Chapter 47 Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings

As soon as I reached the alley in front of my house, the anxious figure of the old housekeeper came over.

He saw that General Xiao and his young masters were all well, and his worried mood finally calmed down.

"The young master was a little worried when he saw that you and the young masters were not returning home. He sent the old slave out to have a look."

The old housekeeper bowed to several people and explained, "Now that the masters are all safe and sound, I can feel relieved."

"Tell Yichen that if he is worried, we can go out with him next time."

Mr. Xiao had a look of disgust on his face, but the corners of his mouth showed the happiness in his heart.

"Staying in the house all day long will make you sick sooner or later!"

"Yes." The old housekeeper said, "General, Vice General Meng has been waiting in the mansion for a long time."

"knew."

Mr. Xiao turned around and pointed at the thin young man.

He said to the old housekeeper, "This is Xiao Jiu. From now on, he will be Xiao Qingtian's guard. Please make arrangements properly."

"Brother Xiaojiu will live in my courtyard from now on."

Before the old housekeeper could respond, he was interrupted by Su Qingtian's crisp voice.

"Little miss, you can't do this!"

The old housekeeper waved his hands repeatedly and said anxiously, "Men and women are not allowed to be intimate with each other. Except for the servants in the courtyard who are assigned by you to enter your courtyard, other male servants are not allowed to stay in your courtyard at will."

"If this spreads out, it will be bad for the little lady's reputation."

"is that so?"

Su Qingtian tilted her head, looking confused.

"But Brother Xiaojiu is the bodyguard given to me by my grandpa. He doesn't live in my yard. How can he protect me personally?"

"Grandpa, grandpa~"

The little girl pouted and stretched out her hand to pull the corner of Mr. Xiao's clothes, humming and coquettishly.

"I want Brother Xiaojiu to live in the same courtyard as me, is that okay..."

Mr. Xiao looked at Xiao Jiu who was so nervous that he wanted to shrink into a corner, and then looked down at his little granddaughter who was being extra willful today.

He couldn't help but feel that this girl deliberately chose Xiao Jiu as her bodyguard today.

Reaching out and pinching the two little ones, Mr. Xiao thought about it and replied, "Okay, okay, since Xiaojiu is your guard, you will arrange all the food and clothing expenses in the future, okay?"

"Really?"

"Wow, grandpa is so kind!"

Su Qingtian stood on tiptoes and hugged Mr. Xiao's waist, laughing. Before the old housekeeper could say anything more, she turned around, took Xiao Jiu's hand and ran towards her small courtyard.

Lu Wuming on the side looked at Xiao Jiu's back and frowned slightly.

Xiao Nan, standing next to him, puffed out his cheeks and sulked.

"General, this... this is against the rules!"

The old housekeeper stamped his feet anxiously, looked at the two people's retreating figures, and said worriedly.

"General, if this matter gets out, how will the young lady and Ji be able to successfully discuss the marriage?"

"Qingtian is still young, we will talk about the future later."

Patting the shoulder of the old man who had worried about himself and his family for many years, General Xiao looked at Su Qingtian's distant back.

"Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. If God's will is so, it is not something you and I can interfere with."

The old housekeeper looked at General Xiao with a puzzled look. Now that the young lady's uncle is not in Fengcheng, could it be that the old general was responsible for the young lady's marriage?

He didn't know that Xiao Hongyan had passed away, nor did he know Su Zheng's true face. He guessed that General Xiao planned to raise his granddaughter and send her back to the capital to be decided by her parents.

Thinking of this, he said no more.

If there are really servants who gossip, he will let these people know the rules of the Xiao family!

General Xiao raised his head and saw Meng Fang with his arms folded, leaning against the pillar in the corridor and watching the training of the soldiers, his brows furrowed, as if he had something on his mind.

"It's getting late, you all should go back to your house and have a rest."

"Okay, grandpa."

After Xiao Nan finished speaking, he ran towards the inner courtyard without looking back.

He immediately went to find the cook aunt and asked her to make some delicious food for his sweet sister, letting her know that the only one who was best to her was his cousin!

That Xiaojiu, how can you compare with him!

snort!

General Xiao looked at his little grandson's back and couldn't help laughing, then turned and walked towards Meng Fang.

"General."

Meng Fang stood up straight, clasped his fists and saluted. Seeing no one around, he lowered his voice and said, "Xiao Jiu has a special status. If you take him back to the Xiao Mansion like this, you may cause trouble."

"Haven't the Xiao family had enough troubles?"

Mr. Xiao couldn't help but snorted when he thought of the nasty things done behind the scenes by those people who did everything possible.

"Xiao Jiu's visit to Xiao Mansion has nothing to do with this general."

"It was Xiao Qingtian who chose a bodyguard among more than a hundred secret guards. In the end, she didn't like one of them, but she fell in love with Xiao Jiu, who was sweeping aside."

Meng Fang was stunned, but he didn't expect that this decision was actually made by the young lady.

"It's God's will."

Mr. Xiao sighed, "We mortals don't have to worry about such trivial matters anymore."

Meng Fang nodded. Since the matter was related to the young lady, he would not say any more.

"Let's go to the study first."

Mr. Xiao took long strides and said with a slightly solemn tone, "Purchasing military rations is the most important thing now."

Meng Fang looked solemn when he heard General Xiao mentioning military rations.

He followed the old general all the way into the study, and the two of them started talking after the servant boy left.

But the first thing Meng Fang mentioned was about Xiaojiu.

"General, my subordinates still feel that it is very inappropriate to bring Xiaojiu into the house in such a ostentatious manner."

The old general sat at his desk and looked up at his loyal lieutenant.

Seeing that the general did not stop him, Meng Fang continued, "If it were not for protecting Xiao Jiu's life, the general would not have allowed the imperial advisor to humiliate the Xiao family in front of His Majesty and the ministers, nor would he have led the whole family without any explanation.

Young and old came to settle down in this borderland."

"After finally surviving these years, the Xiao family has gained the recognition of the people in Fengcheng, and the border war has gradually stabilized."

"Suddenly, Xiao Jiu appears in everyone's sight again. I'm afraid someone with ulterior motives will cause trouble in secret!"

Meng Fang said this in a rather serious tone.

He grew up in the army since he was a child, and his father was also a companion who enlisted in the army with General Xiao when he was young.

His father died during the war, and he has been following the old general. He has been in and out of the Xiao family almost since he was young, so he is naturally resentful of what happened to the Xiao family.

Now seeing the young man who caused the trouble reappearing in the Xiao Mansion, Meng Fangxin was so worried that his heart was jumping.

"General, you must think about this carefully!"

"In addition to his special status, that child is also a born unlucky person. It is really too dangerous to leave him next to the young lady like this!"

"That incident back then was not simple. If outsiders coming and going in the house recognized Xiao Jiu, everyone in the Xiao family, the Xiao family army and the 300,000 troops stationed outside the city, and even Xiao Jiu himself might be lost at any time.

Life!"

The old general sat quietly in his chair and listened to Meng Fangman's words. This was the first time that he showed panic in front of him.
