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

Mrs. Meng and Meng Dongyuan both looked at the young man, waiting for his answer.

The boy looked at them with happy faces and replied in a brisk tone: "To my wife, the second young master is the head of this court examination."

When everyone heard this, they were stunned again, a little unbelievable. The fourteen-year-old scholar was still the head of the case. He was a very outstanding existence. It proved that he was quick in thinking and talented in reading. Now he is the head of the case. Wait two years later. In Qiu Wei, it is estimated that it is not difficult to win the imperial examination.

Meng Chengzhang was also in disbelief, and his heart was pounding. He had a premonition that he could be a scholar, but he didn't think he could get a good rank in the exam. Although he usually completed his homework well and the teacher was very satisfied, there was a world outside the world. Someone.

Meng Chengxing was hit hard just now, and now the boy's words have hit him hard. His mother has told him since he was a child that he is more challenging than his second brother in everything, and he is the legitimate son, so his grandmother and father value him the most. Depend on him.

But since his second brother passed the Lingshan Academy exam last year and he failed, he discovered the gap. But his mother said that maybe his eldest brother-in-law was helping behind the scenes, and he felt relieved again.

But now, the second brother is the leader of the case, and he is not listed on the list.

Meng Dongyuan slowly looked at Chengzhang. This was the first time he looked at this usually inconspicuous second son. Last year, his second son was admitted to Lingshan Academy. He was surprised, but Sun said that maybe Gu Jingxi could help, and he also felt that I guess so, so I never thought that my second son would be better than my younger son.

Soon, Meng Dongyuan realized another problem. He was quite concerned about Chengzhang when he was young. Later, Chengxing was born. Every time he came back from outside, Mrs. Sun would bring Chengxing to see him. Over time, he basically became Only focusing on Chengxing and ignoring Chengzhang.

Sun always complained in front of him that Chengzhang had learned some bad habits from A Yao, and he was a little unhappy in his heart, but after all, he was his son, and even if he didn't like Chengzhang as much as he liked Chengxing, he still didn't like it. Nothing to do with Chengzhang.

Thinking about it now, Mrs. Sun's poisonous woman was trying to drive a wedge between him and Cheng Zhang. The two children he had educated were a daughter who was careless and a son who was not promising. He put so much effort into it, but in the end he didn't even get a scholar. , on the contrary, Chengzhang, who usually didn't care much about it, was selected as a scholar, and he was still the head of the case. This was no longer a matter of age. Chengzhang was only one year older than Chengxing, how could there be such a big difference?

Meng Dongyuan thought of the Sun family and felt resentful in his heart. He also felt a little unhappy about his youngest son. He said in a deep voice: "Chengxing, you should find out why you failed this time and learn more from your second brother. , study harder in the future, and don’t miss your future by being too playful.”

Meng Chengxing suddenly raised his head and looked at his father in disbelief. He had never thought that his father would speak to him like this.

Although Mrs. Meng was happy that her other grandson had become a scholar, she still felt sorry for her little grandson. She hurriedly said: "Chengxing is still young, so we should gain experience this time. Chengzhang is the elder brother and has studied longer than Chengxing." Long, that’s incomparable.”

Mrs. Dong also echoed: "Husband, what my mother said is that Chengxing is still young. However, Chengzhang's success as a scholar is also a happy event for our family. Why don't we have a family banquet today for everyone to celebrate together?"

Mrs. Meng smiled and nodded: "It's time to hold a family banquet. Let Ayu come out from the Buddhist hall to celebrate together. If there is a happy event in the family, her ban will be lifted this time. If there is a next time, she will be severely punished."

After hearing what his wife and mother said, Meng Dongyuan's expression softened, and he nodded and said, "It's up to you, madam, to take care of it." He said, and said to his second son, "Chengzhang, although you won the title of scholar this time, but Don’t be too proud, you still need to keep working hard and strive to be on the list again in two years.”

Meng Chengzhang replied: "My son will obey his father's teachings."

Meng Dongyuan felt even more satisfied when he saw that his second son was neither arrogant nor impetuous, nor was he frightened by favor or humiliation. Since the second son was better than his younger son, he would have to invest more in his cultivation in the future.

Meng Dongyuan, the second son of Yongchang House, was a scholar and the head of the case. A friend came to congratulate Meng Dongyuan. He took his second son to chat with his friends, ignoring the younger son whom he usually valued.

Meng Chengzhang originally didn't want to socialize, but his father was so vain that he couldn't help but drag him out to show off to others. He could only socialize patiently for two days, then went to the Changxing Marquis Mansion to meet his eldest sister, and made an appointment with Gu Xiuwen to return to Lingshan Academy in advance.

This change in Meng Dongyuan gave Meng Chengxing a sense of crisis, and he obviously felt that his status as the heir apparent had been shaken.

Meng Jinyu's sense of crisis was even worse. Her younger brother from the same mother had no future, and she would not even have a backer in the future. For this, she scolded Meng Chengxing, and urged him to make progress, asking him to strive to surpass Meng Chengzhang and stabilize his position in Meng Chengxing. status of home.

Meng Chengxing had been depressed these days, and the merciless scolding from his biological sister made him completely annoyed, and the two siblings had a big quarrel.

Meng Jinyu hated the iron and cursed: "Trash." Then she threw up her sleeves and left.

Seeing this, Meng Chengxing was so angry that his face turned blue and white. Looking at the huge gap between himself and his brother, he felt helpless in his heart. If his mother was still there, there would definitely be a way to help him, but now her mother is gone.

Ms. Dong received the news and learned that their siblings had quarreled, but she just pretended that she didn't know about it. If it weren't for the fact that their siblings didn't like her and would occasionally be irritated with her, she would still take care of it, but now she doesn't want to care about it. This will save you all the trouble.

-

It was dusk that day and it was dinner time, but Gu Jingxi hadn't come back yet.

Qingqiu saw that it was getting late and was afraid that his master would be hungry, so he persuaded his master to have dinner first.

Meng Jinyao waited for another two-quarters of an hour, but didn't wait for anyone to come back, so she had dinner first. It wasn't until after dinner and bathing that Gu Jingxi came back from outside covered with stars and moonlight.

Seeing him coming back, Meng Jinyao hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Husband, can we have dinner?"

Gu Jingxi shook his head: "Not yet."

"The food is still warm in the small kitchen. I'll ask the maid to bring it over." After saying that, Meng Jinyao left the room and asked the maid to bring the food from the small kitchen.

It was late at night, and if you eat too much, you will accumulate food. Gu Jingxi ate some casually. After eating forty-five minutes, he put down the bowl and chopsticks and said to his young wife: "Ayao, you ask the maid to clean up tomorrow. We will leave Beijing the day after tomorrow."

When Meng Jinyao heard this, she was immediately stunned, thinking that she had heard something wrong, and asked nonchalantly: "Li, Li Beijing?"

Gu Jingxi nodded with a smile: "Yes, leave Beijing."

Meng Jinyao then asked: "Then where should we go?"

Gu Jingxi replied: "Go to Huzhou Prefecture and set off the day after tomorrow. Bring as little luggage as possible, only bring the commonly used items. If you need anything, you can buy it there."

"Why is it so sudden?" Meng Jinyao was completely confused, her mind was a little confused, and she asked guessingly, "Husband, you are a Beijing official, how can you leave Beijing at will? Could it be that you were demoted?"

As soon as she finished speaking, before Gu Jingxi could reply, she comforted her thoughtfully: "It's okay. We are all doing things for the people of the court. Isn't it the same wherever you are an official? My husband is a talented person, no matter where he is an official. If you can run your errands well, benefit the people, and relieve the emperor's worries, Huzhou Prefecture will be very good, and it is still a prosperous place."
