Chapter 338 - 337: The Graded Officials of the Ministry of Works
Jinrong and his party stepped into Qi Family Courtyard, Qi Younian, Cheung Wusi, and Wong Qiao, who had been waiting, came out to greet them.
Dressed in a deep gray cotton robe and without a hat, Qi Younian’s hair was neatly tied up, already bearing the appearance of a head of the family. He stepped forward to pay respects to Jinrong and Jiang Yifan, "This humble old man has seen the Sixth Master, has seen Lord Jiang."
Jiang Yifan quickly stepped forward to support Qi Younian, saying, "The elder is still so courteous, we are young and don’t deserve such respect from the elder."
Jinrong followed with a smile, "We will be staying at the elder’s place for a few days, if we keep up with such courtesies, it won’t be comfortable."
Qi Younian said with a smile, "Although we are familiar with the Sixth Master and Lord Jiang, still, since you have just entered the house, the necessary courtesy must be observed. After staying here more frequently, we can consider it otherwise."
Jiang Yifan said with a smile, "The elder speaks sensibly, we can be more casual after we settle in."
After Cheung Wusi and Wong Qiao paid their respects to Jinrong and Jiang Yifan, Qi Younian said, "Nanny Liu has arranged accommodations for the Sixth Master and Lord Jiang. You two go to your rooms first to change out of your travel clothes, wash up a bit, and then we can talk in the drawing room, does that sound good?"
Seeing Jinrong nod in agreement, Qi Younian ordered the two young servants, "You two, lead the two gentlemen to their rooms and attend to their washing up."
