Hope for luck

Chapter 507 Difficulties
Gao Pan's emotion, just came for a moment, and soon dissipated.

When passing through Jeju City, Gao Pan got off the boat to visit Ye Haikun, governor of Dongshan.

Two years ago, because of Gao Pan's idea, Ye Haikun shocked all the gentry in Dongshan, so that these gentry had to obediently hand over their silver taels to pay taxes.

And last year, Dongshan's annual tax was doubled, allowing Ye Haikun to be rewarded by Emperor Tianfeng.

At this time, seeing that Gao Pan was already the magistrate, Ye Haikun also congratulated him a few words, and encouraged him a few words, telling Gao Pan to be careful in everything, so as not to disappoint Dong Pingzhang's expectations of him.

Gao Pan responded one by one, and at the same time asked Ye Haikun to take care of himself.

After leaving Jeju City, Gao Pan met Xie Yujun who was waiting for him in Lanhe Mansion.

This time Gao Pan became the magistrate, and Xie Yujun was transferred to be the co-prefect of Guangling Mansion, which was another road paved by Dong Pingzhang for Gao Pan.

Just like in Dantang County before, Xie Yujun is still Gao Pan's attack this time, so Gao Pan can quickly open up the situation.

When seeing Xie Yujun, Gao Pan was also very happy, and took him and Gao Ming to have a drink in the cabin.

Both Gao Pan and Gao Ming naturally called Xie Yujun the big brother-in-law. Xie Yujun is rare to have such a limelight at this moment, so naturally he will not let it go.

After drinking and eating, Gao Ming retreated, and only Gao Pan and Xie Yujun were left in the room. Gao Pan talked about the difficulties they were about to encounter this time.

Xie Yujun said with a bitter face:
"Hey, every time I come out with you, there are a lot of problems. Last time I was in Dantang County, I encountered rebellion and riots. This time, there are so many difficulties..."

"You and I, prefects and fellow prefects, might as well not do anything and just face difficulties!"

After Gao Pan heard it, he said helplessly:

"It's hard to be an official. If you don't want to go, I won't force you. Just stay in Shangning Mansion!"

These words made Xie Yujun's face stagnate for an instant, and then he shook his head:

"Forget it, follow you, at least you have to think about it for me. In Shangning Mansion, the prefect's nostrils are up to the sky. My fellow prefect, don't say how difficult it is!"

Upon hearing this, Gao Pan patted him on the shoulder and said seriously:

"Since that's the case, then go with me to manage the Guangling Mansion well, and create a grand occasion for a new government..."

Before he finished speaking, Xie Yujun interrupted him:

"Fifth brother, it's not as simple as we are in Dantang County now. This Guangling prefecture city has seven counties under its jurisdiction, and it is also the gathering place of the world's grain roads, salt roads, and tea roads..."

"It can be said that dragons and snakes are mixed, there are several officials who are older than us, not to mention, there are Jiangnan governors, inspectors and other superiors!"

Hearing this, Gao Pan frowned and thought for a while, then encouraged:
"Brother-in-law, we will always encounter many tribulations. These are all good. The most terrifying thing is that dark old fox Liao Jie!"

"This old fox, who has been an official for half his life, is an extremely personable minister, and now he is at home. Our New Deal has never touched the interests of a gentry like him. I don't know what kind of difficult situation is waiting for us!"

After saying this, Xie Yujun had nothing to say, and both of them were relatively speechless.

After a long time, Gao Pan raised his glass and said softly:
"Brother-in-law, no matter what, we can't escape now. Even if we get bloody in the end, we must work hard for the well-being of the people of the world! Come on, drink this cup!"

Xie Yujun didn't refuse either, picked up the wine glass, clinked the glass with Gao Pan, then raised his head to drink, and encouraged:

"Okay, I believe in your resourcefulness, fifth brother. When we went to Dantang County last time, we were already at a dead end, but in the end, you were able to revive us. This time, I believe, it is the same!"

After listening to Gao Pan, he knew that Xie Yujun was encouraging each other with him, so he also praised Xie Yujun.

The two drank another round, and then dispersed, each with the help of their own maids, into their respective rooms.

Gao Pan took his female relatives with him, so Xie Yujun naturally did too. Just like Gao Pan, Xie Yujun brought his concubine with him, leaving Gao Ruoqian, his official wife, in the capital.

As soon as Gao Pan entered the room, he was lectured by Congyu:

"My lord, why do you drink so much? Madam told the maidservant to persuade me to drink less wine!"

At this moment, Gao Pan was getting drunk, he couldn't hear these words, he didn't care whether he answered or not, he picked him up by the waist, and went to bed.

...

In the next room, Luo Ying, who was serving Ning Yan, heard the voice of the next door, and couldn't help but spit:

"Miss, listen, he doesn't know how to dodge one or two things, let us two stay here, and go off on his own..."

Ning Yan was lying lazily on the seat at the moment, her tight body was just embedded in the chair, looking very comfortable and comfortable.

Seeing her gently closing her beautiful eyes again, after listening to Luoying's words, she lightly opened her vermilion lips:
"If you're not upset, go and remind him, man, he just isn't satisfied, and now there's another subordinate beside him..."

After a pause, Ning Yan opened her beautiful eyes and said slowly:
"I just don't know, whose language is this obedience?"

Luo Ying blushed, and hurriedly explained:
"Miss... that Congyu, I know, she is not scheming, she used to be a second-class maid in front of Miss Hua."

After Ning Yan heard this, she stopped asking and waved her hand:

"That being the case, let them go..."

Seeing Ning Yan being so magnanimous, Luoying was slightly startled. She just reminded Ning Yan that she just wanted to see Ning Yan's reaction. Unexpectedly, Ning Yan didn't care that there was an extra woman beside Gao Pan.

Speaking of which, Luoying was rather worried at the moment, the appearance of this subordinate language seemed to have begun to threaten her status.

If it were before, Gao Pan would definitely come to her, and it would definitely not be someone else by her side.

Thinking of this, Luo Ying became jealous, gritted her teeth, and walked gently to the next room.

After Luo Ying left, Ning Yan opened her eyes slightly, shook her head lightly, a cunning flashed in her eyes.

How could Ning Yan, who is ice-snow and smart, not understand Luo Ying's temptation, but in Ning Yan's heart, no matter how many women Gao Pan had around her, she never worried.

What's more, this Congyu is just a servant girl, so she won't pose a threat to her status.

It was Luoying's reaction, she had been watching it all the time, now that Luoying actually went to the next door, Ning Yan was a little worried that Luoying would suffer.

But after a while, after hearing Luoying's voice from the next door, Ning Yan couldn't help but blushed, and spat:
"What a shameless bum..."

After all, Ning Yan gritted her teeth, got up and walked into the next room.
