Hope for luck

Chapter 116
Gao Ruoqian's question aroused something that even Gao Pan was astonished. Peng Lanshu came to Gao's house when she was very young?

Immediately, Gao Ruoqian asked about Peng Lanshu's family background as if seeing her own sister.

Hearing that both the Peng family's siblings and their parents had died, Gao Ruoqian quickly comforted her with kindness, but no matter how much she asked, she couldn't find out what the Peng family's siblings had to do with the Gao family!
Seeing this, Gao Pan quickly called Lu Rong to inquire, probably because Lu Rong had been in the Gao Mansion a long time ago, so he should remember it, and Gao Pan himself didn't have the slightest impression of Peng Lanshu.

Lu Rong's reply was that he had no impression of the Peng family siblings, and it was the first time they met in Dantang County, so he was sure.

This made Gao Pan even more puzzled, but no matter how much he asked, he couldn't find out, maybe he could only know the result by asking the elders in the family, right?
Originally, in Gao Pan's heart, he didn't have the slightest sense of belonging to the Gao family, thinking that he would definitely find a way to leave in the future.

But Gao Ruoqian's appearance overturned his previous cognition, and also made him feel a little warmth of home, and his originally dark heart slowly began to recover.

Seeing that Gao Ruoqian treated her sincerely, Gao Pan did not make a gesture of rejecting others, and asked her parents, that is, the situation of Gao Pan's third uncle and aunt.

Gao Ruoqian was obviously a little surprised, she didn't expect Gao Pan to take the initiative to care about people, so she smiled and talked about the situation in the third room.

The third master of the Gao family, Gao Qiyao, is shrewd and capable. He also knows that as a bastard, he cannot inherit the title like the head of the family. Therefore, he proposed to manage the family's property very early on.

The status of merchants is indeed very low, but basically there are gentry and aristocrats, who have some properties, and someone has to come forward to deal with them.

Seeing that Gao Qiyao was devoted to doing business, Mrs. Gao finally agreed. After all, he is a bastard, so there are not many things he can get.

The eldest son, Gao Qiyuan, will inherit the title, while the second son, Gao Qiyin, will inherit the incense of the Gao family in the army, and is currently leading the army on the nine borders to guard the frontier.

After coming down, it is impossible for the Gao family to have other things, and the rest of the sons will inherit them, so they have to work hard on their own.

However, after all, it is a noble family, and the starting point is much higher than others.

After listening to Gao Ruoqian's narration, Gao Pan realized that the current external income of the Gao family all depends on Gao Qiyao's management.

From the looks of it, the business is still going well, everyone in the mansion respectfully addresses Gao Qiyao as the third master, which shows Gao Qiyao's confidence.

As for the fourth master Gao Qibai, Gao Pan only has a little impression of him, that is, he is a bookworm, in his late thirties, he still has no wife, that's all.

As for the fifth master, Gao Pan's father, named Gao Qiluo, passed away together with Gao Pan's mother in an accident many years ago.

And after listening to Gao Ruoqian talking about the third house, Gao Pan's impression of the Gao family became deeper, and he completely forgot that he himself was the young master of the Gao family, and he was just looking at all this from an outsider's perspective.

"Brother Pan, are you back? Why didn't you inform me?"

At this moment, there was another voice outside the door. Gao Pan looked back, but it was a man in his 30s looking at him with a smile on his face.

I saw him wearing a blue long gown, wearing this square scarf on his head, and his face was refined and fair. Gao Pan was thinking, who is this person?
"Fourth Uncle, why are you here? Come in and sit down!"

When Gao Pan was still thinking about who was coming, Gao Ruoqian had already stood up to greet him.

After hearing this, Gao Pan realized that this person was the fourth master of the Gao family Gao Qibai he had just remembered, the fourth uncle who was in his thirties for the imperial examination and still had no wife.

Thinking of this, Gao Pan hurriedly saluted:

"Nephew met fourth uncle!"

Seeing this, Gao Qibai was taken aback for a moment, while Gao Ruoqian quickly explained for Gao Pan. Seeing that Gao Qibai seemed to have something to say to Gao Pan, he dragged Peng Lanshu to the main courtyard.

"My boy, I haven't seen you for a few days, and you have become so polite? It seems that what Qian girl said is right, this time I went to be a county magistrate, and my brain became more flexible?"

Gao Qibo said happily.

Hearing these caring words without leaving any traces, Gao Pan felt a little touched in his heart. Gao Qibai's words, just like Gao Ruoqian before, cared for him very much.

But in his memory, he has never seen any picture of anyone in the Gao family caring about him. First, Gao Ruoqian, and then Gao Qibai, they all seemed to care about themselves. .

"Fourth uncle speaks seriously. My nephew just felt that I wasted my time before and was ignorant. After walking to the court, I slowly understood it!"

Gao Pan was puzzled, but he still said politely.

Hearing this, Gao Qibai burst out laughing:
"Hahaha, good, good, great, if it really makes you wake up, then this trip to Dongshan is not in vain!"

Hearing these very happy words, Gao Pan was also a little infected, but when he thought about it, the reason why his predecessor went to Dantang to be the magistrate was because Gao Qiyuan wanted him to take the blame.

Thinking of this, Gao Pan couldn't be happier, subconsciously indignant:
"The fourth uncle knows what kind of dangers my nephew will face when he wakes up? If he is not careful, he will be smashed to pieces!"

Gao Pan's resentful words made Gao Qibai's smile freeze instantly, and the laughter stopped abruptly, and the whole living room became completely silent in an instant.

After a while, Gao Qibai said embarrassingly:

"Brother, it's really unethical to do this. You have to recite the disaster caused by Brother Yuan. I even told my brother about it, but he said, with your consent, fourth uncle and I, too. I have no choice but to think, when the time comes, I will definitely report to my father, and I will protect you no matter what!"

Gao Pan kept looking at Gao Qibai, seeing that he became more resolute as he spoke, and the original gloom in his heart gradually dissipated.

But still feeling unable to forgive Gao Qiyuan, he said darkly:
"Fourth Uncle, if the person in charge of the family is so partial to his own family, he will not be able to be in this family. My nephew thinks that the Gao family should also change its style!"

Gao Qibai's heart skipped a beat when he heard the words, looking at Gao Pan with a sinister face at the moment, he was a little horrified.

He originally thought that Gao Pan's 'opening up' was a good thing, but he never thought that after Gao Pan woke up, he would naturally fight back. From the looks of it now, his resentment towards Gao Qiyuan might have reached the point of endless death?
Thinking of this, Gao Qiyuan took a deep breath, and quickly persuaded:

"Brother Pan, there has been a difference since ancient times. No matter what happens to the Gao family, the person in charge of the Gao family in the future must be the head of the family. Unless the head of the house is empty, otherwise, there will be no deviation. Since you wake up Now, this is a blessing in disguise, don't have other thoughts!"
