Hope for luck

Chapter 121
Although Gao Pan is very reluctant to put a hot face on a cold butt, the etiquette at this time is that the younger generation must respectfully greet the elders.

Although Gao Pan didn't have his parents, but the grandfather Gao was still there, even if Gao Pan felt disdainful, he had to pretend to be very filial to pay his respects.

And he knew that he would definitely not receive any warm and courteous reception, most of the time he would let him leave without even looking at him.

Just when Gao Pan was about to enter the Zhongwu Hall, he met a group of people outside the courtyard. The leader was a graceful and luxurious middle-aged woman, followed by a lot of maidservants.

This person is the eldest wife of the Gao family, that is, Gao Qiyuan's original wife, and currently the housekeeper of the Gao family's backyard is Mrs. Ren.

Behind Mrs. Ren was Mrs. Li from the third bedroom, and a young daughter-in-law with a beautiful appearance and a beautiful voice, which made Gao Pan's eyes shine.

This young daughter-in-law is Gao Pan's elder sister-in-law, named Lu Sixuan, the young mistress of the Gao family, that is, Gao Qiyuan's son-in-law and Gao Guangcheng's wife.

Naturally, Lu Sixuan and the others also saw Gao Pan approaching. Before Gao Pan could speak, Lu Sixuan came to Gao Pan first, and said with a smile:

"Fifth brother is back? I heard about it yesterday, let my sister-in-law take a good look at it, and see if I've lost weight this time!"

Lu Sixuan's very enthusiastic greetings made Gao Pan stunned again. Yesterday, Gao Ruoqian and Gao Qibai both cared about him very much, but Gao Pan never saw these in his memory.

I had no choice but to bow and reply, which was very polite.

"Brother Pan went out for a trip, why, have you forgotten the etiquette?"

While Gao Pan was talking with Lu Sixuan, Mrs. Ren's very unpleasant words came over.

"Sister-in-law, maybe Brother Pan just came back and hasn't recognized you yet, Brother Pan, why don't you come over to greet your aunt!"

Seeing this, Mrs. Li of the third room hurriedly stepped forward to smooth things over, and urged Gao Pan to come and greet Mrs. Ren.

Only then did Lu Sixuan react, and quickly echoed:

"Madam wrongly blamed him, blamed me, dragged Fifth Brother for some reason, and talked here!"

Seeing this, Gao Pan walked up to Mrs. Ren, and gave Mrs. Ren a big gift with the junior gift:
"My nephew saw his wife. He wanted to see his wife yesterday, but it was too late. He thought about going to pay his respects today, but he didn't expect to meet his wife here. Damn his nephew, he didn't greet his wife first!"

Mrs. Ren was a little startled by Gao Pan's fluent words, and raised her eyebrows:

"Hurry up and go in and say hello to your grandfather! Don't be an example, otherwise, it won't be so simple!"

Gao Pan bowed his waist and agreed, very well-behaved, Mrs. Ren glanced at Gao Pan, a trace of contempt and disdain flashed in her eyes, and then left.

Seeing this, Lu Sixuan could only look at Gao Pan apologetically, and followed Mrs. Ren's footsteps.

Mrs. Li came to Gao Pan with a warm face, and said with a smile:

"Yesterday, I heard from Qian'er that you are very different. I saw you today, and it is true. Later, I will come to Dongkuayuan and tell my third aunt about this trip!"

When Gao Pan saw this, the horror in his heart never stopped. If Gao Ruoqian was so enthusiastic about him alone, it would be fine. If several people in succession showed concern for him, it meant that his memory was wrong!

Does he only remember part of the memory?Is there a part missing?
This is an explanation Gao Pan gave himself at this moment, and it is difficult for him to explain this kind of thing clearly.

After seeing Mrs. Li leaving, Gao Pan turned around and walked towards the Zhongwu Hall.

On the veranda, I happened to meet Mrs. Du from the second room again. Compared with the elegance and luxury of the eldest wife, the second room's Mrs. Du looked a bit slovenly, very casual, so Gao Pan didn't recognize her at once.

Fortunately, he responded in a timely manner. In order not to be ridiculed, Gao Pan quickly bowed his waist and saluted:
"My nephew greets my second aunt!"

Seeing this, Mrs. Du was taken aback for a moment, then said with a smile on her face:

"Brother Pan is back? Just come back, just come back, it's almost the twelfth lunar month, and your second uncle must be back soon!"

Mrs. Du was still talking about Gao Pan in the first sentence, but said her husband is coming in the last sentence.

Mrs. Du's attitude was neither cold nor indifferent, not like Mrs. Ren's contempt and indifference towards him, nor like Mrs. Li's warm greetings to him.

Looking at the back of Mrs. Du leaving, Gao Pan shook his head gently. This morning, he met several female elders in the mansion.

However, just such a meeting, Gao Pan already has a rough guess about the current situation of the Gao family.

The eldest wife, also known as Mrs. Ren, manages all affairs in the entire backyard. It can be said that she is "high and powerful", and she is also the wife of the long house. No one can shake her.

Even Mrs. Li, the third bedroom, had to follow behind her step by step.

Mrs. Du in the second bedroom, in his memory, Gao Pan got a clue, that is Mrs. Du once expressly disobeyed her wife's management of the family.

It's no wonder that she didn't come out with Mrs. Ren and the others. Just from this point, one can see a clue.

Thinking of this, Gao Pan thought in his heart, this is something that can be used, squinted his eyes, and after thinking for a while, Gao Pan continued to walk inside.

...

"Fifth young master, please go back. The old master said that he is tired now. Let's talk about it when he wants to see you. The old master also said that I want you to learn something good, don't mess around!"

Gao Pan originally thought that he would have a hot face and a cold butt, but how did he know that he couldn't even see Mrs. Gao's face.

He was stopped by a servant at the door, and after going in to ask for instructions, the servant said this to Gao Pan.

This made Gao Pan quite upset. Mrs. Gao was too condescending. He came to pay his respects with good intentions, but he didn't even see him.

Gao Pan thought, if he hadn't devoted himself to the long house, his predecessor would never have been dragged to take the blame. This would simply wipe out the five houses!

"Since that's the case, please tell my grandfather that my grandson will remember it, let my grandfather rest in peace, and my grandson will come to pay my respects in the future!"

But anyway, Gao Pan doesn't want to turn his face right now, and if he doesn't behave properly at the moment, it will only look ridiculous, so Gao Pan hastily corrected his attitude and said.

"I've made a note of it, I will definitely tell the Grand Master the truth!" The servant guarding the door had a good attitude towards Gao Pan.

Seeing this, Gao Pan bowed to the door again, and then left slowly.

After Gao Pan left, the servant hurried into the room.

"Is he leaving?!"

There was a hoarse and old voice from inside the room.

"Let's go, it's really strange, Fifth Young Master, you speak decently and well, it seems that you are really enlightened, it's a pity that you don't see him!"

This time the man quickly bowed and replied.

"See? What is there to see? A grandson who is born of a concubine, if he is enlightened again, can he become a marquis and a prime minister?"

Mrs. Gao was very disdainful, and ended the questioning. It seems that in the eyes of Mrs. Gao, Gao Pan is really dispensable.
