Chapter 136: Brother-in-law
No one found out what happened to Steward Qi, because the entire Zhuangzi was soon busy with Zhong Liyu and Atina's wedding.
After finishing the class with Wei Lao, the children came directly.
Zhong Lijue is the eldest of the three children, but because she is a little girl, she is also the most lively.
At this time, she was reaching out to pull the hem of Zhongli's clothes, and looked up at Zhongli with some anxiety.
"Second brother, second brother, eldest brother is getting married, isn't it? Isn't it? β
Now everyone in the family is talking about the eldest brother's family affairs, and they will soon have a sister-in-law!
Zhongli reached out and touched the little guy's soft little face, and couldn't help but chuckle and nodded.
"Yes! The eldest brother is not young anymore, and he is going to get married! When you are older, the second brother will also find someone for you to marry, okay? β
He teased as he spoke.
Zhongli Jue blinked his eyes, looked at Zhongli again, and couldn't help frowning, his expression was not good.
"Second brother, you know it...... You clearly know that the eldest brother is actually ...... Why would you do this? I don't want to get married, I don't want to! β
As the little guy spoke, her eyes turned red, and before Zhongli could open her mouth again, her big bright eyes had already begun to drop golden beans.
Zhongli couldn't help but put his eyes on the two Zhongli Xian, who were small but already sensible, and saw the two little guys frowning, and staring at Zhongli with some unsightliness.
Zhong Li let out a sigh of helplessness, called Rumo in, and asked Rumo to find Zhong Liyu to come in, while wiping the tears of the little guy.
"Don't cry, don't cry. I'll explain it to you when your eldest brother comes, okay? β
These children probably thought that they forced Zhong Liyu to marry a wife, so now they have come to make trouble with themselves!
Zhongli pouted, climbed down from Zhongli, and shook his head, leaving Zhongli with a big black head.
But Zhong Liyun ran to Zhongli's side with his little short legs, reached out to hug Zhongli's waist, and slowly spoke.
"Will Big Brother leave us?"
Their family has been dependent on each other for so long, and now that Zhong Liyue has left, if Zhong Liyu leaves again, their family will be even less!
Zhongli's body stiffened suddenly, and the smile on his face paused for a moment, before he reached out and lifted the other party's arm holding him, making him take a few steps back, and he squatted down to look at him.
"How could you think that? Is it because he is reluctant to give up his big brother? β
Zhongli Yun pursed his mouth, nodded heavily with red eyes, and then looked at Zhongli with big wet eyes, and spoke aggrievedly.
"I can't bear to give up my big brother. But second brother, you will also marry a wife. β
His meaning is very clear, although the person who is married now is Zhong Liyu, but he can think long-term, and from this matter, he thinks that Zhong Li also wants to get married. So now that Zhong Liyu can't leave them, it's extremely important!
If Zhongli Yu is leaving, it means that Zhongli will also leave in the future.
Thinking of the vague meaning expressed in this little guy's words, Zhongli couldn't help but sigh helplessly, reached out and gently wiped his tears from him, and shook his head helplessly.
"Silly boy, just because we're married doesn't mean we're leaving! Moreover, you are still young and don't know yet, some things are inevitable, like the departure of your third brother, just like the marriage of your eldest brother. In the future, when you all grow up and have stiff wings, you will fly out alone. β
No one will always be by anyone's side, even if it is the person you love the most, there will be life and death, which is inevitable.
After the other two children finished speaking, they pounced directly on Zhongli.
"Second brother!"
"Don't go!"
"Take me with you!"
Three different voices sounded at the same time, all with a touch of crying.
When Zhong Liyu entered the door, what he saw was the scene of three villains holding Zhong Li tightly and crying.
Zhongli raised his eyes, looked at him and Wang Qinglin behind him, hurriedly reached out and patted the three villains who were holding his arms tightly, and pointed outside.
"Oh, your big brother is here, let's go!"
The three little guys got up at this time, and when they saw Wang Qinglin behind her, everyone look at me, I look at you, they all blushed their cheeks and were speechless.
Seeing this, Wang Qinglin turned around and wanted to go out, but Zhong Liyu next to him grabbed his hand tightly and shook his head at him with a smile.
The man sighed softly in his heart, and his heart quickly struck with a touch of warmth.
Rumo had the foresight to close the outside door and leave the space inside to the masters.
"Does the eldest brother have something to say to Steward Wang?"
Wang Qinglin often walked around the Zhuangzi, and they had not seen each other, and they spoke quickly when they heard the words.
Zhong Liyu took Wang Qinglin forward with a red cheek and introduced them.
"This is your brother-in-law, let's call it brother-in-law!"
Brother-in-law?
The little guys glanced at each other, then winked at Zhong Liyu, and then looked at Zhong Li suspiciously.
"Is it true that the eldest brother wants to marry a man and be the king's steward? But didn't everyone say it was Sister Atina before? β
Zhong Lixian's small face was full of suspicion and curiosity.
But Zhong Liyun frowned, looked at them with both eyes, and turned around to give his younger brother a troublemaker.
"What do you know? If you marry, you will marry a man, and if you marry, you will marry a woman. β
Zhong Lijue suddenly realized on his face beside him, and stretched out his hand to point at Zhong Liyu and Wang Qinglin.
"Oh, I see! Actually, it's the king who wants to marry the eldest brother, right? β
After saying that, he narrowed his eyes with a happy face.
And Zhong Liyun sighed helplessly, reached out and slapped his head hard, and twitched the corners of his mouth a little speechlessly.
"You were also called big brother just now, how can a man marry a man?"
Zhongli Jue pursed his lips and snorted coldly.
"Anyway, I don't care, the eldest brother is not a man, and the eldest brother is a woman like me."
Seeing that a few little guys were about to quarrel, and Zhong Li and Zhong Liyu had no intention of stopping them, Wang Qinglin couldn't help but touch his nose and come out to explain to them.
"What the fourth prince wants to say is that your eldest brother is actually a woman, so he can marry a man, right?"
Zhong Lijue's eyes lit up, and he nodded quickly like pounding garlic.
Wang Qinglin looked at the other two little girls in women's clothes and continued to speak with a smile.
"And what Miss Fifth just meant was that the eldest prince is a man, so he can't marry a man, right?"
A few of the little ones nodded quickly.
Wang Qinglin smiled, stretched out his hand and interlocked his fingers with Zhong Liyu, with a gentle expression.
"So, your eldest brother ostensibly married Atina as a man, but in fact he was a woman, and he married me, isn't it just right?"
Yes?
Can it still be like this?
The little ones' eyes widened and they looked at them in disbelief.
Zhong Liyu smiled, stretched out his hand to point at Wang Qinglin, and spoke again.
"Why don't you call your brother-in-law?"
Wang Qinglin coughed dryly, although he did not refuse, he changed his name in the end.
"It's better to call it brother, after all, if you call your brother-in-law, it is easy to expose your identity, and it is not good to be known by someone with a heart."
Zhong Liyu smiled and nodded, meaning that everything you said was right.
Zhongli couldn't help but roll his eyes towards the sky, but pushed a few little guys around him forward.
"Scream! Whether it's a brother-in-law or an older brother, anyway, if you call it, you'll have a gift! β
She spoke narrowly.
When a few little guys heard the word "gift", they immediately looked at them with bright eyes, and they called "brother" and "brother" happily.
Zhong Liyu suddenly glared at Zhong Li, how did he know what gifts were not gifts?
The son had just changed his clothes, and there was nothing in his sleeve.
On the other hand, Wang Qinglin took his hand with a smile, raised his voice to let Rubai outside come in, and brought in the things he had given him before.
"This is a lot of good things I collected when I was out there before, let's play with them for you!"
They are three pieces of jade, and they look good in texture.
The smile on Zhongli's face deepened a little, and his gaze was full of approval when he looked at Wang Qinglin.
This man, not bad!
But who knows, after the other party handed it to the three children, he actually gave herself two pieces, she raised her eyes in surprise and looked over, and saw the man laughing and joking.
"Although I don't dare to respond to the second son, I still have to give the gift that should be prepared. This piece belongs to the second son, and this piece belongs to the third son, and the second son is asked to transfer it on his behalf. β
Zhong Lipi touched the jade pendant in his hand without smiling, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and look at the man.
"Tsk, I really didn't expect that you were really willing to smash your book."
These five jade pendants alone are worth a lot of money, right?
She cast her eyes on Zhong Liyu, who was now looking at Wang Qinglin with affection, and couldn't help but smile.
"So the eldest brother's piece must be more expensive, right?"
Wang Qinglin didn't speak, just laughed.
And when Zhong Liyu heard the word "big brother" and looked at it in a blink of an eye, he suddenly blinked curiously, confused.
"Me? What's wrong with me? β
"Jade pendant, I was just saying that Wang Qinglin was too much, how can I prepare a jade pendant for us, I don't know how to give you a piece?"
Zhong Liyu said "oh" for a moment, and then smiled and was about to pull the jade pendant out of his neck.
"Here it is! Here, we're two of us. β
Wang Qinglin wanted to stop it, but he was a little embarrassed to stuff her jade pendant into her neck again in Zhongli's joking eyes, and the action was done in one go, and she didn't seem to be embarrassed at all.
On the contrary, Zhong Liyu didn't seem to notice it, so he stood there so calmly.
Zhongli almost whistled a hooligan!
What a fiancΓ©!
And the children at the bottom have already begun to "shyly" shave their faces and joke!
Zhong Liyu glared at Wang Qinglin with some shame, like that, it was like his face was on fire.
Zhongli smiled and opened his mouth directly to relieve the siege of the eldest brother.
"Big brother, don't you still have something to do? Let's go, take care of your body these days, and be a bride when the time comes. β
Zhong Liyu was teased again, glared at Zhong Li with some hatred, and then reached out and pulled Wang Qinglin, and quickly escaped from here.
Zhongli exhaled heavily, focusing on the three children, and before he could say a word, he saw Rumo come in.
"Second son, someone is visiting."
