Chapter 282: Personal Money
"Haha, Xiaocao'er, you are also thinking about becoming a knight-errant?" When Old Lady Yang heard this, her heart suddenly tightened and a worried look appeared on her face. She looked at her granddaughter who had grown into a beautiful young lady and couldn't help thinking to herself: This child is already a big girl now. In a few years, it will be time to start talking about marriage! Although it is still some time before she can get married, if she can meet a suitable family, it is better to settle the marriage first, so that those with good conditions will not be snatched away by other families.
"Oh, that's absolutely not possible! You are a girl, how can you do such a thing! Look at your fourth brother, he is a boy, he can do whatever he wants, we can't control it. But you are different, a little girl, how can you run around alone? Even if you really want to go out for a walk, I, your grandma, can go with you. But, you must not sneak out by yourself, remember?" Old Mrs. Yang warned Xiaocaoer with a serious face.
"Hehehe... Okay, grandma! If the time comes that I really want to go out to play, I will definitely come and tell you first. Then the two of us, grandparents and grandchildren, will go out together to adventure into the world and be mighty knights!" Xiao Cao ran to Grandma Yang happily, put his arms around her neck tightly, and started to act coquettishly. She looked so adorable.
Old Lady Yang particularly liked the way her granddaughter acted coquettishly towards her, and responded with a doting look on her face: "Okay, my dear granddaughter, whenever you want to go out and play, just tell grandma. But grandma is old and can't walk far, so we can only wander around here, which is not bad. When the time comes, we can ask someone to drive a carriage, and the three of us can go out for a walk, I think it won't cost much money."
Zheng Huaming and Qi Xingyun, who had been listening to the entire conversation, looked at each other in silence. They muttered to themselves, "One dares to speak, and the other dares to think!" With just an old man and a child, plus a coachman, they actually dream of going out to the world as a knight-errant? It's just a fantasy!
At this time, Zheng Huaming said, "Grandma, and Xiaocao'er, if you really want to go out and have a look, wait until you have rested well in the next few days. I will ask Shangguan for a few days off and take you out to play. There are many fun places around the capital."
When Old Lady Yang heard this, she shook her head like a rattle and waved her hands repeatedly to refuse, "That won't do! You have official duties to attend to, so you can't just take time off to hang out with us. If your superiors find out, they will definitely blame you!"
Zheng Huaming smiled and comforted her, "Grandma, don't worry about that. I'm going out to inspect the industry, which is just outside the capital. I'll be away for a month and a half at most and will be back soon." After saying that, he glanced at Qi Xingyun.
Qi Xingyun's handsome face was expressionless, but deep down he kept rolling his eyes at Zheng Huaming, thinking to himself, "Why do I see Zheng Huaming everywhere? It's my job to accompany the old lady out for fun. What does it have to do with him?"
At this time, Old Lady Yang seemed to have something else to say, but her words were abruptly interrupted by the clever and cute Xiao Cao'er. Xiao Cao'er blinked her big watery eyes and said in a tender voice: "Grandma, we have come a long way and finally arrived at Big Brother's place. We need to take a good rest. And who knows, maybe Brother Sanmao will go to check on his own business later. Can we go with him to join in the fun?"
Hearing Xiaocao'er's words, Old Lady Yang was stunned at first, then nodded as if suddenly realizing something, and responded, "Yes, yes, yes, look at my memory, I almost forgot about this. My Sanmao does run a lot of shops. When the time comes, we must let him take us to see where those shops are located, and also help him check his accounts to see how his business is doing. Don't let anyone cheat you."
Zheng Huaming, who was standing by, couldn't help but complain in his heart: Grandma, your precious grandson has been doing business for so many years, and you only remembered to check out his shop today? Hehe, don't I have to praise you for being so confident in your grandson!
Indeed, Sanmao usually discussed the family business with his sister and seldom told his parents. Firstly, they didn't care about his business, and secondly, they couldn't help much. So he seldom talked about it at home. He just brought some money to his parents every time he went home, and gave some pocket money to Old Lady Yang and Xiao Cao'er, so Old Lady Yang now had quite a bit of money saved for herself.
