Mrs. Zhang was immediately stunned by the good news. She was already prepared to be scolded by her mother-in-law. Who would have thought that there would be such a good thing?

She immediately put her daughter's troubles behind her and nodded: "Mom, my daughter-in-law, my daughter-in-law agrees." As she said that, she hesitated a little, "Can he be favored by the mountain chief just for repairing his essay? "

Although she felt that her child was the best and smartest, Lingshan Academy was famous and demanding and it was not easy to get in. She was unsure.

Mrs. Gu replied: "The third child is friends with the director of Lingshan Academy. If you agree to send Xiuwen to study, I will mention it to the third child and ask him to take Xiuwen to visit the director."

Mrs. Zhang was surprised and happy when she heard this. Her daughter had just gotten into trouble in the morning. In the afternoon, her mother-in-law wanted to help her youngest son enter Lingshan Academy. Didn't her mother-in-law know what happened in the morning?

Fortunately, fortunately, she punished Xuan Yi severely. Even if her mother-in-law found out about the incident later, she could still report it to her mother-in-law and bring her daughter over to admit her mistake. As long as she had a good attitude in admitting her mistake, her mother-in-law would take it lightly no matter how angry she was. put.

Mrs. Gu looked at her overjoyed expression and said, "Boss, wife, don't be too happy. This matter may not be possible yet. Whether you can enter the academy in the end depends on the wishes of the mountain chief."

Zhang took a deep breath to calm down her excitement and said with a smile: "Mother, you and your third brother are helping Xiu Wen. As for whether it can succeed, it all depends on Xiu Wen's performance. If it doesn't succeed, you can only blame Xiu Wen." If your performance is not good enough, you will not be able to catch the eye of the mountain chief."

Having said that, Zhang felt that with a 90% chance, there would be almost no chance of failure if the third child took action.

Mrs. Gu nodded lightly: "Since you agree, it's settled. You have been supervising Xiu Wen and reviewing his homework recently. I will have a talk with the third child when he comes back tonight."

Mrs. Zhang grinned from the corner of her mouth to her ears and nodded repeatedly: "Okay, okay, thank you mother."

Mrs. Gu glanced at her and replied quietly: "You don't have to be polite to me. Xiuwen is my grandson. Since the academy is recruiting people, I am just helping my grandson."

As soon as these words came out, Mrs. Zhang instantly felt guilty. Not long ago, she said that her mother-in-law had no sincerity towards them. Now her mother-in-law was trying her best to help her son enter Lingshan Academy. She felt like an invisible slap on her face. It's also hot.

She tried her best to keep the smile on her face: "What mother said is that Xiuwen's child has always been filial. If he succeeds in the future, he will not forget how good his mother was to him."

Mrs. Gu had a smile on her face, nodded and said, "That child is indeed filial."

After talking about the business, she didn't want to talk nonsense to the eldest daughter-in-law anymore, so she said again: "Okay, I have nothing else to do. You go back and talk to Xiu Wen first. When the eldest daughter-in-law comes home, you can also talk to the eldest daughter-in-law." Talk about it."

Mrs. Zhang nodded in response: "Mom, my husband is back at noon. My daughter-in-law will go back and tell him that going to Lingshan Academy is such a good thing, and my husband will definitely agree."

After saying this, Ms. Zhang bowed respectfully to her mother-in-law before leaving.

Aunt Feng saw Mrs. Zhang salute to the old lady. The salute movements were standard. They were all for show. There were not many times when she was sincere. This time was probably one of the few. She sincerely saluted the old lady as a junior. It was so sincere. Satisfied, at this moment she almost regarded the old lady as her biological mother.

After Mrs. Zhang left, Nanny Feng said: "Old madam, I thought you... Oh, don't mention it, it's because I had a misunderstanding."

Mrs. Gu asked: "What do you think it is?"

Aunt Feng replied: "I think you want to change the prince, and want the fourth young master to be adopted by the marquis and make the fourth prince the prince instead." After saying that, she herself found it funny that such an inconsistency would happen. idea.

Mrs. Gu was stunned when she heard this, couldn't help laughing, and said helplessly: "You are already old, how come your thoughts are still so out of the ordinary like when you were young?"

Grandma Feng said hurriedly: "I am still not calm enough, please continue practicing."

Mrs. Gu said slowly: "Xiu Ming is still fine. What do I want to do about that? Although he was wrong, he can still be given another chance. If Xiu Ming really insists on going his own way and refuses to repent, he will do it for Li If something happens to the girl, you can consider changing to another heir. After all, it is impossible for a man who can only hang around for a woman to support the entire family."

She paused as she spoke, sighed softly, and then continued: "Now Xiuyuan and the others have not entered the officialdom. If it were not for the third son's single-handed support over the years, they would have declined long ago. Whether the family can prosper depends on It depends on whether the future generations will be of any use, and the children need to be raised well. The internal strife in the family is the beginning of the family's decline. Xiuwen is a smart kid, and without his mother to pamper him, he might really be able to make a difference. I have also thought about it before. Separate the mother and son first. After what happened today, I made up my mind."

Grandma Feng's eyes turned red when she heard these upright words. The old lady had done so much for the Gu family over the years, and only Mr. Hou, as his own son, could understand the old lady's good intentions.

These old ladies have been balancing the first and second houses, but the first wife and the second wife will always fight openly and secretly for a small profit. If the two ladies had not fought, the conflicts between the first house and the second house would have been reduced a lot. The old man is more naive, and both I am listening to my wife's instructions and want to make a profit but my brain is not working well. It is just a waste of time. It will be much better if I marry a good wife.

Thinking of this, Nanny Feng felt unworthy for her master again: "Old madam, you have worked so hard for the Gu family, all for the benefit of the younger generation. This time you have helped the fourth young master. The eldest madam is happy, but she does not understand your good intentions. Be attentive.”

Mrs. Gu was silent for a while, quite disdainful of Zhang's way of judging a gentleman's heart with a villain's heart: "Zhang's short-sighted thing, you don't need her to understand me. That kid Xiuwen has a good heart, wait and see Studying with a famous teacher, cultivating his own opinions, and broadening his horizons, he will naturally be able to see his mother's problems clearly. In the future, he will not be instigated by Zhang to mess around with nothing and do nothing. As long as he is willing to work hard, he will always become talented and glorious. "

After hearing this, Nanny Feng was filled with admiration: "Old Madam, you understand justice well."

"If the younger generation doesn't use the family property built by our ancestors, we won't be able to keep it."

Mrs. Gu's eyes were clear and wise. She looked at the sandalwood scent on the incense burner and her tone became serious: "My ancestor followed Emperor Taizu to conquer the country and became a marquis for more than a hundred years. The family has experienced several rises and falls. More than twenty years ago, it happened again Come back, if it declines again, I don’t know when it will come back, or it may never recover. The next generation of the Gu family will only rely on the brothers Xiu Yuan, Xiu Hong, Xiu Ming, and Xiu Wen. Looking at them now, there is no Which one is particularly top-notch makes me feel sad."

Nanny Feng thought of the few young masters who were far different from those of the Marquis. If no one could stand up in the past ten years, the Gu family might decline again.
