The news of Lao Ye Zi's impending death spread throughout the Gu family in just two days.

  Gu Yanwen didn't believe it and ran to ask Old Master.

  The old man was annoyed and said, "I'm not an old monster, I'll die when I die! What's there to ask about?"

  Is it really?

  Gu Yanwen burst into tears at once.

  At such a great age, in front of his daughter and servant, he burst into tears: "...... I haven't become a scholar yet, I haven't brought glory to our family, I haven't served you well..."

  The old man saw him like this and didn't care about his image, wanting to scold him a few words.

  But in the end, he softened and swallowed his words.

  Gu Yanwen cried for half a day and also brought Gu Jinzhi to tears.

  She didn't make a sound, silently wiping away her tears.

  The old man regretted telling them too early.

  Out with the old and in with the new. The elderly have passed on, children have arrived, but family and surname will still be passed down from generation to generation. What's there to be sad about?

  This news also spread to the old house.

  The old master didn't think much of it and coldly snorted: "He won't die until a year later, how can you know now? A bunch of nonsense, who knows what kind of scheme you're cooking up."

  Then he thought of his old father's death and that he would have to wear mourning for him and return home to observe the customary period of mourning, which made him feel annoyed.

  This old man has indeed been against Guo Xiang all his life!

  The old man was gritting his teeth.

  However, since Your Majesty trusts himself so much now, he should "seize the emotions" and leave his own heart, which would make Cui Xian's heart feel a little more at ease.

  His resentment towards Lao Yezi has added another layer.

  That old man would die at an inopportune time.

  Madam and Young Master Gu Zhen were both worried.

  "We'll go to Sanfang tomorrow and pay respects to your grandfather." The old lady said to Gu Zhen after the old master left for court.

  Gu Zhenzhi agreed.

  The second house also heard about it.

  The second lady has been very unhappy these days.

  She wanted to go to the Yuan's house during the New Year to ask for some money to spend. As a result, she was found out by Madame Dai. Although Madame Dai did not scold her, she told Second Master about it.

  The second master scolded the second lady severely.

  The second lady's own daughter, the only unmarried fifth girl, was also taken away by the first lady to raise. The two married daughters were not close to her either. She was scolded by the second master and lost face at home, so she became reckless and lay in bed all day, beating chickens and cursing dogs.

  It's said that the old man might be dying, and the second wife immediately jumped up.

  As soon as the old master dies, the title of Guo Gong will be passed down.

  The Second Master was granted a noble title, and the Second Mistress also received an imperial edict.

  At that time, her status in the family will surpass Song Tan'er's.

  Thinking of this, the two madams were very excited and hurriedly called people to serve her to dress up and went to the big madam's courtyard.

  She looked sorrowful and asked the madam: "...... I heard that the old master is no longer doing well, is it true?" After speaking, her voice was a bit choked.

  The madam saw her ask abruptly. Her emotions changed stiffly again. So she explained to her: "No, it was the old man himself who took his pulse and said that he only had one year of yang life left..."

  The two ladies' eyes immediately lit up.

  Can I still affirm how many years of life I have left?

  She heard it for the first time.

  That is to say, whether he died or not is still unknown?

  The excitement in her heart suddenly decreased by more than half.

  "We're going to see Grandfather tomorrow," said the mistress. "If you want to go too, just let me know and I'll arrange for carriages so we can all leave together."

  Of course I want to go!

  The second lady also wanted to see what the old man looked like now, she nodded hastily.

  At night, she also told this "good news" to the second master.

  The two old men also hated each other in their hearts.

  At that time, the second master was in charge of the Gu's Hundred Herbs Hall, although it wasn't very prosperous, there was a steady flow of silver.

  He lost tens of thousands of taels of silver and the old man got so angry that he closed down the medicine shop!

  It is worth knowing that in those years, Gu's Baicao Hall received more than 10 million taels of silver every year from the imperial pharmacy.

  It's like picking up money, no need to do anything.

  At that time, the second master was very impressive. No matter which brothel or wine shop he went to, the girls, madams, and waiters all tried their best to fawn on him?

  Because of using a few fake medicines, it can be easily covered up.

  The old man was afraid that the emperor would blame him, delaying his own affairs in the Tai Hospital, so he reported this matter to the emperor himself and also implicated the palace's offerings, closing the Baicao Hall.

  The two old men had no other means of making a living, and their lives suddenly fell from being gods to becoming beggars.

  He was so desperate at that time that he had thought of dying.

  He knelt down beside the old man and begged him to spare his life.

  The old man said, "If you have any ability, go out and make a career for yourself! Originally, you were in charge of Baicao Hall, but you've been mixing and eating without making any achievements. I won't say anything more about that. But what you shouldn't do is to cheat and deceive! You're not harming yourself, it's the Gu family's hundred-year-old golden signboard that you're hurting! Do you know how much heart and blood our ancestors accumulated to get today's reputation? Several generations used their lives to fight for fame, but you're ruining it like this! I won't let our ancestors' hard work be destroyed by an unfilial son like you!"

  The old man's face was stern and he didn't care about the second master's crying plea.

  "What's this about a Gu family golden signboard? Bah, you're just thinking of yourself! You're afraid to take responsibility, coward, can't even take care of your own son!"

  Among the friends of the two old men, who did not rely on their fathers to find them jobs?

  Your father is useless, yet you're making so many excuses for him!

  The old man listened to his words and flew into a rage, slapping him heavily!

  The father and son became enemies after that fight.

  The old man had three sons, but only the youngest was weak and could tolerate his father's eccentric temper!

  Now this strange old man is finally going to die.

  The two old men also sneered.

  He said to the second lady: "You go and see. If he really dies, it's a good thing. Occupying the toilet without taking a dump..."

  The old man is dead, and the title should be passed down to him.

  The second lady was also delighted.

  The next day, everyone in the old mansion came except for the eldest and second eldest masters.

  The old man did not see them at all, and let Huaqin block the door, not allowing them to step into his study.

  Then he also called Gu Yanwen in and scolded: "If it's not peaceful here either, I'll move out!"

  Gu Yunzhen was startled and hastily went out to intercept. He intercepted all of them, including the first lady, the second lady, the eldest young master, the third young master, the fifth young miss, the eldest madam, the third madam.

  Although I haven't seen Old Master, I can still ask about his situation from Song Deng'er.

  Since hearing Gu Jinzhi say that Old Master's lifespan is coming to an end, Song Pan'er looked at Old Master and felt he was unusually thin and frail, her heart aching with sorrow.

  "It's all right." Song Xun'er said perfunctorily, "Nothing's wrong. Maybe the old man was just in a bad mood and spoke nonsense..."

  The second lady paused for a moment. In the end, she still couldn't help but ask: "I've heard that when people are about to die, they will regain their vitality... Is the old master more spirited than usual?"

  Song Pan'er couldn't help but glare at her.

  The second lady was also stared at by her with great displeasure.

  The lady is acting as a mediator in between.

  It's rare for everyone in the old mansion to gather together, so Song Pan'er ordered the large kitchen to prepare food and invited everyone to stay for a meal.

  Young Master Gu Chen thought of something and saw that Gu Jin was not there, so he got up quietly and slipped out to find Gu Jin.

  The third young master saw him slipping away and followed suit.

  "Big brother, where are you going?" asked Third Young Master of Eldest Young Master.

  "I'll ask Seventh Sister to go," said Young Master. "She's been with Grandfather the longest, so she should know more than Third Aunt. Do you want to go?"

  "Alright." said Third Master.

  Third Master likes his grandfather very much.

  He lost his mother when he was young. His stepmother treated him poorly, so he often sneaked into the old man's study. The old man saw him but didn't chase him away. He let him pile up his inkstones and play for a whole day.

  The old man went to court. Gu Qingzi was also in the old man's study.

  Afterwards, every time he came back from court, the old man would casually bring some pastries from outside and give them to him to eat.

  The old man was not talkative and rarely spoke with Gu Qingzi.

  Ke Guo Qing still remembered those delicate and delicious pastries.

  From having memory until six years old before enlightenment, Gu Qingzhi was always messing around in Old Master's outer study.

  Everyone expresses concern in different ways. The old man never says anything, but Gu Qing knows that his grandfather loves him very much.

  Gu Jinzhi is reading in his own courtyard.

  Zhu Zhongjun sat opposite her, also holding a book and reading.

  The house is extremely quiet.

  When she heard the maid say that her two brothers had arrived, Gu Jinzhi hastily put down her book and went out to greet them.

  "Come and see Grandfather." Gu Chen explained to Gu Jin, "Grandfather won't let you in."

  Gu Jin understood clearly.

  She hastily ordered the maid to serve tea to the two brothers and asked them: "Are you the only ones who came?"

  "Almost everyone in the family has arrived." said San Ge Gu Qingzi.

  Gu Jinzhi nodded and let Yuhe go first to pay her respects. She would follow later to visit her aunts.

  "Jie Er, Grandfather said..." Gu Chen sat down, ignoring the tea in front of him, and asked Gu Jie, "How did he bring up the topic of his impending death?"

  Gu Jinzhi then explained the situation of that day once again.

  "...the family's medical skills, originally shouldn't be passed down to a daughter. But my grandfather didn't have any direct disciples, and seeing that I had some talent, he let me learn first, and then pass it down later." Gu Jin said, "I told him to take his time, but he said there wasn't enough time..."

  Qiu Qing's heart suddenly felt a pang of sadness and anger.

  It's totally different when I hear it from others and when I hear it from Gu Jin himself.

  It is said from others that there always exists a lucky chance.

  But now...

  There was a hint of mist in his eyes.

  Big brother Gu Zhen was thinking about something.

  The two brothers remained silent.

  Gu Jinzhi also didn't know what to say.

  Young lotus went to ask for Mrs. Gu's well-being and came back after a while, saying to Gu Jing: "Madam said she was just about to invite the young lady over to talk. Since there are two young masters here, it won't hurt to wait a bit. Young lady, when I just went out, fourth sister and fourth brother-in-law also arrived."

  Are people from the Yuan family here too?

  Is Mrs. Yuan's illness better now?

  Gu Jin nodded.

  "Come on, let's go sit down too." said Gu Zhen.

  The three brothers got up and went to the main hall.

  Most of the people in the family have come as expected.

  Yuan Yuye and Gu Shanzi were also unaware of this.

  They just came to thank Gu Jin for curing Mrs. Yuan's illness.

  "Jiayi has not yet recovered, and dare not see the wind." Yuan Yuye saw Gu Jin enter, and gave her two bows, saying, "When she is a bit better, she will definitely come to thank you in person!"
