Li Shi also smiled and asked: "Yes, Xi'er, why did Princess Duanyi from the Jin Palace ask you to appreciate the plum blossoms? Look at the post to see when you will go, and whether you have brought any sisters with you.

of!"

The bright eyes of the people in the room moved from the post to Qin Xi's face.

Lin Ruyu tightened her handkerchief. It couldn't have been Brother Huan who asked Princess Duanyi to make an appointment, right?

Qin Xi dared to seduce Brother Huan, she tore her apart!

Qin Xi replied calmly: "I don't know, I don't know."

I have no intention of reading the post at all!

Everyone was choked by Qin Xi's hiding attitude!

Qin Xia stopped asking any more questions.

What's so great about it?

Ruyu is the future serious sister-in-law of Princess Duanyi. I don’t know how many times I have received Princess Duanyi’s posts!

Now maybe there is a post about Princess Duanyi in the mansion!

When the time comes, Qin Xi should not ask Ruyu to take her with him.

But Mrs. Li was thinking about letting her daughter walk around with Qin Xi for more than two days, coaxing Qin Xi to take her to enjoy the plum blossoms.

Mr. Qin thought about asking his son privately: "Xi'er, what are your concerns about the menu and list?"

His tone and attitude were much better than usual. He was asking about his considerations rather than what was going on!

Qin Xi said calmly: "I made this decision for my uncle's sake."

Li was dumbfounded and blurted out without realizing it: "Are you kidding me?"

Was this shabby menu and banquet list full of merchants decided after consideration for her husband?

Because Ding You returned to his hometown as the current doctor of the Ministry of Works, the position of doctor of the Ministry of Works was vacant.

She originally wanted to take advantage of the old man's birthday to have a banquet with the Minister of Industry, the Third Master of Prince Jin's Mansion, and others, so as to win over her husband and get promoted!

She crossed out all the officials above. Didn't this cut off her husband's official career?

Are you talking about thinking about your husband?

Are you thinking about it?

Gu thought that Fu had lost his second wife, so she disliked Qin Xi and Fu very much. She said angrily: "What are you thinking about for your uncle? What do you know?"

This granddaughter was completely spoiled by her mother, even though she knew she was a merchant, she didn't work hard to make progress!

It doesn’t last long to learn anything, and I don’t know anything about piano, chess, calligraphy or painting!

Nothing but a skin!

Mrs. Li came back to her senses and asked with a smile, "Xi'er said it was for your uncle's sake. What did you mean?"

Qin Xi: "My uncle has always been honest as an official, but the dishes ordered by my aunt, are they affordable for my uncle's salary? Abalone ginseng wing belly, bear's paw, Buddha jumping over the wall, fish lips, monkey brain... I'm afraid the uncle will

You can’t afford a birthday banquet like that with a salary of 20 years, right?”

Li: "......"

What's the meaning?

Didn't this money come from their second wife? What happened to Mr. Guan?

The money for the couple's birthday banquet always comes from their second wife.

With so much money for a second house, it will take a few lifetimes to spend it all, is it still so short?

Qin Xi looked at Mr. Qin again and said calmly: "If word of this dish spreads, the censor may think that the uncle is corrupt and accepting bribes!"

Mr. Qin’s expression changed!

Li: "......"

Mr. Qin: "Xi'er is still thoughtful, but in this banquet list, why did Xi'er cross out those noble people?"

His tone became a little gentler.

Qin Xi chuckled: "Grandpa, what do you think the court is most afraid of? Collusion between officials and businessmen, forming cliques for private gain!"

Mr. Qin’s expression changed drastically!

Li frowned: "How can this be? It can't be so serious! Everyone knows that the second house of the Qin family is a merchant, and our aunt married into the Changchun uncle's house, and the cousin was engaged to the Jin prince's house. Besides, most of the officials are

Your uncle's Shangguan, there is nothing wrong with relatives having some interactions at birthday banquets."

Qin Xia also thought that during the birthday banquet, she would show Xiao Jinhuan how rich the Qin family was and how much help it could give him, so she said: "It's just the in-laws and the subordinates of the superior officials walking around. It doesn't count as collusion between officials and businessmen, forming parties for personal gain."

Qin Xi said calmly: "I heard that there is a vacancy for the position of doctor in the Ministry of Industry? At this time, it is great for uncle to entertain so many people on the peak?"

Mr. Qin’s face changed drastically!

Qin Xi is right. The purpose of hosting a banquet is too obvious now. If he is impeached by the imperial censor, the gain will outweigh the loss!

You must know that although Langzhong of the Ministry of Industry is only of the sixth grade, many children from aristocratic families are watching!

But the boss is now a member of the Ministry of Industry, so it is natural for him to be promoted!

Mr. Qin made the final decision: "That's it for the guest list! Keep everything simple for the birthday banquet!"

Li: "......"

Qin Xi added: "All expenses for this birthday banquet will be divided among the three families."

Mr. Li was dumbfounded?

Does such a small amount of money need to be divided?

Li looked at Qin Tingtao, was he embarrassed?

Qin Tingtao and Mrs. Fu have always only obeyed their daughter, and would not contradict her daughter in front of outsiders. Besides, Qin Xi was right to do so, so they let their daughter make the decision.

Qin Xi looked at Mrs. Li and added lightly: "In case the censor impeaches the uncle for being unfilial, what do you think of the uncle?"

Li: "..."

What does she think?!

She doesn't think so!

She thinks it’s time to get married!

But can this be said?

She finally felt Qin Xia's frustration just now!

Mr. Qin: "Divide the three houses between us!"

At this critical moment, the boss must not make the slightest mistake.

The seventh to sixth grade is a watershed!

The seventh rank is just a sesame official, but the sixth rank is not.

The boss can be promoted to the sixth rank, and in the future he can be promoted to the fifth or fourth rank!

Even higher!

Li's flesh ached, and she said with a stiff smile: "That's right!"

According to the dishes on the menu that Qin Xi ordered, each table would cost at least a hundred taels. For ten tables, it would cost over a thousand taels!

If divided among three households, each household would need at least 500 taels!

Li's Pork hurts even more when I think about it: Are the dishes on the menu too rich?

The fish that Qin Xi that damn girl ordered was mandarin fish, and it was a tribute!

Can it be replaced by cheaper ordinary carp?

Now that the menu has been settled, Qin Xi stood up and said with a blessing: "If there is no problem with the menu and the list, then grandpa, grandma, I will go back to Xiyanyuan first."

After saying that, he walked away without even looking at Qin Xia and her daughter.

Qin Xia didn't expect her to leave immediately, so she hurriedly said: "Wait, Xi'er! Today at noon..."

Qin Xi looked back with a smile but not a smile: "I left early today at noon. Could it be that cousin Ruyu forgot to bring her purse again and didn't have any money to pay? Do you need me to pay?"

Qin Xia choked!

How can anyone speak so straightforwardly without leaving any face to others?

She asked, do you still have the nerve to ask her for money?

Lin Ruyu blushed: "How is that possible! Why does my cousin miss me so much?"

Qin Xi smiled: "Don't worry, I didn't think about it! Do you want me to pay for it?"

You are such a person, why should I think about it?

Lin Ruyu: "..."
