Looking for a son-in-law.

what does that mean?

The man married into the Gu family, and the child will take Gu An'an's surname.

Generally speaking, apart from poor families, how many people would accept a son-in-law taking a wife?

Chen Bei understood what Sister Gu meant. She was saying that she didn't want to get married for the time being and didn't want any random people to come and bother her.

However, this concept was still somewhat profound for Jiang Mingxu, and he did not understand it.

The Third Young Master Ming nodded vigorously, "Okay, okay, I'll remember. Then Mother, please hire a few more so I can attend more weddings."

Gu An'an: "..."

She couldn't hold back any longer and wanted to discipline her son.

If she had known, she should have been a heartless stepmother and sent this brat to Sun Hanzhou's place, so he could practice calligraphy every day and suffer terribly!

As the saying goes, speak of the devil and he shall appear. Just as Gu An'an was about to speak, she caught a glimpse of Sun Hanzhou leading his three newly accepted disciples into the room.

Jiang Mingzhu was as lively as ever, "Mom, what were you talking about just now? I heard you say something about having a wedding banquet."

"No, that's nonsense. You've had a long day, sir. Please take a seat."

After exchanging pleasantries, Sun Hanzhou finally took his seat, and the others followed suit.

The matter of finding a son-in-law and getting married was temporarily put aside due to Sun Hanzhou's arrival.

The newly appointed scholar, a Jinshi (a successful candidate in the highest imperial examinations), brought up the academic problems of his children, saying, "Mingyi can try taking the exam next year."

When it came to Jiang Mingyi's future, Gu An'an immediately became concerned, "Isn't next year a bit early?"

This child will only be twelve years old next year.

She had only been studying systematically for half a year, and if he took the exam so early, she was worried that he would not do well and it would damage Jiang Mingyi's confidence.

Of course, being an outsider, she didn't fully understand the imperial examination system, but in the end, she still asked Jiang Mingyi, "Yi'er, what do you think?"

Seeing the person who was so eager to inquire, Sun Hanzhou had to admit that although she was just a woman, she was extremely reasonable and understanding, which alone made her superior to many men.

Jiang Mingyi met the somewhat worried gaze, his expression extremely calm. "The master said I can try it first, and I'd like to give it a try."

If he can't even get past this first hurdle, then all those years of studying have been for nothing.

"Alright, you're still young, you'll have plenty of opportunities. Even if you don't pass the exam, it's okay, we can fill in the gaps and try again."

As they were talking, the waiter came over, removed the fruit, and began serving the dishes.

Of course, a jar of the finest Zhuangyuanhong wine would be indispensable.

Upon seeing the Zhuangyuan Hong wine, Sun Hanzhou was slightly taken aback, and after a long while, he finally spoke, "This is truly excellent wine."

"I thought this was a ceremony to celebrate the apprenticeship, so I wanted to bring good luck."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Mingyi glanced at Gu An'an silently, but remained silent.

Jiang Mingzhu laughed, "Brother, Mother has high hopes for you, so you must work hard and become the top scholar so that we can also share in your glory."

“Mingyi is as resolute as a rock and will surely achieve success in the imperial examinations. Sister Gu and Zhu’er, you can rest assured.”

Gu An'an particularly liked Chen Bei's words, after all, this young man had been taught by a great Confucian scholar since childhood, so he had some discernment.

On this rare good day, Gu An'an allowed the children to have a little wine. Remembering that Chen Bei had drunk too much and talked nonsense last night, Gu An'an made a request to him, "You can only have one drink."

Upon hearing this, the young master of the Chen family wore a bitter expression on his face. "Alright, then I'll have a drink to share in Mingyi and the others' joy."

When these words reached Fu Lingshu's ears, she felt quite uncomfortable.

I don't know what the Chen family was thinking, but they actually let Chen Bei mingle with these common people.

You should know that he is a young master from a prestigious family.

How could she lower herself like this? Fu Lingshu felt extremely awkward.

It was as if he himself had been dragged into this marketplace, and that he was disgracing the reputation of his Minister's mansion.

While the others were enjoying themselves with clinking glasses, Fu Lingshu felt quite uncomfortable.

Just as she was feeling conflicted, she heard that clear voice again, "Mother, Old Man Tian might be going out again. This time I want to go out with him."

Gu An'an was taken aback. "Did you say where we're going and how long the trip will take?"

"They haven't said yet, but they'll take good care of me, Mother, so don't worry."

Fu Lingshu had met Jiang Mingxu at Doctor Zheng's place and knew that he was a disciple of the two divine doctors.

Upon hearing this, Fu Lingshu suddenly felt uneasy. "Doctor Zheng is going out? He hasn't finished treating me yet..."

Her face is showing improvement during the treatment.

How could Doctor Zheng just leave like that?

Jiang Mingxu blinked when he heard this. "Are you going to stop us from going out too? You're so nosy."

What a beautiful day it was, but I had to run into this woman who's making me unhappy.

Jiang Mingxu's actions were somewhat deliberate.

Tian Bu'er didn't mention going out, but he would tell her later.

Old Man Tian would definitely agree to anything I asked for.

As for treating this sarcastic woman, he didn't care at all.

Gu An'an had no idea that the Third Young Master Ming had already started to be "meticulous about every little thing," and she felt somewhat uneasy when she suddenly heard about it.

"Then I'll go ask about it later."

"He wouldn't let me tell you, saying I'm not a baby who can't live without my mother?"

Gu An'an was both amused and exasperated by this remark, "You weren't that old to begin with."

A mother worries when her son travels a thousand miles.

Jiang Mingxu is a smart child, but he is still a child who hasn't even turned six yet.

How could Gu An'an not be worried?

Sun Hanzhou, however, offered a few words of praise: "Madam Gu need not worry. Your son is exceptionally intelligent and well-liked. He will not suffer any losses when he goes out."
