Qin Hexuan suddenly stopped when he heard the sound, looked around, but did not see Qingtian.

Song Tao, the servant behind him, asked in confusion, "Young Master, are we going back?"

"Did you hear anyone calling me?" Qin Hexuan asked.

"Ah?" Song Tao was startled and looked around hurriedly, but apart from clusters of chrysanthemums, there was no human figure anywhere!

Song Tao rubbed his arms in fear and begged for mercy, "Young Master, please don't scare me. We are the only two here, master and servant. How could anyone call you? Could it be some rumor?"

"Did I hear it wrong?" Qin Hexuan was also a little uncertain. The main reason was that Qingtian should be with the Ye family in Rongxi Village at this time. How could he come here?

Thinking of this, Qin Hexuan also felt that he was hallucinating. He reached out and stroked the Jing Baleng hanging on his waist, and then prepared to go back with Song Tao.

The location here is too remote. Not to mention the guests, even the servants who used to be in the corners and hidden places can't be seen.

Just as the master and servant turned to leave, a very clear voice suddenly rang out: "Brother Qin!"

This time, not only Qin Hexuan heard it, but Song Tao also heard it.

Song Tao was so frightened that he fell to the ground: "Female ghost?"

Qin Hexuan was even more certain that it was Qingtian, and asked hurriedly, "Qingtian, where are you? Why can't I see you?"

"Brother Qin, I'm here! I'm inside this door!" Qingtian raised his voice and shouted.

After arriving at the garden, Mrs. Ye had been busy with a few kitchen helpers since last night. Naturally, she couldn't be idle this morning, so she put the things that needed to be stewed in advance into the pot early.

There are still so many vegetables that need to be washed, cut, etc.

Because there were many guests this time, several people were very busy.

Even Mrs. Ye would join in and help when she wasn't cooking.

So she naturally wouldn't let Boss Ye sit idle, and had already called people to help with the fire.

She also specifically reminded Qingtian: "Dad and Mom are busy, why don't you play in the yard by yourself?

"You absolutely cannot leave this yard, do you hear me?"

"I understand, Mom." Qingtian responded and took the tangram to play on the stone table in the yard.

After playing for a while, Qingtian felt a little bored, but seeing that the adults in the kitchen were still busy, she went to find some fun to play in the yard.

Later, she heard someone passing by outside the door, so she leaned over to look out through the crack in the door. Unexpectedly, she saw Qin Hexuan and couldn't help shouting.

Qin Hexuan followed the sound to the door and said, "Qingtian, can you see if the door is bolted?"

"No." Qingtian said after looking up.

"Well, then, step back and don't stick to the door. Be careful that I open the door and hit you."

Qingtian took several steps back as he was told, then asked, "Brother Qin, is that enough?"

"That's enough."

Qin Hexuan was about to push the door open when Song Tao quickly ran forward and said, "Young Master, please stand aside. I'll be right there."

It’s just pushing the gate, and those who don’t know would think it’s a difficult task!

After Song Tao pushed open the gate, Qin Hexuan could see Qingtian standing not far away, smiling brightly at him.

Looking at her little face that was tanned by the sun and the beads of sweat on her forehead, Qin Hexuan walked up to her, took her hand, and sat down in a shady place. He took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat off her face.

Song Tao was stunned. He was not the one who always followed Qin Hexuan. Instead, Mrs. Qin arranged for him to work by his side after she brought Qin Hexuan back from her parents' home.

Although they had not been together for a long time, Song Tao could already see the alienation behind Qin Hexuan's usual politeness.

This is the first time I've seen him be so gentle to someone else.

But seeing that she was a cute little girl, she was indeed quite likable.

"People talk about the autumn heat. Although the weather is cooler now, the sun is still very strong. Don't stay in the sun all the time. Be careful not to get sunburned."

"Brother Qin, why are you here?" Qingtian asked.

"I came here with my mother." Qin Hexuan then asked Qingtian the same question, "Why are you here? Who did you come with?"

"I came with my parents and Third Aunt." Qingtian counted on his fingers to show Qin Hexuan, "The four of us came together."

"Are you also here to attend the flower viewing banquet?" Qin Hexuan asked this, but he knew in his heart that this was impossible, so he talked to Qingtian while looking at the situation in the yard.

The person who led the way before said that guests from the capital all stayed in the east and west courtyards, and the courtyard where Qingtian was located was actually in the garden.

Could it be that Boss Ye, Sister Ye Da and Sister Ye San found temporary work and came here to work as servants?

But it doesn't seem like it. Who can be a servant and take care of children?

He was just wondering when he heard Qingtian say, "Mom is here to cook, and Third Aunt is here to help her. Dad should have been playing with me, but Mom said she was too busy today, so she asked him to help light the fire in the back, so I'm playing here by myself."

Qin Hexuan nodded after hearing this, and now everything made sense.

"My mother and Mr. Wei both praised your mother's cooking skills before. After returning home to the capital, Mr. Wei would occasionally think of the dishes your mother cooked and said that your mother would become a famous chef sooner or later. I didn't expect that she would come here to cook now."

You know, because the Princess of Rui was attending this flower viewing banquet, all the female relatives of the high-ranking officials and dignitaries in the capital came as long as they received the invitation.
