Hearing this, Qi Xingyun pondered for a moment, then smiled and suggested: "Based on the current situation, there is no major war happening at the border. So, you might as well stay in the capital for a while and find a position to serve with peace of mind. When the border is really needed in the future, it won't be too late to go there."

At this moment, Xiaocao'er, who had been standing aside and listening quietly, suddenly covered her mouth and chuckled, and interrupted: "This is great, this way, not only can second brother stay in the capital to accompany grandma and parents, but he can also take advantage of this time to get married, the most important event in his life!" As she spoke, she winked at Ermao mischievously, causing everyone to laugh.

"Marriage?" Ermao was stunned for a moment, and asked with a puzzled look on his face: "Grandma, are you really going to marry me?"

"Well, we haven't gotten married yet, but grandma has already set her eyes on a girl. I just haven't had the chance to go to their house to talk about it yet, and I don't know if they will like you!" Xiao Cao'er responded softly, with a hint of uncertainty in her tone.

"Hey, it doesn't matter if you don't like me. I'm not in a hurry. Besides, my eldest brother hasn't married yet, right?" Ermao waved his hand nonchalantly and continued, "Besides, Brother Xingyun is much older than the rest of us, and he's still single!"

When Qi Xingyun, who was standing by, heard this, his face instantly darkened. There was a hint of resentment in his eyes. He stared straight at Xiaocao'er, as if saying silently: Good sister, come and help your brother explain!

When Xiao Cao'er noticed Qi Xingyun's gaze, her fair face suddenly flushed like a ripe apple. She turned her face away in panic and said nothing.

Ermao and Sanmao looked at each other first, and then looked at Qi Xingyun. They saw Qi Xingyun staring at his sister, while his sister was a shy little girl. They suddenly felt strange - Oh my God, why do they feel that their sister is about to be taken away by Brother Xingyun!

Ermao looked at Qi Xingyun and then at Xiaocao'er, and could no longer suppress his inner surprise and confusion. He widened his eyes and hurriedly shouted: "Sister..., what is going on? In fact, the brothers are not very old, and you are still very young! So we don't have to get married in such a hurry!" After saying this, Ermao looked at his sister anxiously, as if he wanted to find the answer from her face.

Sanmao, who was standing by, was also shocked at this time. He quickly agreed, "Yes, yes, we are really not in a hurry!" Looking at the situation that suddenly happened in front of him, Sanmao's mind was in a mess and he had no idea what was going on.

Qi Xingyun couldn't help but feel a little amused when he saw the two of them reacting in this way, but he still explained seriously: "You don't know that the marriage between me and Xiaocao'er has already been discussed by our two families. It's just that I haven't had time to formally propose marriage because of the busy family affairs recently."

After listening to Qi Xingyun's explanation, Ermao and Sanmao were both stunned and looked at each other. They were speechless for a while.

After a long while, Ermao came back to his senses and asked stutteringly, "What...what's going on?"

Sanmao also nodded repeatedly, expressing the same doubt.

But soon, Ermao seemed to have thought of something, shook his head and thought to himself: No, no, my sister is first-class and excellent. Even if she wants to match with a prince or a prince, she is more than qualified.

Thinking of this, Ermao couldn't help but puff out his chest proudly.

Then he frowned as if he had thought of something, looking worried.

But, Brother Xingyun, you are much older than our sister after all.

Besides, you know, my sister is still a few years away from the age of marriage! Isn't it a bit inappropriate to rush into it like this?

Even Sanmao, who was at home every day, had never heard her grandmother and others mention this matter.

Then, Sanmao turned to look at Xiaocao beside her and asked in confusion: "Why haven't I heard any news?"

When Xiao Caoer heard this, she looked embarrassed and responded sheepishly: "Oh, how would I know! Don't ask me about this, you should ask grandma and parents." Before she finished her words, she ran away shyly.

Then, Ermao and Sanmao simultaneously looked at Qi Xingyun, their eyes full of questions, as if they were asking in unison: Brother Xingyun, is what you just said true? But don't you think you are too old? Aren't you afraid that your sister will dislike you?

Facing their frank and undisguised gazes, Qi Xingyun remained calm and composed, without any sign of panic.

He opened his mouth slowly and replied calmly: "This matter was agreed upon by the elders of both sides. If you are interested in this, you can go and present your ideas to the elders of both sides."

After saying that, he turned and left, leaving Ermao and Sanmao standing there, looking at his receding back thoughtfully.

As for the so-called elders on both sides, the elders on my own side are easier to deal with. Perhaps I can even try to give some personal opinions.

However, aren't Brother Xingyun's elders the supreme and honorable Emperor and Empress Dowager? How should they bring this up? Ermao and Sanmao looked at each other, wondering.
