"Ying Xuan... is the best person in this family except for my grandmother. He is bright and generous, yet considerate. Everyone in the family likes him."
Lying down on his back and looking at the top of the bed, Qiao Yingze evaluated his younger brother objectively.
"Then your relationship is very good?"
Remembering what Qiao Yingxuan said to him when he entered the door, Gong Zhuoliang propped himself up on his side and looked down at Qiao Yingze, a little envious of their brothers.
He is an only child. After his parents divorced, each of them had a new family. He also had younger siblings of different parents. But those two children looked like thieves to him when they were young, and they had no contact with each other after they grew up. So Gong Zhuoliang was very sad. I envy those brothers and sisters who have a good relationship.
"I have been in poor health since I was a child, and he has always grown up in front of my mother. I don't have many opportunities to meet me, but he always likes to sneak into my grandmother's yard to play with me. I want to play with him too, running and running like him. Jumping, but once it was useless and fainted, scared him sick and caused him to be scolded by his grandmother. My mother lost her temper and forbade him to come to me again, saying that I gave him the sickness... "
Thinking of what happened when he was a child, a smile appeared on Qiao Yingze's face, but it gradually became bitter again.
"What do you mean you give him your sickness, your mother... How could your mother-in-law say that?"
Qiao Yingze's words reminded Gong Zhuoliang of his own mother, and for a moment he snorted in unison. He remembered that when he was a child, he hugged his half-brother once, but was beaten in the corner of his eye by the crying child. Carefully threw him onto the sofa, but his own mother slapped herself without saying a word. After that, Gong Zhuoliang never touched her son again.
"Mother... also loves my brother."
The son didn't say anything about his father's fault, Qiao Yingze didn't dare to blame his parents for being partial, he just blamed himself for not being what they wanted, even if he worked hard and passed the scholar's exam and won the Juren, it's not as good as Zixuan passed the child's test to make them happy.
"But... Forget it, what about after that?"
Gong Zhuoliang was still a little bit upset for Qiao Yingze, wanting to say that she is also a real mother, why doesn't she know how to love you! But remembering that in this era when the word filial piety is too big, it is taboo for children to talk about their parents' faults, so I no longer express any personal opinions on Mrs. Qiao.
"Later I wanted to study and moved out of my grandmother's yard, and he came to play with me secretly. I said that I wanted to study and ignored him. In addition, I was a teacher hired by my grandmother to teach at home, but he was sent to After learning about ethnology, gradually, there will be fewer exchanges.”
Seeing that Gong Zhuoliang pursed his lips to be unfair for him, Qiao Yingze's bitterness eased a lot, and he looked carefully at Gong Zhuoliang's eyebrows, thinking that this is his little daughter-in-law, he is for her... that's great.
"I think he treats you well."
Gong Zhuoliang had a good impression of Qiao Yingxuan, and Qiao Yingze's tone of voice didn't dislike this younger brother, but with such a eccentric mother, Qiao Yingze would inevitably have grudges in his heart.
"Well, when he got good things these years, he would always think of giving me a copy. In front of others, he has always maintained my brother very well."
For this younger brother, Qiao Yingze's attitude has always been indifferent. Although he will not be angry with him because of his parents' attitude, but facing his chic and proud, his mood will still be very complicated, so he always alienates him intentionally or unintentionally. However, Qiao Yingze would not speak ill of him against his will.
"Since this is the case, then you brothers should be closer to each other. Why bother with other people's attitudes? People who treat you well are worthy of your care."
Listening to Qiao Yingze's meaning, you can tell that Qiao Yingxuan is the most valued person in this family. Gong Zhuoliang doesn't know how long he can stay in this family, so to build a good relationship between the two brothers and provide Qiao Yingze with a layer of security, that's what Gong Zhuoliang can do now. His reward.
"Zhuo Zhuo, you seem to have a good impression of Xiang Xuan."
After hearing Gong Zhuoliang's words, Qiao Yingze lowered his eyes and remained silent for a while, then replied in a statement tone.
"It's okay, he's your younger brother, and he treats you well. I think he should be able to get along well."
Blinking his eyes, Gong Zhuoliang replied with a natural expression, and then muttered in his heart, these words are sour.
"Um."
Qiao Yingze looked at Gong Zhuoliang, smiled lightly, and changed the topic to his concubine sister and brother, without mentioning Qiao Yingxuan again.
The two chatted leisurely in the room all afternoon, until it was a little dark, they got up and tidied up briefly. After dinner, Qiao Yingze went to the study to read, and Gong Zhuoliang was accompanied by Wen Shu, Han Shu and Ruo Lan After checking the warehouse in his yard, it was completely dark when he collected the account books and keys and returned to the room. Qinghua and Yuhua were preparing hot water and bathing supplies.
Do you want to help Qiao Yingze take a bath? Still want to be together
Seeing that Qiao Yingze told the maids to put away their things and leave, Gong Zhuoliang looked at the steaming tub, then at the young gentleman who was blushing, and stroked his chin as if thinking.
"You wash first."
Qiao Yingze was very uncomfortable being looked at by Gong Zhuoliang, he shifted his gaze and wanted to exit the bathroom, but saw that Gong Zhuoliang pulled the hairpin and scattered the bun that he had simply combed before, and then took off only his underwear, Qiao Yingze couldn't help but be dumbfounded He stood there dumbfounded.
"Let me serve my husband and wash first."
Feeling molested by Qiao Yingze's shy appearance, Gong Zhuoliang rolled up the sleeves of his coat to pull off his clothes, Qiao Yingze was so blushed that he was about to smoke, and he managed to break free with a lot of strength. While escaping from the bathroom, he asked Gong Zhuoliang to wash first, which made Gong Zhuoliang laugh.
After taking a hot bath happily, Gong Zhuoliang let his hair loose and changed into new underwear, and then came out wearing only a light blue bathrobe. I don't know if it was because of a change in temperament, he lost his cowardice and inferiority complex , Gong Zhuoliang, who was no longer concealed by makeup, looked heroic on his small face.
"Zhuo Zhuo..."
Qiao Yingze froze for a moment when he saw Gong Zhuoliang's appearance after taking a bath. Facing his refreshing smile, he couldn't help showing a smile. Speaking of which, this was the first time Qiao Yingze saw Gong Zhuoliang without makeup. It has lost the exquisite perfection of last night and today's daytime, but it looks more energetic and lively, and it is also very beautiful.
"I asked them to change the water."
There is another door leading out of the bathroom, and the maids will not disturb them by coming in and out. Gong Zhuoliang, who is comfortable in the bath, just wants to have a good sleep now, so he casually wipes his hair and walks to the bed and sits down, but suddenly Smelling the smell of bitter medicine, Gong Zhuoliang looked left and right and found it on the bedside table.
"What's this?"
Wrinkling his nose in disgust, Gong Zhuoliang covered his mouth and nose with a bath towel and retreated to Qiao Yingze, thinking that this must not be for himself!
"It's the medicine I drink to relieve depression and calm the nerves."
It was interesting to see Gong Zhuoliang's whole face wrinkled together, Qiao Yingze reached out and pinched his nose, and then he was stared at.
"Are you insomnia? I didn't seem to see you drinking last night."
When Gong Zhuoliang heard the effect of the medicine, he thought of the sedatives and sleeping pills that Hyundai prescribes for those with insomnia or mental illness. He looked at Qiao Yingze with some doubts, thinking that he didn't smell the medicine on him last night.
"A while ago, I couldn't sleep at night, thinking wildly. It was better after drinking this medicine, so I kept using it. Yesterday was a day of great joy. The medicine was unlucky, so I stopped for a day."
Seeing that the medicine was already warmed up, Qiao Yingze wanted to drink it, but was stopped by Gong Zhuoliang with a frown.
"Didn't you sleep well last night?"
Gong Zhuoliang remembered that Qiao Yingze's face was pretty good this morning, not like someone with insomnia, since he can fall asleep, it's better not to take medicine, not to mention that the medicine is three-point poisonous, just smelling the smell Gong Zhuoliang will soon Vomited.
"It's..."
Qiao Yingze thought so too, he slept more peacefully than usual yesterday, and he woke up in good spirits today, but I don't know if it's the accumulated effect of the medicine.
"Then don't eat it for now. It's not good to rely on this thing. Let's talk about it if you really can't sleep."
As Gong Zhuoliang said, he asked Qinghua who was changing the water in the bathroom to take the medicine away. Seeing Qinghua looking at Gong Zhuoliang timidly, he remembered that the master hadn't said anything, so he decided to act arbitrarily.
"Listen to Madam."
Seeing Gong Zhuoliang's self-contained decision and self-contained instigation of the servant girl, Qiao Yingze didn't feel unhappy at all. Instead, he took Gong Zhuoliang's bath towel and wiped his hair for him in a good mood, and his tone was a little doggy. the taste of…
Qiao Yingze liked the feeling that someone cared about him.
"..."
Gong Zhuo Liangchao wanted to touch Qiao Yingze's head and say that he was so good, but he still restrained his smile sensibly, until Qinghua took the medicine and withdrew, then stretched out his hand to pinch Qiao Yingze's face, thinking that you are obviously a man Ah, why do I still think you are so cute? So cute!
The two quarreled for a while, and when Qiao Yingze came out from the bath, Gong Zhuoliang was already lying on the bed in a daze, feeling that the light in the room had dimmed, Gong Zhuoliang moved in, and felt Qiao Yingze was beside him After lying down, he closed his eyes and rubbed over, stretched his legs and folded his arms, and nestled on Qiao Yingze's body, ready to continue sleeping.
"Zhuo Zhuo, as I said before, I haven't bitten yet."
Being hugged by Gong Zhuoliang, after Qiao Yingze hesitated and hesitated, he still whispered a reminder in Gong Zhuoliang's ear that he was actually... looking forward to it.
"Oh... okay."
Gong Zhuoliang was delighted when he reminded him, squinting his blurry sleepy eyes, and opened Qiao Yingze's neckline to reveal the delicate skin, Gong Zhuoliang licked his lips, and bit down on Qiao Yingze's left collarbone, thinking that the taste was better than that of Qiao Yingze's. Thinking even better, she grinded her teeth again, leaving two powder marks before letting go, then tore off her collar, and tilted her neck to signal Gong Zhuoliang to bite casually.
Qiao Yingze was itchy and numb from being bitten by Gong Zhuoliang, and he couldn't avoid it after holding back a smile. Seeing his delicate neck exposed in front of him, Qiao Yingze leaned over and opened his mouth slightly, but he was not willing to bite. Putting her lips on her neck and kissing it lightly, she blushed and hugged Gong Zhuoliang into her arms and lay down, then pretended to be asleep and ignored Gong Zhuoliang's laughter.
I don't know if it was because he was accompanied by someone so he could calm his mind down. Qiao Yingze also fell asleep quickly this night. He was usually awakened by the slightest sound in his light sleep, but this time he was pressed by a heavy weight all night. woke up.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX was still awakened before dawn, and Gong Zhuoliang rolled around on the bed with his arms around the quilt depressed for a long time before Qiao Yingze coaxed him to get up reluctantly.
Let the maids wash and change their clothes, and then they didn't even eat breakfast, they just stuffed two pieces of pastries for the bottom, and Wen Shu led them to Mrs. Qiao's yard to wait, and then went to the old lady's place to say hello.
This dynasty now also has three meals a day, and in Qiao's house, Mrs. Li Qiao has to serve three meals a day at the old lady's first, and the aunts are not even qualified to show up.
After the old lady finished eating, Mrs. Qiao could go back to her yard to eat, and then the aunts would serve her by the side, and after she finished eating, they would go back to their own rooms to eat, and now that Gong Zhuoliang came, those aunts would all be As a decoration, Gong Zhuoliang, the daughter-in-law, came to serve her mother-in-law...
"..."
After listening to Wen Shu's detailed explanation of the house rules, Gong Zhuoliang gestured his middle fingers in his heart, and got ready to fight with Mrs. Qiao.
