Court Marriage - Chapter 36

Gong Zhuoliang listened to Ruo Lan’s report, because the answers were all according to what he and Qiao Yingze had imagined.

However, to be cautious, Gong Zhuoliang carefully reconciled Ruolan’s words in his reply to Gong Zhuoxiang, and told Gong Zhuoxiang what happened after he left in a confidant tone, saying that he was under the care of his sister, and his personality I became a little more cheerful. After my sister got married, I was kicked out of the house because I contradicted my mother-in-law. It was also because of my sister’s care that I had the money to go out to find a job. Later, I helped a nobleman by coincidence and got a lot of money, so I went back to Bocheng to look for it. My elder sister and brother-in-law helped buy some property, and I am now a disciple of a Huaben everyone, and I will not be able to leave the teacher until at least three years later, so the matter of going to Beijing cannot be done for the time being, and I am deeply regretful…

After compiling his own story, Gong Zhuoliang thought that he should not be too detached, so he added a few words of congratulations to the high school at the beginning. ‘s reply is complete.

With a sense of harmony, Gong Zhuoliang showed the edited manuscript to Qiao Yingze. Although Qiao Yingze felt that the missing words were very annoying, but he didn’t want to show that he was too fussy, he just changed a few words slightly sour and allowed Now, Gong Zhuoliang endured the smile on the corner of his mouth, and then went to copy it neatly, and finally explained that he was traveling with his husband in several southern provinces without a fixed place, and it might be inconvenient to communicate directly with Beijing and China, so Gong Zhuo If Xiang has a reply, he should send it to his brother-in-law first and let him pass it on.

After estimating the time difference between forwarding the letter and replying to the letter, Gong Zhuoliang’s letter was not sent through the post until mid-April, and it was already seven days later when it arrived in Gong Zhuoxiang’s hands.

“Good boy…”

Gong Zhuoxiang frankly confessed his thoughts and apologies in the letter, so he was very happy when he saw the missing words in the reply, and he was also relieved for his safety, but the more he looked down, Gong Zhuoxiang’s face His smile faded, and when he saw the last three-year period and the words of asking Qiao Yingze to hand over the letter on his behalf, his brows were already slightly wrinkled.

The young man in Gong Zhuoxiang’s memory, although literate, did not study hard, and did not have many opportunities to practice calligraphy. It was only during the half month that he was with him that he wrote a little more regularly, but now he has this letter in his hand. The words on the letter are full of air in Jun Xiu, with a faint demeanor, and the language is clear and careful. How could this be written by a thirteen-year-old boy?

Gong Zhuoxiang could feel the ambiguous and gentle feelings between the lines of this letter, but more like a kind of comfort… But if it is not written by Gong Zhuoliang, but some of the old things mentioned in the letter are only Only the two of them knew, and the Qiao brothers didn’t seem to have ulterior motives.

“Come on, call the captain of the guard.”

Putting the letter on the table, Gong Zhuoxiang gently stroked the writing on it with his fingers, and called the servant outside the door. After the person he was looking for came, Gong Zhuoxiang looked back from the letter, and said He gave the order coldly.

“Send a few people to Bocheng to find out what happened between the Gong family and the Qiao family. Don’t disturb them, you must find the whereabouts of Liang’er.”

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX received a reply from Gong Zhuoxiang again at the beginning of May. At this time, Gong Zhuoliang and Qiao Yingze had moved to their summer resort outside the city. Because Gong Zhuoliang’s voice was not very comfortable, they knew that it was time to change their voices, so this time they The servant girl who served personally only brought Han Shu, Ruo Lan, and Ye Er who knew the information. The affairs of the general manager fell on Qiao Ming’s head. As for the other servants, they were all arranged by Qiao Yingze to live in the far distance in the name of being clean. In the servant’s room, even the rough maid is not allowed to enter or leave the inner courtyard at will, and can only come in and work after being summoned.

Because Gong Zhuoliang’s magazine was about to be officially launched, Gong Zhuoliang’s reply only asked about some trivial matters in his life. Gong Zhuoliang didn’t pay much attention to him. He picked up some irrelevant rhetoric to deal with it, and concentrated his energy mainly. In the bookstore, and the rest of the time is full of teasing his wife, writing, voice practice, and sports. Almost every day is not free, but Gong Zhuoliang’s mood is getting better and better, and he is full of energy every day. .

Speaking of sports, Gong Zhuoliang himself likes jogging the most. He thinks that unless he played too crazy and couldn’t get up the next day, he would run for an hour in the park downstairs in the morning, freeing his brain to fly with his thoughts. I can often think of some wonderful storylines, and then I don’t feel tired after typing on the keyboard in front of the computer for a day, and I often run to the gym when I have free time. Otherwise, how can I maintain his good figure that makes countless men and women coveted.

However, this sport is not so convenient now. He can’t leave the inner courtyard as the hostess. He can’t be allowed to circle around the inner courtyard. He is not afraid of turning himself dizzy. Afraid to scare his little Xianggong.

Besides, it would seem unruly to be seen by the servants that he often stayed in the yard. Therefore, Gong Zhuoliang had to find a room by himself as a sports room. Because he did not dare to do anything too advanced, he only asked a carpenter to do it. The super simple and simple bicycle and punching bag for practicing boxing, as for the dumbbells, he used bricks instead, and he can do sit-ups, push-ups and other indoor exercises that do not require auxiliary equipment.

Therefore, Gong Zhuoliang replaced the previous jogging with Qiao Yingze, which is similar to Wu Qin Xi’s Yangshen Boxing. Then, while Qiao Yingze was taking a nap, he went to the exercise room to do exercise by himself. He persisted in this way for more than three months. Gong Zhuoliang has really achieved some results. At the very least, the soft flesh on his body that was raised by Qiao Yingze has now become a small muscle with smooth lines and tight lines.

Another point that made Gong Zhuoliang mixed is that in the past three months in the summer resort, he has grown a little taller. According to his own estimation, it is about 1.6 meters. But think about Mrs. Qiao, an official in the north. The young lady is tall and likes to wear thick-soled shoes. She especially likes to stand out from the crowd of southern maids and daughters-in-law. Gong Zhuoliang felt that she was safe until she grew to 1.7 meters. He has been well-raised. Qiao Yingze has not grown much in the nearly one year since he got married, about 1.75 meters. The clothes from last summer were obviously shorter than that, and Qiao Yingze himself also looked very good. Happy. Gong Zhuoliang also likes tall and tall people, and he is very much looking forward to Qiao Yingze being able to run around again.

“Miss, the account book that the slave sent to the bookstore is here.”

Ruolan’s knock on the door outside the door recalled Gong Zhuoliang’s thoughts of not knowing where he had wandered. With his upper body naked, he got off the wooden bicycle on the spot, took a towel and simply wiped his face and body. Sweat beaded, and then gathered the slightly loose hair behind his head and hung it in a high bundle, then put on the light blue thin coat next to Qiao Yingze loosely, and tied it casually with the belt around his waist. , Only then did he open his mouth and let Ruo Lan come in.

“Miss… Young Master, the ledger sent by Manager Zhou.”

Ruolan closed the door and turned over the screen, and when he saw Gong Zhuoliang hanging his hair and wearing Qiao Yingze’s clothes, he was slightly shaken, and then he changed his name with a chuckle and put the basic account book in his hand. , then thoughtfully picked up the fan to fan him.

“Steward Zhou came to deliver it in person again? Sister Ruolan is really a big face.”

Shaking her braid and letting Ruo Lan fan the other side again, Gong Zhuoliang leaned on the chair a little indifferently, and at this moment there was a teasing look on her unpainted face.

Unlike the timid and immature face of a timid girl a year ago, now his gradually growing facial features have revealed the edges and corners of a young man, and his appearance is more and more handsome, especially his eyes narrowed and the corners of his mouth smirked. , very fascinating.

“Master! Don’t make fun of Ruo Lan.”

Ruo Lan’s face blushed when she heard that, and she groaned with anger and helplessness, but the fan movement in her hand didn’t stop.

I don’t know what rumors the young master has heard from Qiao Ming. The general manager of the bookstore seems to have an interest in him, and he just came forward to communicate with him on his behalf…

Thinking of the young manager who looked fair and honest, but was actually a cunning businessman, the corners of Ruolan’s mouth bent unconsciously, but Gong Zhuoxiang’s noble appearance sitting on the horse with a smile suddenly flashed in his mind, Ruolan’s heart was full of surprises. Trembling, suddenly do not want to think about anything.

“Heh… This month’s results are obviously much better.”

Gong Zhuoliang also listened to Qiao Ming’s gossip and nonsense. Seeing that Ruo Lan was not in a high mood, he took it with a smile. He looked through the bookstore’s account books and Zhou’s report, and found that the young man was really a piece of shit. The good news of the business can actually implement his ideas so clearly and perfectly, and Shi Kang, who introduced him, really has a vision.

The two were talking when Qiao Yingze’s voice came from outside the door. Gong Zhuoliang then remembered that he had practiced today and Qiao Yingze had woken up from a nap.

“I’m here, sir, come in.”

Gong Zhuoliang hurriedly stood up and tidied up his loose clothes, then threw the account book into Ruo Lan’s hand, who was snickering because of him, and waited for Qiao Yingze to come in with a smile.

“Uncle, the servant should retire first.”

Ruo Lan took the account books and sorted them out, blessed Qiao Yingze who walked into the back room, and then withdrew from a smile, thinking that he was still a mighty uncle.

“Look at you, I’m sweating again.”

Seeing that the thin shirt on Gong Zhuoliang was already wet with sweat, Qiao Yingze put down the food box in his hand, took out a bowl of cool sour plum soup and put it on the table, then pressed Gong Zhuoliang to sit down to drink the soup, Then he opened his shirt and wiped his sweat with a towel.

Since Gong Zhuoliang was so busy all day long, Qiao Yingze felt that he was always idle and asked Gong Zhuoliang to take care of him everywhere. Gong Zhuoliang’s clothing, food and daily life.

“We didn’t practice in vain either.”

Gong Zhuoliang, who was drinking the sour plum soup, exhaled very comfortably, and then raised his arms to show Qiao Yingze his figure, well, although he still has bright white flesh because he can’t get the sun, at least we have clear texture and shape.

“…too skinny.”

Touching the little arm that was no longer soft and tender, Qiao Yingze pursed his lips and expressed his pity. In the end, under Gong Zhuoliang’s expectant gaze, he only uttered the three words that made him fall down, and then saw Gong Zhuoliang’s expression being taken by himself. After the blow was so weak, Qiao Yingze raised the corner of his mouth slightly, but then his expression turned helpless again, and told Gong Zhuoliang some bad news for them.

“Grandma told us to go back as soon as possible? Did you say why?”

After hearing this, Gong Zhuoliang sat up straight, turned his head and looked at Qiao Yingze suspiciously, thinking that the old lady had promised him to return to the main house at the end of August, and it was still a few days away.

“The person who reported the letter didn’t know either. He just said that his grandmother ordered him to come in a hurry. It should be an urgent matter.”

Qiao Yingze shook his head and said that he didn’t know, but he was a little worried. He didn’t know what happened to make his grandmother so anxious.

“Now that we can go home at night, let’s go back first, and let them pack up the other things before taking them back.”

Knowing that Qiao Yingze was worried about the old lady, Gong Zhuoliang readily agreed, and summoned Ruolan and Hanshu to wash and dress for him. After a while, a handsome and cheerful young lady was dressed as a dignified and beautiful young lady.

“Master, let’s go.”

Gong Zhuoliang, who had a low-pitched but magnetic and melodious voice, rang out, and Gong Zhuoliang, who was already skilled in switching between false voices and his own original voice, gave Qiao Yingze a funny wink, and then walked out with his husband, who was trying hard to hold back his laughter.

They rushed back to the house when it was dark. Gong Zhuoliang and Qiao Yingze didn’t have time to go back to their yard to rest, so they were invited into the sedan chair by the waiting servants, and they were carried by the sedan bearer all the way to the old lady’s yard. In the tense atmosphere in the house, Qiao Yingze’s face turned pale, and Gong Zhuoliang saw his unease, so he hurriedly pulled his hand to his lap and held it, soothingly touched him so that he would not worry.

The two walked into the old lady’s house, and saw Qiao Yingxuan kneeling in the center of the hall with her back straight, while the angry old lady was leaning on the couch to let the maids go, and Mr. Qiao sat down with a sullen face. She stared at Qiao Yingxuan with a look of hating iron for not being steel, and Mrs. Qiao had already swollen eyes and cried to tears.

Gong Zhuoliang and Qiao Yingze looked at each other in surprise, thinking that the news from Wenshu two days ago was still calm, what is this for today?
