Chapter 438: I Have a Little Daughter at Home, Still Unmarried
Perhaps noticing Qin Feng’s confusion, Eunuch Li explained, “The Grand Chancellor of the Cabinet has no real power. It’s just that the Emperor appreciates your talent and has given you a title.”
“Although it has no real power, in a sense it can be considered equal to a third-ranking official”.
“With this status, your future visits to the imperial palace will be more convenient.” Eunuch Li added.
Qin Feng understood.
This was a protective shield granted to him by the emperor. With this identity, anyone who thought of causing trouble for him or the Qin family would have to think twice.
After all, in a sense, he had also been labelled by the Emperor!
‘I never thought that proposing the imperial examination system would not only open a path for scholars from humble backgrounds, but also allow me to hold onto the thickest thigh in the world.’ Qin Feng thought to himself.
Secretly pleased, Qin Feng asked, “Eunuch Li, do I have to do anything special?”
As the saying goes, in order to gain something, you have to lose something. Achieving this status would inevitably require some obligations.
Eunuch Li shook his head, “On ordinary days, do what you have to do. If the Emperor summons you, we will come to find you.”
This was unexpected for Qin Feng.
He had thought that he would have to attend court every day like a regular official.
However, this arrangement suited him well. It wouldn’t interfere with his daily cultivation, and he could continue to teach at the Peaceful Academy.
After the imperial decree was announced, Eunuch Li and his entourage left. The Qin family remained immersed in the joy of the imperial decree.
Qin Feng’s father sighed, “I never thought that our Qin family would rise to the rank of Second Assistant General. Fortunately, I haven’t let our ancestors down.”
After hearing this, the Second Mother turned her head and asked, “What does this have to do with you? You stay at home most of the time, and when you do go out, it’s only to spend money recklessly. The Qin family is what it is today, which is obviously due to Feng’er.“
The servants, though unspoken, shared similar sentiments.
Black Charcoal Head and Lan Ningshuang also cast admiring glances at Qin Feng and said, “Young Master is indeed remarkable.”
Qin Feng’s father blushed and coughed, “How can it not be related to me? Madam, haven’t you heard? The imperial decree said that this is all because of my excellent upbringing!”
There was no response to this statement, and the Second Mother shot a direct look of contempt.
At this moment, Qin Feng spoke up, “Father is right. I owe my success to his upbringing.”
“Listen to him!” Qin Feng’s father raised his head proudly.
“But Father, a few days ago, I thought I saw you enter Maple Pavilion. Isn’t that place...” Qin Feng glanced at his Second Mother and his voice stopped abruptly. “It must have been my mistake. Second mother, don’t think too much about it.”
With that, Qin Feng hurriedly left.
The Second Mother said in surprise, “Are all these people here to visit the Master?”
“Is there any doubt?” Qin’s father was about to greet someone when the person passed by and praised Qin Feng, “Isn’t that Master Qin? A truly talented individual. I am the Assistant Minister of Rites, here to congratulate Master Qin on becoming The Grand Chancellor of the Cabinet.” he said.
Qin Feng returned the greeting respectfully. Even though he knew that this person was an opportunist, he had to maintain a facade. One couldn’t afford to make enemies for no reason.
Father Qin’s raised hands seemed to have no place to rest for a moment.
Looking at Second Mother’s strange expression, he coughed and said, “I do not know this person. It’s reasonable for him to come and visit Feng’er because of his admiration.”
“Oh, I recognise that person. He is an official from the Ministry of Personnel. When his father celebrated his birthday, I even brought him a birthday present. It’s been a long time. I missed him.”
He immediately wanted to step forward to save face.
However, there was another awkward situation.
The middle-aged man seemed to ignore Qin Jian’an, walked straight past him, and then smiled, “Is this Mr Qin? Truly a young hero. At such a young age, to be esteemed by the Emperor and serve as The Grand Chancellor of the Cabinet, your future is limitless, haha.”
Father Qin stood frozen.
Second Mother on the side said, “Maybe the master should step aside, don’t block other people’s way.”
“Let’s go back to the main hall, I suddenly feel a bit tired.” Father Qin sighed and turned away. No matter how you looked at him, he seemed lonely.
People’s joys and sorrows are not the same. While the Qin family was busy and happy, Qin Jian’an was drinking tea alone in the main hall.
When a child grows up, theoretically, the father should be the happiest, but for some reason, he always felt a sense of emptiness in his heart.
At that moment, someone called out from the entrance of the main hall, “Master, those people have finished visiting Young Master Qin and are coming here. They say there’s an important matter to discuss.”
Second Mother, who was holding a teacup, paused at the news.
Father Qin said excitedly, “I knew it. These are all my old friends from the capital. They went to congratulate Feng’er because of my face!”
A group of people entered the main hall, but the seats in the hall were limited. Those with lower ranks naturally had to stand.
These people didn’t know Qin Jian’an at all. They only recognised his identity as the head of the family when they saw him sitting in the main seat and bearing a resemblance to Qin Feng.
The group of people spoke in the official language and exchanged pleasantries for a long time.
When the greetings were almost over, the official from the Ministry of Personnel coughed and spoke first, “Speaking of which, there is a young daughter in our family who is about the same age as your son. She is intelligent and sensible, not to mention quite attractive. She is still unmarried.”
Upon hearing this, Second Mother’s beautiful eyes widened in astonishment.
Father Qin’s smile also froze on his face.
