Originally, the new daughter-in-law should go to their respective courtyards to greet the elders with tea, but because Gong Zhuoliang and Qiao Yingze were there, the old lady called her son and daughter-in-law to her room, and asked the granddaughter-in-law to pay their respects together.
Qiao Yingxuan's newlywed wife, Yang Yingmo, is eighteen years old. She is one year younger than Qiao Yingxuan. She is pretty and heroic. She is also tall and well-proportioned. She wears thick-soled shoes and is half taller than a southern girl in the room. Standing next to the handsome Qiao Yingxuan, he looked extremely right.
And Yang Yingmo not only has the dignified style of a rich lady, even the four maids behind her are all tall and refreshing. , Most of them became petty.
As soon as the two of them entered the room, everyone had smiles on their faces, especially Mrs. Qiao, who did not hide her joy at all, as if she was not a daughter-in-law, but a daughter-in-law. Even Master Qiao, who always liked to put on a show , also stroking his beard with a smile, seems to be very satisfied with this marriage, compared to Qiao Yingze and Gong Zhuoliang when they were newly married, they really look completely different.
Only the old lady, although she had a loving smile on her face, she inadvertently glanced at Qiao Yingze, and seeing that there was nothing unusual on the faces of the young couple, she sighed secretly and looked at Qiao Yingxuan and his wife, smiling dignifiedly After receiving the tea from the new wife, he picked up the box at hand and handed it over, which was similar to the one given to Gong Zhuoliang.
The old lady didn't have any ill feelings towards Xuan's daughter-in-law, but she was a little worried that her temper was too strong and her grandson couldn't hold her back, but for Gong Zhuoliang, the eldest daughter-in-law, she really hurt her heart. It was because of his coming to save Ai Sun's life, and also because of his generosity and understanding, and also because of a lot of guilt, after all, Qiao Yingze had been diagnosed as having a difficult heir...
Thinking about it this way, the old lady felt that she was doing the right thing when she secretly gave most of her private house to the young couple when they separated.
And when Mrs. Yang paid respects to Mr. Qiao and Mrs. Qiao, Mr. Qiao still took some teacups in a father-in-law style, but Mrs. Qiao took them in a hurry, as if the daughter-in-law would be tired after a while. Then when giving out the red envelope, not only the old lady frowned, but even Qiao Yingxuan, who couldn't hide her joy, became embarrassed and couldn't help but glance at her brother and sister-in-law.
At the beginning, others may not know how much Mrs. Qiao prepared for Gong Zhuoliang, but Qiao Yingxuan knew it well, and murmured to herself that it was a bit light, but now the set of jewelry she handed to Yang is very expensive just by looking at the box. Just to increase the status of the daughter-in-law in the mansion, it is too much to do it in front of the brothers and sisters-in-law.
"Thank you, mother-in-law."
Yang Yingmo saw her mother-in-law put on a high profile to everyone, took the box with a shy smile, and when she handed it to the maid behind her sideways, glanced at the old lady from the corner of her eye, seeing that her expression was really wrong, she moved her eyes slightly Looking at her husband, seeing that he was also a little embarrassed, her heart became clear, but although she had thought about it, she didn't show it at all, she stood up with Qiao Yingxuan's support with a smile, and faced the sitting The brother and sister-in-law next to him walked over.
Before the marriage was finalized, the Yang family sent people to Bocheng to investigate secretly, so they knew a lot about the affairs of Qiao's mansion, but they withdrew later and didn't know about Qiao Minyan's existence.
Although the Yang family and his wife looked down on the character of the cousin and his wife, seeing that she was guaranteed to be the youngest son of the family, they thought that instead of marrying their daughter to a stranger's house to suffer grievances, it would be better to go to the aunt's house to enjoy the blessings , so she let go of this marriage, and Yang Yingmo originally didn't like Qiao Yingxuan's 'do not do business', but later heard that he has a good reputation and is a straightforward person, so she finally agreed...
Recalling the way he solemnly confessed to herself last night, Yang Yingmo lowered her head and pursed her lips, then looked at Qiao Yingze and Gong Zhuoliang with a slight smile.
"Uncle please have tea, sister-in-law please have tea."
Because it wasn't the elders who didn't need to kneel anymore, so Yang Yingmo first respectfully wished Qiao Yingze a blessing, then handed over the teacup, and then bowed to Gong Zhuoliang for the tea.
Last night, after listening to Qiao Yingxuan say good things about her brother and sister-in-law for half an hour, Yang Yingmo was really curious about these two. Coupled with the matter of family separation and children, she also felt faintly grateful to these two. Although she felt that her husband was responsible, if she really allowed herself to be a mother after entering the door, she would not be virtuous.
"Congratulations."
Gong Zhuoliang saw that the 'sister-in-law' had a closeness on her face, although she didn't know the reason, but she was very happy that she didn't seem like a troublesome person, Gong Zhuoliang didn't want to look too arrogant, so he stood up after drinking tea Turning around, he smiled and handed over his gift.
It was a wind-up and beautifully crafted foreign music box, which is naturally very cheap in modern times, but in Qiao Yingze's era, it was really a rarity. Playthings, but they are precious because they can’t be bought even if they have money, just like those limited edition XXXs in modern times, Gong Zhuoliang’s is a gift from Gong Zhuoxiang last year, how could a man like him like this thing, It was placed in the library all the time, and Qiao Yingze only remembered it when he mentioned it. He thought the little girl would like it, so he took it as a gift for meeting his sister-in-law.
"Thank you sister."
Seeing Gong Zhuoliang's gift, Yang Yingmo's eyes lit up, and her voice became more friendly.
Yang Yingmo, who was born in an official family, knows that these things are rare. Although they are not very valuable playthings, they can only be bought by people with dignity. took a look.
Gong Zhuoliang really didn't intentionally make Mrs. Qiao look bad this time. After all, the value of this gift is much worse than what the old lady gave back then. It's just a plaything to please the little girl. As a meeting gift, if you don't take the opportunity to embarrass yourself, then Gong Zhuoliang's gift is really nothing, but Mrs. Qiao put on such a high posture of "I am the only one", but in a blink of an eye, Gong Zhuoliang gave it to him with a small music box. If you overwhelm the limelight, you are really looking for shame.
"When I saw Mo'er for the first time, I thought that the tall one was good-looking. Now that the two sisters-in-law are standing together, I realized that Yan girl is actually a little taller than Mo'er. I really didn't notice it before. Look at these two girls. , the appearance is also the same handsome, I am really blessed as an old woman."
Glancing at Mrs. Qiao who was twisting her veil tightly, the old lady's loving eyes fell on Gong Zhuoliang who seemed neither humble nor overbearing, she nodded and smiled and changed the subject.
It's just that the meaning behind the words is to remind everyone not to forget the rules of seniority, even though Xuan'er Yifang is in charge of the family now, they must not lose their respect for the eldest grandson Yifang.
"Of course grandma is blessed..."
The old lady's unintentional words frightened both Gong Zhuoliang and Qiao Yingze. Seeing that everyone didn't pay attention to this aspect, the two of them secretly breathed a sigh of relief. While offering tea, he bid farewell and left Dongfu.
"Looking at it, I can't hide it..."
After leaving Dongfu, Gong Zhuoliang and his wife were a little worried sitting in the carriage. In terms of appearance, Gong Zhuoliang wore makeup like this, and the change should not be obvious after a year or two. I really can't hide it from people. The old lady just said it casually today, but if everyone pays attention to it, it is easy to find something wrong. After all, even if Gong Zhuoliang bears the name of his sister, it will only be after the New Year. Sixteen, two years younger than my sister-in-law.
"But the younger brother is only getting married right now, and we have to wait until the younger brother and sister are pregnant, so that there will be less resistance to our plan."
The plan Qiao Yingze mentioned is naturally to let 'Gong Zhuoyan die of illness'. According to their thinking, it is best to be sick when Yang is pregnant, so that the old lady and the others will naturally avoid it in order not to affect the pregnant woman. Going to the West Mansion, let alone letting Gong Zhuoliang go to the East Mansion to recuperate, would save a lot of trouble.
Then when Yang died of illness during childbirth, they had to avoid even the funeral. If Yang gave birth to a son and Qiao Yingze proposed to marry Gong Zhuoliang to "fill the house", the resistance would be much smaller. Daughter, then they will wait and see at worst and make a decision according to the situation.
In any case, they have to hide it now, and they can't fall short at this time.
"The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and this is also the first year that we have split up and lived alone. When both sides are busy, there is nothing to do except worship ancestors, and our Min Yan's Zhou Zhou, because the younger siblings have entered the door If I think about it, my grandmother wouldn't pick him up to do it in the East Mansion. In our own mansion, we can find an excuse to say that I hurt my leg. I just don't stand in front of them. I'll be hurt for a hundred days. In mid-April, we just avoided going to Zhuangzi outside the city, which is about the same."
Gong Zhuoliang sat cross-legged and propped his chin with his hands clenched, thinking about his plan, thinking that he had just passed his birthday for a while, and he would have to struggle again from next year, but thinking about it, he would be fifteen years old in two months. , finally can...
"Now it seems that we can only arrange it like this first, but you have to work hard to dress up those ones."
Qiao Yingze felt that Gong Zhuoliang's arrangement was very appropriate, but seeing that he had a smile on his face while talking, Qiao Yingze was a little puzzled as to why he was thinking of something happy.
"It's not hard, it's really good, it's not hard at all."
Gong Zhuoliang smiled, squinted his eyes, leaned forward, threw Qiao Yingze on the cushion, pretended to be tired and lay on top of him, unable to get up, but in fact his mind had already turned to a very impure aspect, and for him The fearless Qiao Yingze was still lying flat so that Gong Zhuoliang could lie down more comfortably, without even the slightest sense of crisis.
It's just that they didn't expect that the changes would come so quickly...
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX is the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, the first birthday of Qiao Minyan, the adopted son of Gong Zhuoliang and Qiao Yingze, and because Gong Zhuoliang broke his leg in a "bad" fall on the 12th, there is no big event for this birthday, just invited some people from both sides It's just half a day of eating, drinking and drinking in Xifu with relatives and friends.
Because the old lady came in person in the East Mansion, Mrs. Qiao and her new daughter-in-law, Mrs. Yang, also came along, but the identity of this child was somewhat embarrassing to Mrs. Yang. After the ceremony, he took his leave and left after he finished catching, while the old lady didn't go back until the banquet was over.
Speaking of this, Gong Zhuoliang really admired Qiao Yingxuan's courage. He actually explained Qiao Minyan's life experience to Yang on the night of their marriage. Discuss the matter face to face, so as not to be embarrassing in the future, and make a formal apology guarantee that she will never take concubine's heart, and the little girl Yang Yingmo really has an idea. I don't know what the couple have agreed in private. Her tenderness and sweetness make others envious.
As for Qiao Minyan's catching Zhou, that scene was really interesting. I don't know if it's because Gong Zhuoliang's usual education is too good, and the children are too close to them. He grabbed it, but in the end he didn't keep anything in his hand. While throwing it, he looked up at Gong Zhuoliang and Qiao Yingze, smiling so cutely, but seeing that they didn't come to hug him as usual, the little guy actually put his hands together. Supporting the ground, he stood up by himself, then staggered to the two of them, hugged Qiao Yingze's calf with one hand, and grabbed Gong Zhuoliang's clothes with the other hand, causing the guests to laugh and say that this child will be Extremely filial, nothing is as good as his parents in his eyes.
Although these are just auspicious words, they are really happy to hear. Gong Zhuoliang almost picked up his son and kissed him. Fortunately, he still has some self-control. Remembering that his leg was still hurt, he asked Qiao Yingze to hug his son and put him back. In the middle of the pile.
But Qiao Minyan, when the two of them were playing with him, and he was just about to walk and couldn't sit still, he got up and ran towards them again, giggling happily.
After doing this twice, Qiao Yingze had no choice but to sit on the ground with him. This time the little guy finally became honest, and started to play with things on the ground, grabbing one and throwing it as a matter of course, pushing away the ones that can't be thrown, and then grabbing and throwing again... Finally, when everyone couldn't laugh anymore, Tired of playing, the little ancestor leaned on his father's lap with a beautiful machete in his arms and went to sleep.
Smiling and responding to everyone's congratulations on becoming a general, Gong Zhuoliang actually knew what kind of general this kid is going to be. Take it, children in this period just like bright and shiny things.
After Qiao Minyan's Catch Zhou Ceremony, 'Gong Zhuoyan' was recuperating in the inner house due to a leg injury, but Gong Zhuoliang was able to come out to have fun. Now his first book has been serialized for more than a year and has officially come to an end. Books and hardcovers were selling well, and he counted the income of bookstores and Zhuangzi in various places during the year. However, Qiao Yingxuan sent someone over to say that he and his wife will come over to visit them tomorrow...
Gong Zhuoliang looked at the calendar, thinking that tomorrow is the sixth day of February, which is not a day, and besides, he didn't come to visit until the end of last month, so now he is in a hurry to come, could something happen
