In the afternoon, Gu Jingxi returned from work and brought Meng Jinyao her favorite snacks, which were all the preserved fruits that the little girl loved.

Recently, Gu Jingxi has been buying things for her more often, and he has learned a little bit about some of the food and clothing items that the girl's family would like. Basically, what he buys is what Meng Jinyao will like.

Gu Jingxi had just returned to the yard and before entering the house, he saw Meng Jinyao standing at the door. The little girl was wearing a skirt embroidered with peonies with red gold thread and a jasper gold walking stick on her head. She had a smile like a flower and stood there quietly and delicately. It’s a joy to look at.

The clothes, jewelry, rouge and lipstick the little girl wore were all bought by him, and the little flesh on her face was also cultivated by him.

Seeing the little girl being raised so well, he felt a sense of accomplishment.

In the past, the money in his hands was just accumulated, with no other special use. He himself was not the kind of person who liked to spend money. Apart from daily entertainment between friends, he had no other expenses. Now he has to raise a little girl. It finally worked.

Gu Jingxi walked towards her and handed her the snacks he had just bought: "Madam, here it is."

Meng Jinyao was also used to him feeding her from time to time. She stretched out her hand to take the snacks he handed over with a smile, and said crisply: "Thank you, husband."

Gu Jingxi said warmly: "Today's preserved yellow peach is a new product from the store. I heard the store said it is made with milk and has a milky flavor. Madam, try it and see if you like it."

When Meng Jinyao heard this, she felt novel and immediately went into the house to try it. As soon as she opened the oil paper, she smelled a milky aroma. She picked up a piece and tasted it. The preserved yellow peach fruit was soft and waxy, orange in color, and soft and sweet in the mouth. It's glutinous, a little chewy, and has a strong milky aroma. The store handles the milk very well, and there's no smell of mutton.

She picked up a piece and handed it to Gu Jingxi's mouth: "Husband, try it too, it's quite delicious."

Thanks to Meng Jinyao, Gu Jingxi has been fed a lot of snacks that only girls would like recently. Whenever Meng Jinyao tastes something delicious, she never forgets to stuff it into his mouth.

Gu Jingxi opened his mouth cooperatively and ate the preserved fruit she put to his mouth. The preserved fruit was sweet and sour, soft and glutinous, and had a milky aroma.

Meng Jinyao raised her head and looked at him with a smile: "How does it taste?"

Gu Jingxi saw the little girl smiling brightly, and the corners of her mouth were also raised. She felt an indescribable joy in her heart, and nodded with a smile: "It's okay." But he didn't like to eat the little girl's favorite snacks, so when the little girl fed him again, He declined politely, "Madam, eat, don't worry about me, I don't have a strong appetite for food."

After Meng Jinyao heard this, she turned a corner and put the preserved fruit into her mouth.

Gu Jingxi added, "You can play by yourself, I'll go to the study and read for a while."

Meng Jinyao: "..."

She is not a child, what can she play with?

Chunliu glanced at Gu Jingxi's retreating back and said to Meng Jinyao: "The Marquis is really patient with his wife, just like coddling a child, holding her in his hand and coaxing him. He treats his two nieces, the eldest girl and the second girl. They are not so attentive. I heard that the Marquis never coaxed the eldest girl and the second girl when they were young, let alone now that they have grown up, the two girls see the Marquis like a mouse seeing a cat. "

Meng Jinyao was stunned: "He's not that scary, right?"

Chunliu replied: "Master Hou is usually indifferent to everyone. He seems to be not easy to talk to. He is also stern as an elder should be. He is only different towards my wife."

Hearing this, Meng Jinyao remembered the time when she first married Gu Jingxi. At that time, although Gu Jingxi could not be said to be difficult to get along with, he was indeed a bit cold, but it was also a well-educated coldness. He would answer any questions and be very reasonable, even if they were not familiar with each other. , but as long as she takes charge, Gu Jingxi will help her.

Chunliu raised her eyes to look at her master's pretty face, and thought to herself, no wonder the Marquis likes her. Even a girl would find her pleasing to the eye. She added, "I feel that Madam is the only exception for the Marquis."

The only exception?

Meng Jinyao was slightly startled. She didn't know how Gu Jingxi treated his ex-fiancée before, but for now, she would be satisfied if he only treated her like this for the rest of his life.

Seeing that she was silent, Chunliu stopped continuing the topic. He looked down at the preserved fruit that had been opened in oil paper and asked, "Madam, you won't be able to finish this preserved fruit in a while. I'll go and get a porcelain jar to put it in." stand up?"

Meng Jinyao nodded: "Go ahead, I'll eat two more pieces at most. If I eat more, I won't be able to eat anymore."

Not long after, Gu Xiuming came over to look for Gu Jingxi and asked him to mention something about tomorrow's Qiu Wei.

Although Gu Jingxi was dissatisfied with his behavior, when he asked, he didn't be perfunctory. He told him everything he needed to say, and even gave him a few words of encouragement.

Later, Gu Xiuming also asked for advice.

Gu Jingxi answered them all one by one, and even tested his knowledge. Seeing that he could basically answer the questions, he also explained some of the questions he couldn't.

Before Gu Xiuming left, thinking that he would pass the entrance exam tomorrow, he couldn't help but ask: "Father, do you think your son has a chance of passing the exam this time?"

Gu Jingxi replied ambiguously: "No matter what you say now, it is inaccurate. Everything is possible. Just treat it with a normal mind and do your best. Don't put too much pressure on yourself."

Not getting the answer he wanted, Gu Xiuming felt a little stuck, but he became more determined to win the exam. As long as he is on the list, the elders in his family will really change their view of him.

After a moment, he became a little uneasy again and asked, "Father, what if my son fails the exam?"

Gu Jingxi discussed the matter and replied quietly: "Xiu Ming, you are only sixteen years old. At this age, it is not shameful at all even if you fail the exam. Some people do not even pass the exam until they are in their twenties, let alone pass the exam. Now that you have the reputation of being a scholar, you are already better than many scholars. Even if you fail to pass the exam, you will still be nineteen years old if you take the exam again in three years."

After hearing this, Gu Xiuming felt better and replied, "My son knows."

Gu Jingxi said softly: "Okay, go back and prepare the things you will bring into the examination room tomorrow. If you have prepared them, check if there are any omissions. Have a good sleep tonight and pass the exam tomorrow morning."

Gu Xiuming nodded: "Yes, father."

After saying this, Gu Xiuming bowed his hands and left.

Meng Jinyao saw that Gu Xiuming had left, so she went to the study. She took a look in and saw the man inside looking towards her, so she stepped in and asked, "Husband, what is our big boy doing here?"

Gu Jingxi replied: "Asking about Qiu Wei and some academic matters."

Meng Jinyao was not interested. She said "Oh" and did not ask any more questions. Instead, she said, "Husband, do you have anything else to be busy with? If not, let's have dinner first."

Gu Jingxi shook his head: "Nothing else."
