The old man fell asleep from the night of New Year's Eve to the evening of New Year's Eve, but still had not woken up.

The Gu family gathered at the third room.

Except for the master Gu Yantao.

He heard that the old man was not good enough and was jumping.

Before, he had never believed that the old man could predict his life and death, so he did not care about this matter.

Now, seeing that the old man was really out of reach, Gu Yantao panicked.

He didn't want to return to his hometown to worry, but he didn't dare to be unfilial.

All day long, he was discussing countermeasures with the Qingke.

As for the third room of the Gu family, everyone has their own thoughts, and no one asks the master why he doesn't come...

Gu Yanzhen went in and called the old man twice, but the old man didn't respond, but he felt relieved. Gu Yanzhen felt uncomfortable and his eyes turned red regardless of the presence of the whole family.

Song Pan'er had to comfort him first, let him go out for a walk, stabilize his emotions, and not make everyone feel even more uncomfortable.

Gu Yanzhen went out first.

It was very cold outside, and the biting cold wind slammed straight into the face, like an ice knife.

When he walked into the garden, the more he felt sad, he cried alone.

When I came back, my eyes became redder.

Gu Jinzhi looked at his father and couldn't stop crying.

Song Pan'er had no choice but to hold her daughter in her arms, and her eyes were slightly wet.

Compared with the big and second rooms, the third room has a deeper relationship with the old man.

The eldest lady saw Song Paner and his daughter like this, and her eyes were filled with water. She wiped her tears with a veil and forced herself to cheer up.

She burst into tears. No matter whether it was sincere or pretending, the others started to cry.

The second wife cried out loudly.

The eldest lady whispered: "What is this for? Is it so angry in the first month of the year? Is it bad luck?"

The second wife immediately stopped crying.

After a while, the update started.

A curfew is coming in the city.

Song Pan'er stood up and said to the eldest lady, the second lady, the second master and others: "How about you go back first? We are there in the old man..."

The eldest lady thought about it and nodded.

She took everyone back to the old house.

When he got home, the second wife hid in the inner room and talked to the second master.

The two of them were undoubtedly worried about what to do if the old man was given the title.

At that time, the old man asked the Grand Master to be the crown prince. Now that the Grand Master has been granted the Marquis, he definitely does not need to inherit the title of Duke.

Then, according to the laws, the old man's title can be left to the second son.

However, this requires the old man to write a letter himself.

If the old man fell asleep and the matter of asking for a title was not completed, would the title be inherited by the uncle?

"Or why go and ask?" The second wife said to the second master, "The old man even counted when he died. Did he not expect such a big title? Maybe he had already asked for a title and it was unknown...

”

"How do you ask?" said the second master. "The officials in the court are not the eldest brother's people. They just want to curry favor with the eldest brother. Let's go to inquire about the news, and the eldest brother will know immediately. He also thinks that we are all concerned about the old man's title, and it will be spread.

If your reputation is not good, my brother will definitely blame us."

We were just thinking about it all, the second wife complained.

But the second master's meaning must be hidden, but it must be hidden.

Things have not been decided. No one can offend.

Although Concubine De is the daughter of the second wife, no one can afford to offend the second wife.

This made the second master feel very cowardly.

His desire to get the old master's title was even stronger.

——*—*——

It was not until the early morning of the third year of junior high school that the old man finally woke up.

He called to draw the piano.

Huaqin has not been asleep for several days and is standing at the door and taking a nap.

Hearing the shout, he jumped up immediately.

Not only was he alarmed, but Gu Yanzhen, Song Paner, Gu Jinzhi and others who were resting outside were all alarmed.

Several people entered the inner room.

The old man looked at the sky outside, and it was still dark, and Gu Yanzhen and his family were all here, and asked, "Why are you all here early in the morning?"

He has no strength in his voice.

"Dad, you have been sleeping for three days..." Gu Yanzhen said choking.

The old man felt like Mingjing, and smiled and said, "I am so tired that I want to sleep more. When I get old, I can't compare with you young people. Are you here for three days?"

Song Paner nodded: "Yes, Dad, you scared us."

"It's okay, go back." The old man said, thinking for a while, and then said, "I'll come again at noon. Send someone to the old house and say it, and call the children all to come. I have a few words to tell them.

explain."

This is to explain the funeral.

Gu Yanzhen burst into tears with a loud voice.

The old man frowned.

Gu Jinzhi also started crying.

Brother Xuan and Brother Xiu cried as they watched their father and sister, and they also burst into tears.

Crying sounded in the room for a moment.

The face of painting the piano was filled with tears.

Song Pan'er persuaded this and then that, but no one paid attention to her. She felt so sad that she felt more and more painful, and she was afraid that the old man would be angry, so she could not bear it after enduring it again and again.

The old man looked at them helplessly.

He didn't stop him and let them cry.

Finally, Gu Yanzhen stopped first, knelt in front of the old man, and sobbed, "Dad, you have such good medical skills. If you feel uncomfortable, use some medicine. Don't say anything depressed, your son will serve you and enjoy your happiness..."

The old man smiled.

"Get up quickly." The old man did not comfort Gu Yanzhen, but said lightly, "I want to sleep for a while. At noon, you come and call me for dinner."

Then he waved his hand and asked them all to go out.

Gu Yanzhen knelt down and refused to get up.

The old man turned over, turned his back to him, and fell asleep without paying attention.

Song Pan'er advised Gu Yanzhen, and asked Gu Jinzhi to take his two younger brothers away first.

Everyone came out of the old man's study and went to the main courtyard.

Song Pan'er arranged for someone to inform the people in the old house and came to accompany the old man for dinner at noon. She went to the kitchen in person to prepare the meal.

She has no time to spare.

And Gu Jinzhi and Gu Yanzhen had nothing to do. That morning, it was very difficult for them to suffer.

When the person who went to the old house came back, he said that the eldest master and the second master would arrive in a while.

Sure enough, in less than a cup of tea, the people from the old house arrived in a hurry.

The eldest master Gu Yantao's face turned pale.

The second master pretended to be sad, but he could still see that he was a little happy.

"The old man is asleep again and said that we will have dinner together at noon." Song Pan'er said to everyone.

The master's face became even more ugly.

He held back and said nothing.

The eldest lady asked about the situation. The second lady followed her up and asked.

Song Paner said it one by one.

The maids brought the tea, but everyone didn't bother to drink it. They asked Song Paner and Gu Yanzhen questions in a slight manner.

The eldest sister-in-law who was out of confinement and the third sister-in-law who was erect and her big belly called Gu Jinzhi to the warm room and asked her carefully what was going on.

The eldest brother and the third brother also came over to listen.

Gu Jinzhi said a few words, and his voice choked.

She cried like a child.

Gu Chenzhi rarely sees Gu Jinzhi crying.

Most of the time, Gu Jinzhi acted very maturely and sensible. This time she looked like a baby and she burst into tears when she spoke, which shows that she was really sad.

Who is not sad when he thinks that the old man is about to die?

After being cryed by Gu Jinyi, several people felt even more uncomfortable.

Lin Manjing gently hugged Gu Jinzhi and comforted her softly.

"Didn't my grandfather wake up?" said Xia, the third grandmother, "Seventh sister, don't be sad. Maybe there is a false alarm."

Gu Jinzhi knew very well that this time it could not have been a false alarm.

She was tearful and still nodded, accepting the comfort of three ***s.

After saying something for a long time, when it was lunch time, Song Pan'er sent someone to see if the old man was awake.

As a result, the old man came.

Lunch is placed in the flower hall.

There were two large round tables in the flower hall. There was no screen, no distinction between men and women. The adults were one table and the children were one table.

During the meal, the old man said nothing.

The dining table was very quiet.

After everyone had dinner, the maids took down the bowls and chopsticks and served tea.

The old man took a sip of tea and then said, "It's the New Year, I don't really want you to disappoint you. But my body is so oily that I can't stand it anymore. I'm afraid I'll have tonight.

Go away.”

As soon as this sentence came out, it suddenly became silent.

Even the master suddenly felt sad.

No matter how much I hate the old man, he is also a father. When I was young, I still had some happy times. Those joys have long been put in the corner of my heart. Now, the old man is about to die, and those dusty old things have been revealed by the master.

He did not answer the conversation.

If the master doesn't speak, it will be even more difficult for others to speak.

The old man didn't wait for everyone to say anything, and continued, "I'm dead, and there's nothing left for you, so I'll leave a few rules. From this generation, our Gu family's men are not sons and evil, and they don't kiss Teng people.

, Only if you have no children can you be placed in the side room."

As soon as these words were said, Gu Yanzhen was immediately uncomfortable.

The old man himself has no concubines, no concubines, and no evil sons. The eldest and second masters are even more so.

The only one in the family who has a concubine and a concubine's son is Gu Yanzhen.

Gu Yanzhen was embarrassed.

Gu Xiuzhi also understood this and lowered his head, not daring to look at the old man.

However, everyone did not look at Gu Yanzhen and Gu Xiuzhi, but only looked at the old man.

"... Gu's daughter, you will marry again." The old man continued.

It is the mainstream concept of women who want to be loyal and marry each other, so the old man’s words are nothing special to the daughter of the Gu family.

On the contrary, the one who does not take concubines is somewhat inconsistent with the social atmosphere.

But no one refuted him.

For the master, it is not difficult not to take a concubine, and he has no special interest in women.

"That's all." said the old man, "If you want to listen to these words, you can engrave them in the ancestral temple as a family motto. If you don't want to listen, just treat the old man's nonsense." After the old man said, he stood up,

He said, "It's all gone, Sister Jin and Brother Chen come here."

After saying that, he walked out by himself.

Gu Jinzhi and Gu Chenzhi hurriedly got up and followed him out.

The second lady looked at the old man's back and was a little anxious.

Why did the title end without saying it?

She winked at the second master.

The second master did not dare to pay attention to her, for fear that the eldest master would see something strange.
