The next morning, Gu Jiu took a carriage and went to Houfu.

Gu Cheng and his wife, Hu, are waiting at the Houfu.

"Little sister Jiu is here. Let's go to see the old lady first."

"Three brothers and three sisters in law accompany me on this trip."

"Little sister Jiu is too outsider."

They went to the pine crane hall in the backyard.

the old lady Wei was very haggard and her eyes were particularly tired.

See Gu Jiu, she is still very happy, just can't lift spirit.

"Old lady, take care of yourself." Gu Jiu stepped forward and took the old lady Wei's wrist.

The old lady Wei patted Gu Jiu on the back of her hand. "I'm glad you can come. Don't worry about your health. "

Gu Jiu said: "tired old lady worry, I am in good health."

"I see you look better than last year. The body is the most important thing. Nothing else is more important than the body. " Wei, the old lady, was very moved.

Gu Jiu nodded, "I listen to the old lady. The old lady has to take care of herself. We are all worried about you

The old lady, Wei Shi, said with a smile, "don't worry. I can still hold on. Even for the sake of this family, I can't fall down. "

"Old lady!"

Several daughter-in-law of Hou's house are sad.

The old lady Wei's face was flat, and whispered: "what is it to do with a sad face

several daughter-in-law of Hou's family quickly wiped the corners of their eyes.

"Old lady, my daughter-in-law will take Xiao Jiu to visit the old Marquis," said the old lady

"Go. Hu stayed to talk with me. Gu went to the courtyard to talk to his brothers. "

Everybody takes orders.

Gu Jiu followed his wife, the little Wei, out of the Songhe hall, and heard a sigh.

"Auntie in the lobby is working hard!"

The big lady and the little Wei Shi wryly laughed, "it doesn't matter if I work hard. I'm afraid that this family can't survive the ups and downs."

"Why is that so?" Gu Jiu was surprised.

The relationship between the Marquis and China is very hard. Even if the old Marquis is is gone, it should be able to survive.

The first lady, the younger Wei, took Gu Jiu and said as she walked, "I will not hide from you. Once the old Marquis is gone, it is still uncertain whether the title can be smoothly transferred to my master."

"How could it be so? The hall uncle is a descendant, and he should inherit the title. "

"That's what I said, but the imperial court intended to cut off the marquis. According to law, my master should be a second-class Marquis if he was to be reduced to a second rank. But a few days ago, there was a rumor from the Ministry of rites. I'm afraid the succession to the title would not be so smooth. Everything depends on your Majesty's will. "

The elder lady and the younger Wei were worried.

Gu Jiu asked, "does the old Marquis know about it?"

The elder lady and the younger Wei Shi nodded, "the old Marquis is is very clear."

"What does the old Marquis say?"

"The old Marquis said that when he inherited the title of marquis, the late emperor made a special offer of mercy, allowing him not to be degraded to xijue, and succeeded to the first-class Marquis of his ancestors. This time, I'm afraid your majesty will settle the old account. If my Lord wants to succeed, he can only be reduced to a third rank. When your hall brother inherits the title, he can only be a general. "

With that, the elder lady and the younger Wei Shi sighed heavily.

Originally thought that his husband could succeed to the second-class marquis. When his son, Gu Rui, succeeded to the title, he was the third marquis.

Now it seems that Gu Rui can only inherit one general, Xu Jue.

Gu Jiu Cu eyebrow, "old Marquis did not think of a way?"

The older lady, the younger Wei, shook her head, "the old Marquis is is getting heavier and heavier, and he has been unable to govern. Again, the old Marquis also said that this is the general trend and can only drift with the tide. Even the hereditary nobility of the Duke of Zhenguo was reduced to the Marquis of the fifth generation. We are better than the Cui family. "

Gu Jiu said, not much.

She followed the eldest lady, the younger Wei, to the outer courtyard to see the old Marquis.

The old Marquis is very thin, very thin!

This is Gu Jiu's first impression.

Looking at the skinny old Marquis, Gu Jiu's tears suddenly fell down.

"Silly child, cry what."

The Lord can still talk, but he can't get up.

Gu Jiu stepped forward and bowed to a big ceremony, "granddaughter comes to visit the old Marquis."

The Lord nodded, "good, good! Good boy, you want to come and see me. Yes

"My granddaughter is late." Gu Jiu blames himself.

The old Marquis waved his hand, "say something stupid. I am content to live to this age. "

Gu Jiu is very upset.

In the face of the natural law of birth, aging, disease and death, people always seem so small.

She took the old lord's hand. He was really old, and it was time to run out of oil and light. It's only half a month.

Gu Jiu was very sad. She put down the old Marquis's hand and asked quietly, "does the old Marquis have any unfinished wish? As long as my granddaughter can do it, I will try my best. "The old Marquis laughed, "you have a heart. It's not easy for you. It's not easy for you as a younger generation. When I'm gone, you'll keep an eye on them for me. Don't let them mess around, and I'll close my eyes. "

Gu Jiu wiped his tears and nodded heavily, "the title of uncle in the hall..."

The old Marquis glared at the elder lady and the younger Wei.

If it had not been for the elder lady and the younger Wei, how could Gu Jiu know.

The eldest lady, the younger Wei, was a little guilty, but did not explain it.

The old Marquis shook his head and said to Gu Jiu, "you don't have to worry about the title. We will do whatever the court decides. "

Gu Jiuzhang opened his mouth, but there was no exit.

The old Marquis gently coughed and said to Gu Jiu with a smile: "you have a heart."

Gu Jiu shakes her head again and again. She does too little.

But the old Marquis said, "it's not easy for you. Take care of yourself. Don't worry about the affairs of the marquis. "

Gu Jiu nodded heavily, "I listen to the old Marquis. If there is anything I can do for you, please let me know. "

The Lord nodded and answered.

He was so tired that he closed his eyes slowly.

Gu Jiu leaves the bedroom with his wife, Wei Shi.

Big lady small Wei Shi sighed, "small nine don't blame me, I also have no way."

"I understand my aunt's worry that he will not succeed in his title. I will send someone to inquire about this matter. If there is any news, I will inform the hall uncle's house in time. "

"Thank you! It's much better to ask for information with your help than our headless flies. "

Gu Jiu also said: "auntie in the lobby should not hold too much hope. No one can change what your majesty has decided. "

"I know, I know. I don't dare to hope that your uncle in the lobby can inherit the title of second-class marquis. I just want everything to be smooth and smooth, and the Ministry of rites will not embarrass us. People are indifferent. As soon as the old Marquis is is gone, how much of the old relationship will continue to associate with each other is really uncertain. "

Gu Jiu said: "don't worry too much about auntie in the lobby. With the old lady there, the situation should be able to maintain."

A man dies as a lamp goes out.

Some human relations, with the death of the old Marquis, will also leave the marquis.

It's normal for the Hou family to be worried.

The old Marquis is the pillar of the Marquis's residence. If the pillar is not there, it will take a lot of pain to calm down.

Gu Jiu hesitated for a moment, implicitly reminded the first lady, the little Wei family, "if the old Marquis is is not here, all the people in the Marquis should be filial. During the period of filial piety, remind the hall brothers that they must not forget to practice martial arts and practice bodyguards. "

The first lady, the little Wei, opened his mouth to speak, but was stopped by Gu Jiu's eyes.

"Auntie in the hall can tell the old Marquis and uncle of the hall what they have to say."

The eldest lady and the younger Wei nodded repeatedly and felt uneasy.

Gu Jiu has no end, suddenly reminds such a sentence, is there something big happening.

She was uneasy, a little frightened.

After seeing Gu Jiu, Gu Cheng and Hu's three people off, the eldest lady and the younger Wei's, they hurriedly find their husband, the son of the Marquis, and Gu Zhiwen, the eldest master of the marquis.

She said with some uneasiness: "after seeing the old Marquis, Xiaojiu suddenly said a word without end. It is said that in case the old Marquis is is gone, don't forget to remind Gu Rui to practice martial arts and personal bodyguards during the period of filial piety. There's something wrong with that. She also specially reminded that she should tell you and the Lord that you and the LORD have their own opinions. Master, is there something important in the court? "

"There are no major events in the imperial court, at least not so far." Old master Gu Zhiwen frowned and thought, "if you want to say something important, Jin Wuwei has been active frequently recently, which is a little abnormal. In addition, life show had a verbal battle with the Imperial College, which aroused criticism from the government and the public. But there was no movement in the palace. "

"What is the meaning of Xiao Jiu's words?"

Master Gu Zhiwen was not sure, so he said, "I'll ask my father. Maybe he knows something inside."

"Go, go. It's better to call Gu Rui. Xiao Jiu mentioned him specially, which must have profound meaning. "

Master Gu Zhiwen nodded, "where's Gu Ruiren?"

"It should be in the front yard. I'll send for him."
