"She may also mislead us by not eating anything but going to eat something." Qin Yining thought back to the process when she got along with Qiu Feishan, and couldn't help but shake her head and said, "She is a smart person, and she is not as easy to deal with as her previous opponents. ”

Jiyun hesitated for a moment after hearing this, and said with a smile: "Princess, the slave maid is dull and doesn't understand the princess's intentions. Since she knew that the shopkeeper of Qiu Da could see through it at a glance, and it was possible that she might deliberately eat dishes she didn't like, why did the princess use this method to test her path? ”

Qin Yining slowed down and said in a low voice: "I always feel that the origin of this autumn girl is not ordinary, although the foundation of the Sitong number is big, but no matter how big it is, she is also a businessman. Listening to the accent, she speaks a standard official dialect, without a trace of the country's accent, and she is not raised by ordinary people...... Although she calculated the prince, she didn't look at her calculations, but only looked at the outcome of the matter, which caused a win-win situation. ”

Walking to the verandah, Qin Yining pulled Jiyun, Xianyun, and Bingtang to sit in the beauty, and through the faint light of the lantern, he said: "I haven't seen the kind of end that has to fight to the death from her, of course, it may be that she is hiding deeply, I looked away, but I always feel that the confrontation between her Sitong and the Pingnan Army is not only meaningful here, there must be other things we don't know." ”

Several of the maidservants nodded.

Qin Yining said again: "Therefore, today's banquet is not simply to determine where she is from the taste, but to ask for a signal from her." If she is hostile, she must give a false news, just like the prince went to Guinan, and he will know the truth when he arrives at the place, if she is not an enemy, she may take this opportunity to release a signal to me, what is the matter with the Sitong number, maybe the answer is in Shudi. ”

A few of the servants nodded again.

Jiyun said suddenly: "It turns out that the princess didn't want to test her from this in the first place." ”

Qin Yining smiled and bowed his head.

Just as Qin Yining was talking with the maidservants under the verandah, Qiu Feishan also took the maidservants into the carriage, and the guards who did not follow into the mansion just now immediately surrounded the carriage with well-trained training.

As soon as she entered the carriage, as soon as she lowered the curtain, Qiu Feishan hurriedly grabbed the water bladder and poured a few mouthfuls, stretched out her tongue and sighed, and fanned with her hands, and held a bad image for people outside the carriage to hear, and it took a while to finally feel better. By this time, she was already sweating profusely.

Bi Ying looked distressed, and muttered in a low voice: "The girl never eats spicy food, why ......"

The unfinished words were stared back by Qiu Feishan sternly. Bi Ying immediately closed her mouth and didn't dare to say more.

Qiu Feishan remembered the table of dishes just now, shook her head with a smile, and said, "It's really a smart woman." I wasn't wrong about her. ”

As he spoke, he took out a maple leaf-shaped green jade pressure skirt decorated with dark green tassels from his arms and handed it to Bi Ying.

"You went and gave this to the Prince and Princess Zhongshun, saying that it was a return gift to thank her for her hospitality."

Bi Ying looked at the jade card and opened her mouth in shock. But I knew that the girl didn't like her talking. She had to swallow all her curiosity, didn't dare to ask a word, found a brocade box from the small cabinet in the car, loaded the jade plate, and got out of the carriage and went straight to the Qin Mansion.

Qin Yining had already returned to Sydney Courtyard here, and there was a little girl talking back and forth outside, saying that the people around Qiu Feishan had come to ask to see her.

Qin Yining dressed neatly and went to the front hall to see Bi Ying.

Bi Ying saluted respectfully, and presented the red brocade box with both hands, "Princess, this is what my girl asked me to send to you, thank you for your hospitality today." ”

Qin Yining smiled and said, "Your girl is too polite, if the hospitality is not considerate, please bear with your girl." Rock candy. "Look back at the rock candy.

Bingtang immediately stepped forward, took the brocade box in Biying's hand with both hands, and gave her a purse.

There were more than a dozen silver bills in the purse, and they were heavy.

Qin Yining smiled: "It's not worth anything, then go play." ”

Bi Ying saluted and thanked Qin Yining, and retreated with her purse, and Qin Yining asked Xianyun to personally send people out.

When the people left, Qin Yining opened the brocade box.

On the big red flannel, the maple leaf-shaped green jade plate the size of a chicken egg exudes a soft light, and the tassel of dark green decorated with white jade beads is coiled into an arc, wrapping the green jade maple leaf, and the light shines under the maple leaf, and the word "autumn" engraved on the maple leaf is particularly conspicuous.

Qin Yining took out the jade card and straightened the tassel with the ornament.

"This jade pressure skirt is chic." Bingtang praised, "The shape of the maple leaf is not easy to depict, if you are not careful, the details are prone to flaws, but this pressure skirt is very exquisite, and the jade quality is also excellent, I think she is really grateful to the princess." ”

Qin Yining looked at the jade plate in his hand thoughtfully, and carefully checked it over and over again, before slowly nodding and saying, "What you said is reasonable." ”

It's just that in her heart, she is guessing Qiu Feishan's intention to give her this thing.

If it is said to be a return gift after the banquet, Qiu Feishan can invite them back as husband and wife, so that there will be more opportunities to contact with Xiao Xiao.

But Qiu Feishan didn't grasp it.

Putting the jade card back in the box and carrying it closely, Qin Yining walked quickly towards Sydney Courtyard. She can't figure it out now, maybe she will have an eyebrow after discussing it with Xiao Xiao.

Just when Qin Yining was puzzled, in the palace of the old capital at the same time, Yu Chiyan and Gu Shixiong sat opposite each other in the side hall, and only one palace lamp was lit in front of them.

The dim orange candlelight was swayed by the occasional blowing in the wind, making the scene more and more gloomy.

"I don't believe it, that woman has lived in Yang Mansion for a long time, and she is obviously a relative of Yang Governor's Mansion, haven't our people already inquired before, and are sure that it is Yang Governor's niece, how can she have anything to do with Sitong?"

Gu Shixiong saw that Yu Chiyan was so sure, and he had some doubts in his heart.

However, after the observation of these days, and after the previous big shopkeeper of Sitong went to the barracks to see Xiao Xiao, although the other party did not accurately identify himself, a discerning person can guess at once that the Miss Biao who lived in Yang Zhifu's house may indeed be the big shopkeeper in Mr. Liu's mouth.

The reason why Wei Chiyan 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 is like that, and now there is another Qiu big shopkeeper, and they are all biased.

This makes Wei Chiyan, who has always been unhappy, how can she stand 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 expected support has not been in hand for a long time, and I want to watch the opportunity fall on Xiao Zhixi's head again, where can Yu Chiyan not hate it in her heart?

Gu Shixiong persuaded: "The prince is angry, and there is no need to be angry about such a small matter. We have more important things to do at this time. ”
