The date of the liquor auction is imminent, and the Shilixiang Restaurant is full of guests. Food and wine intoxicated these merchants from all over the world. In the private room on the second floor, several merchants gathered to drink, and on the table were the two fine wines that have been popular recently.

"I can't imagine that this small Yuncheng County has such exquisite food, it's really worth the trip!" An old man sitting at the head sighed.

"Brother Zhao's words are deeply sympathetic, you look at the dishes on this table, you can be regarded as having eaten a lot of things in the next and south, but there are few delicious things on this table." A middle-aged man sitting sideways pointed to the stir-fry on the table.

Of course, most of these dishes were created by Gu Haotian's own gluttony or flattering chef on weekdays, and they were all learned by the chefs in the house, and naturally became the signature dishes of the restaurant.

"Although the food is exquisite, it is not surprising in the face of these two fine wines." The wealthy merchant sitting opposite the middle-aged man said, only to see two cups in front of him, and the wine in one cup was clear and transparent, which was the fairy drunk; The color of the wine in the other glass is a little yellowish, which is fairy alcohol.

"It's this kind of immortal alcohol, which is rare today, not to mention that this immortal is drunk." He took a sip of the immortal drunk cup, "This wine is bound to be obtained by old Lu Zhi." "A look of determination.

"How can you talk a lot, just eat and drink happily today, and when tomorrow is the 'agent' and 'auction', we will join forces to take it, if this owner doesn't know about things, I will take it together with the guy and master who made wine, and I will take care of him in the future." A fat-headed, big-eared guy sitting at the bottom opened his mouth to say a string of foul words.

The old man at the top looked at him, a hint of disdain flashed in his eyes, and ignored him, just talking softly to the other two. The banquet lasted until the end of the evening, and the businessman surnamed Zhang was obviously drunk, and he was seen shaking his fat and shaking to the guest room in the backyard.

Recently, Gu Haotian often stayed in the hotel, and Zhu Gui and others discussed matters related to the auction of liquor, this evening he was busy with some trivial matters and took Bian Xiang to go back to Gujiazhuang, when he was passing by the courtyard of the number C, he suddenly heard a commotion inside, first a girl's sharp cry, and soon a woman broke the gong like a scolding.

"You are not ashamed to kill you, you dare to seduce this little prostitute under the nose of the old lady, and the old lady will not stop with you if she dies today." Then there was the sound of tearing clothes, accompanied by the sound of crying.

Gu Haotian laughed in his heart, thinking that it was another story of an old man who bullied a maid after drinking. Just about to turn around and leave, he saw that the courtyard door suddenly opened, and a soft body crashed straight into his arms, he instinctively opened his arms to hold her, looked down, and saw a pear blossom with rain flower and jade appearance, but saw willow eyebrows, peach blossom cheeks, light sandalwood mouth, and starry eyes like mist. Gu Haotian was stunned for a while, only to feel that a pair of helpless eyes went straight into his heart, making his chest ache faintly.

"Little prostitute, today I will teach you to know the interests of the old lady." With a scream, I saw a wicked woman snatching a broom and chasing it out of the courtyard.

The person in her arms trembled, Gu Haotian gently patted her back twice with his hand, and then stood up in front of her.

"This lady is invited, I don't know why she is so angry?"

"Who are you, in charge of my family's affairs?"

"In Xia Gu Haotian, it is the owner of this restaurant, I think the lady is a rich and dignified person, and she is definitely not a person who causes trouble for no reason, so I have this question." He gently sent out a top hat.

"It turned out that the young owner was here, and it was rude, but this matter is really embarrassing, and it is difficult for the slave to speak." And indeed the woman was used a lot.

"Niangziguo is a reasonable person, it is better to come here and drink a few cups of tea to quench the anger." Gu Haotian sent out another high hat.

"That's the one that botheres." The woman hesitated for a moment before agreeing.

The girl stood behind, not daring to go back to the yard, and it was difficult to follow, and her pitiful appearance was heart-wrenching. Gu Haotian quietly glanced at her, and the girl hesitated for a moment, then slowly followed behind.

In a small courtyard nearby, the two sat down and drank two hot teas, Gu Haotian took the opportunity to flatter a few more words, and the woman poured a stomach of bitter water without any scruples.

Self-said Qinghe County people, husband's surname Zhang, was originally a broken settlement, but after marrying himself, after the death support of his mother's family, he had today's situation, I didn't want to kill just to enjoy the blessing and forgot the book, a few years ago I bought the maid, and I coveted her every day, if it wasn't for my own close attention, he would have succeeded long ago.

"It's hard to prevent thieves, and the lady has to think of a safe idea." Gu Haotian looked at the woman's face and saw that she had a look of deep sympathy, so he continued, "I thought that I had to send it far away to break the delusion of the honored husband. ”

"Who said no, sooner or later, the slave will find a dirty and lowly person, and send this little prostitute away, so that he can breathe out his heart." This woman's resentment is not ordinarily deep.

"The lady is also considerate of the downside, but this matter is sooner rather than later, if you don't pay attention, it will be like the right talent, wouldn't it be in vain for the lady to work hard for many years." Gu Haotian is kind and seductive.

"Alas, it's just that there is no proper place to send it for a while." And sure enough, the woman fell into the trap.

"There is a reluctant invitation in the bottom, the family teacher is nearly seventy years old, and I have been looking for a clever maid to wait, I don't know if the lady can cut love." Gu Haotian said and took out a silver ticket of fifty taels and handed it over.

The woman didn't expect this young owner to make this request, so she was surprised for a moment, and thought that there was really no place to send it for a while, and this silver ticket was enough to buy a few maids, so she agreed in her heart. said: "That's it, that's it, it's cheaper for this little prostitute." ”

"Just Zunfu?"

"He dares." The woman replied domineeringly.

Gu Haotian was secretly happy, and immediately wrote the paperwork, and the woman took it and went out, and came in after a while, and the document was already stamped with bright red seals and handprints. After the two sides were settled, the woman glared at the little lady at the door fiercely.

Let's say that this little lady has been standing at the door, and her heart is like a bucket. When he saw that the young proprietor persuaded the woman to send her out, he gave birth to a glimmer of hope; and when he heard that the woman was going to send her away from the filthy and lowly people, he fell into despair; When I heard the young owner say that there was a reluctant invitation, my heart suddenly beat wildly; But in the end, the young owner said that he was waiting for the teacher, and he couldn't help but feel lost again. In this way, he struggled at the door, and waited for the woman to deliver the papers, and then he felt as if he had collapsed and leaned weakly against the doorpost, and only two lines of tears poured out of his eyes like springs.

"Little lady, the little official is invited." At this time, Bian Xiang called out on the side.

At this time, the little lady hurriedly stopped her tears, turned around and lowered her head and walked inward. Gu Haotian sat in the hall, but when he saw a little lady coming at the door, there were still tears on her face, just like a pear blossom with spring rain, even if he was used to seeing countless beauties in his previous life, he felt that his heart was not calm.

"The slave has seen the little official." The little lady bowed down in front of Gu Haotian.

"No need to be polite, get up, what's your name?"

"Slave Pan Jinlian."

"Pan Jinlian!" Gu Haotian blurted out, only feeling that he was scorched by thunder on the outside and tender on the inside, he stared at Pan Jinlian for a long time. I only looked at the little woman kneeling in front of me with a red face and panic, and her head hung almost to the ground.

"It's dark for the little officials, do we still want to go back to the village?" At the door, Bian Xiang saw that there was a sudden silence in the hall, and asked a question.

Gu Haotian came back to his senses, and he only felt embarrassed for a while, but fortunately, it was late and he was able to cover it up a little.

"Get up, there's still something to pack up over there, go over and get it and go back to the village with me."

"The slave and maid have only a few pieces of clothing and nothing else."

Gu Haotian instructed Bian Xiang to accompany her to pick it up, and the three of them took a carriage back to the village.

In the thin twilight, Bian Xiang drove the car slowly, but the two people in the car had their own concerns. Gu Haotian had come to his senses, and he thought about it carefully and found that this matter had already been hinted at, the woman said that she was from Qinghe County, her husband's surname was Zhang, and Pan Jinlian turned out to be the maid outside Qinghe Zhang, but she didn't think about it at the time. In fact, in later generations, he was sympathetic to the character of Pan Jinlian, but a flower-like woman had to face ugly characters like Wu Dayang all day long, and anyone would be unwilling. Then I thought that this calamity-level woman had now become her maid, and what was the matter with Ximenqing and Wu Song, I couldn't help but feel a little proud.

Pan Jinlian huddled in the corner of the carriage with a small burden, what happened in an hour just now, so far she still feels as if in a dream, she pinched herself fiercely, the fierce sting made her sure that she really escaped from the Zhang family, who was frightened every day, but where did this carriage take her? She stole a glance at the young man in front of her, and the handsome figure in the twilight warmed her heart again. At the moment when she snatched the door just now, she felt like duckweed in a sudden wave, suddenly anchored in a quiet river bay. That thick chest made her feel warm and peaceful in an instant, and the concerned eyes and the gentle soothing on her back made her feel that she would never forget it in her life. While she was thinking about it, the carriage stopped.

"It's home." The young man in front of him turned his head to her. Then an arm appeared in front of her, and she naturally put her hand on it, but there was no hesitation in her heart, and then a large mansion appeared in front of her.

"It's home." She silently thought in her heart that this might be her home forever in the future.
