Chapter 207: Birthday Gift
In the evening, the tired old man Ji returned home, looking at his tired father, Ji Yanran was extremely distressed. But she also knows that the problem her father is facing now can't be solved by herself and Feng Qingyao.
Seeing the worried looks of his two daughters, Master Ji squeezed out a smile and said, "Don't worry, I'm fine. My father has always held a relatively noble official position, and this time I finally have an opportunity to deal with it for the country and the people, and I can complete my lifelong ambition, you should be happy for me. 」
Feng Qingyao looked at Master Ji and smiled, took out the two invitations sent by Ma Li from his sleeve, handed one to Master Ji and said, "Father-in-law, this is the invitation sent by the Jidong Royal Mansion today. Two days later is the birthday of the king of Jidong, and the king of Jidong sent invitations to invite officials, celebrities, and talents in the capital to the banquet. 」
"Well, I already know about it. This is a rare lively event in the imperial capital, and today the various ministries in the capital have spread all over the city. I thought that my father's official position should also have an invitation. As he spoke, he took the invitation card handed over by Feng Qingyao and prepared to look at it, but found that Feng Qingyao was still holding one in his hand, and asked a little strangely, "Qingyao, why do you still have one in your hand?"
"Oh, this one, this one was for me. Feng Qingyao said lightly.
"For you, for you alone?" said Master Ji with a look of surprise.
"yes, what's wrong?"
"Of course not, there's a big difference. Master Ji said a little frantically.
"The invitation card of the prince of Jidong is a family, and everyone who receives the invitation can bring one or three family members to the banquet. Like the one that my father got for me, it was the highest one, with gilded gold wire drawing, and you could take three family members with it, and the second one was only gilded. You can bring two family members, and you can bring one family member with you at the third class of ironing.
As for the most ordinary invitations, you can only go to the banquet alone.
However, in addition to these three, there is also a separate invitation to someone. For example, the three elders of Taifu, Taibao, and Taiwei, as well as the heads of the Wang, Sun, and Han families, got this kind of invitation. People who have this kind of invitation. You can bring a hundred people to the feast. Of course, there is no way that anyone would bring so many people to a banquet. 」
"Oh, then the one in my hand is the last one you said, father-in-law?" Feng Qingyao shook the invitation card in his hand and said indifferently.
"That's right. This invitation you received is exactly the last one. All of the people who received such invitations were high-ranking and famous people. How could you receive such an invitation?" said Master Ji with an incredulous expression.
Feng Qingyao smiled faintly and shook his head and said, "I don't know how I received this kind of invitation, maybe the palace sent it by mistake. 」
Master Ji's explanation to Feng Qingyao was really a little helpless, how could such an important matter be wrong? But it was also inexplicable for Feng Qingyao to receive an invitation of this level.
Shaking his head, he drove his doubts out of his mind and asked, "Qingyao, what gift are you going to give to the prince of Jidong?"
"I'm afraid I won't be able to pick anything good when I go outside now, so let's pick up a few good gifts from my home storehouse and send them over. Ji Junyan glanced at Feng Qingyao and said.
Although he was a little dissatisfied with Feng Qingyao, Feng Qingyao went to the Jidong Wangfu to congratulate the Jidong King on his birthday, which also represented the face of the Ji Mansion, so naturally he couldn't let Feng Qingyao casually send anything that couldn't be on the table.
"Gifts, just do your heart, why bother too much? What is not a gift? You can buy two catties of longevity peaches casually. Feng Qingyao said indifferently.
"Ugh...... Sending longevity peach? Feng Qingyao, you can say this? Shou peach is such a thing, even if it is a folk old man's national birthday, it cannot be regarded as an officiating ceremony. How can you send such a thing, it's a little too shabby, right?" Ji Junyan said with a surprised expression, obviously dissatisfied with Feng Qingyao's sloppiness.
"Hehe, King Jidong is the younger brother of the current emperor and the son of the queen mother. What kind of treasures are not there? No matter how good the gift you give, can it surpass the treasures of the palace? Since it can't be compared, it is better to be casual. Feng Qingyao said with a light smile.
"That's right, what we send can't be better than the treasures of the palace, but it can't be too shabby after all. Qingyao, you better prepare. It's really not good, let Yan Ran choose two of the treasures hidden in the house for you. After all, what you get is the highest invitation to give you alone, and if the gift is too shabby, it will make people laugh. Not only will you laugh at me, but you will also laugh at my Ji Mansion, and even the prince of Jidong will be laughed at. Master Ji shook his head and said.
Feng Qingyao shrugged his shoulders indifferently and turned to Li Zhiqi and said, "Zhiqi, you go to Fluttershy and buy some jelly. When the time comes, give the king of Jidong a birthday gift. 」
Li Zhiqi agreed, ate the rice in the bowl in two bites, and ran out.
Since following Feng Qingyao, he basically has no idle time. I will go out to buy jelly and have time to go shopping, so I am naturally very happy to go.
"Jelly, what is it?" asked Ji Junyan with a puzzled expression.
Fluttershy's shop is already open. But after all, the time is still short, and the name of jelly has not yet spread. Ji Yanran rarely paid attention to the affairs of the market, so naturally she didn't know.
"A kind of eating. Feng Qingyao replied very simply.
Hearing Feng Qingyao's answer, Ji Yanran couldn't help but get angry, although she didn't send longevity peaches, she still gave them food.
"Hey, everybody's here. 」
Ji Junyan was just about to say something more when Ji Donglou's voice came in.
Everyone turned their heads to look, only to see Ji Donglou walking in with a man and a woman in a majestic manner. The female adults all knew it, it was Miao Miao of Qingranfang, but the other young swordsman with his nostrils facing the sky and a cold and arrogant face didn't know him.
In addition to the family at the dinner table, after all, there is also a little monk with wonderful wishes, Ji Donglou's somewhat frivolous actions naturally displeased Master Ji, put down the chopsticks in his hand and frowned and said, "Donglou, don't you see any guests at home?
For Master Ji, Ji Donglou was still a little scared, and after being reprimanded by Master Ji, Ji Donglou's neck immediately shrank. The original high momentum is also a little lower.
"Uncle, I have been practicing martial arts hard during this time, and my martial arts have improved, so I am happy. 」
"Even if you have made progress in martial arts, you can't be so frivolous. You must know that learning is endless, and the same is true for martial arts. Don't be complacent just because you've made a little progress. If you make a little progress, you will never reach the highest point. Regarding Ji Donglou's explanation, Master Ji obviously disagreed. (To be continued......)
