Chapter 386: Storytelling

The tea shop in the town doesn't seem to be visited often, and as soon as you enter the door, the shopkeepers are lazy.

Cui Changling sent someone to call someone, and the shopkeeper saw that Cui Changling had a few brocade clothes, so he came to the spirit, and hurriedly accompanied the smile to come forward, and greeted Cui Changling and them to sit in the hall.

Cui Changling raised his eyes and saw that there was indeed a private room upstairs in the small building on the second floor.

This is also rare, this kind of place to open a tea shop, and also know that there is a private room upstairs, it is really a very vassal elegance.

He waved his hand: "Let's go upstairs and sit." ”

The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, and then responded, beckoned the little two in the building to take the distinguished guests upstairs, and asked twice what kind of tea to eat.

Cui Changling was not thinking about eating tea, and the tea in this place may not be any better, so he said a perfunctory word, and sent away Don't ask people to come up and disturb, so he opened his legs and wanted to go upstairs, but he just took a step, thought about something wrong, and retreated, and raised his voice to call Xianzhi.

Gu Pan was silent, only with that hint of Yingying's smile, Wang Xian had already gone around from the back to the front, and under the signal of Cui Changling's eyes, he reluctantly went upstairs first.

Cui Changling followed behind her, the girl and the little maid naturally didn't call up, stayed at the bottom and watched, the horizontal and vertical silver was given to the shopkeeper, and after a while, he served tea and snacks, so he instructed not to call the little two in this building this hand, only to hand it over to the person he brought to take it.

Gu Pan was at the end, and when she went up about half a flight of stairs, she whispered to Ling Jun: "People outside say that the good fortune of Taiyuan Wang's Xiaolangjun was born, and since he worshiped under Lingjun's door, he was favored by Lingjun, and when I saw it today, it was really so." ”

Cui Changling only replied to her with a sneer, and didn't even say a word.

Gu Pan didn't take it seriously, and when he went upstairs, he turned around and walked towards the deepest private room in the corner, which was the quietest place, and he was the least afraid of being heard.

Wang Xian was the most advanced private room, picked a seat and sat down, obediently waited for Cui Changling to sit beside her, and then turned his vigilant gaze to Gu Pan.

Gu Pan looked around when he entered the door, in fact, the specifications were similar to those of the tea shops in Xiangyang City, but the things were just a little worse.

She has been living in Huaxiang Building, and the private rooms in the building are much more exquisite than here, and everything she sees and uses every day is of the highest quality.

Isn't it true that people have spent so much money and so much effort to cultivate their sisters?

It's a pity, they didn't expect Cui Changling to go to Xiangyang City, let alone that she could get out of Huaxianglou.

Gu Pan's expression changed, and the shallow smile disappeared, and at that moment it was replaced by coldness and indifference.

Wang Xian turned his face to look at Cui Changling, and then showed him that his look was wrong.

Of course, Cui Changling saw it, but that look still seemed harmless, and he sat down beside Wang Xian: "Now this place can always get down to business, Gu Pan, you should also answer my question, how did you know my identity, and how did you know that I would appear outside the North City Gate today?" ”

Gu Pan didn't rush to take a seat, just stood in the direction of the door, and his eyes swept to Cui Changling from time to time: "On the first day Ling Jun entered Xiangyang, I knew that I sent someone to keep an eye on the post house, so I knew everything about Ling Jun's every move." ”

Cui Changling twisted his eyebrows.

Gu Pan looks ...... this year She looks like she is only sixteen or seventeen, and she is not a few years older than Wang Xian, but she is an old man who speaks and does things differently.

If someone else told him that someone was sent to follow him and watch his every move, Cui Changling would probably laugh out loud, it was too self-conscious.

But such words came out of Gu Pan's mouth......

He was stunned.

On the contrary, Wang Xian took over first: "You really have bad intentions, otherwise why did you deliberately send someone to keep an eye on the post house?" ”

"I'm not ill-intentioned, I just want to get justice for myself." Gu Pan lowered his voice coldly, and the temperament of the whole person became cold and dusty, "Is this also wrong?" ”

She raised her chin arrogantly: "Xiao Langjun was born in a very high family, so he looks down on people like us, right?" ”

Wang Xian choked on her words.

Is it to look down on?

She has never looked down on anyone, although she has a good background, she has always believed that the Buddha said that all living beings are equal, and she has just accumulated some merit in her previous life compared to those poor people, and she has been reincarnated in this life and ended up in a good family.

She seems to have inadvertently targeted and hurt people.

Whether Gu Pan has malicious intentions or not, it is still impossible to say, but she is too uneducated, and slanders a young lady in her teens......

Wang Xian's words turned a few times on the tip of his tongue, and he was almost about to say it.

It's just that Gu Pan didn't give her this opportunity.

Gu Pan's voice fell, so he didn't look at Wang Xian anymore, but turned his eyes to Cui Changling: "Ling Jun is only afraid that I also feel that I am from a vulgar background, and I am not worthy of talking back in front of Ling Jun and Xiao Langjun, this time like this, it is really enough to accommodate me——"

She dragged out her voice, turned to the side slightly, and gave a salute: "I'll tell a story to Ling Jun and Xiao Langjun." ”

Cui Changling raised his eyebrows to look at her, and hesitated: "You can talk about it." ”

Wang Xian originally felt guilty in his heart, it could be seen that Cui Changling was so obedient to Gu Pan, he should say whatever she said, and he couldn't help but be angry: "Master! ”

She gritted her teeth and called him, Cui Changling probably knew what she was annoying about, and pressed a handful on the back of her hand: "Originally, let's go out for a stroll and relax, since Gu Xiaoniang is interested in telling us a story, you can calm down and listen to it, what a wronged story this is, so that Gu Xiaoniang dared to send someone to follow the order of the dynasty, and knelt down on the street to block my way, huh?" ”

After he said this, a gust of wind came to his face, and Wang Xian subconsciously trembled, but he was not afraid of him.

As for Gu Pan......

She stood a little farther away, and she had really seen a lot, so naturally it didn't matter, she just laughed out loud: "Ling Jun doesn't need to scare me, in the building, I have seen more than Ling Jun's temper, I have served so many people over the years, I haven't seen anything like this." ”

She didn't seem to know what shame was, and she didn't know how to blush when she said this, but Wang Xian couldn't listen to it, so she lowered her head and hid her lips.

The more Gu Pan looked at the Wang family's little Lang Jun, the more strange she felt, but after looking at it for a long time, she couldn't see why, and Cui Changling on the other side urged her again in a deep voice, she simply withdrew her gaze and stopped looking, and settled down.

"The story starts eight years ago—"

Gu Pan's voice is actually very good, like melodious, as soon as she pulls the last note, she is like a yellow warbler singing, which is indescribably comfortable.

Chapter 387: She Sold Us

"Oh yes, I forgot to tell Lingjun that I'm sixteen years old." Her melodious voice paused, and she added such a sentence, and when she saw Cui Changling nodded, she said again, "Eight years ago, my family suffered a disaster, my father, brother and uncle all had accidents, and they were gone, and our family, big and small, suddenly lost their support. My aunt was crying with my sister in her arms, crying all day long, but no one could help her, and no one could save her......"

Gu Pan said that he was sad, but he did not cry, and his expression was still indifferent.

Wang Xian frowned: "You seem to be telling the story of someone else's family." ”

"Really?" She raised her eyebrows and asked, "It may have been so long that I can't remember what it was like to be sad, as if it ...... It seems to be a matter of a previous life. ”

Wang Xian closed his mouth and looked at her intently.

She seemed to be strong, but she seemed to be extraordinarily weak.

She felt very sad when she heard these words, overnight, suddenly changed, how did Gu Pan, who was already sensible, endure all this, and how did she get to where she is today?

Wang Xian took a deep breath, and the hand hanging on his lap secretly clenched into a fist.

Gu Pan asked Wang Xian twice: "I just asked Xiao Langjun, do you look down on people like us, in fact, Xiao Langjun, I was born in a rich family, and I am also the treasure in the hands of my grandmother, who is willing to be a subordinate person and become someone else's plaything?" ”

She laughed, but she didn't go to Wang Xian, but when she looked closely, it seemed to be self-deprecating.

Wang Xian whispered sorry, but Gu Pan heard it clearly.

She was a little surprised: "Xiao Langjun is really not deeply involved in the world, people like us, how many years have we not heard someone say a word to us." Whether we are right or wrong, we don't deserve to lose our temper, and we can't afford to be a nobleman. ”

Wang Xian's throat tightened for a while, and he was indescribably sad in his heart.

Cui Changling didn't speak, but when she kept talking to Wang Xian, she wrinkled her eyebrows and said: "Is there only one beginning to your story?" ”

Gu Pan's smile stiffened, and he remembered that her story was not finished, so she squatted down and saluted: "I have an eldest sister in my family, who is much older than us, and she was already married to her family at that time, and she was married very well." The daughter who was originally married, the family did not dare to count on her, because since the accident, my aunt has not written to her, and then my sister repaired the family letter home, saying that I heard that the family has suffered a change, poor young sisters have nothing to rely on, Auntie wants to take care of us children, and the money is tight, it is better to send us to her, she will raise her, will not treat us badly. ”

As she spoke, she took a deep breath: "A-Niang finally stopped crying, she felt that A-Niang was the most conscientious person in the world, and at that time, she knew how to help the family." But I don't want to go—"

"You're not close to your eldest sister, are you?" Cui Changling asked her calmly.

Gu Pan nodded as a result: "She is too much older than us, and she is the eldest daughter, she didn't bother to pay attention to us when our sisters were messing around together since childhood." ”

Cui Changling had a strange flash in his heart, but he couldn't catch what it was for a while, so he had to sigh: "But you finally took your sisters to your eldest sister, right?" ”

"What else can I do? I was only eight years old. Gu Pan's fingers are slender, and his hands are white and pure, and they are hands that have never suffered hardship.

She raised her hand and wiped it from the corner of her eye, but it was dry and didn't mean to be moist at all.

Then he lowered his head and laughed at how ridiculous he was.

Eight years have passed, and her tears have long since dried up.

"A-Niang can't even prepare us for the entanglement on the road, I have six younger sisters, the youngest one, only two years old, can't even walk steadily. Seeing that we couldn't get on the road like that, Ah Niang sent her a letter, hoping that she could send someone to pick us up. ”

Gu Pan paused, and was silent for a while without speaking.

Wang Xian sighed: "And then?" Won't she? ”

"I wish she hadn't." Gu Pan's eyes flashed with hatred, "A-Niang's letter is like a mud cow into the sea, I didn't wait for a reply for more than a month, A-Niang thought she regretted it, and was unwilling to raise our seven girls, for fear that she would think we were a burden, so she went to several letters, and then it became a pleading tone, saying that even if I only picked up the small ones, it would be okay to leave me behind, I am eight years old, and I can learn what to do by myself, support myself, and help A-Niang." ”

The children who grew up in rich and noble families did not suffer before the age of eight, and their lives were still very good......

"You were sad at the time, weren't you? I think your aunt is partial to your sister......"

"No, I never thought of it that way." Gu Panxiao's face was full of memories, and there was indescribable warmth, "A-Niang loves me very much, I know, she just can't help it." About three months later, my sister finally replied, saying that there was something trivial in her husband's house, and she couldn't spare her hands to take care of our affairs for a while, and that when the matter was disposed of, she would immediately send someone on the road to pick us up, and comforted Auntie, that is, two more me, and I could also raise it, and told Auntie that I would send someone to send ten taels of silver home every month in the future, although my father and uncle were not there, but fortunately, our old house was preserved, and ten taels of silver were enough for Auntie. ”

Wang Xian sighed, as if relieved: "In this way, your eldest sister is a good girl." ”

But she ignored it, if it was really good, how did she end up in Huaxianglou?

Cui Changling pressed Wang Xian and signaled her not to talk nonsense, and sure enough, she saw ruthlessness in Gu Pan's eyes, and her face was almost hideous.

He felt a little difficult to breathe, and his chest hurt: "Those sisters of yours, are they living with you in Huaxianglou now?" ”

Gu Pan was not surprised at all, but smiled: "Ling Jun is worthy of being Ling Jun, the name of Boling's ghost talent is worthy of the name." However, most of them don't live in Huaxianglou anymore. ”

Wang Xian was completely stunned: "How could it be ......?"

According to the hope, the sister can send ten taels of silver to her aunt every month, and she took seven sisters to her husband's house to raise them on her behalf......

"Xiao Langjun seems to be surprised?" Gu Pan tilted his head to look at her, "Two years, just two years, I never lived in her house, she bought a big mansion outside, placed me and my sisters in it, invited the best female master, taught us to read and write, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and - how to please a man." ”
