Chapter 220: Honored Guest! Jelly?
Ji Yanran thought for a while and said, "Since you are Qiu Xiang's fellow villager and friend, then just stay at home, husband, you have always been the only one by your side, and Fluttershy will stay and serve Qiu Xiang with you." I went to tell my father, and the people in the family must let him know. After all, the father was the head of the family. 」
After speaking, Ji Yanran came to the small courtyard where Mr. and Mrs. Ji lived and told me what had just happened.
As soon as she heard about Fluttershy's origins, Mrs. Ji frowned slightly, and after Ji Yanran finished speaking, she said, "Master, Yanran, this Fluttershy is Qiu Xiang's friend, and people can believe it. But...... Her origins...... If other people know about it, I'm afraid they will laugh at me and talk about the Ji family, which will affect the reputation of my Ji family. 」
Master Ji smiled faintly and said, "It's okay, being able to take poison and resist the bustard means that this Fluttershy girl is very good, and she can be called Bingqing Yujie. Besides, he has already left his nationality and is good, so it doesn't matter what others say. 」
Although Mrs. Ji still has some concerns, Master Ji is the head of the family after all, and when Master Ji says this, Mrs. Ji naturally doesn't say anything anymore.
Ji Yanran also said with a smile, "Mother, I've seen Fluttershy too, she's a very nice girl, and she definitely won't mess around. 」
Master Ji said slightly: "Yanran, tomorrow I have to go to celebrate the birthday of the prince of Jidong, so go back and rest early." 」
....................................................................................
"Qingyao, isn't it a bit rude for you to do this, after all, it's the prince's birthday banquet, and it's a little shabby for you to use food as a birthday gift, isn't it? And you are still a guest invited by the prince alone. 」
The next day. The family got together to prepare to attend the birthday banquet of the prince of Jidong, and when he saw the jelly in Qiu Xiang's hand, Master Ji said helplessly.
"I think that's good, there's nothing rude about it. King Jidong has seen all the treasures he wants, and he doesn't lack anything. Jelly is something he has never seen before, the so-called rare is expensive, and it is just right to use it as a birthday gift. Feng Qingyao said indifferently.
Seeing that Feng Qingyao insisted, Master Ji didn't have anything to do, shook his head and said, "Since that's the case, then let's go." 」
After speaking, Master Ji took Mrs. Ji, Ji Junyan, Ji Yanran, Feng Qingyao, Ji Donglou, Li Zhiqi, Miao Yuan Little Monk, Qiu Xiang, Zhihai Toutuo and a large family to the Jidong Palace.
Although the king of Jidong did not hold any actual position in the court, because the king of Jidong and the current saint of Daqi are brothers of the same mother. The relationship between the two brothers is also very good. In addition, Princess Qingning won the love of the Queen Mother. Therefore, the influence of the king of Jidong in the court is not weak, and there are many people who come to celebrate his birthday at the birthday banquet of the king of Jidong.
By the time Feng Qingyao and a large group of them came, there were already a lot of people in the palace. Gather in twos and threes in the courtyard in front of the Yin'an Hall to chat. There are officials, huge wealth, and of course, many so-called talents who are not quite famous. They chatted with their relatives and friends. There was no one to greet either. It's the same even for second- and third-grade officials. Find a place to chat with your colleagues.
Wang Fusheng, the second head of the palace, stood at the door and greeted him with a smile. It doesn't seem to have a little shelf, so warm and kind to everyone, smiling and greeting everyone who comes to celebrate their birthday.
There are too many people coming to celebrate the birthday of the royal palace. The originally wide road was a little blocked, and Master Ji and the others got out of the carriage and walked over from a distance.
Wang Fusheng saw Master Ji's family coming from a distance, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said something to the people around him, and the people left in a hurry.
When Master Ji came over with a large family, Wang Fusheng smiled at Master Ji and shouted loudly, "Lord Ji of Wenyuan Pavilion has arrived, congratulations...... Gift....... 」
Wang Fusheng, who was originally smiling, took the congratulatory gift list handed over by the housekeeper of the Ji Mansion and was about to recite it aloud, but when he saw what was written on the list, his eyes were as wide as a goldfish, and he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.
As the second housekeeper of the palace and the person who actually manages the huge palace, Wang Fusheng can be said to be well-informed, but what was written on the congratulatory gift list of Master Ji still surprised him.
Wang Fusheng stammered like this, everyone's eyes involuntarily turned around, looking at Master Ji and his party at the door, wanting to know what Master Ji had sent that surprised Wang Fusheng, the second housekeeper of the palace.
Wang Fusheng smiled a little embarrassedly and said to Master Ji, "Master Ji, the villain is rude. 」
After speaking, he shouted loudly: "Lord Ji congratulates the thousand-year-old purple gold ginseng king!"
As soon as Wang Fusheng shouted out this voice, everyone looked at Master Ji in amazement, but they didn't expect Master Ji to let go of such a thing as a gift.
Ginseng can be called the king of medicine, a hundred years of ginseng is a life-saving elixir, five hundred years can almost save most of the seriously injured and seriously ill people, as for the millennium legend of the king of ginseng is even more has the effect of resurrecting the dead. The Purple Gold Ginseng King is the King of Ginseng, which is something that can be met but not sought. If you can get one, you will pass it on as a family heirloom, and you have never heard of it when you take out a pair at a time.
Master Ji himself was also a little in a daze, the birthday gift was prepared by Ji Yanran, and Master Ji actually didn't know what it was. Seeing the surprised eyes of his colleagues in the courtyard, Master Ji was naturally very proud in his heart, and it was not easy to be in the limelight in this scene. However, there is also some pain in my heart, participating in a birthday banquet and giving away such a precious thing, even if Master Ji's Confucianism recuperation has reached the point where he is not moved by foreign objects, he also feels a little toothache.
turned his head and glanced at Feng Qingyao and Ji Yanran, knowing that this thing was definitely taken out by Feng Qingyao. Because he knew very well that there was absolutely no such precious thing at home, he slightly bowed his hand to Wang Fusheng and walked in with Mrs. Ji and Ji Junyan. The head of the Ji Mansion was naturally not qualified to enter, so he handed over the box he was holding in his hand to the people of the palace beside Wang Fusheng and retreated. The people of the palace who took it in his hand looked nervous, and carefully placed it in a separate place, he couldn't afford to pay for the damage of such a valuable thing for eight lifetimes.
Wang Fusheng waited for the three of them to enter, smiled and bowed his hand to Feng Qingyao, took the invitation card and birthday gift list handed over by Feng Qingyao and shouted loudly: "Your guest Feng Qingyao has arrived, birthday gift...... Birthday present...... A pound of jelly. 」
When he read Feng Qingyao's birthday ceremony, Wang Fusheng was a little dazed, he had never heard of what jelly was, and it was still about catties, which made Wang Fusheng a little confused. (To be continued......)
