"Sanggong, what did that bitch tell you just now to make you so unhappy?"
Putting his hands on the side wall and the back wall of the sedan chair, Gong Zhuoliang turned sideways towards Qiao Yingze, confining him in a small range, and with the light shaking of the sedan chair, when Gong Zhuoliang spoke, his lips moved several times. They almost touched Qiao Yingze's lips.
If it weren't for the need to maintain the balance of the sedan chair, Gong Zhuoliang would have been on top of it with his whole body.
"Lu Wuju? Some frivolous words, don't pay attention to them."
Because of Gong Zhuoliang's closeness, he had to lean back against the car wall, Qiao Yingze's eyes turned on Gong Zhuoliang's face, and there was a smile in his eyes... Little daughter-in-law, are you jealous
"It's true that that person looks a little scheming, and it's better to have less contact with him in the future."
In fact, although Lu Zijian's behavior was a bit frivolous, he still kept his etiquette and did not really do anything too much. From another perspective, this type of yuppie taste, on the contrary, the former Gong Zhuoliang was more able to play together to go.
But now the other party is targeting his wife, so Gong Zhuoliang must not let it go, he must be completely isolated from Qiao Yingze's life circle.
"That's not the case. Ying Xuan hates dissolute people the most, but he can be so friendly with this Lu Wuju. Presumably, that person's nature is not bad. He is a Wuju man and Ying Xuan's senior brother. We will have nothing to do in the future." If you want to entrust him to take care of Ying Xuan, how can you not contact him?"
Qiao Yingze spoke seriously, and he was quite protective of Lu Zijian during the conversation, as if he couldn't see Gong Zhuoliang's jealousy at all.
However, the smile hidden in Qiao Yingze's eyes grew stronger.
"Ah? Maybe the second uncle doesn't know people well..."
Accustomed to Qiao Yingze's 'obedient', suddenly being refuted by him as a matter of course, Gong Zhuoliang really couldn't find an excuse to object, so he could only look at him with wide eyes, and casually said a reason.
"Then as an older brother, I should help him understand the good test and not let him be led astray."
Qiao Yingze looked at Gong Zhuoliang more and more innocently, and suddenly understood why he always liked to see him embarrassed, just like now, seeing his dull appearance, he also finds it very interesting and cute.
"No... oh, you hum on purpose!"
Noticing the uncontrollable smile on Qiao Yingze's face, Gong Zhuoliang realized that he was being teased, and now he narrowed his eyes and pressed closer to Qiao Yingze, and the hand supporting the side wall of the sedan chair changed to pinch his chin.
"Ah… "
Qiao Yingze smiled lightly, but first leaned forward to enclose Gong Zhuoliang's lips, sticking out the tip of his tongue to lick his jaw, but in the next moment, Gong Zhuoliang turned against him and pressed down on the car wall to kiss him deeply.
"Zhuo... don't... still on the way..."
Sensing that Gong Zhuoliang's movements were getting more and more presumptuous, Qiao Yingze couldn't help but blushed and grabbed his hand that was about to reach into his clothes, and stopped him softly in his ear.
Right now they are sitting in the sedan chair, any movement will be found to be abnormal, not to mention that they will get out of the sedan chair and enter the door later, they will be noticed.
"I don't want to kiss you face to face, so please don't cry out, sir, just don't move around."
Gong Zhuoliang licked Qiao Yingze's rosy lips that had already been kissed, followed his chin all the way to his Adam's apple, and finally reached into his open collar, leaving spots of hickey marks on his neck and collarbone, and was caught by Qiao Yingze The touched hands also stroked his chest again, kneading a fruit grain through the clothes.
"Zhuo... um... stop making trouble... go back... at night..."
Being teased by Gong Zhuoliang made her whole body tense, Qiao Yingze didn't dare to move or make a sound, and was not as thick-skinned as Gong Zhuoliang to flirt outside, Qiao Yingze pursed her lips and tried to hold back her desire, and had to support herself against the sedan chair wall to avoid the two of them. Unbalanced, in the end it was too much to bear, so I could only sue Rao in a low voice.
"At night? Then, Mr. Xiang, you will follow me anyway?"
Gong Zhuoliang's eyes lit up when he heard the words, he finally stopped doing evil, and looked at the relieved Qiao Yingze with a smirk.
It has been more than half a month since the last time they did it. During this period, Qiao Yingze has been using him as an excuse to avoid excessive intimacy, and Gong Zhuoliang also intends to take care of himself, so he just followed him, but today he doesn't want to bear it anymore , and doing it once in half a month won't hurt anything.
"Well... then don't recruit me now."
Taking advantage of Gong Zhuoliang's stopping time to catch his breath, Qiao Yingze looked down at his expectant look, and couldn't help showing a conniving smile on his face.
Qiao Yingze had figured it out a long time ago. Since they are a husband and wife, there is nothing to let go of in the privacy of their relationship, as long as they both like it.
"good!"
Gong Zhuoliang gave a naughty smile, and finally let go of Qiao Yingze and sat up straight. While arranging his messed up clothes for him, he thought about how to take them off one by one at night.
The sedan chair wobbled for half an hour, and when they returned to their West Mansion, the two of them saw nothing unusual except that their lips were a little redder than usual.
Because Qiao Yingze didn't participate in business matters, Gong Zhuoliang handed over all matters to Shi Kang and the steward Zhou recommended by him, so in the next few days, Gong Zhuoliang officially went to the field in his own capacity. inspect.
Because he heard that Manager Zhou was interested in Ruo Lan, Gong Zhuoliang took this opportunity to observe him carefully, and found that this young man like a white-faced scholar was really a business talent, what was even more rare was that he was smart and not Without benevolence and righteousness, he is quite self-sufficient.
The steward this week was originally running the bookstore, and his family was considered wealthy. He originally helped run the bookstore in order to repay Shi Kang’s life-saving grace, but later he really became interested, so he simply merged his own bookstore into it and occupied it. With half the bonus, coupled with his 'high salary' as the general manager, his life became better and better.
It's a pity that because of the death of his parents, he was ordered to forcibly suppress his wife. The daughter of a good family did not dare to marry him, and he himself wanted to marry a good man and refused to give in, so that he was not engaged at the age of twenty, but his fate was hard. Gong Zhuoliang didn't believe what he said, so he directly overcame this big shortcoming in the eyes of the world. He had some scruples, so he didn't rush to make a match, but just helped watch over this gifted stock first, and waited for Ruolan to make up his mind.
Time flies to the beginning of May, and Gong Zhuoliang no longer needs to act in the name of Gong Zhuoyan. Finally, Gong Zhuoliang can let go of his hands and feet, carry out the development steps he had planned a long time ago, and personally supervise the series of anniversary activities of the bookstore .
With Qiao Yingze's contribution from the family, Gong Zhuoliang renovated the bookstore more elegantly, and officially opened the quiet reading room where you can read for free with only the tea fee. The small storefront on the second floor.
There is also a member discount system, such as how much discount you can get if you buy enough silver. In addition, magazines have also selected rankings based on readers' votes—his own "Legends of Jianghu" is the top of the list, and there is something like Chinese New Year. The practice at the time was to merit the release of single volumes, collections, etc.
For this reason, Gong Zhuoliang has been really busy for a while, and it has also won him the sincere admiration of Xifu and Shufang. He no longer thinks that the young uncle's achievements are due to his sister and brother-in-law, and the legend of the story is in the middle and lower levels. It is easy to spread among the crowd, so most of these servants have become Gong Zhuoliang's 'fans', and their respect for him is almost no less than that of Qiao Yingze, a serious and respectful master.
Gong Zhuoliang was very satisfied with this, so he became more motivated. He could get up by himself every day without Qiao Yingze yelling. At night, Qiao Yingze often fell asleep before he got busy and climbed into bed. But the more busy he was, the more Gong Zhuoliang On the contrary, his spiritual head has become stronger, and even his temperament has become more stable... Or it should be said that he is more and more able to regain the feeling of being an adult.
"Young master, it's been a long time since the bookstore is free, so you can take a good rest for two days, you see you've lost weight again."
Ruo Lan entered the bedroom with a cup of sweet soup, and seeing Gong Zhuoliang piled up another table of account books there, she felt distressed and went over to pinch his shoulders for him.
"I'm trying to get taller. I can't keep up with my height, so I feel thinner."
Gong Zhuoliang put down the account book and stretched, then closed his sore eyes and leaned on the back of the chair to let Ruo Lan massage himself, thinking about taking off all the make-up after dinner.
A few days ago, because he was busy with the bookstore, he ran out all day, so he simply let the young lady "rest in peace". He had just been free for the past two days, so he used the name of the young lady to hang around in the mansion again, letting My uncle went to 'go out to visit friends'.
"Master, it's the birthday of Master Gong at the end of the month, and Mrs. Gong is going to set up a banquet. I just sent an invitation card. Do you see it?"
Ruo Lan thought of the news that came along with the invitation today, and couldn't help but burst out laughing. After attracting Gong Zhuoliang's suspicious gaze, she whispered it in Gong Zhuoliang's ear.
It turned out that Gong Zhuoliang's eldest brother, the young master of the Gong family, Gong Zhuoyu had another daughter, and this was already his twelfth daughter, but he didn't have a son yet.
"Twelve hairpins, this is... not a whole life, let's prepare according to last year's etiquette, and then make twelve gold hairpins, as a gift for my nieces."
Gong Zhuoliang also sneered when he heard the words, thinking a little badly in his heart, his cheap big brother who is full of evil spirits, probably won't be able to bear a son in this life, and there is no need to count on his side, so the Gong family will be considered as the last one. ... It seems that nothing can hit the Gong family more than this.
Since the family separated after the year, Gong Zhuoliang let Qiao Yingze play the role of the big villain, and frightened Mrs. Gong with the fact that the man of the Gong family married a woman, and coupled with the so-called truth given by Gong Zhuoliang, made Mrs. Gong believe that Qiao Yingze endured this matter because he was abandoned by his family and had no money. In the end, the couple used this to make a lot of money. The couple drew a line. Now, the invitation was sent so formally all of a sudden. It seemed that the tigress had realized that she had been cheated, and she wanted to settle accounts with herself.
Thinking of this, Gong Zhuoliang's eyes flickered, and the corners of his mouth slightly curled up... Unfortunately, it was too late to understand.
"Master, what do you want to do?"
Seeing Gong Zhuoliang showing such a naughty smile, Ruo Lan knew that he had an idea, and couldn't help asking curiously.
"It's not confirmed yet. Don't worry about the Gong family in advance. You and Ye'er quietly prepare your things for going out. Later, we will go to the summer resort for a few days. By the way, is Xianggong still in the study?"
Picking up the sweet soup and taking a few sips, Gong Zhuo Conscience said that he was too busy these days, and had neglected his little husband, so he had to take advantage of these two days to settle all the family accounts, and then go to Zhuangzi to spend time together Fake, spend a few days with Xiao Xianggong.
Since the family split and got those few sums of money, Gong Zhuoliang has been able to inject a large sum of money into the bookstore, which saves a lot of time for its development speed compared to the original plan. In the future, basically there is no need to bother, just sit back and wait for the stable operation Ben made money.
After all, the focus of Gong Zhuoliang's career is writing rather than real business. He opened a bookstore to pave the way for his own novels, and also because this will not be regarded as a bad businessman. So among the rest of the money, except for some living expenses, the rest of Gong Zhuoliang bought the land and farms at his discretion, and then rented them out like other landlords except for a little food and vegetable land for his own food. The rent money collected is enough for the couple to live in luxury for several years.
Therefore, Gong Zhuoliang deeply felt that it would be good for him to concentrate on staying at home, to accompany his husband to travel in the mountains and rivers in his spare time, and to do more things he loves to do, that is life.
"Understood, my uncle is still showing you the manuscript."
Ruo Lan memorized Gong Zhuoliang's instructions, then put away the soup cup and left, while Gong Zhuoliang simply pushed the account book away after seeing the sky, and went to the study to see her husband.
Ever since Qiao Yingze sent the figure painting to Gong Zhuoliang, Gong Zhuoliang gave him all the drafts he had written. As expected, Qiao Yingze revised very seriously, carefully deliberating every chapter, much more careful than the author Gong Zhuoliang.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX Ruo Lan left the yard and was about to go to the kitchen to look for Han Shu, but a maid guarding outside the yard told her that Manager Zhou had come, saying that she had something to report, so Ruo Lan gave the tray to the maid and took it to the kitchen, and subconsciously sorted it out After changing his clothes, he went to the side door facing Gong Zhuoliang's small house, and talked to those inside and outside his door.
"Miss Ruolan, excuse me."
The fair and clean youth gracefully bowed slightly to Ruolan. Although the polite man didn't look directly at Ruolan's face, he couldn't help but take the opportunity to look at him when he was speaking.
Usually, Manager Zhou would wait at the side door when he came to report, but since Gong Zhuoliang's boss came back, he never had a chance to find Ruo Lan again, and this time Gong Zhuoliang went out to visit friends, so they had to report to his wife in advance, He immediately found a reason to meet people.
"Don't dare, why does Zhou Guanshi want to report to Madam?"
Ruolan lowered her eyes slightly to bless Fushen, then faced the occasional gaze from Zhou Guanshi, she shyly turned sideways to avoid the confrontation.
Ruolan knew that the person in front of her was a little different to her, but whenever her heart began to waver, another Yingwei extraordinary figure would appear in her mind, making her dare not think about it any more. It has always been faintly affectionate and unintentional, and Ruolan was afraid that she was being affectionate, so she slowly dragged it down like this, and there has been no further development until now.
"It was found out that some of the magazine manuscripts were leaked. The offender was an apprentice with a seal. He has been sent to the yamen in public according to the young master's previous intention..."
Zhou Guanshi picked and picked the things in the bookstore, and then it was basically a small talk. Although the two of them had a tacit understanding and did not mention personal matters, the warm atmosphere gradually became a little ambiguous. But just as Manager Zhou was about to leave and leave, there was a sound of horseshoes in the alley. He subconsciously turned around and saw a few tall young men approaching slowly on horseback. The style of the body, the appearance is also handsome and extraordinary.
"Gong... my lord!"
Seeing that Manager Zhou was stunned, Ruo Lan looked out the door for a while in doubt, but froze in surprise at the next moment, the young man sitting on the horse was not his young master's cousin Gong Zhuoxiang !
"Where is who?"
From a distance, there was only one person standing in the alley, Gong Zhuoxiang waved for the guards to knock on the door of the small house, and at the same time urged the horse to walk towards that person slowly.
"!"
Manager Zhou, who was looking sideways at Gong Zhuoxiang, made a booing gesture. Ruo Lan held his breath and hid at the door, hoping not to be discovered by Gong Zhuoxiang. Why did he suddenly appear here, looking at the dusty appearance, it seems that he came here directly, and how did he know about the small house outside
"The little one is a servant of this mansion, I don't know this lord..."
From the corner of the eye, I saw Ruo Lan's panicked expression, Zhou Guanshi's expression remained unchanged, and he saluted Gong Zhuoxiang with a humble and polite appearance, but he only said that he was a servant of the mansion, but did not say that it was the Qiao mansion here. Or the palace over there.
"Then do you know where this little uncle of the Qiao family is now?"
Gong Zhuoxiang didn't notice that there was anyone in the yard, he only thought that Steward Zhou was going to enter through that door, and seeing that his subordinates knocked on the door and no one answered, he asked him again.
"Master Gong went out to visit friends two days ago, and he said he would be back in a few days. Is this Master Gong's friend? Do you need to go in and let me know."
Manager Zhou responded tactfully, with his head lowered as if 'I'm just a passer-by, and I don't know much'.
"No need, we will post a greeting post later."
Gong Zhuoxiang saw that no one was blocked, so he didn't want to stay here any longer. They drove for a few days, so they should find an inn to rest for a night, and come to Qiao's house tomorrow to ask for clarification. .
"Hoo..."
Hearing the sound of horseshoes outside gradually going away, Ruo Lan let out a long breath, and turned her head to see Manager Zhou looking at her, his gentle eyes were full of concern, Ruo Lan couldn't help but Jump a beat faster.
"That was the cousin of our young lady and the young master just now... I have to go back and report to the young lady quickly. Manager Zhou, go slowly."
Hurriedly using Fuli's movements to cover up her panic, Ruolan didn't dare to look at Guanshi Zhou again, and hurried to the inner courtyard, leaving only the fair young man watching her back, and didn't take it back for a long time. look.
