Xie Yixiao didn't think Jiang would be threatened by Master Gu and agreed to release Aunt Xu and Gu Yi. Jiang was not stupid and could not be threatened by anyone who wanted to.
On the contrary, Mr. Gu, if he caused such a thing at this juncture, would probably consume all the last bit of friendship between the Jiang family.
After what happened, Mr. Gu might be in bad luck.
However, if Jiang does not agree, how should this matter be resolved?
Xie Yixiao was a little worried, but she remembered that after Jiang and Zhou came out, Jiang's face became much better, and Zhou also left with others, so she may have thought of a way to deal with it.
Ming Xin's face became much better when she heard this. She snorted coldly: "It's best not possible."
Mingxin hated Aunt Xu and Gu Yi so much that she was counting the days to see if they would be unlucky. If they were released so easily, she would probably kill them with a knife on the spot.
Xie Yi smiled and said: "Okay, okay, let's go to Xiangzhuyuan first. No matter what, it's not the time to make trouble now. If anything happens, let's wait and see what happens after the incident."
Mingxin thought about it, so her expression softened a lot.
When the three of them arrived at Xiangzhuyuan, the maid was giving Gu Xiangwan hair, and several girls were sitting nearby talking. Jiang Zhaoling represented Jiang's natal family, so she came earlier and was chatting with several girls about the imperial examination.
.
At the beginning of April, His Majesty held the imperial examination in the Tai Chi Palace. The day for the announcement of the imperial examination results is the day after tomorrow. The candidate for the top spot in the imperial examination has always been a hotly debated matter in the imperial city.
"I think the number one scholar must be Mr. Xie Huaijin. Everyone in the imperial city knows Mr. Xie's name, and everyone knows the name of the Xie family."
"Shizi Gu is also good. I have been hearing from people outside these days that these two are afraid of continuing the glory of the past. I remember that when the Marquis and the Fifth Master Xie participated in the imperial examination together, one was the top scholar and the other was the top pick. It is a good story.
.”
"It would be incredible if Mr. Xie and Mr. Gu also take these two together this time."
In the past, the Marquis of Changning's Mansion was a palace for military commanders. However, Marquis of Changning did not grow up at home, so naturally he never practiced martial arts. However, he was a smart young man, and when he took part in the imperial examination, he won the title of No. 1 Scholar in one fell swoop.
Nowadays, the official position of the Minister of Rites, the second-rank official in the court, and the Marquis of Changning have also changed from the military commander's court to the civil servant's court.
In the past, the Marquis of Changning and Xie Qingshan participated in the imperial examination together. The Marquis of Changning was selected as the number one scholar, and Xie Qingshan was selected as the top pick. Xie Qingshan was also engaged to Gu Qinse, and it was a good story that the two of them won the title.
Now that Xie Jin and Gu Zhixuan were taking part in the palace examination together, and they were both extremely good, people outside naturally thought of this past incident and compared it.
"The number one scholar must be the prince's cousin." One of the women said unwillingly, "The Xie family just knows a little bit about reading. If we talk about real ability, of course the prince's cousin is the most powerful."
The speaker was Sun Ting'er, a girl from the Sun family.
She was wearing a peach red dress and had a beautiful peach velvet flower on her head. She looked pretty and pretty, but she was very angry and unhappy at the moment.
The Sun family is Sun's natal family. Although there was some unpleasantness in the past, it is impossible for Gu Xiang not to invite her maternal grandfather's family when she gets married today. Naturally, someone from the Sun family will also come.
Sun Ting'er also admired Gu Zhixuan. When she got the chance, she used the excuse of visiting Gu Xiang to come to the Changning Marquis Mansion just to take a look at Gu Zhixuan.
Speaking of which, Gu Zhixuan didn't know whether he was too good or too unlucky. It was probably both. Whether it was the original owner or the cousin of his maternal ancestral family, the Zhou family, or even the cousin of the second wife's maternal ancestry, the Sun family, all wanted to marry him.
he.
The girl from the Zhou family is named Zhou Muqin. She is the same age as Gu You and is already seventeen this year. However, she has been refusing to marry and only wants to marry Gu Zhixuan.
The Zhou family's family background is really average. That is because the Zhou family married into the Changning Marquis Mansion, and the Changning Marquis was grateful to the Zhou family and supported the Zhou family over the years. The Zhou family was able to save some frivolous wealth and survive in the imperial city.
Zhou Muqin is so obsessed with Gu Zhixuan, one of which is because he is good enough and handsome, and the other is because among the people known to the Zhou family, only Gu Zhixuan has a noble status and is the eldest son of the Hou family, who can match her.
A height that no one can reach even when jumping.
Zhou Muqin also wanted to imitate her aunt, fly up a branch and become a Madam Hou.
However, even though Zhou Muqin had this intention, he did not have the opportunity, because even the Zhou family did not agree with this marriage.
It's not that Mrs. Zhou doesn't care about her mother's family, but she cares more about the Marquis of Changning, her own son, and the Marquis of Changning's house. She even wants Gu Zhixuan to marry a legitimate daughter from a high family.
She comes from a humble background. She has managed the Marquis Mansion carefully and worked hard over the years. Although she will not cause any embarrassing incident, sometimes she is always weak and needs Jiang's intervention to get things done.
In this way, she hopes that her daughter-in-law will be a noble girl, like her own daughter Gu You, dignified and noble, able to stand up, be able to manage, and have broad connections, so that the Changning Marquis Mansion will be happy for a hundred years.
Zhou Muqin was not the candidate in her mind. Even because Zhou Muqin had not married in order to marry Gu Zhixuan, the Zhou family was quite dissatisfied.
Zhou Muqin was also in the room at this moment. He heard Sun Ting'er keep talking about the prince's cousin, and her face was very ugly, so she said: "Although my cousin is indeed good, Miss Sun can't slander Mr. Xie like this. If anyone hears it, I'm afraid...
not too good."
The girl from the Sun family may have inherited the Sun family's stupidity. She snorted coldly when she heard this: "These are all facts. Is it possible that we won't let others talk about it? Then the Xie family..."
At this time, Xie Yixiao walked to the door. The people next to him saw him and hurriedly pulled Sun Ting'er, fearing that she would continue talking.
Sun Ting'er was still very dissatisfied about this: "Why are you pulling me here? Why don't you let me tell you? Then Xie Jin is not as good as the prince's cousin. Even the Marquis and Xie Wuye were not as good as the Hou Ye."
It's not obvious that you've fallen behind."
The people on the side were so frightened that they broke out in cold sweat. Someone whispered: "Xie Shisan is here, please stop talking."
"What Xie Shisan..." Sun Ting'er looked up and saw Xie Yixiao and others standing at the door looking at her, with expressions on their faces that were half-smiling, and her whole body froze at that moment.
Xie Yixiao raised his eyebrows and smiled: "What are you talking about? Keep talking, I'm here to listen."
It would be fine if they were just talking about Xie Jin. After all, everyone was talking about it. Some said that Gu Zhixuan was not as good as Xie Jin, while others said that Xie Jin was not as good as Gu Zhixuan. Although it was a bit embarrassing for Gu Zhixuan to be caught red-handed by the Xie family while standing there, it was not like he could
how.
But if you bring out someone else's biological father to make a case, and say he is not as good as others, and are caught red-handed, it won't end well.
[The author has something to say]
The eldest son of the Xie family is named Xie Jin and his courtesy name is Huai Jin, so he is also called Xie Huai Jin. It is not a typo.
