Court Marriage

Originally, the new daughter-in-law should have gone to their respective courtyards to greet the elders, but because Gong Zhuoliang and Qiao Yingze were there, the old lady called her son and daughter-in-law to her house, and let the grandson and daughter-in-law pay respects there.

Qiao Yingxuan's new wife, Yang Yingmo, is now 18 for Chinese New Year. She is one year younger than Qiao Yingxuan. She has a pretty and heroic appearance, and she is tall and well-proportioned. With many heads, standing beside the handsome and handsome Qiao Yingxuan, he seemed extremely right.

And Yang Yingmo not only has the dignified style of a big lady, but even the four maids behind her are all tall and refreshing. Although they are only beautiful in appearance, they are smart and capable. , Most of them became petty.

As soon as the two entered the room, everyone's faces were full of smiles, especially Mrs. Qiao, who did not hide her joy at all, as if that one was not a daughter-in-law, but a daughter-in-law, even Mr. Qiao, who always loved to show off , also touched the beard with a smile, and seemed to be very satisfied with this marriage. Compared with Qiao Yingze and Gong Zhuoliang's wedding, they were completely two-faced.

Only the old lady had a loving smile on her face, but she glanced at Qiao Yingze inadvertently. Seeing that there was nothing strange on their faces, she secretly sighed and looked at Qiao Yingxuan and his wife, smiling dignifiedly. He took the tea from his new wife, picked up the box at hand and handed it over, which was similar to the one that was given to Gong Zhuoliang.

The old lady didn't have any bad feelings towards Xuan'er's daughter-in-law, but she was worried that her grandson could not hold back her temperament when she saw her style, but she really cared about Gong Zhuoliang, the eldest daughter-in-law. It's because his arrival saved the life of Ai Sun, because of his generosity and reasonableness, and because of a lot of guilt. After all, Qiao Yingze has been diagnosed with a difficult child...

Thinking about it this way, the old lady felt more and more that she did the right thing when she secretly gave most of her private house to their young couple.

And when Mrs. Yang paid tribute to Mr. Qiao and Mrs. Qiao, Mr. Qiao was still carrying some tea cups that his father-in-law took, but Mrs. Qiao hurriedly took it over, as if his daughter-in-law would be tired after a while. Then when the red envelope was given, not only the old lady frowned, but even Qiao Yingxuan, who could not hide her joy, was embarrassed and couldn't help but glance at his brother and sister-in-law.

How much was Mrs. Qiao's gift to Gong Zhuoliang? Others may not know the truth, but Qiao Yingxuan knew it, and secretly muttered that it was a little light, but now the set of jewelry she handed to Yang's is very precious just by looking at the box. It's just to increase the status of the daughter-in-law in the house, and it's too much to do this in front of the brother and sister-in-law.

"Thank you grandma."

Yang Yingmo saw her mother-in-law posing high in front of everyone, took the box with a shy smile, and when she handed it over to the maid behind her, she glanced at the old lady from the corner of the corner, and saw that her expression was indeed wrong, and she moved her eyes slightly again. She looked at her husband and saw that he was also a little embarrassed, and her heart became clear, but although she had thought about it, her face was not at all obvious. She smiled and stood up with the help of Qiao Yingxuan. 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 house, but they were withdrawn later, and they didn't know about the existence of Qiao Minyan.

Although the Yang family's couple looked down on the character of this cousin and couple, but seeing that she was the youngest son to inherit the family, they thought that instead of marrying their daughter to a stranger's house and being wronged, it would be better to go to the cousin's aunt's house to enjoy happiness. , So he relented and agreed to the marriage, and Yang Yingmo originally disliked someone like Qiao Yingxuan who was 'not doing a proper job', but later heard that he had a good reputation and was a righteous and hearty person, and finally agreed...

Recalling how he solemnly confessed to himself last night, Yang Yingmo lowered her head and pursed her lips, then smiled and looked at Qiao Yingze and Gong Zhuoliang.

"Uncle, please use tea, sister-in-law, please use tea."

Since it was not an elder who didn't need to kneel anymore, Yang Yingmo respectfully thought of Qiao Yingze as a blessing first, then handed over the teacup, and then saluted Gong Zhuoliang with tea.

After listening to Qiao Yingxuan saying good things about her brother and sister-in-law for half an hour last night, Yang Yingmo was really curious about these two. In addition to the separation of the family and the children, she also had a faint gratitude to them. Although she felt that her husband was responsible, but if she really let herself in and became a mother, she would not be virtuous.

"Congratulations."

Gong Zhuoliang saw that this 'sister-in-law' had a closeness on her face. Although she didn't know the reason, she was very happy that she didn't seem like a troublesome person. Gong Zhuoliang didn't want to appear too big, so he stood up after drinking the tea. He got up, smiled and handed over his gift.

It was a well-crafted foreign sound box that was wound up. It is naturally a very cheap thing in modern times, but in Qiao Yingze's era, it was really a rarity. It's a plaything, but it's precious because it can't be bought with money, just like the limited edition XXX in modern times. Gong Zhuoliang's one was a gift from Gong Zhuoxiang last year. How could he, a big man, like this thing? He kept it on Curry, and it was only when Qiao Yingze mentioned it that he remembered it. He thought the little girl would like it, so he used it as a gift for his sister-in-law.

"Thank you, sister-in-law."

Seeing Gong Zhuoliang's gift, Yang Yingmo's eyes lit up, and her voice became a little closer.

Yang Yingmo, who was born in an official family, knows that this thing is rare. Although it is not a valuable plaything, it can only be bought by someone with real face. Thinking of this, Yang Yingmo can't help but feel high for this so-called businessman. Take a look.

Gong Zhuoliang really didn't mean to give Mrs. Qiao a bad look this time. After all, the value of this gift is much worse than that given by the old lady. It's just a plaything to please the little girl. If Mrs. Qiao is as stable as the old lady I gave it a gift, and I didn't take the opportunity to embarrass myself. Then Gong Zhuoliang's gift was nothing, but Mrs. Qiao took on such a high attitude of 'I am the only one', but in a blink of an eye, Gong Zhuoliang gave it to me with a small sound box. Overwhelming the limelight, it is really self-inflicted humiliation.

"When I first saw Mo'er, I thought that the tall one was good-looking, but now the two sisters-in-law are standing next to each other, only to find out that girl Yan is actually a little taller than Mo'er. I really didn't pay attention before, look at these two girls , and the appearance is also the same handsome, this old woman is really lucky."

Looking at Mrs. Qiao who was twisting the veil tightly, the old lady's loving gaze fell on Gong Zhuoliang, who seemed neither humble nor arrogant, nodded and smiled and changed the topic.

It's just that the meaning inside and outside the words is still beating everyone not to forget the rules of elders and children. Although the family is now the family of Xuan'er, it must not lose respect for the eldest grandson.

"Of course grandma is lucky..."

The inadvertent words of the old lady made both Gong Zhuoliang and Qiao Yingze feel a sudden shock. Seeing that everyone didn't care about this, the two of them secretly breathed a sigh of relief. After serving tea, he said goodbye and left Dongfu.

"Looking at it, I can't hide it..."

After leaving the East Mansion, Gong Zhuoliang and his husband were a little worried when they sat in the carriage. In terms of appearance, Gong Zhuoliang was wearing make-up like this, and the change should not be obvious after a year or two, but this height is not obvious. It's really hard to hide it. Today, the old lady just said it casually, but when everyone pays attention, it's easy to find that something is wrong. After all, even if Gong Zhuoliang is named after his sister, it will only be after the new year. Sixteen, two years younger than my sister-in-law.

"But the younger brother is getting married now, and we have to wait until the younger brother and sister are pregnant, and our plan will have less resistance."

The plan mentioned by Qiao Yingze is naturally to let Gong Zhuoyan die of illness. According to their ideas, it is best to be ill 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 Mrs. Yang died when she was giving birth, they would have to avoid even the funeral. If Mrs. Yang gave birth to a son, Qiao Yingze proposed to marry Gong Zhuoliang to 'fill the house', and the resistance would be much less. Daughter, then they can wait and see if it's a big deal, 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 separated. When both parties are busy, there is not much to do except worship ancestors, and there is Min Yan's arrest Zhou, because my younger brother and sister entered the door. I think my grandmother wouldn't pick him up to go to Dongfu Office. In our own house, we can find an excuse to say that I hurt my leg, so I don't need to stand in front of them. It hurts my muscles and bones for a hundred days. In mid-April, we just avoided Zhuangzi outside the city, but it was almost the same."

Gong Zhuoliang sat cross-legged and clenched 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 toss again from next year, but after thinking about it, he would be fifteen in two months. , finally...

"It seems that now, it can only be arranged like this first, but you have to work hard to dress up those people."

Qiao Yingze felt that Gong Zhuoliang's arrangement was very appropriate, but seeing him talking with a smile on his face, Qiao Yingze was a little puzzled by what he was thinking of happy.

"It's not hard, really, it's not hard at all."

Gong Zhuoliang squinted his eyes, leaned forward, and threw Qiao Yingze on the cushion, pretending to be sleepy and lying on top of him, but in fact his mind had turned to a very impure aspect, and he was right. This fearless Qiao Yingze is still lying flat so that Gong Zhuoliang can lie down comfortably, without the slightest sense of crisis.

It's just that they didn't expect the change to come so fast...

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX in the blink of an eye is the 16th of the first month, the first birthday of Gong Zhuoliang and Qiao Yingze's adopted son Qiao Minyan, and because Gong Zhuoliang broke his leg on the 12th, there was no big deal for this birthday. It was only half a day that my relatives and friends gathered in the West House to eat and drink.

Because the old lady came in person from the East Mansion, Mrs. Qiao and the new daughter-in-law Yang also followed, but the identity of this child was somewhat embarrassing for Mrs. Yang. She and Mrs. Qiao added to the child's arrest Zhou. After the ceremony, he said goodbye and left after he was caught, while the old lady didn't go back until the dinner was over.

Speaking of this, Gong Zhuoliang really admires Qiao Yingxuan's courage. On the night of the wedding, he told Yang Shi clearly about Qiao Minyan's life experience. Talk about it face to face to avoid embarrassment in the future, and make a formal apology guarantee that she will never take a concubine, and the little girl Yang Yingmo really has an idea. The tenderness and sweetness of others envy others.

As for Qiao Minyan's arrest of Zhou, that scene was really interesting, and I don't know if Gong Zhuoliang's usual education was too good, and the children were too close to them. He grabbed it, but in the end he didn't keep anything in his hand. He threw it back and looked up at Gong Zhuoliang and Qiao Yingze. He was so cute when he smiled, but seeing that they didn't hug him as usual, the little guy actually had both hands. Supporting the ground, he stood up by himself, then staggered and ran to the two of them, holding Qiao Yingze's calf with one hand and grabbing the hem of Gong Zhuoliang's clothes with the other, which made the guests laugh a lot, saying that this child will definitely be in the future. Very filial, nothing compares to his parents in his eyes.

Although these are just auspicious words, they are really happy to hear. Gong Zhuoliang almost hugged his son and kissed him. Fortunately, he still had some self-control. He remembered that his leg was still injured, so he asked Qiao Yingze to hold his son and put him back. In the middle of the pile.

But Qiao Minyan, when the two of them were playing with him, just when he was about to walk and couldn't sit still, 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 was finally honest, and started to play with the things on the ground. It was a matter of course that he grabbed one and threw the other, and if he couldn't throw it, he pushed it away, and then grabbed it and threw it again... Finally, when everyone couldn't laugh anymore, Tired of playing, the little ancestor leaned on his father's lap to sleep with a beautiful small machete in his arms.

Gong Zhuoliang actually knew what the congratulations from everyone who wanted to be a general were saying with a smile. How could this kid be a general? He was only looking at the colorful gems on the machete. Take it, children in this period like bright and shiny things.

After Qiao Minyan's arrest of Zhou Li, 'Gong Zhuoyan' was resting in the house due to a leg injury, but Gong Zhuoliang was able to come out and have fun. Now his first book serialization has officially ended for more than a year. The books and hardcovers were selling well. He counted the income of the bookstore and Zhuangzi during the period of the year. The more he counted, the more comfortable he felt, and he was thinking about how his birthday on February 15 was out of date. , but Qiao Yingxuan sent someone to say that tomorrow, he and his wife will come to the house to visit them...

Gong Zhuoliang looked at the calendar and thought that tomorrow, the sixth day of the second lunar month, is not a day. Besides, he didn't come to visit until the end of last month, so now he is in a hurry to come here. Could something happen?
