Views:

On the early morning of May 20th, in Gong Zhuoliang's small courtyard, the sound of crying outside the door awakened the two people who were sleeping soundly on the bed. Qiao Yingze closed his eyes and pushed Gong Zhuoliang who was leaning on him, and then moved his hands He covered his ears, turned over and continued to sleep.

It's not that Qiao Yingze doesn't want to help Gong Zhuoliang take care of the child, it's really useless for him to wake up, if Gong Jinxian's petite bag is still crying after feeding and changing diapers, basically no one can coax him except Gong Zhuoliang No... In addition, they had tossed and tossed for a long time last night, so he was very tired.

"Ye'er, bring me in."

Gong Zhuoliang rubbed against Qiao Yingze's body so hard that he didn't want to get up, but he couldn't resist the little guy, so he sat up cross-legged on the bed with a sigh, and Gong Zhuoliang, who was sleeping on the outside of the bed, put on a nightgown to cover his naked body, Then he plucked and plucked his hair, lifted up the bed gauze that was used as a mosquito net and hung it on the head of the bed.

Because of Gong Zhuoyan's last words "commitment", there is no need for Gong Zhuoliang and Qiao Yingze to shy away from dealing with each other. They visit each other every now and then, and no one will be talkative, let alone Qiao Yingxuan and Qiao Yingze today. When Lu Zijian returned to Bocheng, Qiao Yingze had even more reason to stay here, because Gong Zhuoliang planned to keep them all in his home.

"Daddy! Little Daddy!"

As soon as the door opened, Qiao Minyan's childish cry came in first, and he was dressed in a silver-patterned bright red jacket and trousers, which made the little guy look juicy and juicy, and his small appearance was so pleasing.

Qiao Minyan struggled in Ruolan's arms, and stretched out his little hands to the two people on the bed. His pink face was smiling so hard that his teeth could not see his eyes. He was lying on Qiao Yingze's arm lying on his side, looking at Qiao Yingze with his head tilted... When his little father was away, he was the one who slept with him, so the child had already developed a habit of relying on his father body.

"The little guy is a human again."

Qiao Yingze couldn't lie down anymore because his son lay on him. He took the nightgown handed over by Gong Zhuoliang and put it on, then wrapped the quilt around his waist to cover it. Qiao Yingze sat with his arms around Qiao Minyan. He walked behind Gong Zhuoliang and pinched his little face.

"Master, the young master has already been fed, but we all cry when we hug him."

Ye'er, who came in with Ruo Lan, hugged Gong Jinxian in her arms to Gong Zhuoliang, then exchanged a glance with Ruo Lan, and left with a sigh of relief. These two little ancestors really gave them a headache. .

"Little villain, I really owe you."

Gong Zhuoliang hugged Gong Jinxian and sat in the direction of Qiao Yingze, then skillfully shook him to coax him, not knowing if he really felt that his heartbeat felt safe, the little guy who put his little face on Gong Zhuoliang's chest was very He stopped crying soon, looked at Gong Zhuoliang with round eyes, and became quiet with his small mouth pursed.

"His eyes and mouth look exactly like yours."

Letting Qiao Minyan sit in his arms, Qiao Yingze touched Gong Jinxian's outstretched little hand with his index finger, and as expected, the little guy reflexively grabbed him, he squeezed it weakly, and then let go of his hand and shrank back. Going back, he clenched into a small fist and sent it to his mouth.

Because the weather is getting hotter, Gong Jinxian is only wrapped in a thin light yellow blanket, and the little clothes on his upper body are pink. Coupled with his delicate and pretty face, it is really No matter how you look at it, it is rare.

"Aren't you handsome? Can you sit still? Why don't you sleep for a while, and I'll take the two of them to play on the couch outside."

Gong Zhuoliang raised his eyebrows narcissistically, seeing Qiao Yingze sitting in another posture, knowing that he was still tired, so he leaned over and pecked at the red mark on his neck, which was left by him just last night .

"It's better to get up. I don't know when the second brother will arrive. It's the same when I lean on the couch later."

Qiao Yingze looked down at the person who was starting to kiss restlessly, and hugged Qiao Minyan in his arms to hug him.

"Okay then, Xiao Minyan, this is my younger brother, called my younger brother."

Clinging to Qiao Minyan's face, Gong Zhuoliang walked around him and gave Qiao Yingze another peck. Then he sat upright and continued coaxing Gong Jinxian. Then seeing Qiao Minyan tilting his head looking at the little guy, Gong Zhuoliang sent Gong Jinxian to him. He leaned forward so that the two little guys could stand next to each other.

"Yes, Min Yan, call me brother."

Seeing this, Qiao Yingze also coaxed Qiao Minyan to speak. The little guy has already learned several simple words and is willing to imitate them, but he has overlooked another thing, that is, Qiao Minyan, who is teething, likes to bite each other. Planting something to grind his teeth, so after the little guy sweetly learned to call him little brother, he bit Gong Jinxian's little hand that touched his face...

After a moment of silence, the angry crying sounded again, and Qiao Minyan, who was startled by Gong Jinxian's crying, also flattened his mouth, twisted his small face into Qiao Yingze's arms, and twitched. As a result, the couple had no choice but to hug and coax each other again, and Dad's day began again...

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX Because Gong Jinxian was still too young to take out to pick up people, Gong Zhuoliang and Qiao Yingze did not wait outside the city in person, but sent their servants to wait, and when the sun turned to the west, the servants reported back The two went to pay a visit to the elders of Lu's family first, and they will come over later.

"Senior Brother Lu is not easy."

Speaking of Lu Zijian's family affairs, Gong Zhuoliang still sighed a little, how could such a handsome and chivalrous person have such short-sighted and ignorant parents.

Earlier, regardless of Lu Zijian's wishes, his parents begged Shangguan's daughter to be his wife, but they met an unscrupulous woman. His parents were afraid of offending Shangguan and would not allow him to divorce his wife, forcing Lu Zijian to return home.

However, after Lu Zijian was ranked No. 2 in the martial arts ranking in high school and was selected by the prince to enter the East Palace Guard, his parents became arrogant all of a sudden. They didn't even consider their son's reputation at all. Abandoned and kicked out of the house, but was accused by others as a philandering man who abandoned dross and raised his wife for the sake of wealth. In addition, Lu Zijian always picks on and likes to molest beautiful men, and his crime is even more confirmed. The impact is not generally bad. In the end, It was Gong Zhuoliang who used 'rumors' to 'rumors' to publicize the evil deeds of the sly woman, and the sly woman's family was concerned about Lu Zijian's current prestige, so the matter calmed down. For this reason, Lu Zijian did not Thank you for writing less.

"Every family has scriptures that are hard to recite..."

As for the affairs of the Lu family, it was inconvenient for Qiao Yingze to say anything as a junior. Fortunately, Lu Zijian worked hard on his own, and finally he could decide the way forward.

The two waited for a while before Lu Zijian and Qiao Yingxuan came. Since both of them were in mourning, they couldn't host a banquet for them with great fanfare, so they just set up a table of wine in Gong Zhuoliang's yard, and the four of them sat around It's quite comfortable to talk about wine.

"Although there is not so much hypocrisy among friends, I still want to formally respect my good brother with this glass of wine. If you hadn't stood up for my brother, I'm afraid that after this incident becomes serious, my brother and I will have no face to gain a foothold in this officialdom." .”

Although it was a proud time in life, Lu Zijian wore plain clothes and rough clothes all the way back this time to show his respect for Qiao Yingze's deceased wife and also Gong Zhuoliang's deceased sister.

Although because of the difference between men and women, Lu Zijian has not met that woman for a few times, but he is very familiar with her deeds. After all, Qiao Yingxuan does not admire his sister-in-law very much, so Lu Zijian also admires and respects her very much. of.

"Brother Lu, you are being polite, and my younger brother should also respect Brother Lu. Congratulations to Jinbang High School."

Gong Zhuoliang generously drank a glass with Lu Zijian, then filled the wine glasses for the two of them, and gave Lu Zijian a glass in return, and then Lu Zijian and Qiao Yingze also toasted each other. Qiao Yingxuan, who was facing Gong Zhuoliang, seemed a little silent, with complex eyes sweeping across Gong Zhuoliang's handsome face from time to time.

Over there, Gong Zhuoliang was listening with great interest to Lu Zijian's talk about the wonderful situation during the martial arts exam, but here Qiao Yingze noticed his brother's abnormal silence, seeing his eyes fixed on Gong Zhuoliang from time to time, Qiao Yingze pursed his lips , used his own chopsticks to pick up the food for Gong Zhuoliang, and saw that he ate it naturally, then slightly hooked the corners of his mouth, and turned his gaze to Qiao Yingxuan's face.

"Second brother, what's the situation with grandma?"

Unsurprisingly, Qiao Yingze saw the dimmed eyes of the other party. Although Qiao Yingze couldn't bear to see his depressed look with his head drooping, he didn't want him to have any illusions about Gong Zhuoliang anymore. In the past, he was limited by his status and couldn't say anything. , but from now on, Qiao Yingze was able to show his ownership of his daughter-in-law openly and aboveboard.

"Oh... Although Xingcheng is a bit smaller, the environment is good. Grandma and the others live comfortably, and my father didn't suffer too much. He has sent someone to take care of it, brother, don't worry."

Returning to his senses because of his brother's question, Qiao Yingxuan pursed his lips and annoyed himself that he couldn't let go. He had clearly figured out the matter long ago, why did he still feel nervous when he heard that his sister-in-law promised her good brother to his brother? This is not the taste.

"Can Zi'er get used to being in the capital? My brother and sister are too tired to work. When you come back this time, will the people around Zi'er be safe?"

Qiao Yingze knew that the younger brother and his wife had already moved out of the Yang family. Although it didn't matter that his father-in-law's family looked good, the siblings were pregnant after all, and Qiao Yingze was still young, so he might not be able to take good care of them.

"I wanted to ask a teacher to teach him about Zi'er first, but Brother Gong said that he could be sent to the family study of the Gong family. The aunt of the Gong family also likes Zi'er very much, and Mo'er is not in good health, so this time I Before returning, I entrusted Zi'er to Brother Gong to take care of her."

Thinking of Qiao Yingzi who was very clingy to him, Qiao Yingxuan showed a smile on his face, but when he thought that his daughter-in-law was found to be pregnant with twins, Qiao Yingxuan couldn't help but worry about her body.

Although due to the matter of the Qiao family and the Yang family, the couple's relationship was not deep enough and they were estranged a lot, but after all, she was the wife he was marrying, and Qiao Yingxuan still attached great importance to her, but for those in the father-in-law's family...

"I heard that the ethnology of the Gong family is taught by an old Jinshi who has become an official in the family. I think it must be good to learn, and it will be very beneficial to Zi'er in the future."

Seeing that his younger brother looked uncomfortable, Qiao Yingze realized after a little thought that it was probably related to his father-in-law's family. I remembered that the Yang family also had family studies, but Qiao Yingxuan sent his younger brother to a relative's house to go to school. Thinking about it, the Yang family had neglected Qiao Yingzi. Otherwise, with Qiao Yingxuan's character, he wouldn't embarrass them like this.

"Hey, after talking for a long time, where are my little nephews? Why don't you take them out and let the uncles see them?"

Lu Zijian over there saw that the atmosphere of their brothers was a bit heavy, and with a flick of his eyes, he deliberately smiled and raised his eyes to see the children, attracting everyone's attention.

"You all fell asleep when you came here, and it's about time to wake up now."

Qiao Yingze didn't want to continue the topic that would make Qiao Yingxuan unhappy, so he told the maids standing by the door to check if the young masters were awake, and asked Ruolan and the others to hug them.

"Young brother, you can do it. You are so old. My son is already a hundred days old. I thought you were funny, but I didn't expect you to be so capable. Brother admires you."

After Lu Zijian had been serious for a while, he showed his true nature again, squinting his eyes and aiming maliciously between Gong Zhuoliang's legs, as if he wanted to see if he was really shy. It's not ugly to put on a handsome face like this, but it really deserves a beating.

In fact, Lu Zijian has long seen that there is something interesting between Gong Zhuoliang and Qiao Yingze, but he has never meddled in other matters. Anyway, no matter male or female, who doesn't have a few close and liking people? It's just to see if your heart is right or not It's all about self-discipline or not, so the question he's really interested in now is, since these two people are together, who will go up and who will go down

Anyway, no matter how you look at it, these two people don't look like females, let's not talk about Qiao Yingze, such a noble and elegant person, and Gong Zhuoliang, like his cousin, is the master of the outer circle and the inner square. Right now.

"Brother cheap, my cousin sent a letter specifically to remind my younger brother. For the sake of brother cheap, you are not allowed to meet those brothers and sisters in private when you return to Bocheng this time. After all, cousin is recommending you in front of His Highness the Crown Prince. People, don't want to be 'divided into groups'."

Gong Zhuoliang didn't care, let Lu Zijian look at him randomly, and smiled at him with one corner of his mouth. When he first received Gong Zhuoxiang's letter, he and Qiao Yingze were also very confused. It was far-fetched, Gong Zhuoliang felt that there was a 'love' between the two of them at the time, but now seeing Lu Zijian's choked and angry expression, he knew that this person probably suffered a loss from Gong Zhuoxiang's hands.

Could it be that Lu Zijian had the guts to provoke Gong Zhuoxiang? Gong Zhuoliang was unscrupulously curious in his heart, feeling that he couldn't do it. When Lu Zijian met Gong Zhuoxiang when he first met, he slipped away faster than anything else. To be honest, what happened now

"Ahem... I'm going to see who has a relationship with him."

With the act of drinking, Lu Zijian muttered in a voice that only he could hear, and he hated it. What kind of medicine did Zhuoxiang of the Xindao Palace take? After coming to Bocheng, I still have trouble looking for you. I don’t want to bear you anymore. When I get back, I’ll have a good fight. The number one scholar with both civil and military skills is amazing.

After a while, Qiao Minyan, who had already woken up, and Gong Jinxian, who was still asleep, were hugged and fell into the arms of Qiao Yingze and Gong Zhuoliang respectively. Lu Zijian and Qiao Yingxuan hurriedly gathered around to watch, teasing this groping That is extremely rare.

"I can really see that it's your own son. He looks so small. I don't know how many guys will fight for him in the future, haha..."

Lu Zijian touched Gong Jinxian's little hand, and looked at Gong Zhuoliang's smile so maliciously that he bullied Gong Zhuoliang but didn't hit him, so he purposely used words to anger him, but Gong Zhuoliang kicked him unceremoniously. He wasn't annoyed either, he just covered his legs and laughed.

"It's really similar, open your eyes, open your eyes!"

Qiao Yingxuan kissed Qiao Minyan first, then turned his head to look at Gong Jinxian, and then compared him with Gong Zhuoliang. The more he looked at it, the more he felt that this child was attractive, as if he was woken up by Lu Zijian's laughter. The guy moved his eyelids and slowly opened his eyes.

"It's really rare. I didn't cry when I woke up. It seems that I hit it off with you. How about the two who have become uncles, how about my son's meeting gift?"

Gong Zhuoliang was ready to coax the child, but the little guy was so embarrassing that he didn't howl, and turned his eyes to look at Lu Zijian who was laughing, and he looked so cute.

"Naturally, the younger nephew's will not be missing. There is also the elder nephew's. My brother specially asked the abbot of the Xiang'an Temple in Beijing to consecrate it."

Lu Zijian was very kind, and he obediently offered a pair of exquisite gold locks inlaid with unicorn and auspicious animal patterns. You could tell they were good things at first glance. Gong Zhuoliang accepted them politely and asked Lu Zijian to wear them on the locks for the two children himself. on the neck.

"I know that my nephews don't lack these precious things, so I bought some toys for them from northern children. Don't dislike them. When my younger brother receives his salary, I will give my nephews decent gifts."

Qiao Yingxuan touched his neck and smiled embarrassedly. Although his wife asked him to buy some good things before leaving Beijing, and even took some precious jade ornaments from the dowry for him to give as presents, Qiao Yingxuan felt that he was being supported by his brother now , I really shouldn't spend money on things that look good, let alone use my daughter-in-law's private house as a gift, so I personally selected a lot of children's toys and brought them back.

It didn't cost much, but it was all from his sincerity. Qiao Yingxuan believed that his elder brother and younger brother Liang were not so snobbish and would understand.

"Brother is happier than receiving any gift if you are so polite."

Qiao Yingze patted his younger brother's shoulder, his eyes were full of smiles, he was able to see his current situation clearly, and he didn't want to be flashy to save face, Qiao Yingxuan like this reassured him.

The four of them chatted until late at night and the banquet was over. Gong Zhuoliang saw that Qiao Yingze looked tired, so he asked him to go back to his room to rest, then he got up and sent Lu Zijian and Qiao Yingxuan to the guest courtyard. After sending them to the guest room, Gong Zhuoliang When he said goodnight to Qiao Yingxuan and was about to leave, Qiao Yingxuan called him hesitantly.
