Hope for luck

Chapter 442
Seeing Gao Lanshu next to Gao Ruoqian, Gao Pan's eyes flashed with amazement, but after not seeing him for half a year, Gao Lanshu became more and more extravagant.

Gao Lanshu in front of her was dressed in a turquoise brocade dress, her eyes were bright and graceful, she was slim, and Gao Pan secretly praised her as a lady.

Recalling a year ago, when Gao Pan met her for the first time, she was just a yellow-haired girl who was displaced and forced to make a living.

Looking at Gao Lanshu now, it was as if she had been reborn, which made Gao Pan both amazed and embarrassed.

It can be said that what kind of people grow up in what kind of environment. Gao Lanshu in front of her is really a dignified and elegant lady.

The last time Gao Pan saw her, he had already noticed her change, but he didn't expect that Gao Lanshu, who hadn't seen her for half a year, had really transformed from an ugly duckling into a white swan.

Xu felt that Gao Pan's eyes were looking at him frequently, so Gao Lanshu came to Gao Pan quite generously and asked:

"Fifth brother, why didn't the seventh brother come back with you?"

Seeing Gao Lanshu's frown, smile, step and movement, which coincided with everyone's ladylike intentions, Gao Pan's heart skipped a beat, as if he saw a very noble girl and asked him a question, he was stunned for a moment, dumbfounded Gao Lanshu looked at Gao Lanshu silently.

Seeing this, Gao Ruoqian and Lu Sixuan hurriedly reminded Gao Pan not to stare at his sister so closely.

Although Gao Lanshu's pretty face was flushed, she didn't look too shy, and kept looking at Gao Pan generously.

Following the reminders of Gao Ruoqian and Lu Sixuan, Gao Pan also reacted, knowing that he had lost his composure, and hurriedly said with a smile:

"I'm sorry, third sister. I haven't seen you for half a year. Seeing you is like a change. Please don't blame me for losing your composure for a while."

After hearing this, Gao Lanshu felt a little shy:

"What did fifth brother say, I... have always been like this, how has it changed?"

As she said that, Gao Lanshu lowered her head slightly, not daring to look at Gao Pan any more. Gao Ruoqian and Lu Sixuan were puzzled what was going on with them.

But he didn't think much about it, and hurriedly asked Gao Pan about Gao Ming, the youngest descendant of the Gao family.

Seeing this, Gao Pan said calmly:

"He is now Brother Yujun's right-hand man, because there are still many things in Dantang County that need his help, so I will ask him to help Brother Yujun there for a while before we talk about it."

When Gao Ruoqian heard the news, her pretty face flushed slightly, and she corrected Gao Pan's mistake in addressing her:

"Brother Yujun, that's your brother-in-law, so it must be big or small."

Hearing this, Gao Pan stared at Gao Ruoqian in a daze, but seeing her blushing and putting on the elder sister's airs to preach, he couldn't help crying or laughing.

In the end, I had no choice but to prevaricate and perfunctory a few words, even if I got over it.

Gao Ruoqian also knew Gao Pan's temperament, some things were difficult for her to change, so she didn't mention it any more, and talked about Gao Pan's marriage.

After Gao Pan said that the wedding was scheduled for the eighth day of September one month later, the three of them felt that it was too soon.

"Fifth brother, why are you in such a hurry, have you finished all the six rituals?" Gao Ruoqian couldn't help asking.

Gao Pan smiled and said:
"Haha, actually, I still think it's too late. As for the marriage, naturally, the sooner the better, lest you have long nights and dreams..."

The three of them were a little dissatisfied with this explanation, but they could all feel Gao Pan's importance and joy in the marriage, so they didn't say anything more.

Afterwards, Lu Sixuan, the young lady in charge of the family, started talking to Gao Pan about the wedding arrangements.

A month is neither long nor short. After all, it is the first son of the fifth house who is marrying his first wife, so no matter what, it has to be lively and formal, and the preparations have to start now.

"Sister-in-law, for the wedding expenses, except for some small expenses in the house, all the rest come to me to withdraw money. For this wedding, I don't need to rely on my family."

Talking about the preparations for the wedding, Gao Pan looked very heroic, and frowned at what Lu Sixuan said:

"By the way, you have to make it clear to your aunt that the expenses of my wedding will not be paid from my father-in-law. Don't say that I'm a big spender, and I will pay all the money myself!"

Seeing Gao Pan's toughness, both Gao Ruoqian and Lu Sixuan secretly admired him, and Gao Pan had such confidence.

Lu Sixuan even said with emotion:
"It still has to be you, fifth brother, but you don't know that for your third brother's marriage, the second aunt earlier went to the Neifang Hall to ask questions from time to time, just because she was afraid that something might go wrong in the third brother's wedding."

After Gao Pan listened, he seemed to hear something, and asked softly:

"What's the rules for the third brother's wedding?"

Lu Sixuan thought for a while before replying:
"According to my grandfather's wishes, the public house will contribute [-]% of the capital, and the second house will pay the rest. Because of this, the second aunt is still dissatisfied every day."

"Yes, when your eldest brother and I got married, we used the public silver. Why do we have to pay some silver when we get to the second room?"

After Gao Pan listened, he frowned secretly:
"Sister-in-law, is there a shortage of money in the public house?"

Lu Sixuan's expression changed when she heard the words, and after looking at Gao Ruoqian beside her, seeing Gao Ruoqian nodding her head slightly, she nodded and said:
"That's right, although our family has a lot of income, but in fact... it's been a loss for a long time, and most of the money can't be recovered now. In addition to your marriage and the marriage of the second sister, all of these are It's the big head, so my grandfather had no choice but to ask Erfang to pay a little more..."

After hearing this, Gao Pan was stunned for a while, and then became a little silent. After a while, he looked at Lu Sixuan and said:

"Since that's the case, I will make up for the rest of the third brother's wedding. As for my own marriage, I don't need to pay any money from the public. Come to me to get everything!"

After hearing this, Lu Sixuan looked at Gao Pan with wide almond eyes:

"Fifth brother, even for the simplest marriage, our family has to prepare at least three to fifty thousand taels of silver. You... where did you get so much money?"

Gao Pan raised the corner of his mouth and replied:

"Sister-in-law, you forgot, my fiancée has a lot of money, so this money is nothing."

After hearing this, Gao Ruoqian hurriedly reprimanded:

"How is this possible? It is inappropriate for her to use the family's money before she is married."

Gao Pan just said loudly:
"Okay, big sister, big sister-in-law, this matter is my own business, so don't worry about it... By the way, big sister-in-law, if you have difficulties at home, feel free to come to me, I can help you with money matters .”

This attitude made Gao Ruoqian and Lu Sixuan secretly startled, and they didn't know where Gao Pan had such confidence.

According to what he said, does the Gao family have to rely on him for the expenses from now on?

Naturally, they didn't know that Gao Pan's trip to Dongshan not only solved the Gao family's hidden dangers, but also solved his lifelong money problems.

Ning Yan had people steal a lot of gentry's houses, most of the money was distributed to the poor by Gao Pan and Ning Yan, and they kept the rest for themselves.

Even if it is only a part, for Gao Pan at this moment, he can stand up straight and say that he is rich!
