Chapter 289 Sending Guards
Xiao Cao knew the identities of the two people at a glance. She was wondering whether she should kneel down and salute like in the TV series when she heard Qi Xingyun say, "Why are you in a daze? My brother and sister-in-law learned that the old lady came to the capital, so they came to visit her. Lead the way."
He was about to bend his legs when he immediately stood up and said, "Hello, uncle and aunt, please come in." Then he turned around and walked in front to lead the way.
Xiao Caoer understood what Brother Xingyun meant by this. He definitely didn't want people to know their identities, so she just pretended that no one knew their identities.
This is better, I don't have to kneel. I have never kneeled in front of anyone except when I worship my ancestors on Qingming Festival.
Xiao Caoer led a group of people to the living room and invited everyone to sit down, then went to the yard to invite Old Lady Yang. By the way, she said to Old Lady Yang: "Grandma, Brother Xingyun's eldest brother and sister-in-law are here to visit."
"Really?" Old Mrs. Yang asked happily when she heard it. She had known Qi Xingyun for such a long time but had never met his family, and he seldom mentioned his family. Old Mrs. Yang always thought that there were not many people in his family. She didn't expect that he would come to her house today with his brother and sister-in-law. Isn't it very happy?
"It's true, I have invited them to the living room." Xiao Caoer said.
Grandma, I wonder if you would still be so happy if I told you the identities of Brother Xingyun’s brother and sister-in-law.
Old Lady Yang walked very fast. As soon as she entered the living room, she said, "Xingyun, Xiaocao said you brought your brother and sister-in-law here."
"Yes, grandma." Qi Xingyun stood up and introduced everyone after hearing the voice of Grandma Yang: "Grandma, this is my brother and sister-in-law, and this is Grandma Yang."
After everyone introduced themselves, they greeted each other with greetings and gifts. Then Old Lady Yang seemed to have suddenly thought of something and said, "Xingyun, why didn't you tell me you were coming so I could prepare some ingredients." Then she looked at Xiaocao'er and said, "Xiaocao'er, go find your Sanmao and ask him to buy some good food. I'll cook for you myself later."
After hearing her grandmother's instructions, Xiao Cao immediately stood up and said, "Okay, grandma, I'll go now."
But Qi Xingyun stopped him and said, "I'll ask someone to prepare the ingredients. You've only been in Beijing for a few days and you're not familiar with the city yet. Don't run around alone."
Old Lady Yang just said it so fluently because she couldn't tell that we were in the capital. She didn't react until she heard Qi Xingyun say that. She said quickly, "Yes, yes, yes. Grandma just forgot that we were in the capital and thought we were in the village. You, a girl, really shouldn't go out alone. I heard that there are kidnappers who specialize in kidnapping children. You are such a beautiful girl, you can't run away by yourself. Remember to tell me if you go out on the street."
"Yes, yes, yes, Xiaocao'er must not go out alone. Even if you personally take her and the other two out together, it's probably not a perfect plan. In my opinion, it would be better to bring a few guards with you." The Queen Mother solemnly advised Old Lady Yang.
"Oh, do you have to bring guards with you? Isn't this too much of a fuss? Besides, I don't have any guards available at home! However, my Xiaocao does know a little bit of Kung Fu. If we really meet someone with bad intentions, I'm sure he can deal with him. At worst, I can just run away. I won't be caught easily." Old Mrs. Yang waved her hands repeatedly, looking quite indifferent.
You know, guards are not something that ordinary people can afford to support. Not to mention the high salary, the cost of housing and equipment required for daily life is a considerable expense. What's more, the house he lives in is already a bit crowded. If a few more guards are added, it will be difficult to find space to turn around.
"This is not a difficult task! I have many skilled guards in my mansion. I will select a few capable people and have them wait at the gatehouse of the mansion for the time being. If you want to go out for fun or do business in the future, just call them to go with you. You don't need to worry about anything else." The queen mother responded lightly, as if this matter was just a piece of cake for her.
