Chapter 25 A New Life

Gu Haotian led Pan Jinlian into the back house under the curious eyes of his family. The Gu family had already had dinner, and Gu Zhen, Li, and Bian were gossiping together, when Pan Jinlian's sudden appearance surprised a room of people.

"Brother, is this beautiful sister the sister-in-law you brought?" Ying Niang's innocent words instantly dyed Pan Jinlian's face into a red cloth, and her head hung down to her chest in shame.

After understanding the reason, Li was very happy, watching her son gradually grow into a man, she actually wanted to find a proper maid to wait by his side, but there was no favorite candidate in the house, so it has been delayed. The more she looked at the beautiful woman in front of her, the more satisfied she became, and she was a little impressed by her son's vision. She ordered the outer room of the east wing to be cleaned up for Pan Jinlian to live in, and took off a hairpin on her head and inserted it in her hair. ”

"Hmm." Pan Jinlian responded like a gnat, but her heart was settled, and the mistress said so, thinking that there was no need to serve that master.

The outer room of the east wing is actually the outer room of Gu Haotian's bedroom, the two rooms are connected, and he usually uses it as a study, when the two of them return to the east wing, it has been almost cleaned up by the people, that is, a bed, some tables, cabinets, chairs and something.

"Look at it, if there is anything missing, just tell me to get it, and in the future, I will be a person in the house, and there is no need to be restrained."

"Enough, little official." Pan Jinlian answered, her eyes looked around, and found that they were two interconnected rooms, she quietly glanced at the back room, looked at the furnishings, and concluded that it should be the residence of the petty official.

Gu Haotian looked at the busy shadow in front of him, and there was only one word in his heart, that is, "cool", and he would live a day of red sleeves and fragrance in the future! He even thought of some pictures that were inappropriate for children, but he also thought that the foundation of this eleven-year-old body was not solid, and he must not miss his lifelong happiness because of a momentary pleasure, and he had already lived in his room, and it was not his dish sooner or later.

"Jin Lian, let's eat first, right?" He called out.

Pan Jinlian responded, took the meal and set the tableware neatly. Gu Haotian's food has been edified by Gu Haotian, and the level is not ordinary, Gu Haotian's appetite was greatly boosted for a while, but he just took two mouthfuls of rice, but he felt that something was missing, and when he looked up, it turned out that the position in front was empty.

"Why don't you come to dinner?" He asked Pan Jinlian, who was waiting on the side.

"Slave, eat later."

At this time, he suddenly realized that in this era, domestic slaves cannot sit at the same table with their masters, and Bian Xiang was also here before, so he got up and pulled Pan Jinlian over and pressed him on the seat.

"I don't have those rules around me, you just have to sit down and eat." As he spoke, he pushed the chopsticks in front of her, and pressed the dish with a chopstick on her rice bowl.

Pan Jinlian wanted to get such a thing, and it was not impossible to sit there and eat for a while.

"Big man, if you want me to feed you, you can't do it."

The little official's kind voice sounded in her ears again, she looked at those sincere eyes, and thought of the Zhang family's leftovers for a while, scolding, kicking, and beating, only to feel a sour feeling welling up in her heart, and tears couldn't stop falling, and it took a while for her to calm down a little.

"If you don't eat it, the food will be cold." As she spoke, a veil appeared in front of her.

"The slave made the little officials laugh." She took the handkerchief and wiped her face.

"Don't call me a slave in the future, I don't feel comfortable listening to it, well, your name is Pan Jinlian, and you will be called Lian'er in the future."

Pan Jinlian refused, but she had to agree, and then ate the most delicious and relaxing meal in her life.

The winter nights are long, and Gu Haotian gets up before dawn. Pan Jinlian in the outhouse heard the movement and wondered why the little official got up so early, so he had to get up and wait.

"You can sleep again, I'll go for a run."

Before she got up, she heard the dissuasive voice of the petty official, and then went out.

Pan Jinlian had to go back to the bed, but she was no longer in the mood to sleep. She slept very late last night, in addition to the discomfort of the first arrival in an unfamiliar place, mainly because of the sudden huge changes that made her feel uneasy, and the instinctive fear of the night that she developed in the Zhang family, she even thought about what she should do if the little official also asked her to do that shameful thing, in such a worried state of mind, I don't know when she fell asleep dimly.

Fortunately, after the strange words of the little official "good night" last night, nothing happened, and she had the most reassuring night in recent years, and at this moment she remembered everything she had experienced since yesterday, and for a while, her mind and heart were full of the shadow of that lovely little official. From the sudden hug outside the door of the guest room, to the worrying waiting in front of the small courtyard, to the wordless companionship on the carriage, to the warm care at dinner, and the voice of "You will be called Lian'er in the future", she recalled it over and over again, and her heart was full of warmth.

She could not lie down any longer, got up to freshen up a little, and pushed the door out, only to find herself in this strange mansion, and did not know where to go.

"It's Sister Jinlian, I'm Chunya, the eldest lady asked me to take you to recognize the way home, the little official must have gone out."

Pan Jinlian was hesitating, and a fifteen or sixteen-year-old woman came to her.

"Thank you, Sister Chunya, I don't know where to go, the little official said yes, said what 'running', and went out early." Pan Jinlian hurriedly bowed and saluted.

Then, Pan Jinlian walked around the house with Chunya, and when she arrived at the training ground in the backyard, she saw the little official running in from the back door with a team of juniors shouting earth-shattering slogans. In the winter morning light, I saw that the upright figure was only wearing a thin single clothes, steaming like steam, and her vigorous steps seemed to step on her heart.

"Lian'er, why are you up too?" It wasn't until the voice of the little official sounded in her ears that she came to her senses, and hurriedly took the clothes from the little official's hand and put them on him.

"It's so cold, be careful to keep it cold." She whispered.

Let's say that today is the day of the new wine auction, after breakfast, as soon as the sun rises, Gu Zhen and Gu Haotian take the relevant personnel to the city. The lobby of Shilixiang has been taken care of by Zhu Guiling, and I saw that the hall on the first floor was divided into several small spaces by a screen, and a table was placed inside, on which envelopes and pens, paper, ink and other utensils were placed, and many merchants had already sat in the surrounding groups. As soon as Gu Haotian and the others arrived, the auction began under the auspices of Zhu Gui.

Zhu Gui announced that the reserve price of this auction is 800 Wen per catty, and the reserve price of Xian Alcohol is 400 Wen per catty.

The first round of auction is the agency of Dongping County, a total of four merchants participated, these four people originally discussed privately, unanimously quoted the lowest price, and then acted together. Who knew that today it was separated from each other to write the price, and there was no communication. In the end, a Qian merchant overreported 100 wen for both kinds of wine, and won the agency. The other three immediately scolded him for his treacherous villain, but there was nothing they could do.

After this incident, although the merchants in other places had private dealings, they all had their own thoughts. As a result, the quotations in the next few rounds are getting higher and higher, and the highest ones are 125 and 800 Wen. The auction ended in only half a day, and more than 10,000 catties of immortal drunk and nearly 10,000 catties of immortal alcohol were booked out, and nearly 20,000 taels of silver were obtained.

In the lobby, the look of getting the agency was flying, and the people who didn't get it were depressed. Pan Jinlian stood behind Gu Haotian and silently watched the entire auction process on the second floor. At this time, she found the Zhang Yuanwai with his head hanging down in the crowd, his bloated body collapsed on the chair, like an ugly reptile, she was secretly glad in her heart, fortunately the little official rescued herself, otherwise, she felt a little disgusting when she thought about it. So she unconsciously moved forward, and sitting in front of her was the little official who filled her heart.

"What kind of auction is this, how can it be unfair, I am much bigger than Nayang Valley and Pingyin, why is there only one agent." At this time, an abrupt voice sounded in the crowd, and everyone saw that it was a little boy with pink makeup.

"Little brother, don't say much." At this time, a young man on the side stopped the boy, stood up again and said, "In Hujiazhuang, Xiahun Prefecture, today's auction, in fact, I think it is also a little inappropriate, the population of each county is different, the difference between the upper county and the lower county is more than doubled, but there is only one agent, whether there is some consideration." ”

When he heard Hu Jia Zhuang Hu Cheng, Gu Haotian had already gone downstairs, he remembered that Hu Cheng didn't seem to have any younger brother, this little boy was dressed up by that wild girl, he took a closer look, but he really looked a little girl.

"This Hu Cheng brother invited, just listen to what Brother Xian said, and our store also has considerations, just because the current new wine has just been listed, the stock is insufficient, for the time being, next year's production will increase, and Shangxian can set up agents in each piece." Gu Haotian said to Hu Cheng.

"Hmph, you're interested." The little boy gave him a blank look and snorted coldly.

"The little brother is naughty, don't be surprised by the little officials." Hu Cheng hurriedly apologized, and said, "I have heard for a long time the name of benevolence and righteousness of the small officials in Gujiazhuang, and I saw it today. After this incident, the Hu family and the Gu family became acquainted with each other, and later became close to each other in business.

The agency auction ended in only half a day, and in recent years, merchants from all walks of life left either happy or depressed, and Gu Haotian finally stole half a day of leisure. Then he took Bian Xiang and Pan Jinlian and others to visit the street market that was already full of New Year's flavor, a few people stopped and stopped, and when they looked up, they saw a ready-to-wear shop, Gu Haotian suddenly remembered Pan Jinlian's poor little burden, and thought that there were no clothes in it, so he turned in.

"Lian'er, let's see if there are any clothes you like."

Unexpectedly, the little official chose clothes for her, Pan Jinlian was stunned for a moment and didn't know how to answer. Gu Haotian knew that she didn't dare, so he chose a few pieces for the boss to pack, but turned around and found Bian Xiang standing there in a daze.

"Bian Xiang, you don't choose two."

"Little official, I don't have a little lady in my family."

"What about Chunya, for the New Year, if you don't give some gifts to her, be careful of being robbed by others." also knew that this fool didn't understand this, so he chose two pieces and stuffed them directly into his hand, but Bian Xiang's black face swelled into purple.

Pan Jinlian followed behind with a bag of clothes, he listened to what the little official said about Bian Xiang just now, what "don't give some gifts to her, be careful of being robbed by others", but what she was holding in her arms was not exactly the gift given to her by the little official.
