Hope for luck

Chapter 172
Hearing Yang Mingchun say that on the day of the winter solstice, all the honorable descendants will gather in the Xicheng school grounds, Gao Pan felt a little surprised in his heart, but also a little enlightened.

Wei Yan'an had told him before that the [-]th day made him look good. At that time, Gao Pan didn't understand what he meant, but now after hearing Yang Mingchun's words, he suddenly understood.

"Young master, Yang feels that although the young master is famous in the manor this time, if he wants to return to the alchemy hall, it may still be difficult!"

Just when Gao Pan was stunned, Yang Mingchun suddenly reminded him.

This made Gao Pan wake up in an instant. After he understood what Yang Mingchun said, Gao Pan smiled and waved his hands:

"You can rest assured that it is inevitable to return to the alchemy hall. It will take more than a month at most, and there will definitely be results. When the time comes, you will know!"

Hearing Gao Pan's very confident words, Yang Mingchun's eyes flashed with suspicion. He just received a letter from Dantang yesterday. In the letter, the person was worried whether Gao Pan would not return to Dongshan anymore?
Therefore, let him test Gao Pan's tone, Yang Mingchun is still a little panicked, afraid that Gao Pan will see something.

But the result was that Gao Pan seemed very confident, he didn't see at all that he had other thoughts, so he relaxed in his heart, and said with a smile:

"That's good, Yang is still worried about the young master, so he forgot about it!"

As soon as the words were finished, I heard a servant girl come to ask for instructions, saying that the fourth master came to look for Gao Pan.

Hearing this, Gao Pan waved his hand to signal Yang Mingchun to back down, and he came to the living room of the east courtyard to see Gao Qibai.

Seeing Gao Qibai's face was calm, showing no signs of happiness or anger, Gao Pan's heart moved, he bowed and said:

"Fourth uncle, what's the matter?"

Gao Qibo raised his hand, glanced at Gao Pan indifferently, and asked very coldly:
"Are you satisfied now?!"

Although Gao Qibai didn't say what it was, when Gao Pan heard it, he understood that what Gao Qibai was talking about happened yesterday.

With a silent face, Gao Pan replied in a flat voice:
"To be honest, my nephew is not satisfied!"

Hearing this, Gao Qibai became angry, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he said in a deep voice:

"I'm still not satisfied. According to what you mean, you are going to let outsiders see our family's jokes, and let your uncle and aunt's family leave the Gao family. Are you satisfied?"

After Gao Pan heard this, his heart tightened, but his face was still very calm. He looked at Gao Qibai and asked lightly:

"Fourth uncle, what did my nephew do wrong yesterday?"

This question made Gao Qibai open his mouth, and finally he didn't know how to refute it.

After a long time, Gao Qibai sighed softly:
"Brother Pan, I don't know how to explain it to you, maybe in your eyes, the Gao family owes you a lot, but... that's all, you will know in the future, in short, what you see is not everything you think! "

This quite philosophical remark made Gao Pan feel a little inexplicable when he heard it, and he really didn't understand what Gao Qibai meant by this remark.

After frowning and thinking for a while, he didn't get any clues, and asked another thing:
"Fourth uncle, do you know the annual winter solstice gathering?"

Gao Qibai's eyes lit up after hearing this, and then dimmed again, as if he remembered something from the past, and it took a long time before he explained to Gao Pan.

After Gao Pan listened to it, he felt that this competition among the nobles' juniors should be called a comparison meeting among the nobles, right?

He also didn't expect that in this era, there are still such gatherings, which is a bit strange based on people's perception at this time.

"...However, don't embarrass our family at the party, otherwise, not only will the Gao family be ashamed, but if you marry a wife in the future, you will also have a lot of trouble!"

At the end of Gao Qibai's speech, he did not forget to remind Gao Pan. Hearing this, Gao Pan's heart moved, he stared at Gao Qibai and asked:
"If that's the case, how can fourth uncle, as a literati student, compare with these honorable young masters who wield knives and guns?"

Gao Qibai looked a little unnaturally at Gao Pan, turned his face away slightly, as if trying to cover up something, and heard him reply arrogantly:

"Students of literati, that's called making friends with literature. In the Xungui family, there are also many young masters and ladies who understand literature and ink. Back then... Forget it, let's not mention it!"

After Gao Pan heard this, he seemed to have heard something, and said teasingly:

"Let's talk about it. With the literary talents of the fourth uncle, there must not be many young masters from the Xungui family who can compare to you, right?"

After saying this, Gao Qibai blushed slightly, and said in a very airy manner:

"That's natural. Back then, our family, your father and I were all famous talents, especially your father, who was young, and his poems and essays were really outstanding. It's a pity..."

Although Gao Pan heard a bit of boasting, but he really yearned for it in his heart, and was also infected by Gao Qibai's emotions.

It seems that I saw Gao Qibai and Gao Qiluo when they were young, which is fascinating.

Afterwards, Gao Pan suddenly woke up, isn't he at the age of seventeen or eighteen?Why do you feel this way?

After thinking about it, Gao Pan respectfully saluted Gao Qibai:
"Fourth uncle, my nephew understands what you mean, but my nephew does not regret what happened yesterday. Even if it turns out that what my nephew did was wrong, my nephew is willing to bear it all, no matter what the result is!"

Although Gao Qibai didn't explain it, but Gao Pan's thoughts flashed, and he thought of the inexplicable cause of death of Gao Qiluo and his wife. Maybe there are many problems left?
Therefore, after talking with Gao Qibai, Gao Pan's heart became much clearer. The most important thing is that this morning, some of the memories he received suddenly made Gao Pan completely integrated into this identity, and he no longer looked at the Gao family from a hostile perspective.

After Gao Qibai heard this, his expression was both gratified and a little regretful, it was very complicated, and finally turned into a sentence:
"Forget it, as long as you can figure it out yourself, I won't say much else!"

Ever since Gao Pan entered the house, Gao Qibai has been persuading him silently, but he didn't interfere with Gao Pan's actions, and sometimes even supported Gao Pan.

This is also the main reason why Gao Pan gradually changed his attitude.

The uncle and nephew had another conversation, and Gao Qibai left here.

As soon as Gao Qibai left, Gao Ruoqian brought Gao Ming and Gao Lanshu here.

"Fifth brother!"

Gao Ming and Gao Lanshu both addressed Gao Pan solemnly.

This made Gao Pan stunned suddenly, looking at the two siblings in front of him, Gao Pan felt a lot of emotion for a while.

After a long time, he gave a soft 'ah' in response, looked at Gao Ruoqian again, and said with a smile:

"Big sister, why come to my place when you have time?"

Gao Ruoqian replied softly:
"This is not your sister-in-law. I'm afraid you will be dissatisfied. Let me come over and have a look. Fifth brother, how is it? Is there a maid who is dissatisfied? Just say, this time the eldest sister will stand up for you, no one dares to say anything." No words!"

Gao Pan looked at the generosity of Gao Ruoqian's body, and felt a little relieved in his heart. He felt that it might be a good choice for Mrs. Gao to let Lu Sixuan and three people take charge of the house.
