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

Xiaoliu shook his head hurriedly, glanced at Meng Jinyao and Gu Jingxi anxiously, and replied: "Madam, I looked carefully three times and didn't see the name of the prince. I only saw the eldest son and the prince." The second young master’s name.”

Meng Jinyao was stunned, and after a moment she pretended to hesitate and said, "How about you go and see it again? The Marquis clearly said in the morning that Xiu Ming has a chance to win, how could he not win?"

Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Chen looked at each other silently, and they knew that she definitely didn't like this son. Even though this son had been very filial recently, how could the shame of the past be really wiped away?

Gu Xiuming escaped from marriage that day and almost ruined her life. The whole capital was laughing at her. If she had been weaker, she would have committed suicide because of the rumors. Now that she had the opportunity to humiliate Gu Xiuming, Meng Jinyao would definitely not let it go.

Mrs. Zhang is still thinking that her third wife might adopt her youngest son, so she naturally doesn't want Gu Xiuming to be successful. Now that Gu Xiuming has failed, it plays into her own hands.

She immediately stood on the same front as Meng Jinyao and sang along with him: "Three younger siblings are all mothers. I can understand your feelings, but Xiaoliu has seen it three times, so he shouldn't have missed it. Xiu Ming is only sixteen If you take the exam again three years later, you will only be eighteen years old."

Mrs. Chen also echoed: "Yes, third brother and sister, Xiu Ming is still young, younger than Xiu Yuan and Xiu Hong."

Mrs. Gu has always been satisfied with her daughter-in-law. She didn't think much about it at the moment. She just thought that her daughter-in-law was hoping for a successful son. After all, they only had an adopted son. It was normal for the couple to have high expectations for this son, especially Seeing that both Xiuyuan and Xiuhong had passed the exam, the couple felt a gap in their hearts, so they comforted them with a few words: "Third daughter-in-law, you and your wife should also calm down. The child is only sixteen years old, and there will be many opportunities in the future."

Gu Xiuming was still immersed in his own sorrow and couldn't extricate himself. Today's blow was no less than that of being punished in the ancestral hall for escaping from marriage. Now listening to their words, he always felt that there was a strong sense of ridicule, and those who seemed to be regretful were actually gloating. The look in his eyes made him feel ashamed.

It was obvious that he was the one who failed, but the one who was comforted was Meng Jinyao, which made him feel even more resentful. After all, he was not his father's biological son. These people didn't take him seriously. They only supported him when he was outstanding. He is nothing when he is not as good as his brothers.

He should have understood a long time ago that a family like the Gu family only valued interests. Even if he had been adopted for nearly eleven years, the friendship for so many years was not as good as the interests. Gu Xiuyuan and Gu Xiuhong were selected to win glory for the Hou Mansion. He, the eldest son, had to stand aside. After talking for so long, he didn't even bother to say a word to comfort him with pretentious feelings.

Here, Gu Xiuming was complaining in his heart, but Meng Jinyao seemed to have the ability to read minds and quickly gave Gu Xiuming false comfort.

She showed regret on her face and sighed softly: "You are right, Xiu Ming is only sixteen, I am a little impatient."

As she spoke, she turned her gaze to Gu Xiuming. She saw that Gu Xiuming was clearly feeling uncomfortable and angry. The silence in his eyes could not be concealed, but he still managed to maintain a calm and calm appearance, and was not afraid of holding back his internal injuries.

The corners of her mouth curled up imperceptibly, and she said comfortingly: "Xiu Ming, don't be sad. Work hard and accumulate. If you take the exam again in three years, you will definitely pass."

Gu Xiuming forced a smile and replied warmly: "Don't worry, mother, my son is not sad. This autumn, my son is just thinking about accumulating experience. It is an unexpected joy to win the exam, and he is not sad if he fails to win." He glanced at his parents, lowered his head sadly, and said guiltily, "However, I still let my mother and father down, and my son feels deeply guilty."

Meng Jinyao smiled kindly, spoke in a gentle tone, and said calmly: "Son, don't think too much. You were already selected as a scholar when you were fifteen years old. Your father and I are already very pleased. You have to know that other people's sons At the age of ten, I haven’t passed the examination to become a scholar.”

As she spoke, her tone became gentler: "This time, there were 11,250 candidates in Shuntian Mansion's Qiu Wei Examination, and only 126 students passed the exam. They were only one in a hundred. Competition So old, and you are young and inexperienced, it is normal to lose to those experienced old candidates. You have accumulated experience this time, and you are just preparing for next time."

What does it mean to say the most heart-wrenching words in the gentlest tone?

Meng Jinyao is like this.

Gu Xiuming was already feeling uncomfortable. Just as he recovered a little, Meng Jinyao stabbed his wound hard again. He was originally full of confidence that he would win, but reality gave him a blow. Now Meng Jinyao came to remind him that he was the best in a hundred, and he was even more It feels bad.

A good one.

The three brothers went to participate in Qiuwei and selected his eldest brother and second brother, but he was not selected. It would be better if one of the three was selected, at least there was someone to accompany him to fail. Now, two of the three brothers were selected, but only he was selected. He failed.

It doesn't matter that the second brother passed the exam. His father praised him for his academic performance. But among the brothers, except for the fourth brother who doesn't like to study, the more mediocre eldest brother actually passed the exam. This made him lose face. ?

However, no matter how much he was unwilling to do so, he would still smile and respond in front of his family: "That's what mother said."

Gu Jingxi glanced at his son. He knew that Xiu Ming was aggrieved when he saw that his two brothers had passed the exam but he had failed. However, the little bad guy next to him refused to let Xiuming go. When he saw that it was almost done, he helped his son out and bypassed him. This topic enters the next stage: "Mother, didn't you say you want to open an ancestral hall and tell the ancestors the good news?"

Mrs. Gu also thought of this matter. In fact, no matter which of the three of them wins the election today, they will open an ancestral hall. Now that the two grandsons have won the election, they will definitely open an ancestral hall to offer incense to their ancestors and inform their ancestors of the happy event. She immediately said: "Boss , you are the eldest brother, I will leave this matter to you."

She did not show favoritism to anyone, and directly gave the eldest son to the concubine, with the elders and younger ones in order, so that the second son would not feel uncomfortable. Although the third son was the legitimate son, none of her own children were successful, so it was no problem if he was not in charge. It would be more motivating to let a father who has a child win the lottery take care of it, because after all, there is that excitement.

In this way, Gu Jingsheng opened the ancestral hall and prepared to pay homage to his ancestors. The Zhang family organized the family banquet. It was all organized by the eldest brother and sister-in-law. Naturally, the second and third bedrooms did not have any objections.

When the whole family went to the ancestral hall to offer incense, Gu Xiuming was the only one who was forcing a smile but did not dare to show any dissatisfaction. If his face fell, others would think that he was jealous of his brother and was not good to him.

After worshiping their ancestors, everyone left the ancestral hall.

Mrs. Gu said warmly: "Xiu Ming, grandma believes that you will definitely win the exam in three years."

Gu Xiuming responded with a smile: "My grandson will definitely work hard and learn from his two brothers."

Mrs. Gu felt relieved when she saw that he was smiling, as if nothing had happened. With this kind of character, she could continue to work hard. Why worry about not passing the exam in three years?
