Chapter 378: A Bit Old
He had already asked Xiaocao'er quietly before. He was absolutely sure about their relationship. Why would he worry that Xiaocao'er would look down on him?
But at this moment, Qi Xingyun was thinking more about another thing - the mysterious mystery that had lingered around Xiao Cao'er since childhood.
He knew very well that with Xiaocao'er's unique secret, if he married her to an ordinary family, he didn't know whether the other party would be able to protect her. He didn't know whether the other party would have bad intentions after discovering her secret.
Thinking of this, Qi Xingyun could not help but secretly make up his mind: no matter what, he must keep Xiaocao'er by his side. In this way, even if something strange happened in the future, he could bear it all by himself without making others feel too incredible or resentful.
After both parties had finalized all matters, they walked out of the study together.
Since everyone has been eating barbecue since noon, the aroma of barbecue is still lingering in the air.
At this time, the thoughtful Xiao Caoer came up with a good idea. She asked the kitchen to carefully cook a pot of steaming and fragrant preserved egg and lean meat porridge. In this way, it can be enjoyed with the barbecue just now, and the taste complements each other, which makes people have endless aftertaste.
In this way, a group of people sat together, chatting and laughing happily while enjoying the feast of delicious food. Time passed unknowingly until the sun gradually set and the afternoon time quietly slipped away, and this happy party finally came to an end.
When people stood up to say goodbye, Master Qi, the guards and Zheng Huaming were all holding the gifts specially prepared by Xiao Cao'er - both white wine and red wine.
Zheng Huaming looked at the wine in his hand, his excitement was beyond words and he almost jumped for joy!
You know, he just mentioned it casually before, and didn't hold much hope at all, but he never expected that Xiaocaoer actually prepared these fine wines for everyone, and there were actually two different types of wine! Thinking about bringing it back to the old man at home to taste, he will definitely be very happy!
As night falls, the stars twinkle and the moonlight shines on the earth. After a busy day, the family sits around the table and enjoys a sumptuous dinner. After dinner, everyone goes their separate ways and takes a short rest.
At this time, Old Lady Yang and Li walked towards Xiao Cao'er's house. Xiao Cao'er was sitting quietly at the table, holding an old book in her hand, reading attentively. Hearing footsteps coming from the door, she looked up and saw Old Lady Yang and Li walking into the house. She already knew the purpose of their visit - they must be asking about her marriage with Qi Xingyun.
As expected, after Old Lady Yang and Li entered the room, they slowly sat down with gentle smiles on their faces, their eyes falling on Xiao Cao'er.
Old Mrs. Yang spoke first: "My dear granddaughter, today Mrs. Qi mentioned your marriage with Qi Xingyun. What do you think?" As she spoke, she gently stroked Xiaocao'er's head.
When Xiao Cao'er heard this, her cheeks instantly flushed like a ripe apple. She lowered her head shyly, and her hands unconsciously fiddled with the corners of her clothes, showing the delicate demeanor of a little girl.
Li, who was standing by, couldn't help but chuckle when she saw this. She reached out and gently touched Xiao Cao'er's forehead, jokingly saying, "Hey, girl, you know how to be shy now! When you followed Xingyun on the inspection, I never saw you being so shy."
After hearing this, Xiao Cao'er's face turned red with shame. She stamped her feet and said angrily, "Mom, you always know how to make fun of others! I wasn't the only one who went on the inspection with Brother Xingyun. Grandma went with him." After saying that, she secretly glanced at Grandma Yang, as if hoping to get her support.
"That's right! What nonsense are you talking about! What do you mean Xiaocao followed Xingyun to patrol? I was there at that time. If others heard this, they would think too much!" Old Mrs. Yang glanced at Li with dissatisfaction and muttered.
Old Lady Yang turned around and said to her granddaughter with a big smile on her face, "My dear granddaughter, tell me what you think about this matter. Xingyun has already agreed, and his elder brother and sister-in-law also like you from the bottom of their hearts. If you can marry Xingyun, it will definitely be the right thing to do!"
However, Li frowned and interrupted with some concern: "Mom, don't you think Xingyun is a little old? He is much older than our Xiaocaoer.
Besides, even if we arrange the marriage now, our Xiaocao is still several years away from marriageable age, while Xingyun is already in her twenties. "
