Xiangu went there for a while, then came out and asked Xie Yixiao to come in.
Xie Yixiao stood outside the house blowing the wind for a while, but she felt much calmer than before. She thanked her, then entered the house, turned around and entered Jiang's bedroom.
Mr. Jiang put on a piece of clothing and sat down on the edge of the bed, looking a little tired. Xie Yi smiled and regretted coming in such a hurry. Anyway, there is still time tomorrow.
"Grandma."
Mrs. Jiang hummed, "You're so anxious to come here, but what's the matter?"
Xie Yixiao walked over and sat down on the edge of the bed. He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I heard that the family is going to adopt the second cousin into the name of my uncle and aunt?"
Jiang nodded: "It is indeed true. Your uncle and aunt have agreed. Is this why you are here?"
Xie Yi smiled and said: "It is indeed a good thing that my second cousin adopted the name of my uncle and aunt. It is also very beneficial to the relationship between the Changning Marquis and the Wu'an Marquis, and even to my second cousin.
"
After all, there is a huge difference between a father who is a marquis and a second-rank official and a father who has no title and is unable to support himself.
"In this way, if the families are separated in the future, the second cousin will be farther away from the second room and have less things to do. The second uncle and second aunt cannot use the name of their parents to ask her to do this or that, or even bully her."
"No matter how you look at it, it's a good thing."
When Jiang heard what she said, she nodded: "Your uncle and aunt and I do think so too, but you are here, shouldn't you be worried about something?"
Xie Yi said with a smile: "I want to talk about my eldest cousin. As you know, Prince Jiang has always had a deep affection for his eldest cousin. When the eldest cousin comes back, he will miss his eldest cousin all the time. When the time comes, his eldest cousin and his second cousin will
I'm afraid it won't be easy for them to get along."
"Does grandma have any solution to this matter?"
Jiang patted her hand, and then said: "Don't worry, if your eldest cousin comes back, since she did something wrong first, and your second cousin married for her, she should have let your second cousin marry her.
If she dares to tangle with that boy from the Jiang family, I will tear her apart."
"Let's go to your second cousin's place again. Before she got married, I told her that the boy from the Jiang family doesn't have her in his heart. After she gets married, if that boy is willing to live a good life with her, then he will live a good life with her."
"If she can't, let her not think about all these things, let her give birth to the eldest grandson of Wu'an Hou Mansion as soon as possible, and firmly occupy the position of the wife of the prince. As for who the kid is thinking about or doting on, don't worry about it.
Just keep it in mind.”
"You don't need to worry about that."
It sounds somewhat believable.
Xie Yixiao secretly breathed a sigh of relief. If Gu Xiang didn't take her husband's concern for others to heart and didn't go against Gu You, everything would be fine.
Although it's a bit bad to ask Gu Xiang to swallow his anger, they can't control Gu You, and they don't have the ability to resist the male protagonist. If they want to survive, they can only survive.
But if she couldn't bear it and insisted on going against Gu You, the outcome might not be much better than that of the original owner in the book.
"That way, I feel relieved."
Jiang said: "Since you are here, let's sleep with grandma for a while."
"okay."
Xie Yixiao had someone take off the hairpin, changed into pajamas and lay down with Jiang.
Jiang stretched out his hand to rub her hair and laughed: "When Gillian has grown up, it's time to kiss her. When the family affairs are finished, grandma will choose a good one for you."
Xie Yixiao had never thought about not getting married. At the beginning, she had thought about marrying to save her life, so she also laughed: "Then grandma must choose carefully for me. I only have one request."
"Oh?" Jiang laughed again, "You have another request, tell me, what request?"
"I don't like sharing the same husband with others. What I want is for him to be with me alone."
The smile on Jiang's face faded, and he stretched out his hand to touch her head: "For ordinary people, monogamy is common, but it is rare to be a wealthy family, especially among this powerful clan, it is even more difficult."
"If you want to do this, I'm afraid it won't be easy."
Xie Yixiao said coquettishly: "But I don't care. After a serious illness, I also want to understand a lot. Life only lasts for a few decades, so why should I be happy and comfortable?"
"If I find the right one, it will be a good match. If I can't find it, my life will not be too bad even if I am alone."
"Grandma, please listen to me, okay..."
Jiang had no choice but to nod in agreement: "Okay, okay, grandma agreed. I'll look for one for you and see if there is one like this."
"As long as you live happily in this life..."
.
The matters of family separation and adoption were settled in this way. Second Master Gu disagreed with both matters. Regardless of the separation of the family, he was still the second master of the Changning Marquis Mansion, but after the separation, he was nothing.
As for the matter of adoption, Gu Xiang is now the wife of the prince of the Hou family, so how can he be willing to do so.
However, he could not decide on the matter of dividing the family, it had to be decided by the Jiang family. People said that the family would not be separated if the parents were still alive. If the old Marquis was still alive, naturally it would be impossible to separate the family.
But the old Marquis is gone, and the second master Gu is not the Jiang family's biological child. The Jiang family doesn't want to take care of the second wife's affairs, so it's normal to want to separate them.
Adoption is a little more difficult and requires the consent of Mr. Gu. After all, Gu Xiang is his biological daughter. However, Jiang has a clever trick and she lets Sun go.
She told Mrs. Sun that if she and Mr. Gu agreed to adopt him, she would be allowed to return to Mr. Gu after the separation, and Aunt Xu would not rob her of him by then, so she could have this person as she wished.
After hearing this, Mrs. Sun naturally agreed happily, and then went to find Mr. Gu to cry and tell him about the many things he had done over the years by doting on his concubines and destroying his wives.
Second Master Gu was annoyed and felt a little unjust, so he finally agreed. He thought that even if he was adopted, it was just a name, and he was his biological child anyway, so how could he still ignore him?
On the tenth day of April, the results of the palace examination were released, which was also the day when Gu Xiang returned home. The Changning Marquis Mansion sent people to wait early, and as expected, Gu Zhixuan won the top prize.
After the news came back, everyone in the house was happy, but Gu Zhixuan was a little depressed and felt a little defeated.
Xie Jin finished fourth and was not among the top three.
Just like the news that came out earlier, the number one scholar came from a poor family.
He is Xu Qinggen, a student of Confucius Academy in Jiangzhou. He is only twenty-three this year. He was also the Jieyuan of Jiangzhou in the autumn, and his knowledge is also very good, but he only got fifth in the spring.
It would be reasonable to say that Xie Jindian failed in the examination and won the first prize.
But in Gu Zhixuan's opinion, it was impossible for Xie Jin, such a careful and cautious person, to fail in the imperial examination.
