Gong Zhuoliang's vision has been raised to a very high level after seeing many modern artificial beauties, but the classically handsome man in front of him really made him greatly amazed.

But it was amazing, but Gong Zhuoliang didn't have any other thoughts, so when the other party's eyes met him, Gong Zhuoliang could look back very naturally.

Because he didn't know the identity of the other party, Gong Zhuoliang didn't take the initiative to say hello, but the man seemed a little surprised by Gong Zhuoliang's attitude. Zhuo Liang bowed slightly.

"…"

Although there has been some speculation about the identity of the man, Gong Zhuoliang still felt like he was struck by lightning after seeing him perform a male version of the blessing. Is this man really Master Qiao's favorite? ?

Different from the blessing ceremony in which a woman puts her hands on her left side and then bends her legs slightly, if a man in this era is a wife and concubine, he will perform this kind of etiquette between the bow and the blessing ceremony. You need to bow instead of kneeling.

Gong Zhuoliang knew that Master Qiao had Mingqi's concubine, but there was no man among them, and he had never seen any child molester favorite around him. Gong Zhuoliang thought that Master Qiao didn't like male sex, but he actually raised him With such a great beauty... But why have I never heard of this person's existence?

"If the young lady doesn't dislike it, how about drinking a cup of tea at the villain's place?"

The diameter of the small lake is only ten meters, and the small building is separated from the shore of Gong Zhuoliang's side by a 'Z'-shaped bridge, so the handsome man only amplifies the volume a little, and Gong Zhuoliang can hear it. clear.

Because in this era, male concubines, male concubines, etc. are also considered as housekeepers. Although they generally do not live in the same hospital with female relatives, they do not need to strictly guard against men and women when they get along with each other on weekdays. Gong Zhuoliang saw someone coming out of the maid's room on the other side of the bank, so he generously responded to the beautiful man's invitation, crossed the bridge and walked in through the decorative birdcage.

"There is such a handsome young master in the mansion, I have never seen it before, how dare you ask the son?"

Guessing that the other party probably guessed his identity based on his clothes, Gong Zhuoliang opened a topic with a slight smile, sat on the upper chair under the gesture of the other party's respectful invitation, and then motioned for the handsome man to also sit down, and the one who heard the movement The little girl who came out to serve also walked in quickly. After pouring tea for the two of them, she quietly bowed her head and stood behind the handsome man.

"The young lady is over-acclaimed, the villain is cherished, the peace of peace, the cherished cherish."

Ping Xi was stunned for a moment when she heard Gong Zhuoliang's voice, but she quickly concealed her abnormality by taking a seat.

Among the people Pingxi met, most of them were either confused by his skin, or they hated and despised his appearance and identity. Today, it is rare to meet a person who can look at him with such plain and natural eyes. He took the initiative to invite each other, but when he got closer and looked at the young lady, Ping Xi vaguely felt that the other party seemed a little unusual.

"Don't be afraid to make jokes, I was wandering in this garden alone today, and I didn't want to get lost, so I came here. The maids can't find me for a long time, I'm afraid I'm going to mess up, so I won't bother you much at this time. It's just that if you still want to come to Pingxi to drink tea in the future, I don't know if you're welcome or not?"

Because he didn't know the situation of the other party, it was difficult to speak casually. Gong Zhuoliang just said a few words of courtesy, and then got up and prepared to leave, but the more he looked at the man in front of him, the less he looked like an Israeli servant's favorite. Although his appearance is seductive, he does not have the coquettishness that is used to romantic affairs. Instead, he is refreshing and refreshing like a person with few desires. Therefore, Gong Zhuoliang's impression of him is getting better and better, and he feels that it is rare to see him in the sea of ​​flowers. With a piece of grass, he can find his own kind.

"The villain is honored. In half a month, the fresh fruit wine brewed by the villain will be opened. If the young lady is interested, you can come and taste it with the eldest young master."

According to Ping Xi's original idea, he did not want to have anything to do with the people in this mansion, but the young lady aroused his curiosity, so Ping Xi uncharacteristically expressed his willingness to communicate, even behind him The little girl showed a surprised look.

"Then it's settled. At that time, we will come here to harass Pingxi."

Gong Zhuoliang wanted to know each other, but now that Pingxi took the initiative to invite him, he agreed immediately. As for the other party's invitation along with Qiao Yingze, Gong Zhuoliang just thought he was doing it to avoid suspicion and didn't think much about it.

"The villain should be waiting for you, Xuehua, and send the young lady."

Ping Xi walked to the cage and stopped, watching Gong Zhuoliang disappear into the arch with a thoughtful look on his face.

There is nothing wrong with the voice of the young lady, but Pingxi has been playing the role of Xiaosheng for ten years before, and she has been on the same stage with a Huadan who is best at singing female voices for ten years, and she is used to seeing his male voice. She looks like she is serving others with female makeup, so when she hears Gong Zhuoliang's voice, she feels a little unnatural, and then observes Gong Zhuoliang's figure and behavior. Ordinary people may think it is dignified and elegant, but Pingxi feels that it is more than heroic and not charming enough. A woman's natural softness is lost...

Pingxi had doubts in her heart, and became more interested in this young lady. As for inviting the eldest young master to come with her, she also wanted to clear up the doubts in her heart—whether it was her own mistake, or the young master who made a mistake. , actually recognized a male wife?

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX Gong Zhuoliang followed the maid named Xuehua just a few turns, and saw the pavilion where she rested at the beginning, and also saw the rain painting, the snow painting that was rushing around and looking around. As his eyes also saw the rain painting, he resigned to Gong Zhuoliang and left.

"Young madam, are you alright? It's all the servant's fault..."

As soon as Yu Hua saw Gong Zhuoliang, she trotted and rushed over, feeling nervous and annoyed. On weekdays, the young master and young lady are served by Sister Han Shu and the others, and there are not many opportunities to serve alone. It is rare for the young lady to serve today. With myself by my side, but I have made such a big mistake, I am really stupid.

God knows that Gong Zhuoliang can't be found after Yu Hua came back with the cakes, so he was so anxious that he didn't dare to go back to ask the sisters for help, and he didn't dare to ask anyone casually, for fear that if the young lady just left for a while, she would lose her fuss. The face of the young lady, the young lady will despise herself in the future.

"I'm just walking around, you asked someone to find me?"

Gong Zhuoliang didn't mention meeting Pingxi, just worried that Yuhua, this little girl, was not very stable, and it would be bad to ask people what kind of topic it would bring up. tell someone.

"No, the slaves didn't talk nonsense. I just thought that if I don't see the young lady in a while, I'll go back and ask Sister Wenshu to call the shots."

Yu Hua looked at Gong Zhuoliang's face, and seeing that he was not unhappy, knowing that he did nothing wrong this time, he was finally relieved.

"Well, well done."

Gong Zhuoliang nodded when he heard the words, Xin Dao Wenshu really taught everyone very well, even a straightforward and impatient person like Yuhua could make her understand the proportions and priorities.

At the moment, Gong Zhuoliang didn't say anything more, and went back to the yard with the rain painting, and saw Qiao Yingze, who had been out for a long time mysteriously, also came back, changing the rough and plain fabric he was wearing when he left. cloth robe.

"Xianggong, it's still very hot, what should you rush out of yourself, what should you do if you have a heat stroke?"

The weather at the end of August was still very hot. Although it was still in the morning, Gong Zhuoliang was sweating profusely while strolling in the yard, not to mention that Qiao Yingze had been running outside all morning. .

"It's almost done. I'll go out tomorrow morning. I'll be able to go to my grandmother in a few days to separate the family from the premise."

Qiao Yingze took off his sweaty shirt, took a few sips of warm water handed over by Gong Zhuoliang, and showed a relaxed smile on his fair and handsome face.

"Don't be in a hurry at this time, do you want to take a bath first, and have a good afternoon sleep to slow down."

Gong Zhuoliang took out a set of clean clothes and put them by the bed. Seeing that Qiao Yingze shook his head and indicated that he didn't need to take a bath, he threw a cloth towel in warm water to wipe his body briefly and put on his clothes, then went to the outer couch to talk with Qiao Yingze. Yes, it's cooler there.

"Have you seen Pingxi?"

Hearing Gong Zhuoliang mentioning the name Pingxi, Qiao Yingze, who was squinting lazily, was refreshed and turned his face to look at Gong Zhuoliang's expression.

"Well, in a secluded courtyard in the garden, who is he? Why does he live in a small building like a birdcage in the middle of the lake?"

Leaning beside Qiao Yingze, Gong Zhuoliang asked curiously, he intuitioned that Pingxi was a person with a story, he didn't know what his identity was, and how could he be Master Qiao's favorite boy, what a waste.

"He was originally an actor in the palace of Huaining County, and he was best at pretending to be a small student. Together with An Xi, who played the role of Dan, they were collectively called 'Shuangxi'. At that time, the opera troupe raised in the palace of Huaining was very famous locally, and among them What is most sought after by people is this pair of cherishes, they were once pampered and protected by King Huaining as his heart and soul."

When Qiao Yingze saw that Gong Zhuoliang's expression was just pure curiosity, not as obsessed as others, he relaxed and slowly told Pingxi's life experience.

It's just that he has heard of a lot of them, and he hasn't seen them a few times, so he doesn't know very well.

"Since he was once favored by the Prince of Huaining County, why did he come to the Qiao Mansion?"

When Gong Zhuoliang heard that the person was actually an actor, or a famous one, he couldn't help but feel even more curious. Although there was no opera troupe in Qiao's house, they would invite a good troupe to sing a few times during festivals and birthdays. , All those actors Gong Zhuoliang have seen are very powdery, even if they sing male characters like Xiaosheng, they tend to be femininous in their behavior.

As for the Pingxi I saw today, in addition to having a miserable appearance, he felt more like a layman with few desires.

"My father and the King of Huaining County have been friends for more than ten years. I happened to work there before. When the grandmother of the King of Huaining County passed away, she was going to be filial. Somehow someone joined him in front of the imperial palace, saying that there was still a lot of filial piety in the palace during the filial piety period. There was a matter of the opera troupe, so the King of Huaining had to disband them, and sent all the actors, among them Pingxi, was given to his father, and his father always disliked male sex, and seeing that the King of Huaining County faintly had someone he wanted to recall. Meaning, the mansion has always treated him as a guest. He is also a person who understands proportions, and rarely leaves his small courtyard, and the birdcage-like small building is also a copy of Pingxi's residence in the palace of the Prince of Huaining County. ."

Qiao Yingze spoke softly in a slow tone. This incident was a commotion in the mansion at first, and even someone like Qiao Yingze who doesn't care about his own business was known by Han Shu and Qiao Ming's gossip.

Qiao Yingze still remembers that at the time, his mother wanted to use him to win his father's heart and make his father alienate his concubines in the backyard. After all, men who can't have children are much less of a threat than women who strive for favor, and father's concubines are much less of a threat. They were hostile and guarded against him for a long time. After all, the appearance of Mr. Pingxi was indeed very impressive, but later, it was seen that he had been staying out of the hospital in peace, and he did not see any contact between his father and him. Gradually calm down.

It's just the gossip of these elders, Qiao Yingze doesn't want to talk about it casually.

"But father-in-law has been in Bocheng for four years. Is there any news from King Huaining?"

According to Gong Zhuoliang's knowledge, Master Qiao was the prefect of Bocheng for one consecutive term. This year is already his fourth year in Bocheng. Didn't Pingxi also stay in Qiaofu for four years? As an actor, he is too old. If he is abandoned by King Huaining, what will happen to him in the future?

"I don't know if there is any news from Prince Huaining, but I just remember that his mother passed away before his twenty-seven-month period of filial piety came out, and he has to serve another twenty-seven months to count the days. , there is probably still one year left to show filial piety."

Qiao Yingze was also aware of some situations when Ping Xi came, but he didn't pay attention to it later. It was just that the grandmother and mother of the Queen of Huaining County had given gifts at home, so he remembered the approximate time.

"Cough...that's bad enough."

Gong Zhuoliang unscrupulously showed a little sympathy for the county prince who had been filial piety for five years. At this time, Wen Shu came to knock on the door and reminded Gong Zhuoliang that it was time to go to the old lady. The topic of Ping Xi came to an end temporarily. Gong Zhuoliang told Qiao Yingze that he had agreed to Ping Xi's half-month appointment, and went to the old lady's courtyard after finishing his makeup.

The next day, Qiao Yingze went out for another morning. When he came back, he asked Gong Zhuoliang to go to the old lady to report his illness. Gong Zhuoliang, seeing his mysterious appearance, suppressed his curiosity and lied to the old lady. In a dangerous situation, it was said that Qiao Yingze had fallen ill from heatstroke, so the old lady was so anxious that she went to their courtyard to see it in person. Seeing that she was really pale and weak, she quickly avoided Gong Zhuoliang's rules and let him take good care of her husband.

After spending a few days with Gong Zhuoliang leisurely in the yard, Qiao Yingze, who was finally "recovered", went to the old lady's yard alone and started the most crucial part of his plan.
