MTL - Court Marriage-Chapter 74 One wave just flattened one wave after another
Gong Zhuoliang had instructed the servant before to tell the restaurant that he would be late for something, so after he came, the Qiao Yingze brothers did not ask more, but Gong Zhuoliang saw Qiao Yingxuan's gloomy look and asked Qiao Yingze about the progress of the matter with his eyes. , got a hint that the other party shook his head gently, it seems that the two of them still failed to make the old lady change her mind.
"Grandmother insists on going to Xingcheng, no matter how we persuade them, I will **** them to set off tomorrow, brother, don't worry, I will definitely settle them all before returning to Beijing, and I will definitely serve well and live up to everyone. expectations of me."
Qiao Yingxuan naturally saw the interaction between the two, and didn't want them to worry about him, so he put up a smile and took the initiative to comfort them, and then took the initiative to raise his glass to Qiao Yingze.
Qiao Yingxuan talked with his grandmother and mother separately for a long time today. He knew that the family was in a difficult situation. Like his grandmother, Qiao Yingxuan didn't want Qiao Yingze to work hard, so although he was reluctant to go to the north with his grandmother and mother, he now depends on his brother for his own life. I really don't have the qualifications to be self-willed, so I can only reluctantly agree to my grandmother's arrangement, thinking that I will bring my family into Beijing after I have established a firm foothold in Beijing.
"You can think that way."
After getting along for the day, Qiao Yingze also discovered his younger brother's transformation, and felt that he was much calmer and more rational than before. This made Qiao Yingze very happy, and he was relieved a lot for Qiao Yingxuan, so he drank his toast with a smile.
"I would also like to thank Liang'er's younger brother and sister-in-law. It is difficult to send charcoal in the snow. Your kindness will never be forgotten by Qiao Yingxuan."
Qiao Yingxuan filled the wine for himself and Gong Zhuoliang, and looked at him with eyes full of gratitude and complex affection, from simple and vague love at first, to giving up when they got engaged, and now deeply grateful... If I don't have to bear the burden How good it would be to have such a family, Qiao Yingxuan thought bitterly, after all, it was a miss.
"Brother Xuan is too outrageous, this is what the younger brother should do."
Gong Zhuoliang was thinking about Gong Zhuoyan in his heart. Hearing that, he just drank with Qiao Yingxuan happily and didn't notice his expression, but Qiao Yingze, who was sitting next to him, saw it, and his eyes moved between the two. The conversation brought the topic to the meal, so the three of them moved their chopsticks absentmindedly, and the meal was rather dull.
"Now that the matter is settled, then you should send a few servants to Xingcheng ahead of time today. The house must be bought first. As for the land property, forget it. For the money spent for two years, you can take the rest to the capital to buy some land and property, and then you two will live a life together, and the exchange of gifts is a big deal.
After the meal, Qiao Yingze took out the box that Gong Zhuoliang had prepared and pushed it to Qiao Yingxuan. Although it was a family, Qiao Yingze couldn't trust the character of his mother and those aunts. If anything goes wrong, it is better to let Qiao Yingxuan hold it, he believes that Qiao Yingxuan will not lose the family.
"elder brother…"
Qiao Yingxuan looked at the money box in front of him, and his eyes were already slightly red. Although he is much taller and stronger than Qiao Yingze now, in front of Qiao Yingze, he still feels that the other party is the one that people can trust and rely on.
Shaking his head and putting aside the consciousness of wanting to continue to rely on his brother, Qiao Yingxuan silently encouraged himself in his heart, it should be his own help to take care of it.
"These are not given to you for nothing. I will pay them back when I have enough money in the future. There is only one point. Father's lessons are there. When you become an official yourself, you must think clearly about what to do and what not to do... Yes If you don’t understand, write to me and ask me, or ask you Senior Brother Lu and Brother Gong to discuss it, and don’t act arbitrarily.”
Taking Qiao Yingxuan's shaking his head as meaning that he didn't want to ask for money, Qiao Yingze had to rebuke him a few more words. Although he wanted to make him grow up faster, it was difficult to be completely relieved, so he couldn't help but exhort him in the end.
"I know bro, don't worry."
Qiao Yingxuan nodded hurriedly. After receiving the money, he was rushed to the old lady's side by Qiao Yingze. He was going to leave tomorrow. He had too many things to arrange.
Originally, Qiao Yingxuan wanted to visit 'Gong Zhuoyan', but he was rejected by Qiao Yingze and Gong Zhuoliang on the grounds that he was seriously ill. He was worried that he would cause his brother's sadness again, so he didn't say anything to make them get back together as soon as possible. Sad to say goodbye and left.
"What a majestic brother."
After Qiao Yingxuan left, Gong Zhuoliang leaned his chin on the table and looked at Qiao Yingze with a smile. To be honest, every time he looked at Qiao Yingxuan with the appearance of a knight, he was obediently listening to the training in front of the thin and slender Qiao Yingze. Gong Zhuoliang felt very happy.
However, Gong Zhuoliang also has to admit that his little xianggong has that style, which makes him want to tear it down...
"If it's still early today, can you come and sit at my place?"
Qiao Yingze is still somewhat depressed about not sharing the same family name with Gong Zhuoliang, but from another perspective, because he is no longer inseparable as in the past, Qiao Yingze also sees more clearly how important Gong Zhuoliang is to himself, especially After a few days in a row, I couldn't sleep well...
"Um, okay."
Thinking that Ye'er was taking care of Gong Zhuoyan's mother and son, Gong Zhuoliang didn't rush to see them, and now Qiao Yingze was busy with Qiao's family, and it was not suitable for him to increase his burden, so Gong Zhuoliang did not rush to see them. Tell him what happened to Gong Zhuoyan, and after sitting for a while, catch up with Qiao Yingxuan and come to Qiao Yingze to discuss something, Gong Zhuoliang said goodbye and left to visit Gong Zhuoyan.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX "It's really fortunate that you can meet someone like your brother-in-law, Liang Er, you are blessed."
After the two siblings had dinner, Gong Zhuoyan dragged Gong Zhuoliang to talk about the past. After listening to him, it was almost the same as what the husband and wife had guessed. Gong Zhuoyan sighed in relief. , the guilt in my heart finally dissipated.
"Yeah, thanks to him... sister, do you have any plans in the future?"
The corners of his mouth twitched because of the word brother-in-law. Gong Zhuoliang hugged the little nephew in his arms, thinking that she was actually your sister-in-law.
Gong Zhuoliang's version of Gong Zhuoyan's explanation naturally puts all the credit on Qiao Yingze. After all, considering his age and previous personality, such a big change in a first-generation marriage is too abnormal. Gong Zhuoyan's mental state is too normal and too abnormal, Gong Zhuoliang is also faintly worried, after all, she is the lover who just died, shouldn't she be so calm and cheerful like now?
"I haven't thought about it yet. Liang'er, Xiao Xian'er and you are really good friends. In the past, except for me and your brother-in-law, whoever hugged him would cry."
Putting Gong Zhuoliang's question into the past, Gong Zhuoyan, who was leaning on the bed, looked at the child in her brother's arms tenderly and fondly, full of maternal love.
"Really? Xian'er is so pretty. Looking at her eyes and mouth, she looks exactly like her sister. I don't know, I thought she was a little girl."
Although the child is still young and has not grown, the facial features similar to the mother's are very distinct. Gong Zhuoliang feels very close to this little nephew, and when he sees Gong Zhuoyan's doting on the child, his original appearance hangs. Her heart was also relieved, she felt that since she had children to worry about, Gong Zhuoyan shouldn't do stupid things, right? You must know that in ancient times, women were proud of their husbands and widowhood. How many lives have been killed by this kind of thinking... With the strong character of a tomboy like Gong Zhuoyan, it should not be messed up.
"My nephew looks like an uncle, looking at you, I seem to see what Xian'er looks like when she grows up..."
Gong Zhuoyan's gaze shifted from the baby's face to Gong Zhuoliang's face, and she seemed to be insane for a while.
"Hehe, I also look a lot like my sister. By the way, did you take the child's name?"
Gong Zhuoliang was a little nervous when he saw it, and he changed the subject with a hurried smile. It was not the first time he saw the women's version of himself in the mirror. Gong Zhuoliang felt really weird. He was alone in his last life. But she has a sister who looks like a twin, which seems to be pretty good.
"Gong Jinxian, your brother-in-law is an orphan. He only remembers that his nickname is a polite character. He took our family's surname in the early years, so we both named our child this name."
Aware of her gaffe, Gong Zhuoyan lowered her eyes and smiled reluctantly, not letting Gong Zhuoliang see her complicated thoughts.
"Sister... ah, Xian'er is crying."
Hearing Gong Zhuoyan mentioning her brother-in-law, she thought it was her words that caused her sadness, and when Gong Zhuoliang didn't know how to comfort her, the little baby in her arms suddenly started to cry with a flat mouth. The child handed it back.
"He's hungry."
Gong Zhuoyan took the child and touched it in his quilt. Seeing that it wasn't wet, she put him on her chest. Seeing this, Gong Zhuoliang hurriedly took the opportunity to say goodbye and left.
"Xian'er, your uncle and uncle are very good people, and they will take good care of you in the future. Son, mother really hates you, but your father is still waiting for mother, mother can't let him be alone. go..."
After Gong Zhuoliang walked out of the room, Gong Zhuoyan caressed the little face of her son who was trying hard to breastfeed, and muttered a lot to him.
"Ye'er, you've been working **** my sister's side to take care of you for a few days. When the affairs of the Qiao family are over, I'll arrange for their mother and son to go elsewhere."
After leaving Gong Zhuoyan's room, Gong Zhuoliang was still a little uneasy, so he asked Ye Er, who stayed here, to warn him a few more words, thinking that when the matter of the Qiao family was over, he would send Gong Zhuoyan's mother and son to change their names first. She decides to go to live in another city, and when she has completed her plan, and then sees how she wants to resolve her grievances with the Gong family, it is understandable that she wants to come to Gong Zhuoyan.
"Don't worry, Young Master, Ye'er will take good care of Miss."
Ye Er smiled and arranged Gong Zhuoliang's clothes before sending him out of the door. She had already made up her mind that she couldn't let this real eldest miss spoil the young master's affairs.
Because he was busy seeing off Qiao's family, Gong Zhuoliang was busy with Qiao Yingze early the next morning, but he didn't see Mrs. Qiao for a few days, and found that she was very haggard. After Qiao Yuanyin's mother got on the carriage, she was silent and did not move at all, and all affairs were handled by Qiao Yingzi's mother, Sun, who didn't know, and almost thought she was the mistress.
Qiao Yingxuan was busy with things outside, and only thought that his mother was uncomfortable, the second concubine accompany him to take care of it, and the third concubine helped to manage. It's just that he got into the old lady's carriage without noticing.
Another concubine sat in the old lady's carriage with her young fourth son Qiao Yingran. When Gong Zhuoliang and Qiao Yingze came up, she turned her back to them and coaxed the child, while the old lady put her arms around Qiao Yingzi. Let them both sit opposite him.
"Zi'er, why are your eyes so swollen from crying? Come and show me."
After Qiao Yingze greeted the old lady, she saw that the third brother in her arms was so red and swollen that there were only slits in his eyes, so he hurriedly called him to his side and looked at him with some distress.
Qiao Yingzi is seven years old this year. The longer he looks, the more he looks like his beautiful and beautiful mother. The pink carving is very lovely. Because he was enlightened and taught by Qiao Yingze, the two brothers have been very close in the past two years. Seeing his pitiful appearance now, I was really impulsive to want to keep this child, but I was afraid that I would not be able to take care of him.
"Big brother, good brother..."
Qiao Yingzi looked at the two of them with bubbly eyes comparable to goldfish, pitifully about to start dropping gold beans again, but when he heard his grandmother sighing behind him, he hurriedly sat back obediently holding back his tears.
In Qiao Yingzi's heart, he couldn't bear the eldest brother and the second brother, but he was crying and making trouble for the past two days and wanted to stay. He didn't dare to tell others, so he could only endure it by himself. Qiao Yingzi knew that her mother wanted to replace her two brothers to stay by her grandmother's side, so that she could take the place of her mother in the future, but Qiao Yingzi really didn't want to be with the two Brother separated, woohoo...
"Grandmother, Zi'er is at the age of studying. The level in the north is much worse than that in the south and Beijing. It's not good if you delay. It's better to stay with me in Beijing, and you can do it with me."
The door of the carriage was opened, and Qiao Yingxuan, who was just about to ask the old lady for directions, was very reluctant to see his third brother like this. After sitting in, he hugged Qiao Yingxuan in his arms, and touched his tender and tender face soothingly.
"Yeah, grandmother, Zi'er is a smart one, and his future achievements may be better than the two of us as brothers. It would be a pity to delay."
When Qiao Yingze saw Qiao Yingxuan open his mouth, he thought about seeing that Sun's complacent look just now, so he also persuaded a few words.
Although they didn't want to stand up for Mrs. Qiao, they, as their sons-in-law, could not watch the prestige of the concubine overwhelm the mother-in-law, and leaving the third brother to stay with the second brother was not only good for the child, but also for Aunt Sun to weigh her own weight. , dare not mess around.
"Second brother..."
As soon as Qiao Yingzi was held in his arms by Qiao Yingxuan, it was as if he had finally gained support, and he would not let go when he hugged his neck. The fear of his mother was still not worth the trust in his brothers.
"That's it, it's up to you. In the future, your grandmother will not be by your side. You brothers should support each other and love each other."
The old lady watched the interaction of the three grandchildren, her originally serious face became kind and loving. She took the hands of the two grandchildren and held them together. She felt very satisfied. With such good grandchildren, the old lady treated her well. Not thin.
"Don't worry, grandma."
Qiao Yingze and Qiao Yingxuan looked at each other and smiled, and answered together, while Qiao Yingzi squinted his eyes to look left and right, and also learned to put his little hand in the old lady's hand, and responded timidly, making the old lady rare I have to hold him in my arms and call him a good grandson.
Gong Zhuoliang sat on the side and looked at the family with a smile. Seeing Qiao Yingze looking back at his ambiguous smile, he couldn't help but feel full. In the past, he was one of these people, and in the future, he will be reborn again. be one of them.
It wasn't until the old lady and the others were sent away that Qiao Yingze and Gong Zhuoliang returned to the city in a carriage. Along the way, Gong Zhuoliang told Qiao Yingze about Gong Zhuoyan, and Qiao Yingze also sighed when he heard the words, because he was inconvenient to appear now. Therefore, Gong Zhuoliang was asked to take care of their mother and son. As for how to deal with the Gong family, he suggested that Gong Zhuoliang write a letter to inform Gong Zhuoxiang of the matter.
Originally, Gong Zhuoliang and Qiao Yingze both felt that the Gong family deserved what they deserved, and they were already suffering by living like this, but now it seems that they will harm others, so they can no longer ignore it like this, they may not have the right to go. End someone else's life, but have the right to do so.
In the end, the two negotiated to let Gong Zhuoxiang avoid his sister. They just used Master Gong's current situation to get the opinion of the family. With the murder of the husband, the family can take care of Mrs. Gong's poisonous woman.
Back in Bocheng, Gong Zhuoliang was always a little uneasy in his heart. He didn't go to dinner with Qiao Yingze, but went to Gong Zhuoyan's small house alone, but when he knocked on the door, he found that the door was unlocked. She hurriedly pushed the door and ran in, only to see Ruo Lan, who was **** like a zongzi on the couch, and Gong Jinxian who was crying non-stop beside her, but Gong Zhuoyan had disappeared...
