Spring Girl's Notes

The old man fell asleep at the beginning of the day on the eve of the New Year's Eve, and he still didn't wake up at dusk on the second day of the Lunar New Year.

The whole Gu family gathered at Sanfang's side.

Except for the elder Gu Yantao.

He heard that the old man was dying and was jumping.

He had never believed that the old man could predict his own life and death before, so he didn't pay attention to this matter.

Now, seeing that the old man was really dying, Gu Yantao panicked.

He really didn't want to go back to his hometown Ding You, but he didn't dare to be unfilial.

This whole day, he was looking for disciples and Qingkes to discuss countermeasures.

As for the third room of the Gu family, everyone had their own concerns, and no one asked why the old man didn't come...

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

Song Pan'er had no choice but to comfort him first, let him go out for a walk, calm down his emotions, and don't provoke everyone to feel more uncomfortable.

Gu Yanzhen went out first.

It was very cold outside, and the biting cold wind hit her face like ice knives.

He walked into the garden, the more he thought about it, the more he felt sore, and wept silently for a while.

When he came back, his eyes were even redder.

Gu Jinzhi glanced 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 first and second rooms, the third room has a deeper relationship with the old man.

Seeing Song Pan'er's mother and daughter like this, the eldest lady's eyes sparkled.She wiped her tears with a handkerchief and cheered herself up.

She shed such a tear.The others, whether they were sincere or pretending, all started to cry.

The second lady cried aloud.

The eldest lady scolded in a low voice: "What is this for? Crying and crying in the first month, is it bad luck or not?"

The second lady didn't dare to cry immediately.

After a while, there was an update.

It's almost curfew in town.

Song Pan'er stood up, and said to the first madam, the second madam, and the second master: "Why don't you go back first? The old man is here, and we are..."

The lady thought for a while, then nodded.

She took everyone back to the old house.

Arrived home.The second wife and the second master hid in the inner room and talked.

The two of them were undoubtedly worried about what would happen to the old man's title.

At the beginning, the old man invited the old man to be his son.Now that the Elder Master has conferred the title of Lord Marquis, he certainly does not need to inherit the title of Duke Cheng.

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

It's just that this requires the old man to write a letter in person.

If the old man fell asleep in one sleep.The matter of asking for the seal was not completed, so is the title returned to the uncle?

"Why don't you go and ask?" The second lady said to the second master, "The old man even counts when he will die. Is it possible that he didn't think of such a big matter as a title? Maybe he has already been granted a title, but I don't know... "

"How do you ask?" the second master said. "The officials of the Manchu Dynasty are not from the eldest brother. They just want to curry favor with the eldest brother. Let's go here to find out the news, and the eldest brother will know immediately. He still thinks that we are only thinking about the title of the old man. If it spreads out, the reputation is not good. The eldest brother must blame us of."

We were all thinking about it originally, the second lady complained.

But what the second master meant, he should be secretive, and he has to be secretive.

Things are not settled.No one can offend.

Although Concubine De is Erfang's biological daughter, Erfang can't afford to offend anyone.

This made the second master feel that he was useless.

His desire to get the title of the old man's viscount is also stronger.

——*——*——

Until the early morning of the third day.The old man finally woke up.

He called Huaqin.

Huaqin hadn't slept for several days and was dozing off at the door.

Hearing the shout, he jumped up immediately.

It wasn't just him who was alarmed, Gu Yanzhen, Song Pan'er, 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, it was still dark, and Gu Yanzhen's family was here, so he asked, "Why are you all here so early in the morning?"

His voice was weak.

"Father, you have been asleep for three days..." Gu Yanzhen choked up and said.

The old man was like a bright mirror in his heart, he smiled and said, "I'm so tired, I want to sleep more. I'm old, and I can't compare with you young people. You've been here for three days?"

Song Pan'er nodded: "Yes, Dad, you scared us."

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

This is to explain the funeral.

Gu Yanzhen let out a wow and burst into tears.

The old man frowned.

Gu Jinzhi also cried.

Brother Xuan and Brother Xiu watched their father and sister cry, and they also opened their mouths to cry.

Crying resounded in the room for a while.

Huaqin is also full of tears.

Song Pan'er persuaded this and that, but no one paid any attention to her.She felt so sore in her heart that it hurt more and more, and she was afraid that the old man would be angry, so she endured it again and again, but she still couldn't hold it back.

The old man looked at them helplessly.

He didn't stop them and let them cry.

In the end, Gu Yanzhen stopped first, knelt down in front of the old man, sobbed and said: "Father, your medical skills are so good, if you feel uncomfortable anywhere, use some medicine. Don't talk about being depressed, my son will serve you to enjoy the blessing..."

The old man smiled.

"Get up quickly." The old man didn't comfort Gu Yanzhen either, but said lightly, "I still want to sleep for a while. At noon, you all call me for dinner."

Then he waved his hand and let them all go out.

Gu Yanzhen knelt down and refused to get up.

The old man turned over, turned his back to him, fell asleep, and ignored him.

Song Pan'er persuaded Gu Yanzhen, and asked Gu Jinzhi to take the two younger brothers to go first.

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

Song Pan'er arranged for someone to inform everyone in the old house that they would come over to have lunch with the old man at noon.She went to give orders to the kitchen herself.Prepare meals.

She can't be free.

As for Gu Jinzhi and Gu Yanzhen, nothing happened.This morning, their father and daughter were very difficult.

The people who went to the old house came back and said that the first and second masters would be there in a while.

Sure enough, within a cup of tea, the people from the old house hurried over.

Elder Master Gu Yantao turned pale.

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

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

The old man's face became more and more ugly.

He resisted not saying anything.

The eldest lady asked about the situation.The second lady came up to ask.

Song Paner said one by one.

The maids brought tea, but everyone didn't bother to drink it, and asked Song Pan'er and Gu Yanzhen questions in one go.

The elder sister-in-law who was confinement and the third sister-in-law with a big belly called Gu Jinzhi to the warm pavilion and asked her carefully what was going on.

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

After Gu Jinzhi said a few words, his voice choked up.

She cried like a child.

Gu Chenzhi rarely saw Gu Jinzhi cry.

Gu Jinzhi most of the time.Acted very mature and sensible.This time she looked like a doll, crying as soon as she opened her mouth, which showed that she was really sad.

Thinking of the old man's imminent death, who wouldn't feel sad?

Being cried by one of Gu Jin made them feel even more uncomfortable.

Lin Manjing gently hugged Gu Jinzhi.Softly comfort her.

"Isn't grandfather awake?" Third Mistress Xia said, "Seventh Sister, don't be sad. Maybe it was a false alarm."

Gu Jinzhi knew very well that this time it was impossible to be a false alarm.

With tears in her eyes, she still nodded and accepted the comfort of three women.

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

In the end, the old man came.

Lunch is served in the flower hall.

There are two large round tables in the flower hall.There is no screen, and there is no distinction between men and women.A table of adults.A table for the children.

During the meal, the old man didn't say anything.

It was very quiet at the dinner table.

After everyone had eaten, the maids took away the bowls and served tea.

The old man took a sip of tea before he said, "I don't really want to disappoint you for the New Year's Eve. It's just that my body won't be able to survive when the oil is exhausted. I'm afraid it will happen tonight. gone."

As soon as these words came out, there was a dead silence.

Even the old man felt sad in his heart.

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

He didn't answer.

If the old man 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 I have nothing left for you, so just leave a few rules. From the beginning of my generation, we men of the Gu family have no sons and daughters, and no relatives. , only forty childless can be placed in a side room."

As soon as these words came out, Gu Yanzhen felt uncomfortable.

The old man himself has no concubine, no concubine, and no evil son.The elder master and the second master are even more so.

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

Gu Yanzhen was embarrassed.

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

Everyone didn't look at Gu Yanzhen and Gu Xiuzhi, but only looked at the old man.

"...Daughter of the Gu family, don't marry again." The old man continued.

It is the mainstream concept in this era that women should be faithful and never remarry, so these words of the old man are nothing special to the daughter of the Gu family.

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

But no one refuted him.

For the old man, not taking concubines is not difficult, he has no special interest in women.

"That's all." The old man said, "If you are willing to listen to these words, you can engrave them in the ancestral hall as a family motto. If you don't want to listen, just treat them as the old man's nonsense." After the old man finished speaking, he stood up, Said, "Let's go, sister Jin and Brother Chen come over."

After all, he walked out by himself.

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

The second lady looked at the back of the old man, a little anxious.

Why did the matter of the title end without talking about it?

She winked at the second master.

The second master didn't dare to talk to her, for fear of being noticed by the elder master.
