Court Marriage

"Li'er, daddy is fine, grandmother, if you are angry, just hit your grandson. Don't hurt yourself, 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 soothingly, staring at the old lady with a worried look on his face, really afraid that the old man would get angry, and that she would be determined to stop him.

"It's fine if you don't want to marry the Yang family anymore. It's serious to take care of your grandson-in-law now. As for the rest... I'll talk about it later."

Familiar with the stubbornness of her two grandsons, the old lady knew that he would not listen to what she said now, and was afraid that Qiao Yingxuan would really say something irreparable, so she waved her hand with a headache to signal him to stop talking, and she leaned forward. Leaning on the mat, he slowly calmed the anger in his heart.

"Yes…"

Seeing that the old lady didn't want to listen anymore, Qiao Yingxuan didn't dare to continue to add fuel to the fire, so she obeyed obediently, and then filially hammered the old lady's leg.

"Ancestor, don't be angry."

Qiao Minli also stopped crying in his father's arms, then snuggled into the old lady's arms and sat down, and then went to caress her chest in a decent manner, causing the old lady to cry out and hug him again. in the arms.

When their grandparents and grandchildren were talking in the room, Qiao Minyan led his younger brother and sister and his uncle, and they also gathered in the side hall to talk. Because of the difference in age, the ten-year-old Qiao Yingran sat at the main seat in the small hall. On his left are Qiao Minyan, Gong Jinxian, Zhang Lu, and on his right are Qiao Yiyue, Qiao Minren, and Qiao Minyi.

The children, who would have been very lively when they gathered together, were in a bad mood at this time because of Yang Yingmo's illness, especially Qiao Yiyue and Qiao Minren, who were already sensible. On the chair, even Qiao Minyi, who was usually lively and active, sat there obediently playing with his fingers. Although he was only six years old, he didn't quite understand what life, old age, sickness and death was, but he knew that his mother was not feeling well. , my ancestors, my father, my elder brothers and sisters are not happy, I should be a little better myself.

Qiao Yingran has always been a dull and honest character. He feels that he is ordinary in all aspects and has nothing to do with it. Because of his seniority, he cannot play with his nephews and nieces at will, so he is usually in front of his third brother Qiao Yingzi. Being able to be like a child, after sitting with Qiao Minyan and the others for a while, they felt that each other was quite depressed, so they used Yuko to run to find his third brother who was studying.

Qiao Yingzi is now a scholar, but he failed the exam in August, which made the 16-year-old third child suffer a bit. I have been studying hard for a while, and I often forget the time when I start studying. I have to remind my brother to remember what day it is today.

"Yiyue, Min Ren, this is a congratulatory gift from the eldest brother to you. Of course, I will not forget Xiaoyi. This is for you."

After Qiao Yingran was gone, Qiao Minyan looked at several younger siblings present, took out two delicate 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 He took the little puppet that could be put on his hand from the maid again, touched Qiao Minyi's head, and let him play with it by himself.

This year's ten-year-old Qiao Minyan, because he is growing fast and likes to learn martial arts, now he has left the tender baby appearance of his childhood and has become a handsome and bright young man. Originally, he wanted to become a little dad. That kind of 'yuppie' hero, but he can't get up because of his helpless temperament, so he can only follow the teaching of the two fathers and follow the line of Confucianism, both civil and military, so don't think that he is still young now, that sentence A line is really cool.

"Thank you brother."

The 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 heroic spirit between her eyebrows, she looked very distressing.

Because Yang Yingmo's health has not been very good in recent years, Qiao Yiyue has learned a lot from her great-grandmother at a young age. She has a stubborn temper, coupled with the nature of protecting her younger brother, she is used to learning. The old lady has a hearty and decisive way of doing things, so she can't be soft and coquettish, but she is 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, pursed his lips and smiled shyly. If it is said that the same appearance on a girl is beautiful and heroic, then on his boy, it must be said that He is handsome, although not as delicate and picturesque as Qiao Minyan, but with his gentle and shy temperament, in this era of male style, it can also be seen that he will be very attractive in the future.

"I gave it to you, stupid girl. What my brother and I mean is that tomorrow we all go to the temple to pray for the second aunt, and stroll around the city by the way. Do you want to go?"

Taking advantage of Qiao Minyan's play with Qiao Minyi's puppets, Gong Jinxian and Zhang Lu walked to Qiao Yiyue's sister and brother together. asked her a question.

Different from Qiao Minyan's obvious growth, the nine-year-old Gong Jinxian is still as beautiful as a little girl as a child, so he is quite entangled in his heart, but with the comfort of his little father taking himself as an example, there are still others. Daddy's previous portrait of little daddy was proof, so he had to work hard to believe that he would be as tall and handsome as little daddy in the future.

"Don't you always take Ren'er and not me? What's wrong with this one? You can tell me first if you have any conditions."

She was too lazy to quarrel with Gong Jinxian about the name. 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 being a pie, Qiao Yiyue can't stand his boyish family clinging to his brother and uncle all day long, coquettish and eloquent, so they really don't like each other for a long time, and now Gong Jinxian suddenly Taking the initiative to say goodbye, Qiao Yiyue naturally has to be on guard.

"What do you have that I'm thinking about? It's not because you are a birthday star, and you are praying for the second aunt, so why don't you go?"

Being looked at so provocatively by Qiao Yiyue, Gong Jinxian also raised his chin and looked back at her. Usually, he and his brother took Rendi and Xiaolu out to play, and she always wanted to follow her as a girl. The old ancestors and the others knew how to get it. This time, it was he who told the little daddy in the name of praying for the second aunt, and he was allowed to do so, but he was kind enough to play with her because she was pitiful recently. A good stupid girl.

"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 the signature dimples. Like Qiao Minyan, he listened to Gong Jinxian's words the most, and immediately helped his second brother abduct him. people.

"Go, of course!"

Qiao Yiyue was just habitually arguing with Gong Jinxian, and she would be in a hurry to respond. Not to mention that she usually has no chance to go out at all, even if she goes to her grandmother's house or to visit relatives, she will always sit there. In the carriage, which was strictly blocked, I could only hear the lively voices. I could see through the shadows in the curtains. This time I went out with my brothers, and I could see the real thing.

"I also need to go!"

Qiao Minyi, who was playing with puppets, heard it, jumped down from the chair and put his arms around Gong Jinxian's waist. I brought it all, why didn't I bring him!

"Little Yi, didn't we agree? When you are as tall as brother Lu, the brothers will take you out to play."

Seeing that Gong Jinxian was almost unsteady under the rubbing of his fleshy little body, Qiao Minyan hurriedly hugged Gong Jinxian and supported Qiao Minyi, and then pointed at Zhang Lu to coax him.

"Okay, Daddy said that a man's words count...but how long do I have to grow to be as tall as Brother Lu?"

When Qiao Minyi heard this, he sighed with a sullen face, and then looked at Zhang Lu and became tangled. The nurse clearly said that I grew up very fast, how could I be so much worse than Brother Lu?

Qiao Minyi ignored it. When he was growing up, his brother Lu was also growing up, and for this, his brothers and sisters were very tacit understanding and no one reminded him...

"Then remember to change into the same dress as Brother Ren tomorrow, and we'll 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. While they were talking, the servants came to report 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 birthdays, and when Qiao Yingze and Gong Zhuoliang brought Qiao Minyan home, they saw the two of them sticking together face to face along the way, not knowing what they were muttering. Gong Zhuoliang has always insisted on quality education for the two children. Simply put, it is the stocking principle that is grasped in the general direction and grows freely with them, so their husbands don't care much.

That night, the family of four stayed in the study as usual, dealing with official business, studying and studying. After the two children finished writing the 'diary' arranged by Gong Zhuoliang and went to bed, they arranged the official palace for Qiao Yingze. Zhuo Liang relaxed in the chair, picked up the children's diary and read it, and then choked on his own saliva gorgeously...

"Zhuoliang, what's wrong with you?"

Seeing this, Qiao Yingze who was behind the desk hurriedly got up and walked to his side, squatted down and patted his back, then took the diary in his hand and looked at it. He was always calm and could not help but be silent.

"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, is fond of martial arts, he is also very serious and hard-working in studying literature. In general, he is a child who makes their husband and wife very worry-free, while the second son, Jinxian, is very smart. Clever, born to be a good material for reading, but his thoughts are too free, which can often make their husbands angry and funny, but they are reluctant to restrain him too much.

"Because Taoist priests don't have to get married, and they also say that it is not good to shave their heads if they dislike monks, hahahaha... This child is too cute!"

After coughing, Harem Zhuoliang 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 was too good at thinking, and asked the servant to inquire about the gossip and know that his second uncle was 'forced to marry' , so I planned ahead and said in my diary that I wanted to become a Taoist priest and not get married, but it was written for their husband and wife to read.

"It's all yours..."

With his back against Gong Zhuoliang's chest, he swayed with him in the reclining chair. Qiao Yingze looked at the diary in his hand and couldn't help but sighed and squinted at Gong Zhuoliang. Seeing that the children were taught, at such a young age, he knew how to act innocently in front of people, but when he got to the husband and wife, he showed his true self. .

"Am I alone?"

Let Qiao Yingze turn over and lie on top of him, Gong Zhuoliang stroked his smooth and delicate chin with his fingers, leaned over to cover the smiling lips, and at the same time couldn't help sighing in his heart, this is twenty-nine years old and almost thirty. I'm old, how come my skin is still so tender, and 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 was up and down, finally failed to make it through the year. He passed away a month before the new year. Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it was the end of the ninth year of Qianwu...

Except for Qiao Yingxuan, who was in plain white mourning clothes, standing in front of the side door of Prince Zhong's mansion, he just knocked on it, and the door was silently opened again, revealing a familiar face of resentment.

"I'm finally here, your lord. Come on, I know what you're going to say. Let's lead the way."

Knowing that the little **** must have been ordered to wait for him here early in the morning, Qiao Yingxuan first smiled and blocked his words, then raised his legs and stepped into the door.

Half a month ago, Si Shao told him to come to the Prince's Mansion today, and he was reminded several times in the middle, which made Qiao Yingxuan have to wonder what kind of special day this was. There are eleven days for Chinese New Year, which is an ordinary day.

"Congratulations, sir."

Because of Qiao Yingxuan's easy-going and hearty nature, the little **** would dare to joke with him on weekdays, but now when he sees Qiao Yingxuan, he narrows his eyes and laughs non-stop. After seeing Qiao Yingxuan outside Si Shao's bedroom, he leaves After giving Qiao Yingxuan an inexplicable congratulations, he bowed to the side and stopped talking.

"Mysterious..."

Laughing angrily at the little eunuch, Qiao Yingxuan was also secretly looking forward to their mysterious tricks, but he was already prepared for a surprise. After opening the door, Qiao Yingxuan saw the festive red Shen'er was still stunned, and when he was gently pushed into the room by the little eunuch, he was awakened by the sound of the door closing softly, and then saw Si Shao come out from behind the screen in a happy dress, Qiao Yingxuan only felt in an instant. I can't see anyone else but himself.

"Cough... how is it?"

After clearing his throat with a light cough, Si Shao tugged at the sleeve of his wedding dress, walked to Qiao Yingxuan, and asked in a low voice, holding back a smile.

"…nice."

Compared with Si Shao's forbearance of laughter, Qiao Yingxuan did not hesitate to smile and praise his own, and his eyes were almost glued to his face and could not be moved away.

"I specially chose today's auspicious day. Come on, come and change clothes with me. The mother-in-law will come over in a while."

At last, 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 appointment' made by Si Shao and him, but he didn't expect it to be passed by the elders, and the concubine would actually agree with him to do this!

"Concubine Mu couldn't persuade me, so she had to agree."

Taking Qiao Yingxuan into the back room, Si Shao personally put on the same wedding dress as his own, and then smiled and shook the red hijab in front of him.

"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.

"Any questions about this?"

Si Shao approached step by step with the red handkerchief in his hand, and the smile on his face was full of malicious intent, but now Qiao Yingxuan is no longer as afraid of his coercion as he used to be, so Si Shao really couldn't catch him for a while. Qiao Yingxuan, who was running around.

"Shao, let's avoid this."

"No, stop for me!"

"Don't stop!"

"stop!"
