Yang Zhifu was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, and then he couldn't help laughing clearly: "The girl understands, but I think too much."
Qiu Feishan smiled and shook her head lightly. She didn't say any more, just picked up a pen and wrote a reply.
Qin Yining got the accurate news 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, let me know, and I'll ask someone to help you. You just need to do your best to make the dishes, and you will be rewarded later."
"Yes!" The cook was overjoyed, and brought her servants and servants to salute Qin Yining.
This is Qin Yining's return to the old capital. It is the first time that Qin Yining has entertained guests. The servants and servants in the house and the kitchen clerks are all in high spirits. Once ordered, the woman in charge of shopping has been busy. Get ready, and think early to collect all kinds of vegetables, meat, and seasonings.
Qin Yining went back to the room, and Ji Yuncai asked in confusion, "Will the princess treat her with so many good dishes, will she be too flattering?"
Qin Yining shook his head and said gently, "We don't know what her background is. With the financial resources of Sitong, she must have seen a lot of good things. If you want a banquet, please order some good things, so that the shopkeeper Qiu can't be used to it. …”
Qin Yining paused for a moment, then smiled and lowered her voice: "It's not just what I'm doing."
Ji Yun had come to think about it at this time, nodded and said, "Princess is very resourceful."
Qin Yining laughed and said, "You have also learned to be sloppy. This is not a good strategy for me, but there is no way to hold it back. It depends on fate."
Qin Yining held his chin and looked out the window. In the spring, the old capital was full of rain, which had already wet the fresh green leaves of a few potted bonsais 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 sunny day.
The kitchen was busy in the early morning, during which Qin Yining went to check it out.
In the afternoon, Qin Yining was playing chess with Cao Yuqing on the first-floor corridor of Shuo Ren Zhai when the servant at the intersection was running back and forth.
"I have seen the carriage coming."
Qin Yining put down a white child and said with a smile, "She came on time."
Cao Yuqing casually threw a small handful of sunspots back into the chess basket, and yawned lazily, "From what you just said, she must be a not-so-simple woman, and you probably see that your banquet has ulterior motives."
"Yeah, all my thoughts are on the table, she must have made several drafts with her intelligence." She stood up and straightened her clothes, "Let's continue when we're done, don't clean up the chessboard. "
Cao Yuqing shoved her away with a smile: "I see! Hurry up, don't ask your distinguished guests to wait for a long time, and go back to the military camp in private to see the black state your man sued you."
Qin Yining paused, knowing that Cao Yuqing was reminding her to take precautions, she couldn't help but smile: "Know that Aunt Cao cares about me, don't worry, I'm not a soft persimmon who is bullied by others."
Seeing her confident appearance, Cao Yuqing couldn't help laughing.
Qin Yining led someone to meet the door in person, and the ordinary flat-headed carriage just happened to lift the curtain.
Qiu Feishan, who was wearing a robe with white teeth and arrow sleeves, got out of the car with the help of her maid. She showed grace and nobility with her gestures. When she raised her head, the two of them looked at each other and smiled at first.
Qiu Feishan stepped forward and saluted, "Thank you, Princess, for your kindness."
"You don't have to be so polite. Based on the relationship between our two families, this should be all right."
She was talking about the relationship between Sitong and the Pingnan Army.
As for the current balance between Sitonghao and Pingnan Army, the process was not pleasant. The business of the old capital Sitonghao was almost closed by Pang Xiao.
Qiu Feishan secretly thought that this princess is really not a good friend, and smiled: "That's right, and thanks to the prince leading the soldiers to guard here, we ordinary people have a good life. Even if the princess does not have a good life. Post a post, the little girl is also looking for an opportunity to see her, and she must repay the grace of shelter."
Qiu Feishan's meaning is obvious. Everyone knows how the Pingnan Army protects the Sitong number. She is a threat in disguise.
The two exchanged words, but they didn't show any unhappiness, and they didn't say a dirty word. At the same time, they had already passed a trick with a smile on their faces. The Bingtang, Jiyun and Biying brought by Qiu Feishan were all for a while. My heart skipped a beat, thinking that today's banquet is really not easy.
All the way to the flower hall of the banquet, it is obvious that it has been cleaned and decorated. The floor is covered with a thick carpet of flowers. One of the long black lacquer tables has been filled with cups, dishes and dishes. The dishes are rich and complete, not unusual. The banquet was like the pomp of the empress dowager and queen in the palace.
"Boss Qiu, please come to the table."
"Princess please."
The two of them humbly, and the guests and the host sat opposite each other at both ends of the long table. The maids stood behind each other.
Qin Yining ordered the singing and dancing to start.
Taking advantage of the time when the musicians were preparing and the dancers entered the venue, Qiu Feishan looked at the exquisite dishes on the table, and the corners of her mouth twitched.
"The princess was so hospitable, and the little girl was flattered. This 'Jingcheng' cook from the princess' house is really a genius."
Where is this cook from the capital? Apparently, they got one of the cooks from all over the world, right
How could Qin Yining not hear the irony in her words? But she still didn't change her face, and nodded in agreement: "Yes, I always think that his craftsmanship is good, and he can get the praise of the shopkeeper Qiu, which proves his talent, and the princess will definitely give him a monthly increase in return." As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to signal that Qiu Feishan was not polite, "Qiu Da, please feel free, don't be polite."
The table is too big and there are too many dishes. It is impossible to serve the dishes by yourself. Qiu Feishan simply ordered the maid to prepare the dishes for her. Biying is well-trained, and she knows what Qiu Feishan wants to eat with just one look.
Qin Yining's side was also the same, Ji Yun was serving with him, and from time to time he lowered his eyes and quietly looked at Qiu Feishan's side with the corner of his eyes.
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 addicted to spicy food, her hot lips are red and the tip of her nose is sweating, and she still grabs the forefinger of those Shu dishes.
Qin Yining didn't say much. After the two of them finished eating 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, she can say something about any aspect she talks about. And the two are no longer eloquent, and when they put aside their positions, they find that they can actually talk quite well.
When the sky was getting dark, Qiu Feishan got up to say goodbye, and Qin Yining personally sent the person to the ceremonial gate before turning back.
Ji Yun whispered: "Princess, the taste of the shopkeeper Qiu looks like someone from Shu."
Qin Yining said indifferently: "It may not be the case."
