "Ming Zhong, you are leaving!" Take care! ”
Pan Mingzhong turned around and saw that it was Mrs. Yang: "Mother, I know, thank you!" With that, he picked up his things again.
Mrs. Yang walked up to her: "You kid, you're still so alienated from me!" And said: "By the way, A-Niang begs you for a favor, can you agree?" ”
Pan Mingzhong's hand moved: "What's the hurry?" You say! ”
"That's the case, Yun Zhong left with His Royal Highness King Yong, I haven't seen her for a long time, I don't know how she is doing now, I am very worried!" She smiled sadly, took out a thing tightly wrapped in a handkerchief from her arms, she opened the handkerchief, and handed it to her: "This is the jade floating flower chaise bracelet, which I have always carried on my body." When you arrive in the capital, you ...... Can you visit her in the palace, give her her things, and say hello to her on my behalf? ”
Pan Mingzhong smiled at her: "Yes!" ”
Mrs. Yang stuffed the things into her hand and clenched her cold hand again: "Thank you!" If she says anything when you see her, remember to tell me when you come back! With that, she burst into tears.
"I will!" She agreed, and Mrs. Yang said goodbye and left.
Pan Mingzhong put the things away, as if he remembered something, so he rummaged through the bedside.
By the way, I can't lose the Hanmei embroidered handkerchief embroidered by Snow Lotus! I'm going to take it with me.
She rummaged for a while and found it in an inconspicuous corner.
She held it in her arms and regarded it as a treasure.
When she finished packing, she took her baggage and walked out.
When Pan Mingzhong left the house, he saw a gorgeous and huge carriage parked in front of the house.
It should be this one! She patted her chest nervously and walked towards the carriage.
When she was about to step into the carriage, a jade hand with slender fingerbones lifted the black dragon pattern brocade curtain: "Don't get on the carriage yet!" ”
Pan Mingzhong raised his eyes, met his phoenix eyes with hidden anger, panicked for no reason, quickly lowered his head, and got into the carriage.
Suddenly, a dipterocarp fragrance came to her nose, rich and cool, pure and sharp, she took a few deep breaths, and her mood was a lot more comfortable. She was a little curious, so she looked for the fragrance, and saw a copper three-legged elephant ear incense burner on the small square table with eight treasure patterns, and the mist of incense continued to rise from the furnace.
She then sat down, she was a little uneasy, her eyes slipped, and she glanced around, only to see Lin Yutang, who was dressed in dark gray clothes, sitting opposite her. She hurriedly glanced over her eyes and saw Zhang Yuniang, who was wearing a ruyi cloud pattern shirt, holding a pipa and sitting next to Lin Yutang.
It turned out that she was not the only woman in the carriage! For a moment, Pan Mingzhong breathed a sigh of relief and greeted her.
Zhang Yuniang seemed to feel something, glanced back at her, and smiled at her.
Seeing the interaction between them, Lin Yutang snorted coldly, and slowly put down the hand that was lifting the brocade curtain: "Let's go!" ”
When the coachman heard the order, he immediately whipped the horses, and the carriage rolled westward.
