Chapter 999 Life and Death

The old lady didn't know whether she was not blessed enough, but she fell ill not long after staying in the Marquis' Mansion.

Perhaps it was because he had not been sick for a long time, but now his condition became more and more severe. After only a few days, he could not stand it anymore.

Gu Zhang asked the imperial doctor to see the old lady, but the imperial doctor just said: "The old lady is so sick and old that there is nothing she can do."

The old lady’s face was also swollen and she lay in a daze for a few days. Chen knew that the old lady was really afraid of death this time. As the saying goes, men are afraid of wearing boots and women are afraid of wearing hats.

When a man is seriously ill, his feet are swollen, and when a woman is seriously ill, her head and face are swollen. This is a sign of the next life.

Ms. Chen quickly asked the housekeeper to prepare the necessary things, such as coffins, shrouds, etc., and also asked someone to deliver a message to Ping'an City.

This day, the groggy old lady suddenly felt much better and sober. She was helped by the girl to sit up, had a bowl of porridge, and said a few words to Gu Qing.

The family members knew that the old lady was recovering from her illness, so they all stayed at her bedside.

At night, the old lady could only breathe out but not in.

The old lady was sweating profusely and struggled to say, "I want to go back -" and then ran out of breath.

 Chen cried a few times despite the thunder and the rain, and Li Chunhua also wiped her tears.

 Lanzhi and Qin Xin squeezed together for a long time, but they really had no feelings for the old lady and couldn't hold back tears.

After crying for a while and expressing filial piety, everyone got busy.

Hurry up and change into mourning clothes, ask the housekeeper to set up a memorial tent, and send messages to familiar families and the palace.

After hearing the news about Gu Fei's face, he sent someone to deliver the memorial ceremony.

Soon, the powerful people in Beijing got the news. For a time, the gate of Changping Marquis was busy with traffic, and countless princes and ministers went to express their condolences to the Gu family.

Ms. Chen looked at this situation and sighed with Li Chunhua, "Your grandma is walking around in a lively manner."

If the old lady had not come to Beijing, she would not have the lively scene now if she left.

The uncle’s family, the aunt’s family, the brother-in-law’s family, and the village chief’s family quickly came to the capital.

 Gu Zhong cried sincerely in front of the soul. The old lady really had nothing to say to her eldest son. He was the one who loved her most in her life.

The eldest aunt also cried a lot. Her mother gave birth to her and raised her. This feeling is different from others.

Xing'er also cried for real. She had no intention of coming, but her husband-in-law encouraged her to come at home, so she had no choice but to come with her husband.

On the day of the old lady’s funeral, almost all the prominent officials in the capital set up sheds for roadside sacrifices.

Walking all the way there, there was a thick layer of paper money scattered on the road.

The coffin left the city, changed carriages and horses and continued walking. Gu Zhong was the eldest son and Gu Qing was the grandson. Together they supported the old lady's coffin back to her hometown of Xiqin County for burial.

·······

Xiao Yu had been away for two months and received good news, saying that he had captured two cities.

At the court, Gu Fei first promoted mathematics education and some physics knowledge in the Imperial College.

She knows very well that for society to develop, problems cannot be solved by just one or two time travellers. Basic disciplines must keep up. There are naturally geniuses in the world who will move forward along the path of science.

Xiao Yu said he would capture the two northeastern counties within half a year, but it took seven months to capture these two counties.

Wang An and his son died, and the remaining troops were captured by Xiao Yu.

After making some arrangements for the affairs of several northeastern counties, Xiao Yu returned home as quickly as possible.

Gu Fei's pregnancy is estimated to be more than eight months old.

When his son Xiaochi was born, he was away fighting and was not with Gu Fei.

He wanted to accompany her to give birth to this child no matter what.
