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

"Husband, what's wrong?"

Meng Jinyao looked at him with innocent eyes and a blank expression.

Gu Jingxi's tone became more and more resentful: "Now that you have married me and become his elder, you are the only one who bullied him and got the situation back. Don't you have other ideas?"

After hearing this, Meng Jinyao understood immediately and couldn't help but laugh out loud, with a smile in her voice: "My husband is good-looking, and it is pleasing to the eye just to look at it. I like it very much."

"You only like my face?"

Gu Jingxi touched his face subconsciously, feeling a little disappointed. No matter how good his appearance was, there would be times when his appearance would fade with age. He was almost thirty years old, how long could he keep this appearance? In ten or eight years, wrinkles will probably appear on his face.

Meng Jinyao answered truthfully: "Yes at the beginning, if my husband was ugly, I would probably choose Xiuhong, who is one year older than me. Xiuwen is one year younger than me, and I don't want to marry a younger brother."

As she spoke, she noticed that the man's eyes were becoming more and more resentful. She frowned slightly and quickly changed the subject: "In general, it starts with appearance, talent, and loyalty to character. I have been to the study and read my husband's manuscripts. , there are many poems and articles, and he is indeed as talented and literary as the rumors say, and my husband is also good at painting."

Hearing this, Gu Jingxi had a smile on his face and said warmly: "Wei Ruixuan's study? Most of those are works from his youth. Later, when I was busy with official work, I didn't bother with them much."

Meng Jinyao replied: "You can see that some of the paper has turned yellow, and it looks like it has been there for a while."

In addition to the age of the paper, she also saw that there was a sense of melancholy in the writing. It should be that he felt uncomfortable after being injured and could not show it in front of others, so he could only express it through words, although he did not write about it directly. , but expresses emotion through describing scenes.

How could such an excellent and proud person not feel uncomfortable when he has a disease that damages a man's self-esteem, is abandoned by his fiancée, and is ridiculed by others?

However, in some of the subsequent poems, the depression has faded away, and in the end, I really let it go and no longer cared about it. There is a broad sense between the lines.

Gu Jingxi glanced at her, suddenly thought of something, and asked hesitantly: "Have you read all those articles and poems?"

Meng Jinyao said frankly: "I had nothing to do at the time, so I finished watching it."

Gu Jingxi was silent, and a look of uneasiness flashed across his face. Not even his mother knew what those young men were thinking, but his wife saw them all, and his mood instantly became subtle. When I was young, I was still a little nervous. Later, as I grew older, I came into contact with more cases, and saw more of the harsh world, I realized that it was not a problem, so I naturally looked away from it.

Meng Jinyao added: "In addition, I also saw my husband's paintings. My husband is a good painter."

Those paintings are basically landscape paintings. One of them is quite special. It was signed twelve years ago. It depicts a little girl about four or five years old, wearing a pink skirt and two little knotties tied on her head. The child, with only his back, is chasing butterflies, looking lively and cute.

She thought at that time that Gu Jingxi must like his daughter, otherwise why would he only draw girls and not boys? As for not drawing the little girl’s face, it’s probably because I knew I wouldn’t have a child, so I didn’t draw it.

Gu Jingxi asked softly: "Ayao likes me like this?"

Meng Jinyao said frankly: "My husband is so talented, it's hard not to like him."

Gu Jingxi felt a sense of sadness in her heart and whispered softly: "Silly girl."

Meng Jinyao glanced at him and said disapprovingly: "You are stupid. You are a talented man and I am a beauty. I think we are a good match. Doesn't your husband like me like this?"

Gu Jingxi pursed her lips and smiled: "I like it."

"That's right." Meng Jinyao said, but couldn't help but yawn, and then said, "Husband, I'm sleepy, let's go to bed first, and we can talk about anything tomorrow."

Gu Jingxi responded with a smile: "Okay, go to sleep."

-

Qingyuxuan.

In that compartment, Gu Xiuming returned to Qingyu Pavilion.

Although Li Waner was not qualified to attend the family banquet and was not discharged from the hospital today, she also heard the results after the results were released. The Changxing Marquis Mansion was in good hands this time.

Three young masters from the Hou family participated in the Qiu Wei examination, and two of them passed the exam, the eldest and the second young master, but the one who failed was her brother Xiu Ming. This result made her unbelievable.

When she saw the young man entering the house with a dejected expression, Li Waner waved her hand and sent the maid out. Smelling the smell of alcohol on his body, she asked softly: "Brother Xiu Ming, there is a family dinner today. I guess you will drink." , I asked someone to prepare hangover soup in advance, would you like a bowl?"

Seeing how gentle and considerate she was, Gu Xiuming finally felt somewhat comforted. He shook his head gently: "No need, I didn't drink much."

He reached out to hold Li Waner's hand and smiled bitterly: "Wan'er, have you heard about it?"

Li Waner nodded slightly: "I've heard about it all."

Gu Xiuming asked again: "I didn't win, but my two brothers did. Do you also think that I am worthless and useless, not as good as my two brothers?"

"Brother Xiu Ming, how can you think like this? In Wan'er's heart, you are the best."

Li Waner spoke softly and continued to understand: "Brother Xiu Ming, you are smart and quick, that's why you are no worse than them. Have you forgotten that outsiders used to say that you were the most learned among the four young masters in the Hou family? It's just that you are better than them. They are all younger, and their study time is shorter than them. They are just better in age and time. If you take the exam again in three years, you will definitely win."

Gu Xiuming shook his head: "No, it's not because of age."

As he spoke, he held Li Waner's hand tightly, his face tightened, and his eyes burst out with deep reluctance.

Li Waner's hand was so painful from his grip that she frowned and said, "It hurts."

Only then did Gu Xiuming react and quickly let go of her hand. He saw that the back of her fair hand was red, and he felt guilty: "Wan'er, I'm sorry."

"It doesn't matter." Li Waner hurriedly shook her head and asked curiously, "Brother Xiu Ming, you just said you were not defeated by your age. Could it be that someone was secretly doing something to prevent you from winning the exam?"

Gu Xiuming's face darkened: "That's it."

Li Wan'er's heart skipped a beat, she was shocked and frightened. She knew that the officialdom was dark, but she didn't know how dark it was. Brother Xiu Ming was the heir apparent of the Hou family, and he had the Marquis as his backer. How could the examiner tamper with the exam papers? Could it be that the Hou Ye’s political opponents couldn’t stand it and deliberately caused mischief?

She asked nonchalantly: "Then the Marquis doesn't care?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Xiuming's face became more and more gloomy. He bit his teeth, lowered his voice, and said bitterly: "He did this, so what does he care? He wishes I was useless so that I could make room for others."
