Hope for luck

Chapter 180
In the inner city of the capital, in the alley named Xintong Lane, Shen Jinhua is currently busy preparing for her family's residence in Beijing.

Shen Yiling felt sorry for her nephews and nieces, and sent many servants from the Hou Mansion to pack their bags, arrange new furnishings, daily utensils, etc. for them.

And Gao Pan brought people here early, and Shen Jinhua, who was instructing a group of servants at the door, suddenly saw Gao Pan's figure at this moment, and felt suddenly stunned.

After a closer look, it was at Gao Pan's time that his heart suddenly jumped, as if he was about to jump out. In his eyes, there was only Gao Pan not far away at this moment.

It was only when the servants at the side asked Shen Jinhua for instructions that she realized that she quickly asked the steward to take over the work in hand, and she brought Luo Ying to Gao Pan's side in a dignified manner.

"Master Gao, why are you here?"

The first sentence between the two turned into a very ordinary greeting, which made Gao Pan tremble in his heart, with a smile on his face:

"I heard that your mansion is moving today, so I wanted to bring someone over here to see if I could help, who knows...!"

In the end, Gao Pan himself was a little ashamed. The busy crowd in front of Shen's house and the few people he brought were simply a comparison between the world and the underground.

Gao Pan thought that the Shen family was just a merchant's house, and how grand it could be, but after coming here, Gao Pan knew that he was small.

As far as the lintel of Shen's mansion is concerned, it is not bad compared to ordinary rich and powerful mansions, not to mention the mansions in the inner city of the capital are extremely expensive.

Gao Pan had inquired that the average three-entry house in the inner city would cost 5000 taels of silver to start with. The scale of the current sinking house must exceed the three-entry house, and it is estimated that it cannot be bought without tens of thousands of taels of silver.

You know, the best fertile land near Gyeonggi is only seven or eight taels per mu, and the most expensive fine grains are only three taels of silver and one stone.

Gao Pan understood that he underestimated the Shen family, and after thinking about it, he was relieved, after all, the Shen family's imperial business name was not just for talking.

Seeing that Gao Pan was a little unnatural, and then looking at the boys following him, he knew that he had good intentions, so he quickly and generously replied:

"Thank you Mr. Gao for your kindness. The house has not been settled yet. Otherwise, I will invite Mr. Gao to come in and sit down. As for helping me, I can still be busy. You don't need Mr. Gao to worry!"

After Gao Pan listened, he nodded subconsciously, and then asked:

"I heard that your family received a strange mission before, so it should be gone by now?"

When Shen Jinhua heard this, her heart moved, and after staring at Gao Pan with almond eyes, she asked suspiciously:

"How did Mr. Gao know about this?"

Gao Pan didn't know how to explain it to her, so he had to prevaricate, which made Shen Jinhua very surprised. However, the clever she soon thought, maybe Gao Pan has been caring about their family's affairs?
Thinking of this, the longing in Shen Jinhua's heart surged up, and there was tenderness and amused look in her eyes.

"Gao Pan, you still dare to come here, find it!"

At this moment, an inappropriate remark appeared, but it was Shen Jieli who suddenly walked out.

Seeing his younger sister talking to a man at the door, there was instant anger in his eyes, and when he saw clearly that the man was Gao Pan, he became even more annoyed in his heart, and came up with fists raised.

"Brother! Stop!"

Shen Jinhua exclaimed, she just suddenly thought of the strange thing Shen Yiling told her before.

Just when he was about to ask Gao Pan for clarification, he saw Shen Jieli rushing up recklessly again, and quickly called out to Shen Jieli with a coquettish shout.

Shen Jieli turned his head and looked at Shen Jinhua with puzzlement and resentment, as if he was questioning her, why did she stop him?

Seeing this, Shen Jinhua pulled Shen Jieli to the side and explained.

"Brother, do you know that the Ministry of Internal Affairs suddenly stopped making things difficult for our family this time, whose credit is it?"

Naturally, Shen Jieli didn't know Shen Jinhua's question, he didn't even know where the House of Internal Affairs was.

"I reckon it's Mr. Gao's credit. If it wasn't for him, our family might be in trouble!"

Shen Jinhua attributed all the credit for the resolution of the Shen family's crisis to Gao Pan, but she completely forgot that if Cui Fujin hadn't told the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, how would she have known about these things?
"How is it possible, just him?"

Shen Jieli's face was full of disbelief, and he glanced at Gao Pan from the corner of his eye, seeing that Gao Pan was standing calmly on the spot at the moment, neither in a hurry nor in a hurry, but it overturned his perception of Gao Pan at once.

"Brother is too contemptuous of others. He is the young master of Quanguo Duke's Mansion. I heard from my aunt that the person who delivered the message to the House of Internal Affairs is Mr. Dong, the chief assistant of the dynasty. Brother thinks, when did our Shen family come to have such a big face? Let Master Shoufu speak for our family?"

The more Shen Jinhua talked, the more she felt that this matter was Gao Pan's doing, otherwise, it would be difficult to explain this matter, and Gao Pan happened to inquire about this matter just now, which indirectly verified this idea.

After hearing this, Shen Jieli was very surprised. He understood what Shen Jinhua wanted to express, but he didn't have a good impression of Gao Pan at first, and he always felt that Gao Pan was his enemy.

"Brother, although I don't know what you think in your heart, but when I was in Dongshan, if it wasn't for him, my sister and I would have died in Huangquan long ago. He was also the one who sponsored us to come to Beijing all the way, and the current crisis in our family was solved by him. , he is kind to us, brother must not treat him as an enemy like before!"

Seeing that Shen Jieli still looked unbelievable, Shen Jinhua persuaded him anxiously.

"Sister... you are... Do you want me to treat him as a brother-in-law?"

Shen Jieli suddenly became enlightened, and he finally heard that Shen Jinhua's words were all defending Gao Pan, but his own brother, on the contrary, was like an outsider and a sinner, so he couldn't help but ask back.

As soon as she said this, Shen Jinhua was instantly speechless, and her pink face was instantly flushed with red, but she didn't know if it was because of shame or anger?
"Brother, you can think whatever you want!"

After hearing Shen Jinhua's words, she walked towards the house with a cold face, making Shen Jieli feel a little horrified for a moment, knowing that he had said something wrong.

He wanted to catch up to explain, but he didn't know how to speak, watching Shen Jinhua slowly disappear from his eyes.

Gao Pan has been watching from the sidelines, and he still can't hear the conversation between the two, but Shen Jinhua's sudden departure made Gao Pan's heart skip a beat.

Then he walked to Shen Jieli's side, and seeing him in a daze, Gao Pan really wanted to punch him again, so that even his own sister could be driven away.

"It's no wonder that the Ministry of Internal Affairs sent such a mission to your Shen family. It turns out that it is to bully no one in the Shen family. Ms. Shen is a rare person who can be pissed to death by your useless brother!"

Gao Pan's sudden sarcasm made Shen Jieli even more angry. If it had been before, he would have raised his fists.

But right now, Shen Jinhua suddenly walked away, and Gao Pan mentioned the Ministry of Internal Affairs, which verified Shen Jinhua's previous words, and he suddenly didn't know what to do.
