4823--Andrew Bodyguard
On this day, Yang Kai was practicing swordsmanship in the courtyard, and the head of the nursing home suddenly walked in.
When Yin Zhiyong heard the voice, he rushed out of the inner room and said with enthusiasm, "Boss Chu, what wind is blowing you here."
The head of the nursing home is surnamed Chu, so the nursing homes below call him Boss Chu.
Boss Chu smiled and said, "What? Can't you come and see you two little bastards when you have nothing to do? Did you forget about us brothers and look down on us after you made a great contribution?"
Yin Zhiyong snorted and said with a bitter face: "What did Boss Chu say, no matter how great the brothers have done, it is also the credit of your years of teaching, how dare you look down on the brothers."
Boss Chu stretched out his hand and nodded at him: "You are the only one who can talk." His expression became solemn, and the conversation changed: "But this time, there is really something going on."
Yin Zhiyong hurriedly said: "Boss Chu, if you have something to do, just tell me."
Boss Chu turned to look at Yang Kai: "How is your body?"
Yang Kai moved his shoulders: "It's nothing serious."
"That's good, I'm afraid you won't be able to accept this mission if your body doesn't recover."
Yin Zhiyong asked concerned: "What task?"
Boss Chu smiled mysteriously: "It's not a bad thing anyway, there are good things waiting for you, come with me."
Yang Kai and Yin Zhiyong looked at each other, took their swords, and followed.
Along the way, he followed Boss Chu through the Meng Mansion, and it didn't take a while to come to a large hall. In front of the hall, the old man with the goatee, the head of the Meng Mansion, was waiting. Seeing Boss Chu, he nodded slightly.
Yin Zhiyong's calf suddenly trembled because he recognized where the hall was.
Although he has been in Meng Mansion for more than ten years, he is only an outer courtyard guard, and he has never been qualified to come to such an important place.
"Boss Chu, this..." Yin Zhiyong looked at the head of the nursing home regularly, hoping that he could give some instructions.
Boss Chu just said: "Don't talk nonsense after entering."
Yin Zhiyong nodded desperately.
The goatee manager handed over to Boss Chu, and said to Yang Kai and Yin Zhiyong: "You come with me." After that, he walked towards the main hall.
Yin Zhiyong leaned over to Yang Kai and whispered: "Brother, we may go to see the Patriarch, you should have some snacks."
This hall is the place where the head of the family deals with daily affairs. Ordinary people can't get close to it without summoning.
Yang Kai nodded slightly, indicating that he knew it.
As the goatee chief entered the hall, Yang Kai raised his eyes and saw a man behind a table in the hall who was burying his head in processing documents.
The man looks nothing special, about fifty or so, but because of proper maintenance, he looks a little younger.
This should be Meng Deye, the head of the Meng family.
The goatee stopped the two of them, stepped forward lightly, and said beside Meng Deye, "Master, someone brought it."
Meng Deye hummed and continued to bury his head in dealing with his own affairs.
He didn't speak, and Yang Kai and Yin Zhiyong could only stand here.
After a full cup of tea, Meng Deye put the document in his hand aside, affixed a seal, and frowned for a moment. This is like remembering the existence of two nursing homes, looking up at the two: "Which one is Yang Kai?"
Yang Kai clasped his fists and said solemnly, "Yang Kai has seen the Patriarch!"
Yin Zhiyong followed and saluted: "Yin Zhiyong, the guard of the outer courtyard, has seen the head of the family!"
Meng Deye stared at Yang Kai, his voice flat: "I heard that you were seriously injured before?"
Yang Kai let out a low voice: "As a guardian of the Meng Mansion, it is my duty to protect the eldest young lady. I will do my best and die!"
Yin Zhiyong immediately admired him, thinking that Younger Yang was usually quiet, but his flattery was very standard.
"Very good!" Meng Deye is undoubtedly very satisfied with what he said. If someone else said it, it might just be a talk, but Yang Kai proved his loyalty with his actions in the previous matter. And then.
He had also heard of the scene at that time, and knew that Yang Kai almost died in that battle.
Although he didn't know why this new nursing home was working so hard, he was so loyal that there was no need for any more tests.
"The inner house was originally the most closely guarded place in Meng's house, but this time Ru'er was nearly killed. Because of this incident, she now distrusts the guards in the inner courtyard." Meng Deye was not going to make any detours and talk to her own nursing home. There is no need to go around the corner, so he directly explained the purpose of summoning Yang Kai and Yin Zhiyong this time, "But because you have done a good job in guarding, Ru'er trusts you very much. It can be said that the only one she can trust in the entire Meng Mansion's nursing home now is also Only you!"
Yang Kai lowered his head: "It is an honor to be trusted by the eldest miss."
"I want you to stand by Ru'er's side and be her bodyguard, would you like it?" Meng Deye asked bluntly.
Yang Kai was stunned for a moment, clasped his fists and said: "Patriarch, don't worry, if Eldest Miss is missing a hair, her subordinates will come to see you!"
Meng Deye nodded: "I believe in your loyalty and ability. Do it well, and the Meng House will not treat you badly." After a pause, he said, "Tell me, what do you want?"
Can you still make a request? Yin Zhiyong was shocked, thinking that the owner of the family really values Brother Yang.
Yang Kai pondered for a while and said, "I want a good knife, a good sword!"
The narrow knife he used before was just the Mengfu standard narrow knife. It was not a good weapon. The blade had been rolled between the cuts, and the lethality was greatly reduced. The long sword he brought back was taken from the body of a robber in Baotian Peak. , is also common goods.
In this world with a very low level of martial arts, with a good weapon, the strength that can be exerted is naturally higher. At that time, if Yang Kai had any magical weapon in his hand, he would definitely not be so embarrassed.
Meng Deye nodded: "Go, the sword will be prepared for you."
"Thank you, Patriarch!"
On the side, the goatee chief bowed to Meng Deye and led Yang Kai and Yin Zhiyong to retreat.
Yin Zhiyong was still a little flabbergasted, and he was a little unclear about the situation. The Patriarch only said that Yang Kai should be the bodyguard of the eldest young lady, but the Patriarch did not mention him.
But if he didn't want him to be his bodyguard, what was this summoning for?
The goatee chief led the way in front and said, "Congratulations to the two of you. Being able to enter the inner courtyard is the kind of treatment that only the most elite and most trusted nursing homes in the Meng family can afford. Ordinary people can't enter the inner courtyard."
Yin Zhiyong was instantly overwhelmed, and the director's words clearly meant that he was also going to enter the inner house, and his heart was instantly relieved. Thinking that he had been in the Meng Mansion for more than ten years, he had always been the outermost nursing home at the lowest level, but it felt a little unreal that he was going to enter the inner mansion suddenly, and his heart was full of excitement.
"Trust the blessing of your lord." Yin Zhiyong smiled and ran to the goatee, stuffed a purse with him, and the goatee was obviously familiar with this, and took it quietly, very satisfied with Yin Zhiyong's performance.
Yin Zhiyong said: "Master Chief, what is the taboo of the inner house? Although my subordinates have been in the Meng Mansion for more than ten years, they have never entered the inner house, so I need more advice from the chief officer."
The goatee chief smiled slightly: "Of course there are taboos, but the most important point is that there is a difference between men and women. You are men after all, and most of the people living in the inner house are female dependents, so when you enter the inner house, don't listen to those who shouldn't listen, don't listen. Don't watch what you should see, don't say hello from the host, don't go where you shouldn't go, do your part well, and be at peace with yourself."
"Yes yes yes." Yin Zhiyong turned his head into a chicken pecking at the rice, "When we go, Brother Yang and I are the swords and spears in the hands of the eldest young lady. We will do whatever she says, and we will never make mistakes."
"It's best to think so, but it's best to do it as well. Although the two of you have made great achievements this time, if you make mistakes in the inner house, the owner will never tolerate it."
While they were talking, the three of them had already arrived outside the inner house. In front of a round courtyard gate, a girl with a maid's bun was waiting quietly.
Yin Zhiyong stepped forward, clasped his fists and said, "Miss Qian Qian!"
This maid is impressively a maid under the eldest miss, Miss Qian Qian. When Yang Kai was recovering from the injury, the eldest lady also sent her over to greet her every day, so Yin Zhiyong knew her.
Miss Qian Qian seems to be easily timid and shy, even though she has met Yin Zhiyong and Yang Kai many times, her face is still a little red at this moment, she involuntarily took a step back, pursed her lips and said nothing.
The goatee chief stepped forward and said, "Take them in, Miss will arrange it."
"Yes!" Qian Qian responded, looked up at Yang Kai, then quickly lowered her head, turned and led the way.
Yang Kai and Yin Zhiyong followed closely.
The inner house is vast and the environment is beautiful. There are courtyards, small bridges and flowing water, and rockeries.
Yin Zhiyong looked around as he walked, tsk tsk in his mouth, he had been in the Meng Mansion for more than ten years, and this was the first time he had entered the inner house. Gentle hometown feel.
Occasionally encountering female relatives in the inner house, Yin Zhiyong hurriedly bowed his head and followed his duty as a servant.
Among Meng Deye's three daughters, although two daughters have been married off, and only the eldest daughter, Meng Ru, remains in the boudoir, there are more than a dozen wives and concubines, so there are many women in the house.
If you see something you shouldn't see, your eyes will probably be lost.
After walking around, I finally came to the attic where the eldest young lady lived. Miss Qian Qian went to return her order, and Yang Kai and Yin Zhiyong waited downstairs.
This is a three-storey embroidered building. Many servants are busy, coming in and out. Xu Shi heard some news, so when walking back and forth, they looked at Yang Kai and Yin Zhiyong curiously. The person looked awkward, and from time to time he lowered his head and pursed his lips and snickered, and even whispered constantly.
After a while, Miss Qian Qian came out and greeted the two of them softly: "Come in, Miss is waiting for you."
Yin Zhiyong flattered: "There is Miss Lao Qianxi!"
The two of them stepped forward and entered the hall on the first floor. This should be the place where the eldest miss will receive guests. The decoration is quite luxurious. At this moment, the eldest miss Meng Ru is sitting at a round table, her beautiful eyes are shining Staring at Yang Kai who walked in.
