Return of the Swallow

"She may also mislead us. She eats something instead of eating it. Top novels are updated the fastest." Qin Yining recalled the process of getting along with Qiu Feishan just now, and couldn't help shaking her head. "She is a smart person, not like before. opponents are so easy to deal with.”

Jiyun hesitated for a moment after hearing this, then smiled and said: "Princess, the servants are dull and don't understand the intentions of the concubine. Since I know that the shopkeeper Qiu can see through it at a glance, and may intentionally eat dishes that I don't like, why does the concubine want to eat food that I don't like?" How about using this method to test her whereabouts?"

Qin Yining slowed down her pace, and said in a low voice: "I always feel that Miss Qiu has an unusual background. Although the foundation of the Stone Number is strong, she is still a businessman no matter how big she is. Please don't let the nobleness of her body match the conversation she has seen today. She is by no means a woman raised by a wealthy merchant family. Judging from her accent, she can speak standard official Chinese without a trace of local accent, and she is not from an ordinary family... Although she plotted against the prince, she did not look at her The calculations only look at the outcome of the matter, but it creates a win-win situation."

Walking to Chaoshou corridor, Qin Yining took Jiyun, Xianyun, Bingtang and the others to sit next to the beauty, illuminated by the dim light of the lantern, and said: "From her, I haven't seen the kind of person who insists on fighting to the death. In the end, of course, it is also possible that she hid deeply, and I misread it, but I always feel that the confrontation between her Stone and the Pingnan Army has more meaning than that, and there must be other things we don't know about. thing."

Several maidservants nodded.

Qin Yining said again: "So, today's banquet is not simply based on taste to determine where she is from, but to get a signal from her. If she is hostile, she must give false news, just like the prince sent to Guinan If she is not an enemy, she may take this opportunity to send me a signal, what is going on with the Stone number, maybe the answer lies in Shu."

The servant girls nodded again.

Jiyun suddenly said: "It turns out that Wangfei didn't use this to test her whereabouts from the beginning."

Qin Yining smiled and nodded.

While Qin Yining was talking with the maidservants in the veranda, Qiu Feishan also took the maidservants into the carriage, and the guards who did not follow into the mansion just now immediately surrounded the carriage well-trained.

Once in the carriage, as soon as the curtain was drawn down, Qiu Feishan hurriedly grabbed the water bag and poured a few mouthfuls, breathed out with her tongue out, fanned her with her hands, and made people outside the carriage look uncomfortable. I heard that it took me a long time to finally feel better. At this time, she was already sweating profusely.

Biying felt distressed when she saw it, and muttered in a low voice: "It's not that the girl never eats spicy food, why..."

Qiu Feishan sternly stared back at what he hadn't finished speaking. Biying immediately shut her mouth and didn't dare to say more.

Qiu Feishan recalled the table of dishes just now, smiled and shook her head, "She really is a smart woman. I saw her right."

As she spoke, she took out a maple-leaf-shaped sapphire skirt with dark green tassels from her bosom and handed it to Biying.

"You go and give this to Princess Zhongshun, and say it's a gift in return for her hospitality."

Biying looked at the jade tablet and opened her mouth in astonishment. But I know that the girl doesn't like her talking too much. She had no choice but to swallow all her curiosity, and dared not ask a single word. She found a brocade box from the small cabinet in the car and put the jade plaque in it, then got out of the carriage and went straight to the Qin residence.

Qin Yining had already returned to the Sydney Courtyard, and a little girl came back outside, saying that someone from Qiu Feishan's side had come to ask to see her.

Qin Yining dressed neatly and went to the front hall to meet Biying.

Biying saluted respectfully,

Offered the bright red brocade box with both hands, "Princess, this is sent to you by my girl, thank you for your hospitality today."

Qin Yining smiled and said: "Your girl is too polite, please forgive me for the poor hospitality. Bingtang." Looking back at Bingtang.

Bingtang immediately went forward, took the brocade box from Biying with both hands, and gave her a pouch as a present.

There were a dozen or so silver locks in the purse, which were heavy to hand.

Qin Yining smiled and said, "It's not worth anything, let's go play."

Biying saluted and thanked Qin Yining, and retreated with her purse in her hand, and Qin Yining asked Xianyun to send her out in person.

After the person left, Qin Yining opened the brocade box.

On the big red velvet cloth, a maple-leaf-shaped sapphire tablet the size of a chicken egg exudes soft light, and the dark green tassels decorated with white jade beads form an arc, wrapping the sapphire maple leaf. The word "autumn" is particularly conspicuous.

Qin Yining took out the jade tablet and straightened the tassel with the tassel.

"This jade pressed skirt is really unique." Bingtang praised, "The shape of the maple leaf is not easy to describe. If you are not careful, it is easy to have flaws in the details, but this pressed skirt is very delicate, and the jade quality is also high. Think about her. I really want to express my gratitude to the princess.”

Qin Yining looked at the jade tablet in his hand thoughtfully, checked it carefully over and over again, then nodded slowly and said: "You are right."

But in his heart, he was guessing what Qiu Feishan wanted to give her.

If it was a return gift after the banquet, Qiu Feishan could have invited the couple back, so that they would have more opportunities to get in touch with Pang Xiao.

But Qiu Feishan wasn't sure.

Putting the jade token back into the box and keeping it close to her body, Qin Yining quickly walked towards the Sydney courtyard. She can't figure it out now, maybe after discussing with Pang Xiao, she will have an idea.

Just when Qin Yining was puzzled, Yu Chiyan and Gu Shixiong were sitting opposite each other in the side hall in the old capital palace at the same time, and only a palace lantern was lit in front of them.

The dim orange candlelight was swayed by the occasional wind blowing in, making the scene even more gloomy.

"I don't believe it. That woman lives in Yang's house, and she is obviously a relative of the prefect of Yang. Didn't our people have inquired about it before, and it was confirmed that she was the niece of the prefect of Yang. How could she have anything to do with Stone?" ?”

Seeing that Yu Chiyan was so determined, Gu Shixiong was somewhat puzzled.

However, after observing during this period of time, and the fact that the shopkeeper of Stone went to the barracks to meet Pang Xiao, although the other party did not reveal his identity, anyone with a discerning eye could guess at once that the person who took over at the home of the magistrate Yang Miss Cousin may indeed be the shopkeeper that Mr. Liu mentioned.

The reason why Yu Chiyan refused to believe it was because it was difficult for him to accept the fact that there was another strange woman in the world. Qin Yining is like that, and now there is another shopkeeper Qiu, they still prefer Pang Xiao.

This made Yu Chiyan, who had always been upset, how could he bear it.

"If she is really the treasurer of Stone, and she took the initiative to go to the Qin residence, wouldn't it mean that their relationship is already very good?"

How could Yu Chiyan not hate the support she most expected to get for a long time, but to watch the opportunity fall on Pang Zhixi's head again?

Gu Shixiong persuaded: "The prince calms down, and there is no need to be angry about such a small matter. We have more important things to do at this time."
