Chapter 167(1/2)
The news that the old man might be about to be in the final deadline was spread in two days in the Gu family.
Gu Yanzhen didn't believe it, so he ran to ask the old man.
The old man was very upset and said, "I'm not an old monster, I'll die if I die! Is there anything to ask!"
Is it true?
Gu Yanzhen suddenly started to cry.
Such a big man cried in front of his daughter and servant: "——I haven't won the Jinshi yet, I haven't shined my family, and I haven't served you well yet..."
Seeing that he was so ignorant, the old man wanted to scold him.
But in the end, my heart softened and I endured my words.
Gu Yanzhen cried for a long time, causing Gu Jinzhi to cry too.
She didn't say anything, silently wiped her tears.
The old man regrets telling them early.
Go to the old and welcome the new, the old and the children come, and the family and surname will be passed down from generation to generation. What's so sad?
Why is birth, old age, sickness and death so common? Why is it so troublesome to get to them?
The news also reached the old house.
The master didn't care and snorted coldly: "I know now if I die a year later? I'm talking nonsense, but I don't know what I'm planning."
Then he thought that the old man died, so he had to worry and went home to observe the rules. He felt annoyed.
This old man has been against Gu Yantao all his life!
Gu Yantao gritted his teeth a little.
However, the emperor trusts himself like this now and he should "take away love" and leave his own heart. Gu Yantao's heart was relieved.
His resentment towards the old man was added to his slightest.
That old man would not choose a good time even if he died.
The eldest lady and the eldest young master Gu Chenzhi were worried.
"Let's go to the third room tomorrow and see your grandfather." When the eldest master went to court, the eldest lady asked Gu Chen's way.
Gu Chenzhi said it was OK.
The second room also heard about it.
The second wife has been very unhappy these days.
She wanted to go to Yuan's family to spend the New Year, but the eldest lady found out.
Although the eldest lady did not ridicule her, she told the second master.
The second master scolded the second wife fiercely.
The second wife's own daughter, the only unmarried fifth girl, was taken to raise by the eldest wife. The two married daughters did not kiss her. She was scolded by the second master and lost all her face at home. She was so fucked.
Give up and lie in bed all day long to beat chickens and scold dogs.
I heard that the old man might be dying, so the second wife got up with a bone ball.
As long as the old man dies, the title of Duke of the Kingdom will be passed down.
The second master is the winner and the second wife can also be given a title.
By then, her status at home will be able to surpass Song Pan'er.
Thinking of this, the second wife was very excited and hurriedly asked someone to serve her to wash and change clothes, and went to the eldest wife's yard.
She asked the eldest lady with a sad look: "I heard that it's not possible, but is it true?" After that, her voice was a little choked.
Seeing that her question was abrupt and her mood changed stiffly, the eldest lady explained to her: "No. It was the old man who took his own pulse and said that she only had one year of life..."
The second lady's eyes turned.
Can you still assert how long is your life?
She first heard about it.
That is to say, is it still unknown whether to die or not?
The excitement in her heart was immediately reduced by half.
"We'll go see the old man tomorrow." said the eldest lady, "If you want to go too, tell me. I can arrange a carriage and horse, and everyone will go out together."
Of course I want to go!
The second wife also wanted to see what the old man looked like now. She nodded quickly
Tonight she also told the second master the "good news".
The second master also hated the old man.
The second master was in charge of Gu's Hundred Herbs Hall, although it was not very glorious, but it was not short of money at hand.
He only lost hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, and the old man closed the medicine shop in anger!
You should know that in the Gu family’s Hundred Herbs Hall, every year, the imperial pharmacy in the palace was offered more than one million taels of silver.
Nothing is needed, it's like picking up money.
At that time, the second master was so angry. No matter which brothel restaurant he went to, the girl, the shopkeeper, the old shopkeeper, who would have tried to curry favor with him?
I just used a few fake medicines, which could be easily covered up.
However, the old man was afraid that the emperor would blame him, so he delayed his work in the Imperial Hospital. He reported this matter to the emperor himself, and even pushed the palace worship and locked up the Baicao Hall.
The second master had no means of making a living, and his life suddenly fell from a god to a beggar.
He had the desire to die at that time.
He knelt at the old man's feet and begged him to let him go.
But the old man said, "If you have a future, go and have a career on your own! You were in charge of Baicao Hall, and you were busy and waited for nothing to make, so I didn't say much. But you shouldn't be cheating! You didn't harm you
I am the golden sign of Gu's century-old family! Do you know how much effort my ancestors have spent to accumulate today's reputation? How many generations have tried to fight for their reputation, but you have practiced it like this! I can't let the ancestors' hard work be ruined by you
In the hands of an unfilial son!”
The old man had a strong face and ignored the second master's crying.
The second master finally said loudly: "What is Gu's golden sign? Bah, you are just for yourself! You are afraid of taking responsibility, a coward, and you can't even care about your own son!"
Among the friends the second master knows, who didn’t rely on his father to do errands for them?
My father is incompetent and still seeks so much to borrow!
After hearing his words, the old man was furious and slapped him hard and became enemies after he beat him.
Among the old man’s three sons, only the third son is cowardly and can tolerate the old man’s eccentric temper!
Now, this weird old man is finally going to die.
The second master also sneered and smiled.
He said to the second wife: "You go and have a look. It's really going to die, it's good to die. Take a hole and don't shit..."
The old man's title should be passed to him once he dies.
Second-tier people are also happy.
The next day, all the people in the old house came, except the eldest and second masters.
The old man disappeared, so he asked Huaqin to stop him at the door, not allowing them to step into their study.
Then he called Gu Yanzhen in and scolded: "If you don't have to be quiet here, I'll move out!"
Gu Yanzhen was startled and then hurried out to stop the eldest lady, the second lady, the eldest young master, the third young master, the fifth lady, the eldest grandma, the third grandma, the third grandma, the third grandma, all of them.
Although I haven't seen the old man, I can also ask about Mr. Song Paner.
Since hearing Gu Jinzhi's saying that the old man's life is about to end, Song Pan'er felt that he was extremely thin and felt sad when he saw him.
"It's okay." Song Paner said perfunctorily, "It's not sick or disaster. Maybe the old man is in a bad mood and is talking nonsense-..."
The second wife paused, and finally couldn't help asking: "I heard that when a person is about to die, he will look back..." Is the old man more energetic than usual?"
Song Pan'er couldn't help but glar at her.
The second wife was also displeased by her.
The eldest lady was just a peacemaker in the middle.
It was rare that the old house had such a complete range of people, so Song Pan'er ordered the kitchen to prepare meals and kept everyone for meals.
The eldest young master Gu Chenzhi remembered something, and when he saw that Gu Jinzhi was absent, he got up and sneaked out quietly to find Gu Jinzhi.
When the third young master saw that he had escaped, he followed him.
"Brother, what are you doing?" The third young master asked the eldest young master.
"I'll ask the Qimei to go." said the eldest young master, "She has been following her grandfather for the longest time, so she should know better than Aunt San. Do you want to go?"
