Hope for luck

Chapter 165 Regardless of face
The hall of the main courtyard of the Gao family is also the living room of the Baishui hall. At this moment, many people have come, including the representatives of the fifth house of the Gao family and Mrs. Gao.

Gao Qiyuan, the head room, went to the yamen to check out the office early in the morning, and he is not there at the moment, Mrs. Ren is the leader, Gao Qiyin, the second room is still in Jiubian and has not returned, and Mrs. Du is the leader.

The two three-bedroom and four-bedroom masters actually came to the scene. This is the first time Gao Pan has seen the third-bedroom master Gao Qiyao, his third uncle, and his father Gao Qiluo, who are both concubines in the many days since Gao Pan returned to Beijing. Born in the room, logically speaking, they are closer.

However, Gao Qiyao just nodded to Gao Pan indifferently, even if he had greeted him, it was quite different from Mrs. Li's enthusiasm.

"Second daughter-in-law, why did you call everyone to Baishuitang early in the morning?"

Mrs. Gao seemed to be still yawning. It was still early at this time, and for an elderly man like him, he was still a little uncomfortable.

After hearing this, Mrs. Du quickly stood up and replied:
"Go back to my lord, you'll find out by looking outside first!"

As he spoke, he pointed to the gate of Gao's family outside Baishuitang. Mrs. Gao was very puzzled and didn't understand what was going on.

However, at this moment, another loyal servant came to ask for a reward:
"Greetings to my wife, Mr. Ren has already passed through the middle gate..."

As he spoke, the man didn't seem to see the people in the room, and he said a lot of auspicious words, especially the meaning of begging for money, which everyone could hear clearly.

Only then did Mrs. Gao hum and ask:
"Who is this uncle?"

After saying this, the servant who came to ask for the reward realized that the person sitting at the top was actually Mrs. Gao, and was too frightened to speak.

Seeing this, Mrs. Ren quickly stood up and said:
"Back to the old man, he is the nephew of my daughter-in-law's family. Since I haven't seen him for many years, my daughter-in-law thought about picking him up to stay at home for a while!"

Mrs. Ren also knew that it would be too late for her nephew to come in through the side door right now, so she might as well admit it openly.

Sure enough, after hearing this, Mrs. Gao just frowned and said calmly:

"Hello, nephew, okay, let him come to me and have a look later!"

Mrs. Du was shocked when she heard this, and said quickly:

"My lord, even though that's the case,...you shouldn't enter through the middle gate. Outsiders don't know about it, and they think our house is welcoming some distinguished guests. This is not proper etiquette!"

After Gao Pan saw Mrs. Gao praising Mrs. Ren's nephew, he felt that it was wrong. Mrs. Gao was too partial to the eldest house.

Sure enough, Mrs. Du's words did not move old Mrs. Gao, she still said very calmly:
"The Ren family is also a relative of our family. It's hard to come here. Opening the middle door is the way to welcome guests. There is nothing wrong with it!"

After hearing this, Mrs. Du was speechless for a while. Seeing this, Gao Pan saw every stitch:
"Grandfather, even though that's the case, the grandson didn't have such a courtesy when he returned to Beijing from Dongshan. In order to let these servants move something, the grandson had to pay for the money himself, and they would do it. So, the grandson dared Let me ask you, in the eyes of my grandfather, is my biological grandson closer than a nephew of the Ren family?"

After Gao Pan finished speaking, the hall instantly became dead silent, and a needle could be heard, and everyone looked at Gao Pan in horror.

The old man Gao raised his brows slightly, and his kind eyes became sharper. After looking at Gao Pan, he said sternly:
"You mean, when you returned to Beijing and received a cold reception, it's because the old man didn't come out to welcome you?"

After Gao Pan heard this, his heart was still peaceful, but his heart beat faster. He knew that today must be a big event, and now this is just the beginning!

"Back to grandfather, grandson doesn't mean that, but he treats nephew in the same way. Grandson, nephew, is worthless in the eyes of the aunt. If he really manages the family well, it won't be so. I need to give the money personally. These servants will Hands on to help."

Gao Pan spoke loudly, pointing to the servants of the Gao family outside and said:
"Look again, today's scene has been set up early in the morning. The servants who carry the sedan chair, the servants who carry things, the women and maids who greet and ask for rewards, etc., are all available. The yard next to the second brother , the house was almost renovated, but in the east courtyard of the fifth room, there were piles of cobwebs, and no one was there to clean it!"

Gao Pan said that for this reason, everyone knows that he pointed directly at Mrs. Ren, saying that she treats people unfairly and runs a family without morals!
After hearing this, Mrs. Gao frowned, looked at Mrs. Ren and said:
"Why is the yard of the fifth room left unattended?"

At this moment, Mrs. Ren only felt that she hated Gao Pan, so she had to prevaricate Mrs. Gao's question:

"My daughter-in-law doesn't know what's going on, so I have to ask the housekeeper to come and ask!"

As soon as the voice fell, Gao Pan straightened his head and said angrily:

"You don't have to shout, Auntie. I've already asked the housekeeper Nading. He said that it was the order of the eldest wife, so he treated it as the fifth house. It will be burned down in the future, and it will be rebuilt later!"

Mrs. Ren trembled all over when she heard this. She did say this, but she never instructed the housekeeper to say this to outsiders!

After hearing this, Mrs. Gao narrowed her cloudy eyes and reprimanded in a low voice:

"You bastard, what nonsense you say, do you believe it? Hurry up and call Butler Nading!"

This low-pitched reprimand caused quite a splash in Gao Pan's heart. He still straightened his waist and stood in the hall, letting the rest of the people see his appearance with surprise on their faces.

When did Gao Pan become so assertive?So not afraid of Mrs. Gao?So dare to speak?

"The villain, Ding Lao, please be respectful, all the masters and wives!"

After a while, Ding Lao, the butler of the Gao family, was called in. After all, he was the most powerful servant of the Gao family. As soon as he came up, he knew how to look around and listen to all directions, and respectfully saluted the lords and wives in the room. .

Ding Lao looked at it, and knew that today's matter was serious, not to mention that everyone in the fifth room of Gao's family had gathered together, but Mrs. Gao's face was also full of sternness.

"Tell me, why didn't you send someone to take care of the East Courtyard?"

Old Mrs. Gao said something very bored, as if she was very unwilling to mention such a thing.

Ding Lao was startled, he looked at Mrs. Ren first, but saw that Mrs. Ren was looking away and didn't intend to look at him at all, so he was even more horrified.

"Back to the old master, maybe the boys were lazy and slippery, and forgot to take care of the east courtyard. When the villain calls the person who takes care of the east courtyard, he will find out!"

After all, he is an old man from the Gao family, and Ding Lao knew to push the matter away as soon as he came.

"Master Ding, it's too useless for you to say this, and you want to arrest a few boys to use as scapegoats for you? Did you forget what I asked you earlier? How dare you Say it again?!"

Naturally, Gao Pan would not give him a chance to shirk, he came to Ding Lao's side and sneered loudly.
