Dressed as the vicious stepmother of the villains

Chapter 179 Brothers
Qiao Lianlian dragged Gu Cheng away before Yu Yan'er came out.

The eldest son's hands were bone-chillingly cold, and it took her a long time to warm them up before they showed any faint signs of warming up.

Qiao Lianlian felt sorry for him, "Cheng'er, that Miss Yu..."

"Mother, you don't have to worry." Gu Cheng said hoarsely, "I admit that I did have a little affection for her at first, but it has long since dissipated."

As for his cold hands, it wasn't because of Yu Yan'er.

It was because of Yu Feisheng.

Who would have thought that after two years, the two brothers would meet again, and it would be such a scene.

Gu Cheng still remembered the old days.

At that time, his mother was the crown princess, and Yu Feisheng's mother was the crown prince's side concubine. There were many discords between them, and even the two brothers had to be hostile to each other.

But in fact, they also have a lot of fun.

For example, when each other's maids and mothers are not by their side.

For example, when exchanging favorite gadgets outside the palace.

For example, exchange each other's favorite food during a meal and serve it in front of each other.

With these small tricks, although the two brothers don't have much contact on the surface, they actually have a good relationship.

At least Gu Cheng has always regarded him as his younger brother.

But two years ago, with a fire, everything changed.

The emperor's eldest grandson, Yu Feicheng, was buried in the flames together with his younger siblings. The crown prince and concubine were completely wiped out.

In the past two years, Gu Cheng suffered a lot, and Yu Feisheng enjoyed a lot of glory.

It would be a lie to say that he was not sad, but Gu Cheng always believed that this had nothing to do with Yu Feisheng, he was just a child, all the evil things were done by those people, he was innocent.

But the scene just now shattered Gu Cheng's fantasy.

It turned out that Yu Feisheng knew everything, and he even wanted to find out whether Gu Cheng was Yu Feicheng in a deliberately difficult way.

Those so-called brotherhoods may be true, but they are no match for the temptation of power and money.

Brother, no longer a brother.

Gu Cheng sighed a long, long breath, as if he wanted to spit out all the sorrows of the first half of his life.

Although Qiao Lianlian didn't know the reason, he patted his eldest son's head comfortingly.

The two returned to the other courtyard together.

The family members were all waiting in the yard, Gu Zhong was shaking his head reading a book, and Gu Lou was sweating profusely practicing martial arts.

Gu Que is embroidering handkerchiefs, and Gu Ge is spitting bubbles.

Hearing the sound of someone entering the door, the four children raised their heads together and shouted in unison, "Mother, brother."

Gu Cheng couldn't help but smile slightly, his tense heart eased.

Although he lost his half-brother, he still has closer family members.

"Mother." Gu Lou put away the mat, and ran up to Qiao Lianlian, "What four treasures of the study did you buy for brother, is it expensive?"

Qiao Lianlian deliberately teased the fat son, "It's expensive, it's precious, a brush is 20 taels of silver."

"What? 20 taels?" Gu Lou's eyes widened, "That's too expensive, 20 taels can buy a lot of meat, a lot of lamb legs."

"Yeah, our family is running out of money, and my mother can hardly afford it anymore." Qiao sighed again and again, "After much deliberation, I can only eat less meat and save money to buy a writing brush for my brother, Louer Are you okay?"

Less, eat less meat?
Does it mean that the daily sweet and sour pork ribs, braised pork, and roast leg of lamb are gone?
Gu Lou pursed his lips and looked at Qiao Lianlian with aggrieved eyes, as if he was going to cry in the next moment.

However, he sniffed and sniffed, and finally said, "Mother is right, my brother is going to go to Chinese studies, writing brushes are more important, and Lou'er is willing to eat less meat."

Then he added, "Eating a little less food is fine, but not less than two bowls, otherwise Lou'er will be hungry."

Qiao Lianlian and Gu Cheng looked at each other and laughed dumbfoundedly.

This silly boy is really stupid and cute.

Gu Lou didn't know that his stepmother was teasing him on purpose, so he was already looking up at the sky with his chin gloomily.

"Hey, delicious meat, I'm going to say goodbye to you for a few days, I hope you don't miss me too much." The little fat man muttered to himself, walked up to Gu Zhong, and touched his fourth brother's shoulder, " Poor fourth brother, he's going to lose weight again."

Qiao Lianlian was almost crying from laughter.

How can there be such a cute child.

Gu Zhong, who was suddenly pointed out, raised his head from the book, and looked at the stupid third brother speechlessly, "Can you eat less meat and read more books?"

Gu Lou didn't quite understand, "What does eating meat have to do with reading?"

"Eating meat will make you stupid, reading books will make you smart." Gu Zhong said seriously.

He has an introverted temperament, a bit gloomy, and he doesn't like to talk usually, but when he speaks, he always pokes people's heart directly.

It was Qiao Lianlian who accidentally got poked by this kid several times.

But Gu Lou is the only one who is not afraid of him.

It's not because Gu Lou is very smart, but because - he can't understand the winding words.

"Fourth brother, you are talking stupid again. Eating meat has nothing to do with studying." The little fat man taught his younger brother solemnly, "If there is a relationship, it is that people who study eat less meat. Look at you, and then look at big brother." , I don’t have as much meat as I eat.”

Gu Zhong was silent for a moment, then continued to bury his head in the book.

It's not that he is too diligent and hardworking, but that he really can't communicate with this third brother.

Forget it, then, no more communication.

That night, Gu Lou had already made preparations for a vegetarian meal.

As a result, Qiao repeatedly served another pot of fish with pickled cabbage, sweet and sour pork tenderloin, braised chicken drumsticks, and other meat dishes.

To the surprise of the little fat man, he ate his belly crookedly and lay on the chair humming.

In the end, Qiao repeatedly made Xiaoshi tea for him and gently massaged his stomach, before he managed to fall asleep.

Gu Cheng watched this scene with a smile, and his palms that were cold during the day gradually returned to temperature.

What a blessing it is to have a harmonious family.

Although he lost some things, he also gained a lot.

It's just that Yu Feisheng is suspicious. If he didn't find out the truth this time, there must be another time.

Gu Cheng wanted to ask King Qingping for help, but after thinking about it, what should come will always come, and he calmed down again.

there is always a solution to a problem.

Nothing more than that.

……

Gu Cheng successfully passed the entrance examination of Guoxue, and within three to five days after the results were released, someone delivered the school uniform and notified the start time.

In the end, Qiao Lianlian took Gu Cheng to buy new pens, inks, papers and inkstones, but they were not so expensive, but the ones with better quality in the East Street, ten taels of silver a set.

Gu Cheng was very satisfied, and Qiao Lianlian felt guilty.

On the first day of school, she got up early in the morning, steamed two baskets of small steamed buns, and personally sent the eldest son to the gate of the National Academy.

At the time when people were coming and going, many students who were newly admitted to the National Academy were wearing brand-new school uniforms, and stepped into the threshold of the National Academy with joy.

Only Gu Cheng was alone, calm and almost indifferent.

Qiao Lian patted his eldest son on the shoulder and was about to let him in when Yu Feisheng appeared in front of them at some point.

The boy who was also wearing a school uniform stared at Gu Cheng slyly, then suddenly changed his domineering attitude, stretched his arms, and rushed towards Gu Cheng.

And shouted, "Big Brother, Big Brother, are you back?"
