Shou'an Hall.

The juniors went to Shou'an Hall to pay their respects to Mrs. Gu.

Seeing that Gu Xiuming, who had fallen out of favor with Mrs. Gu, was now favored by Mrs. Gu again and had regained her favor, everyone had different thoughts.

The most disappointed person is Mrs. Zhang. She originally thought that her brother-in-law helped her younger son to have a relationship and go to Lingshan Academy because he valued her son. However, because she was disappointed with the willful Gu Xiuming, she wanted to adopt her younger son to the third room. .

Unexpectedly, just how long had passed before Gu Xiuming suddenly repented, became motivated and studious, regained her favor, and treated her brother-in-law as a loving father and a filial son. Her son might not have the chance to adopt the third family as the eldest son.

This matter can be regarded as a good thing for Mrs. Chen. As long as Mrs. Zhang's son has no chance and can't bluster in front of her, she will be happy. Whoever becomes the heir has nothing to do with their second wife, and it will never be his turn. Their family is Xiuhong.

Mrs. Chen's indifferent eyes fell on Mrs. Zhang, catching the unwillingness in Mrs. Zhang's eyes. The corners of her mouth raised slightly, and she turned to look at Meng Jinyao. Seeing that Meng Jinyao had a decent smile on her face, and did not show anything strange, she was a little bit I am curious whether Gu Xiuming, who has learned a lot, can beat Meng Jinyao.

Mrs. Gu suddenly asked her three grandchildren: "This autumn, have you three brothers thought about giving it a try?"

The three brothers are all scholars and have the qualifications to participate in the Qiu Wei Festival. However, their grandchildren are not very old. Mrs. Gu actually didn't have much expectations. She wanted to gain experience by participating. If she could win, it would be an unexpected surprise and she would shine on her family.

Gu Xiuhong was the first to answer: "Grandma, my grandson is ready to give it a try."

Seeing that the second brother has all participated, Gu Xiuyuan, as the eldest brother, must not be a coward. Moreover, he is already eighteen years old and is about to be a father. If he does not participate this year, the next time will be three years later. In three years, he will be the second brother. It was already eleven, and he hurriedly said: "Grandma, my grandson also has this plan. Although he is not very sure, he also wants to gain experience."

Gu Xiuyuan and Gu Xiuhong are both brothers. As a younger brother, Gu Xiuming would not be ashamed even if he did not participate. But when he saw both brothers participating, he was stunned for a moment. After Gu Xiuyuan finished speaking, he was not willing to be left behind and followed: "Grandma, My grandson also plans to give it a try, just to gain experience."

Mrs. Gu was a little surprised to see all three of their brothers participating, and said in a kind tone: "Since you all have this idea, then go and give it a try, but you are still young and there will be plenty of opportunities in the future. Don't put too much pressure on yourself. , treat it with a normal mind, just treat it as a normal test in the academy."

The three brothers responded in unison: "Yes, grandma."

All three of their brothers are going to participate in this year's Autumn Festival, and the three mothers also have different thoughts.

Zhang's psychological pressure is quite great, even more than that of Gu Xiuyuan. She is at odds with Chen. If Chen's son is on the list but her son fails, wouldn't he be ridiculed by Chen?

Mrs. Chen didn’t think too much this time. She just thought that if her son could win the election, he would be willing to marry. Then she could find a good girl for him, get married next year, and have a fat grandson the year after that, and live a happy life. The days of entertaining grandchildren.

Meng Jinyao was a little curious about the results. Gu Jingxi was very knowledgeable, and Gu Xiuming was highly praised in the past. Recently, he was so motivated that he often asked Gu Jingxi for advice. With Gu Jingxi's teachings, he didn't know if he could be on the list.

After leaving Shouantang, Ms. Zhang, who had always been indulgent and doting towards her children, uncharacteristically acted like a strict mother, urging her son to study hard and strive to be on the list.

However, without Zhang's urging, Gu Xiuyuan had already made up his mind and must study hard before the exam. Otherwise, if his two younger brothers won the exam and he lost his name, where would his reputation as the elder brother go? After casually dealing with his mother for a few words, he went back to his study to study hard.

Not to be outdone, Gu Xiuming hurried back to Qingyuxuan to read. As long as he could be on the list this autumn, his father and grandmother would value him more, and his position as the heir apparent would be stable.

Gu Xiuhong looked at the two of them hurriedly leaving, thoughtfully, and then returned to his yard.

The people in the three houses went back to their own courtyards. Meng Jinyao looked at them with different thoughts and glanced at the direction Gu Xiuming left, thoughtfully.

Gu Jingxi walked beside her and saw her frowning in deep thought, and asked softly: "What is Madam thinking about?"

Meng Jinyao's eyebrows stretched and she responded with a smile: "I'm wondering which of the three brothers will win, and which one has a greater chance of winning."

Gu Jingxi then asked: "Which one of them do you think has a greater chance of winning?"

Meng Jinyao stopped, looked sideways at him, and asked with a smile: "Husband, do you want to hear the truth or a lie?"

Gu Jingxi raised his eyebrows: "Of course I want to hear the truth."

"I think Xiuhong from the second sister-in-law's family has the highest chance of winning the election." Meng Jinyao answered without thinking and with a firm tone, seeming to have great confidence in Gu Xiuhong.

Gu Jingxi glanced at her in surprise, and then asked, "Why do you see it?"

Meng Jinyao said slowly: "I actually don't know much about Xiu Hong. I heard from my second sister-in-law that Xiu Hong often forgets to eat and sleep because of studying. If he is so diligent and studious, he will definitely win the exam."

As for Gu Xiuming, with Gu Jingxi's guidance, it was probably possible, but she didn't like Gu Xiuming and was prejudiced against him, so the balance in her heart was tilted towards Gu Xiuhong.

Of course, she didn't say this.

After hearing her words, Gu Jingxi said softly, "Yeah."

Meng Jinyao raised her eyes, looked at him, and asked curiously: "What do you think, husband? Among the three brothers, which one has a greater chance of winning?"

Gu Jingxi replied quietly: "I also think Xiu Hong has the best chance of passing the exam. Xiu Hong's homework is the best among the four brothers. He has been studying hard, so he is expected to win the exam this time."

Meng Jinyao was surprised. She didn't expect that he would give such a high evaluation to Gu Xiuhong. She suddenly wondered what Gu Xiuming thought of him and asked curiously: "How big is our family?"

Gu Jingxi replied: "Not as good as Xiu Hong."

Meng Jinyao was stunned, thinking that he said this because he was disappointed with Gu Xiuming because he had done so many bad things. After all, he had expectations for Gu Xiuming before, and he had heard more than once that Gu Xiuming was good at learning, so he Asked: "What about before?" She said and then added, "I mean before he escaped from the marriage."

Hearing this, Gu Jingxi's expression paused. He understood what the little girl meant and still said, "Not as good as Xiu Hong."

Meng Jinyao was stunned after hearing this, and said in surprise: "The most common thing I hear about is how good the knowledge of Prince Changxing is. The other three people don't hear much about it. Isn't it Gu Xiuming who has the best knowledge?"

Gu Jingxi gave her an unclear look and replied in a calm tone: "That's because his father is me."
