The young lady's natal cousin was the number one scholar in high school, and the number one scholar even specially wanted to come to Bocheng to visit relatives. After the news spread in Qiao's mansion, it suddenly overshadowed the limelight of the second young master's love affair. After all, there are many official ladies in this world, but the number one scholar is a rare person who only comes out once every three years. In addition, His family is also a dignitary in Beijing, and his future official career is limitless. So after the old lady heard the news, she was very happy to order someone to clean up a courtyard in the city, and allocated a sum of money from the public to Qiao Yingze and his wife, telling them to entertain this family well.
The old lady's move is firstly to hope that Qiao Yingze can make friends with this helpful relative, and secondly, to save Gong Zhuoliang's face. Although Qiao Yingze is unwilling to curry favor with others, she is somewhat curious about this weak crowned high school champion. In addition, Gong Zhuoliang also said that his conduct and knowledge are good, thinking that it would be good to make a friend, so he readily agreed to this matter.
Qiao Yingze's rare concern with foreign affairs, took the money given by the old lady to take care of the minor repairs in the other courtyard, and went out in a sedan chair every two days to check the progress, followed by the clever Qiao Ming and the steady Shi Kang , Gong Zhuoliang has nothing to worry about him... In fact, the person Gong Zhuoliang is more worried about now is himself.
Speaking of Gong Zhuoxiang's family, they are really cousins with the grandparents of Gong Zhuoliang's family. Madam's tigress entered the house, earned the current wealth of the palace family, and took the initiative to honor the relatives in Beijing, so they were considered to be in contact again, but they were just treated as money bags in time.
And when it comes to the deity of Gong Zhuoliang's body and his cousin of the number one scholar, it can really be called a bloody relationship.
It was still more than a year ago, when Gong Zhuoxiang went out to visit relatives, the tigress who heard the news kindly invited him to Bocheng as a guest, so he stopped by, but when he saw the atmosphere of the Gong family, he was very displeased, and was about to leave with an excuse. But accidentally saw Gong Zhuoliang who was crying secretly, and immediately felt pity for the young man, so he changed his mind and stayed for half a month longer, caring for the young man, although he didn't do anything BT, but he hugged and hugged him very affectionately all day long , and made an appointment to pick him up after he was in high school, and then pick him up to resettle in Beijing...
Chasing all those nasty memories out of his mind, Gong Zhuoliang, who was locked in his room, scratched the wall depressedly, thinking that this drama is so bloody and clichéd, this drama is still the title of the Golden List of Talented Scholars, but the "beautiful woman" is dreaming and dying Sadomasochism drama!
And as soon as Gong Zhuoliang remembered how weak his body was before, he wanted to vomit three liters of blood very much!
"It's bloody, it's too bloody."
Shaking his head with emotion and sighing softly, Gong Zhuoliang combined this memory and thought about it further. This young man endured all kinds of difficulties and hardships in the Gong family, but he committed suicide by jumping into the lake when he was forced to marry. I'm afraid affection is also the main reason... Thinking of this, it is even more difficult for Gong Zhuoliang to develop a good impression of that child-loving cousin who likes an eleven-year-old boy.
Although that Gong Zhuoxiang really cared for the boy sincerely, and even wanted to buy a house for him in Beijing, so that he could marry a wife and have children and live in an upright manner, and he didn't mean to treat him as a child prostitute, but after more than a year, the It's a fact whether he hears or not... What he lost, he can never get back.
Gong Zhuoliang struggled for so long because of this No. 1 Scholar, it was definitely not because he felt pity for him or his 'old love' would be unforgettable, but because he was afraid that the old love would be too nostalgic, and the matter between him and his real boy would be revealed, in case Qiao Yingze became suspicious , how should I deal with it then
Thinking that this bloody scene would almost certainly happen, and he couldn't explain it clearly, Gong Zhuoliang was once again entangled.
Stop them from meeting? Don't be kidding, why does my current status stop their men from socializing outside? Besides, with Qiao Yingze's carefulness, wouldn't the more I stop him, the more he would become suspicious
Or confess in advance? But how to tell the little Xianggong? I can't tell him that cousin is my old lover... But the one who has JQ with him is obviously not the current me, but he wants me to take the blame, it's too cruel!
"What is this?"
Hearing the sound of Qiao Yingze opening the door and entering the room, Gong Zhuoliang adjusted his expression and greeted Qiao Yingze with a smile. He thought that it would be useless for him to be bothered now, and then he would see how the situation develops and adapt accordingly.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX was in Gong Zhuoliang's depression from time to time. In early April, the No. Ben ran to the palace mansion.
Gong Zhuoxiang met the elders of the palace family politely, with a rare kind smile on his face, but when he asked about Gong Zhuoliang, he got the answer that he had been away from home for more than half a year and they didn't know his whereabouts. , the smile on Gong Zhuoxiang's handsome face faded away, knowing that they had forced the young man away, the eyes of the Gong family members were immediately frighteningly cold, and he threw up his sleeves and wanted to leave, so scared that the Gong family members hurriedly stopped him.
It was Mrs. Gong who cleverly remembered Gong Zhuoliang's words and told him that the son-in-law of the Qiao family had always been in contact with Gong Zhuoliang and wanted to introduce them, so Gong Zhuoxiang resigned his temper and reluctantly stayed, but he still refused to stay in the Gong family for a moment. It wasn't until Qiao Yingze came to meet the appointment that he put on a smile and looked at the visitor out of his family ugliness.
As soon as Qiao Yingze was welcomed into the hall, he saw a handsome young man standing with his hands behind his back, with an elegant demeanor, Qiao Yingze's eyes lit up, and he sighed in his heart that this number one scholar was really handsome, and the smile on his face was sincere After a few minutes, I raised my hand and bowed to him.
Gong Zhuoxiang returned the gift politely, but he didn't expect this young man to be an elegant and outstanding person. Gong Zhuoxiang secretly sighed that the Gong family had formed a good family, and he was moved to make friends. In addition, he wanted to learn about it from Qiao Yingze. Gong Zhuoliang's whereabouts and conversation became more gentle and polite, without any complacency or arrogance.
Qiao Yingze saw that he treated him very politely, but was very indifferent and alienated to everyone in the Gong family. He knew that he also looked down on the vulgarity of the Gong family, so he invited him to live in his own courtyard as previously arranged, so that he could enjoy himself. The friendship of the landlord. Gong Zhuoxiang was impatient to stay in the Gong's house for a long time, so he accepted his invitation with a few polite words.
When the two left, they tacitly ignored everyone in the palace family, and let Bai beg for a job. The boring lady palace was very depressed, but she didn't dare to lose her temper with Zhuangyuanlang and Master Juren, so she could only close the door and scold her husband for venting her anger...
Qiao Yingze came from the Gong family in a sedan chair, and originally prepared a sedan chair for Gong Zhuoxiang, but when he saw that the other party was riding a horse and holding a whip, he looked both civil and military. , and he sat in another more elegant sedan chair.
Before getting into the sedan chair, Qiao Yingze couldn't help but subconsciously look at the person on the horse, feeling ashamed that he hadn't seen such an outstanding person in so many years.
Gong Zhuoxiang followed Qiao Yingze to the other courtyard, saw that the building here was elegant and unique, and the furnishings were very suitable for him, so he liked Qiao Yingze more and more. In addition, both of them were talented and learned, and one was well-informed. One is modest and seeks to improve, so the two casually talk about knowledge and poetry and painting. The afternoon passed quickly, and both of them still felt that they were still unfulfilled. They faintly regarded each other as a rare confidant and good friend. They even called each other from adults and sons at the beginning to dear brothers and virtuous brothers later.
"Brother Gong is exhausted from the journey, it's rude to interrupt me like this. It's getting late now, brother Gong should rest early."
Realizing that it was almost time for dinner, Qiao Yingze stopped the topic knowingly and got up to bid farewell to Gong Zhuoxiang.
Although he is the master of this other courtyard, since he has borrowed Gong Zhuoxiang now, he should not behave like a master again.
"Brother, please stay here first. There is one more thing. Brother Yu wants to trouble you. I heard that after Zhuo Liang, my cousin from the palace family, left home, he asked Brother Qiao to buy some property. I don't know if Brother Qiao knows where my cousin is now. Where, what is the current situation?"
It was hard to talk about the filth of the family in Bocheng, until Qiao Yingze was about to leave, and Gong Zhuoxiang, who had been thinking about his sweetheart, finally opened his mouth apologetically, and his tone of concern was hard to hide when he talked about it later.
"This... my brother-in-law is traveling abroad now, and I occasionally exchange letters with Zhuojing. He often mentions interesting things around him, and he seems to be doing well."
Gong Zhuoxiang's attitude made Qiao Yingze's heart skip a beat. He felt that it was abnormal for him to be so nervous about Gong Zhuoliang. He didn't want to treat a gentleman's belly with a villain's heart. Qiao Yingze suppressed his emotions and smiled lightly according to Gong Zhuoliang's arrangement. The rhetoric is spoken.
"Since he left the Gong family, why didn't he send me any news? Could it be my fault... no, he must be afraid of delaying my study. This child is always so considerate."
Hearing this, Gong Zhuoxiang frowned in confusion at first, then lowered his eyes in thought as if a little uneasy, but soon turned into a gentle smile, but his wandering eyes revealed the slightest uncertainty in his heart, and he focused on himself He was preoccupied, but he didn't notice that Qiao Yingze's right hand, which was originally placed by his side, was slowly clenched behind him.
"Brother Gong is very close to my brother-in-law?"
Qiao Yingze pursed his lips and smiled faintly, his eyes dropped to Gong Zhuoxiang's collar, not wanting him to see the suspicion in his eyes.
What is the relationship between this Gong Zhuoxiang and his little daughter-in-law
"Oh, he is a rare good boy, I wonder if Brother Yu can tell Brother Yu where he is now?"
Realizing his gaffe, Gong Zhuoxiang didn't feel ashamed, instead he showed a rather bright smile.
"My brother-in-law always writes to us after arriving at a place, so I don't know now."
Inexplicably, Qiao Yingze felt that the smile of this person in front of him was somewhat similar to Qiao Yingxuan... They were full of chic and confident temperament, and Gong Zhuoxiang's mature demeanor was naturally much better than Qiao Yingxuan's childish one.
Qiao Yingze couldn't help thinking, Gong Zhuoliang admired Qiao Yingxuan's character so much before, could it be because of his empathy for the person in front of him
"Then I don't know if I can bother my younger brother to inform Liang'er that I have graduated from high school, and ask him to go to Jingzhong Gong's house to look for me. If there is something inconvenient, he should also write to me first...or should I write to him first?" He, Brother Lao Xian handed it over for me."
At this time, Gong Zhuoxiang was thinking about his own thoughts, and he never noticed Qiao Yingze's unnaturalness. For more than a year, he studied hard day and night, and Gong Zhuoliang's cute and obedient appearance became a symbol of his hard work. Perhaps the close half-month relationship back then didn't make him really affectionate, but after more than a year of longing, the original pure love was so precious, but now he has lost it after high school. In the traces of the young man, he lost his usual poise and composure in a moment of impatience.
"good… "
Gong Zhuoxiang's appearance deepened Qiao Yingze's guess, and once the happiness that supported him was cast a shadow, Qiao Yingze felt that his body's strength was drained instantly, and the exhaustion accumulated from talking and laughing all afternoon covered his whole body, Qiao Yingze slightly Standing close to the table with one hand, while desperately telling myself not to think about it in my heart, I tried to maintain a polite smile on my face.
"Brother, what's wrong?"
Gong Zhuoxiang's gaffe was only for a short moment. When he came back to his senses, he noticed that Qiao Yingze's face had turned pale. He tried to help him sit on the chair, but Qiao Yingze sideways avoided his touch. Gong Zhuoxiang looked at his hands and couldn't help being slightly stunned.
"My body has always been weak, I don't dare to bother my brother to worry about it, just go back and have a rest, after my brother's letter is written, I will hand it over to me."
Qiao Yingze bowed his hands and apologized to Gong Zhuoxiang. His thin body and weak appearance at this time deepened the credibility of his words.
"Oh, since that's the case, brother Yu won't delay the rest of brother virtuous, please."
Gong Zhuoxiang smiled magnanimously, and raised his hand as a gesture of invitation. Qiao Ming, who was waiting outside the door, saw that his young master had a bad face, so he hurriedly ordered someone to bring in the sedan chair waiting outside, and waited for Qiao Yingze to come in. After saying goodbye to Gong Zhuoxiang several times, she helped him into the sedan chair.
"... Don't go home yet, just wander around the city."
Qiao Yingze instructed Qiao Ming in a low voice, and with the lowering of the sedan chair curtain, the smile he was trying to maintain completely dissipated, he let out a breath and relaxed his body leaning against the sedan chair, Qiao Yingze just sat there powerless and lifeless, His closed eyes hid all his thoughts.
At this time, Gong Zhuoliang was waiting at home anxiously, thinking about how to adapt to Qiao Yingze's situation.
