"Li'er is good, Daddy is fine, grandma, if you are angry, just hit your grandson, don't make yourself angry, Shao... that person is not what you think, he is really easy to get along with."
Qiao Yingxuan hugged the youngest son and patted his head comfortingly, and stared at the old lady with a worried face, really afraid that the old man would get angry and stop him.
"It's fine if you don't want to be married to the Yang family anymore. It's serious to take care of your daughter-in-law now. As for the rest... we'll talk about it later."
Familiar with the stubbornness of her second grandson, the old lady knew that he would not listen to what she said now, and she was afraid that Qiao Yingxuan would really say something irreversible, so she waved her hand with a headache to signal him not to say any more, while she leaned over Leaning on the cushion, he slowly calmed down the anger in his heart.
"yes… "
Seeing that the old lady didn't want to listen anymore, Qiao Yingxuan didn't dare to add fuel to the flames, so she had to obediently obediently obediently, and then filially kicked the old lady's legs.
"Old ancestor, don't be angry."
Qiao Minli also stopped crying in his father's arms, then sat down in the old lady's arms, and then stroked her chest in a decent manner, causing the old lady to cry out her heart and embrace him again. into his arms.
While their grandparents and grandchildren were talking in the room, Qiao Minyan led his younger siblings and uncle to the side hall to talk. Due to the difference in generation, ten-year-old Qiao Yingran sat at the main seat in the small hall. On the top, Qiao Minyan, Gong Jinxian, and Zhang Lu are on his left, and Qiao Yiyue, Qiao Minren, and Qiao Minyi are on his right.
The children who would be very lively when they get together, are not in a good mood because of Yang Yingmo's illness, especially Qiao Yiyue and Qiao Minren, who are already sensible, are sitting listlessly with red eyes. On the chair, even Qiao Minyi, who is usually lively and active, is sitting there obediently playing with his fingers at this time. Although he is only six years old, he still doesn't quite understand what birth, old age, illness and death are, but he knows that his mother is not feeling well now. , the ancestors, father and brothers and sisters are not happy, so I should behave myself.
Qiao Yingran was originally a dull and honest character, he felt that he was ordinary in all aspects and there was nothing outstanding about it, and because of his seniority, he couldn't play with his nephews and nieces casually, so he usually stayed in front of his third brother Qiao Yingzi It was like having a child. After sitting with Qiao Minyan and the others for a while, they felt that each other was quite depressed, so they ran to find his third brother who was studying.
Qiao Yingzi is currently selected as a scholar, but he failed the exam in August in Qiu Wei, which made the 16-year-old son a little bit hit. After all, he is aiming for his brother who is the number one scholar, so this I have been studying harder and harder for a while, and I often forget the time when I start studying. I have to ask my brother to remind me to remember what Xixi is today.
"Yiyue, Min Ren, this is a congratulatory gift from elder brother, of course I will not forget Xiaoyi, this is for you."
After Qiao Yingran left, Qiao Minyan looked at the younger brothers and sisters present, took out two exquisite purses containing small ingots from his arms, got up and walked to the opposite side, and gave them to Qiao Yiyue and Qiao Minren in turn, and then Then he took the little puppet that could be worn on the hand from the maid, and after stroking Qiao Minyi's head, let him play with it by himself.
Qiao Minyan, who is ten years old this year, because he is fast and likes to learn martial arts, now he has left his childhood appearance and has become a heroic and sunny little handsome guy. He originally wanted to be a little daddy as written in the book That kind of 'Yuppie' hero, but because of his helpless temperament, he really can't be a ruffian, so he can only follow the teachings of his two fathers to follow the Confucian and Xia route with both civil and military skills, so don't look at him now that he is still young. This group is really stylish.
"Thank you brother."
Nine-year-old Qiao Yiyue was born delicate and pretty. These days, because she was worried that her mother would not be able to eat and sleep well, her small face was thin and pointed, mixed with the stubborn heroism between her eyebrows and eyes, she looked very distressing.
In the past few years, because Yang Yingmo's health has not been very good, Qiao Yiyue has learned a lot from her great-grandmother at a young age. She has a stubborn temper, coupled with her natural instinct to protect her younger brother, she is used to learning. The old lady's straightforward and decisive way of dealing with things makes her less able to act weak and coquettish, but she looks more like a boy than the shy and introverted Qiao Minren.
"Thank you brother."
Qiao Minren also stood up and took the purse with both hands, and smiled shyly with his lips pursed. If the same appearance is said to be beautiful and heroic on a girl, then it must be said to be on a boy like him. He is handsome, although he is not as delicate and picturesque as Qiao Minyan, but with his gentle and shy temperament, in this era of masculinity, it can be seen that he will definitely be a very attractive attribute in the future.
"I sent this to you, stupid girl. My brother and I mean that we will all go to the temple to pray for my second aunt tomorrow, and take a stroll in the city by the way. Do you want to go?"
Taking advantage of Qiao Minyan's time teasing Qiao Minyi to play with puppets, Gong Jinxian and Zhang Lu walked up to Qiao Yiyue's siblings. After taking out the purse and sending it over, Gong Jinxian pulled Qiao Yiyue's sleeve and said softly I asked her a question.
Unlike Qiao Minyan's obvious growth, the nine-year-old Gong Jinxian is still the same as when he was a child, beautiful like a little girl, and he is quite entangled in his heart because of this, but under the comfort of his little daddy using himself as an example, there is still As evidenced by the previous portraits of his little daddy painted by his daddy, he could only try his best to believe that he would grow up to be as tall and handsome as his little daddy in the future.
"Usually you only take Ren'er with you and don't take me with you. What's the matter today? If you have any conditions, tell me first."
I was too lazy to quarrel with Gong Jinxian about the address, Qiao Yiyue's eyes lit up when she heard the words, but then she looked at Gong Jinxian like a wolf, just like Gong Jinxian couldn't understand Qiao Yiyue's eldest lady Just like pie, Qiao Yiyue also can't understand his boy's clinging to his elder brother and uncle all day long, acting coquettishly and flattering, so the two of them have really disliked each other for a long time, and now Gong Jinxian suddenly Qiao Yiyue naturally had to be wary of taking the initiative to show her kindness.
"Is there anything worth remembering about you? It's not because of your birthday, but also to pray for the second aunt, so are you going or not?"
Being looked at by Qiao Yiyue so provocatively, Gong Jinxian also raised his chin and looked back at her. Usually, he and his elder brother took his younger brother and Xiaolu out to play, and she always wanted to follow as a girl. The old ancestors and the others knew, but what happened? This time, he told his little daddy in the name of praying for the second aunt, and then he got permission. He kindly brought her to play because he saw how pitiful she was recently. I can't tell the difference. A stupid girl who depends on others.
"Big sister, it's fun to follow the second brother."
Zhang Lu looked at Qiao Yiyue and then at Gong Jinxian. The baby's face showed a signature dimple. Like Qiao Minyan, he listened to Gong Jinxian the most, and immediately helped his second brother abduct him. people.
"Go, of course!"
Qiao Yiyue just had a habit of arguing with Gong Jinxian just now, so she responded in a hurry, not to mention that she usually has no chance to go out, even if she goes to her grandmother's house or visits relatives, she still sits In the well-blocked carriage, only lively voices could be heard, and shadows could be seen through the slits of the curtains. This time I went out with my brothers, but I could see the real thing.
"I also need to go!"
Qiao Minyi, who was playing with a puppet, also jumped off the chair and hugged Gong Jinxian's waist, twisting and twisting coquettishly. Usually, the older brothers always thought he was too young and didn't take him with him. Now even the older sister I brought them all, why not bring him!
"Xiao Yi, good boy, didn't we agree that when you grow up to be as tall as brother Lu, the brothers will take you out to play."
Seeing that Gong Jinxian was almost unable to stand still by his fleshy little body, Qiao Minyan hurriedly put his arms around Gong Jinxian to support Qiao Minyi, and then pointed to Zhang Lu to coax him.
"Okay, Daddy said that men mean what they say... But how long will it take for me to grow up to Brother Lu's height?"
Qiao Minyi sighed with a sullen face when he heard the words, and then looked at Zhang Lu and became entangled. The nanny clearly said that I grew up very fast, so why am I so much worse than Brother Lu
However, Qiao Minyi ignored it. When he was growing up, his brother Lu was also growing up. Regarding this point, his brothers and sisters were very tacit and no one reminded him...
"Then remember to change into the same dress as your brother tomorrow, and we will pick you up early in the morning."
Seeing that Qiao Minyan and Zhang Lu had fooled Qiao Minyi, Gong Jinxian also made an arrangement with Qiao Yiyue, and while they were talking, someone came to report to the old man that they were back, so the children hurried to go The old lady is in the house.
The family simply celebrated the birthdays of the two little birthday stars. When Qiao Yingze and Gong Zhuoliang led Qiao Minyan back home, they saw the two of them hugging each other face to face along the way. Gong Zhuoliang has always insisted on the quality education of the two children. Simply put, it is the general direction to grasp the stocking guidelines and let them grow up freely, so the couple didn't care much.
That night, the family of four stayed in the study room as usual, dealing with official business, studying and studying, and after the two children finished writing the "diary" arranged by Gong Zhuoliang and went to bed, the palace where Qiao Yingze finished sorting out official business. Zhuo Liang relaxed in the chair, picked up the children's diary and read it, and then choked on his own saliva gorgeously...
"Zhuo Liang, what's wrong with you?"
Seeing this, Qiao Yingze behind the desk hurriedly got up and walked to him, knelt down and patted his back, then took a look at the diary in his hand, and he couldn't help being silent even though he was always calm.
"Yan'er wants to be the kind of hero you chase after books, I can understand that, but why would Xian'er want to be a Taoist priest?"
Qiao Yingze is really speechless. Although the eldest son Min Yan likes martial arts, he is also very serious and hardworking in his studies. Generally speaking, he is a child who makes the couple very worry-free, while the second son Jinxian is very smart. He is quick-witted, and is a good material for reading by nature, but he is too out-of-the-box, which can make the couple angry and funny every time, but they can't bear to restrain him too much.
"Because Taoist priests don't need to get married, and they say it's not good to shave their heads if they dislike monks, hahahaha... this child is so cute!"
After coughing, Harem Zhuo Liang was so laughing that he wanted to slap the table, he put his arms around Qiao Yingze's waist and let him lie in his arms, thinking that this child is too good at thinking, let the boy ask for gossip and know that his second uncle was "forced to marry" , So I started to plan ahead, and directly said in the diary that I would become a Taoist priest and not get married, but it was just for the couple to read.
"It's all your fault..."
With his back against Gong Zhuoliang's chest, he swayed on the recliner with him, Qiao Yingze looked at the diary in his hand, couldn't help but sighed and gave Gong Zhuoliang a sideways look, I really don't know where this man got so much flamboyance, Look at the one who taught the children, at such a young age, they knew how to pretend to be innocent in front of people, but when they got in front of the couple, they showed their true colors. They were extremely willful. No, at such a young age, they knew how to threaten them with their house .
"I'm the only one who manipulated it?"
Asking Qiao Yingze to turn over on his body, Gong Zhuoliang stroked his smooth and delicate chin with his fingers, and leaned over to cover his smiling lips. At the same time, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this is twenty-nine years old and almost thirty I'm so old, why is my skin still so tender, I don't even have any fine lines, I'm so blessed.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX In the winter of the eighth year of Qianwu, Yang Yingmo, whose condition fluctuated from time to time, was unable to survive this year, and died of illness one month before the new year. Time flew by, and it was the end of the ninth year of Qianwu...
Except for Qiao Yingxuan who was in plain mourning clothes, he stood in front of the side door of Prince Zhong's mansion, and just knocked, the door was opened again silently, revealing a familiar resentful face.
"Your grandfather, I'm finally here. That's enough. I know what you're going to say. Let's lead the way."
Knowing that the little eunuch must have been ordered to wait for him here early in the morning, Qiao Yingxuan stopped him with a smile, then raised his legs and walked into the door.
Half a month ago, Si Shao told him to come to the Prince's Mansion today. During this time, he was reminded several times, which made Qiao Yingxuan wonder what kind of special day it was today, but he couldn't find any result after thinking about it. There are eleven days for Chinese New Year, which is just an ordinary day.
"Congratulations, grandpa."
Because of Qiao Yingxuan's easy-going and open-mindedness, the little eunuch dared to joke with him on weekdays, but now he squinted his eyes and laughed non-stop when he saw Qiao Yingxuan. After sending Qiao Yingxuan outside Si Shao's bedroom, he stayed behind. After saying a sentence of congratulations that made Qiao Yingxuan inexplicable, he bowed and stepped aside without saying a word.
"Mysterious..."
Smiling at the little eunuch, Qiao Yingxuan was also secretly looking forward to it because of their mystery, but Rao had already made preparations for surprises in his heart. After pushing open the door, Qiao Yingxuan saw the festive bright red... Still stunned, he was awakened by the sound of the door being gently closed when the little eunuch gently pushed him into the room, and then saw Si Shao in a happy attire turning out from behind the screen, Qiao Yingxuan instantly felt that There is no one else to see but himself.
"Cough...how is it?"
Clearing his throat with a light cough, Si Shao tugged on the sleeves of his happy clothes, walked up to Qiao Yingxuan, and asked a question in a low voice while suppressing a smile.
"… nice."
Compared to Si Shao's restrained smile, Qiao Yingxuan was not stingy with his smile and compliments, his eyes were almost glued to his face and he couldn't move away.
"I chose today as an auspicious day, that's all right, come and change clothes with me, my concubine will be here in a while."
Finally Qiao Yingxuan couldn't stand it anymore, Si Shao took his hand and walked inside, where Qiao Yingxuan's wedding dress had already been prepared.
"Toffee, she..."
Qiao Yingxuan was really surprised, he thought it was just a 'private decision' between Si Shao and him, but he didn't expect it to be approved by the elders, and the concubine would agree to him doing this!
"My concubine saw that she couldn't persuade me, so she had no choice but to agree."
Bringing Qiao Yingxuan into the back room, Si Shao personally changed him into the same wedding dress as his own, and then waved the red hijab in front of him with a smile.
"I wear it?"
Seeing the red handkerchief, Qiao Yingxuan subconsciously stepped back and raised his hand to cover his hat, and asked a little silly.
"Is there any doubt about this?"
Si Shao approached step by step with a red handkerchief, the smile on his face was full of malicious intentions, but now Qiao Yingxuan was no longer as afraid of his coercion as before, so Si Shao really couldn't catch him for a while. Qiao Yingxuan was scurrying around.
"Shao, let's avoid this."
"No, you stop for me!"
"Don't stop!"
"stop!"
