But after the words were spoken, he still said bravely: "I will send someone to my hometown immediately to get it. I don't know how many days you can stay in the county. I will try my best to get it as soon as possible."
"Don't be in a hurry. I heard that Ling Qianjin's birthday party is coming soon. I would like to stay and celebrate Ling Qianjin's birthday before leaving."
Qi Jiaxin's birthday party is in seven days. In other words, Ji Mingxuan will have to leave after seven days?
He shouldn't have come all this way just for a painting. So, could it be that he came for his daughter?
But why?
Qi Yuan was suddenly overwhelmed with thoughts and didn't know how to answer. He couldn't understand, but he didn't dare to ask easily.
"Why, Mr. Qi doesn't welcome my master?"
Qi Yuan remained silent for a long time, then Fu Yuan spoke to urge him.
"No, no, no...it's my daughter's honor for you, sir, to attend my daughter's birthday party..."
Qi Yuan began to sweat again on his forehead. He was not sure whether Ji Mingxuan's intentions were good or evil. He was just the apple of his eye, and he was really afraid that he would be harmed by Ji Mingxuan.
If it had been another powerful minister, he would have happily given his daughter away, but the other party was Ji Mingxuan, which was scary.
It's too late to avoid him, so why are you willing to get together?
He was of low power and could not speak much in the court, and his daughter was not very beautiful. Ji Mingxuan came to him not for his power, nor for his daughter's beauty.
So, why?
He couldn't figure it out, so he just knelt on the ground for a long time and didn't dare to get up.
Ji Mingxuan achieved his goal and left with Fu Yuan in a fair and just manner.
When he was going out, he happened to meet Qi Jiaxin looking for Qi Yuan, and the two sides just passed each other.
Qi Jiaxin stopped and stared blankly at the master and servant who had just passed by her.
This young man is so good-looking, why have I never seen him before?
From the looks of it, he must be a noble young master, but when he passed by her, he didn't even look at her.
She thought that although she was not stunningly beautiful, she was not very ugly either, so why could she not catch his eye?
"Miss, let's go."
Caiyun reminded in a low voice, and Qi Jiaxin woke up with a blush and went to her father's study with her head lowered.
"Dad! Dad, why are you kneeling on the ground? What happened?"
After Ji Mingxuan left, Qi Yuan was still kneeling on the ground. His hands and feet were limp and he couldn't stand up at all. He managed to stand up with the help of Qi Jiaxin and Caiyun.
Seeing the sweat on her father's head and face, Qi Jiaxin asked anxiously: "Dad, did something happen? Who was that young master just now?"
As she said that, Qi Jiaxin looked out and saw that the master and servant who had left could no longer be seen, and she felt a little disappointed.
Who is he, and how can he make her father so afraid?
"It's okay, it's okay, it's all official matters and it's not your business to ask about."
After Qi Yuan recovered, he immediately told his daughter: "That person just now is not someone we can afford to offend. You must stay away and you must not offend him. Do you understand?"
But Qi Jiaxin insisted and asked: "Dad, who is he? Dad is an honest official, so why should we be afraid of him?"
"well!"
Qi Yuan sighed heavily: "It's not that I'm an honest official so I'm not afraid of him, it's that I'm afraid of getting into trouble!"
Qi Jiaxin was even more confused. Could it be that he was some kind of plague god?
However, Qi Yuan didn't hide it from her anymore and said: "That is Ji Mingxuan, the chief minister who is most favored by His Majesty and has overwhelming power in the dynasty. If he comes to find dad this time, it probably won't be that simple. If our family is involved with him,
Go on, I don’t know why he died, put away those thoughts that you shouldn’t have and stay away from him.”
His daughter knew very well that she must have been deceived by Ji Mingxuan's deceptive face, so she said ugly things in front of her.
But when Qi Jiaxin heard that he was actually the chief minister of the court, her heart beat faster.
At such a young age, he has become the chief assistant of one person and more than ten thousand people. His future is limitless. Why does daddy say that person is unlucky?
Becoming famous as a young man and holding real power, isn't this what many people pursue throughout their lives?
"Jiaxin, daddy is not joking with you, do you know that?"
Seeing his daughter like this, Qi Yuan was furious. This daughter was good at everything, but she was easily deceived by men.
She believed whatever the men outside said, but as a father, she wouldn't listen to anything he said!
"My daughter knows, dad, don't worry."
Qi Jiaxin nodded repeatedly. As for whether she really listened to it, only she knew.
She felt that her father must be worried that if she found a powerful man, her family would not be able to protect her in the future, so she stopped thinking about it.
But in fact, the moment she saw Ji Mingxuan, her mind had already become active.
"By the way, Dad, I came to you to ask if you can invite some of your friends to go boating on my birthday?"
"no!"
Qi Yuan refused without thinking: "It's okay if this is normal. Master Ji will be there on your birthday. How can you take people out to play casually?"
"He wants to attend my birthday party?"
Qi Jiaxin's tone was full of excitement. Qi Yuan glared at her and said, "It's just a simple meal. You don't have to do anything. You just need to stay safe and don't cause any trouble for me!"
What Qi Yuan wanted to say was that it was best not to show up in front of that person, but seeing his daughter like this was probably impossible. Even if he banned it, she would sneak out.
In order to avoid making a joke at the banquet, it is better to let her appear openly.
"Dad, don't worry. When has your daughter ever gotten into trouble?"
After saying that, the flower flew out like a butterfly. Qi Yuan looked at her cheerful back and sighed helplessly.
Qi Jiaxin returned to her yard and asked Caiyun: "Seeing how my father refused me to contact him, he probably wouldn't take the initiative to invite him to my birthday party. Could it be that he proposed it on his own initiative? Or, he is.
Come for me?"
Caiyun was speechless for this young lady in her family. She sighed and said: "Miss, you should take the master's words to heart. The master will not harm you. The people he tells you not to have contact with are definitely not good people. Miss, please don't do it anymore."
The master is worried, isn’t Li Qingshan’s lesson enough before?”
Caiyun was a maid assigned to her by Qi Jiaxin's mother, and she usually played a more important role in teaching and supervising her. Therefore, she strongly disapproved of the young lady doing things that went against her parents' wishes.
Qi Jiaxin was not happy when she heard that. She felt that Caiyun was not on her side, and said: "Dad is afraid of trouble and doesn't want to get involved in many things. Naturally, he doesn't want me to come into contact with powerful people, but how can I not do my life's important things well?"
Decision? If Mr. Ji is really here for me, why can’t I give it a try? Maybe I can help my father get promoted!"
