Court Marriage - Chapter 33

The young lady’s maiden cousin is the champion in high school, and the champion has specially come to Bocheng to visit relatives in person. After the news spread in Qiao’s mansion, it suddenly overshadowed the second young master’s love affair. After all, there are many ladies in the official family in this world, but the champion is a rare person who only comes out in three years. His family is also a powerful person in Beijing, and his future career is unlimited. So when the old lady learned the news, she was very happy and ordered someone to clean up a courtyard in the city, and allocated a sum of money from the public to Qiao Yingze and his wife, so that they would definitely entertain this family.

The old lady’s move is to hope that Qiao Yingze can befriend this helpful relative, and secondly, it is to support Gong Zhuoliang. Although Qiao Yingze is reluctant to curry favor with others, she is somewhat curious about this weak senior high school champion. In addition, Gong Zhuoliang also said that his character and knowledge are all good, thinking that it would be good to make a friend, so he happily agreed to this matter.

Qiao Yingze has a rare interest in foreign affairs. With the money given by the old lady, he manages the minor repair arrangements in the other courtyard. He goes out in a sedan chair every two days to check the progress. The nimble Qiao Ming and the steady Shi Kang follow. , Gong Zhuoliang has nothing to worry about him… In fact, the person Gong Zhuoliang is more worried about now is himself.

Speaking of Gong Zhuoxiang’s family, they are really cousins ​​to the grandfathers of Gong Zhuoliang’s family, but the family of Gong Zhuoliang’s family is not up to the standard. Madam, the tigress entered the door, earned the current wealth of the Gong family, and took the initiative to honor the relatives in the capital, and it was considered that there was a connection again, but it was no longer regarded as a money bag by others.

And when it comes to the deity of Gong Zhuoliang’s body and his first-class cousin, it can really be called a **** fate.

It was still more than a year ago. Gong Zhuoxiang went out to visit relatives, and was kindly invited to Bocheng by the tigress who learned the news. However, he accidentally saw Gong Zhuoliang, who was crying secretly. He felt pity for the young man immediately, so he changed his mind and stayed for half a month. He was very caring for the young man. , and also made an appointment to wait for his high school, and then pick up the teenager to go to Beijing to settle…

Putting all those disgusting memories out of his mind, Gong Zhuoliang, who was locked in his room, scratched the wall depressedly, thinking how **** and cliché this is. The sadomasochistic drama!

And when Gong Zhuoliang remembered how weak his body was before, he wanted to vomit three liters of blood!

“Dog blood, too bloody.”

He shook his head with emotion and sighed softly. Gong Zhuoliang thought about it further based on this memory. This young man had endured all kinds of hardships and hardships in the Gong family, but he committed suicide by jumping into the lake when he was forced to marry him. Affection is also the main reason… Thinking of this, Gong Zhuoliang has a hard time developing a good impression of his **** cousin who would like an eleven-year-old boy.

Although that Gong Zhuoxiang really cared for the young man and even wanted to buy a property for him in Beijing so that he could marry a wife and have children in the future, he did not mean to raise him as a child prostitute. It’s a fact that he doesn’t even know what he’s lost…he can’t get it back again.

Gong Zhuoliang will struggle for this champion for so long, not for pity or ‘old love’, but because he is afraid that he will be too nostalgic and reveal his relationship with the deity young man, in case Qiao Yingze becomes suspicious. , how should I deal with it?

When he thought that this **** scene was almost certain to happen, and he couldn’t explain it completely, Gong Zhuoliang was entangled again.

Stop them from meeting? Don’t be kidding, why does my current status prevent their men from communicating with others outside? Besides, with Qiao Yingze’s carefulness, wouldn’t he make him more suspicious the more he stopped him?

Or confess in advance? But how can I tell Xiao Xianggong? I can’t tell him that the cousin is my old lover… But the person who has JQ with him is obviously not me now, but it is too cruel to ask me to take the blame!

“What is this!”

With a long sigh, Gong Zhuoliang heard Qiao Yingze’s door opening and entered the room. He straightened up his expression and greeted him with a smile. He thought that it would be useless to be annoyed now, and then he will adapt to the situation when he sees the development of the situation.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX time arrived at the beginning of April in Gong Zhuoliang’s depression from time to time, the champion came as he said in the letter, and it could even be said that he came in a hurry, with only two guards by his side. Went to the palace mansion.

Gong Zhuoxiang met the elders of the palace courteously, with a rare kind smile on his face, but when he asked about Gong Zhuoliang, he got the answer that people had been away from home for more than half a year, and they didn’t know where they were. , the smile on Gong Zhuoxiang’s handsome face faded, knowing that they forced the young man away, and the eyes of everyone in the palace family immediately became cold and frightening, but they just threw their sleeves and wanted to leave, so scared that everyone in the palace family quickly stopped him.

It was Mrs. Gong who remembered Gong Zhuoliang’s words wisely and told him that the son-in-law of the Qiao family had always been in contact with Gong Zhuoliang and wanted to introduce them to each other. It wasn’t until Qiao Yingze came by appointment that he put on a smile and looked at the person coming because of his ugliness.

As soon as Qiao Yingze was ushered into the hall, he saw a handsome young man standing with his hands behind his back, with a graceful and extraordinary demeanor, Qiao Yingze’s eyes lit up, and he sighed that this champion was really handsome, and the smile on his face became sincere. After a few minutes, he raised his hand to greet him.

Gong Zhuoxiang returned the gift politely, but he didn’t expect this young Juren to be an elegant and outstanding person, so Gong Zhuoxiang secretly lamented that the Gong family had a good relationship, and he was moved to make friends, and he wanted to learn from Qiao Yingze. Gong Zhuoliang’s whereabouts, the more gentle and polite in the conversation, there is not a bit of pride and arrogance.

Qiao Yingze saw that he treated him with courtesy, but was very indifferent and alienated from the Gong family. Knowing that he also disliked the philistine vulgarity of the Gong family, he invited him to live in his own courtyard as he had agreed before, so that he could do everything he could. Friendship of Landlords. Gong Zhuoxiang was impatient to stay at the palace for a long time, and after hearing the words, he answered his invitation politely.

When the two of them left, they didn’t pay attention to everyone in the Gong family, which made Mrs. Gong, who had been begging for something uninteresting, very depressed, but she didn’t dare to lose her temper with the champion and the master.

Qiao Yingze came from the Gong family in a sedan chair, and originally prepared a sedan chair for Gong Zhuoxiang, but seeing that the other party was handsomely mounted on a horse and holding a whip, he was actually both civil and military. , while sitting in another more elegant sedan chair.

Before getting on the sedan chair, Qiao Yingze couldn’t help but subconsciously looked at the man immediately, and felt that he had never seen such an outstanding person for so many years, and he was really ashamed of himself.

Gong Zhuoxiang followed Qiao Yingze to the other courtyard. Seeing that the building here is elegant and unique, and the decorations are also very suitable for him, he has a good impression of Qiao Yingze. In addition, the two are full of talents and knowledge, and one has a lot of knowledge. One is humbly seeking progress, and the two casually talk about knowledge and poetry and painting. The afternoon passed quickly, and both of them still felt unfinished, and vaguely regarded each other as a rare confidant and friend, and even the title changed from the first adult and son to the later dear brother and virtuous brother.

“Brother Gong has been exhausted from his journey, and it is really disrespectful to bother me like this. If it’s getting late today, Brother Gong should rest early.”

Realizing that it was almost time for dinner, Qiao Yingze stopped the topic knowingly and got up to say goodbye to Gong Zhuoxiang.

Although he is the master of this other courtyard, since he has borrowed Gong Zhuoxiang now, he should no longer act like the master.

“Brother Xian, please stay for now. There is one more thing. Brother Fool wants to trouble Brother Xian. I heard that after my cousin Zhuo Liang of the palace family left home, he troubled Brother Qiao Xian to buy some property. I don’t know if Brother Qiao Xian knows that my cousin is in Where is it, how is it going?”

Gong Zhuoxiang, who had been thinking about his sweetheart, finally opened his mouth apologetically, and when he said it later, his tone was hard to hide his concern.

“This… Brother-in-law, he is traveling abroad now, but he has occasional correspondence with Zhuojing. He often mentions interesting things around him, and he seems to be doing well.”

Gong Zhuoxiang’s attitude made Qiao Yingze’s heart skip a beat. He only felt that it was abnormal for him to be so tight to Gong Zhuoliang. Speech spoken.

“Since he left the Gong family, why didn’t he send me any news? Could it be that he blames me… No, he must be afraid of delaying my studies. This child is always so considerate.”

Hearing this, Gong Zhuoxiang first frowned in confusion, then lowered his eyes and thought a little uneasy, but soon turned to a gentle smile, but his wandering eyes revealed the slightest uncertainty in his heart, and he focused on himself. When he was worried, he didn’t notice that Qiao Yingze’s right hand, which was originally placed by his side, was slowly clenched and placed behind him.

“Brother Gong is very close to my brother-in-law?”

Qiao Yingze pursed his lips and smiled lightly, his eyes dropped below Gong Zhuoxiang’s collar, and he didn’t want him to see the suspicion in his eyes.

What does this Gong Zhuoxiang have to do with his little daughter-in-law?

“Oh, he is a rare good boy. I wonder if the wise brother can tell the foolish brother where he is now?”

Gong Zhuoxiang realized his gaffe, and did not feel ashamed, but showed a rather bright smile.

“My brother-in-law always writes to us after he arrives at a place, so it’s not clear where he is now.”

Inexplicably, Qiao Yingze felt that the person in front of him looked a bit like Qiao Yingxuan when he smiled… They were full of unrestrained and confident temperament, and Gong Zhuoxiang’s mature demeanor was naturally much better than that of Qiao Yingxuan’s naive one.

Qiao Yingze couldn’t help thinking, Gong Zhuoliang used to appreciate Qiao Yingxuan’s character so much, was it because of his empathy for the person in front of him?

“Then I don’t know if I can trouble my virtuous brother to inform him that I am in high school when I communicate with Liang’er, and let him go to the palace in Beijing to find me. If there is any inconvenience, please write to me first… Or I will write a letter to me first. He, Brother Lao Xian handed it over for me.”

Gong Zhuoxiang was thinking about his own thoughts at this time, and he never noticed Qiao Yingze’s unnaturalness. For more than a year, he studied hard day and night, and Gong Zhuoliang’s cute and obedient appearance became a part of his hard work. Maybe the close half-month relationship didn’t make him really love him, but after more than a year of misses accumulated, the original innocence was so precious, but he lost it after high school now The trace of the young man, in a moment of anxiety, also rarely lost his usual composure.

“it is good…”

Gong Zhuoxiang’s appearance further deepened Qiao Yingze’s guess, and once the happiness that supported him was overshadowed, Qiao Yingze felt that his strength was drained instantly, and the exhaustion accumulated from talking and laughing all afternoon covered his whole body, Qiao Yingze slightly He leaned close to the table and supported it with one hand, trying to keep a polite smile on his face while trying desperately to tell himself not to think about it in his heart.

“What’s wrong with my brother?”

Gong Zhuoxiang’s gaffe was only for a short moment. After regaining his senses, he noticed that Qiao Yingze’s face had turned pale, and he hurriedly tried to help him sit on the chair, but Qiao Yingze turned to one side to avoid his touch. Gong Zhuoxiang looked at his hand and couldn’t help but froze for a moment.

“My body has always been weak, so I don’t dare to worry about Brother Gong, just go back and rest. After writing the letter from Brother Gong, hand it over to the next.”

Qiao Yingze bowed his hands and apologized to Gong Zhuoxiang. His thin body and his weak appearance at this time deepened the credibility of his words.

“Oh, since that’s the case, the foolish brother will not delay the rest of the wise brother, please.”

Gong Zhuoxiang smiled generously, raised his hand and made a gesture of invitation. Qiao Ming, who was waiting outside the door, saw that the young master’s face was not good, so he hurriedly ordered someone to bring the sedan chair waiting outside and wait for Qiao Yingze. After saying goodbye to Gong Zhuoxiang again and again, he helped him into the sedan chair.

“…Don’t go home yet, just wander around the city.”

Qiao Yingze instructed Qiao Ming in a low voice. As the curtain of the sedan chair was lowered, his barely maintained smile disappeared completely. He let out a soft sigh of relief and leaned back in the sedan chair. His closed eyes hid all his thoughts.

At this time, Gong Zhuoliang was anxiously waiting at home, pondering how to adapt in front of Qiao Yingze.
