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

When the ranking list is released in autumn, some people are happy and some are sad.

The Changxing Marquis Mansion has once again become a topic of conversation among people after dinner. The reason is simply because the eldest son and second son of the Marquis Mansion were elected, while the much-anticipated eldest son failed.

The imperial examination system of this dynasty was several times more stringent than that of the previous dynasty. Out of more than 10,000 candidates, only 126 passed the examination. On average, only one out of 100 people passed the examination.

As for the two young masters in the Marquis of Changxing's residence who were successful in the imperial examination at the same time, many people were jealous. They were only seventeen or eighteen years old, but their own sons were in their prime years, and none of them who were several years older than them were successful. It was really Shameful. There are also some old scholars who have not passed the exam until they are in their forties. When they learn that they have passed the exam in their teens, they are once again deeply traumatized.

For this reason, many people have become active and have the idea of ​​​​marrying their daughters to Gu Xiuhong, and they are of high family status. A legitimate daughter from the direct line is more than enough to match Gu Xiuhong, a legitimate son of a concubine.

Mrs. Chen was very excited. If her son had a good father-in-law, his career would be much smoother in the future. However, Gu Xiuhong did not consider the matter of men and women for the time being. He only focused on reading the books of sages and strived to be a Jinshi at the beginning of next year. If he couldn't do it next year, then he would continue. Work hard and come back in three years.

Mrs. Chen had no choice but to decline her son. It was okay to marry him later. As long as her son studied hard and was promising in the future, he might have a better marriage.

Speaking of Gu Xiuming, who failed the exam, he was definitely the target of ridicule. There were many people gathered in the teahouse, chatting with each other.

"Didn't I say before that Prince Gu had the talent to be the top scholar? How come he didn't even pass the exam?"

"What kind of talent is the number one scholar? I think it's just to promote him for the sake of his father. It's good that his father was the young number one scholar back then, but it would be good if he can win the Jinshi."

"Let me tell you, what kind of bamboo shoots are there? Gu Shizi's biological father is not very good at studying, right?"

"His biological father, Sanjia, was born at the same time as Jinshi. There is no way he is better than Gu Shizi, who couldn't pass the exam. He was an official. He was the county magistrate in his hometown, and he was the magistrate of a prosperous place."

"real or fake?"

"I have relatives who work in the Changxing Marquis Mansion. I can still get some information about this."

"So, this Prince Gu is an embroidered pillow. The eldest daughter of Yongchang House is not willing to marry him and wants to marry his father. I think it's not just because he is running away from the marriage, but also because he is useless."

"I think so. If I choose, I will choose him and my father will not choose him."

"Hahaha... You can pull me down. You are a big man with a stubble on your face. Lord Gu will not look down on you."

"That's right, I heard that Lord Gu's wife is very beautiful, so you can go ahead."

……

By coincidence, Gu Xiuming, the person involved, happened to be present. Just as he was about to go up the stairs, he heard others talking about him. He knew clearly that these people had nothing good to say, but he still couldn't help but stop and listen to what they said. All listened.

Li Waner was by his side. Seeing that his face was also gloomy and frightening, his fists were clenched, and he looked like he was about to explode. She was also a little frightened, fearing that he would fight with the guests, so she hurriedly reached out and pulled his sleeves. , said softly: "Brother Xiu Ming, let's go up first, don't worry about those nonsense, what can they understand?"

For the sake of his reputation, Gu Xiuming endured it and went upstairs without saying a word, otherwise it would be reported tomorrow that the Crown Prince of Changxing could not accept the fact after failing the exam, so he went crazy in the teahouse and beat the people angrily.

Entering the private room on the second floor, Li Waner ordered some of Gu Xiuming's favorite snacks and a pot of tea.

The words of those people just now echoed in Gu Xiuming's mind. The disdainful tone and mocking words made him feel ashamed and embarrassed. Not only these people, but also the classmates in the academy who used to flatter him and whose family background was not as good as his were also there. They were mocking him behind his back. It was clear that they also failed, so what qualifications did they have to mock him who also failed?

He sneered softly: "More than 10,000 candidates have failed the exam, and I am just one of them. Why does it seem that I have committed some serious crime because I failed the exam."

Li Waner poured him a cup of tea and comforted him: "Brother Xiu Ming, we can't control what others say. I firmly believe that you will win the Qiu Wei exam in three years. You must not let them affect your mentality."

Gu Xiuming picked up the tea cup and drank it all in one gulp. A cup of tea failed to extinguish the anger in his heart, so he picked up the teapot and poured himself a cup.

Seeing this, Li Waner did not dare to continue this topic, for fear of irritating him, so she talked about another thing: "Brother Xiu Ming, the doctor just took my pulse and said that there is nothing wrong with my body. There was no movement before, so it was fate." Come on, now the doctor has prescribed a medicine to help you get pregnant. If I take this medicine, I might have good news next time."

As she spoke, she raised the corners of her lips with a gentle smile: "They say sour children and spicy girls. I heard that the eldest lady likes spicy food, so she probably has a daughter in her belly. Next year we will give birth to a son, who will be the first son of the Hou family's great-grandchildren. Ding, if the old lady holds her great-grandson in her arms, Aiwujiwu will like you more, and your position as the heir apparent will be more stable."

After hearing this, Gu Xiuming's expression softened. The next autumn visit would be in three years. For the time being, he could only place his hope on his child. It would be best if Wan'er would be pregnant this year and give birth to a son next year.

He said warmly: "Wan'er, this medicine will be used today."

Li Waner nodded meekly, without any objection, as long as her body was fine, and with the help of fertility drugs, I believe she would be pregnant soon.

Here, they are seeking medical advice to give birth to a son, working hard to create humans, and using children to stabilize their status.

In that compartment, Meng Jinyao was busy working with her two sisters-in-law and had no time to pay attention to the annoying traitor.

Xuan Ling is getting married on the sixth day of October, and now there is less than a month until the sixth day of October. Time is a little tight, and the three sisters-in-law are making preparations.

Mrs. Gu also spoke up, saying that although Xuan Ling was born as a concubine, there were only two girls in the Hou family, no matter which one was a treasure, the wedding could not be shabby, it was just this once in a lifetime, and she had to marry in a glorious manner, second only to Xuan Ling who was born by a legitimate daughter. Just as appropriate.

The guest list also refers to the list of guests when Xuan Yi got married. Meng Jinyao had time to write the invitations.

Mrs. Chen saw her writing an invitation and took a closer look. The small regular script in her hairpin hand was elegant, graceful and lively, and very charming. She praised her, "Third brother and sister, your calligraphy is really good."

Meng Jinyao said humbly: "Second sister-in-law is ridiculous. I only have good hands. When I was in the boudoir, I would practice calligraphy when I had nothing to do. I have become more familiar with it."

Mrs. Chen said disapprovingly: "The third brother and sister don't have to be humble. They don't have a certain ability to comprehend. Even if they practice often, they are strict. They don't have such spirituality."

As she spoke, she picked up one of the invitations that had been written and nodded lightly: "I originally thought about letting my servants write it, but when their words came to the distinguished guests, I couldn't handle them, so I planned to wait for the second master to come back after his break. It was written, but it seems that it is no longer needed now. The word "third brother and sister" is very good."

At this time, Mr. Zhang came in with a sullen face.

Meng Jinyao saw this and asked, "Sister-in-law, you don't look good. What's wrong?"
