Chapter 175 Chen Ping Delivers Gifts on Behalf of the Master
"Master Feng, Little Master Feng, I am Chen Ping. I am sorry for visiting you without any prior notice!"

Chen Ping walked into the main hall under the guidance of the housekeeper.

Chen Ping clearly couldn't see anything.

But the way he moved with caution and grace in every move made people feel relaxed and happy no matter how they looked at him.

Upon seeing this, the Feng family father and son narrowed their eyes at the same time.

This person's background must be not simple!
Moreover, he is definitely not an ordinary kind person!

Unlike when he was dealing with those noble families, it was Feng Jie, the Feng family's talented son, who was there giving orders, and Feng Quji was completely nowhere to be seen.

This time, facing Chen Ping, a "high-end opponent" holding the Yingyuan token, the experienced Feng Quji took action.

"Why talk about forgiveness or not?"

"Since Mr. Chen has brought the token of the Prince Regent with him, he represents the authority and status of the Prince Regent."

"For my father and I, being loyal to the Qin Dynasty and the imperial family is our duty!"

"Mr. Chen, please sit down!"

Feng Quji's words sounded very righteous, as if he was really a good and law-abiding minister.

But the tone was neither hurried nor slow, and the logic was slow, which made it obvious that he was just saying these words to get by.

After all, no matter how Feng Quji was brought down by Ying Yuan, he was still the old-fashioned patriarch of the Feng family and had seen a lot.

How could he be fooled by an unknown blind man?
This is true even if the blind man is holding Gongzi Yuan’s token!
Although Feng Quji's words were somewhat disrespectful, Chen Ping didn't care.

He fumbled around for a moment, then lifted his skirt and sat down.

Just looking at the person sitting there with his back straight and as still as a pine tree, Feng Quji actually frowned.

"I wonder what kind of imperial decree Mr. Chen wants to convey to my Feng Mansion on behalf of Master Yuan?"

"Although our Feng family is not a wealthy one, our sincere desire to serve our country is evident to all!"

"Therefore, as long as Master Yuan issues an order, our Feng family will obey it!"

As soon as Feng Quji opened his speech, he set the tone for today's conversation without hesitation.

"If there is an imperial decree, then my Feng family will follow the rules. But if you, Master Yuan, want to order my Feng family, then I will not receive you!"

"My Feng family is not strong enough and is a small family. If there is anything difficult, please don't ask. The Feng family does not have that strength!"

The two meanings were accurately conveyed in a set of high-sounding words.

Only an old fox like Feng Quji, who has experienced the ups and downs of officialdom for decades, could use this tactic so skillfully.

If it were someone else, I’m afraid they wouldn’t understand what Feng Quji meant.

But Chen Ping was an exception.

Not to mention his own wisdom, even though he grew up in the Chunyu family, he learned too many twists and turns from the influence of his surroundings.

After all, Confucianism is famous for its love of "profound meaning".

Therefore, facing Feng Quji's ruthless move, Chen Ping took a sip of tea and said calmly.

"Lord Feng's heart for serving the country is truly touching!"

"However, in this case, it seems that I made the right decision to come here today!"

Having said this, Chen Ping clapped his hands lightly.

The servant who had been following Chen Ping and serving him turned around, took out an exquisite gift box from the bag on his back, and handed it to Chen Ping.

"It just so happens that today Chen Ping is running errands for the young master and is here to give a gift to Lord Feng. Now it seems that this gift was given at the right time!"

"A gift?" Feng Quji said lightly.

Then, he looked thoughtfully at the unknown blind man opposite him.

It seems like he wants to find some flaws or clues from the other person.

But, what is speechless is that the other party is obviously a blind man who cannot see anything.

But this person was able to deal with all of this without mercy and as calm as a mountain.

The whole face seems to be always smiling, but in fact, if you look closely at that smile, you will find that no matter how long it takes, the smile remains the same and has not changed at all.

To put it bluntly, this is used to deal with people.

There is actually no difference between it and having a blank expression, it just looks better.

Feng Quji was unable to tell anything from the other person's expression, which made him even more confused.

Can Ying Yuan give gifts to the Feng family?

Isn't this a white silk sent to let me commit suicide?
It's already conservative of them not to fight to the death, so is there any need for them to give gifts?
Feng Quji, who still couldn't figure it out, felt a little scalp-tingling when he looked at the brocade box handed to him.

But now that things have come to this, and we are still in our own house, is it possible to retreat?

Therefore, he could only let the servant put the brocade box on the dark disease in front of him and then open it.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a box of wolfberries!

Feng Quji frowned and looked at Chen Ping.

"Mr. Chen, what does Gongzi Yuan mean?"

Chen Ping couldn't see it anyway, so he just pretended that he didn't hear the resentment and anger in Feng Quji's words and replied with a smile.

"So that Lord Feng knows that my lord, Gongzi Yuan, is now under the order of the emperor to govern the country. Naturally, he must not only handle state affairs, but also pay more attention to the ministers in the court."

"Look, Lord Feng is a veteran meritorious official of the Qin Dynasty. Even though he has retired and returned home, Master Yuan still cares about him!"

"What a coincidence! I heard that Lord Feng married several beautiful concubines. He was very happy, so Master Yuan sent me here to express his condolences."

"After all, Lord Feng is a pillar of our Great Qin. It is only natural for Gongzi Yuan to worry about Lord Feng's health!"

"Therefore, we quickly had someone pick out a batch of top-quality wolfberries and send them over!"

When Feng Quji heard this, he almost couldn't sit still.

But unexpectedly, Chen Ping had not finished speaking yet.

"Oh, by the way, Master Yuan was still sighing before I left."

"This man has no choice but to drink wolfberry tea when he is old!"

"A pear tree overshadows a crabapple tree, I'm worried that it will tire me out!"

When Chen Ping said this, Feng Jie slammed the table and was about to stand up with an angry look on his face.

After all, mocking his father in such a public manner, and in the main hall of the Feng family, wasn't this a slap in the face of the Feng family?
What does his father's marriage of several concubines have to do with that Young Master Yuan?
Are you also hinting that your father is unable to do the job?
This shows that he doesn't take the Feng family seriously at all.

How could Feng Jie, such a proud and arrogant person, tolerate this?
But Feng Jie can't tolerate it, but Feng Quji can!

Feng Quji quickly grabbed Feng Jie's sleeve and glared at him fiercely.

Seeing his father's look, Feng Jie calmed down a little.

However, following Chen Ping's words, the entire Feng family main hall suddenly fell silent.

Feng Quji and Chen Ping, the two parties involved, actually acted as if nothing had happened and started drinking tea!
