Although there are still eight days until the official closing date, as the new year is approaching, the carriages and horses in various mansions are busy purchasing large quantities, and sometimes they have to travel far away to collect supplies in various villages, so the carriages and horses are not enough.
Some female relatives no longer come to study in the pavilion.
Chen Lanqin was thinking that he could only come for two more days at most, so he said goodbye to Shang Fengyi and Qin Jiaoxi in advance.
"We will make an appointment to go out to the poetry appreciation party together on the third day of the new year!"
Shang Fengyi resisted the urge to roll his eyes: "Well, I may not have time, but you can take my future sister-in-law to open her eyes!"
As for her, of course she has to calculate the income at the end of the year and the beginning of the year, and plan the business for the coming year. How can she have so much leisure time to go out?
Shang Fengyi would refuse all the banquets in the Imperial City if he could. If he couldn't refuse, he would show his face and dodge the banquet within a stick of incense.
Therefore, Qin Jiaoxi never saw Shang Fengyi in all the banquets he attended in his memory in his previous life.
In short, if she doesn't want you to meet her, you will probably never meet her in your life.
However, Qin Jiaoxi was not interested in that poetry appreciation party.
"Let's talk about it then. The Prince Regent's Palace may hold some kind of banquet. Maybe you guys come to my house to play!"
Shang Fengyi became interested and nodded repeatedly: "Okay, this is good!"
Anyway, since her brother is not here, she still has to do more for her grandfather and take good care of this future sister-in-law.
So Shang Fengyi went to Sang Lanyun's piano pavilion to practice piano with Qin Jiaoxi. He planned to wait for her to finish practicing before leaving together. By the way, he would take her to check the accounts of several shops in Zhaodu City and secretly teach her something.
.
Chen Lanqin left Shuiqin Pavilion first.
As a result, he was blocked by Peng Jiaren outside the door.
"Is it you?"
Thinking of Peng Jiaren's plot that she didn't tell, and even after they danced and won a reward from the Queen Mother, she became jealous and asked someone to steal their reward and blame Qin Jiaoxi, Chen Lanqin wished he could tear off his lady mask.
Jump up and fight with Peng Jiaren.
"Miss Peng, you actually have the nerve to come to Shuiqin Pavilion?"
However, Peng Jiaren didn't feel that she had done anything wrong.
"If Qin Jiaoxi hadn't plotted against me, do you think I would have left Shuiqin Pavilion?"
Chen Lanqin was stunned: "Qin Jiaoxi plotted against you? Peng Jiaren, are you the first to complain? Who first lied to us and said that his legs and feet were injured and he couldn't dance? But he secretly took Qin to the palace banquet, you know
I know all our previous rehearsals were in vain without you!"
If it weren't for the Queen Mother's guidance and Qin Jiaoxi's talent in changing everyone's dancing postures, they might not even be able to get on stage on the day of the palace banquet!
Peng Jiaren raised her chin: "Qin Jiaoxi was the one who complained first. She obviously made our rehearsal dance more beautiful, but she hid her shortcomings and didn't point out our shortcomings. That's why I danced so hard that I hurt my legs and feet. The imperial doctor said so
Why don't you believe that I really can't dance for half a year? Since I can't dance, is it wrong to want to play the piano at the palace banquet?"
Chen Lanqin: "..."
"Okay, even if you injured your legs and feet, why did you have to bribe the maid to steal our rewards and frame Princess Meng'an?"
Peng Jiaren became even more confident: "Did you see with your own eyes or hear with your own ears that I paid off your maid? Was it me who was behind the scenes as revealed by your maid?"
"Even Qin Jiaoxi didn't provide any evidence to say that I did it. Why do you slander my reputation?"
