Gu Zhifeng said: "Cousin, don't worry, this time, I will definitely do my best to get a good score in the exam." ”

Gu Zhifeng said this to Xie Yixiao, probably with the meaning of a promise to Mingjing, in the future, when he was admitted to the Chunqiu, got the name of Jinshi, and could enter the court as an official, he would no longer be a child of a family who completely relied on the family to live, he could support his family, have a foothold, and protect her.

Xie Yixiao just smiled and said to him, "May my cousin get what he wants." ”

"Thank you, cousin."

After Gu Zhifeng left, the Jiang family began to get angry: "I can't figure it out, he has to take the exam this time, and Xie Zhuo of the Xie family didn't go either, why did he have to succeed in this?" ”

Xie Yixiao could only persuade her: "It's about the third cousin who wants to get out of a way earlier, the third cousin is working so hard, you should be happy, in the future, there will be the eldest cousin and the third cousin brothers to support each other, and then the eldest uncle will be there, and the Changning Hou Mansion will get better and better." ”

Gu Zhixuan stayed in the Hanlin Academy for three years, and was finally asked by the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and now he has served as the superintendent of the imperial history in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the official is six grades, although the grade is not high, but the place in the Metropolitan Procuratorate is all ruthless, and he is upright, which can be regarded as an excellent place.

Jiang sighed: "I hope that the two brothers can support each other in the future, but he is in a hurry to take the examination at such an age, if he passes the exam, he needs to polish and polish more, if he fails the exam, I am worried that he will lose his fighting spirit, and he will be sluggish after that." ”

"This spring festival is also the first year after His Majesty ascended the throne, Your Majesty must also want to select some talents among them, and I don't know how many people will participate, he is so old, he has never studied seriously before, where can he pass the exam."

Xie Yi said with a smile: "Although the battle is indeed fierce, the third cousin is not completely without a chance, and even if he loses the list, the third cousin will not be defeated so easily." ”

"I hope so." Jiang sighed, so far, he only hopes so, "I wanted to tell him a family affair before, but he didn't want to do it at all, and said that the eldest husband should start a business first and then start a family, what kind of woman does he like?" ”

"I really like the girl of your Xie family, although it is a mess of generations, but that girl is really good, but I just want to think about it, the Xie family is a concubine, if I dare to open this mouth, I am afraid that the Xie family will annoy me as an old lady."

Xie Zhu is really good, but Gu Zhifeng is only a concubine of the Hou Mansion, and he is indeed a little unworthy, if he is a sister-in-law, he can still talk about it.

Xie Yi said with a smile: "These two people are indeed not suitable, Azhu is indeed a good girl, and she deserves to have a hundred daughters in the family, but the Xie family probably doesn't want to marry her into a powerful family, her husband is either the eldest son of the clan, or a promising young man." ”

The Xie family has always known the truth that it is too much, and now there are several in-laws who are powerful enough, and when it comes to Xie Yu and Xie Zhu's relatives, they don't dare to look for it anymore.

Moreover, the Xie family and the Changning Marquis Mansion were originally in-laws, even though Xie Qingshan and Gu Qinse had passed away, but with Xie Yixiao and Xie Yiling here, this in-law relationship could not be broken, if it weren't for the two of them looking at each other, there would be no reason to marry again.

Jiang nodded, and only said pity: "Such a girl has nothing to do with our Gu family." ”

Xie Yi said with a smile: "There are more good girls in the world, there will always be the right one, the third cousin has not yet reached the crown, you don't have to rush to say kiss to him, just say kiss, and ask him what kind of girl he likes." ”

"That's all there is to it."

Xie Yixiao talked to the Jiang family, and after a while, Cao Sijin came, she went to sit in Cao Sijin's courtyard for a while, and when she was about to leave, another maid came to invite her, saying that the Zhou family wanted to see her.

Xie Yi smiled strangely: "What did the eldest aunt say?" ”

The maidservant said, "Madame only said that she invited the princess to come over and talk, and there was no one around." ”

Xie Yixiao nodded, and let her lead the way to Zhou's courtyard, Zhou came out of the inner room, wearing a blue and light clothes, holding a string of Buddhist beads in his hand, and he could smell the faint scent of sandalwood on her body when he approached.

"Auntie."

"You're here." Zhou's eyebrows and eyes are calm, his face is not stained with any fat powder, and he is plain, looking really like he wants to take refuge in Buddhism.

"I don't know if my aunt is looking for me, but what's the matter?" The two sat down on the stone table in the courtyard, and the maidservants brought tea to them, and everything in the courtyard was cleaned up and spotless.

"Actually, there's nothing to do, I just want to ask you, has there been a letter from the princess?"

The princess?

Xie Yi paused with a smile and shook his head: "That's not true, after all, South Vietnam and Dongming are not the same country, if there is nothing to do, it is better to have less contact." ”

If you are not careful, these are the things that others use to attack you, and if there is something in it, it is mistaken for a collaborator, it is even worse.

She and the princess also know this truth, and if it is a big event, they will not be contacted.

But their friendship is still in their hearts.

"Didn't you?" Zhou was a little disappointed, "I don't know when she came to South Vietnam, but what are she doing now?" ”

Xie Yi said with a smile: "What a smart woman the princess is, and she is also the prince of a country, no matter what, she can live well, and the eldest aunt doesn't have to worry about her." ”

"Where can I not worry about her." When Zhou thought that her daughter was far away from her, and it was very likely that she would not see her again in this life, she had no way to feel at ease, day and night, she just wanted to pray for the Buddha to bless her.

Thinking of this, she thought of Gu You again, and couldn't help biting her lip: "I heard that Gu You went to Xiliang, but now it's okay?" ”

Xie Yi smiled: "I don't know if it's good, but I heard that Prince Su Ye is also a person who has a fiancée, I'm afraid I can't marry her......"

"If this is the case, if she wants to follow Prince Shuye, she can only be a concubine, but unfortunately she will definitely not be a concubine." Zhou's face was cold, "In this way, she is not doing well, and I will be relieved." ”

The most unbearable thing for her is that Gu You married Prince Shuye and continued to enjoy the glory and wealth.

"The past, right and wrong, don't take it too seriously, aunt and uncle, this day still has to go on."

Xie Yixiao heard Cao Sijin say that after the princess left, the Zhou family began to chant sutras and chant Buddha every day, and the Marquis of Changning had already separated, and they couldn't see each other for ten days and half a month on weekdays, if it went on like this, it would not be good for them.

"If you are doing well, the princess can rest assured, right? It's time to let go, it's time to let go......"
