Hope for luck

Chapter 505 Time flies
Shen Jinhua's confession made Gao Pan feel relieved, but at the same time, he also thought about whether to welcome Ning Yan into the door.

After all, the two of them knew each other's existence long ago, but Gao Pan deceived himself so that the two could not see each other in order to maintain the superficial peace and tranquility.

Regarding Gao Pan's idea, Shen Jinhua just smiled slightly, saying that Gao Pan made up his own mind, and she obeyed Gao Pan.

This made Gao Pan feel difficult, Shen Jinhua said that he listened to him, but Gao Pan keenly grasped that Shen Jinhua didn't want Ning Yan to come in.

After thinking about it, Gao Pan also understood Shen Jinhua's thoughts. Speaking of which, in Gao Pan's heart, Ning Yan and Shen Jinhua had the same status.

If there is only one first wife, Gao Pan would like to make Ning Yan his first wife.

In this way, there is no one in the backyard, which is naturally inappropriate. This is probably why Shen Jinhua let Gao Pan make up his mind.

This made Gao Pan's scalp tingle, and after finishing dressing for Shen Jinhua, Gao Pan didn't bother to sit in the yamen, so he went to Qianying Villa instead.

Now that his transfer is semi-public, Gao Pan's boss will not take too much notice of Gao Pan and let him go.

After arriving at Qianying Villa, Gao Pan severely punished Ning Yan, blaming her for not telling him earlier.

While Ning Yan blushed, she couldn't help but said aggrievedly:

"Even if you tell me, Mr. Xiang, will you let the concubine in?"

Gao Pan was stunned by these words, and finally looked at Ning Yan with guilt, shook his head slightly, and nodded again:
"When I return to Beijing, I will let the two of you in. Just this time, go to the south to avenge Luoying..."

"If I go back to Beijing again, I'll ask my grandfather for instructions. Let us divide the five rooms separately, and buy another courtyard outside. You can live there, and you don't need to look at anyone's face!"

Hearing what Gao Pan said, she was about to go to the south, and Ning Yan also jumped up happily:

"Go to the south, okay, my husband, this time I have to stay in the south for a while..."

Seeing this, Gao Pan smiled bitterly and said:

"Yan'er, are you going to go south with me?"

Ning Yan opened her beautiful eyes wide and nodded firmly:
"Naturally, my concubine has lived here for a long time, and I have long wanted to live in another place. Since my husband is going to the south, why doesn't my concubine go?"

After Gao Pan heard this, he couldn't laugh or cry. He originally only planned to take Luoying with him. After all, the magistrate's term of office should not be long. If Ning Yan was to follow, there would be too many things to prepare.

But seeing Ning Yan cheering happily, Gao Pan didn't want to win her over, so he finally agreed.

However, Gao Pan still reminded Ning Yan that he had to take the official boat, if Ning Yan wanted to go with him, he had to get ready to salute earlier, and it was best not to prepare too much.

Ning Yan happily agreed, and couldn't wait to tell the maids to pack their bags.

Ning Yan naturally also has selfish intentions. She knows that Gao Pan is going to work in other places, and Shen Jinhua's temperament will naturally not follow Gao Pan. What's more, Shen Jinhua is pregnant at the moment, which is even more impossible.

Nowadays, it is rare to have the opportunity to let Gao Pan stay by her side every day, Ning Yan will naturally not let go of this opportunity, and will go south with Gao Pan no matter what.

And when Gao Pan informed Luoying of the news and told her that he was going to avenge her by the way this time, Luoying couldn't help but threw herself into Gao Pan's arms and cried:
"Woo... I thought the young master had forgotten it... I didn't expect the young master to keep it in my heart!"

Seeing that she was crying instantly, Gao Pan trembled in his heart. He gently held her in his arms, wiped her tears gently, and said softly:
"Silly girl, I naturally remember, if it wasn't for being too far apart, I would have wanted to end this past for you a long time ago!"

"I still remember your real name, Jin Qiaoyan. Both your parents died in a fire. Someone set this fire on purpose, right?"

Seeing that Gao Pan remembered so clearly, Luo Ying's tears rolled down again, this time it was not because she was moved by Gao Pan, but because it reminded her of her parents.

Gao Pan's words touched her heart, so her eyes were filled with tears, and she cried:
"Young man... the parents of the slave family died unjustly, they... they should have lived well... the young master must avenge this slave for the slave!"

After Gao Pan heard this, he was filled with pity, and gently held her pink face in his palm, taking care of her and said:

"Don't worry, this time your young master, I am the magistrate. Don't say that the father-in-law and mother-in-law were murdered on purpose, even if it was unintentional, they will be severely punished!"

Luo Ying suddenly heard the point of Gao Pan's words, and couldn't help but blushed and asked:

"Master... what did you just say?"

Gao Pan naturally understood what Luoying wanted to ask, so he said frankly:

"Father-in-law and mother-in-law, you are my wife, so your parents are naturally my father-in-law and mother-in-law. Don't you want me to say that?"

After Luoying heard this, she laughed through tears:
"Pfft...Young master, slave...What is your identity, how can you be called a young master? I only hope that the young master can avenge this slave for my father and mother, and I will die without regret!"

Seeing Luo Ying's sweet smile, there was an indescribable charm and beauty, Gao Pan's heart warmed up, and he said slowly:

"It's time, of course it's time, since you handed over everything to me, my husband has already been your man, and I've been your man for the rest of my life..."

After finishing speaking, Gao Pan put his lips together...

"Uh... less..."

Then there was only the sound of Luoying's whimpering in the room, and Ning Yan, who was eavesdropping outside the room, couldn't help but spit softly with a blushing jade face, and left in a hurry, and ordered the maid to guard the door so that no one would come in and disturb her up.

In Ning Yan's heart, she naturally hoped that Gao Pan would be alone by her side, but she also understood that, let alone Shen Jinhua, there must be a maid like Luo Ying in Gao Pan's room, otherwise, outsiders would also gossip.

However, when she thought of Gao Pan hugging one for a while, and comforting the other softly, Ning Yan couldn't help but feel relieved in the end, as it was her fate.

……

In the 18th year of Tianfeng, at the end of the first month.

Gao Pan took Ning Yan, Luo Ying, Cong Yu and others on an official boat, down the canal, and went south to serve as the magistrate of Guangling Prefecture.

On the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, Gao Pan received a transfer order, and the original head of the household department was transferred from the left to the prefect of Guangling Prefecture.

This kind of promotion is quite rare. After all, Gao Pan did not come from a major, and he was able to enter the official career by relying on his status as a half-baked Guozijian dropout.

If it is a Jinshi with a serious academic background, it is difficult for Gao Pan to cross two levels at a time after being granted the magistrate. In just three years, Gao Pan has already secured the position of magistrate.

Ordinary county magistrates, no matter how good the evaluation is, it is difficult to cross the hurdle of magistrate in a lifetime, what's more, they will only be a seventh-rank magistrate in their entire life.

Of course, if there are people in the court, it is naturally a different matter. It is just like Gao Pan, who was not born in a major, but can rise to the top, which is really unbelievable.
