In that room, Mrs. Zhang came out of the Shou'antang Hall, feeling a little elated, and the smile on her face never faded.

She walked as if she was carrying the wind, and returned to her yard as quickly as possible. When she learned that her husband had gone to the concubine's room, her smile instantly faded. How long had she been going to her mother-in-law? So soon we arrived at the gentle home of my concubine.

But thinking about her son's studies, she smiled again and ordered the maid to invite Gu Jingsheng back.

And Gu Jingsheng was immersed in the tenderness of his beautiful concubine. He was lying on the bed, ready to go into battle. Suddenly, he was interrupted by the maid. He was very angry and lost interest. He asked the beautiful concubine to serve him. Get dressed and go out.

The maid saw the door opened and the uncle came out with a dark face and asked her angrily: "What's going on?"

The maid was so frightened that she shrank her neck and replied hurriedly: "Sir, the eldest lady said she has something urgent to tell you. It's about the Fourth Young Master, so she asked you to go over there first."

When Gu Jingsheng heard this, his expression softened slightly. He glanced at the beautiful concubine beside him and felt reluctant to leave. However, it was about the child, so he immediately went to Zhang's yard.

When the beautiful concubine saw Gu Jingxi leaving like this, she felt unwilling and stamped her feet angrily. Who knows whether the eldest lady is really involved or just pretending to be involved? It's not the first time that they were interrupted suddenly like today. The eldest lady was so angry that she just didn't allow them to conceive an heir. She even tried every means to stop the uncle from coming to their room.

Gu Jingsheng had just entered the door and saw his happy-looking wife. He was confused. He was still uneasy before going to Shou'an Hall, so why did his face change when he came back? Then he asked: "Madam, what happened to Xiuwen? You called me over in such a hurry."

Mrs. Zhang was very excited: "What a good thing, what a great thing!"

It was rare for Gu Jingsheng to see her so excited. He had never seen her so excited when his eldest daughter-in-law got married. He couldn't help but find it funny: "What's the good thing? Could it be that Xiuwen is getting a wife? Xiuhong and Xiuyuan are not married, so why is he in a hurry?" ?”

"..."

Mrs. Zhang was speechless, and the joy in her heart was a little bit lighter. Her husband knew how to disappoint her, so besides the marriage of her children, was there no other good thing to be happy about?

Gu Jingsheng didn't understand why: "Madam, why don't you speak again?"

The couple had been married for nearly twenty years, and Ms. Zhang knew her husband's temperament and was too lazy to argue with him. She told her mother-in-law that she wanted to help Xiu Wen enter Lingshan Academy.

Where is Lingshan Academy?

No matter how mediocre and incompetent Gu Jingsheng is, he understands that this is an academy that students flock to. Lingshan Academy is world-famous and has produced many famous officials. There are many famous teachers in the academy, outstanding students, and a high chance of passing the imperial examination.

If Xiuwen went to Lingshan Academy to study, he might be able to pass the Jinshi exam. Even if he didn't pass the Jinshi exam, it would be great to go to Lingshan Academy to develop his network.

Gu Jingsheng smiled broadly: "I said mother still takes care of us. Look, aren't we going to ask third brother to help and let Xiuwen go to Lingshan Academy to study?"

Zhang: "..."

Their eldest family was the beneficiary this time. She could not refute her husband's words. Among the grandchildren, only her family Xiu Wen was treated like this. Even Xiu Ming, the eldest son, did not enter Lingshan Academy.

But, why is the mother-in-law so good at their family's literary work?

Seeing her deep in thought, Gu Jingsheng asked, "Madam, what are you thinking about?"

Mrs. Zhang waved her hand, motioning for the maids to step aside, and wondered: "Husband, my mother has four grandsons, why do you think she is only so kind to Xiu Wen? None of Xiu Wen's brothers went to Lingshan Academy to study."

Hearing this, Gu Jingsheng was helpless. Women are troublesome. They think so much about every little thing. Isn't it enough to just get the benefits? What's the use of thinking about all these things?

He said rather impatiently: "The people we recruit this time are from ten to fifteen years old. Xiuyuan and the others are overage. I can only say that we are lucky in our literary studies."

Mrs. Zhang shook her head slightly: "I don't think so. Xiu Ming is the eldest son. How can he give Xiu Wen benefits that even the eldest son has not received?"

After she finished speaking, she frowned in thought.

Soon, a shocking idea flashed through her mind, and her eyes suddenly opened. After the shock, there was ecstasy. The more she thought about it, the more possible it became.

She asked mysteriously: "Husband, do you think my mother wants to adopt our Xiuwen family to our third brother?"

Gu Jingsheng was stunned after hearing this. He felt that his wife was having a whim, and replied: "Don't think so wildly. The third brother's family already has Xiu Ming, so why would he want to Xiu Wen?"

Mrs. Zhang glanced at him, with a bit of disgust in her eyes. She thought he was not smart, but her words were quite gentle: "Xiu Ming caused such a big scandal, and his third brother punished him severely. Now he is still thinking about it in the ancestral hall. Even my mother has never begged for mercy for him. Do you think my mother and third brother are disappointed in Xiu Ming and have given up on Xiu Ming?"

When Gu Jingsheng heard this, he was suddenly enlightened. He was shocked and shocked: "Could it be that...could it be that mother wanted to..."

He didn't dare to say the next words. He was silent for a moment, and he was very reluctant to give up: "But Xiuwen is already so old. We have raised a child for fifteen years, so we are going to adopt him out and let him call others his parents in the future?"

"You are short-sighted!"

Mrs. Zhang spit it out angrily. Seeing her husband's expression of relief, she quickly softened her tone and whispered softly: "Husband, I will adopt my third brother, who is the heir apparent of the Hou family. He will inherit the title in the future. We can't bear to part with the child anymore. But since our children have a better future, we should also be happy for our children, don’t you think?”

Gu Jingsheng was silent. He only had two sons. He definitely hoped that his son would be successful. He was limited in ability and could not be a high official, but he hoped that his son could be adopted by his third brother. The third brother could give his son a good future, and he was his son's As a biological father, your son has made great achievements and his face has light.

After pondering for a moment, Gu Jingsheng said again: "But mother didn't say it clearly, are we overthinking it? Xiuyuan is the eldest grandson. Even if the third brother wants to establish another heir, he can establish Xiuyuan, and there is no need to pass Xiuwen on."

Mrs. Zhang looked at him angrily and analyzed: "After adoption, he will be his son. In the future, it will be more cost-effective to support the couple in their old age. If you ask me, how can a cousin nephew have a biological nephew?" Based on Xiu Ming’s experience, the third brother probably won’t consider adopting a sideline child anymore, and the second brother only has one son, so our family is the most likely.”

Gu Jingsheng nodded in understanding, but this kind of good thing was not their turn to have a big house ten years ago. Ten years later, will they get a big house this year?

He felt that this matter was very suspenseful, and he didn't have to have any expectations. It would be great if Xiuwen could go to Lingshan Academy to study, so he said: "This matter has no impact. Don't talk about it everywhere, otherwise it will spread to my mother's ears. I don’t know what they will think of us.”

Zhang was extremely cautious about this and replied: "I'm just telling you this. How dare you say it everywhere? It's something that hasn't been decided yet. If it's not, wouldn't I be embarrassed? Even Xiuyuan I won’t even mention it to them, including Xiu Wen.”
