When the middle-aged man Yin Wei heard this, his heart trembled, and his face involuntarily showed panic as he quickly stood up and anxiously asked!
"Yue'er, are you hurt?"
Yin Yue shook her head and said with a smile!
"I'm not hurt. Thanks to the several benefactors I met today who stopped the runaway horse, it didn't charge into the crowd."
Yin Wei breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.
However, he was still somewhat worried. If the runaway horse had charged into the crowd, his daughter would most likely have met her end.
He frowned slightly, his face filled with anger, and he ordered the guards at the door!
"Dismiss that groom and stable hand. They spend so much money on them, yet they can't even train a horse properly. What use are they to me?"
"Today, it's fortunate my daughter wasn't harmed. If anything had happened to her, I would make sure they paid with their lives."
Yin Yue was slightly stunned by her father's furious tone, but she didn't say much.
The horse had run wild today, and it hadn't been handled properly. Simply dismissing a few people was already considered exceptionally benevolent.
After Yin Wei's outburst, his expression returned to normal.
He still looked at Yin Yue with an affectionate gaze and said softly!
"Yue'er, who was it that stopped the carriage? Your father must send someone to deliver gifts and express his gratitude."
"Otherwise, it would seem as if our Yin Family has forgotten its manners."
Yin Yue pondered for a moment after hearing this, then slowly said!
"The person who saved me today has a rather noble identity. He is a two-thousand-dan official in the court, and he is only a few years older than me."
Yin Wei was just taking a sip of tea, listening to his daughter's words. He seemed indifferent to the mention of a 'rather noble identity'.
His Yin Family was quite influential in Luoyang, with many officials having come from their clan.
However, when he heard the later part about him being a two-thousand-dan official, he could accept that, but the phrase 'only a few years older than my daughter'.
The tea he had just swallowed involuntarily choked him.
After a few light coughs, Yin Wei looked at his daughter, a strange look in his eyes, and quickly asked!
"Are you sure that two-thousand-dan official is only a few years older than you?"
Yin Yue looked at her father, who seemed somewhat disbelieving, and said softly!
"Father, that person is indeed a two-thousand-dan official. He also wore a silver seal and a green ribbon at his waist, which is an official seal issued by the court, so it clearly cannot be fake."
After hearing this, Yin Wei stroked the beard at the corner of his mouth and fell into deep thought.
Young two-thousand-dan officials were not unheard of in Luoyang, but those individuals had extraordinary backgrounds, coming from prominent families whose ancestors had all served as Grand Tutor.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for someone so young to hold a two-thousand-dan official position.
It seemed that the person who saved his daughter likely had an extraordinary background, several ranks higher than their Yin Family.
After a moment of silence, he asked with a smile!
"Yue'er, what is the name of the person who saved you?"
Without any hesitation, Yin Yue quickly replied!
"This person called himself Liu Wenyi."
Yin Wei was slightly stunned when he heard these three words. He began to ponder in his mind, and after just a moment, he was taken aback.
He exclaimed, asking!
"Yue'er, is what you say true? Is this person definitely Liu Wenyi?"
Yin Yue looked at her father's surprised expression, her beautiful eyes showing astonishment.
Although a two-thousand-dan official position was high, it was still slightly inferior compared to their Yin Family. After all, the Yin had produced officials who held the position of Nine Ministers, and they held a certain status in the court, so there was no need for such an exclamation.
However, she did not neglect him and quickly replied!
"Father, that person just said his name was Liu Wenyi, and then he left. He seemed very aloof and didn't want to chat with me at all."
At this point, Yin Yue let out a slight huff, looking a little displeased.
After receiving accurate information, Yin Wei's eyes glowed with fervor, and he said with a smile!
"Yue'er, you must have heard of this person's reputation; you just can't recall it at the moment."
Yin Yue heard this, her beautiful eyes blinked, and a look of curiosity appeared on her fair cheeks. She wanted to hear who this person was, that she actually knew him.
Seeing his daughter's keen interest, Yin Wei had no intention of concealing anything and said with a smile!
"Liu Jin, courtesy name Wen Yi, is one of the heroes who quelled the Yellow Turban Rebellion this time. He killed Zhang Liang, broke through Guangzong, and pacified hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turban rebels."
"With this battle, his fame spread throughout the land. The civil and military officials in the court have already discussed that he can be enfeoffed as a marquis and appointed as a general; they just need to wait for the time of the conferment to arrive."
Yin Yue's beautiful eyes widened in surprise when she heard this.
She hadn't expected that young man to be the famous Liu Jin.
A while ago, his reputation echoed throughout Luoyang, and many young ladies from aristocratic families wanted to meet this young and famous Liu Wenyi.
She never thought she would encounter him today. Looking at his handsome, cool, and aloof appearance, he indeed closely resembled the Liu Jin she had imagined.
A hint of admiration involuntarily appeared in her beautiful eyes.
Yin Wei glanced at his daughter's infatuated expression, and a smile played on his lips.
It was quite normal for a young girl to be smitten, especially by those young and famous generals, who most easily stirred the hearts of these young ladies from aristocratic families.
He secretly pondered to himself that rumor had it Liu Jin was not young and had no wives or concubines yet. He would make a good son-in-law.
After all, his daughter was also not young and had reached the age for marriage. It was indeed difficult to find someone of equal social standing and similar age.
Thinking of this, a brilliant glint appeared in his eyes; he could certainly try to bring them together.
After all, Liu Jin was also a descendant of the imperial clan, and now he had achieved such great merit. Being enfeoffed as a marquis and appointed as a general was just around the corner, and his status and position were worthy of his daughter.
Yin Wei lightly coughed, bringing Yin Yue, who was still daydreaming, back to reality, and said with a smile!
"Yue'er, since this Liu Jin saved you, as your father, I naturally must pay him a visit to express my gratitude."
Yin Yue's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she quietly asked!
"Father, when you visit, can you take me with you?"
Yin Wei grinned when he heard this. How could he not see his daughter's intentions? He had no intention of exposing her.
He nodded slightly and immediately began to give orders, sending people to find Liu Jin's residence.
It only took two hours to ascertain Liu Jin's whereabouts.
Yin Wei then prepared some gifts and, taking his daughter, rode in a carriage towards the inn where Liu Jin was staying.
A moment later!
Outside the West Yue Inn in the city, several carriages were approaching.
It was Yin Wei and his daughter, Yin Yue. They immediately stepped inside.
The soldiers guarding outside, seeing strangers arrive, became wary, but when they saw the other party wearing a silver seal and a green ribbon.
They naturally knew that the other party was a two-thousand-dan official of the court.
With a polite expression, they cupped their hands and respectfully said!
"Greetings, noble sir. May I ask what brings you to the inn?"
