MTL - Court Marriage-Chapter 50 Cousin strikes
"Xiang Gong, what did that **** just say to you, making you so unhappy?"
His hands rested on the side wall and the back wall of the sedan chair, Gong Zhuoliang turned to face Qiao Yingze, restraining him in a small area, and as the sedan chair swayed gently, Gong Zhuoliang spoke with his lips several times. They almost touched Qiao Yingze's lips.
If it wasn't for the balance of the sedan chair, Gong Zhuoliang would have been pressed all over him.
"Lu Wuju? Some frivolous words, ignore them."
Because Gong Zhuoliang was close, he had to lean back against the wall of the sedan chair. Qiao Yingze's eyes turned on Gong Zhuoliang's face, and a smile appeared in his eyes... Little daughter-in-law, are you jealous?
"That person did look a little unrighteous, so it's better to have less contact in the future."
In fact, although Lu Zijian's behavior is a little frivolous, he still guards the ceremony and doesn't really do anything too much. From another point of view, this type of yuppie tastes, but the previous Gong Zhuoliang is more able to play together. go.
But now that the other party is putting his mind on his wife, Gong Zhuoliang must not let it go, and he must be completely isolated from Qiao Yingze's life circle.
"That's not true. Ying Xuan is the most disgusting person, but he can be so friendly with this Lu Wuju. I think that person's nature is not bad. He is from Wuju and Ying Xuan's senior brother. You have to ask him to take care of Ying Xuan, how can you not communicate?"
Qiao Yingze spoke seriously, and he was quite protective of Lu Zijian during the conversation, as if he could not see Gong Zhuoliang's jealousy at all.
However, the smile hidden in Qiao Yingze's eyes became stronger and stronger.
"Ah? Maybe the second uncle doesn't know who he is..."
Accustomed to Qiao Yingze's "obedient", he was suddenly refuted by him in this way. Gong Zhuoliang really couldn't find an excuse to object. He could only stare at him with wide eyes, and said a reason casually.
"Then, as a brother, I should understand the good things for him, and I can't let him be damaged."
Qiao Yingze looked at Gong Zhuoliang more and more innocently, and suddenly understood why he always liked to look at himself embarrassed, just like now, looking at his dull appearance, he also finds it very interesting and cute.
"No... oh, you hummed on purpose!"
Noticing the unbearable smile on Qiao Yingze's face, Gong Zhuoliang reacted that he was being tricked, and now he narrowed his eyes and pressed closer to Qiao Yingze, and the hand supporting the side wall of the sedan chair changed to pinch his chin.
"Ah…"
Qiao Yingze smiled lightly, but he first leaned in to hold Gong Zhuoliang's lips, and stuck out the tip of his tongue to lick it between his teeth, but the next moment, Gong Zhuoliang turned back the guest and pressed him on the wall of the sedan car for a deep kiss.
"Zhuo... don't... still on the way..."
Feeling that Gong Zhuoliang's actions were getting more and more presumptuous, Qiao Yingze couldn't help blushing and grabbed the hand he was about to stretch into his clothes, and whispered in his ear to stop it.
Right now they are sitting in the sedan chair, and if they move more, they will be found to be abnormal.
"I don't want to kiss my face, Xianggong, please don't cry out, just don't move around."
Gong Zhuoliang licked Qiao Yingze's already kissed rosy lips, followed his chin all the way to his Adam's apple, and finally reached into the open collar, leaving a hickey on his neck and collarbone, which was grabbed by Qiao Yingze. The hand he was holding also stroked his chest again, kneading a fruit through the clothes.
"Zhuo... um... don't make trouble... go back... at night..."
Being teased by Gong Zhuoliang, his whole body was tense. Qiao Yingze didn't dare to move or make a sound, and he didn't have the thick skin of Gong Zhuoliang to flirt outside. Unbalanced, and in the end, I couldn't stand it anymore, so I could only whisper to Rao.
"At night? That Xianggong, do you follow me no matter what?"
Gong Zhuoliang's eyes lit up when he heard the words, he finally stopped doing evil, and looked at Qiao Yingze, who was relieved, with a smirk.
It has been more than half a month since the last time they did it. During this period, Qiao Yingze has been using his youth as an excuse to avoid being too intimate, and Gong Zhuoliang also wanted to take care of himself, so he followed him, but today he didn't want to bear it anymore. , and doing it once in half a month won't hurt anything.
"Well...then don't recruit me now."
Taking advantage of Gong Zhuoliang's pause, Qiao Yingze looked down at him with a look of anticipation, and couldn't help showing a condoning smile on his face.
Qiao Yingze had long figured out that since they are husband and wife, there is nothing they can't let go of when it comes to their private affairs. It's enough that both of them like it.
"it is good!"
Gong Zhuo smiled and finally let go of Qiao Yingze and sat up straight, while tidying up his messed up clothes for him, thinking about how to take them off one by one at night.
The sedan chair wandered for half an hour, and when they returned to their West Mansion, the two of them couldn't see anything unusual except that their lips were a little redder than usual.
Because Qiao Yingze was not involved in business-related matters, Shi Kang, who was handed over to Gong Zhuoliang, and the steward Zhou he recommended, so in the next few days, Gong Zhuoliang officially took the field as his own. inspection.
Because he heard that this steward Zhou was interested in Ruo Lan, Gong Zhuoliang took this opportunity to observe him carefully, and found that this young man with a white face was really a business talent, and what was even more rare was that he was smart and not good. Disrespectful, but also quite self-righteous.
This week, the steward originally ran a bookstore, and his family was well-off. Originally, he helped to run the bookstore in order to repay Shi Kang's life-saving grace. Later, he was really interested, and he simply merged his own bookstore. Half of the dividends, coupled with the 'high salary' of his general manager, made life better.
It's a pity that he was ordered to force his wife because of the death of his parents. The daughter of a good family dare not marry him, and he himself wants to marry a virtuous person and refuses to give in, so that he has not yet gotten married at the age of 20, but his life is hard and so on. Gong Zhuoliang doesn't believe it, so this big shortcoming in the eyes of the world is directly overtaken by him. In short, Gong Zhuoliang thinks that this person is not bad for his own girl Ruolan, but he seems to see Ruolan over there. Having some scruples, he didn't rush to match, but just helped to watch over this gifted stock first, and then waited for Ruo Lan to make up his mind.
The time has come to the beginning of May, and there is no need to act in Gong Zhuoyan's name anymore. Gong Zhuoliang can finally let go of his hands and feet, carry out the development steps that he has planned for a long time, and personally supervise the bookstore's series of anniversary activities. .
With the money invested by Qiao Yingze, Gong Zhuoliang renovated the bookstore more elegantly, and officially opened a reading room where you can read for free with only a tea fee. The storefront of the small second floor.
There is also a membership discount system, such as how much you can get discounts if you buy enough silver. In addition, magazines are also voted by readers to select a list - his own "Legend of Jianghu" is the top of the list, and it is like the New Year's Eve. It is customary at the time to issue singles and collections, etc. on the basis of merit.
For this reason, Gong Zhuoliang has been really busy for a while, and it has also won him the sincere admiration of the Xifu and the bookstore. He no longer thinks that this young uncle's achievements are due to his sister and brother-in-law. It is easier to spread among the crowd, so most of these servants have become Gong Zhuoliang's 'fans', and their respect for him is no less than that of Qiao Yingze, a serious master.
Gong Zhuoliang is very satisfied with this, so his energy is also more and more full. Every day he can get up without Qiao Yingze's call. At night, Qiao Yingze is often asleep before he finishes getting into bed, but the more busy he is, the more Gong Zhuoliang is. On the contrary, his spirits have become stronger, and even his temperament has become more calm... Or should I say, he is more and more able to regain the feeling of being an adult.
"Young master, the bookstore has finally been free, so you can rest for two days. You see that you have lost weight again."
Ruo Lan went into the bedroom with a cup of sweet soup. Seeing Gong Zhuoliang piled up another table of ledger books, she went over and pinched his shoulders for him.
"I'm getting taller. I can't keep up with the length of the flesh, so I feel thin."
Gong Zhuoliang put down the account book and stretched, then closed his sore eyes and leaned back on the chair to let Ruo Lan massage him, thinking about taking off all his makeup after dinner.
A few days ago, because he was busy with the bookstore, he ran out all day, so he simply asked the young lady to 'rest in peace. My uncle went out to visit friends.
"Master, it's Master Gong's birthday at the end of the month. Madam Gong wants to set up a drink. She just sent an invitation, what do you think?"
Ruo Lan remembered the news that came along with this invitation today, and couldn't help but burst into laughter. After attracting Gong Zhuoliang's suspicious eyes, she whispered in Gong Zhuoliang's ear.
It turned out to be Gong Zhuoliang's eldest brother, the eldest young master of the Gong family, Gong Zhuoyu, who filled in another direct daughter, and this is already his twelfth daughter, but there is still no son.
"Twelve hairpins are... it's not a full birthday. Let's follow last year's etiquette, and then play twelve golden hairpins as a gift for my nieces."
Gong Zhuoliang sneered when he heard the words, thinking a little bit badly in his heart, his cheap eldest brother, who is evil in his lust, probably won't be able to give birth to a son in this life, and he doesn't need to count on himself, then the Gong family is considered to be the last. ...It seems that nothing can hit the Gong family more than this.
Since the family split after the new year, Gong Zhuoliang has asked Qiao Yingze to play the role of the villain, and frightened Mrs. Gong with the fact that a man from the Gong family married a woman. In addition, the so-called truth given by Gong Zhuoliang made Mrs. Gong believe. Qiao Yingze endured this incident because he was abandoned by the family and had no money on his body. In the end, the two of them slapped a lot of money on it, and made Mrs. Gong dare not come to friendship again, and even wished to have a relationship with their husband. The husband and wife drew the line. Now, the invitation was suddenly sent in such a formal manner, thinking that the tigress had already reacted to being deceived and wanted to settle the account for herself.
Thinking of this, Gong Zhuoliang's eyes flashed, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly... Unfortunately, it was too late to understand.
"Master, what do you want to do?"
Seeing Gong Zhuoliang showing such a wicked smile, Ruo Lan knew that he had an idea, and couldn't help but ask a little curiously.
"I haven't decided yet. Don't worry about the Gong family beforehand. You and Ye'er quietly prepare the things to go out first, and then we'll set off to play in the summer resort for a few days. By the way, is Xianggong still in the study?"
He picked up the sweet soup and took a few sips, Gong Zhuoliang said in his heart that he was too busy during this time, and he left Xiao Xianggong in the cold. He had to take advantage of these two days to settle the family's accounts, and then go to Zhuangzi for a degree together. Leave, play with Xiao Xianggong for a few days.
Since the money obtained after the separation, Gong Zhuoliang has injected a large amount of funds into the bookstore, which saves a lot of time in its development speed than the original plan. Basically, there is no need to worry about it in the future. Ben made money.
After all, Gong Zhuoliang's career focus is on writing rather than real business. The reason for opening the bookstore is to pave the way for his novels, and also because this will not be regarded as a bad businessman. Therefore, in the remaining money, except for some living expenses, the rest of Gong Zhuoliang bought the land and farms as the master, and then rented them out like other landlords, except for a small amount of food and vegetables for their own food. The rent received is enough for their husband and wife to live in fine clothes and food for several years.
Therefore, Gong Zhuoliang deeply felt that it would be fine if he concentrated on staying at home and accompanies his relatives to play in the mountains and waters in his spare time, and then do more things he loves. That is called life.
"Understood, my uncle is still showing you the manuscript."
Ruo Lan remembered Gong Zhuoliang's orders, then took the soup cup and left, while Gong Zhuoliang looked at the sky and simply pushed the ledger and turned to the study to see his husband.
Since Qiao Yingze sent the figure painting to Gong Zhuoliang, Gong Zhuoliang handed over all the drafts he wrote to him, and Qiao Yingze really revised it very carefully, scrutinizing every chapter repeatedly, much more careful than the author Gong Zhuoliang.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX Ruolan went out of the yard and was about to go to the kitchen to find Han Shu, but a maid outside the yard told her that Steward Zhou was here, saying that she had something to do, Ruo Lan gave the tray to the maid and took it to the kitchen, and then sorted it out subconsciously. After taking a look at his clothes, he went to the side door facing Gong Zhuoliang's small house and talked to him inside and outside the door.
"Miss Ruolan, I'm sorry to disturb you."
The white and clean young gentleman bowed slightly to Ruolan, although the polite one didn't look directly at Ruolan's face, but he still couldn't help but take the opportunity to look twice when he spoke.
Usually, steward Zhou always waited at the side door when he came to report, but since Gong Zhuoliang came back, he has never had the chance to find Ruolan again, but this time Gong Zhuoliang went out to visit friends, so they had to report to his wife in advance, He immediately found a reason to meet people.
"Don't dare, what does Manager Zhou want to report to Madam?"
Ruo Lan lowered her eyes slightly and blessed her body, and then faced Manager Zhou's occasional gaze, and turned slightly shyly to avoid the frontal confrontation.
Ruo Lan knew that the person in front of her was a little different to her, but whenever her heart began to shake, another figure of greatness and extraordinary would come to her mind, making her dare not think about it any further, plus the person in front of her. It has also been lightly affectionate and unintentional, Ruo Lan is also afraid that she is being affectionate, so she slowly dragged it down like this, and there is no further development.
"It was found out that some of the magazine manuscripts were leaked. The offender was an apprentice of Yinzi, who has been sent to the yamen in public according to the young master's previous intention..."
Steward Zhou picked up on the things in the bookstore, and then it was basically a small talk. Although the two of them had a tacit understanding and did not bring up personal matters, the warm atmosphere gradually drifted into a bit of ambiguity. The smell, but when Director Zhou was about to leave, there was a sudden sound of horseshoes in the alley. He subconsciously turned around and saw that several tall young people were slowly approaching on horseback, and the leader was Tong. The style of the body and the appearance are also very handsome.
"Gong...sir!"
Ruolan was stunned when he saw Steward Zhou, and he looked out the door a little while wondering, but in the next moment he froze in surprise. The young man sitting high on the horse was not Gong Zhuoxiang, the cousin of his young master. !
"Where is who?"
In the distance, only one person was seen standing in the alley. Gong Zhuoxiang waved his hand to let the guards knock on the door of the small house, and urged the horse to slowly walk towards the person.
"!"
Steward Zhou, who turned to look at Gong Zhuoxiang, made a shush gesture. Ruolan hid his breath and hid at the door, hoping not to be discovered by Gong Zhuoxiang. How could he suddenly appear here, looking at the dusty appearance, it seems that he came directly here, how did he know about the small house outside?
"The little one is a servant in this house, I don't know this adult..."
Yu Guang swept Ruo Lan's panicked look, but Zhou Guanshi's expression remained unchanged, and he bowed to Gong Zhuoxiang with a modest and polite look, but he only said that he was a servant of the mansion, but he did not say that it was the Qiao mansion here. Or the palace over there.
"Then do you know where this uncle of the Qiao family is now?"
Gong Zhuoxiang didn't notice anyone in the yard, but when Steward Zhou was going to enter through that door, seeing that his subordinates knocked on the door and no one answered, he asked him again.
"Master Gong went out to visit friends two days ago. He said that he will be able to return in a few days. Is this Master Gong's friend? Why don't you go in and let me know."
Manager Zhou responded tactfully, bowing his head as if "I'm just a passerby, and I don't know much".
"No need, we will vote for the post later."
Seeing that no one was blocked, Gong Zhuoxiang didn't want to stay here any longer. They had been on their way for a few days, so it was better to find an inn for a good night's rest, and come back to Qiao's house tomorrow to ask clearly. .
"call…"
Hearing the sound of horse hooves outside, Ruo Lan exhaled a long breath, but when she turned her head, she saw Manager Zhou looking at her with tender eyes full of concern, Ruo Lan's heart couldn't help. Jump fast.
"That was the cousin of our young lady and young master just now... I have to hurry back and report to the young lady, Steward Zhou, walk slowly."
She hurriedly used Fu Li's actions to hide her panic, Ruo Lan didn't dare to look at Director Zhou again, and hurriedly went to the inner courtyard, leaving only the white and clean young man to watch her back, and did not take it back for a long time. look.
