Chapter 726: Banquet (2)
Governor Yang was slightly stunned when he heard this, and he couldn't help laughing: "The girl understands it, but I think too much." ”
Qiu Feishan smiled and shook her head slightly, didn't say anything more, only picked up the pen and wrote a reply.
Qin Yining got accurate information here, so he went to the kitchen and asked the cook to prepare for tomorrow's banquet.
The cook listened to Qin Yining's whisper and said in surprise: "Princess, this ......"
Qin Yining smiled, "You just have to do it, it's not much." If there is anything you can't reach, tell me, and I will command someone to help you. You just need to do your best to get the food right, and you'll be rewarded in the future. ”
"Yes!" The cook was overjoyed and took the servants and maids under the kitchen to salute Qin Yining.
This is still Qin Yining's return to the old capital, the first banquet in the Qin Mansion, the servants and maids in the mansion and the kitchen errand are all in the spirit of 120,000 points, from the time he got the order, the mother-in-law in charge of the purchase began to be busy with preparations, and thought about collecting all kinds of vegetables, meat and seasonings early.
Qin Yining returned to the room, and Jiyun asked puzzledly: "The princess entertained her with so many good dishes, will she be too elevated?" ”
Qin Yining shook his head and said gently: "We don't know what her background is, but with the financial resources of the four numbers, she must have seen a lot of good things." If you want to have a banquet, please order it, so as not to get used to it. And ......"
Qin Yining's tone paused slightly, and he lowered his voice with a smile: "I'm not just for this. ”
Jiyun had already come back to his senses at this time, nodded and said, "The princess is so resourceful. ”
Qin Yining smiled and said, "You have also learned to be poor." It's not a good plan for me, but I can't figure it out. It's fate. ”
Qin Yining was holding his chin and looking out the window, accompanied by the rain in the old capital in spring, which had already wet the new green leaves of several pots of bonsai under the corridor.
I don't know if this time will work.
The most important thing is to find out Qiu Feishan's attitude.
The next day, it was a beautiful day.
The kitchen was busy early in the morning, and Qin Yining went to check it out.
In the afternoon, when the little guy guarding the intersection was rushing back and forth, Qin Yining and Cao Yuqing were playing chess on the first floor of Shuorenzhai.
"I've 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 handful of sunspots back into the chess basket, covered her mouth and yawned lazily: "Listening to what you just said, she should also be a not simple woman, and she probably sees that your banquet has ulterior motives." ”
"Yes, I have all that thought on the table, and with her cleverness, she must have typed several drafts." He stood up and straightened his clothes, "Let's continue when we're done, don't clean up the chessboard." ”
Cao Yuqing smiled and teased her: "Got it!" Don't go quickly, don't make your distinguished guest wait for a long time, go back to the barracks in private to see your man's black accusation against you. ”
Qin Yining paused, knowing that Cao Yuqing was reminding her to take precautions, and couldn't help but smile and said: "Knowing that Aunt Cao cares about me, don't worry, I'm not a soft persimmon to be bullied." ”
Cao Yuqing couldn't help laughing when she saw her confident appearance.
Qin Yining led someone to greet him in person, and the ordinary flat-headed carriage also happened to lift the curtain.
Qiu Feishan, who was dressed in a brocade robe with white arrow sleeves, got out of the car with the support of the maidservant, showing elegance and nobility with her gestures, and when she raised her head, the two looked at each other, and they both smiled first.
Qiu Feishan stepped forward and saluted first, "Thank you for the princess's kindness." ”
"You don't have to be so polite, with the relationship between our two families, this is all as it should be."
She was talking about the relationship between Sitong and the Pingnan Army.
And the scene of reaching the current balance between Sitong and the Pingnan Army is not pleasant, and the business of the old capital Sitong is about to close down.
Qiu Feishan secretly said that this princess is really not a good person, and also smiled and said: "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 didn't post, the little woman would have to find an opportunity to come and visit, and she would definitely repay the grace of protection. ”
Qiu Feishan's meaning is obvious, how the Pingnan Army protects the Sitong, everyone knows that she is a threat in disguise.
The two exchanged words, but they didn't show any unhappiness, nor did they say a dirty word, and at the same time, they had already passed a move with a smile on their faces, and the Biying brought by the god who listened to the gods were all frightened, thinking that today's banquet was really not simple.
All the way to the banquet guest flower hall, it is obvious that this place has been re-cleaned and decorated, the floor is covered with a thick carpet of flowers, one of the black lacquered long tables has been filled with cups, plates and dishes, the dishes are sumptuous and complete, not like an ordinary banquet, but like the pomp and circumstance of the queen mother and queen in the palace.
"Shopkeeper Qiuda, please take a seat."
"Princess, please."
The two humbly sat opposite each other at each end of the long table. The handmaidens stood behind each other.
Qin Yining instructed that the song and dance could begin.
Taking advantage of the time when the musicians were preparing and the dancing girls were entering, Qiu Feishan looked at the various delicacies in the exquisite dishes on the table, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help twitching.
The princess was so hospitable, and the little woman was flattered. The 'capital' cook from the princess's house is really a genius. ”
Where is this cook from the capital? It's clear that you got a cook from all over the world, right?
Where couldn't Qin Yining hear the sarcasm in her words? However, her face still did not change, and she nodded in agreement: "Yes, I have always felt that his craftsmanship is good, and he can be praised by the shopkeeper of Qiuda, which proves his talent, and the princess will definitely give him a monthly increase in money." As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to signal Qiu Feishan not to be polite, "Qiu Da's shopkeeper, please feel free, don't be polite." ”
The table is too big, and there are too many dishes, so it must not be possible to pick up the dishes by herself, so Qiu Feishan simply and generously called the maid to arrange the dishes for her. Bi Ying is well-trained, and she knows what Qiu Feishan wants to eat with a glance.
The same was true for Qin Yining's side, Jiyun followed and served, and from time to time lowered his eyes and quietly looked at the situation on Qiu Feishan's side with the corner of his eye.
Qin Yining was eating leisurely, paying attention to the girls who were dancing. But she inadvertently paid attention to Qiu Feishan's taste.
Qiu Feishan is particularly spicy, her spicy lips are red and the tip of her nose is sweaty, and she still grabs the index finger of those few Shu dishes to eat.
Qin Yining didn't say much, and waited until the two of them had a meal, served tea, and talked about the scenery of the capital, the scenery of various places, and the local customs of the old capital.
I have to say that Qiu Feishan is an extremely knowledgeable person, and when she chats with her, she can say something no matter what she talks about. And the two of them no longer spoke sharply, and when they put aside their positions, they found that they were actually quite talkative.
When it was getting dark, Qiu Feishan got up to say goodbye, and Qin Yining personally sent people to Yimen before turning back.
Jiyun said in a low voice: "Princess, the taste of the shopkeeper in that autumn looks like a person from Shudi. ”
Qin Yining said lightly: "It may not be so. ”
