Two days later, the hospital will release the exam results.

Zhang sent someone to look at the list early in the morning to see if Xiu Wen was selected as a scholar.

Meng Jinyao was no exception. After breakfast, she sent her servant to look at the list to see if her second brother was on the list.

At nearly noon, the servant who was sent out came back to report the good news. Gu Xiuwen was selected as a scholar, and the whole family was happy. Xiuwen was the smartest and cleverest child among the grandchildren, but he was also the laziest. He could not bear the hardship of studying, so he went to Lingshan Academy for a class. After many years, it can be said that I have been completely transformed and am working hard to become stronger.

After studying hard for more than a year and forgetting to eat and sleep, I replenished my knowledge, and with my clever mind, I got twice the result with half the effort. I was selected as a scholar in the first college examination. If I studied hard since I was a child, I would have no problem getting into the top three.

In addition to Gu Xiuwen, Meng Chengzhang was also on the list and was the head of the case, which surprised Meng Jinyao as a sister.

However, the eldest son Meng Chengxing, also the son of Uncle Yongchang, was far behind. He failed the exam and did not even reach the last place. There was a huge difference from Meng Chengzhang who came first in the college exam.

One moment, Mrs. Zhang was smiling so hard that her eyes narrowed to slits. The next moment she heard that her sister-in-law's brother was the one responsible for the crime, her smile faded a bit. The second son of the Meng family was two years younger than her Xiuwen, but he was so young. Age is the culprit. Her son can't even reach the top ten. People are really comparing each other, and the more they compare, the more depressed they become.

Gu Xiuwen didn't think there was any problem. He was very happy to be selected as a scholar. After all, the teacher couldn't guarantee it. He only said that if he performed normally, he should be able to win. When he learned that Meng Chengzhang, who was close to him, was the leader of the case, he was even more excited. She was happy and said with a smile: "Third Aunt, I made a bet with my second uncle before. I said he would definitely be in the top three, but he thought it was impossible. Now that he has been the head of the case, I won."

He used to follow Gu Xiuming and call Meng Chengzhang his second uncle. Now that Gu Xiuming has been exiled and expelled from the clan, he still calls Meng Chengzhang his second uncle in front of others. He only calls each other by his name when they get along in private. There is no other reason than that he feels that If the third uncle and the third aunt adopt another child in the future, then that child will be his brother, and his brother's uncle will be his elder. It is correct to call him uncle after his brother.

Meng Jinyao smiled and asked, "Xiuwen, what's the bet between you and Chengzhang?"

Gu Xiuwen said truthfully: "I made a bet with my second uncle. If I win, he will wash my clothes for three days. If he wins, I will wash his clothes for three days."

Meng Jinyao smiled and nodded: "I see. When you return to the academy, you just ask your second uncle to wash your clothes and let him wash them for you for three days."

Gu Xiuming smiled and said: "With the words of the third aunt, even if the second uncle is an elder, I am not afraid anymore."

When Mrs. Zhang saw her youngest son acting like this, she suddenly felt that her son was a little heartless, calling her his second uncle so affectionately.

But then I thought about it, maybe Sanfang would consider letting Xiuwen adopt him in the future? After all, Xiu Wen is a child that his brother-in-law has watched grow up, and he knows everything. Xiu Ming will not be in the same situation. In this way, Second Young Master Meng will be a serious uncle in the future.

Even if he doesn't continue Xiu Wen, but Xiu Wen has a good relationship with the third sibling's younger brother, the third brother will definitely support the third sibling's younger brother in the future. If the third sibling's younger brother becomes successful, Xiu Wen will also benefit from it.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Zhang became happy again, feeling that her youngest son was smart and thought things through.

Being a scholar is also a happy event. According to the custom, the Gu family holds a family banquet, opens an ancestral hall to worship the ancestors, and informs the ancestors of the happy event, so that the spirits of the ancestors in heaven can feel at ease, and the descendants of the Gu family will have a bright future and will not let the Gu family fail.

Yongchang Bofu.

Mrs. Meng and Meng Dongyuan were eagerly waiting at home for the boy who was going to see the results to come back. As elders, the two children in the family were participating in the college examination. They were a little nervous.

As the parties concerned, Meng Chengzhang and Meng Chengxing were also nervous, but the reasons for their nervousness were different.

Meng Chengzhang wanted to work hard to become stronger and become the supporter of his eldest sister, because he always felt that even though his brother-in-law loved his eldest sister now, he could not predict what would happen in the future, so he still had to have his mother's family as a supporter. His mercenary father was He is unreliable, he must become stronger.

Meng Chengxing, on the other hand, wants to surpass his second brother. As long as he is selected as a scholar, his grandmother and father will value him the most. Even if he and his second brother are selected as scholars at the same time, he will be the most valued. But if he fails, the second brother will be selected as a scholar. It is very likely that grandmother and father will favor the second brother, and then he will fall out of favor.

When the boy who was sent out ran back with a happy face, Mrs. Meng and Meng Dongyuan knew there was good news, and the mother and son were happy.

Even Mrs. Dong has a smile on her face. No matter which scholar she is, her husband will be happy. When her husband is happy, he will be able to talk a lot. Otherwise, he will be sullen and unhappy and have to be coaxed by her. Previously, the stepdaughter and the Qin family When the girl made a fuss on the street, her husband was so angry that he had to be careful about what she said for the past two days. Fortunately, the engagement between the Xiao family and the Qin family was not broken, otherwise the husband would be even more angry.

Mrs. Meng asked: "Where did the prince win?"

When the boy heard this, he stopped talking: "This..."

Meng Dongyuan thought that his son was ranked low in the exam, so he said: "Let's talk, it doesn't matter even if he is ranked low. The prince is only thirteen years old, and he is already a very good scholar at the age of thirteen."

After hearing this, the young man glanced at the Crown Prince anxiously, then at the Second Young Master, and replied hesitantly: "Young general, I read the single list three times. The Crown Prince, he, he is not on the list."

Not on the list?

As soon as these words came out, Mrs. Meng and Meng Dongyuan were both stunned. They had never thought about this result. Even if their Chengxing rankings were not in the exam, they would not be on the list. Chengxing was full of confidence before the exam. Yes, after finishing the exam, I said my score was acceptable.

Soon, the mother and son comforted themselves that Chengxing was still young and would definitely be able to do it next time.

After Meng Chengxing heard this, he felt disappointed, but not too disturbed. He was only thirteen years old, so he would just take the exam again next time. As long as his second brother also failed, his status would not be threatened.

Seeing that his masters looked unhappy, the young man hesitated and said: "But, but the second young master, he, he is on the list."

Hearing this, Meng Chengxing suddenly looked at his second brother. The disappointment he felt just now magnified infinitely, attacking him like an overwhelming mountain, as if trying to swallow him up.

Mrs. Meng's and Meng Dongyuan's expressions instantly improved. Chengzhang was also their child, and Chengzhang's scholar was also a happy event.

However, Chengxing did not pass the scholar examination. Chengzhang, who is one year older than Chengxing, only studied for one more year. His ranking is probably not good, so he barely made it to the list. But the fourteen-year-old scholar is also very good. Yes, I can give them the face of Mr. Meng.

Seeing that her husband and mother-in-law were both smiling, Mrs. Dong also smiled and asked, "Where did the second young master get in the exam?"
