Hope for luck

Chapter 240
In front of the Prince's Mansion of Hejian County.

Gao Pan followed the congratulatory crowd and walked slowly towards the door. In front of the county palace, there were already servants registering something, and there were people on the side calling the rolls. For example, if a certain master of a certain family came to congratulate him, what did he give? gifts and such.

"Hey, isn't this Gao Pan from the Gao family? Why, you Gao family don't feel shabby with such a small gift?"

At this moment, Gao Pan suddenly heard a familiar voice of disdain, turned around and saw that it was King Liang who had been reprimanded by Emperor Tianfeng before.

After many days, this King Liang appeared again!

Last time, he was reprimanded by Emperor Tianfeng for trying to protect Ouyang Bin of Dingyuan Hou's family. After that, Gao Pan stopped paying attention to this ridiculous prince.

"The King of Liang has seen His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness, who is thousands of years old. What His Royal Highness said is wrong. As the saying goes, courtesy is light and affection is heavy. Xiaosheng thinks that anyone who can come to give gifts is a distinguished guest!"

Gao Pan did not lose his etiquette, and replied very respectfully.

This made the bystanders who originally planned to watch the excitement all secretly praised him, all of them were inquiring about which family Gao Pan belonged to. Facing Liang Wang's accusation, they still calmly dealt with it, which is really amazing.

"Hmph, you're so glib. If you say it like that, everyone should just bring some small gifts? You can. The Prince's Mansion in Hejian County is a marriage gifted by the emperor himself. How dare you deal with it like this? Does it mean that there is something wrong?" Respect?"

However, King Liang still does not intend to let Gao Pan go. At the previous winter solstice gathering, Gao Pan could be regarded as the one who stole the limelight, and his wishful thinking was in vain.

Most importantly, what happened later was beyond his expectation. The Wei family of Jingcheng Hou's Mansion was confiscated because of Gao Pan.

This Wei family was one of the few nobles by his side, and they were rare nobles with real power, and they disappeared immediately because of their high popularity.

After hearing the news, King Liang was so angry that he couldn't eat for a few days, and he was so angry every day that he slowly recovered in the past few days.

Today, I happened to see Gao Pan in the crowd, and King Liang naturally wished that Gao Pan would be charged with some crime immediately, and it would be best if he could be beheaded and disappear from this world.

Hearing King Liang's malicious accusation, Gao Pan was not afraid. The moment he saw King Liang, Gao Pan had already guessed the purpose of King Liang's coming here.

The Prince's Mansion of Hejian County had been silent for a long time, but because his ancestor was the title of the Duke of the County, he had been supporting the facade of the Prince's Mansion, so he was naturally not considered a noble family that attracted much attention.

It was just that suddenly, the eldest lady of the Prince's Mansion of Hejian County was personally married by Emperor Tianfeng, and the person who gave the marriage was the Jingxi Hou Mansion, the home of real power and nobles.

The reason why King Liang, Gao Pan guessed, was that he was going to win him over again, or came to get acquainted with him.

At this moment, upon hearing his groundless accusations, Gao Pan raised his eyebrows slightly, and then said calmly:

"His Royal Highness Liang Wang is serious. The Gao family came to congratulate the gift with great respect. This is the greatest respect for the emperor and the palace of Hejian County, and there is no disrespect at all!"

The sudden blockage at the door also made the stewards inside to immediately report the situation to Xie Yousheng, the head of the Prince's Mansion of Hejian County, who is also Xie Yujun's father and currently leads the title of General of the Fu Kingdom.

Hearing that King Liang had an argument with Gao Pan at the door, Xie Yousheng and Xie Yujun hurried towards the door.

"Your Majesty Xie Yousheng and Xie Yu both visited His Royal Highness King Liang. Your Highness is coming. Why didn't you inform me earlier so that I could prepare to welcome you sooner!"

Xie Yousheng saluted Liang Wang very politely, and then said politely.

Seeing this, King Liang waved his hands and said:

"Uncle Clan, you are being polite. Speaking of which, our ancestors can be regarded as relatives. Since it is the uncle's daughter's wedding, the king will naturally come to congratulate him!"

"I can't afford to be called the uncle of the royal family of Liang. I hope His Royal Highness will take back the golden mouth and call the minister's name. It is freezing outside. Please come in and sit on the house with His Royal Highness Liang!"

Xie Youcheng hurriedly shook his head and bowed back.

"Don't worry, Uncle Clan, let's see what this is? This is Gao Pan from the Duke of Quanguo. He presumably came here to congratulate the Gao family. It's just that the cart is full of gifts, but not even one of them can be put on the table. !"

Liang Wang was looking for trouble, so he would not give up easily, so he pointed to a carriage behind Gao Pan, and said with contempt, this is a congratulatory gift prepared by Gao Ruoqian and the others.

"Congratulations to Shiweng's family for marrying a daughter, the boy Gao Pan, on behalf of the Quanguo Mansion, I wish the young lady of your family a happy wedding and a happy marriage for a hundred years...!"

Seeing this, Gao Pan didn't take Liang Wang's words to heart, but congratulated Xie Youcheng quite politely.

Xie Yujun, who was behind Xie Yousheng, had also seen Gao Pan a long time ago, and gave Gao Pan a few winks, as if asking what was going on, but Gao Pan just returned a helpless look.

"Ha ha ha... Thank you nephew, is your old man still in good health?"

Seeing this, Xie Yousheng quickly returned the gift and asked politely.

"You miss Lao Shiweng, grandpa is still in good health..."

"That's fine, that's fine..."

Seeing that Xie Youcheng and Gao Pan were still chatting, Liang Wang looked very embarrassed and coughed heavily, as if reminding Xie Youcheng of what he had said before.

Only then did Xie Yousheng come to his senses, and quickly said:

"Your Highness, it's too cold outside, why don't you go inside?"

Liang Wang naturally refused:

"How can my grandfather be named in the clan's mansion. The two are married by the emperor himself. This Gao Pan is carrying such a small gift. How can he pass through the door? Isn't this an insult to our royal family?"

Seeing that King Liang once again put a high hat on himself, Gao Pan still took the words calmly and said:

"His Royal Highness Liang, I have already answered His Highness's words just now. This gift is no longer important, and the most important thing is the heart. Could it be that in the heart of His Royal Highness Liang, only the most respectful is the most serious, and it is considered the respect for the royal family?" ?”

"Oh, that's natural... Uncle Clan, I don't have any gifts to give, so I have to take out the insignificant things in the palace as gifts, and Uncle Clan accepts them with a smile!"

Liang Wang seemed to be waiting for Gao Pan's words, and said to Xie Youcheng rather 'ashamedly', and waved again, and then saw a few people coming over carrying a gift, covered with a red cloth, invisible What's inside.

Seeing this, Gao Pan understood why King Liang wanted to talk about the gift. It turned out that he had already prepared a big gift.

If Gao Pan can't come up with a gift that is as good as his, or a better gift, King Liang can say openly that Gao Pan doesn't respect the Prince's Mansion of Hejian County.

Although it couldn't cause any real harm to Gao Pan, King Liang felt that it was enough for him to vent his anger if he could embarrass Gao Pan and the Gao family in public.

"This...is actually a coral bonsai tree from the South China Sea?"

"Yeah, I heard that someone spent 3 taels of silver and couldn't buy it back then. So it was in Prince Liang's mansion?"

"3 taels of silver, is it true...?"

"Naturally it is true. This is a rare high-quality coral tree. It has not undergone any damage and is very precious..."

After the King of Liang signaled for people to uncover the presents, everyone around them exclaimed, and some even recognized the value of some presents on the spot.
