Hearing this, Magistrate Yang was slightly startled, and then he couldn't help but smile, "Miss, you can see it clearly. I was thinking too much."
Qiu Feishan smiled and shook her head gently. She didn't say anything else and just wrote a reply.
After Qin Yining got the accurate information, he went to the kitchen and told the cook to prepare tomorrow's banquet.
When the cook heard Qin Yining's whisper, she said in surprise, "Wangfei, this …"
Qin Yining smiled, "Just do it. It's not much. If there's something you can't do, just tell me. I'll ask someone to help you. You just need to do your best to make the dishes, and you'll be rewarded later. "
"Yes!" The cook was overjoyed. She led the servants in the kitchen to salute Qin Yining.
This was the first time Qin Yining invited guests to a banquet in Qin Manor after returning to the old capital. All the servants and kitchen staff in the manor were on high alert. After receiving the order, the biddy in charge of purchasing began to prepare. She had already thought of ways to collect all kinds of vegetables, meat, and seasonings.
After Qin Yining returned to his room, Ji Yun asked in confusion, "Wangfei, aren't you thinking too highly of her by treating her with so many good dishes?"
Qin Yining shook his head and said gently, "We don't know what her background is, but with her financial resources, she must have seen a lot of good things. If you want to treat her to a banquet, you should treat her to something good, so that shopkeeper Qiu won't be used to it. Moreover … "
Qin Yining paused for a moment, then he smiled and said in a low voice, "I didn't do it just for this."
Ji Yun came back to her senses at this time. She nodded and said, "Wangfei is so resourceful."
Qin Yining laughed, "You've learned to be talkative. This isn't a good plan. It's just that I don't know how to do it. It's all up to fate. "
Qin Yining propped up his chin and looked out of the window. The spring rain in the old capital was abundant, and it had wet the green leaves of the bonsai plants in the corridor.
He didn't know if his method would work this time.
The most important thing was to test Qiu Feishan's attitude.
The next day, the weather was good, and it was a sunny day.
The kitchen was busy in full swing early in the morning. During this time, Qin Yining went to check.
In the afternoon, Qin Yining was playing chess with Cao Yuqing on the first floor of the Master's House when the servant who was guarding the intersection rushed back to report.
"I saw the carriage come.."
Qin Yining put down a white chess piece and said with a smile, "She came on time."
Cao Yuqing casually threw a small handful of black pieces back into the Go basket, covered her mouth and yawned lazily. "According to what you said just now, she should not be a simple woman. She probably also saw the ulterior motive of your banquet."
"That's right. My thoughts are all on the table. With her intelligence, she must have come up with several plans." He stood up and straightened his clothes. "Let's continue after we're done. Don't clean up the chessboard."
Cao Yuqing smiled and said, "I know! Hurry up and go. Don't let your guest wait too long. Go back to the barracks and tell your man about you in private. "
Qin Yining stopped. She knew Cao Yuqing was reminding her to be on guard. She couldn't help but laugh: "I know Aunt Cao cares about me. Don't worry, I'm not a soft persimmon."
Cao Yuqing looked at her confident appearance and couldn't help laughing.
Qin Yining led her people to the door to welcome them personally. At the same time, the curtain of the ordinary flattop carriage was lifted.
Qiu Feishan, who was wearing a white robe, got off the carriage with the help of a maid. Her movements were elegant and noble. When she raised her head, the two looked at each other and smiled.
Qiu Feishan bowed first, "Thank you for your hospitality."
"You don't have to be so polite. Based on the relationship between our two families, this is what I should do."
She was talking about the relationship between Si Tong and the army.
Si Tong and the army had reached a balance. The process was not pleasant. The business of Si Tong in the old capital was almost closed down by Pang Xiao.
Qiu Fei Shan secretly thought that this Princess really wasn't someone who was easy to get along with, so she smiled and said, "That's exactly the case. Thanks to His Highness leading the soldiers to guard this place, ordinary people like us can live a good life. Even if wang fei didn't send an invitation, this little girl will find a chance to visit. I must repay the kindness of protecting me. "
Qiu Feishan's meaning was clear. How did the army protect Si Tong? Everyone knew. She was threatening them in disguise.
The two people exchanged words, but they didn't show the slightest displeasure. They didn't say a word. At the same time, they had a smile on their face. Listening to this, Bing Tang, Ji Yun, and Biying, who was brought by Qiu Feishan, were shocked. Today's banquet was really not simple.
They went all the way to the banquet hall. It was obvious that this place had been cleaned and renovated. The floor was covered with a thick carpet of flowers. In the middle, a long black table was filled with cups and plates. The dishes were rich and complete. It didn't look like an ordinary banquet, but more like the Empress Dowager and Empress in the palace.
"Shopkeeper Qiu, please take a seat."
"Wang fei, please."
The two people modestly sat at both ends of the long table. The maids stood behind each other.
Qin Yining ordered the singing and dancing to begin.
While the musicians were preparing and the dancers were entering, Qiu Feishan looked at the exquisite dishes on the table. The corner of her mouth couldn't help but twitch.
"Wang fei is so hospitable, this little girl is flattered. The 'capital' chef from wang fei's family is really a genius. "
How is this a chef from the capital? Isn't this clearly a chef from all over the country?
How could Qin Yining not hear the sarcasm in her words? However, her expression didn't change as she nodded in agreement, "That's right, I always thought that his craftsmanship was good. Being able to receive praise from shopkeeper Qiu proves his talent. Later, this princess will definitely give him a raise." As she said this, she reached out her hand to indicate that Qiu Feishan didn't need to be polite, "Shopkeeper Qiu, please don't be polite."
The table was too big, and there were too many dishes. It was impossible for her to take the food herself. Qiu Feishan simply ordered the maids to take the food for her. Biying was well-trained. With just a glance, she knew what Qiu Feishan wanted to eat.
Qin Yining's side was the same. Ji Yun was serving at the side. From time to time, she would lower her eyes and secretly look at Qiu Feishan's side.
Qin Yining leisurely ate the food, her attention was on the dancing girls. But she was inadvertently paying attention to Qiu Feishan's taste.
Qiu Feishan was particularly fond of spicy food. Her lips were bright red and the tip of her nose was sweaty. But she still grabbed the Shu dishes and ate them.
Qin Yining didn't speak much. After the two finished eating, tea was served. They talked about the scenery of the capital, the scenery of various places, and the local customs of the old capital.
It had to be said that Qiu Feishan was an extremely knowledgeable person. When chatting with her, no matter what they talked about, she could speak with substance. Moreover, the two didn't talk much. When they put aside their standpoints, they found that they actually got along quite well.
When the sky gradually darkened, Qiu Feishan got up and said her goodbyes. Qin Yining personally saw her off to the Yi Sect before returning.
Ji Yun whispered: "Wang fei, that shopkeeper Qiu's taste is similar to that of people from Shu."
