"She may also mislead us and eat something even though she doesn't eat anything." Qin Yining recalled the process of getting along with Qiu Feishan, and shook her head, "She is a smart person, and she is not as easy to deal with as her former opponent. ."
Ji Yun hesitated for a moment, then smiled: "Princess, the servants are stupid and do not understand the intention of the princess. Since she knows that the shopkeeper Qiu Da can see through it at a glance, it is possible to deliberately eat dishes that she does not like, why does the princess want to eat it? Use this method to test her whereabouts?"
Qin Yining slowed down and said in a low voice, "I always feel that this Qiu girl has an unusual background. Although Sitong has a great foundation, she is still a businessman no matter how big she is. The nobleness of Qiubu's mother is related to what I see today. , she is by no means a woman raised by a wealthy businessman. Listening to her accent, she speaks standard Mandarin without a hint of local accent, and she is not raised by an ordinary family... Although she calculated the prince, she did not look at her. Calculations only look at the outcome of things, but it creates a win-win situation."
Walking to the Chaoshou Veranda, Qin Yining pulled Jiyun, Xianyun, and Bingtang to sit next to the beauty, using the weak light of the lantern to illuminate, and said, "I have never seen the kind of person who has to fight to the death from her. At the end, of course, it is also possible that she hid deep, I looked away, but I always feel that the confrontation between her Sitong number and the Pingnan Army is more than that, there must be other things we don't know. thing."
Several maids nodded.
Qin Yining added: "So, today's banquet is not just to determine where she is from the taste, but to get a signal from her. If she is hostile, she will definitely give false news, just like the prince going to Guinan. If she is not an enemy, she may take this opportunity to send me a signal, what is the matter with the Sitong number, maybe the answer lies in the land of Shu.”
Several maids nodded again.
Ji Yun suddenly said: "It turns out that the princess didn't use this to test her origin in the first place."
Qin Yining smiled and nodded.
Just as Qin Yining and the maids were talking under the veranda, Qiu Feishan also took the maids into the carriage, and the guards who had not followed into the mansion immediately surrounded the carriage in a well-trained manner.
As soon as she entered the carriage and the curtain was pulled down, Qiu Feishan hurriedly grabbed the water bladder and gave it a few mouthfuls. Hearing it, it took me a while to finally feel better. By this time she was sweating profusely.
Biying looked distressed and muttered softly, "It's not that girl never eats spicy food, why..."
Qiu Feishan glared back sternly before she finished speaking. Biying immediately closed her mouth and did not dare to say more.
Qiu Feishan remembered the table of dishes just now, smiled and shook her head: "She is really a smart woman. I didn't see her wrong."
As he spoke, he took out a maple leaf-shaped sapphire skirt with dark green tassels from his arms and handed it to Biying.
"You go and give this to Princess Zhongshun, saying it's a return gift to thank her for her hospitality."
Biying looked at the jade card and opened her mouth in astonishment. But I know the girl doesn't like her talking too much. She had to swallow all her curiosity and didn't dare to ask a word. She found a brocade box from the small cabinet in the car and put the jade card in it, then got off the carriage and went straight to Qin Mansion.
Qin Yining had already returned to the Sydney Courtyard, and there was a little girl talking back and forth outside, saying that someone around Qiu Feishan had come to see her.
Qin Yining dressed neatly and went to the front hall to meet Biying.
Biying saluted respectfully and offered the red brocade box with both hands, "Princess, this is what my girl asked to bring to you, thank you for your hospitality today."
Qin Yining said with a smile: "Your girl is too polite. Please forgive me for the inappropriate reception. Bingtang." Looking back at Bingtang.
Bingtang immediately stepped forward, took the brocade box in Biying's hands with both hands, and gave her a purse.
In the purse were a dozen or so silver clasps, which were heavy.
Qin Yining smiled and said, "It's not worth anything, then go play."
Biying saluted and thanked Qin Yining, and walked back with her purse. Qin Yining asked Xianyun to send the person out in person.
When the people left, Qin Yining opened the brocade box.
On the big red velvet cloth, the maple leaf-shaped sapphire plaque the size of a chicken egg exudes a soft light, and the dark green tassel adorned with white jade beads forms an arc, wrapping the sapphire maple leaf. The word "Autumn" is particularly conspicuous.
Qin Yining took out the jade token and took care of the tassels with Zhuangzi.
"This jade skirt is unique." Bingtang praised, "The shape of the maple leaf is not easy to describe, if you are not careful, the details are prone to defects, but this skirt is very delicate, and the quality of the jade is also excellent. I want to come to her. I really want to express my gratitude to the princess.”
Qin Yining looked at the jade card in his hand thoughtfully, checked it over and over again, and then nodded slowly, "You are right."
But in her heart, she was guessing the intention of Qiu Feishan to give her this thing.
If it is a return gift after the banquet, Qiu Feishan can invite their husband and wife back, so that there will be more opportunities to contact Pang Xiao.
But Qiu Feishan was not sure.
Putting the jade card back into the box, Qin Yining walked quickly to the Sydney Courtyard. She can't figure it out now, maybe after discussing it with Pang Xiao, she will have a look.
Just when Qin Yining was in doubt, Yuchiyan and Gu Shixiong sat 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 candle light was swayed by the occasional wind blowing in, making this scene even more gloomy.
"I don't believe that the woman lives in Yang's mansion. She is obviously a relative of Yang Zhi's mansion. Haven't our people already inquired about it before, and it is certain that she is the niece of Yang Zhi's mansion. How could she have anything to do with the Sitong number? ?"
Gu Shixiong was somewhat puzzled when he saw that Yuchi Yan was so determined.
However, after these days of observation, and after the fact that the shopkeeper of the Sitong number went to the barracks to meet with Pang Xiao, although the other party did not clearly identify his identity, a discerning person could immediately guess that the person who received him was staying at Yang Zhifu's house. It is indeed possible that the young lady at the table is the big shopkeeper in Mr. Liu's mouth.
The reason why Yuchiyan 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 was like that, and now there's another shopkeeper in Qiu, and they are all partial to Pang Xiao.
This made Yuchi Yan, who had always been upset, how could she bear it.
"If she is really the big shopkeeper of the Sitong number, and she takes the initiative to go to the Qin mansion, doesn't it mean that their relationship is already very good?"
The most hoped-for support is not available for a long time, but she wants to watch the opportunity fall on Pang Zhixi's head again. How can Yuchiyan not hate it in her heart
Gu Shixiong persuaded: "Your lord calm down, you don't need to be angry about such a trivial matter. We have more important things to do at this time."
