Changning Hou can vaguely glimpse some reasons.

The imperial examination is the only way for Wenchen to enter the office, and it has always been the most fair, but the name of this champion list still depends on Jun's grace and which one His Majesty wants to promote.

Therefore, although Xie Jin did not finish in the top three, he also sat firmly in the fourth.

Because Gu Xiang returned to the door today, he had to split up and do succession, so Changning Hou took leave to stay at home, and the father and son were talking in the study.

Seeing that his son was so puzzled, he persuaded him: "You need to remember that the thunder, rain and dew are all Jun's grace, and if Your Majesty gives it, then follow it, and if you don't give it, don't force it." ”

"The Xie family is far smarter than you, and Xie Jin is far more far-sighted than you."

Gu Zhixuan paused, reacted and asked, "Is this what Your Majesty meant?" ”

Changning Hou said: "The power of the Xie family is too great, there should not be another champion Tanhua, some things can't be too much, not only the Xie family, but also any family." ”

"The Xie family accepted it much more easily than you, and said that it was Xie Jin's mistake in front of His Palace, so to cover it up, people are smart people, you don't have to worry about this matter."

"Let's go, your second sister and they're back, go out and have a look."

"Yes."

The father and son walked out of the study to the main courtyard of the outer courtyard, and when they came, the people in the house had already arrived, and the house was lively, and everyone sat down after saluting.

Jiang was very happy: "Ah Xuan has to explore the flowers, it is really a great joy in the house, and you need to set up a few tables to celebrate." ”

Gu Zhixuan was not in this mood, he said: "Grandmother, there have been a lot of things in the house recently, so I won't do it for the time being, and I will invite a few gentlemen and classmates from the academy to eat some in the restaurant in two days." ”

When Jiang heard him say this, he also remembered that there had been a lot of things in the house recently, so he nodded: "Yes, then I won't do it." ”

Thinking of those bad things, the smile on Jiang's face faded a lot.

"Mother-in-law, Ah Xiang, they're here." Zhou on the side reminded him.

Jiang raised his eyes, but saw Gu Xiang and Jiang Zeyun coming from outside, the two of them one after the other, the distance between the two of them, and their faces didn't seem to be very good.

Jiang Zeyun still had a cold face, and he didn't see any joy at all, and Gu Xiang's face was not very good-looking.

The two men came forward to salute.

"Meet Grandmother."

"Meet my uncle and aunt."

"Meet my father and mother (father-in-law)."

"Get up and sit down." Jiang asked them to sit down with a faint expression.

The two thanked each other and sat down on the chair that had been prepared for them earlier, Xie Yixiao sat on the side and took a look, Jiang Zeyun was wearing a purple robe and a golden crown, handsome and noble, worthy of the identity of the second male.

Gu Xiang was wearing a purple dress, a cardigan, a pleated skirt, and a large-sleeved gown outside, with a woman's hair bun combed on his head, and a treasure-inlaid gold hairpin and a step, which was also dignified and noble.

If it weren't for the fact that the faces of the two were not very good, they would look quite compatible.

Jiang Zeyun was dissatisfied with Gu Xiang, because he had a heart, he didn't want to marry in the first place, and it was strange what kind of face the person who was escorted back to marry, and he didn't want to come to the door today, but he was forced to come.

Gu Xiang was also dissatisfied with Jiang Zeyun, for no other reason, because on the night of marriage, Jiang Zeyun was drunk, and asked people to move the wine to the house to borrow wine to kill their sorrows, and their mouths never left Gu You.

On the second day, when she went to serve tea, Mrs. Wu Anhou asked about the fact that the two did not have sex together last night, and Gu Xiang only said that he was drunk and confused the matter.

After returning to the courtyard, she also drank tea from the two concubines, these two were originally Jiang Zeyun's maids, and it was normal to be promoted to the concubine room after getting married, Gu Xiang didn't think much about it.

It's just that not long after, she heard someone whispering, saying that Jiang Zeyun had already sent the two away in order to marry Gu You, and only sent someone to pick them up a few days ago.

With such a differential treatment, Gu Xiang was so angry that she was dizzy, but she also endured it, but that night she mentioned that since the two were already husband and wife, they should have had sex earlier, but he pointed at her nose and scolded her.

scolded her for being shameless, scolded her for being cheap, scolded her for being inferior to the prostitute in the building, said that she occupied the position of his wife, let him marry Gu You, and wished she would die sooner.

When she got here, where could Gu Xiang endure it, not to mention her impulsive temperament, which no one could bear.

The two quarreled, Jiang Zeyun turned his head and went to his aunt's house, so angry that Gu Xiang couldn't sleep all night.

So when I returned to the door on this day, I naturally didn't have a good face.

The Jiang family treated the faces of these two people as if they hadn't seen them, and didn't ask Gu Xiang how he was in the Wu'an Hou Mansion, and went straight to the point.

"You are here today to tell you two things, one is that the house is going to be separated, and the accounts of the house have been settled for the past few days."

"Now there are only your uncle and your brother in the house, reasoning, your uncle is the eldest son, and the ancestral property is his, and the rest of these are set aside for the dowry used by the son and girl in the house for marriage, all of which are seventy-three points, the eldest son is seven, and the second son is three."

"In addition, the courtyard of the third entrance on Xiping Street is also for the second child, what are your opinions?"

In this era, the eldest inherits the family business, the ancestral title and the main house belongs to the eldest son, and the second son gets 30% of the family business, which is an ordinary division, and it has already divided the second master Gu according to the share of the son-in-law.

If you really want to talk about the fact that he is a concubine, he is the only one in the house, and it is already good to give him two percent, if there are more brothers, I am afraid that there is not even one percent.

The eldest has to account for at least half of the family business.

This is probably the last bit of friendship that the Jiang family has for Gu Erye.

Changning Hou said: "The son has no opinion, the mother is in charge." ”

Zhou also nodded: "The daughter-in-law has no opinion, she listens to her mother-in-law and the Hou Ye." ”

Jiang nodded, and then looked at Second Master Gu: "Second brother, what is your opinion?" ”

Of course, Second Master Gu has opinions, he doesn't want to split up, even if he is given so much money and silver in the family business, where can he be more comfortable as the Second Master of the Hou Mansion.

He pleaded: "Mother, can you not divide the family, it was the son who was confused before, and it was the son who ......"

Before he finished speaking, Sun on the side hurriedly said: "Divide, it must be divided, we won't bother my mother-in-law, what my mother-in-law said is good, just follow this point." ”

The Sun family wished that they had broken up earlier, as long as the family was separated, she could come out, and she would not have to be disciplined by the Jiang family.

Jiang nodded again: "Since this is the case, let's divide it like this, count the things in the next few days, and then find a good day to worship the ancestors, and then you can move over." ”

"There is one more thing, that is, to pass Ah Xiang to the long house, we have all discussed it, and we have all agreed, Ah Xiang, now I also ask you and the couple what they mean, but are you willing?"
