"Daughter-in-law please greet mother-in-law."
Putting his hands on his left side and performing a blessing ceremony, Gong Zhuoliang smiled slightly and bowed his eyebrows obediently to Mrs. Qiao as a respectful gesture, but his expression was neither humble nor overbearing, and he was completely ladylike.
Speaking of it, this is also the result of Mrs. Gong's torture. Apart from working as a maid, the child of the deity learns various etiquette rules every day, which makes Gong Zhuoliang pretend to be decent now.
"Well, Mrs. Zhao is celebrating her full birthday this year, so the gift is two points higher than in previous years. You follow the list..."
Regarding Gong Zhuoliang's invitation, Mrs. An Qiao only took a glance at him, and then continued to order Aunt Sun beside her, who was also her dowry maid, the mother of the concubine eldest daughter Qiao Yuanyin to handle affairs, and then arranged some work for the housekeeper and daughter-in-law until there was a maid Come to tell that the old lady got up, and then she turned her attention to Gong Zhuoliang who had been the background for quite a while.
"It's time to serve in the old lady's courtyard. This is the sweet soup for the old lady. She said she wanted to eat it yesterday. You can take it."
After getting up and letting the servant girl tidy up her clothes, Mrs. Qiao pointed to the soup cup on the tray on the table, and seeing Gong Zhuoliang honestly picked up the tray and stood one step behind her, she walked out in style.
A cup of soup doesn’t really weigh much, but I can’t bear to walk with it all the time, especially Gong Zhuoliang’s body is only twelve years old, he is thin and has little strength, and he has to carry a big tray to keep up with Mrs. Qiao’s footsteps. Walking all the way to the old lady's yard, his arms were sore and limp, and he couldn't show it on his face, otherwise he would be called arrogant and tired of serving a bowl of soup for his grandmother, so he wouldn't Depressed to death.
"Let's do that."
Arriving at the dining room in the old lady's courtyard, Mrs. Qiao pointed to a place on the table, and the maid who was arranging dishes moved out of the place, and then took the tray from Gong Zhuoliang to arrange it, and it was Gong Zhuoliang who brought in the soup. Everyone knew about this incident, but it was really not something worth talking about, so they just ignored it.
After a while, the old lady came out, obviously in a very good mood, and the one who took Gong Zhuoliang's hand praised a few more words. After eating under the service of him and Mrs. Qiao, Mrs. Qiao said a few more things that cost more money. Mrs. Qiao made a decision on the matter, and then she took Gong Zhuoliang to leave. It didn't take much time to add up, and it was much easier than Gong Zhuoliang imagined. After Mrs. Qiao returned to her In the courtyard, Gong Zhuoliang learned to serve Mrs. Qiao a meal again. He was fully alert to Mrs. Qiao's troubles, but he didn't seem to take him seriously at all, and ate without wind or waves. After the meal, the table was removed, and Gong Zhuoliang's strength was in vain.
Gong Zhuoliang felt that his stomach was throbbing. This time, he really knew what it meant to be "I stood when someone was sitting, and I watched when someone was eating." What about pouring water on the dishes, I have to come here six times a day in the future, let him live!
"Since you are the eldest daughter-in-law in your family, you should learn how to manage the house. The Qiao family is different from your mother's family. The relatives and friends who come and go with you are all respectful of the rules. You should learn more by my side."
Asking the maid to change a table for Gong Zhuoliang to eat, Mrs. Qiao means that you don't have to go back, just stay with me honestly.
"My daughter-in-law knows."
With a face-like smile, Gong Zhuoliang blessed Mrs. Qiao, followed the maid to eat at the table in the outer room, and after the maid left the table, Gong Zhuoliang's stomach began to throb and hurt again...
There is nothing to say about the food in Qiao's Mansion, it is absolutely delicate and delicious, but these are too delicate, the plates and bowls are pocket-sized!
A small dish of char siew in honey sauce, three in total, a small cage of shrimp dumplings, four, a small dish of spinach with nuts, a few spinach topped with peanuts, a small bowl of pearl, emerald and white jade soup, not enough for Gong Zhuoliang to drink in two mouthfuls...
Gong Zhuoliang sipped the pimple soup with a spoon in his hand, choking speechlessly, thinking to himself, Qiao Yingze, Qiao Yingze, do you know that your little daughter-in-law is being abused, and I won’t get enough to eat if I’m a child laborer? woo woo...
And at this time, in Qiao Yingze and Gong Zhuoliang's Qinzhu Courtyard, the young lady was looking at a table of good dishes with a melancholy expression, wondering why the little daughter-in-law didn't come back...
Gong Zhuoliang stayed in Mrs. Qiao's courtyard for a whole day, and Mrs. Qiao neither beat nor scolded him, and didn't even bother to say a few words to him, but glanced at him with her arrogant and disgusted eyes when she had nothing to do. Then most of the time Gong Zhuoliang was treated like air, blatant mental abuse, but the poor Gong Zhuoliang was fined to stand for a day because he didn't have enough to eat.
Seeing that it was time for dinner, Mrs. Qiao sent someone over to say that she was tired, and they didn't need to serve her, Gong Zhuoliang heaved a sigh of relief in her heart, thinking that Mrs. Qiao would be able to eat early without having to go through this trip. Let yourself go back earlier, he can hardly stand up anymore.
Gong Zhuoliang didn't care about Mrs. Qiao's mental shock, but he couldn't bear the burden of starving his body'ah, he's still growing, let alone surpassing 185 after being so hungry, he would be thankful if he could reach 170!
After Mrs. Qiao's maid left, Mrs. Qiao leaned gracefully on the couch and let the maid beat her legs. Her eyes turned around Gong Zhuoliang, and she sat up slightly as if she had something to say. Gong Zhuoliang hurriedly listened. But before Mrs. Qiao could say anything, another servant girl came in to report, saying that the second master had returned, and now she came to greet Madam.
"Xuan'er is back, come in quickly, go for a horse race in the afternoon? Are you tired?"
Upon hearing Qiao Yingxuan's name, Mrs. Qiao immediately smiled, looked lovingly at the youngest son who came into the room, and beckoned him to sit beside her.
"Mother, my sister-in-law is here too, so I'm not tired."
Qiao Yingxuan entered the room with a big smile, the sweat on his forehead was not wiped off, and he smiled and bowed to Gong Zhuoliang, the sun was shining brightly.
"uncle."
Gong Zhuoliang smiled lightly and bowed back, envious of Qiao Yingxuan's freedom, he didn't know how long he would have to fight for it...
"It's getting colder, why are you still wearing such thin clothes? The waiters don't know how to add clothes."
Mrs. Qiao pulled Qiao Yingxuan to sit on the couch, wiped his sweat with her handkerchief, and complained while pinching his clothes, her love was undisguised.
"My son didn't wear it. He practiced martial arts and ran horses every day. If he wore too much, he would feel hot and uncomfortable."
Qiao Yingxuan took a big sip from the teacup handed by Mrs. Qiao, and excitedly told her about the fun things that happened today, which made Mrs. Qiao laugh non-stop.
"..."
Looking at Mrs. Qiao's way of booing and asking Qiao Yingxuan, Gong Zhuoliang thought of Qiao Yingze's lonely face, and remembered how Mrs. Qiao ignored Qiao Yingze when he and Qiao Yingze came to offer tea yesterday. I felt deeply upset for Qiao Yingze.
It is also your own, how can you be partial to this
"Mother, do you still have something to say to my sister-in-law? Why don't my son come over later?"
Unable to see clearly the expression of Gong Zhuoliang with his head down, Qiao Yingxuan couldn't help but take a second look. When he saw his brother yesterday, he felt that his spirit was much better. I think it was due to this little sister-in-law, and this little sister-in-law looks really nice. It was he who carried the door for his brother again, so he felt much closer psychologically.
"No, there's nothing else to do, Ze'er, you can go back first, Xuan'er will stay with your mother for dinner."
Seeing Qiao Yingxuan staring at Gong Zhuoliang, Mrs. Qiao frowned subconsciously, and seeing Gong Zhuoliang's 'twitchy' appearance, she felt even more displeased, so she sent him away first, and thought about how to let them Uncle and sister-in-law rarely meet...
Leaving Mrs. Qiao's courtyard, Gong Zhuoliang suppressed his smile, his eyes turned cold unconsciously, but when he saw Han Shu waiting outside the house, he immediately returned to normal, and walked towards her.
"Young Madam, are you alright?"
Han Shu also smiled when he saw Gong Zhuoliang coming out, and looked at him carefully, he didn't look like he had cried or been punished, the little girl finally let go of her heart.
"Okay, have you been waiting here for a long time?"
Gong Zhuoliang knew that he couldn't be kind when he was detained in the morning, so he asked Ruo Lan to go back and tell them not to wait in vain, and he would call them to pick him up when he returned.
"The young master saw that you hadn't come back after noon, so he asked Qiao Ming to look for the second master. The second master just came back early. The young master rarely took the initiative to look for the second master before."
Han Shu looked around and leaned over to Gong Zhuoliang and whispered in Gong Zhuoliang's ear. It seemed to be taking credit for his master, and he looked so cute with a smile showing his dimples.
"knew."
Gong Zhuoliang was amused by Han Shu's appearance, not to mention that he was a little moved, he knew that Mrs. Qiao would definitely give his new daughter-in-law a slap in the face today, and he was mentally prepared for the battle, and he didn't expect Qiao Yingze to help him at all. I didn't want to be saved by him in the end, and he just interrupted Mrs. Qiao's back move.
After returning to Qinzhu Courtyard, Gong Zhuoliang saw that Qiao Yingze was already waiting at the door of the room when he heard the news, and when he saw him, he looked at him carefully first, and he was relieved when he saw that there was nothing wrong.
Gong Zhuoliang blinked, ordered the maids to retreat, then closed the door by himself, and looked at Qiao Yingze with a pitiful expression.
"What's wrong? Mother punished you?"
Qiao Yingze was startled, and hurriedly pulled Gong Zhuoliang to him for a closer look, and his heart that had just been let go immediately lifted up again.
"I'm hungry."
Gong Zhuoliang spent a long time under Qiao Yingze's questioning, seeing that Qiao Yingze was really in a hurry, he spit out two words briskly.
"..."
Facing Gong Zhuoliang's small face with eight teeth showing in his smile, Qiao Yingze held his breath for a long time, then pinched the center of his brows helplessly, shook his head and smiled with a long sigh of relief.
"I'm so hungry, you don't know..."
Relying on his small size, Gong Zhuoliang hugged Qiao Yingze's waist, shaking him while complaining about what happened to him today, especially the two meals of cat food, he was still so hungry.
"sorry."
Quietly listening to Gong Zhuoliang's complaint, Qiao Yingze hugged him tightly, buried his face in his neck and said apologetically in a low voice.
"You didn't apologize to me. I will find everyone who is sorry to me, but he is your mother. I can consider trying to endure it as much as possible, and then find it on you."
Gong Zhuoliang patted Qiao Yingze's head reassuringly, although his tone seemed to be joking, but on Qiao Yingze's invisible face, there was a wicked chuckle.
He Gong Zhuoliang is greedy, but he never suffers.
"good."
Amused by Gong Zhuoliang's tugging tone, Qiao Yingze relaxed his arms and lowered his head to look at him, thinking that this person is really different, he is much younger than himself next year, but he has special ideas and personality, attracting his attention everywhere.
"I mean it..."
Gong Zhuoliang hummed to emphasize a sentence, but his words were interrupted by his own long belly groan. Qiao Yingze looked at his stomach in a daze, and then looked at his embarrassed little face with a smile on his face. Bigger, hurriedly asked the maid to bring in the prepared meals.
After eating and drinking to his heart's content, Gong Zhuoliang rolled comfortably on the bed and didn't want to get up at all. God knows that he was punished to stand for a day, his legs were swollen, and he felt so uncomfortable that he wanted to beat someone up.
"How about... let me give you a pinch."
Qiao Yingze looked at Gong Zhuoliang, who was tossing and turning dishonestly, with a headache, hesitated for a while, and went to the bedside in embarrassment. Unexpectedly, Gong Zhuoliang regained his energy when he heard this, and moved closer to him, his big eyes flashed and filled with Looking forward, so...
"There... um... a bit heavier... so comfortable... right, right... ah..."
After taking a bath, Gong Zhuoliang lay on the bed and hummed, while beside him, Qiao Yingze who was massaging his waist was already blushing. Through a thin layer of underwear, Qiao Yingze could clearly outline Gong Zhuoliang's slender body. The curves of her body... Uncomfortably moving her legs together, Qiao Yingze realized that she had a reaction.
"Sir, come back tomorrow, remember to do as I tell you."
Enjoying Qiao Yingze's service, Master Gong Zhuoliang deduced tomorrow's plan with the corners of his lips curled up, not noticing his little husband's abnormality for the time being.
"Um."
Although he didn't know what his little daughter-in-law was up to, the task assigned to Qiao Yingze was very simple, so he naturally did it without any objection.
"Sir, you are so kind!"
There was nothing wrong with thinking about it, Gong Zhuoliang turned over and wanted to praise Da Qiao, but found that his blushing was a little abnormal, and his sitting posture was...
Gong Zhuoliang narrowed his eyes slightly.
