Chapter 176 Except for his daughter, everyone else has eight hundred hearts
Ji Mingxuan was really not polite to him and said: "In this case, this is not considered bullying."
"That's nature, that's nature..."
Qi Yuan nodded repeatedly, kneeling on the ground and not daring to get up.
Ji Mingxuan continued: "You have been an official for many years and have given up several opportunities for promotion. I know what you are afraid of. You just want to live a stable life, but you should understand that you are not the only one in your family.
Just because you are living a good life does not mean that your daughter and the rest of your family will be able to live in peace. If your daughter continues to be undisciplined, your family will be affected sooner or later. Today is for the sake of celebrating her birthday. I don’t want to
I argue with her, but if there is a next time... you should know that I don’t mind getting a little more blood on my hands."
"Thank you for your kindness, sir. I will definitely discipline my family well and never let them do wrong things again!"
Qi Yuan kowtowed heavily, his limbs were extremely sore, and his clothes were almost soaked with sweat from his back.
Fortunately, he reacted quickly and asked Caiyun to take his daughter away. Otherwise, this person would have really made his daughter's blood splatter on the spot.
As a father, he couldn't find any fault with the other party. After all, it was his daughter who was blind and took the initiative to get involved.
"Okay, since I said I won't pursue this matter this time, it's over."
Hearing this, Qi Yuan breathed a sigh of relief. Just when he thought it was finally over, Ji Mingxuan said again: "On your daughter's birthday, you are hosting a banquet for so many wealthy businessmen. Don't tell me that you just want to treat them to a meal."
A meal."
"My lord, please forgive me. I made my own decision..."
When Qi Yuan heard this, he started kowtowing loudly again. He really wanted to die.
Why am I so unlucky? I have never done these things before. I just want to have peace of mind and live a stable life.
But it was the first time I did this kind of thing, and I still wanted to do something practical for the people, but I was caught by Ji Mingxuan before he even started. Even though his whole body was covered with mouths, he couldn't explain all these twists and turns, because
He felt that Ji Mingxuan would not believe it.
But whether you believe it or not, you still have to say what you need to say. He explained tremblingly: "Your Excellency, I have a clear understanding. I just want the merchants and wealthy people to raise some money to build some roads for the common people.
It is convenient for people to enter the city... I have no intention of corruption when I am a low-ranking official! Your Excellency, you are aware of this!"
I finally didn't stutter on the last sentence, and felt inexplicably happy.
Fu Yuan couldn't help but grin, this Qi Yuan is really a talent.
Ji Mingxuan was a little irritated: "If I ask you something, just answer it properly. Why are you kowtowing? Get up and talk."
"Yes Yes!"
Qi Yuan got up quickly. Even though his limbs were sore and weak, he still forced himself to stand upright.
Ji Mingxuan said: "I think your method is good. It is indeed advisable to use the money of these merchants to help the people, but we must also consider who is worthy and who is not worthy. The money should be spent on what is really needed."
Qi Yuan nodded repeatedly, but he didn't expect that Ji Mingxuan was not angry.
Ji Mingxuan added: "This road really needs to be repaired. After those mountain roads are built, people will dare to come to the county town more and drive the development of the city. Especially the road from Changshui Village to the county town is very difficult to walk, so we should focus on repairing it."
"Yes, Xiaguan will be the first to build the road to Changshui Village!"
Although he didn't know what the relationship between Changshui Village and Ji Mingxuan was, it was not something he should ask about. He just had to accept it. Anyway, Changshui Village was also under his jurisdiction, so if he cultivated it, he would follow his original intention.
"In addition, this Miss Zhao has good skills and I like her very much. If she intends to come to the city to develop in the future, please take more care of her."
"Yes, I understand that I will not let Miss Zhao be bullied!"
Qi Yuan sighed in his heart, being able to be mentioned again and again by the King of Hell, this girl Zhao is considered to be well-off.
When I think about my idiot-like daughter, I feel so distressed that I can't even breathe.
After Ji Mingxuan had finished saying what he wanted to say, he didn't want to delay any more, so he stood up and left. Qi Yuan nervously sent him out again. Seeing the people getting on the carriage and leaving, he exhaled heavily.
It’s over!
But he did not sit idle, but went to Zhao Huanyu himself and said a few words: "Miss Zhao, thank you very much for organizing a banquet for my family Jiaxin today. This is your reward. Please don't take it too little."
As he said that, he handed over a silver note of one hundred taels.
He is just a small county magistrate, his annual salary is not very high, and he has not embezzled anything in recent years. His money is really tight, and it is not easy to come up with a hundred taels.
"You're welcome, sir. This is what a daughter of the people should do."
Zhao Huanyu smiled and didn't answer, and said directly: "I'm not afraid of your lord's blame. In fact, the daughter of the common people wants to do business. She came to the house to get acquainted with the masters, so that it will be more convenient when doing business in the future. This can be regarded as borrowing your lord's favor. This money,
Folk girls cannot be accepted."
Qi Yuan was stunned for a moment, feeling as if everyone except his daughter had eight hundred thoughts!
The little girl in front of him is not even as old as his daughter, but she can plan so carefully, which is really admirable.
Ji Mingxuan must have heard about her intentions in advance, so he specifically asked him to take more care of her in the future.
What about building roads in Changshui Village?
After thinking for a while, he asked: "I wonder where Miss Zhao is from?"
Zhao Huanyu didn't even think about it and said: "The girl is from Changshui Village."
Sure enough! He guessed it right!
Qi Yuan was shocked that Ji Mingxuan would do so much for a peasant girl. If it weren't for her young age and dark skin, he must have misunderstood something.
However, this also proved that Ji Mingxuan valued Zhao Huanyu, so he said: "If you encounter difficulties in the future, just come to me. If nothing else, I can still make the decision in Zhengfeng County."
Zhao Huanyu guessed that this must be Ji Mingxuan's handiwork, and responded with a smile: "Thank you, sir."
In the end, Zhao Huanyu still confiscated the money. For her now, this one hundred taels is nothing, but it can be exchanged for Qi Yuan's favor, which is worth it!
After that, Qi Yuan went to talk to the businessmen and wealthy people about fundraising, while Zhao Huanyu packed up and prepared to go back.
As for today's protagonist Qi Jiaxin, she just woke up after being knocked unconscious by Caiyun with a stick. When she woke up, it was already late and she exploded instantly.
"Colorful clouds!"
She got up angrily and slapped Caiyun without saying a word.
Caiyun is the maid arranged by her mother to be by her side. She has grown up with her. The two of them have a very close relationship on weekdays, just like biological sisters.
But today, Qi Jiaxin was so angry that she couldn't hold it back.
She cried: "Do you know how long I have been preparing for today? I only have one chance, why do you do this to me? He came to my birthday party and he clearly meant for me. Why should you stop him?"
Me? Where are others? I want to find him!"
After saying that, he actually ran outside and bumped into Qi Yuan who came in.
