Court Marriage - Chapter 54

“You look so bad, didn’t you sleep well last night?”

After Gong Zhuoliang closed the door and walked in, before he could speak, Qiao Yingze first reached out and stroked his eyes, where there were faint traces of dark blue.

“Well, I can’t sleep without hugging you, and I’m so angry with that person, my head still hurts.”

Gong Zhuoliang hugged Qiao Yingze and sat on the couch, feeling the warm and peaceful aura emanating from him, Gong Zhuoliang suddenly felt sleepy and his eyelids sank.

“Tired? Then sleep for a while, it’s still early.”

Seeing Gong Zhuoliang’s fatigue, Qiao Yingze took off his shoes and sat on the couch, leaning on the pillow to prop up his left leg, and then let Gong Zhuoliang lie on his side with the pillow on his lower abdomen, while he massaged him with his hands. head.

“Um…”

Gong Zhuoliang hugged his husband’s flexible waist and hummed comfortably, and with his eyes closed, he would go through all the talk, including the fact that Gong Zhuoxiang was going to host a banquet for them tonight. Xiang’s arrogance and domineering expressed deep dissatisfaction.

“His intentions are always for your good… Don’t worry about me being unhappy tonight. Your people and heart are mine, so why should I be angry with him?”

He deliberately hummed in a joking tone. In fact, this was also the conclusion Qiao Yingze had thought about for a long time last night. Given Gong Zhuoxiang’s family background, even his father would rush to please him, and he wanted asylum. Gong Zhuoliang is an easy thing to do, and Gong Zhuoliang now abandons him to himself, which is enough to prove that Gong Zhuoliang is sincere to himself, why should he bother his little daughter-in-law because of other people’s relationships?

“Xiang Gong, I love you so much!”

Gong Zhuoliang is really touched, where can I find such a good and reasonable wife? Compared with that gentleman on the surface but actually aggressive, my wife is really gentle and considerate, and she is a high-ranking judge!

“You… go to sleep honestly.”

Seeing Gong Zhuoliang’s eager eyes, his face turned red. Qiao Yingze was embarrassed to say these love words in broad daylight, so he hurriedly pressed his head back to his stomach, but unexpectedly Gong Zhuoliang put his face on his own crotch. , Qiao Yingze was excited and hurriedly pulled him up again, and finally he lay down with him and fell asleep together.

At the dinner that day, Gong Zhuoxiang’s attitude towards Qiao Yingze was unexpectedly kind. Instead, he looked at Gong Zhuoliang with a more serious look. Gong Zhuoliang wasn’t sure what idea this man was playing, but he was also happy that he didn’t take it anymore. His own parents are self-identified, drinking and eating happily on the face, and thinking about how to see the tricks in their hearts.

Originally, when Qiao Yingze first met Gong Zhuoxiang, he admired his talent and knowledge, but later, because of Gong Zhuoliang’s relationship, he felt a little rude to him, and now he knew that Gong Zhuoliang did not treat him well. In other thoughts, seeing him take the initiative to get close and make friends, Qiao Yingze’s attitude also softened. In addition, both of them are well-educated people, and they have different opinions on government affairs. Zhuo Liang and Qiao Yingxuan were put aside.

“I’m the most impatient to listen to these kinds of knowledge, it’s a headache.”

Qiao Yingxuan made a face at Gong Zhuoliang by pointing at his head and whispered into his ear to complain, thinking that at the beginning he had only imagined that Senior Brother Lu would take martial arts exams like that of Senior Brother Lu, but unfortunately his parents did not agree with the future of a certain general. , I have to force him to study to seek a civil service background, but he is really impatient to nibble on books all day, and he is still a child. Even if the family did not let go, even if he went to the imperial court, he would not be recognized for his qualifications.

“I’m also impatient.”

Gong Zhuoliang chuckled lightly when he heard the words, and whispered something in Qiao Yingxuan’s ear, but he saw Qiao Yingze’s glance from the corner of his eye, and hurriedly sat upright, bowed his head and acted honestly, but Qiao Yingxuan’s reflex arc was not as sharp as his. , still smirking there.

“By the way, Brother Lu also explained that he will be the host for the next hunting. There is his family’s house near the hunting ground. We can also set up a bonfire to roast game there, which is unique.”

Qiao Yingxuan, who was stepped on by Gong Zhuoliang, came to his senses and saw that Gong Zhuoxiang was sitting on the top looking at him with a smile, while his brother was already squinting and staring at him. When he found out, he quickly changed the subject and brought it up to the hunting appointment he had made before, but his face was neither red nor astringent, it could be seen that his face was much thicker than his brother’s.

“That’s going to trouble Brother Lu, but Brother Qiao Xian, why don’t we go and play together.”

Gong Zhuoxiang followed Qiao Yingxuan’s words, then turned to Qiao Yingze and invited him again with a smile.

“This… my little brother is not good at riding and shooting, I’m really afraid that it will ruin everyone’s interest.”

Qiao Yingze smiled bitterly when he heard the words. He couldn’t run without the physical strength to draw a bow, and following him out would only make everyone unable to have fun, it was just a drag.

“I can’t say that. Going out for a walk and having fun, even if I can’t go hunting in person, I feel comfortable and happy. Although it is good for a scholar to be polite and polite, it is also very refreshing to drink and eat meat like the warriors occasionally. , brother, may wish to give it a try.”

Gong Zhuoxiang dared to invite him because he had checked Qiao Yingze’s physical condition in detail. In his opinion, Qiao Yingze was only born weak, but there was no serious disease that could not be cured for a long time. When it came out, didn’t it mean that he hasn’t been seriously ill since he got married, and now he looks thinner, but he doesn’t look unhealthy at all.

“This…”

Qiao Yingze was a little moved by what he said, but he was worried that his body could not bear it, so he subconsciously turned his eyes to Gong Zhuoliang, wanting to hear his opinion, but Gong Zhuoxiang’s eyes moved between him and Gong Zhuoliang, calmly. Can’t see any turbulence.

“What my cousin said is that it’s good for my brother-in-law to go out to relax. I think they are going to ride directly there. Why don’t we meet Brother Lu at the village, let’s start early and walk slowly on the road. that is.”

Gong Zhuoliang remembered that the road leading to the hunting ground in the western suburbs was very smooth, and it would not be too hard to take a carriage. In addition, he had long intended to go out on an outing with Qiao Yingze. Now that there are so many people of his age together, it would be more lively and interesting, so he nodded. Agree.

However, Gong Zhuoliang was really puzzled by Gong Zhuoxiang’s attitude, so the small tentacles on his head called vigilance flashed out, and he watched Gong Zhuoxiang’s actions vigilantly.

“If that’s the case, then there’s work.”

Seeing that Gong Zhuoliang also agreed to this matter, Qiao Yingze readily agreed, and he was really looking forward to tomorrow’s trip. Apart from riding horses and hunting rabbits with Gong Zhuoliang when he was in Zhuangzi, he really didn’t participate. Have an event like this.

“It’s great brother to go too, brother, let me tell you, our hunting is interesting…”

Hearing that Qiao Yingze was also going to play together, Qiao Yingxuan was very happy. He excitedly told a lot of interesting stories about their hunting in the past. The other three also listened happily. This dinner was really enjoyable.

After the banquet, Qiao Yingxuan went to the Lu Mansion to inform him about it and left first, while Gong Zhuoliang and the three separated after arriving at the gate of Qiao Mansion. Qiao Yingze entered the Qiao Mansion alone, and Gong Zhuoliang and Gong Zhuoxiang returned. Small house.

But this time, Gong Zhuoxiang didn’t bother any more. After taking a bath, he went into the back room to rest. This made Gong Zhuoliang feel a lot more relaxed while he was confused. The undershirt slipped into the bed, and with the help of alcohol, I slept soundly that night.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX The next day, the four of them were ready to meet again at the Qiao Mansion. After having breakfast together, they were accompanied by two guards and went out. , along the way, everyone walked unhurriedly. When encountering a good scene, Qiao Yingze could also ride a horse to take a look. He was very interested, but he made the two guardians Gong Zhuoliang and Qiao Yingxuan hold tight. Very, carefully watching from left to right.

When the four of them arrived at Lu Zijian’s Zhuangzi, their sons and masters had already run a few laps and came back. Now everyone happily had lunch together, and after taking a nap, they all ran into the hunting grounds.

After everyone finished talking, they all dispersed, leaving only Lu Zijian, the host, to accompany the Qiao family and the Gong family brothers.

Gong Zhuoliang himself is a half-hearted archer, and he is incomparable with Lu Zijian and the other masters. It can still be used to teach Qiao Yingze. At the moment, regardless of Lu Zijian and Qiao Yingxuan’s jokes, he still enthusiastically taught Qiao Yingze to shoot arrows. Others were not allowed to intervene, and Qiao Yingze always smiled and let him play, even though he knew that he was the worst in riding and archery among the others except himself, but he didn’t seem to dislike it at all.

Gong Zhuoxiang observed the two of them intently, and naturally saw the tacit understanding between their words and deeds clearly. Although there were some complicated emotions in his heart, his face was not obvious. He only paid attention to the safety of the surroundings. The beasts of the people and horses will shoot first, and the arrows and arrows are all straight to the point of death, which is really indescribable and extraordinary.

Qiao Yingxuan, who is natural, can’t see the waves in it, and still circles around Gong Zhuoxiang with his tail wagging in admiration, while Lu Zijian, who is pretending to be serious, has his eyelids jumping and feels weird. He thinks he sees something amazing. The JQ secret, and looking at the dead beasts who were dragged away by the servants, also strengthened his determination not to go to Gong Zhuoxiang’s side.

No matter what ideas were in their hearts, in short, the relationship between Gong Zhuoxiang, Qiao Yingze, and Gong Zhuoliang became more and more harmonious. That night, everyone had a lively meal of their own roasted game, and then they dispersed and rested. Because Lu Zijian’s house was not enough, except for Gong Zhuoxiang, who had the highest status, he shared a room for two or three people. Lu Zijian also laughed at Gong Zhuoliang’s request to share a room with Qiao Yingze. Hehe covered Qiao Yingxuan’s mouth and agreed, and then dragged someone who protested and wanted to sleep with his brother and Liangliang into his house for guidance and education.

As a senior brother, Lu Zijian really feels that he has a long way to go.

This time, Gong Zhuoxiang also went to sleep without any objection, but Gong Zhuoliang and his husband were a little confused about what medicine he was selling in the gourd, so they lost their affectionate thoughts, and Qiao Yingze After a long day of exhaustion, he felt sleepy after taking a bath and laying down. Gong Zhuoliang was afraid that his muscles would be sore the next day, so he patiently massaged him carefully before he hugged him and fell asleep.

The next day, when Qiao Yingze got up, he lost the energy to play, Gong Zhuoliang stayed with him and continued to rest, while the others played happily for a long time before returning to the city together in the afternoon. It was a one-way trip again, and the four of them had dinner together in the West Mansion before dispersing.

In the small courtyard of the XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX inn, Mr. Gong, who came by appointment, sat nervously in the hall, remembering the cold eyes of those guards, he couldn’t help wiping the fine sweat on his forehead with his cuff, and he had six points with Gong Zhuoliang. The similar face was full of apprehension, and his heart was already in a mess.

Since the day his youngest son Zhuo Liang cut off the father-son relationship with him, Master Gong has never had a good night’s sleep, and he wanted to explain to them both, but that fact was not what he wanted, but it was because of the tigress. He didn’t dare to show his majesty, and when he saw the eldest young master of the Gong family last year, he knew that this man had a heart for his son, and since then he was hesitating whether he should ask this man for help.

Grandpa Gong’s grandfather was split from the concubine of the main family and belonged to a small branch family. His father and Gong Zhuoxiang’s grandfather were also cousins. Although they were not close, they were also serious relatives of the same clan and family. Qiao’s family is powerful. If Liang’er can get the protection of the eldest young master, he will be able to get rid of his current aggrieved and embarrassing status, and he will be able to marry a wife and have children in the future. Seeing death without help… Master Gong’s heart was pounding, and the sweat on his forehead became more dense.

As soon as Gong Zhuoxiang walked into the living room, what he saw was the cowardly look of Master Gong sitting in the chair with his body hunched over. He didn’t even realize that he had come in, but his face, which was similar to Liang’er, was pale. Full of tension, there was no trace of the person’s expression.

A trace of disgust flashed in Gong Zhuoxiang’s eyes, but it was quickly replaced by ruthlessness. He raised his hand slightly, and the guard behind him stepped out of the room and closed the door heavily, scaring the room. Master Gong fell to his knees with a ‘plop’.

“What is Uncle Tang doing? How can Xiao Tuo afford such a gift from you?”

Gong Zhuoxiang said coldly and walked slowly past Master Gong’s side, and then sat down with a blanket of clothes on the main seat, which means he couldn’t bear it at all.

“Tang Tuo… The eldest young master, the eldest young master has killed the villain.”

Just as Mr. Gong raised his head with a trembling voice, as soon as he met Gong Zhuoxiang’s icy gaze, he lowered his head in fright, and became even more flustered. Recently, I have been living in my youngest son’s house. Master Gong’s first reaction was what Gong Zhuoliang said to him!

“Hmph, you guys are so courageous, how dare you do such a scandalous thing, don’t you even want a head on your neck? You still haven’t explained everything to this officer honestly!”

Gong Zhuoxiang saw that Master Gong had completely changed his face, and immediately slammed the table, swept the teacup in front of him and smashed it, making a loud noise…
