Gong Zhuoliang sneaked in to visit Pingxi today. In fact, he deliberately came to test the relationship between him and Shi Kang. There was no malice, but he simply felt that Pingxi had a 'similar' smell, so he hoped to know more about him. Some, to get to the bottom of the reason, it can also be said that Gong Zhuoliang is... lonely.
Counting it, it has been a year and a half since Gong Zhuoliang came to this world, but a big man wants to pretend to be a loli and intrigue among women all day long, hypnotizing himself to be acting a "Gong scheming", Gong Zhuoliang feels that he is not real BT is already very good.
And Qiao Yingze is like an oasis in the desert to him, and it can also be said to be the only life-saving straw. Whether it is because he was moved by Qiao Yingze, or because he has fallen in love with him for a long time, Gong Zhuoliang feels that there is nothing in this world. There will be a man worth cherishing more than Qiao Yingze, but because he cherishes it too much, Gong Zhuoliang can't tell Qiao Yingze about many troubles, for example, he hates pretending to be a woman, hates the inner house, hates the sunrise and works day and night Plain to boring life!
So Gong Zhuoliang needs his own career, needs to have friends, brothers, confidantes, and even opponents, all the factors that can stimulate his enthusiasm and blood, he really held back for too long!
And Pingxi was the first friend Gong Zhuoliang wanted to date, but what he didn't expect was that he had seen through his identity before he found out his secret.
"Thank you, how did Pingxi find out?"
Gong Zhuoliang's thoughts were spinning, but there was a relieved smile on his face, and he didn't shy away from anything at the moment, he leaned over and fell into Qiao Yingze's arms, and looked at Pingxi with a naughty smile, and Qiao Yingze saw his Responding, he naturally embraced his shoulders, and the peaceful expression returned to his face.
Of course, Gong Zhuoliang didn't dare to put all his weight on Qiao Yingze's body. Although he looks thin, his bones are actually quite heavy, and his husband's body can't help it...
"Voice, although I'm singing Xiaosheng, but on the same stage... my friend is used to acting in female roles, and is also the best at pretending to be a girl, so when I first saw you, I felt strange, but don't worry, young lady, this flaw is common to ordinary people. Can't find it."
Taking a panoramic view of the reactions of the two, Ping Xi's heart relaxed a little, and she laughed secretly, could it be that she had really been locked in this 'cage' for too long, and could only face Shi Kang, that impenetrable stone? People, so that the superficial skills of cultivation back then have regressed to this point, and they can't even hide a little worry. How can they win people's trust by showing favor so rashly
"I see… "
Gong Zhuoliang nodded knowingly, knowing that Pingxi is an expert in this field, just like his own mother.
Just when the three of them didn't know how to continue the conversation, Qiao Minyan who was in Pingxi's arms suddenly flattened his mouth, spilled all the boy's urine on Pingxi's clothes, and then cried like a cat Twice, and then seemed not to feel any discomfort, then blinked his eyes and stopped, making Ping Xi feel at a loss, Gong Zhuoliang and Qiao Yingze couldn't help laughing when they saw this, and the originally stagnant atmosphere suddenly recovered It was easier than before.
"This little rascal."
Qiao Yingze took the child and wiped the calf that caused him trouble, and then carefully wrapped it in a quilt. Gong Zhuoliang, seeing Pingxi's messed up appearance, held back a smile and told him to change his clothes and wash up. They came together It's time to go back.
"Although we have fewer chances to see each other after we split up, we will often come over to pay our respects to our ancestors during the holidays. You should always prepare good wine and wait for us."
Knowing Pingxi's current status and position, there are many things that cannot be said or done, so when he was about to go downstairs, Gong Zhuoliang looked at the handsome man standing silently, and took the initiative to send a message representing intimacy, and then he and Qiao Yingze together He left the small courtyard with everyone.
Shi Kang walked silently behind the crowd, couldn't help but look back at the thin figure in front of the window on the second floor, but saw that his gaze was always on the Young Madam, and he never saw himself at all, while the Young Madam and the others After turning out of the courtyard door, he turned around and left the window ignoring himself. Shi Kang clenched his fists tightly and walked away with everyone's footsteps with a cold face. The low pressure made Qiao Ming who was walking in front of him feel uncomfortable. Inexplicable.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX had dealt with the relatives and friends of Qiao's family again, and they did not return to their own home until the sun was turning toward Nishinomiya Zhuoliang, and the nanny asked the nurse to carry the little protagonist who had been tired all day back to the house, and then Gong Zhuoliang and Qiao Yingze took time off to study the story pity question.
"If he is just an ordinary male concubine and he is not favored by his father now, we can tell our grandmother to let him go out, but he is sent by the Huaining County Prince's Mansion, we don't have the ability to help him even if we want to, Huai King Ning Jun has always been surly and ridiculous, so he is not easy to provoke."
Qiao Yingze guessed the intention of Pingxi's move, and felt that the biggest possibility was that he wanted them to set him free...
In fact, Qiao Yingze himself didn't want to speculate on him with such a villainous heart, but this matter was related to Gong Zhuoliang's safety, and they had only met Yu Pingxi on a few occasions, so they dare not take it lightly.
"I don't think Pingxi is trying to blackmail us, otherwise he can directly talk about what conditions he has today, and Ruolan also said that Shi Kang's attitude towards Pingxi is indeed ambiguous, and Shi Kang's character is obvious to all. Yes, maybe... Pingxi really doesn't have any malicious intentions."
Gong Zhuoliang himself was not a person who would trust others, but he had a really good impression of Ping Xi, and he always felt that that person had a smell that was not stained by mud.
"I'm not prejudiced because of his origin, but as far as I know, the Huaining County Prince's Mansion is a place where dirt is hidden, and he was once the favorite of the Huaining County King. It's hard to say what his nature is... I I saw that you rarely have a friend who can talk, and he is polite, so I didn’t tell you in detail, but when things like today happen, you still have to be more careful.”
Qiao Yingze has been kept in the inner house all the time, and he has an ignorant and indifferent temper, but just like this, he has also heard a lot of lewd things in the Huaining County Palace, and except for Ping Xi and An Xi, who have always been the prince's taboo, The rest of the servants and maidservants are no different from prostitutes, so even though he has a good impression of Pingxi, he still dare not trust her.
"If he really has something in mind, it's time to take the opportunity to say it today. Since he hasn't said anything, let's just wait and see what happens. I hope it's our villain's heart..."
Gong Zhuoliang can somewhat imagine Pingxi's previous living environment. In the modern era of convenient Internet, he has never seen any restricted-rated movies, so he feels that Pingxi's temperament is even more rare.
The two were discussing, when suddenly Ruolan came to report that something was found in the study, Qiao Ming asked them to go over and have a look, they looked at each other suspiciously, Qiao Yingze sorted out the 'equipment' for Gong Zhuoliang and went together .
It turns out that when they moved into their new home, Qiao Yingze ordered to change the back room connected to the study room into Gong Zhuoliang's studio, but today when they were remodeling, they found a tunnel under the cabinet in the back room, and they don't know where it leads , They invited Qiao Yingze and the others over to see if they were looking for an exit or simply blocked it.
"Qiao Ming, find someone to check the exit and see where it leads."
Gong Zhuoliang's eyes lit up when he heard the words, and suddenly he had an idea in his heart. After privately instructing Qiao Ming to let him go to work, he took Qiao Yingze back to the house, and the idea in his heart became stronger and stronger.
It has long been known that some high-ranking officials have the habit of digging escape tunnels and secret rooms. Gong Zhuoliang also had this idea, and the Qiao Mansion probably also has such a tunnel, but the elders never mentioned it, and Gong Zhuoliang and the others Naturally, people can't let people lead to the secret passage outside for no reason, it's just arousing suspicion.
Besides, there are so many eyes staring at the Qiao Mansion, it's pure nonsense to secretly dig something, so this thought gradually faded into the back of his mind, and when he saw this secret passage today, Gong Zhuoliang thought of this, and thought But it came alive all of a sudden.
After returning to the room and having dinner, Gong Zhuoliang became impatient with this womanly appearance. He and Qiao Yingze had bathed together early, and then lay down lazily on the couch wearing only an inner coat and a cotton robe. Continue to imagine the feasibility of your own plan.
"I've just moved out, so many things haven't been arranged yet... Is it earlier?"
Taking a cloth towel, he walked to Gong Zhuoliang's side and sat down. Qiao Yingze moved his head and rested it on his lap, then wrapped his half-wet hair with the cloth towel and wiped it gently. After wiping, he switched to using his fingers Go to massage the scalp for Gong Zhuoliang.
Seeing how much Gong Zhuoliang cared about the secret way today, Qiao Yingze guessed his plan in his heart. Although from the day they were separated, Qiao Yingze knew that Gong Zhuoliang would walk out of this house and face it as a man. The psychological preparation for this world, when it really comes to this day, seeing Gong Zhuoliang so impatiently wanting to go out, he will still feel a little heavy and bored. I can't help being with such a boring and ordinary man like him.
"Originally, I planned to wait for another two months. After all, there are many people in the mansion. It is not appropriate for me to play two roles when I come and go. But now that I have this secret way, it will be different. Wherever the secret way passes I found a suitable house and bought it as my brother-in-law's residence, so that on weekdays I would go through secret passages and not have to go in and out of the mansion, so I wouldn't arouse suspicion."
Gong Zhuoliang enjoyed Qiao Yingze's massage with his eyes closed, all he thought about was what he would do after going out, so excited, he didn't notice the faint disappointment in Qiao Yingze's words.
"You can't act rashly, you have to think carefully."
Qiao Yingze couldn't help showing a slight smile when he saw Gong Zhuoliang squinting his eyes in enjoyment, but then he pursed his lips somewhat reluctantly, but there was no hint of displeasure in his tone.
"Don't worry, I will naturally plan to act after Zhou Xiang, Mr. Xiang, why don't we think about where we are going to play for a while, shopping first is a must, I haven't walked on the streets of Bocheng in a 'down-to-earth' way, I have to eat all kinds of snacks, or I should go to the bookstore first, just listen to their good news but not bad news, I don’t know what my bookstore will be like... "
Gong Zhuoliang really felt the excitement that he was about to be released from prison. If Qiao Yingze hadn't just finished tormenting Qiao Yingze yesterday, he really wanted to throw him down and do it right now!
In fact, Gong Zhuoliang wanted to indulge in horse racing and hunting, but when he thought of his husband's fragile heart, he still wisely chose to keep silent...
"Well... ok... okay..."
Not wanting to spoil Gong Zhuoliang's interest, Qiao Yingze continued to massage his scalp with moderate strength, and then answered his words at the right time, the smile on the corner of his mouth was still gentle and doting, but in the drooping eyelids, there was something that was not easy to be attracted to. Astringency that people perceive.
Just when Gong Zhuoliang was about to fall asleep comfortably, Ruolan reported that Qiao Ming was back, Gong Zhuoliang opened his eyes quickly, sat up energetically, and asked Ruolan to let Qiao Ming in to answer.
And Qiao Yingze's eyes turned around his slightly open collar, and he still couldn't help stretching out his hand to tighten it before he felt relieved.
After Qiao Ming came in, he stared blankly at Gong Zhuoliang's plain face, then immediately collected his thoughts and reported the information he had found out in detail, but he couldn't help but mutter in his heart, thinking that this woman's make-up is too powerful!
"So, this passage was built by the old man for a tryst with a widow?"
After listening to Qiao Ming's inquiring gossip, Gong Zhuoliang questioned a little funny, thinking that the original owner of this house is really old, he is in his fifties or sixties, and he hired a beautiful widow in her twenties To be in the outer room, and to use a secret passage to go on a tryst... It's really emotional.
"Yes, it is said that the widow died of illness a few years ago, and the secret path was abandoned. Now the house has been changed, and the family is very ordinary. It is estimated that the house can be bought for seven or eighty taels."
Before Qiao Ming left, Gong Zhuoliang had asked him to inquire about the price of the house passed by the secret road, because the house was only two streets away from here, so there were not many houses in between, only five or six small courtyards. The prices are not very high.
"No, what about the one closest to our house?"
Gong Zhuoliang thought in his heart that if he was far away, he would have to set up a servant girl for the family alone, pretending to be someone living there, otherwise how could he hide it from outsiders, and then his own goings and goings would have no secrets at all, so he simply If you want the house closest to your own home, you can still have an excuse to go in and out of the two houses at will, and then use the maid at home as a "part-time job" to clean and tidy up, and you are not allowed to enter privately during the rest of the time, so that you are not afraid of leaking secrets.
"The closest one is facing the alley at the side entrance of our house. It is also a small family, but I heard that the family is well-off and the house is also very exquisite. I am afraid it will cost about two hundred taels to buy it."
Qiao Ming is very clever in his work. He really has inquired about all the houses along the way, even the left and right households, so he can deal with it very clearly at the moment.
"That's it."
Gong Zhuoliang was satisfied with the final decision, and asked Qiao Ming to finish the matter as soon as possible, then let him back down, and then turned around and threw Qiao Yingze on the couch for a meal, but this time he was patronizing himself to be happy, But he didn't find Qiao Yingze's worry that was hidden under indulgence in time.
At the beginning of March, the uncle of Qiao’s West Mansion, the real owner of Liang Zeshufang, Gong Zhuoliang, the author of the popular story book “Legends of Jianghu”, returned to his hometown in Bocheng for a temporary stay after a year and a half of traveling, and lived in Qiao Next door to Jiaxi Mansion.
After explaining so much, in fact, the only people who really know about this matter are the stewards of Liang Zeshufang and the people of Qiao's West Mansion, and this little uncle's new house is also arranged by his brother-in-law, even the servant girl They are all from the West Mansion, just because my uncle likes to be quiet, so the maids and servants still live in the West Mansion, and the uncle's basic necessities are also paid according to the master's share of the West Mansion. Even the kitchen in his own mansion is locked...
Of course, because of the existence of Liang Zeshufang and his own fame, no one would regard him as a poor relative of Pan Gaomen, but only as a close relationship. For example, after the little uncle called on his sister and brother-in-law, he happily asked his brother-in-law to go shopping the next day.
