Qi Ning left the palace and went back to his residence. Jinyihou's residence had already received the news, and Gu Qinghan was waiting in the hall.
Arriving in the hall, Qining was a little surprised when he saw Mrs. Tian talking to Gu Qinghan, but he immediately thought that when Mrs. Tian left Beijing, Tian Fu moved to the Hou Mansion and worked as an apprentice next to Tang Nuo. Mrs. Tian returned home. Naturally, he wanted to take Tian Fu back.
When the two of them saw Qi Ning entering the room, they both stood up. Mrs. Tian saluted gracefully without any flaws. When Gu Qinghan saw Mrs. Tian present, he naturally behaved very solemnly and said: "Ning'er, you have worked hard along the way. Dinner has been prepared for you. My wife is coming to take Miss Tian back, and I am forcing her to eat here."
After not seeing each other for a long time, Gu Qinghan still looked charming and charming. Qining smiled and said: "Of course I want to keep my wife to eat with me. Sanniang, I asked them to send the gifts back first. There are gifts specially brought back for you. You are welcome." Saw it."
Gu Qinghan knew that Mrs. Tian was here, and she was afraid that Mrs. Tian would notice if Qining showed too much intimacy to her, so she wrote lightly: "I've already seen it. Do you want to eat first or wash up first?"
Qi Ning smiled and said: "We can't let Madam wait here, let's eat first!"
Gu Qinghan went over to hold Mrs. Tian's hand and said with a smile: "Madam is going to be wronged tonight, so let's make do with it here. You guys came back late. Miss Tian and the others have already had dinner, so they won't eat with us. Come, please come this way."
The lady said politely: "I'm sorry to trouble the third lady again."
Gu Qinghan had already taken Mrs. Tian's hand to the back hall and asked as he walked: "Madam, can you still adapt to the climate there when you go to the East China Sea? I heard that the humidity there is very heavy and it rains often."
Mrs. Tian said: "The humidity is not light, but it hasn't rained much while we were in the East China Sea. Third Madam, if you have time, you can also go to the East China Sea and have a look...!"
The two of them walked to the back hall talking and laughing, leaving Qining alone. Qining sighed, shrugged, and followed.
It was already dusk when the team returning from the East China Sea arrived in the capital, and Qi Ning entered the palace again to meet the saint. After all this trouble, it was already late and the Hou Mansion was quiet.
When you reach the back hall, you turn to the dining room on your left.
The Jinyi Hou Mansion has an honorable status, and this Hou Mansion naturally has the rules of the Hou Mansion. There is a place to practice, and there is also a place to eat.
Not everyone can come in to this dining room. It is usually the place where the Marquis and his family dine. Because the population of the Marquis' mansion is not prosperous, the dining room is not spacious. There are only two tables in it, one round and one square.
The square table is where the men of the Hou Mansion eat, and the round table is where the female family members eat. In fact, Qining seldom dines in the Hou Mansion, and the square table is rarely used.
Qi Ning naturally knew the rules of the Hou Mansion. When he saw that Gu Qinghan had invited Mrs. Tian to sit down at the round table, he hesitated for a moment, then moved closer and smiled at Gu Qinghan: "Sanniang, it's just a casual meal. I don't think it's necessary. Opening two tables is too much of a waste, why don't I just make do with this table as well."
Gu Qinghan frowned and said: "How can that be done? The Marquis Mansion has the rules of the Marquis Mansion. You are a man and you cannot sit here."
Qi Ning sighed: "Rules are dead, people are alive, and that's it for this time. Two tables of food will definitely be wasted later. In fact, you don't know that this time when I went to the East China Sea, I saw many people begging along the way. I feel very ashamed in my heart to make a living. I will save as much as I can in the future." Mrs. Xiang Tian said: "Madam, you have seen it too, right?"
Mrs. Tian didn't know what Qin Ning had in mind. At this time, she could only follow his words, nodded slightly and said, "That's what the Marquis said."
Gu Qinghan hesitated for a moment and then said: "It's just this one time, it won't be the same next time."
Qi Ning sat down happily. The three of them sat on each side, forming a triangle shape. At this time, the servants had already brought the wine and food. Since Mrs. Tian was left to eat here tonight, the dinner was naturally quite rich, with six dishes and one meal. For soup, Gu Qinghan specially prepared wine with a lighter taste.
After the servant filled the glasses for the three of them, Qining waved his hand and said, "You guys can go down first."
When the servant went down, Qining took the cup and said to Gu Qinghan: "Sanniang, thank you for preparing this table of delicious food for me when I come back. I'll toast you."
Gu Qinghan said: "Do you think I am preparing it for you? My wife is staying today to let her taste the craftsmanship of the Marquis." But he still took the glass and took the wine and took a sip.
Mrs. Tian also held a cup and said: "Master Marquis, Third Madam, Fu'er has been taken care of by the Marquis during these days when I have been away from Beijing. Thank you very much. I propose a toast to you."
Gu Qinghan smiled and said: "Madam, please don't say that. Miss Tian is talented and intelligent, and Miss Tang has excellent medical skills. Although you have only been away for a few months, Miss Tian has already learned a lot. A few days ago, Miss Tang even praised Tian to me." The girl has a bright future.”
Mrs. Tian said in surprise: "Seriously? Then... that's really great."
Gu Qinghan said: "I heard that Madam is going to the East China Sea to set up a medicine shop there. Is everything going well?"
Mrs. Tian said hurriedly: "With the Marquis taking care of me, everything is going smoothly. After returning to Beijing, we will make some preparations and send people there."
Qi Ning interjected: "Madam, you're welcome. Madam has also taken care of a lot over there in the East China Sea. I also want to thank you."
When Mrs. Tian heard this, her heart tightened, thinking to herself that I said you could take care of me, but you said I couldn't take care of you. She and Qining already had an affair, but she didn't dare to reveal such a relationship to the outside. , so some words that I didn’t care about in the past have become very sensitive now.
She knew that women's senses were extremely sensitive, and Gu Qinghan was an extremely shrewd woman. If any clues were revealed, she would be suspected, so she was always cautious.
She immediately responded: "Actually, I didn't do anything. The Marquis has given me too much praise."
Qi Ning smiled and said: "What I mean is that intestinal tract disease is common in Donghai. Madam's elixir is sent there, and it will be able to relieve many people's illnesses in the future. Naturally, it will take care of Donghai and relieve the worries of the court."
Mrs. Tian then breathed a sigh of relief, and Gu Qinghan said: "Ning'er is right. Madam's good deeds have immeasurable merit."
At this time, Madam Qi Ning suddenly came closer with one leg and rubbed against her own leg. Although summer has passed, the weather has not turned cold yet. The clothes Madam was wearing were still relatively thin. When Qi Ning touched her, she immediately tightened her legs. Spirit, thinking that this little bastard is really brave, to be dishonest in this situation, with a calm face, he gently moved his legs away, but Qi Ning still followed him.
Madam did not dare to move her body too much, so she could only lower her head to eat, playing hide and seek with Qining with one leg under the table.
Gu Qinghan chewed lightly, and suddenly she felt a leg touching her. She was startled, knowing that Qining was dishonest. She glanced at Qining and saw that Qining was eating seriously, and her heart suddenly itched with hatred. Yes, I thought to myself that this kid started touching me before his butt was hot when he came back. It would be fine if there was no one else, but now that there are guests present, he doesn't even know how to restrain himself.
Qi Ning touched Mrs. Tian's leg at first. He really didn't do it intentionally. He just wanted to open it and relax it, but he accidentally touched Mrs. Tian's leg. It was not good for him to tease Mrs. Tian in this situation. But Mrs. Tian immediately dodged, and he clearly felt that she was getting nervous. He suddenly became naughty and deliberately wanted to tease Mrs. Tian, and deliberately entangled her with one leg under the table.
Under the light, Mrs. Tian was certainly beautiful and charming, and Gu Qinghan was even more charming. Qining couldn't help but stretch out his other leg and go to Gu Qinghan.
He is a martial arts practitioner and has nimble feet. Naturally, neither Gu Qinghan nor Mrs. Tian can avoid it. They are entangled by him under the table, but they cannot show their whereabouts. Both women lower their heads to eat, but their cheeks are slightly red, but they are not able to avoid it. Unexpectedly, Qining was so bold that he was not only teasing himself, but also teasing another person.
Qi Ning came back from the East China Sea and was quite tired on the way. At this time, he did feel relaxed. He felt that such silent teasing was much more exciting than cuddling.
Gu Qinghan was a little annoyed when one of his beautiful legs was entangled by Qin Ning. Seeing Qin Ning's calm and serious look, he suddenly felt a little angry. He coughed and said: "By the way, the Ximen Shenhou of Shenhou Mansion sent someone a few days ago. Come here, you delayed your wedding last time because of the emperor's mission. We have agreed with the Ximen family that after you come back from the emperor's mission, you will choose a later date to get married. Since you are back, you can ask the third old man to go to Ximen tomorrow. Family, please set a date as soon as possible and get married as soon as possible."
Qi Ning was originally enjoying it, but when he heard Gu Qinghan's words, he was stunned for a moment. He thought that he and Ximen Zhanying were still engaged. He went to the East China Sea to delay the wedding. He really felt sorry for them. Naturally, he came back this time. I wanted to give the Ximen family an explanation. It was not good to continue teasing me at this time. I pulled back my legs and said, "Just follow Sanniang's arrangements in everything."
Mrs. Tian heard that Qining was about to get married. She didn't know why, but she felt a little disappointed. But she also thought that Qining was a dignified Marquis of Jinyi and was marrying the daughter of the Marquis of Ximen. She was a perfect match, so what reason did she have to make a mistake? She forced a smile and said to Qining: "Master Hou, are you getting married? Congratulations on that. I'll bring you a small gift later."
Although Mrs. Tian felt disappointed, she was a person who had seen the world after all, and her emotions were controlled extremely well without any flaws.
Qining knew in his heart that Mrs. Tian and he had a physical relationship. As long as she was a woman, she would always feel uncomfortable when she heard that she was married to another woman. At this time, it was not easy to comfort Gu Qinghan seriously, so she could only say: "Then... Thank you in advance, madam."
Mrs. Tian stood up and said: "Third Madam, Lord Marquis, I'm full. It's getting late. I'll take Fu'er back first and come back to bother you another day."
Gu Qinghan stood up and said, "Madam, are you ready to eat now? Then I will take you out."
Mrs. Tian said hurriedly: "No, no, the third lady is too polite. I know the way myself. The Marquis and the third lady will eat first."
Gu Qinghan nodded slightly, called a maid, and ordered to lead Mrs. Tian down. When Mrs. Tian left, Gu Qinghan glared at Qining, raised her eyebrows, and scolded: "You are so bold, if she saw her just now, What should we do?"
