"Ying Xuan, what do you mean?"
Glancing at each other with Gong Zhuoliang, the faint smile on Qiao Yingze's face disappeared, and his expression became a little serious.
"Brother, don't be angry, my brother understands what you said, and my brother will definitely take care of this family in the future, but the guilt in my heart is still hard to get rid of, my brother knows that my brother and sister-in-law do not lack these things, but This is really my brother's whole heart, brother, you will help my brother, let my brother feel at ease."
Qiao Yingxuan didn't act like those sad and sad children, and just stood in front of Qiao Yingze frankly, to show him the sincerity of his actions.
Qiao Yingxuan knew that his elder brother was pampered by his grandmother at home, and he spent dozens of taels of silver every month just to nourish his body. When he was at home, these were all accounted for by the company. Now they have to go out and pay for it. You have to rely on yourself to wear it. Although my brother is a man, but his body is afraid that his official career will be difficult...
If they only lived on the family property that they gave away, their life would not be as comfortable as in the mansion. It is a good idea to give the money now, and if it is given away later, it will inevitably be suspected of being a charity. This is Qiao Yingxuan try to avoid.
"Ying Xuan, tell me first, where did the money come from?"
Seeing his younger brother's sincerity, Qiao Yingze breathed a sigh of relief and eased his expression. He knows his younger brother, and he likes the excitement of inviting friends and companions the most on weekdays. Because of his high status, he naturally spends the most money on treats, and the monthly allowance is not enough for him to spend for a few days, and the rest is his mother. Subsidy, and because he is worried about him, all his private property is held in the hands of his mother, so where did he get such a large amount of cash
"Of course it's the family property that my younger brother got."
Qiao Yingxuan blinked his eyes, and clutched his sleeves a little lacking in confidence. In fact, he took these banknotes from his mother's cabinet. He thought that his mother would hold all the property he got, so If my mother asks, let her withhold it in her own property.
In fact, Qiao Yingxuan really thought badly. Since he is the heir, the property he gets should be counted as the property of the public. No one in the family has the right to use it privately, even Mrs. Qiao who holds the property of the public. It was no exception, so the ten thousand taels in front of him could not go to the public account at all, and could only be counted on Mrs. Qiao's head.
"..."
When Gong Zhuoliang heard this, he pursed his lips and swallowed his laughter back, but the corners of his mouth still couldn't help but raised slightly, and he hurriedly blocked it by drinking tea, thinking what a pity, the black man who came to the door automatically Mrs. Qiao's chance will be missed by her little husband-in-law.
As expected, just as Qiao Yingxuan finished speaking, Qiao Yingze sighed helplessly, looking at Qiao Yingxuan with a feeling of not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
"elder brother?"
Seeing the different expressions of his brother and sister-in-law, Qiao Yingxuan realized that he seemed to have said something wrong, so he couldn't help standing up straight, and looked at Qiao Yingze eagerly.
"Ying Xuan, you..."
Qiao Yingze was amused by this younger brother. He knew that this kid was taking it for granted, but thinking about it, he never paid attention to these things. It's normal not to know the rules, so he slowly told him about the relationship.
"Even so, the things that my brother has given away will never be taken back. Some of the things outside of the body, does my brother insist on alienating me like this? On the mother's side, my brother will explain himself!"
Qiao Yingxuan blushed a lot, but still insisted on refusing to take it back, thinking in her heart that her mother is so rich, so why would she be reluctant to give her brother a little money? If my mother really wanted to pursue it, then it would be considered that I owed her.
"Ying Xuan, brother doesn't mean that."
Seeing his younger brother's embarrassed look, Qiao Yingze felt a little embarrassed to say no, so he couldn't help turning his questioning gaze to Gong Zhuoliang.
He knows his little daughter-in-law's business methods, and even if he doesn't point to the bookstore, the annual income from their Zhuangzi's land is enough for them to live a lifetime without worrying about food and clothing, so he really doesn't care about this money at all .
"Since it's Second Uncle's wish, Xianggong doesn't need to cheat with Second Uncle, but we can't accept such a heavy gift from you in vain. Why don't we just leave a yard for Second Uncle in the new house?"
After receiving Qiao Yingze's gaze, Gong Zhuoliang, who was pretending to be sipping tea, twitched his lips, then changed into a gentle expression and offered suggestions, while looking at Qiao Yingxuan for the second half of the sentence.
Because Mrs. Qiao is the biological mother of his young husband, in order not to make Qiao Yingze feel uncomfortable, no matter how dissatisfied Gong Zhuoliang is with her, he can't really do anything to her, but it's still good to hurt her like now Yes.
And Qiao Yingze, who was sitting next to him, couldn't help but glanced at Gong Zhuoliang with a smile after listening, and thought to himself that leaving a yard for the second and third brothers to live in, wasn't this something that had been discussed a long time ago, and now he's showing it to be a good boy.
For Gong Zhuoliang's proposal, Qiao Yingxuan naturally happily agreed, and after coaxing the baby to play for a while, and having dinner at Qiao Yingze and Gong Zhuoliang's room, he happily left their yard.
Because he was a bit full from eating at night, Qiao Yingxuan didn't go back to his residence directly, but went to the garden for a walk to digest food. After walking around casually, he suddenly heard a low sobbing sound, which Qiao Yingxuan sounded familiar to him. I followed the sound and walked to the side of the rockery, and found a small figure huddled inside the rockery, sobbing.
"Ying Zi? Why are you here?"
Finding that the person hiding here crying was actually the younger brother Qiao Yingzi, Qiao Yingxuan subconsciously walked over and carried him out, seeing his big eyes were red and swollen from crying, he couldn't help feeling angry, thinking Which blind servant made him so angry
Since Qiao Yingze taught him a lesson, Qiao Yingxuan's attitude towards this concubine brother has improved a lot. Although he is not too close, at least he sincerely regards him as a relative. Now seeing him crying like this alone, no one cares. It is natural to feel angry at the servant's negligence towards him.
"Second brother?"
Qiao Yingzi was taken aback by Qiao Yingxuan's sudden movement, and she choked back her tears. When she realized that she was hugged by her second brother, Qiao Yingzi couldn't help but stared blankly at him and forgot to respond, but her little hands subconsciously The imaginary ring around his shoulders.
"Why are you crying here alone? Tell the second brother, who bullied you?"
Qiao Yingxuan wiped Qiao Yingzi's pretty face with his sleeve, and after thinking for a while, he was afraid that his mother would be unhappy if he found out, so he didn't carry him back to his yard, but sat in a viewing hall in the garden, and was in charge of the maintenance here. The boy cleverly refilled the stove and hot tea for him.
"No... Mother won't let me go to my elder brother's sister-in-law's house. Second brother, can you take me there in the future?"
I don't know if it was because the stove was lit in the room, or because Qiao Yingxuan hugged him, Qiao Yingzi felt that the cold that had surrounded him just now disappeared. He remembered his mother's order and didn't want to answer, but when he remembered what his sister-in-law said, You have to believe the second brother, Qiao Yingzi still couldn't help but looked at him with tears in his eyes.
Originally, Qiao Yingzi was very happy that his mother let him get closer to his eldest brother and sister-in-law, but when he left their yard today, he asked his mother when she could see the baby again, but her mother suddenly turned cold and said that she would never see them again. Qiao Yingzi was very sad, but he didn't dare to cry in front of his mother, so he sneaked out to hide and cry.
"Hmph, don't pay attention to her... Second brother means that second brother will take you to brother's sister-in-law's house, don't worry."
Qiao Yingxuan got angry when he mentioned that foxy kid, but considering how the little guy in his arms felt, he stopped his mouth in time and didn't say anything wrong with his mother to his face.
Speaking of this address, Qiao Yingxuan couldn't help but think that the aunt Sun kept saying that Ying Zi was raised by her aunt, but when she turned around, she cried to her father that she couldn't live without her son, which made her father agree to Ying Zi and still live with her. He didn't even change his name to Auntie, but still called her Mother, really thick-skinned!
"Really? Thank you, brother!"
Qiao Yingzi smiled pleasantly because of Qiao Yingxuan's answer, and the few missing teeth in his mouth were clearly visible at once. Seeing Qiao Yingxuan burst into laughter, the sensitive little guy realized that he had been exposed, and his two little hands He hurriedly covered his mouth, and his face turned red all of a sudden.
"If the second brother agrees, it will definitely count. Don't cover it, your hands are dirty."
Qiao Yingxuan laughed heartily after being teased, and wondered if it was because he had a child, otherwise why would he be more pleasing to the eye the more he looked at this little guy
When Qiao Yingxuan finished seeing off his younger brother and went back to the hospital to sleep honestly, in the room of Qiao Yingze and Gong Zhuoliang, Qiao Yingze, who had just returned from the old lady, took out a stack of bank notes and land deeds from his arms, and handed them over in a somewhat silent manner. Gong Zhuoliang.
Seeing the amount, Gong Zhuoliang twitched the corners of his mouth again, thinking that this one is even more ruthless, it's 50,000 taels, it really is his grandma!
"Zhuo Zhuo, these are at least half of my grandmother's private house."
Qiao Yingze's eyes were a little red, it was obvious that he had cried just now, he always knew how much his grandmother loved him, but he never thought that she wanted to love him a lot more, remembering how her grandmother was holding his hand and exhorting him carefully Qiao Yingze felt that she was really ashamed of her old man... It's not that Qiao Yingze felt that his choice was wrong, but his kindness to the old man can never be repaid.
"Master, don't worry, one day, we will be able to honor our filial piety at the knees of our grandmother!"
Helping Qiao Yingze to sit down by the bed, Gong Zhuoliang stood in front of him and asked him to bury his face in his chest. Gently caressing the back of Qiao Yingze's neck, Gong Zhuoliang's eyes at this time were full of seriousness and firmness that did not meet the age of fourteen.
The time to leave Qiao's house was more than a year earlier than he planned, so that he could proceed to the next step more calmly...
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX Because the time to move was too fast, Gong Zhuoliang and his wife became very busy in the next few days. They didn't want to involve too much with the family, so the servants never took goodbye from Qiao's house except for a few trustworthy people around them. who came out.
And according to Gong Zhuoliang's housekeeping philosophy of not raising idlers, except for the maids and servants who serve close to him and bought more than a dozen for Ruolan and Qiao Ming to sort through, the rest of the servants are honest and honest. Buy, and all of them are dead contracts.
By the time they were finally able to rest and breathe a sigh of relief, it had been several days since the move, and the two of them stayed at home for two days before they finally regained their energy.
And when Qiao Yingze brought out Gong Zhuoliang's birthday present in the morning - a set of light blue men's clothes that fit his current figure, Gong Zhuoliang remembered that today is already February 15th, and it was he who planned for himself to think about Qiao Yingze Ask for the day of the 'reward', so Gong Zhuoliang immediately regained his spirits.
After eating the exquisite 'candlelight dinner' he asked Hanshu to prepare, and helping Qiao Yingze wash his face, Gong Zhuoliang took a bath by himself in a good mood, then wiped his hair with a cloth towel and went into the back room , I saw Qiao Yingze leaning on the bed to amuse the children routinely.
"Zhuo Zhuo, the baby will be full moon tomorrow. Since grandma has placed wine at our house, let's stay longer and spend time with grandma. I wonder if grandma has decided on a name for the baby?"
Qiao Yingze held the wrapped baby in his arms, and playfully touched his exposed little hand with his fingers. Seeing that he would reflexively hold his fingers, Qiao Yingze couldn't help but smile even more.
The newborn baby really looks different every day. It has only been a month, and it is completely different from the thin and dry appearance when it was first born. It is white, tender and beautiful.
"Okay, it should be settled. It is said that the family tree of their generation has the word Min (min three tones), which is quite good."
Gong Zhuoliang put the cloth towel aside, walked to the side of the bed and sat down, the real face revealed after washing off the makeup was already very different from the delicate and soft beauty when he was young.
The boy's handsome edges and corners are becoming more and more distinct, and accompanied by the smirk that he always raises one corner of his lips habitually, it seems quite seductive.
"Um… "
The eyes that moved to Gong Zhuoliang's face couldn't be moved away for a while, Qiao Yingze felt a heat surge in his body, and he subconsciously pursed his dry lips lightly.
"Sanggong, I heard that the more physical contact a baby has with his relatives, the closer he will be to each other when he grows up."
Noticing Qiao Yingze's obsessive gaze, Gong Zhuoliang hooked the corners of his mouth, stretched out his hand and stripped the baby naked, then tore off the skirt of Qiao Yingze's nightgown, let the baby lie on his white and tender chest, and deliberately covered the baby's face Aim at the pink spot on his chest.
"Zhuo Zhuo, he will catch a cold."
Qiao Yingze hurriedly hugged the little guy with one hand, and pulled the wrap around him with the other hand, but without knowing it, that point touched the baby's lips, which aroused the little guy's reflex instinct of spitting milk. The upright little Doudou groaned, and then I don't know whether it was because he didn't get the milk or Doudou was too small to swallow. Anyway, the little guy was very dissatisfied and cried with his eyes closed. Qiao Yingze, who was angry and shy, Wrapped it indiscriminately with a small quilt and stuffed it to Gong Zhuoliang.
"Don't be angry, my husband, that little guy doesn't know the delicious food here, and the wife knows it too."
Taking the baby out and letting Ruo Lan take it to the nanny, Gong Zhuoliang held back a smile and sat back beside Qiao Yingze, pulled off the man's skirt again, and put his lips on the upright pink particles...
