Return of the Swallow

Yang Zhifu was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, then he couldn't help laughing clearly: "Young lady can see clearly, but I think too much."

Qiu Feishan shook her head lightly with a smile, didn't say any more, just wrote a reply with a pen.

Qin Yining got accurate information here, so he went to the kitchen and asked the cook to prepare tomorrow's banquet.

The cook heard Qin Yining's whisper, and said in surprise: "Princess, this..."

Qin Yining smiled, "Just do it, it's not too much. If you can't make it, tell me, and I'll order someone to help you. You just need to do your best to cook the dishes well, and you will be rewarded later."

"Yes!" The cook was overjoyed, and brought the servants under the cook together to salute Qin Yining.

This is the first time Qin Yining has entertained guests in the Qin Mansion after returning to the old capital. The servants and kitchen servants in the whole mansion are all in high spirits. After receiving the order, the lady in charge of shopping has started to get busy Get ready and try to collect all kinds of vegetables, meat and seasonings early on.

When Qin Yining returned to the room, Ji Yuncai asked puzzledly, "Will the concubine entertain her with so many delicious dishes, will she be flattering her too much?"

Qin Yining shook his head, and said gently: "We don't know her background, but with the financial resources of the Stone Company, she must have seen a lot of good things. If you want a banquet, please order something good, so that the shopkeeper Qiu is not used to it. And ..."

Qin Yining paused for a moment, smiled and lowered his voice, "I'm not just doing this."

At this time, Jiyun had come to his senses, nodded and said: "Princess is very resourceful."

Qin Yining smiled and said: "You have also learned to be talkative. This is not a good plan for me, but I can't find a way to suppress it. It depends on fate."

Qin Yining propped his chin and looked out of the window. In the spring, the old capital was accompanied by rain, which had already wetted the new green leaves of several potted bonsai under the porch.

I don't know if it will work this time.

The most important thing is to find out Qiu Feishan's attitude.

The next day was a beautiful day, and it turned out to be a great sunny day.

The cook was busy in the early morning, during which Qin Yining went to check.

In the afternoon, when the servant guarding the intersection was running back and forth to talk, Qin Yining and Cao Yuqing were playing chess on the corridor on the first floor of Shuorenzhai.

"I have seen the carriage coming."

Qin Yining put down a white puck and said with a smile, "She came on time."

Cao Yuqing casually threw a small handful of sunspots back into the chess basket, covered her mouth and yawned lazily: "From what you said just now, she should be a not-so-simple woman, and she probably saw that you had ulterior motives for the banquet."

"That's right, I put all my thoughts on the table, and she must have made several drafts because of her intelligence." She stood up and straightened her clothes, "Let's continue when we're done, don't clean up the chessboard. "

Cao Yuqing smiled and pushed her away: "Got it! Hurry up, don't keep your distinguished guests waiting, and go to the barracks privately to see your man suing you."

Qin Yining paused, knowing that Cao Yuqing was reminding her to be on guard, so she couldn't help laughing: "I know Aunt Cao cares about me, don't worry, I'm not a soft persimmon who can be bullied."

Seeing her confident appearance, Cao Yuqing couldn't help laughing.

Qin Yining led the people to greet the door in person, and the curtain of the ordinary flat-topped carriage just happened to be raised.

Qiu Feishan, who was wearing a brocade robe with white arrow sleeves, got out of the carriage with the help of her maid.

Their gestures showed elegance and nobility. When they raised their heads, the two looked at each other, and they both smiled first.

Qiu Feishan stepped forward to salute first, "Thank you, Princess, for your hospitality."

"You don't need to be so polite. Based on the relationship between our two families, this should be done."

She was talking about the relationship between the Stone and the Pingnan Army.

However, the current balance between the Stone Company and the Pingnan Army was not a pleasant process. The business of the Stone Company in the old capital was almost closed down by Pang Xiao.

Qiu Feishan secretly thought that this princess is really not a good match, and said with a smile: "That's exactly the case, and thanks to the prince leading the soldiers to guard this place, we ordinary people have a good life. Even if the princess doesn't The next post, the little girl is also looking for an opportunity to come to visit, and she must repay the kindness of protection."

What Qiu Feishan meant was obvious. Everyone knew how the Pingnan Army protected the Stone. She was a disguised threat.

The two exchanged words, but they didn't show any displeasure, and they didn't say a single dirty word. At the same time, they had already passed a move with a smile on their faces. Bingtang, Jiyun, and Biying brought by Qiu Feishan were all in a burst. My heart was jumping with fear, I thought to myself that today's banquet is really not easy.

All the way to the flower hall for the banquet, it is obvious that the place has been cleaned and decorated, the floor is covered with a thick carpet of flowers, and the long black lacquered table in the middle is already filled with cups, plates and dishes. The dishes are rich and complete, which is not unusual The banquet at the banquet was more like the scene where the empress dowager and the empress dine in the palace.

"Treasurer Qiu, please take a seat."

"Princess please."

The two were modest, and they sat opposite each other at both ends of the long table. The maidservants stood behind each other.

Qin Yining ordered the singing and dancing to start.

While the musicians were preparing and the dancers entered the stage, Qiu Feishan looked at the delicate dishes on the table with all kinds of delicacies from all over the world, and the corners of her mouth twitched involuntarily.

"The concubine is so gracious and entertaining, the little girl is very flattered. The 'capital' cook from the concubine's house is really a genius."

Where is this cook from the capital? It's clear that you have hired a cook from all over the place, right?

How could Qin Yining fail to hear the irony in her words? But she still didn't change her face, and nodded in agreement: "Yes, I always thought that his craftsmanship is good, and being praised by the shopkeeper Qiu is a proof of his talent. In the future, the princess will definitely give him a monthly salary increase." As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to signal Qiu Feishan that you don't have to be polite, "Please feel free to shopkeeper Qiu, please don't be polite."

The table was too big, and there were too many dishes, so it would be impossible to bring food by yourself, so Qiu Feishan simply ordered the maid to serve her dishes. Biying is well-trained, and she can tell what Qiu Feishan wants to eat with just one look.

The same is true for Qin Yining's side, Jiyun is serving beside him, and from time to time, he lowers his eyes to quietly look at the situation on Qiu Feishan's side from the corner of his eye.

Qin Yining ate the food leisurely, paying attention to the girls who were dancing. But she inadvertently paid attention to Qiu Feishan's taste.

Qiu Feishan is particularly fond of spicy food, her red lips are red and sweaty on the tip of her nose, but she still twitches her index finger while grabbing those Sichuan dishes.

Qin Yining didn't talk too much, after the two of them finished their meal and had tea, they talked about the scenery of the capital, the scenery of various places, and the local customs of the old capital.

It has to be said that Qiu Feishan is a very knowledgeable person, chatting with her, no matter what aspect she talks about, she can have something to say. And when the two of them no longer spoke sharply, and put aside their positions, they found that they were actually pretty good at talking.

When the sky was getting dark, Qiu Feishan got up to say goodbye, and Qin Yining personally sent him to Yimen before turning back.

Jiyun said in a low voice: "Princess, the taste of the shopkeeper Qiuda seems to be from Sichuan."

Qin Yining said indifferently: "That may not be the case."
