Mrs. Gu has never been a high-profile person, and because he had assisted Emperor Xiao Che of Qing'an to ascend to the throne, he had a high position, so he has always been taboo about "forming parties for personal gain".

Today is not a birthday banquet, why is it still so crowded?

Xue Chi was the first to come back to the Grand Master's Mansion. Seeing this lively scene, both eyes widened, and when he got out of the car, he was full of amazement.

But Lu Jinxi had some doubts in her heart, so she waved her hand and asked Qingque to inquire.

After a while, the blue bird came back.

"Madam, the servants have asked about those people, and they are all from the palaces of dignitaries and nobles in the capital to give gifts. It is said that Master Taishi fell ill last night. It was very serious. He didn't get up in the morning, and he didn't go to the morning."

"Sick again?"

Lu Jinxi was stunned for a moment, a little surprised.

A month ago, it was said that the old lady was ill, because she went to the Jokhang Temple and was frozen by the snow on the mountain, and her legs were sick. But on the day of the birthday banquet, when she saw it from a distance, she only felt that this grand master was quite handsome, and she should have been raised almost.

And she gave the recipe for the ghost hand to open again, it is reasonable to say that the problem is not big.

It was only a few days ago that he was sick again.

The two dark eyebrows frowned slightly. She only felt strange, but she remembered that Gu Juefei asked Xue Chi to come to Taishi's mansion today, so she muttered: "Is it because you want to take care of the Taishi..."

"Mother?"

Xue Chi stood beside her with her book bag in her arms. Seeing that his mother hadn't moved for a long time, she couldn't help but ask.

Only then did Lu Jinxi come back to her senses, but her mind had changed.

She was just going to send Xue Chi to Japan today, and she did some courtesy along the way. But now Taishi Gu can be regarded as an elder of Lu Jinxi. She is sick and she is in the house again, so she can't turn a deaf ear.

So she thought for a while, then said to Xue Chi, "I'll ask your sister Qingque to follow you. First, let someone take you to Mr.'s side. My mother is going to see the old master, and then I will meet the master's wife. You Go by yourself, but be obedient."

Sooner or later, Xue had passed the time to compete with her mother a while ago, and felt that his Mr. Gu was really a formidable person, so he valued apprenticeship today.

Hearing Lu Jinxi's exhortation, he nodded quickly: "Mother, don't worry, I will do well today."

Seeing him like this, Lu Jinxi was relieved, and then he brought Xue Chi, Qingque and Bailu together to the side door and handed over the greeting.

Gu Juefei arranged for someone to meet him at the door early in the morning.

As soon as heard it was the wife of the general's mansion and the young master, even if someone came to lead people inside. It's just that Lu Jinxi didn't follow, and instead asked someone to report to the Grand Master's wife.

At that time, Mrs. Tang was in Gu Chengqian's house, holding a bowl of medicine in his hand, blowing lightly, with a worried look on his face: "The imperial doctor said that your illness is not serious, but that you are in a hurry. Drink this medicine and you will be smooth. Anger, calm down in the future, it will be fine."

calmly?

Once Zaifu Gu Chengqian was lying on the couch, half covering his wrinkled eyelids. Although only one night has passed, he looks a lot older, his face is gloomy, and he even has a lot of gray hair.

Hearing Tang Shi's words, he lifted his eyelids, looked at the medicine bowl, and slowly closed his eyes again.

When Tang Shi saw this, his heart was filled with panic.

God knows how dangerous the situation was last night, and the whole house was so frightened that they dared not sleep. It was not until the sky was dawning that the imperial doctor said that the situation had stabilized, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

At that time, she remembered what happened before and after the question.

Gu Juefei again.

This eldest son, the eldest son of Gu Chengqian's original wife.

Under her repeated questioning, Wan Baochang was willing to reveal:

The old lady was in the ancestral hall in the middle of the night yesterday, waiting for Gu Juefei, who returned late. What the father and son talked about, even Wan Baochang himself did not know.

But after he looked at it, the old lady had fallen to the ground...

Tang Shi is a continuation of the string, no matter how big his heart is, it is impossible to see Gu Juefei from the bottom of his heart.

Not to mention, this eldest son is so good that it is frightening.

With him on this day, she couldn't breathe for a day, and only felt that the sky above Gu Mansion was covered with a thick layer of haze.

Gu Chengqian and Gu Juefei are at odds, she is clear, but she doesn't know the more specific reasons.

Six years ago, when Gu Juefei left, she breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that her mother and son would finally have a bright future; six years later, when Gu Juefei came back, she was unhappy, but she knew she couldn't do anything.

An existence like Gu Juefei is no longer something that a woman in a deep house can handle.

Just thinking about it, since she entered the mansion, she has never done anything wrong, and she has never treated him badly. When Gu Juefei came back, she couldn't stop her, so she just recognized it.

But who would have thought that it only took a few days?!

Gu Chengqian was so angry that he fell ill on the bed and was almost never rescued!

Tang Shi remembered that his eyes were almost red, and his voice was a little more choked up, but he finally couldn't hold back his complaints: "Your illness, not to mention your relatives and friends inside and outside the house, it's all rushing to deliver things if it doesn't matter. , but he is just like a normal person, he didn't even go out of the courtyard for most of the day! Who did he take seriously? Even a white-eyed wolf is better than him-"

"Shut up!"

Before Tang shi could finish speaking, Gu Chengqian suddenly opened his eyes and scolded loudly, but just after he finished speaking, he coughed violently, and his bloodless face suddenly flushed red.

"Cough! Cough cough..."

"My lord, my lord!"

When Tang Shi saw it, he panicked immediately, anxious and aggrieved, and hurriedly handed the medicine bowl in his hand to the maid next to him.

"It's me talking nonsense, sir, don't be angry, I'm just not worth it for you..."

"Cough cough..."

After coughing for a while, Gu Chengqian slowly recovered. It was just that after the flushing, his face became more and more pale, and there was a faint sense of gray defeat.

He closed his eyes, waved Tang Shi's hand wearily, and slowly leaned on the raised pillow behind the bed, without saying a word.

The whole house was silent.

Gu Chengqian didn't speak. From the inside to the outside, everyone lowered their heads in fear, lest they be in trouble at this extremely sensitive time in the house.

As a result, the sound of footsteps coming up from the corridor became much clearer.

Wan Bao often came in from outside the door. He was already very old, and now he has not slept all night. He looked a little old and haggard, and only bowed and said: "Sir, ma'am, the second grandmother of the general's residence outside came to visit, said Ben I'm here to send Young Master Xue to school, but I heard that the lord is unwell, so I came to visit with a little courtesy."

The affairs of the inner house are all handled by the Tang family.

There was a matter that a woman was ordered to visit from outside, which should have been reported to Tang Shi, but because Tang Shi was in Gu Chengqian's house, Wan Bao often said it together.

Tang Shifang said two words, which made Gu Chengqian unhappy. Hearing Lu Jinxi's visit, he stood up and said, "Then ask her to go to the flower hall to sit first, and I will come later."

"No need."

Gu Chengqian interrupted her unexpectedly. In his old eyes, there was an emotion that was difficult for others to see, and his body trembled slightly.

"Yes, is it the General's wife? Just invite her in."

"master?"

Tang Shi was greatly surprised and almost thought he had heard it wrong.

But Gu Chengqian didn't mean to explain at all, just waved his hand: "I have something to say to her, you can go out too."

Have something to say?

Tang Shi was stunned for a long time. He couldn't think of the intersection between Gu Chengqian and Lu Jinxi, the younger generation. He only remembered that he had a good relationship with Lu Jiuling, so what could he say to Lu Jinxi?
