Chapter 47 Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren
As soon as he walked to the alley in front of the house, the anxious figure of the old housekeeper greeted him.
He saw that Old General Xiao and the little masters were all well, and his worried mood was finally calmer.
"The little young master was a little worried when he saw that you and the little masters had not returned home for a long time, so he sent the old slave out to take a look."
The old butler beckoned to the others and explained, "Now that the masters are safe and sound, the old slave is relieved. ”
"Tell Yichen that if he is worried, he will go out with him next time."
Old Man Xiao looked disgusted, but the corners of his mouth were full of joy in his heart.
"If you stay in the house all day, you will get sick sooner or later!"
"Yes." The old butler said, "General, Vice General Meng has been waiting in the mansion for a long time. ”
"Got it."
Old Man Xiao turned around and pointed at the emaciated young man.
He said to the old butler, "This is Xiao Jiu, and it will be Xiao Qingtian's escort in the future, so arrange it properly." ”
"Brother Xiaojiu will live in my yard in the future."
Before the old housekeeper could respond, he was interrupted by Su Qingtian's crisp voice.
"Little Miss, this can't be helped!"
The old housekeeper waved his hand again and again, and said anxiously, "Men and women are not allowed to kiss, except for the little maids in the courtyard who are assigned by you to enter your small courtyard, other foreign men are not allowed to stay in your courtyard at will." ”
"If this spreads, it won't be good for the reputation of the little lady."
"Is that so?"
Su Qingtian tilted her head with a puzzled expression.
"But Brother Xiaojiu is a guard given to me by my grandfather, he doesn't live in my yard, how can he protect me closely?"
"Grandpa, grandpa~"
The little girl pouted and stretched out her hand to pull the corner of Old Man Xiao's clothes, and her small mouth was chirping.
"I want Brother Xiaojiu to live in the same courtyard with me, can I ......?"
Old Man Xiao looked at Xiao Jiu, who was so nervous that he wanted to shrink into the corner, and then looked down at his little granddaughter who was particularly willful today.
He couldn't help but feel that this girl deliberately chose Xiao Jiu as his escort today.
Stretching out his hand and pinching the two little ones, Old Man Xiao thought about it and replied, "Okay, since Xiao Jiu is your guard, you will arrange the food and clothing in the future, okay?" ”
"Really?"
"Wow, grandpa is so nice!"
Su Qingtian stood on tiptoe and hugged Old Man Xiao's waist, and smiled, before the old housekeeper could say more, he turned around and took Xiao Jiu's hand and ran towards his small courtyard.
Lu Wuming on the side looked at Xiao Jiu's back and frowned slightly.
Xiao Nan, who was standing next to him, puffed out his cheeks and sulked.
"General, this ...... It's not in order! ”
The old housekeeper stomped his feet anxiously, looked at the backs of the two of them, and said worriedly.
"General, if this matter is spread out, how can the little lady and Lu discuss their relatives smoothly!"
"Qingtian is still young, I'll talk about it later."
patting the shoulder of the old man who had been worried about himself and his family for many years, Old General Xiao looked at Su Qingtian's distant back.
"Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, if this is the will of God, it is not something that you and I can interfere in."
The old housekeeper looked at the old general Xiao with a puzzled expression, now the young lady's aunt is not in the city, isn't it the old general who is handling the little lady's marriage?
He didn't know that Xiao Hongyan had passed away, nor did he know Su Zheng's true face, and guessed that General Xiao planned to raise his granddaughter and send her back to the capital to be the master of her parents.
Thinking of this, he didn't say much.
If there are really people who chew the root of their tongues, he will let these people know the rules of the Xiao family!
As soon as General Xiao looked up, he saw Meng Fang with his hands around his arms, leaning on the pillar between the corridors and watching the training of the government soldiers, his brows were tightly locked, as if he had something on his mind.
"It's getting late, so go back to your house and rest."
"Okay, grandpa."
After Xiao Nan finished speaking, he ran towards the inner courtyard without looking back.
He went to the cook and aunt and asked her to make a lot of delicious things for her sweet sister, so that she knew that the only cousin who was best for her was herself!
What kind of Xiao Jiu, how can he compare with him!
Hum!
Old General Xiao looked at the back of his little grandson, couldn't help laughing, and turned around and walked towards Mengfang.
"General."
Meng Fang stood up straight and clasped his fists in salute, and when he saw that no one was around, he lowered his voice and said, "Xiao Jiu has a special identity, and if you take him back to Xiao Mansion like this, you may cause trouble." ”
"Is there less trouble for the Xiao family?"
Old Man Xiao couldn't help but snort coldly when he thought of the pickled things that the group of people who did everything they could do behind their backs.
"Xiao Jiu's coming to Xiao Mansion has nothing to do with General Ben."
"It was Xiao Qingtian who chose the guards among the more than 100 secret guards, and in the end, he didn't look at it, but he just fell in love with Xiao Jiu who was sweeping on the side."
Meng Fang was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect this to be a decision made by the little lady.
"Providence."
Old Man Xiao sighed lowly, "I and other mortals don't have to worry about such trivial matters anymore. ”
Meng Fang nodded, since the matter was related to the little lady, he would not say more.
"Let's go, let's go to the study first."
Old Man Xiao took a big stride, his tone was slightly solemn, "Buying military rations is the most important thing now. ”
Hearing General Xiao mention the military rations, his face was solemn.
followed the old general all the way to the study, and the two began to talk after the little guy who sprinkled the sweep left.
But Meng Fang opened his mouth to mention Xiao Jiu's matter.
"General, my subordinates still think it's very inappropriate to bring Xiao Jiu into the mansion so ostentatious."
The old general sat at his desk and looked up at his loyal lieutenant.
Seeing that the general didn't stop him, Meng Fang continued, "If it wasn't for the purpose of protecting Xiao Jiu's life, the general would not have allowed the national teacher to humiliate the Xiao family in front of His Majesty and the ministers, nor would he have brought the family to settle down here without explanation." ”
"It's not easy to survive all these years, and the Xiao family can be regarded as gaining the recognition of the people in Fengcheng, and the border war has gradually stabilized."
"Suddenly, Xiao Jiu appeared in everyone's field of vision again, I'm afraid that someone with a heart will make trouble in secret!"
This passage was said in a rather serious tone.
He grew up in the army since he was a child, and his father was also a partner who enlisted in the army with General Xiao Lao when he was a child.
After his father died in the war, he has been following the old general, and he has been in and out of the Xiao family almost since he was young, so he is naturally indignant about what happened to the Xiao family.
Seeing the young man who caused the trouble in the first place reappeared in the Xiao Mansion again, Meng was so anxious that his heart jumped to his feet.
"General, you must think about this matter!"
"In addition to his special identity, that child is a naturally ominous person, and it is too dangerous to put it next to Miss Xiao like this!"
"That incident back then was by no means simple, if outsiders who came and went to the mansion recognized Xiao Jiu, everyone in the Xiao family, the Xiao family army and the 300,000 troops stationed outside the city, even Xiao Jiu himself might lose his life at any time!"
The old general sat quietly in his chair and listened to what Meng Fang had said, and this was the first time he had shown a panicked look in front of him.
