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

At night, the moonlight was bright, sprinkling silver light all over the ground.

It was nearly midnight, the family banquet was over, and everyone returned to their respective yards.

After saying goodbye to the people in the first and second rooms, Gu Jingxi took the initiative to hold Meng Jinyao's hand and walked slowly back to the yard. Two shadows fell on the ground.

On the way, the couple were talking about Gu Xiuhong's success in the college examination. Gu Jingxi suddenly mentioned his brother-in-law Meng Chengzhang: "Ayao, I remember you said earlier that Chengzhang would participate in this year's college examination."

Meng Jinyao nodded slightly and said slowly: "Yes, not only Chengzhang will participate, but I heard that my third brother Chengxing will also participate. He originally didn't want to participate, but was encouraged by my second sister to participate. He was pushed to the top. My second sister is afraid that Chengzhang will be admitted as a scholar, and my father will pay attention to Chengzhang who has already achieved fame, and will neglect him, which will lead to a difficult situation for them in the future, so they are trying to win over my father's heart."

Gu Jingxi affirmed: "Chengzhang has a solid foundation and good knowledge. He can get into Lingshan Academy. This year's academy examination is not difficult for him. If there are no accidents, there will be no problem in passing the examination."

Meng Jinyao smiled. She also had great confidence in her younger brother. Fortunately, she still had some sense last year and did not touch her father. Otherwise, she would have to keep her filial piety and delay her younger brother's future. And the title fell to Meng Chengxing, leaving Meng Chengxing alone. She was not willing to accept the inexperienced and useless boy as the new head of the Meng family. It was still necessary for her father to live first.

After a moment, Meng Jinyao said: "By the way, I heard from Chengzhang that Xiuwen will also take the college examination this year. You said before that Xiuwen is smart and has a very flexible mind. After he went to Lingshan Academy, he was influenced by the surrounding learning atmosphere and was completely transformed. , get rid of your laziness, study hard, and make rapid progress. I guess it won’t be difficult to become a scholar this year.”

Gu Jingxi smiled happily: "Xiu Wen should have a chance to be a scholar. The younger generation is sensible and promising, and mother does not have to worry about the decline of the Gu family. Before her father died, she told her to be optimistic about the Gu family. She was also under great pressure."

Hearing this, Meng Jinyao thought of her miserable mother's family, which was also an old family. The Yongchang House was once as famous as the Changxing Marquis House, but now the two families are completely different. The Yongchang House has been slowly declining in the past few decades.

The great-grandfather committed an offense that angered the late emperor and was demoted. The ancestor of the Meng family was appointed as the commander of the Yongchang Guards. He suppressed the Liangzhou rebels and repelled foreign enemies. He made great contributions and was granted the title of Marquis of Yongchang. The late emperor probably thought that he was a former member of the Meng family. Because of his meritorious service to the court, he was not deprived of his title, but demoted Yongchang Marquis to Yongchang Bo.

After this incident, the Meng family's vitality was severely damaged. Fortunately, her grandfather kept his spirits up and the Yongchang Mansion got better. It's a pity that her grandfather died early, and her father, a useless mediocrity, became the head of the family. Her father had no talent and could only write two sour and arty poems. It was already good to be able to work as a sinner and eat into the ancestral wealth.

The Meng family is also accelerating its decline. The once famous family is now almost empty. Whether the Meng family can stand up again depends on her second brother Chengzhang. It is impossible to rely on Meng Chengxing. Meng Chengxing is no different from her father. He is a mediocre person with no ability, and he is not a good person.

Gu Jingxi saw her frowning and thinking deeply, so he asked, "Ayao, what are you thinking about?"

Meng Jinyao sighed softly: "I'm thinking that the Meng family will rely on the second brother in the future. He is still young and not the heir apparent. Perhaps he hasn't realized that the burden of getting the Meng family back on its feet has already fallen on him invisibly. My third brother is of no use to the only qualified male, and he will be like an Amitabha if he doesn't cause trouble and bring trouble to the family."

Gu Jingxi said warmly: "As a child of an aristocratic family, whether you are born when the family is in decline or when it is prosperous, you have burdens on your shoulders, but the burdens you carry are different. Chengzhang knows how to study hard and pass the imperial examination to enter the court. Then It proves that he is already aware of this." He paused and then said, "In fact, after the separation of the family in the future, Chengzhang will not be affected if the separate houses are separated."

Meng Jinyao replied: "My great-grandfather committed a crime back then and was almost deprived of his title. He was demoted because of the kindness of the late emperor. My grandfather also tried his best to revive the Meng family. It's a pity that his years of hard work were ruined by his father. Now, just go back to your original shape."

She turned her head to look at Gu Jingxi, lowered her voice to a volume that only two people could hear, and continued: "The inheritance laid by our ancestors cannot be squandered. Since the head of the family is not good, then find an opportunity to change the head of the family."

Gu Jingxi paused slightly. Seeing his young wife's solemn and imperative expression, he gently squeezed her little hand to comfort her, and said warmly: "Ayao, don't worry, now is not the time. If you can't bear it, then Chaos plan."

Meng Jinyao relaxed: "I know that I won't touch him for the next ten or eight years."

After a moment, Meng Jinyao changed the subject: "Husband, I have been taking medicine for several months, and I have also taken medicinal baths according to the instructions. I obviously feel much better. Why don't you find a time for Dr. Wen to come over and take my pulse? Let's see what else is needed. How long should I take the medicine for?"

Gu Jingxi nodded: "Okay, let Dr. Wen take a pulse first."

-

The next day.

As soon as Gu Jingxi's shift was over, he went to the Imperial Hospital and asked Doctor Wen to come over. The result was naturally good. After taking the medicine for a few months and taking medicinal baths, Meng Jinyao's cold symptoms were much better, and the problem of insufficient qi and blood was basically cured.

Dr. Wen revised the prescription, and if he continued to take the medicine for a month, the disease would be cured. In addition, the medicated bath for treating cold syndrome would need to be continued.

Meng Jinyao was very happy after hearing what the imperial doctor said. She took medicine every day, whether it was made into pills or boiled into a decoction. Medicine, that’s good news. As for medicated baths, taking medicated baths is like taking a bath. She doesn't object to it. She is used to it now.

Gu Jingxi said warmly: "Ayao, I'm going to send Doctor Wen off."

Meng Jinyao nodded in response, then turned to Imperial Physician Wen and said, "Imperial Physician Lao Wen is here for a visit today, Imperial Physician Wen will go slowly."

After leaving the courtyard, Dr. Wen couldn't help but asked: "Master Marquis, how are you feeling recently?"

Gu Jingxi frowned and asked, "Mr. Wen, is there something wrong with your medicine?"

"Master Hou, why did you say this?" Doctor Wen looked stunned, thinking that he was going to say that he was a quack doctor again, so he immediately defended himself, "Master Marquis, this prescription has cured other people's diseases. You need to insist on taking the medicine, the official is constantly revising the prescription, and the medicine you are taking now is better than that of the previous patients."

Gu Jingxi frowned even more: "I think it's because you, a quack doctor, changed the prescription that there's a problem."

Dr. Wen was unconvinced: "Then Lord Marquis, tell me what's the problem?"

Gu Jingxi glanced at him and said calmly: "I took this prescription and didn't think there was any problem before. But as time went by, its side effects came. I already felt hot even before it got hot. I felt hot more easily than normal people. I feel unwell all over, and I even had nosebleeds two days ago. I usually eat a light diet, so it must not be a problem with my diet, it can only be a problem with your medicine."
