Court Marriage - Chapter 34

I didn’t see Qiao Yingze coming back until dinner time, so Gong Zhuoliang went to the old lady’s courtyard to serve first. After returning, he prepared porridge and side dishes and continued to wait until it was dark, and the maids came to report that the eldest young master had returned and was now going to the old lady. Well then please.

“Go to the old lady’s place first? Got it, let’s warm up the porridge.”

Gong Zhuoliang, who was sitting in the chair, gave a light command on his face. In fact, the alarm index in his heart had already reached a high level. Whenever Qiao Yingze came back from going out, he didn’t see himself before asking An to reply. If something was abnormal, he would be a demon.

This time Gong Zhuoliang didn’t wait much, Qiao Yingze quickly returned to the room, his pale face startled everyone, but he avoided the help of the maid who was waiting at the gate of the courtyard, and slowly walked into the room by himself.

“Master?”

Gong Zhuoliang heard the voice and waited at the door of the house. Seeing Qiao Yingze’s appearance, he rushed over to help him, but Qiao Yingze didn’t avoid him this time. He had to put his arms around his waist to drag people into the house.

“Let’s all go out.”

Gong Zhuoliang chased the maids out, put his arms around Qiao Yingze and went into the back room, took off his coat and shoes for him and leaned on the bed. Seeing that he was silent but did not resist his touch, Gong Zhuoliang was secretly relieved. , the alert level has dropped to mid-range.

“Master is hungry, I’ll bring you some porridge.”

Pulling the quilt over to Qiao Yingze’s waist, Gong Zhuoliang, who had already made up his mind, smiled tenderly and got up to serve the porridge. He propped himself up behind him, then turned to face him.

Very good, it seems that there is no need to stage a roaring drama. Sure enough, our wife can be reasonable.

“Zhuzhuo…”

Qiao Yingze met Gong Zhuoliang’s gaze with some probing, but facing Gong Zhuoliang’s calm smile, he couldn’t ask the question in his heart, or it should be said that he didn’t want to hear a positive answer from Gong Zhuoliang.

His Zhuo Zhuo had someone he liked, and even… Does Zhuo Zhuo still like that Gong Zhuoxiang now?

“Xiang Gong, but my cousin asked about me?”

Seeing Qiao Yingze’s apprehension in his eyes, Gong Zhuoliang put a ‘V’ in his heart, lowered the alert level to a low level, and looked more at ease.

“Um…”

Seeing Gong Zhuoliang taking the initiative to bring this up, Qiao Yingze’s expression changed, and his eyes unconsciously showed some nervousness and anticipation.

Even if he already has his own judgment in his heart, if his Zhuozhuo denies those, then… the past is gone, he will believe it, and he will never mention it again.

“My cousin and I met in the fall of the previous year. He lived in the palace’s house for half a month. He was very caring and caring for me. Relying on him, I also really missed him after he returned to Beijing, but he was young and didn’t know how to love. Later, he learned about human affairs, and he didn’t want to be affectionate, but seeing my husband today is so uncomfortable, I think I heard it from my cousin. What happened, so he still remembers me?”

Gong Zhuoliang’s remarks focused on the fact that the deity’s youth and the cousin did not deviated from the deeds, and that there were nine truths and one falsehood. The only thing that was untrue was to deny the deity’s true love for Gong Zhuoxiang, but he was full of admiration for him. Cousin’s boy has indeed disappeared, and now he doesn’t miss Gong Zhuoxiang at all, so there is no flaw in his words.

As for whether he will live up to the sincerity of the champion, Gong Zhuoliang really wants to say sorry. There are so many frustrated people in the world, but Gong Zhuoliang can’t come here.

“He asked you to go to Beijing to find him, and he also wrote to you, a romantic figure with both civil and military skills like the champion…”

Hearing Gong Zhuoliang’s explanation, Qiao Yingze’s heart, which had sunk to the bottom of the valley, became alive again, but when he remembered how unpromising he was compared to that person, and people valued Zhuo Zhuo so much, if Zhuo Zhuo was defeated by Gong Zhuo What should I do if Xiang is moved?

Thinking like this, Qiao Yingze’s heart became a little less confident, and his tone couldn’t help but be a little sour.

“Cousin, this person is indeed a rare righteous gentleman. If you want to make this friend or not, you can do as you please. As for me, I can’t say something too heartless for no reason, and it will be troublesome to cause him to doubt and ask questions. Let’s find a way to slowly Stay away.”

First, he affirmed Gong Zhuoxiang’s character and knowledge, and then placed himself and Qiao Yingze on the same ground. Gong Zhuoliang firmly stated his position as a “wife”.

“I also admire his character and knowledge, so let’s be a gentleman’s friend.”

Seeing that Gong Zhuoliang said that the more he posted, the closer he was, Qiao Yingze lowered his eyes and turned his head and said something in a low voice, the corners of his mouth raised slightly.

When did Qiao Yingze ever see Gong Zhuoliang taking such a positive attitude and taking a stand? He still has some ghosts in his heart, but he is far inferior to that person in terms of family background and talent. People put aside the relationship, Qiao Yingze believed that Gong Zhuoliang had feelings for him, so he was willing to believe his statement, and believed that he would not be half-hearted.

“Okay, Du Yi Xianggong, the porridge is getting cold, let’s eat first.”

Seeing that Qiao Yingze finally smiled, Gong Zhuoliang breathed a sigh of relief and thought that the alarm was lifted, so he smiled and kissed Qiao Yingze on the lips, turned around and was about to stand up, but was suddenly hugged from behind by Qiao Yingze, his hands tightly hugged around his waist.

“Zhuzhuo, I will completely believe your words.”

Kissing Gong Zhuoliang’s ear gently on his side face, Qiao Yingze said in a low voice with a smile, wishing to rub himself and Gong Zhuoliang into one and hug him tightly.

“Ah…”

Gong Zhuoliang was taken aback by what he said, and then he couldn’t help but raised his head and laughed lightly, thinking that he still underestimated the intelligence of his little husband, and felt that Qiao Yingze’s kiss had slipped down to his neck, Gong Zhuoliang tickled. She shrank her neck and broke free from his embrace, then turned around and threw Qiao Yingze on the bed and started eating… Dinner or something, let’s talk about it later!

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX because Qiao Yingze was tired all day, Gong Zhuoliang was not willing to toss him any more, and the two went to bed early to rest.

Early in the morning, Qiao Yingze, who had a good night’s sleep, woke up first, only to feel refreshed and very comfortable, feeling the warmth of the man’s palm coming from his heart, Qiao Yingze chuckled helplessly, turned his face to the side and quietly looking at his sleeping face.

“Um…”

Being woken up on time by the biological clock that was reset back to the diligent gear, Gong Zhuoliang habitually hooked his fingers and played with the pink particles. He felt Qiao Yingze gasp and take his hand out from under his underwear. Zhuo Liang raised his head without opening his eyes and leaned towards Qiao Yingze. After a familiar soft touch came to his lips, he opened his eyes lazily and gave a big smile.

“I’ll come back before noon today, and I’ll have a banquet with Ying Xuan in the other courtyard for Lord Gong in the evening. I’m afraid I’ll be back later.”

Qiao Yingze was used to accompany Gong Zhuoliang to bed in the morning before getting up. At this time, he was lying there obediently, with Gong Zhuoliang lying on his body and stretching his arms and legs.

“Ying Xuan? Is he back?”

Hearing Qiao Yingxuan’s name suddenly, Gong Zhuoliang stopped and opened his eyes to look at Qiao Yingze, thinking to himself, isn’t that kid still playing outside? Why doesn’t he know when he came back.

“I came back last night. I forgot to mention it to you. The mother and second brother I met when I went to see my grandmother last night. My grandmother asked me to take them with me to receive guests today.”

Qiao Yingze was embarrassed to say that it was Mrs. Qiao’s arrangement. According to his own ideas, the reception of the other party was the friendship of Gong Zhuoliang’s natal family into the landlord. If you get along, you can get closer, and if you can’t get along, you don’t need to force it. When he came in, he was preparing for the ceremony and asking the second brother to make friends. Obviously, he wanted to catch up with the powerful family of the Gong family.

From this, Qiao Yingze couldn’t help but think that although the prefects of the Qiao family seem to be very wealthy now, they mostly rely on their grandmother and mother’s parents, and the father’s career has been stagnant for more than ten years. Level transfer. In recent years, his father has been doing more and more activities in Beijing, and although Qiao Yingze thinks this is not feasible, no one in the family will listen to him…

“Oh? Got it, I’ll be waiting for you at home.”

Gong Zhuoliang blinked, seeing the slightly unnatural expression in Qiao Yingze’s expression, he resisted the urge to speak venomously, thinking that this was because he was afraid that others would not know that she loved her younger son, and it was really hard to do everything for him. The mother-in-law condescended to look down on herself, the ‘daughter of a businessman’, as her natal family.

I didn’t show it before, I’m afraid I’m still holding a wait-and-see attitude, I feel that the Gong family may not be able to invite such a noble relative, so now I wait for someone to come before I speak.

After listening to what Qiao Yingze said, Gong Zhuoliang didn’t have time to stay in bed anymore. Because he didn’t have to go to Mrs. Qiao’s place to make rules, the old lady always let him go back to the house to serve Qiao Yingze and then go to study, so Gong Zhuoliang also went to school in the morning. No need to eat small stoves in advance.

After Gong Zhuoliang washed up, he went to the old lady’s courtyard to serve. When he came back, he was told by the maid that the eldest young master was teaching the third young master to write in the study.

“Prepare more bowls and chopsticks, and steam egg custard for the third young master. I will go to the study and call them.”

Gong Zhuoliang smiled when he heard the words, and asked Han Shu and the others to prepare meals first, while he took Ruo Lan and Ye Er to the study.

Ever since Qiao Yingze was led by him to get close to his two concubines, Qiao Yingzi’s little baby became attached to their husbands, and You Qiao liked to follow Qiao Yingze as a tail. His cute and well-behaved appearance made Qiao Yingze willing to take him as well. Now he has become an enlightenment teacher for the little guy, teaching him to write endorsements in big characters every few minutes.

In his own courtyard, there were not so many ceremonies. Gong Zhuoliang walked to the study and saw that the door was open, so he walked in directly. He saw that Qiao Yingze was sitting behind the desk with Qiao Yingzi in his arms, writing in his little hand while writing. Teach him to read softly, and Qiao Yingzi also repeated in a childlike voice.

Qiao Yingze is elegant and steady, and Qiao Yingzi likes him to have a portrait of his father, so the way the two brothers write together so close and close is a bit like father and son.

“Master, let’s eat first, Zi’er come here.”

Gong Zhuoliang hooked the corner of his mouth, and called out to the serious brothers, and then raised his hand slightly to Qiao Yingzi.

“Sister-in-law!”

As soon as Qiao Yingzi saw Gong Zhuoliang, his little face immediately blossomed with a smile, but he did not forget to look up at his eldest brother. After Qiao Yingze put him down with a light smile, he trotted all the way to Gong Zhuoliang’s side. He grabbed Gong Zhuoliang’s fingers with one small hand, then turned around and stretched out the other hand to Qiao Yingze, sweetly calling out ‘big brother’.

It is said that the eldest brother is like a father and a sister-in-law is a mother. In Qiao Yingzi’s small mind, a gentle eldest brother and a beautiful eldest sister-in-law are closer than an indifferent father, a strict mother, and a more indifferent and strict mother-in-law. Because of the image of his parents in other people’s mouths, he is more willing to be close to his brother and sister-in-law. Even if endorsement and writing are boring, he will work hard to learn to write well, just to have a reason to run to his brother’s sister-in-law’s yard.

“Little greedy cat.”

Qiao Yingze and Gong Zhuoliang looked at each other and smiled, packed up the pen and paper, walked to the two of them, held Qiao Yingzi’s other small hand, and the three of them walked out of the study chatting and laughing.

Qiao Yingxuan had already received a letter from his mother notifying him of his return, and he also knew that the honored guest in his mother’s mouth was a relative of the sister-in-law’s family. Although Qiao Yingxuan usually behaved very informally, his mind was not stupid. Also thought clearly.

Although I feel that this is too ‘righteous’ for my brother and sister-in-law, my mother’s original intention is for his own good, so Qiao Yingxuan can’t say anything. It is the best policy to accompany the elder brother to go through the motions, so as not to damage the mother’s face, nor hurt the feelings between their brothers.

After wandering outside for more than ten days, Qiao Yingxuan finally dispelled the annoyance caused by Jingshu, and buried his thoughts towards Zhuo Liang’s younger brother deeply.

Thinking about going out with his brother today, Qiao Yingxuan got up early in the morning to toss himself, changing clothes into one set after another, thinking that he couldn’t steal his brother’s style, but also felt that he couldn’t damage his face, so he couldn’t help it. It was pleasing to my eyes, and then I remembered that I was in a hurry, and ran to Qiao Yingze’s courtyard without having breakfast.

“elder brother…”

Guided by the maid, Qiao Yingxuan turned his head and saw his brother and sister-in-law walking from the corridor on the other side talking and laughing. Xiaodouding looked carefully and recognized that the child was his younger brother, Qiao Yingxuan’s face immediately went down.

“Ying Xuan?”

Feeling that the little hand holding him was clenched all of a sudden, Qiao Yingze and Gong Zhuoliang followed their younger brother’s nervous gaze and saw Qiao Yingxuan who had a bad face. Qiao Yingze frowned slightly and handed Qiao Yingzi into Gong Zhuoliang’s hand. Then he walked over to meet Qiao Yingxuan.

“Brother, sister-in-law.”

Qiao Yingxuan bowed to Qiao Yingze and Gong Zhuoliang behind him, with a reluctant smile on his face, but looking at Qiao Yingzi still couldn’t hide his boredom.

Qiao Yingzi’s biological mother is the outer room that Master Qiao once raised in the hot spring village. Madam Qiao hates their mother and son. Qiao Yingxuan loves her mother, so even if she knows that the child is innocent, she will inevitably become angry. She has never bullied this younger brother on weekdays. Self-consciously, he is generous, but he never took the initiative to give a good face when he met him.

“Madam, take Zi’er to breakfast first, I’ll greet the second brother.”

Although he knew that Qiao Yingxuan’s appearance was not right for him, Qiao Yingze still didn’t like him showing his face to a child like this, and the tone of his speech brought out some closeness.

“elder brother?”

Hearing Qiao Yingze’s words, Qiao Yingxuan couldn’t help but be surprised. He pointed at himself and at the little guy who was about to shrink behind his sister-in-law, but he couldn’t say anything about accusing his eldest brother of not distinguishing between relatives. Don’t put little things.

“Um.”

Gong Zhuoliang lowered his head and glanced at Qiao Yingzi, who had shrunk behind him, smiled politely and politely, and then pulled the little ostrich with its wilted head and ears back to the room first.

“Ying Xuan, you are not a child anymore, don’t let yourself become a person who does not distinguish between right and wrong because of the grievances of the elders, you should know that your attitude towards him, even if you don’t really think about him badly, you are indispensable. If you want to flatter your servant, bully and hurt him behind your back, it’s not what he wanted to be born a concubine, and he doesn’t owe us anything.”

Seeing that Qiao Yingxuan didn’t dare to blame himself even though he was not angry, and instead tolerated his temper respectfully, Qiao Yingze’s heart softened, and he reached out and patted Qiao Yingxuan’s shoulder.

“I know, brother, no one has told me these words before, brother, I always hope you can discipline me like this.”

Qiao Yingxuan obediently stood up straight and listened to the training, staring at his brother, although he could not change his likes and dislikes for a while, he would listen to his brother honestly.

“Okay, wait for me in the study for a while, I’ll leave after breakfast.”

Seeing Qiao Yingxuan’s aggrieved appearance, Qiao Yingze felt a little remorse in his heart, and his attitude toward him became milder, and the atmosphere between the two brothers improved significantly.

“Brother, I came here in a hurry in the morning, and I didn’t eat.”

Seeing that the situation was good, Qiao Yingxuan hurriedly climbed the pole to expand the victory. Seeing that Qiao Yingze agreed with a smile, he followed Qiao Yingze with a happy tail…

Therefore, it was rare for the three young masters of the Qiao family to gather at a dining table not because their grandmother summoned them, and they finished breakfast completely while their brother and sister-in-law took care of each other.

After the meal, not to mention the third young master who shouted that the second brother is terrible and then ran away in tears, the brothers Qiao Yingze and Qiao Yingxuan walked out of the Qiao’s house together in a peaceful atmosphere.

“Brother, I figured it out. It’s really narrow-minded for me to be angry with my younger brother because of my elders. Just like Zhuo Liang’s younger brother is a concubine, I like him very much… By the way, I wrote to Zhuo Liang’s younger brother every letter he wrote. Didn’t you return it to me?”

Before getting on the horse, the candle on Qiao Yingxuan’s head lit up, remembering what he was going to ask his brother about, so he courted Qiao Yingze who was about to enter the sedan chair.

“…No, let’s go.”

Originally, Qiao Yingze was in a good mood today. Hearing this, he could not help but pursed his lips and pressed the corners of his mouth. He turned around and sat in the sedan chair and let the sedan curtain fall. Then he thought that it was wrong to express his anger, while thinking about hiding himself from Gong Zhuoliang. The letter is destroyed as soon as possible.

No, it wasn’t hiding, it was the little daughter-in-law who told him not to read Qiao Yingxuan’s letter, so he put all those behind him!

“Oh.”

Qiao Yingxuan answered with a blink of an eye, and honestly turned on his horse and set off, wondering why his brother was suddenly in a hurry, there was still plenty of time.

The two met Gong Zhuoxiang in the courtyard of Qiao’s family. Received a handwritten letter that Gong Zhuoxiang asked him to forward to Gong Zhuoliang.

Qiao Yingze received the letter and returned to Qiao’s mansion with low pressure. He didn’t know that Qiao Yingxuan and Gong Zhuoxiang were chatting here, and the topic was brought to Gong Zhuoliang…
