"Min Yan, this is not acceptable."
Sensing Qiao Minyan's approach, Gong Zhuoliang, who was pressing on Qiao Yingze's body, turned his face sideways, and spread his five fingers against the little guy's big head, preventing him from crawling over.
"Hold, mom, hug, eat..."
Qiao Minyan put his head against Gong Zhuoliang's hand and continued to crawl, baby talk mixed with a few words he only knew, but he still didn't feel annoyed at all, he just kept chasing dishonestly.
"Stop bullying him."
Qiao Yingze, who was still under the pressure, struggled to get up, but the part that was tightly pressed was pushed by the opponent, and he couldn't help but let out a soft snort and lost his strength again.
"Sanggong, I'm already like this, you still only care about him, are you bullying me?"
Gong Zhuoliang slightly pushed Qiao Minyan to his back slowly, because it was a soft couch, he wasn't worried that the child would hurt, but the sudden change of position made the little guy feel dazed, stretching out his little arms and legs. It took a long time to turn over, and then crawled to sit up again, looking at his unscrupulous father with tears in his eyes, his little mouth moved as if he was about to cry.
"What kind of jealousy are you with him? Min Yan is good, don't cry, don't cry..."
Qiao Yingze pinched Gong Zhuoliang's chin and shook it amusedly, then pushed him away, gathered his clothes, picked up Qiao Minyan who was about to start crying, and patted and coaxed him, and walked to the small hall next to him He called Ye'er and asked her to take the little guy to the next room to be nursed by the nanny.
"Sir, come here."
Gong Zhuoliang who was pushed away simply turned over and lay down on the couch, not caring that his clothes were still disheveled, leaning on the pillow with half-opened skirts and raised his chin to Qiao Yingze.
"You..."
Qiao Yingze was amused by Gong Zhuoliang's uncle, just about to shake his head, but after thinking about it for a few days, he finally walked over softly, took off his shoes and got on the bed, then followed Gong Zhuoliang's suggestive gaze, leaned over and turned his face Placed on his crotch, slender fingers unzipped his belt.
"Um… "
Gong Zhuoliang raised his head comfortably and squinted his eyes, letting out a sigh of relief. His fingers stroked Qiao Yingze's neatly combed hair all the way down, lingering on the soft earlobes and delicate neck.
"You keep saying that you're going to ask me for a special gift for your birthday this year, and it will arrive in a few days. Why don't you tell me what it is? What should I do if I don't have time to prepare it?"
Putting his fingers together and stroking the hard object that was not inferior to him, Qiao Yingze looked at Gong Zhuoliang's emotional and comfortable appearance with some fascination, so that he could fully feel Gong Zhuoliang's unsuspecting trust and dependence on him .
"Don't worry, Mr. Xiang, you can easily prepare this gift."
Still enjoying Qiao Yingze's service with his eyes closed, Gong Zhuoliang had an aggressive smile on his lips.
Speaking of it, Gong Zhuoliang really admired his perseverance, he really resisted not touching Qiao Yingze's back, and he didn't even let him find out that he had plans behind him... Gong Zhuoliang really expected Qiao Yingze to know the gift he wanted When was the reaction.
"Is that so... um..."
Seeing that Gong Zhuoliang was so mysterious, Qiao Yingze was curious, but he still held back and didn't ask any more questions. Instead, he lowered his head and carefully took care of the little Gong in his hand, imitating Gong Zhuoliang's usual skills. To make him more comfortable.
At the moment, the two of them didn't talk any more, it was just a comfortable enjoyment, a considerate service, but Gong Zhuoliang didn't dare to play too much, otherwise he would be the one who would feel uncomfortable if he stopped it, so after he just had a little fun, he would take it lightly. Released with a snort.
"Ahem..."
Even though he has helped Gong Zhuoliang in this way many times, Qiao Yingze still couldn't take it calmly, covered his mouth and swallowed it blushing, hurriedly got up and wanted to drink the water on the couch table, but unexpectedly, Gong Zhuoliang dragged his arm She fell back on the couch, and the eager kiss was already suppressed.
"Zhuo Zhuo, stop making trouble, let's eat first."
Sensing Gong Zhuoliang's hand reaching into his clothes again, Qiao Yingze hurriedly grabbed his wrist to stop it, panting lightly, trying to break free from under him.
"Let's eat yours first, Xianggong obviously wants it too."
Gong Zhuoliang lazily pressed on Qiao Yingze's body but couldn't get up, and deliberately straightened his waist to squeeze his already energetic parts, which made Qiao Yingze tremble again, and the strength of grabbing his wrist was almost gone, making Gong Zhuoliang Zhuo Liang easily broke through the defense line and directly attacked the vital points.
"Not now, Zhuo Zhuo, how is the evening?"
Qiao Yingze resisted the impulse and stopped Gong Zhuoliang. If he did such a thing in broad daylight, no one would be able to tell that Gong Zhuoliang was "sick in bed", and he couldn't hide it on his face.
"Well... not good!"
Gong Zhuoliang looked down at Qiao Yingze's shy face, he knew that he was thin-skinned and couldn't stand these things, but the more he was like this, the more Gong Zhuoliang wanted to bully him, so he stopped his movements pretending to hesitate, and then took advantage of Qiao Yingze's After letting go of his hand with a sigh of relief, he immediately kissed his lips with a smirk, and at the same time put one arm around his waist and the other held his weak spot...
After Qiao Yingze was released, Gong Zhuoliang snickered at the awkward look of him turning over and lying on his back, took a few sips from the water glass on the couch table, then lay on Qiao Yingze's body and coaxed him to feed him a few sips. Only then was he satisfied and covered him with a thin quilt, and went down to the ground to call Ruo Lan and the others to cook.
Apart from the two of them and Qiao Minyan, only Ruolan and Ye'er live here in their yard, while Hanshu is the only one who can come and go freely in the wife's house. The other maids, whether they are personal maids or rough envoys, live in the small courtyard next door, and are not allowed to come in and out without being summoned. Even Qiao Minyan's nanny only lives in the courtyard at night, and stays with other maids during the day. Waiting in the small courtyard, only when the child needs to be fed will he be called in, but for the sake of safety, Gong Zhuoliang is still cautious and only walks around the room without applying makeup.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX On February 12th, the old lady chose the auspicious day for the crowning ceremony for Qiao Yingze. Because Gong Zhuoliang's leg injury is not conducive to walking, it was only Shi Kang who accompanied Qiao Yingze to the East Mansion to receive the ceremony, and Gong Zhuoliang felt sorry for him. Read manuscripts at home together, and select manuscripts for the two main serial slots that will be vacated next month.
In fact, Qiao Yingze represents the important crowning ceremony of twenty-year-old adulthood. Gong Zhuoliang really wanted to change into men's clothes to watch the ceremony, but Qiao Yingze was afraid that the slow treatment of those relatives would make Gong Zhuoliang unhappy. After all, Gong Zhuoliang was just a family of merchants in name The concubine who was expelled from the house, his relatives with high eyesight would definitely not give him good face, and Gong Zhuo Liang really didn't need to suffer this anger in vain.
So Qiao Yingze hesitated for a while and still didn't agree with Gong Zhuoliang to go. He just said that it was just a boring etiquette such as changing clothes three times, combing hair three times and putting on a crown, and then being given a watch letter by the teacher. With so many worries, just listening to what he said was extremely boring, so he gave up his mind and stayed at home honestly waiting for him to come back.
"Ping, Big Brother Shi was away on a business trip a few days ago, are you living in the mansion well?"
Gong Zhuoliang read the conference draft, saw Ping Xi's relaxed and carefree face, and thought about Shi Kang who lived across the courtyard from him, the smile on his face looked a bit malicious.
Because the West Mansion is a garden-style building, the focus is on the scenery, so there are not many courtyards built, and there are only a few big three and nine small ones in total, while the other servants have built a few houses for the inner and outer houses. There are three large courtyards next to each other. Except for the one where Gong Zhuoliang and his wife live, and the one prepared for Qiao Yingxuan and his brothers, there is also a large courtyard that is idle, and the other six small courtyards. There are three adjacent guest courtyards in the east and west. Qiao Ming and He Hanshu lived in the west courtyard, and Pingxi and Shi Kang lived in the east courtyard. Of course, that was just to hide the view In fact, Shi Kang's courtyard was empty nine and a half out of ten days.
"Mrs. Xie is sympathetic, so it is very satisfactory."
Hearing this, Ping Xi raised her eyes to look at Gong Zhuoliang, and returned him a playful smile.
Ping Xi doesn't know why she treats Gong Zhuoliang so differently. The indifference that has been honed over the years is always easy to fail when encountering his incomprehension, as if some troubles are left to him It seems that the body can become worthless, making people feel heavy even if they want to be heavy.
"How many times have I said it, don't call me your lord or madam in private, why don't you and brother Shi just listen."
Gong Zhuoliang's stubbornness towards these two people can be regarded as nothing, and he doesn't know why these two people are so stubborn, even though he regards you as a confidant and good friend in his heart, he still has to distinguish between the upper, the middle, and the lower in terms of status. Not willing to talk about equality.
Moreover, as far as Gong Zhuoliang knew, Pingxi had saved a lot of private property before, and the rest was enough for him and Shi Kangfeng to live a life of sufficient food and clothing, but the two of them didn't mean to live alone here. Even Ping Xi offered to help manage the errands of the family and the bookstore, and took the monthly order of the management, expressing his attitude that he would "sell himself" to them like Shi Kang.
Although Qiao Yingze explained that Pingxi is from a lowly family, and this kind of attachment behavior is more beneficial and safe for his own future, Gong Zhuoliang still feels a little awkward, but he is really worried about Pingxi leaving the house like this. So in the end it's just the way it is.
"I think this one is better, what do you think?"
Pingxi looked at Gong Zhuoliang with a faint smile, not professing any loyalty in this matter, but changed the subject without answering his words.
Ping Xi knew that Gong Zhuoliang and his wife wanted to set them free, but with his current status, there was no hope for a serious future, and he was unwilling to drag Shi Kang down to be a gangster and wait to die So they decided to stay with Gong Zhuoliang and Qiao Yingze, firstly to repay their kindness and friendship, and secondly to seek a future for themselves...
Ping Xi is very optimistic about Qiao Yingze's knowledge and Gong Zhuoliang's ability, and firmly believes that the two of them will be nothing in the pool in the future. Therefore, in order to be able to get along intimately in the long run, Ping Xi made a rational position for herself and Shi Kang. In terms of friendship, they can regard Gong Zhuoliang and Qiao Yingze as confidants and relatives, but in terms of status, they must never go beyond this master-slave relationship, because Some trust and intimacy can only be established on the basis of one party's dependence on the other, while the so-called equal relationship will always be two unstable individuals, and it is impossible to form a real bond system.
If you ask for something, you have to give it. This point, Ping Xi, who has been struggling to survive in the palace for nearly ten years, has a deep understanding.
"... Ping, well, just use this one."
Gong Zhuoliang has already told Pingxi many times what should be said, but he is always blocked by Pingxi's "the name is not important, as long as you know what you want", so he just complains habitually, and puts the topic aside. Back to business.
In the afternoon, when Qiao Yingze came back from the East Mansion, he had already changed into a rather luxurious and exquisite brocade robe, and his hair crown was replaced with a gold crown inlaid with precious stones and jade, which changed his usual gentle and elegant image of a cleanser , looked very handsome and affectionate, and Gong Zhuoliang was stunned for half a minute, then he rushed over and pulled him into the room... The next day, Qiao Yingze changed back to his usual green shirt and plain crown when he went out to the outside world. But in his closet, there were gradually several sets of beautiful clothes and crowns.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX Because Gong Zhuoliang is quite well-known now, he also has his own relationship, and he can't just pass it off to Qiao Yingze in private on his birthday like in previous years, but he is also really impatient with those For a social occasion, on the grounds that the house could not entertain outsiders, a large yard was reserved in the restaurant, a theater troupe was invited, and a few tables of wine were set up, and friends, subordinates, business partners and so on were arranged to sit on separate tables. Then they let them eat, drink and be merry, he just searched for a table and poured wine a few times and then ignored it.
Gong Zhuoliang sat at the main table with Qiao Yingze and Qiao Yingxuan, accompanied by young masters who had hunted and drank wine with them, many of them were book fans who admired Gong Zhuoliang and admired Qiao Yingze, so everyone had a good meal. Have fun, and Gong Zhuoliang, as today's protagonist, is naturally given a lot of alcohol, but with Shi Kang, a master of stealing, 80% of the people who enter Gong Zhuoliang's mouth are water, so after the birthday party is over Gong Zhuoliang, who was originally drunk and lying down, came back to life with vigor, and happily went home with Qiao Yingze to continue the world of the two.
"Ying Xuan's etiquette seems to be a bit heavy..."
After returning home, Qiao Yingze asked Ruo Lan and the others to prepare hot water. When he returned home, he saw that Gong Zhuoliang had already taken off his coat and was sitting at the table looking at the gift list. He casually opened Qiao Yingxuan's gift list, frowned slightly, and sat down Gong Zhuoliang's side.
Proceedings between relatives are all regulated, and this kind of ceremony is a bit heavy for Qiao Yingze, not to mention that Gong Zhuoliang is only his brother's in-law in name.
"Half of it is for my sister-in-law, presumably as a gift from my younger siblings."
Gong Zhuoliang had heard from Qiao Yingxuan in private that half of the gift came from his wife's private house, and it was a gift for his sister-in-law.
"That's no wonder. Speaking of it, it's rare for younger brothers and sisters to have such character. Ying Xuan is a blessed one."
Hearing that it was a gift from his younger siblings, Qiao Yingze nodded understandingly, and a smile could not help but gleam in his eyes.
This matter has to start from the day they came to announce the good news. Because of Gong Zhuoliang's explanation, Yang Yingmo hesitated for two days after going back, and chose to have a good talk with Qiao Yingxuan. After getting Qiao Yingxuan's assurance, Xiao The two of them directed a scene of a virtuous daughter-in-law. Yang Yingmo first mentioned to the old lady and his wife about giving her husband a house, and the older generation praised her very much, and then Qiao Yingxuan refused the matter with a strong attitude. , showing his determination to never accept a concubine, which made the older generation feel both emotional and gratified and praised Qiao Yingxuan once more, making this young couple more and more painful to the heart. It can be described as a happy family reunion ending...
"Sir, what about my character as a wife?"
Seeing the unconcealable look of disappointment in Qiao Yingze's eyes, Gong Zhuoliang lifted his chin with his fingers, and squinted at him intentionally.
"Nature is the best, and being a husband is the most blessed person."
Qiao Yingze was amused by Gong Zhuoliang's appearance, and the sentimentality in his heart was instantly diluted... Now that he has a wife and son, he is so happy and complete, why should he envy others
"Well, be good... My husband, the hot water should be ready, let's go take a bath together."
Gong Zhuoliang pinched Qiao Yingze's chin in satisfaction, then withdrew his hand and wanted to sort out the gift list, but a letter fell out from the middle. Only then did Gong Zhuoliang remember that after receiving Gong Zhuoxiang's letter yesterday, Just put it in the gift list and forgot to read it.
Thinking that he was not in a hurry, Gong Zhuoliang put the letter on the table again, got up and followed Qiao Yingze to the bathroom... Finally, his good night came.
