Chapter 313: Going to the Capital to Celebrate the New Year

When Old Lady Yang heard this, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she stood up from her seat as if she had been sprung up by a spring. Her eyes were fixed on Qi Xingyun in front of her, and she asked with expectation and eagerness: "Xingyun, did my Ermao really do something meritorious? He has to come back to the capital to claim the reward?"

Qi Xingyun smiled and nodded, and replied: "That's right, old lady, your Ermao has made a great contribution this time! It won't be long before he returns to the capital with the army to receive the reward. And in my opinion, he may even be promoted this time! Then you will be able to see him again."

When Old Lady Yang heard this, her face immediately beamed with joy and she said "good" three times in a row: "Great, great, great! My second son is really doing well and is going to be promoted again! Xiaocao'er, let's go to the temple later to add more incense money, worship the Bodhisattva, and pray for blessings for your brothers to be safe and sound." As she spoke, Old Lady Yang instructed Xiaocao'er.

However, Xiao Cao'er quickly persuaded her, "Grandma, although my second brother may be promoted, the higher-ups haven't issued an official order yet. So we must not spread the news now. If he doesn't get promoted, it will be so embarrassing! How about this? We can add more incense money, but we can just make a silent wish in front of the Buddha. There's no need to make it public."

"Yes, yes, yes, you must not spread it out and let other people know! What if he fails to get promoted, wouldn't it be a disgrace to my beloved grandson?" Old Mrs. Yang nodded in agreement as if she had suddenly realized something. Her eyes, which were not big to begin with, narrowed into slits at this moment, and her face was full of approval.

The granddaughter's reminder was just right. One should be low-key, as the saying goes, "make a fortune in silence". Thinking of this, Old Lady Yang couldn't help but turn her head to look at her granddaughter, who happened to be looking at her. The two of them seemed to have a telepathic connection, and at the same time they covered their mouths with their hands and laughed secretly. Although the laughter was very low, the joy contained in it could not be concealed, as if the heart was blooming with joy.

However, at this moment, the grandmother and granddaughter, immersed in the good news that Ermao might be promoted, completely forgot about their previous discussion of moving to the capital.

Qi Xingyun, who was sitting nearby, could not help but look at Master Zhishen. Master Zhishen, on the other hand, looked back at Qi Xingyun with sympathy. Then, as if they had reached some kind of tacit understanding, they both picked up the teacup in front of them, took a sip of tea, and temporarily did not disturb the grandmother and grandson who were enjoying themselves.

When the grandmother and grandson finally calmed down from their excitement, Master Zhishen slowly said, "In my opinion, both of you have noble looks. You will surely have great fortunes when you come to the capital. You may as well stay in the capital for a few more days, and you will know everything by then."

After hearing this, Old Lady Yang thought to herself: The great wealth that Master Zhishen was talking about must be referring to the reward and promotion that Ermao would receive when he returned this time. But how could she have expected that what awaited them later would be even more surprising news than this...

"Stay, stay, you must stay a few more days! We must wait until Ermao receives the reward before we leave. You must see him no matter what. Otherwise, we don't know when we will see him again." Old Mrs. Yang said anxiously.

"Grandma, the New Year is coming soon. Why don't we write a letter to uncle and aunt, asking them to come to Beijing to celebrate the New Year together? Everyone is in Beijing now, and they are the only two left at home feeling lonely. It would be better for everyone to come to Beijing and celebrate the New Year together as a family. And according to my estimation, Ermao should also be in Beijing by then. In this way, our family will be together!" Qi Xingyun suggested to Grandma Yang with a smile.

"Oh my, Xingyun is really thoughtful! If Dashan and his wife can come to Beijing, our family will be so perfect this year. It has been several years since we have been so complete!" Old Mrs. Yang clapped her hands excitedly, her face full of joy. She seemed to have begun to look forward to the warm and happy scene of the family reuniting together to celebrate the Spring Festival.

Xiao Cao'er also thought this was a good suggestion. After all, the number of times the family had gotten together over the years could be counted on one hand.

"Okay, when we get home I'll ask Xiaocao'er and the others to help me write the letter. Oh, my dear granddaughter, when you get home remember to remind those brats and ask them if they want to write letters back. Anyway, a letter takes a whole truckload of letters to deliver, so don't waste manpower." Old Lady Yang instructed Xiaocao'er.
