The scumbag ran away from marriage, I remarried on the spot

As soon as he finished speaking, Meng Jinyao felt like she was in a state of enlightenment.

Also, Gu Xiuming is the eldest son of the Hou family, and his status is higher than that of the other three brothers. Moreover, the other three brothers are the children of concubines. In addition, the royal family of Changxing Hou is strong, so the eldest son will definitely be highly sought after. Even if he is only three points good, He will also be praised by others as being very good.

But, as Gu Jingxi's son, is Gu Xiuming's knowledge that bad?

She asked hesitantly: "We are such a big boy, but he is not very educated?"

Gu Jingxi smiled and shook his head slightly: "It's not impossible, it's just not as good as Xiuhong. This is an indisputable fact. Xiuhong is more talented and diligent in learning and thinking. He is the best among the four brothers in learning. Xiu Ming is not outstanding. Talent, if you want to be excellent, you have to stabilize your mentality and work hard to make up for your shortcomings."

Meng Jinyao nodded clearly. Before Gu Xiuming was disappointed, Gu Jingxi had expectations for him. Since he had expectations for him, he should also be a hard-working person. However, he was punished one after another after escaping from marriage, and his unstable mentality was exposed. This made Gu Jingxi disappointed.

After a while, Meng Jinyao asked again: "Husband, do you think he can win the imperial examination this year?"

Gu Jingxi was silent for a moment and said quietly: "Without a correct mentality, impetuous mind, and eagerness for success, it will be difficult to succeed in anything."

Meng Jinyao was stunned. The implication was that she was not optimistic about Gu Xiuming's autumn this year.

Qingqiu and Ningdong, who were following them, listened to all the conversation between their husband and wife. Their hearts were filled with turmoil and shock. The Marquis knew everything in his heart and could see it thoroughly. Only the Prince was smart and thought he had done a great job. Well, in fact, the Marquis and his wife have already seen through this.

-

In the afternoon, just after noon.

Gu Xiuming went to the front yard study with a book in hand to look for Gu Jingxi and ask for advice from Gu Jingxi.

Gu Jingxi was just getting ready to handle official business when he saw him coming. He knew why he was here without asking. Before he spoke, he asked him: "Xiu Ming, are you really going to participate in this year's Autumn Festival?"

Gu Xiuming was slightly startled. When he saw his father's expression was dull and showed no emotion, he gave up speculation and replied: "Yes, father, my son wants to accumulate some experience."

Gu Jingxi looked at Gu Xiuming with indifferent eyes. After these days, he had a deeper understanding of his son. He was used to being proud and could not bear setbacks.

This time, I participated for the sake of face after seeing my brother participating, and I was also confident that I would win. If my brother wins, and Xiu Ming loses his name, there will be a strong contrast, and my mind will probably be even more distorted.

He didn't want to take care of it at first, but he was a son after all, so he couldn't raise him without teaching him. He persuaded him in a low voice: "Xiu Ming, if you are only participating because your two elder brothers are participating, then there is no need. You are still young and you are still knowledgeable. It’s not solid enough. Although you can accumulate experience by participating now, too many failures will affect your mentality, so it’s better to wait and gain.”

It was obviously a good intention, but it was not the case in Gu Xiuming's ears. He felt that his father just looked down on him, had no confidence in him, and felt that he would definitely fail.

Gu Xiuming's hand holding the scroll slowly tightened, and there was a hint of evil in his eyes. Since everyone looked down on him, he would work harder to win the imperial examination. When he attends the Spring Festival at the beginning of the next year, he will be a Jinshi and use his strength to slap his father in the face.

Therefore, he replied: "Father, my son actually doesn't have any expectations for this year's autumn, so even if he loses the title, there is nothing to be disappointed about. He is just accumulating some experience."

After hearing this, Gu Jingxi looked at him intently for a long time, then stopped trying to persuade him and nodded: "Since you have made up your mind, then go ahead and participate."

Gu Xiuming responded, and then asked him for advice.

However, Gu Jingxi did not explain it to him as before, and said seriously: "Cultivating knowledge, haste makes waste. If you don't fully understand what you have learned and then ponder other knowledge, you will end up not learning anything well." . I only expressed my opinions on the questions you asked me before. Did you think about it yourself after you went back? You first go back and think carefully about the questions I explained to you before, and then ask other questions."

Gu Xiuming was stunned, his face stiffened, and he felt a sense of crisis, more resentment and unwillingness. She was obviously willing to teach him before, but now she is not willing to teach him because he has to attend Qiuwei, and she even uses some excuses to frustrate him. Could it be that she really wants to raise him to death, and then adopt Gu Xiuwen as his heir apparent?

After a few breaths, he felt ashamed and said: "Father, my son is stupid and has not yet figured out his own opinions."

Gu Jingxi looked at Gu Xiuming with unknown meaning, seeing all the unwillingness and resentment in his eyes, and frowned slightly, feeling that this son was really a rotten tree that cannot be carved, and he did not give him any face, so he directly exposed him, Shen Shen The sound admonished: "Xiu Ming, as a father, I am not yet at the stage of being an old fool. Reading is for yourself, not for others to see. If you have distracting thoughts in your heart, and if your mind is occupied by distracting thoughts, it will be difficult for you to think independently, and you will not be able to do anything." I can’t learn.”

Hearing this, Gu Xiuming's heart tightened and his heart pounded. His little thoughts were mercilessly exposed, as if the fig leaf on his body was torn off. In an instant, he was embarrassed and angry. He lowered his eyes in panic to hide the emotions emerging in his eyes. He defended himself with fear: "Father, you misunderstood. My son has just fallen behind in too much homework recently, so he has come to you for advice several times. It is not to show anyone, but also to ask father for advice."

Gu Jingxi looked at him for a moment, until he looked nervous, and when he could no longer maintain his calm appearance, he spoke to him unhurriedly about the question he had just asked, to explain to him, and finally said: : "When you go back and think about what I just said, you can come up with your own unique insights. Only then can you really learn it. When you really understand those questions, you can ask me other questions."

Gu Xiuming tried his best to maintain a calm surface and replied respectfully: "My son thanked his father for clarifying his doubts and went back to settle down and think about it."

Gu Jingxi nodded and said softly: "Well, you can go back now. My father has other things to do."

"Okay, my son won't disturb his father anymore."

Gu Xiuming said goodbye. After leaving the study, his face turned completely gloomy. He turned to look at the closed study door. He held the book in his hand and squeezed it tightly. His knuckles turned white and veins popped up on the back of his hand, filled with resentment. Reluctance filled his thoughts, he took a deep breath, calmed down, and then hurried back to Qingyu Pavilion.

In the study, Gu Jingxi's face didn't look very good either.

The son suddenly regretted that he did not fully believe it. Over the past few days, he could also see that his son was not really motivated and eager to learn. He was just doing it to show him and others, being too eager to show off and impetuous. will be revealed inadvertently.

This disappointed him, who had been a little relieved that his son might have truly repented. It was easy to change a person's nature, but his son just changed his way of doing things. He used to act recklessly and recklessly, but now he is working hard and studying hard.
