That day Yang Kai was practicing sword skills in the courtyard, and the head of the nursing courtyard suddenly walked in.
Yin Zhiyong heard the voice and rushed out of the inner room quickly, enthusiastically: "Boss Chu, what brings you here."
The head of the nursing home was named Chu, so all the nursing homes below called him Chu's boss.
Old Chu laughed and said: "What? It's okay, can't you come and see you two little rascals? Did you forget us brothers and look down on us after you have done a great job?"
Yin Zhiyong yelled, and said with a bitter expression: "What the boss Chu said, no matter how great the brothers are, it is the credit of your years of teaching. How dare you look down on the brothers."
Boss Chu stretched out his hand and nodded him: "It's your kid who can talk." His expression was solemn, and the front of the conversation changed: "But this time there is really something to do."
Yin Zhiyong hurriedly said: "Boss Chu has something to do, just give orders."
Boss Chu turned his head to look at Yang Kai: "How is your body?"
Yang Kai moved his shoulders: "It's nothing serious."
"That's good, I'm afraid that you won't be able to accept this mission without recovering."
Yin Zhiyong cared: "What task?"
Boss Chu smiled mysteriously: "Anyway, it's not a bad thing, there are good things waiting for you, come with me."
Yang Kai and Yin Zhiyong looked at each other, took their swords away, and stepped to keep up.
Following Boss Chu shuttled through Meng's mansion all the way, it was not a long time before he came to a hall. In front of the hall, the old man with a goatee, the head of Meng's mansion, was waiting, and he nodded slightly after seeing Boss Chu.
Yin Zhiyong's calf suddenly trembled, because he recognized where this hall was.
Although he has been in Meng Mansion for more than ten years, he is only a guard of the outer courtyard, and he has never qualified to come to such an important place.
"Boss Chu, this..." Yin Zhiyong looked at the head of the nursing home in expectation 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 follow me." After that, he stepped into the hall.
Yin Zhiyong approached Yang Kai and whispered: "Brother, we may go to see the Patriarch, but you have to have a snack."
This hall is the place where the Patriarch's daily affairs are handled. Ordinary people cannot be summoned and there is no way to get close.
Yang Kai nodded slightly, indicating that he knew it.
As the Goatee Master entered the hall, Yang Kai raised his eyes and saw the man behind a table in the hall, who was immersed in the paperwork.
The man looks nothing special, about fifty or so, but because of the proper maintenance, he looks a little younger.
This should be Meng Deye, the Patriarch of the Meng Family.
The goatee stopped the two of them, walked forward lightly, and said beside Meng Deye: "Master, the man has brought it."
Meng Deye let out a hum, and continued to deal with what he was doing.
He didn't speak, Yang Kai and Yin Zhiyong could only stand here.
After a full cup of tea, Meng Deye put the paper in his hand aside, stamped it, and frowned for a moment. This seemed to be thinking of the existence of the two nursing homes, and looked up at the two of them: "Which is Yang Kai?"
Yang Kai clasped his fists and said solemnly: "Yang Kai has seen the Patriarch!"
Yin Zhiyong followed and saluted: "The guard of the outer courtyard, Yin Zhiyong, has seen the Patriarch!"
Meng Deye stared at Yang Kai, and his voice was flat: "I heard that you were seriously injured before?"
Yang Kai yelled: "As the guardian of the Meng Mansion, it is the duty to guard the eldest lady, she will do her best and die!"
Yin Zhiyong suddenly admired him, thinking that Brother Yang is usually silent, but this flattery is very good.
"Very good!" Meng Deye was undoubtedly satisfied with what he said. When someone else said it, he might just be talking, but Yang Kai proved his loyalty with his actions in the previous incidents. That was a real dedication. And that's it.
He had also heard of the scene at that time, knowing that Yang Kai really almost died in that battle.
Although he didn't know why the new nursing home was so desperate, but so loyal, there was no need for any more tests.
"The inner house was originally the most tightly guarded place in the Meng Mansion, but this time Ru'er was almost at risk. Because of this incident, she now distrusts the guards of the inner court." There is no need to go around the corner, so I directly explained the purpose of summoning Yang Kai and Yin Zhiyong this time, "But because you are good at guarding, Ru'er trusts you very much. It can be said that the only thing she can trust in the entire nursing home of Meng Mansion is also Only you!"
Yang Kai lowered his head: "It is an honor for his subordinates to be trusted by Missy."
"I want you to guard Ru'er and be her personal guard, would you like to?" Meng Deye asked bluntly.
Yang Kai was startled for a moment, and clasped his fists, "Patriarch rest assured, if the eldest lady is missing a hair, the subordinates will come and see you!"
Meng Deye nodded: "I believe in your loyalty and ability. Do it well, and the Meng Mansion 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 Patriarch really values Brother Yang.
Yang Kai pondered for a moment, and said, "I want a good knife, a good sword!"
His previous narrow sword was only the Men's standard narrow sword. It was not a good weapon. The blade was rolled between the chopping and cutting, and its lethality was greatly reduced. The long sword he brought back was taken from the corpse of a robber in Baotian Peak. , Also ordinary goods.
In this world of extremely low martial arts level, with a good weapon, the strength that can be exerted is naturally higher. At that time, if Yang Kai had any magic weapon in his hand, he would definitely not be so embarrassed.
Meng Deye nodded: "Go, the sword will be ready for you."
"Thank Patriarch!"
On the side, the goatee chief bowed to Meng Deye and led Yang Kai and Yin Zhiyong out again.
Yin Zhiyong was still a little confused, and some were not clear about the situation. Just now, the Patriarch only said that Yang Kai should be the personal guardian of the eldest lady, but he did not mention it.
But if you don't want him to be a guard, what is the purpose of this call
The Goatee Chief was leading the way and said: "Congratulations to both of you. You can enter the inner house, but they are only treated by the most elite and most trusted nursing home in the Meng Mansion. Most people can't enter the inner courtyard."
Yin Zhiyong's heart was immediately exasperated, and the manager's words clearly meant that he was also going to enter the inner house, and his holding heart was immediately let go. Thinking that he had been in the Meng Mansion for more than ten years, he had always been only the outer guardian at the bottom of the house. Suddenly he was going to enter the inner house. It felt a bit unreal, and his heart was full of excitement.
"Thanks to the blessing of your lord." Yin Zhiyong smiled and ran to the goatee in two steps, and stuffed a purse in his hand. The goatee was obviously familiar with this, and he took it calmly, and was very satisfied with Yin Zhiyong's performance.
Yin Zhiyong said: "Master, what are the taboos in the inner house? Although his subordinates have been in the Meng Mansion for more than ten years, they have never entered the inner house. I need more advice from the manager."
The goatee manager smiled slightly: "There are naturally taboos, but the most important point is the difference between men and women. After all, you are men, and most of the people living in the inner house are women. So when you enter the inner house, don’t listen to those who shouldn’t. Don’t look at what you should see, don’t greet your host, don’t go where you shouldn’t go, do your part, and be safe.”
"Yes, yes." Yin Zhiyong turned his head into a chicken pecking rice. "Now, brother Yang and I are the swords and guns in the hands of the eldest lady. We will do what she says, and we will never make a mistake."
"It's best to think so, but it's best to do it too. Although you two have made great contributions this time, if you make a mistake in the inner house, the Patriarch will never tolerate it."
While they were talking, the three of them had already arrived outside the house. In front of a round courtyard, a girl with a maid's bun was waiting quietly.
Yin Zhiyong stepped forward, clasped his fist and said, "Girl Cici!"
This maid is a maidservant under Miss Cici. When Yang Kai was recuperating before, the maid sent her to greet and visit her every day, so Yin Zhiyong knew her.
Girl Cici seems to be timid and shy easily. Even though she has seen Yin Zhiyong and Yang Kai many times, her face is flushed at this moment, she involuntarily stepped back, pouting her mouth and not speaking.
The goatee manager stepped forward and said, "Take them in. Missy will arrange it."
"Yes!" Girl Cici responded, looked up at Yang Kai, then quickly lowered her head, turned and led the way.
Yang Kai and Yin Zhiyong followed closely.
The interior houses are vast and have a beautiful environment. In the courtyards, there are small bridges, flowing water, and rockery.
Yin Zhiyong looked around as he walked, screaming in his mouth. He has been in the Meng Mansion for more than ten years. This is the first time he has entered the inner house. He is curious about everything here, especially the smell of the nose that makes him feel better. The feeling of gentle hometown.
Occasionally, Yin Zhiyong hurriedly bowed his head when he met the female family members of the inner house, carefully following his duty as a servant.
Among the three daughters of Meng Deye, although two daughters have already been married, there is only one eldest daughter, Meng Ru, who is in her boudoir, but there are more than a dozen wives, so there are many women in the house.
If you see something you shouldn't look at, your eyeballs won't be able to keep it.
Walking around all the way, finally came to the attic where the eldest lady was staying. Miss Cici went back to her life, and Yang Kai and Yin Zhiyong waited downstairs.
This is a three-storey embroidered building. Many people are busy coming in and out. Xu Ye has heard some news. So when they walked back and forth, they all looked at Yang Kai and Yin Zhiyong curiously. People looked embarrassed, lowered their heads and smirked from time to time, and even whispered constantly.
After a while, Sissi came out and greeted them softly: "Come in, Missy is waiting for you."
Yin Zhiyong exclaimed, "There is Miss Lausiqian!"
The two of them stepped forward and entered the lobby on the first floor. This should be the place where the eldest lady meets guests. The decoration is quite luxurious. At this moment, the eldest lady Meng Ru is sitting at a round table, her beautiful eyes shining. Staring at Yang Kai who walked in.
