Hope for luck

Chapter 19
The miserable life experience of Peng Lanshu's brother and sister not only made Gao Pan feel a little pitiful, but also made Gao Pan hate people like Du Xiangming even more.

It is precisely because of these unscrupulous gentry oppressing and oppressing the people at the bottom that the sad life experience of the Peng Lanshu siblings appears!

Moreover, Gao Pan knew that the Peng Lanshu siblings were just the ones he had seen, and there were probably many other such tragic things in the world that he had never encountered!
Thinking of this, Gao Pan persuaded them softly, telling them that the past should be let him go, and he will live here from now on.

Both Peng Lanshu and Peng Ming looked at Gao Pan with eyes full of gratitude. Although they didn't speak, they were very grateful for the stability that Gao Pan brought them at this moment.

Gao Pan asked the two of them what they did for a living, and Peng Lanshu said proudly that she had learned needlework from her mother since she was a child.

Therefore, occasionally he can do needlework for others, while Peng Ming runs errands for others outside.

At first they were able to make ends meet with this, but when it came time to pay off their debts, the two siblings simply couldn't come up with so much money.

The debt collectors of the Du family didn't care how much they had, and they harassed them every day if they couldn't get any money, so that they had no choice but to hide.

To this day, Du Xiangming suddenly heard something and came to ask the two of them for debts in person.

In order to avoid debt collectors, the siblings had no money and could only hide in a dilapidated house outside the city. They were so hungry that Peng Ming went out and stole two steamed buns to satisfy their hunger.

Therefore, Gao Pan happened to bump into him.

"Brother, you can order me around as you like in the future, as long as you can give me a full meal!"

Like a man, Peng Ming patted his chest and stood in front of his sister Peng Lanshu, looking very responsible.

"Okay! This looks like a man. From tomorrow on, you can follow me... However, if you can't read, you can't do it. I will teach you tomorrow!"

Gao Pan saw that Peng Ming had a good eye, so he thought that training Peng Ming to be a useful person is indeed not bad.

"Thank you, my lord...Little brother, quickly thank you, my lord..."

Seeing this, Peng Lanshu quickly knelt down in front of Gao Pan, and asked Peng Ming to kneel down to thank him.

Seeing this, Gao Pan couldn't laugh or cry, and quickly motioned to Lu Rong who was beside him to help them get up.

He also pretended to be sullen and told them, don't kneel down at every turn, especially in front of him, let alone do so!
After hearing this, Peng Ming and Peng Lanshu felt a warm current rushing through their bodies.

Although Gao Pan's words were reprimands, what he said was for their own good, which made the two of them not only very grateful, but also more determined to repay Gao Pan's thoughts.

Lu Rong, on the other hand, looked at the scene before him in amazement. Gao Pan at this moment, in his eyes, was like a different person.

When he was in Gao's house before, Gao Pan had always been taciturn and stuttered when talking with others.

Ever since Gao Pan woke up last night, Lu Rong found that Gao Pan had a different temperament from before.

What surprised Lu Rong even more was that Gao Pan took Peng Ming and Peng Lanshu back to the county government for shelter.

Lu Rong felt that if it was Gao Pan from before, he would have been far away, so how could he have spoken half a word to people like them.

But at this moment, Gao Pan was chatting and laughing with Peng Ming and his siblings like relatives, which made Lu Rong feel a little dazed for a while!

It wasn't until around Xu time that Gao Pan and the others dispersed. Peng Ming went back to the room by himself, while Peng Lanshu was going to follow Gao Pan.

"Miss Peng, why are you doing this? Go and rest?"

After Gao Pan got up, he realized that Peng Lanshu was actually following behind him instead of going back to his room, so he said hastily.

After hearing this, Peng Lanshu's eyes flashed with disappointment, but she bit her lip and said softly:
"Your Excellency looks down on slaves, servants are only serving adults to sleep, and will never appear in front of adults!"

After Gao Pan heard this, he looked a little stunned, shook his head, quickly called Lu Rong, explained to Lu Rong, and walked away.

Seeing this, Peng Lanshu was very puzzled, and was about to keep up, but was stopped by Lu Rong, and said with a smile:

"Miss Peng, it's not that the young master doesn't like you, it's just that the girl is still a girl who hasn't left the court, how can she often go in and out of the man's room? The young master said that there are other maids in his room to serve, so I don't need Miss Peng to do these lowly things... ..."

After listening to Lu Rong's explanation, Peng Lanshu's expression changed instantly, and her heart instantly brightened.

It turned out that it wasn't that he looked down on him, he... was actually trying to protect his reputation?
But Peng Lanshu knew that a person like herself would not be treated like a lady from a wealthy family, and it would be good if she could survive.

"Thank you, Uncle Rong, for letting me know. I don't care about fame or not. If it wasn't for my lord today, my brother and I would probably be bloodied on the spot. If so, I'm willing to serve you..."

Peng Lanshu said very firmly, and then followed Gao Pan's figure without looking back.

Seeing this, Lu Rong's expression changed slightly, and he stopped trying to stop him. He shook his head slightly and looked at Peng Lanshu who was leaving.

But he thought in his heart that when he was in the Gao Mansion, the young master didn't even have a decent personal maid by his side. If Miss Peng treated each other sincerely, she would be a good personal maid, and he would be able to relax a lot.

As soon as Gao Pan stepped into the door of his main house, he heard Peng Lanshu's footsteps from behind.

Looking back at the resolute Peng Lanshu, Gao Pan instantly understood what she was thinking. Seeing that she still wanted to explain, Gao Pan quickly stopped her and said:
"Forget it, since you have such a heart, let you come to serve in the house, but don't publicize it to the outside world. Both, leave the rough and heavy work to those rough envoys and maids!"

After hearing this, Peng Lanshu's face was very happy, and even the corners of her eyes were about to shed tears of excitement.

When Gao Pan saw her, he even shook his head and sighed, thinking, it's rare for such a kind-hearted girl, hoping to live the life she expects in the future instead of being entangled in common things.

After thinking about it, he called all the maids and wives in the backyard, a total of four maids and three wives.

Gao Pan introduced Peng Lanshu in front of them, and told them that they had to obey Peng Lanshu for any work in the house, otherwise, they would be punished as a crime.

Seeing that Gao Pan was not very old, but he was wearing an official uniform and holding the posture of an official, several maids and women had no choice but to bow their heads and agree.

However, several people looked a little disapproving, and some even curled their lips, as if they were very disdainful.

Gao Pan looked at the expressions of several people, and thought to himself, it seems that I have time, so I have to clean up my backyard?

Otherwise, looking at these maids and women with disapproval, even disdainful expressions on their faces, I don't know who these people are stuffed in to spy on me!
