Mr. Song Yu, the old master of the Song family, was somewhat hesitant after being spoken to by Second Master Song Xi in a few words.

  In case Mr. Gu, the old master of the house, usually keeps a low profile, with his extraordinary medical skills, he really overshadowed Zhang Yuan, and Zhang Yuan was about to get angry!

  It's not that Zhang Yu didn't have a sense of measure, it's just that he was the number one person in Suzhou Xinglin, and his identity was extraordinary. The status of a divine doctor made him unable to lose.

  But is Old Master Gu's medical skills really that good?

  It seems that he, the good hands in the medical field, all subtly reveal a few points of ridicule?

  Is it jealousy that his medical skills are ordinary and can still be promoted to Tai Hospital?

  If someone were to refuse to take care of the family, that would be an insult to Old Master Gu! Old Master Gu is a close relative of Song Yu's, and as such, he is a senior. Just this one point alone makes it unacceptable for Song Yu to act in this way.

  The Song family is also a family of poetry and books, they can't do such an arrogant and unreasonable thing.

  Song Yu just hoped that the rumors in the world were true.

  The next day, Song Yu personally came to the door to welcome Mr. Gu, giving him great face.

  He first went to his sister's courtyard and asked his sister what it meant that their father had gone to see a doctor.

  Song Pan'er smiled with a hint of apology: "It's all my fault! Jin Jie followed the old master to learn medicine and has made some progress. I heard that Eldest Aunt was ill, so she went to visit her out of filial piety. But how could Second Aunt dare to take the prescription written by a child? It's not like it's a minor illness. She's been sick for so long, her body is weak, and she doesn't dare try random medicines... I can understand Second Aunt's concerns. Last night during idle chatter, I told the old master about it, and he immediately wanted to go see Second Aunt, probably thinking of standing up for Jin Jie. That old child..."

  Song Yu's smile and tears are both insincere.

  His feelings were tangled up for a whole night, but it turned out that at Old Master Gu's place, he was just playing along with the child.

  Song Yu shook his head and smiled: "Since it's like this, then please have the old master go to the mansion to sit for a while."

  Gu Yanzheng felt a bit embarrassed and asked Song Yu: "Didn't I trouble you?"

  "What a joke! I'm begging for it!" Song Yu laughed, "If it were an ordinary day, we wouldn't even be able to invite him! The old master is the imperial physician who treats the emperor and the empress dowager, and he's in charge of the Imperial Hospital. He's condescending to visit your sister-in-law, and we're already grateful."

  Sounds very impressive and convincing.

  Gu Yanwen smiled.

  Song Yu was an official outside, his words were natural and his appearance was elegant.

  Gu Yanzhong didn't take it seriously either.

  The maidservants have already gone to invite Gu Jinzhi and Gu Xuanzhi's younger sister and brother, who came to pay their respects to their uncle. Several people were chatting when Gu Xuanzhi ran over, excitedly shouting: "Big Uncle!"

  Song Yu picked up the child who had rushed over and laughed: "Good kid, you've grown taller again in just half a year!"

  The uncle and nephew were very affectionate.

  Gu Yanzheng coughed lightly on the side, hinting at Gu Xuanzhi to come over. You're already seven years old, don't behave so frivolously like a little kid.

  Boys should be steady in their behavior.

  Gu Xuanzhi heard his father's slight cough and his expression became more cautious, unsure of what to do.

  Song Yu smiled and put his nephew down, gently stroking his head. He knew that the Gu family was a prestigious and aristocratic clan with strict rules. Although the children were currently living in Yanling Fu, they would eventually return to the capital.

  He also couldn't ruin Gu Yanwen's family education.

  "Big Uncle, what fun things did you bring for me?" Gu Xuanzhi asked Song Yu with a raised face.

  Song Yu smiled again and rubbed his head, saying: "You've brought a lot! Will Brother Huan come with me to fetch them later?"

  He didn't bring any gifts this time. After receiving a letter from his eldest son, he learned that his wife was seriously ill and hurried back.

  He would always bring local toys or snacks for the kids whenever he came home.

  Gu Xuan was young and didn't know that this time was different from before, so he asked.

  Song Yu didn't want to dampen the child's enthusiasm, thinking that there were still some Suzhou specialties brought back during the New Year that hadn't been distributed yet, all piled up in the warehouse, and turned around to find one for Gu Xuanzhi.

  Song Pan'er, however, pretended to be serious and said to Gu Xuan: "You can't go to your uncle's house. Today is not a rest day, you still have to study! When the school is on holiday, mother will take you there."

  Gu Xuanzhi pouted and looked pitifully at his mother.

  Song Pan'er was unmoved.

  Gu Jinzhi arrived shortly after.

  She called out to her big uncle. It had only been during Chinese New Year that they last saw each other, and Song Yu hadn't changed much in the half year since then.

  Song Yu also said something like "Jin sister has grown taller".

  Song Pan'er saw that Gu Xuanzhi did not want to go to school, but instead wanted to go to his uncle's house, so she called his wet nurse to take him back to his room and send him to elementary school.

  Gu Xuan reluctantly pouted and followed the wet nurse away.

  Song Pan'er took a look at the alarm clock and estimated that Old Master should be getting up, so they went to Old Master's courtyard.

  Gu's family now lives in a house located in Ma Yuan Lane, which is also an old alley that has been around for many years. It was once the property of their great-grandfather.

  Most of the Gu family members live in Ma Yuan Lane.

  Gu Jinzhi's house is located at the end of the alley and occupies a large area.

  From where my parents live to where my grandfather lives, it takes at least two hours of walking.

  This is also one of the reasons why Gu Jin likes Yanling Fu.

  The place is big and quiet! In the capital, Cheng Guogong's mansion is small. The Jingyuan where Gu Suo's parents live is right next to Erbo's family, and any movement can be known by others, which is very inconvenient.

  Mr. Gu has already dressed up and is waiting to set off.

  Seeing Song Yu come in person to invite him, Mr. Gu nodded slightly, showing his satisfaction.

  Mr. Gu took out a purple sandalwood carved medical box, which was passed down from his ancestors and had always been carried with him.

  Since arriving in Yanling, Gu Yan had never seen the medical box again, and for a moment he felt a little moved. He personally came forward to help the old man carry it.

  Mr. Gu said, "Don't move!" Then he said to Gu Jin, "Jin sister, you carry it!"

  Song Yu glanced at Old Man Gu.

  The doctor went out to see a patient, and the apprentice carried the medical box. Song Yu also heard that Gu Jing was following Master Gu to learn medicine, he always thought Master Gu was joking, passing the days.

  Looking at Old Master Gu again, he didn't let his son carry the medical box, but instead wanted his granddaughter to come and carry it, which shows that the old master was indeed serious.

  Really treated Gu Jin as his own disciple!

  Ke Gujin is a girl, she will get married in the future!

  Song Yu looked at his younger sister Song Tan'er again.

  Song Pan'er was perplexed.

  Song Yu felt a sense of urgency in her heart: girls should be virtuous, skilled in speech and work, and good at managing the household. What is Gu Jia doing? Gu Jin's original personality was strange, no one liked to get along with her, and she already had a reputation as a foolish girl. If she continued to act so unorthodox, how would Jin be able to marry?

  Coincidentally, Gu Jingzhou's parents and grandfather didn't think much of it.

  Song Yu's mind was racing, but he didn't want to say anything directly, so he thought of waiting until his wife recovered and letting her talk to Song Pan'er. So he calmly invited Old Man Gu to come home with him.

  The old man's medical box was very heavy, and Gu Jinzhi had a bit of trouble lifting it.

  Song Pan'er couldn't bear it and wanted to go forward to help several times.

  But looking at Lao Ye's solemn face, he didn't dare again.

  Ma Yuan Lane is about two quarters away from Qing Guo Lane.

  When they arrived, Zhang Yuan was taking Madame Song's pulse.

  Seeing everyone coming in, Zhang Yuan stood up.

  Song Yu introduced Zhang Yuan to the Gu family members, and then introduced the Gu family members to Zhang Yuan.

  Zhang Yuan gave a bow to Old Man Gu: "Old Gu, I've long admired your great name!"

  The old man glanced at Zhang Yuan, slightly nodded his head, and had a very cold attitude.

  Zhang Yuan suddenly felt embarrassed, silently scolding the old man in his heart. You're really putting on a show for me! I'm at least a well-known figure in Jiangnan, don't tell me you've never heard of me!

  He felt indignant towards Old Man Gu in his heart.
