"Yes, Liang'er is about to become an adult."
Aunt Wu touched Gong Zhuoliang's face, her tone was emotional and gratifying, and the expression on her face was no longer worried, but showed deep pity.
"I can't hide this... Mother, do you have a solution?"
Thinking of the possible scenes during his voice-changing period, Gong Zhuoliang shuddered first, but seeing Aunt Wu didn't seem to be worried, he held Aunt Wu's hand instead in a heartbeat.
"I'm afraid Liang'er doesn't know that when she was an oiran for her mother, the skill that made her famous was ventriloquist."
Aunt Wu smiled bitterly. Obviously, the past was not a memorable memory for her, but when she talked about ventriloquist, her eyes lit up slightly. The cheerful birdsong poured out, and in a blink of an eye it turned into the sound of drum music, followed by the male version of opera singing.
"Wow… "
Gong Zhuoliang sighed softly, and was about to raise his hands to applaud, but fortunately, he realized that the scene was wrong and stopped immediately, and the eyes that looked at Aunt Wu immediately became worshipful.
If this appearance and this level were placed in modern times, it would be a national treasure-level performing artist, which is a pity.
"Pfft... After my mother was kidnapped and sold, I didn't know anything about my family's past, but I only remembered that my father was good at ventriloquist, so I learned this extra, but I didn't expect to become famous because of it."
Amused by her son's amazed appearance, Aunt Wu couldn't help touching his face again, remembering that she lived in the same house in the past but couldn't even take a look at it, now that she is far away, she has the opportunity to be so close As she spoke, Aunt Wu couldn't help being sad again.
"Will mother teach me this?"
After lamenting, Harem Zhuoliang is entangled. It is good to be able to learn unique skills, but to learn well, you must not work hard. Gong Zhuoliang has only been interested in books in his two lifetimes, and he is still a miscellaneous book of "doing nothing", so even if he has a unique skill now Putting it in front of him, he still has no motivation to learn.
"Boys, what do you want to do with this unapproachable acrobatics? You can just practice a fake female voice."
Taking Gong Zhuoliang's expression as a dislike for these acrobatics, Aunt Wu can only be happy about it. In this era when only high-level students are educated, if Gong Zhuoliang is good at ventriloquism, Aunt Wu will feel that he is a plaything and loses his mind. Promising.
"Is that difficult to practice?"
Gong Zhuoliang's eyes lit up this time, the fake female voice is really cool.
Can you practice like the famous artist who sang the drunken concubine? As a rotten writer, Gong Zhuoliang was teased by fans at the beginning, so he was so cute for a while.
"Find out the tone of your falsetto first, and then practice your voice according to this tone. It will be hard at first, but falsetto is only used for ordinary speech, and it is relatively easy. I am worried that you will get used to falsetto in the future, and you will forget it. own original sound."
Aunt Wu couldn't help but hugged Gong Zhuoliang in her arms, she really wished she could not let go of it anymore, she is useless as a mother, if he were to fall into such a predicament at such a young age, Qiao Is it easy to get along with a rich family like my family? She shuddered at the thought of her son's situation.
"Mother, don't worry, I will take care of myself."
Gong Zhuoliang didn't have this concern, he could use the original voice in front of his little husband, but felt that Aunt Wu was full of love and concern for him, Gong Zhuoliang's heart warmed up, and he became more cordial to this strange woman feel.
"Well, it's really inconvenient for you to only use Ruolan over there. Ye'er has already learned nine points of my skills, and now I give her to you. She cares about voice maintenance and things that girls' parents should pay attention to. Clearly, I will be able to help you."
Aunt Wu waved to the girl who was standing with her head bowed, and the heroic girl walked over and knelt down in front of Gong Zhuoliang.
She is an orphan raised by Aunt Wu since she was a child. She is kind-hearted and firm, and she knows how to repay her kindness. Aunt Wu also really likes her, so she dared to send her to her son.
"Thank you, mother. It's just that it's not convenient for me to take Ye'er there now. I'll find a chance to take Ye'er over after I settle Ruozi's matter during the Chinese New Year."
Gong Zhuoliang now always has a rewarding purse in his sleeve, at this time he took a heavier one and handed it to Ye'er, and he accepted her as a maid.
"Ye'er grew up by my side. In order to protect me, she developed a stubborn temper, but she really loves others. Let her stay by your side for two years. Take care to find a good family for her." .”
Aunt Wu originally raised Ye Er as a child bride-in-law, thinking that she would be assigned to Gong Zhuoliang in the future, and she would know how to love her husband when she was three years older. Now that things have happened, she can't mention it anymore, and she doesn't want to wrong Ye Er, and entrusted her to Gong Zhuoliang. It is better for Zhuo Liang to find someone else than to have no connections in the Gong family.
"My son knows."
Gong Zhuoliang looked at Ye'er whose eyes were reddened by Aunt Wu's words, nodded in agreement, chatted with Aunt Wu for a few more words, and brought Ruo Lan and Ruo Zi back to the hot spring village.
Before, Qiao Yingze had clearly ordered the village not to discuss the matter of the little uncle. After a long time, everyone had forgotten about this character, and no one would specifically mention it in front of Ruozi, but Gong Zhuoliang still detained Ruozi in the inner courtyard just in case. Let Ruolan watch over her, and after staying for a few more days, Gong Zhuoliang and his wife returned to Qiao's mansion and started busy preparations for the new year.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX Gong Zhuoliang is used to the modern year, which is no different from the usual ones. For a while, he really couldn't adapt to the excitement and importance of the ancient times. From Qiao's house alone, accept the yearbook sent by the Zhuangzi shop below and others I ordered things for family filial piety for several days, and I had to prepare to return the gifts from relatives, friends and colleagues, and I was going to give filial piety to relatives, superiors, and dignitaries in Beijing. Mrs. Qiao was holding her head and didn't let Gong Zhuoliang do much. Gong Zhuoliang was too busy.
And Qiao Yingze, as the eldest son and grandson, naturally couldn't afford to be idle. Just dealing with his relatives with Master Qiao was enough to test his stamina, not counting the dinner and wine that Qiao Yingxuan blocked for him, so he dealt with distant relatives, colleagues and friends He can avoid it if he can, and stay at home to take care of his health and wait for the great event of ancestor worship. Qiao Yingxuan will go with Master Qiao for him to go outside for entertainment.
Just two days before the New Year's Eve, when Qiao's family gathered around Mrs. Qiao to celebrate the New Year, a skinny and dark old farmer led this fair and clean boy to cry in front of the door, holding a small bag of The broken silver mixed with copper coins begged them to redeem their daughter, and the door was reported to the wife in charge. The wife in charge saw that what she was looking for was the young lady's maid, so she hurriedly reported to Mrs. Qiao.
Mrs. Qiao was contradicted by a concubine who had just been climbed up by a maid, and she was reminded of an old enmity with a certain big girl. When she was on fire, her eyes turned when she heard this, and the servant was very happy. After settling down the father and son, he went to Mrs. Qiao himself to report, and then sent someone to call Gong Zhuoliang to go there together.
"Is there such a thing? Girl Yan, tell grandma well."
When someone cried at the door during the New Year's Eve, Mrs. Qiao felt a little tired, and when she heard that it was Gong Zhuoliang's dowry girl, she resisted the idea of dismissing it casually and asked Gong Zhuoliang to explain it to her.
"Yes, back to grandma, that girl Ruozi belonged to my mother. I don't know her background very well. I only vaguely know that her father sold her to treat his son's illness, but I don't know why I'm here again now. When Ruozi mentions it, she's always...not very happy."
Gong Zhuoliang really didn't expect Madam Qiao to bring this matter up first, and she didn't know what her plan was, so she could only reply to the old lady's words cautiously, let Ruolan call Ruozi, and then stood aside Pretend to be dazed, only secretly alert in my heart.
"Um… "
Mrs. Qiao just hummed softly when she heard the words, and then turned her eyes to Mrs. Qiao's face, with a faint expression that made it impossible to see the joy and anger, "I think the old father is a poor man, not only how long did it take him to save enough? With a bag of broken silver, I just want to redeem my daughter and have a reunion year together."
Mrs. Qiao's target this time was not Gong Zhuoliang, and she didn't have the leisure to use such a small means to suppress him. It would only make her seem not generous, so she quickly brought out the serious matter she wanted to talk about.
"The daughter-in-law thinks that the girls in the mansion are getting older, and it is inevitable that they are a little dishonest. Why don't you use this as an excuse to give them some grace during the New Year, or let your family members redeem them, or find a suitable match, and buy some more after the New Year. The younger ones come in."
"..."
When Gong Zhuoliang heard this, he knew why Mrs. Qiao was so bloody, she just wanted to take the opportunity to eliminate the aliens in the mansion, the old lady has gradually lost the energy to take care of the trivial matters in the mansion, and whoever is left behind will be punished by then. It's not Mrs. Qiao's decision, and it's impossible for the old lady to refute her face too much.
After figuring out that this matter had nothing to do with him, Gong Zhuoliang continued to calmly act as his background. Now that Mrs. Qiao came forward to act as a face for him, Ruozi would not be able to blame herself. Throwing it into Mrs. Gong's hand, Mrs. Gong will not doubt herself.
"this… "
Mrs. Qiao knew the nature of her daughter-in-law, and knew that she would not do this for no reason, but what she said was true. The fact that her son took a concubine after her eldest grandson got married made the old lady very bad. Heart, so for a while, it was said that my heart was moved, and I thought about it as I turned the rosary in my hand.
Seeing this, Mrs. Qiao was not in a hurry to urge her to make a decision. She sipped her tea in a dignified manner, and only glanced at Zhiqi who was waiting beside the old lady from the corner of her eyes.
After a while, Ruozi, who was inexplicably anxious, was brought up. Seeing that the old lady and his wife were there, the one whose knees softened first, stood in the middle of the hall anxiously. Mrs. Qiao looked at the old lady for instructions, and looked at her. After nodding, he cleared his throat and told about Ruozi's father's ransom.
"Madam, servant, don't leave! Old lady, servant, servant..."
Ruozi fell to her knees in panic when she heard this, and begged in desperation. When she saw that the faces of the two ladies were cold, she realized her impoliteness, and looked at Gong Zhuoliang for help. Seeing Gong Zhuoliang squinting her eyes hinting at her, she forced herself to lower her head and knelt down to straighten her body.
The home in Ruozi's memory is a dilapidated hut. She has worked hard to make money since she was a child, but her younger brother was raised by her father with good food and drink. Later, she sold herself for his younger brother. Ruozi has relied on Mrs. Gong all these years The pet life is more enjoyable than that of ordinary young lady's family, and she is determined not to go back to such a family.
"What a heartless girl, Yan, let his family take this one away. Our Qiao family will not keep such unfilial things."
Mrs. Qiao, who is greedy for wealth and dislikes her father and mother, has seen a lot of people like this, and she doesn't like Ruozi at all, so she just opened her mouth to decide Ruozi's fate, and even agreed with Mrs. Qiao's suggestion down.
Mrs. Qiao also has her own plan. She uses Mrs. Qiao's hand to drive away some dishonest girls in the house. She is also responsible for offending people. When she buys new girls, she will hand them over to the granddaughter-in-law to arrange for their young couple. The two paved the way...
Ruozi wanted to cry and beg again, but was stopped by Ruolan's quick eyes and quick hands, and Gong Zhuoliang, who was pretending to be a passerby, finally took the initiative to take a step forward to show that he still existed.
"Ruozi, this grandmother kindly let you reunite with your family, master and servant, I will not accept your ransom money, after you leave, if you still think of my mother's kindness, don't forget to go back to the palace to give her Just kowtow."
Gong Zhuoliang walked up to Ruozi and helped her up, seeing the surprise in her eyes after hearing what he said, knowing that she understood what he meant, he asked Ruolan to send her out, Shi Kang was waiting in the outer house .
Speaking of Shi Kang, after Qiao Yingze came back, he had already asked the old lady to take him for her own use, but the old lady was still happy that he finally took care of family affairs.
"You kid is just too kind."
After Ruozi retreated, the old lady beckoned Gong Zhuoliang to sit in front of her, then held her hand and patted her. Although her tone seemed displeased, her expression and attitude were not the same.
"Since the old lady has agreed, the daughter-in-law will start making preparations, and after the New Year, she will be released."
Mrs. Qiao was impatient to see the intimacy between the old and the young, so she cast her eyes on Zhiqi. Seeing her lowering her eyebrows and pretending to be respectful, Mrs. Qiao gave her a sneering look, turned around and walked away proudly.
That girl used to rely on the old lady's favor and always wanted to be Aunt Qiao Yingze's sweet dream. She didn't even pay attention to her as the mistress, and now the old lady doesn't protect her anymore. Everyone still thinks of her as the mistress to be bullied, and those restless and lowly girls, hum!
"..."
Zhiqi's heart turned cold when Madam Qiao stared at her, knowing that she would not end up well this time, and the old lady had nothing to hope for!
Zhiqi secretly clenched her handkerchief tightly. She absolutely did not want to go out. Now that things have come to an end, she has to fight with her face. As long as she is the housemate of the eldest young master, the wife and the young wife can't take her as an old lady. How about the big girl, the old lady will definitely not slap herself, she will endure it for a few years, and she will do other things after being promoted to an aunt!
