Everyone has a love for beauty. Even if they were also women, Qin Yining couldn't help but admire the girl a few more times, and the more she looked, 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 and turned her face towards himself, and whispered in her ear, "Look at what others are doing so seriously. ."
Qin Yining said amusingly: "Apart from Aunt Cao, I have never seen such a beautiful woman, so I can't help but take a few more glances."
Pang Xiao snorted softly, "Look at yourself in the mirror and say you've never seen a beautiful woman." The sour tone made Qin Yining laugh.
The carriage stopped, and someone outside pulled the curtain up.
Pang Xiao took a step forward and got out of the car calmly.
As soon as the tall and handsome Pang Xiao came out, the female relatives behind Yang Zhifu glanced at him and lowered their eyes in unison.
Yang Zhifu led a few people to greet him quickly.
Unexpectedly, Pang Xiao didn't go to greet him first, but leaned back into the carriage and personally helped Qin Yining, who was wearing a red arrow sleeve jacket and skirt, a cape with a collar of white fox underarm hair, and a ruby white fox fur lying rabbit embedded in it, to get out of the carriage.
Yang Zhifu had a relationship with Qin Yining that day, but the scene was too chaotic, and Qin Yining also deliberately dressed as usual, so Yang Zhifu did not carefully observe it.
However, when he saw it at this time, he couldn't help but take a few more glances. Prince Zhongshun and the princess are handsome and domineering, and the other is very bright, and their intimacy and warmth are undisguised. They are really an enviable pair. Just looking at the interaction between them, they can't help but feel sincere. smile.
Yang Zhifu is still like this, and the female family members will only be more touched. The prefect's wife and young lady looked at Pang Xiao and Qin Yining with emotion, obviously very curious about them.
Qiu Feishan, who was dressed in men's clothing, had a calm expression on her face, but looked at the two of them calmly with a decent smile.
Qin Yining raised her eyes and met Qiu Feishan's gaze.
Qiu Feishan was obviously stunned for a moment, but she didn't dodge, she smiled and nodded in greeting.
Qin Yining also nodded and greeted her, but she was a little surprised. This girl is dressed in men's clothes, but it seems that she doesn't want to pretend to be a man, she just wears men's clothes freely. She didn't deliberately hide that she was a woman, but she didn't deliberately reveal that she was a man, as if wearing men's clothes was a matter of course. .
Qin Yining was more curious about Qiu Feishan.
Yang Zhifu was already in front of him at this time, "Prince Zhongshun, Wang Fei, the two of you have come to appreciate your face, the humble house is really full of brilliance!"
Pang Xiao returned the salute with a smile: "Mr. Yang is too polite, it was this king and Zhuojing who were disturbing him."
"Where, where, please, the prince and princess." Yang Zhifu stepped aside and made a gesture of invitation.
Pang Xiao also politely followed.
Qin Yining was naturally two steps behind, walking with the prefect's wife and the two girls.
The prefect's wife held Qin Yining's arm affectionately and said with a smile: "When I met the princess for the first time, I felt very friendly and kind, and there was no strange feeling at all."
Qin Yining smiled casually, and said with kindness: "That's right. When I look at the prefect's wife, I also feel very kind. The same is true for the two young ladies."
The two women followed behind the prefect's wife and Qin Yining, and they laughed when they heard the words.
Yang's mansion is not very big. A few people passed through the front hall and bypassed a clean courtyard, and then turned a corner to the warm pavilion for hospitality.
Therefore, Fan did not entertain outsiders, only the two of them gathered together, so after arriving at the Warm Pavilion, everyone sat around a table of the Eight Immortals.
Yang Zhifu asked Pang Xiao and Qin Yining to sit in the first place, and he cupped his hands and smiled politely: "What a negligence. I never had the opportunity to gather with the prince before, such a simple banquet is really negligent."
"Where is it? This king is also very happy to have the opportunity to talk with Yang Zhifu." Pang Xiao didn't seem to mind that Yang Zhifu had turned a blind eye to him before. When he first came to office, Yang Zhifu didn't even show his face.
Yang Zhifu also knows what he has done before, as long as it is personally uncomfortable. To be honest, the civilians were so miserably trapped by Pang Xiao during this time of chaos. If he had followed his original intention, he would never have hoped to have more interactions with Pang Xiao.
But now...
Yang Zhifu laughed and said, "It's the same with Xiaguan. Your lord is shrewd and decisive, and resourceful. Xiaguan has long been looking forward to the opportunity to meet with your lord."
Looking at the female relatives, Yang Zhifu said again: "Prince, princess, Xiaguan is here to introduce you two. This is Xiaguan's wife Yuan Shi."
The prefect's wife stood up and saluted Pang Xiao and Qin Yining: "My concubine is in the Yuan family, and I give the prince and princess your peace."
"No ceremony." Pang Xiao and Qin Yining said in unison.
Yang Zhifu pointed at the girl with a beautiful face and dressed in women's clothing, and said, "This is the only daughter of a lower official."
Miss Yang also saluted immediately.
"Miss Yang is free." Qin Yining smiled and helped her.
Yang Zhifu smiled again: "This is the Qiu Shi from my relative's family. She calls me uncle because of her seniority."
Qiu Feishan stood up and greeted both Pang Xiao and Qin Yining. The ceremony was a woman's, but she didn't look delicate and pretentious at all, but showed grace and ease.
Qin Yining smiled and said, "Miss Qiu is exempt from the ceremony."
Yang Zhifu also explained: "The reason why she wears men's clothes is because their family is in business. She has only one child in their room, so she has to make a big difference, because it is inconvenient to wear women's clothes when walking outside. I have only started wearing men's clothes since I was a child, even if I don't hide that I'm a woman, I'll have a lot less trouble when I walk."
"That's right." Qiu Feishan also smiled, "It made the prince and princess laugh."
Qiu Feishan's beauty was even more amazing with this smile. Her eyebrows are similar to Qin Yining's, they are all slender willow eyebrows, and the slanting arc is not ostentatious, but only adds some heroism to their delicate faces.
Qin Yining felt that this woman was gentle and elegant, and she was a very cultivated person, but she could also clearly feel that this woman was not simple, because her grace and bearing could not be concealed, even the prefect's wife and daughter did not have her That noble air.
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 business Miss Qiu is running?"
Qiu Feishan smiled and said, "Princess Lao asks, my family has been involved in all kinds of business, and I'm not specialized enough, so I can still make a living."
Qin Yining smiled and nodded, knowing that the other party would not speak directly, but only 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 maids in blue gowns filed in and put the exquisite dishes on the table one by one.
Everyone tacitly changed the topic, listening to the song, watching the singing and dancing, eating wine and food, and occasionally chatting about some important topics.
One party came prepared and tried his best to be easy-going, while the other was courteous and flattering, so the two sides had gotten to know each other a lot after a meal.
When the servant brought the tea tray up again, Yang Zhifu picked up the tea bowl and coughed softly.
The prefect's wife immediately dipped the handkerchief on the corner of her lips, got up with a smile and said, "Excuse me." She left the warm pavilion with the prefect's daughter.
The sound of silk 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 going to be serious business.
The prefect's wife had already retired with her daughter, but the Qiu girl stayed in place. She understood that the prefect invited them to come today, perhaps because of this Qiu girl.
The hall was quiet, neither Pang Xiao nor Qin Yining would ask first.
Yang Zhifu smiled and took the wine cup and took a sip, as if nothing had happened, and said slowly: "When my niece came to the old capital last year, did you see a few members of the Pingnan Army when she was walking around? grown ups?"
Qiu Feishan sat upright and elegant, her lips raised, and she nodded with a faint smile: "I have seen it. Not only last year, but I also went there two days ago. The life in the military camp was very hard. It is not easy for the family to defend the country, and to be able to stick to the old capital in such a difficult situation is really a good teaching from Prince Zhongshun.”
Qiu Feishan's words just now revealed two pieces of information.
First, as a person in power who does not know what industry she is, she has the ability to enter and leave the military camp. Moreover, the head coach Pang Xiao didn't even know about her first entry into the military camp, and no one had specially reported to him back and forth, which was enough to see how much energy she had in the family behind her.
The second is the feeling of kindness. The implied meaning in her words seems to be that Ping Nanjun's life is hard and she wants to donate money.
It's just that Qiu Feishan is a shrewd person. She didn't explain it directly, but was waiting for the coach, Pang Xiao, to answer this.
In fact, the Pingnan Army really needs a sum of money now. After all, Pang Xiao just found out that Lu Zhang and Sitonghao owe a lot of money, and since it has been a year, it is time to prepare the wages 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 smiled and said: "Miss Qiu has won the award. As a Pingnan army, you must have the consciousness to protect the people in the south. If you don't have enough food and clothing, you can hone 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 of the God of War really lives up to his reputation, and he has his own way of training troops."
The rejection in Pang Xiao's words was so obvious that even Yang Zhifu could not help but carefully look at Qiu Feishan's face, as if she was afraid that she would be angry.
Pang Xiao didn't care, he just smiled and said: "This king may not be able to do anything else. The method of training troops is indeed the most contacted."
The smile on Qiu Feishan's face was still gentle and courteous, and there was no difference at all.
They talked about the rest, Qiu Feishan didn't take the initiative to bring it up again, and Pang Xiao didn't care much.
When the banquet was over, when Pang Xiao took Qin Yining to leave, Yang Zhifu and Qiu Feishan went to salute together, and Qiu Feishan said: "If the lord has any orders, you can order someone to come to Yangfu to find me, for the sake of Pingnan. I am happy that the army does a good job.”
