The commander-in-chief is handsome and charming

After Ling Yun was conferred the title of Marquis, invitations to his door came in like snowflakes.

However, only a few families were invited to the flower viewing banquet.

Shen Qingdai got up early to prepare.

The ladies who received the post arrived as promised.

What Shen Qingdai didn't expect was.

These ladies are very caring.

Maybe he felt that he was too young and was afraid that he wouldn't be able to chat with them.

Each lady is accompanied by her own descendants.

for example,

Sun Changfeng's mother, with his sister.

The lady from Bijie was accompanied by her own daughter-in-law.

So this small banquet was more lively than expected.

The small garden was clean at this moment.

Although the sun is quite strong, the pavilion can just block the scorching sun.

And because it is located outside, you can get some cool breeze.

At this moment, Shen Qingdai's rank is there.

When someone comes, you have to greet her.

Shen Qingdai had a smile on her face and quickly signaled Ling Shuang and the others to help the man up.

"Our Lord doesn't usually like to socialize with others, but there are no outsiders here today."

"Ladies, please take your seats."

After saying this, he looked at the younger generation standing quietly behind his elders.

"Ling Shuang, add chairs for the sisters-in-law and sisters."

She smiled gently, and the ladies relaxed a little.

Wait until Ling Shuang sets up another table.

The atmosphere suddenly became lively.

After all, they are all in the Kyoto circle.

With so many banquets, big and small, it's hard not to get to know each other.

The only people who are a little unfamiliar are probably the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Bi family.

But with Cheng Ruyi's mother there, she soon started chatting enthusiastically with Mrs. Bi.

There is no need for the host Shen Qingdai to deliberately entertain them.

and……

She was indeed too young among all the ladies.

Nodded at Ling Shuang.

Tea and snacks were served quickly, followed by fruits sent from the farm.

"It was sent by the subordinates, so I just eat it for fun."

"Try them all."

Shen Qingdai spoke with a smile, and everyone was very considerate of her.

Mrs. Cheng is the oldest person here.

It is said that she was nearly forty years old when she gave birth to Cheng Ruyi.

He smiled and picked up a piece of dessert.

I had to praise it again.

Then he looked at Shen Qingdai with a smile.

"My kid always chases after Lord Ling and calls him 'big brother'."

"I'll just call you Qingdai out of my arrogance."

As soon as she opened her mouth, everyone looked over.

Shen Qingdai held the teacup and nodded with a smile, "Madam, what are you talking about? It should be so."

She nodded with a smile on her face.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Mrs. Cheng looked around the small garden.

"Since we are all family, let's not restrict each other."

"It's not good for you, a young man, to accompany us all the time."

"Go play with your sister-in-law and sisters from the Bi family."

"We old folks, we can eat and drink here at our leisure."

She said it so directly that the ladies couldn't help but laugh softly.

At their age, they can indeed be Shen Qingdai's mother.

There is really nothing to talk about with a junior like her.

But she is of high rank.

Sitting together, we really have nothing to talk about.

Shen Qingdai: ...

He pursed his lips and smiled, "Then I'll go over there and play for a while."

"If you ladies need anything, just ask the maids to serve you."

After saying that, he stood up and left Ling Xue here.

Then he walked towards the table on the side.

It was her first time hosting a banquet.

I was actually disliked.

But what Mrs. Cheng said makes sense.

She really couldn't get a word in.

It's much better now that I'm here.

Almost all of them are familiar.

Before the wedding, I had met her at various flower-viewing banquets.

"Sister Qingdai." Several little girls stood up and saluted with a smile.

The daughter-in-law of the Bi family bowed to her uncomfortably and said, "Greetings, Madam."

"Sister-in-law, don't be polite. Why don't you just call me by my name?"

Shen Qingdai looked at the daughter-in-law of the Bi family who was dressed in plain clothes.

I thought about what happened to the Bi family father and son in the camp outside Beijing.

He raised his hand to help her up, then sat down beside her.

"What are you talking about?" When she got here, she felt relaxed.

I asked very casually.

The atmosphere at the table paused.

The little girls looked at each other and no one spoke for a while.

Shen Qingdai couldn't help but be stunned.

Is this question so difficult to answer?

He looked at the people at the table suspiciously.

finally,

Sun Changfeng's sister spoke.

"We just said..."

"The sister of the Cheng family went to worship the pilgrim that day, and it seemed..."

"It seems that I met Fang Yao."

After she said this, she quickly added another sentence.

"But we all know that the Fang family has fallen."

"Even if Fang Yao returns to Beijing, she should be with her husband. There is absolutely no reason for her to go to burn incense by herself."

"so……"

"Maybe I saw it wrong."

The girl from the Sun family told half of the story, and the others hurriedly agreed.

"Sister Qingdai, I just went with my mother to burn incense that day, and I just saw you from afar in the crowd..." The little girl from the Cheng family was a concubine's daughter.

A little timid.

At this moment, holding the handkerchief in his hand, he hurriedly explained to Shen Qingdai.

The relationship between the Fang family and Ling Yun is known throughout Kyoto.

It is said that it is completely severed, but how can it be completely severed?

Shen Qingdai saw that the little girls looked anxious.

Mrs. Bi Shao also looked terrified.

He smiled and nodded.

"I heard that she followed her husband to a place outside the capital. I guess Sister Cheng must have made a mistake."

After saying that, he turned around and looked at Ling Shuang.

"Lingshuang, replace the tea that our Marquis brought back."

"It's a good opportunity for everyone to try it today."

She gave the order with a smile, and Ling Shuang responded and went downstairs to prepare.

Shen Qingdai took the initiative to change the subject again.

The atmosphere then returned to normal.

But she took this matter to heart.

The lunch banquet is over.

The ladies and young ladies from each family said goodbye one after another.

Shen Qingdai smiled and escorted the person out.

When I came back, I just felt sore in my back and waist.

You still have to listen to Ling Yun.

It’s better not to hold such flower-viewing banquets.

It's really tiring.

Watching the little maids clean up the mess.

Shen Qingdai led her people all the way back to the main courtyard.

As a result, as soon as I entered the door.

Then he saw Ling Yun lying on the bed.

Her boots were kicked aside casually, her collar was torn open a little, and the folding fan in her hand was fanning herself with a whistling sound.

When he saw Shen Qingdai coming in, he waved to her without changing his posture.

"How can a bunch of women be so talkative?" Ling Yun felt that only when the men got together and drank until they were red in the face could they be particularly talkative.

How come women are so good at chatting?

Shen Qingdai looked at her helplessly.

She walked over cooperatively, and when she reached the bed, Ling Yun pulled her into his arms.

Then he turned over and hugged the person with a smile.

"I heard from Ling Shuang that someone saw Fang Yao?"

Just when Ling Shuang was preparing tea, I reported to her.

"Yeah." Shen Qingdai struggled slightly, but she was held tightly.

So I just gave up.

He let her hold him in his arms, his voice a little confused, "Didn't you say Chao Yang went to investigate something?"

"Accordingly, Fang Yao should be with him."

"Why did you return to Beijing?"

"Could it be that Miss Cheng was mistaken?" Ling Yun raised his hand and pulled off the hairpin on Shen Qingdai's head.

Let the black hair spread out.

I leaned forward and sniffed it gently.

Hehehe, it really smells good.

Shen Qingdai looked at her helplessly. "We grew up in Kyoto. Even if I only got a quick glimpse of her in the crowd, I couldn't have made a mistake."
