Return of the Swallow

Everyone has a love for beauty, even if they are both women, Qin Yining couldn't help admiring the girl a few more times, the more she looked at her, the more beautiful she felt.

Pang Xiao also raised his eyes and saw the scene outside the carriage. Seeing that Qin Yining was staring at the girl, he snorted softly and turned her face to him, and whispered in her ear: "Look at what other people are doing so seriously. .”

Qin Yining said with a smile: "Except for Aunt Cao, I have never seen such a beautiful woman before, so I can't help but take a few more glances."

Pang Xiao snorted softly, "Look yourself in the mirror before you tell me you've never seen a beautiful woman." The sour tone made Qin Yining laugh.

The carriage stopped, and someone outside raised the curtain.

Pang Xiao got out of the car one step at a time.

Seeing the tall and handsome Pang Xiao coming out, the female relatives behind Zhifu Yang took a few glances, and all lowered their eyes in unison.

Zhifu Yang led a few people to meet him quickly.

Unexpectedly, Pang Xiao didn't go to greet first, but turned around and leaned into the carriage, and personally helped Qin Yining, who was wearing a red arrow-sleeve jacket skirt, a white fox armpit fur collar cloak and a ruby-embedded white fox fur lying rabbit, out of the carriage.

Zhifu Yang met Qin Yining that day, but the scene was too chaotic, and Qin Yining deliberately dressed in an ordinary way, so Zhifu Yang didn't observe carefully.

However, when he saw it at this moment, he couldn't help but take a few more glances. Prince Zhongshun and his concubine are handsome and domineering, and the other is very glamorous, and their intimacy and warmth are undisguised. They are really an enviable couple. Just looking at their interaction, I can't help but feel sincere Smile up.

Even if Yang Zhifu is like this, the feelings of the women's family members will only be even greater. The wife and young lady of the Zhifu looked at Pang Xiao and Qin Yining with emotion, obviously very curious about them.

But Qiu Feishan, who was dressed in men's clothes, had a calm face, just looking at the two of them calmly with a decent smile.

As soon as Qin Yining raised her eyes, she met Qiu Feishan's gaze.

Qiu Feishan was obviously taken aback for a moment, but she didn't dodge, she smiled and nodded in greeting.

Qin Yining also nodded to her, but he was a little surprised. This girl is wearing men's clothes, but it seems that she doesn't want to pretend to be a man, she just wears men's clothes casually. She doesn't deliberately hide that she is a woman, but she doesn't deliberately act like a man, as if wearing men's clothes is a matter of course.

Qin Yining was even more curious about Qiu Feishan.

Yang Zhifu has already greeted him at this time, "Prince Zhongshun, Wangfei, you two are honored to come, the humble house is really full of splendor!"

Pang Xiao returned the gift with a smile: "Master Yang is too polite, it's my king and Zhuo Jing who are bothering you."

"Where, where, please, my lord and concubine." Yang Zhifu stepped aside and made a gesture of invitation.

Pang Xiao followed politely.

Qin Yining was naturally two steps behind, walking with the magistrate's wife and the two girls.

The magistrate's wife held Qin Yining's arm affectionately, and said with a smile: "When I first met the princess, I felt very kind and friendly, and there was no sense of strangeness at all."

Qin Yining smiled, and said kindly: "That's right, I also feel very kind when I look at the magistrate's wife. The two ladies are also the same."

The two women followed behind the magistrate's wife and Qin Yining, and they all smiled when they heard this.

The Yang Mansion was not very big, and the few people passed through the front hall, walked around a clean courtyard, and then turned around to the warm pavilion for guests.

So no outsiders were invited this time, only their two families got together, so when they arrived at the Nuan Pavilion, everyone sat around a table of eight immortals.

The magistrate Yang asked Pang Xiao and Qin Yining to sit at the top, and he said politely with a smile on his hands: "It's really a neglect. I have never had a chance to get together with the prince before. Such a simple banquet is really a neglect."

"Where is it? I am very happy to have the opportunity to talk to Yang Zhifu." Pang Xiao didn't seem to mind that Yang Zhifu ignored him before. When he first came to the post, Yang Zhifu didn't even show his face.

Yang Zhifu also knew what he had done before, as long as it was an individual, he would feel uncomfortable. To be honest, this time when Pang Xiao was pitted so badly during the civilian chaos, if he followed his original intention, he would never want to have more interactions with Pang Xiao.

But now...

Yang Zhifu laughed and said: "The same is true for the lower officials. The prince is shrewd and decisive in dealing with things, and has great resourcefulness. The lower officials have long been looking forward to having the opportunity to get together with the prince."

Looking at the female relatives, Yang Zhifu said again: "My lord, my concubine, I'm here to introduce you two. This is my wife, Yuan Shi."

The magistrate's wife stood up and saluted Pang Xiao and Qin Yining: "I belong to the Yuan family, and I greet the prince and princess."

"Exemption." Pang Xiao and Qin Yining said in unison.

Zhifu Yang pointed to the pretty girl in women's attire and said, "This is the only daughter of the lower official."

Miss Yang also saluted immediately.

"Miss Yang is free." Qin Yining smiled and helped her up.

Yang Zhifu laughed again: "This is the girl from my relative's family, Qiu Shi, who called me uncle because of backup."

Qiu Feishan stood up and greeted Pang Xiao and Qin Yining. She performed a woman's ceremony, but she was not at all delicate and artificial, but she was graceful and free and easy.

Qin Yining smiled and said, "Miss Qiu is free."

Yang Zhifu also explained: "The reason why she is wearing men's clothes is because their family is in business, and they have only one child in their house, so she has to be a big leader, because it is inconvenient to wear women's clothes when walking outside. I started wearing men's clothes when my uncle was young, even if I don't hide that I am a woman, at least there will be a lot less trouble when walking."

"Exactly." Qiu Feishan also laughed, "It made the prince and princess laugh."

Qiu Fei Shansheng's beauty is even more amazing with this smile. Her eyebrows are similar to Qin Yining's, both are slender willow eyebrows, and the slanted arc is not ostentatious, it only adds a little heroism to their delicate faces.

Qin Yining felt that this woman had a gentle temperament, elegant and elegant, and was a very cultivated person, but she could also clearly feel that this woman was not simple, because her grace and demeanor could not be concealed, even the prefect's wife and daughter were not as good as her That nobility.

Qin Yining smiled and said: "It's really admirable to be able to support the family business as a woman. I don't know what kind of business Miss Qiu is running?"

Qiu Feishan said with a smile: "My concubine Lao asked, my family's business has dabbled in all kinds of industries, and I'm not professional enough in what I do. At least I can still make ends meet."

Qin Yining nodded with a smile, knowing that the other party wouldn't speak directly, but just said some prevarication, so he didn't ask any further.

At this time, there was a pleasant sound of silk and bamboo in the hall, and the maidservants in green gowns filed in and put exquisite dishes on the table one by one.

Everyone tacitly changed the topic, listening to the music, watching the singing and dancing, eating wine and food, and occasionally chatting about some unimportant topics.

One party came prepared and tried to be easy-going, while the other party deliberately flattered and flattered, so the two parties became acquainted a lot after a meal.

When the servants brought up the tea tray again, Yang Zhifu picked up the tea bowl and coughed lightly.

The magistrate's wife immediately touched the corners of her lips with a handkerchief, stood up with a smile and said, "Excuse me." She left the Nuan Pavilion with the magistrate's daughter.

The sound of silk and bamboo stopped abruptly. The dancers saluted, and the musicians, who had only played half of the tune, retreated together.

Qin Yining knew that this was a serious matter.

The prefect's wife had already left with her daughter, but this Qiu girl stayed where she was, so she knew that it might be related to this Qiu girl that Yang Zhifu invited them here today.

The hall was quiet, and neither Pang Xiao nor Qin Yining would ask first.

Yang Zhifu picked up the wine cup with a smile and took a sip, as if nothing had happened, he said slowly: "When my niece came to the old capital last year, did she also see some of the Pingnan Army when she walked around? grown ups?"

Qiu Feishan was sitting gracefully, with the corners of her lips raised, and she nodded lightly with a smile: "I have indeed seen it. Not only last year, but I also went there two days ago. Life in the barracks is hard. Soldiers, keep safe." It is not easy to defend the country at home, and being able to stick to the old capital in such a tight situation is really a good teaching by the loyal prince."

Qiu Feishan's words revealed two pieces of information.

First, she, a person in power who doesn't know what kind of industry she is, has the ability to enter the military camp for the first time. Moreover, the head coach Pang Xiao didn't know about her first entry into the barracks, and no one deliberately reported her back and forth. This is enough to see how much power the family has behind her.

The second is a feeling of kindness. The hidden meaning in her words seems to be that she feels the hardships of Pingnan Army's life and wants to donate money.

It's just that Qiu Feishan is a shrewd person, she didn't explain directly, but waited for the coach Pang Xiao to answer the words.

In fact, Pingnan Army really needs a sum of money now. After all, Pang Xiao just found out that Lu Zhang owed a large sum of money to the Stone Company, and it's been a year, and it's time to prepare the salaries of the soldiers. If someone is willing to give Ping Nanjun a sum of money, it will solve his urgent need.

It's a pity that Pang Xiao is not a short-sighted person.

Pang Xiao said with a smile: "Miss Qiu has won the prize. As a member of the Pingnan Army, one must have the awareness to protect the people in the south. If they don't have enough food and clothing, they can just temper the will of the soldiers. This is what an army should have." Character and style. It can play a big role on the battlefield."

Qiu Feishan smiled and nodded, "The Lord God of War really lives up to his reputation, he has his own way of training soldiers."

The refusal in Pang Xiao's words was so obvious that even the magistrate Yang couldn't help scrutinizing Qiu Feishan's face, as if he was afraid that she would get angry.

Pang Xiao didn't care, he just smiled and said: "I may not be able to do anything else, but the method of training soldiers is indeed the one I have come into contact with the most."

The smile on Qiu Feishan's face was still gentle and polite, and there was no sign of any abnormality.

Then they started talking about other things, Qiu Feishan didn't take the initiative to bring it up again, and Pang Xiao didn't care too much.

At the end of the banquet, when Pang Xiao took Qin Yining to leave, Yang Zhifu and Qiu Feishan saluted together, and Qiu Feishan said: "If the lord has any orders, you can order someone to come to Yang's residence to look for me, for Pingnan's sake." I am happy when the military does good things.”
