Following Lian Xing, he walked into the inner room. The warm and pleasant fragrance inside made people's hearts calm down involuntarily.
"Gong Yu, I have met Lian Shibo, Aunt Lian, and Brother Lian Sheng."
Gong Wu was still a little reserved, but after a lady came to greet him, he became less distant and more close.
"Look, this kid has grown so big. The last time we met, you were still a kid."
As soon as she entered the room, Lin Mengya noticed the only woman in the room.
As she got closer, she could see it more clearly.
She was a lady with a beautiful face, and one could easily fall in love with her at first glance.
Mrs. Lian's face is very similar to Lian Xing's, but Lian Sheng doesn't look like her mother.
When Lin Mengya looked at the other party, even his wife looked at her.
"Is this girl the young lady from your Gong family?"
The gentle Mrs. Lian walked up to her, took her hand, and looked at her carefully.
"Mother, you don't know that this Miss Gong is smart and kind-hearted, and she has helped me a lot!"
Seeing his silly younger brother beaming with joy, Lian Sheng called him lightly.
"Lianxing."
The latter immediately became quiet like a mouse seeing a cat.
"Well, he looks like a good boy. Sit down and don't be restrained, just like you are at home."
Mrs. Lian's attitude was neither overly enthusiastic nor distant or cold.
Probably because it was her first time here and I didn't want to cause any trouble to her.
However, she could read Mrs. Lian's love and appreciation for the juniors from her eyes.
Growing up in such a family, no wonder Lian Sheng and Lian Xing developed such a temperament.
"It's your first time in Longdu. Have you ever gotten used to everything?"
Mrs. Lian asked her with a smile, a bit of expectation in her voice.
"When I get back to my wife, I'm still used to everything. It's just that it's too cold at this time to go out. Otherwise, my brother and I should have come to visit a long time ago."
Lin Mengya was well-behaved and elegant, with good tutoring and temperament, and quickly won the favor of Mrs. Lian.
"There is no need for such courtesy between our two families. For some reason this year, the snow is really worrying. Is food and clothing convenient in your house? How about you come to live in our house? Our house
My head is full of boys, and I don’t even have anyone to talk to. Oh, it’s really hard.”
As she spoke, Mrs. Lian touched the corners of her eyes and secretly glanced at Mr. Lian who was sitting upright.
It seems like he is blaming the other person.
But I didn't expect that Mr. Lian, who had an upright and serious face, actually avoided Mrs. Lian's sorrow. Resentful eyes!
And there was an extremely suspicious blush on my cheeks!
Lin Mengya was a little stupid. What is going on?
Why was he stuffed with dog food in his mouth before he could even say a few words?
However, Lian Sheng, Lian Xing, and her fifth brother were extremely calm. It seemed that this was probably not the first time.
"It's better not to trouble Madam Lian. Everything at home is ready. If Madam doesn't want me to bother you, I can come to the house anytime and anywhere to chat with Madam and relieve her boredom."
Mrs. Lian's eyes suddenly lit up, and she seemed to be looking at her eagerly.
"This is what you said, don't go back on it."
Lin Mengya nodded naturally. In fact, she liked this kind woman very much.
"Sister, do you want to think about it carefully?"
Gong Wu winked at her, with a hint of unbearable tone in his tone.
Lin Mengya didn't react for a moment. Except for her fifth brother, even the Lian brothers looked at her with very sympathetic eyes.
This made Lin Mengya feel a little confused. Did she agree to something extraordinary just now?
After some more family talk, the housekeeper from Lian Mansion came to report that the family banquet was ready.
Mrs. Lian held her hand affectionately and walked into the small hall next door.
Probably because it snows heavily here in winter and the temperature is extremely low.
Most of the wealthy homes in Longdu would use translucent glass to seal their verandahs. This way, people walking in the courtyard would not get cold or slip.
Of course, the verandah is not completely sealed. There is usually a small door in the middle, so people can go out anytime and anywhere to enjoy the snow scenery.
But the one here is a little different from the one in Princess Chonghua’s mansion.
The verandah here is semi-enclosed, and it is not blocked tightly above. It is just slightly blocked from the cold wind compared to the outside.
The palace of the Gong family has not been sealed, probably because there are no female relatives in the family.
From this point of view, the three men of the Lian family really care about Mrs. Lian.
Yes, she liked Mrs. Lian's temperament as soon as she saw it, not to mention that she was a member of their family.
The small hall is not open, but it is very warmly decorated.
It seems that this is not a place where they entertain foreign guests. This is not disrespectful to them. On the contrary, it is just a sign of closeness.
Naturally, Mrs. Lian and the Master will sit on the main table.
Lin Mengya should have been sitting next to her brother in the guest seat, but unexpectedly, Mrs. Lian pulled her to her side.
"Hua Rong, don't embarrass the palace lady."
It was rare to hear Master Lian say a word, but Mrs. Lian stared at her husband angrily.
"As soon as I saw this girl, I didn't know how to like her. But it turns out that in my husband's eyes, is he just deliberately making things difficult for his girl?"
These words are both aggrieved and make people fall in love. This plaintive words are absolutely perfect!
"You know I'm not like this. When this girl first came to our house, I just thought, forget it. Miss Gong, please be more considerate. I would like to thank you here."
Lin Mengya didn't expect that even the master would ask her in person.
Besides, this is not a big deal.
"Shibo, you don't have to be like this. I also like Mrs. Lian very much. If we can get closer to her, I would be happy to do so."
Hearing her say this, Mrs. Lian was even more proud.
Several other people seemed to be accustomed to this situation. It was a family banquet, and the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves.
After the banquet, Lin Mengya went to see off Mrs. Lian in person. When she came back, she saw that everyone was still waiting for her.
He sat silently next to his fifth brother, talking about business, and naturally he had to look like he was talking about business.
"Miss Gong, I heard from Lian Sheng that you were the one who came up with the idea of the snow room tent and the frostbite medicine?"
Lin Mengya nodded, then shook her head.
"These two things already exist. I'm just making connections and borrowing flowers to offer to Buddha. It's really nothing."
Master Lian seemed a little dissatisfied with her answer and frowned slightly.
"I know this, but Lian Sheng also said that you wanted to make a snow sculpture lamp before. Can I ask, what exactly do you want to do?"
Here comes the main topic that I was invited to come here today.
Lowering her head, Lin Mengya thought about it again and again before choosing the best answer.
"I dare not hide it from Uncle Shi. If before this, it was just a flash of inspiration on my part and a moment of fun, then now, I will give them a chance."
"who?"
"Those who want to kill me and destroy the Gong family."
The atmosphere suddenly condensed.
Lin Mengya looked at Master Lian openly, as if she didn't feel that what she just said was alarmist.
"What do you know?"
There was no surprise on the master's face, and this was what Lin Mengya had expected.
The Lian family is Imperial Attendant, there is no news in Longdu that they are unaware of.
What's more, this is basically a semi-open secret.
Master Lian frowned and thought for a while.
"This matter is extremely dangerous to your Gong family. At the same time, it is also extremely detrimental to Longdu. If you insist on doing this, then I will have to offend you. As for this kindness, our Lian family will make up for it.
"
Sure enough, the way he rejected her was almost like a winning streak.
There are two brothers, one is very much like his father, and the other is very much like his mother.
But Lin Mengya is not discouraged. If she can convince Lian Sheng, she can also convince Master Lian.
"Father, I think this matter is still feasible."
Unexpectedly, the person who asked her for mercy was Lian Sheng.
Lin Mengya was a little surprised. After all, Lian Sheng was a very serious person.
Didn't he scold himself before, saying he was wasting people and money? Why would he beg her for mercy now?
"Lian Sheng, don't be confused. The winter solstice is a big festival, and there will be a lot of people coming to watch the ceremony. The emperor and the prince will also travel. If there is turmoil at this time, you will be responsible for the safety of the emperor and the prince.
What?"
Master Lian looked at his son, his tone almost reproachful.
However, the winning streak did not back down.
"Father, that's not what I mean. It's just that I think that this incident may not be a good opportunity for us. You also know that the three kings are ready to take action now, and those clans are harboring evil intentions. If they want
If it's not good for the Emperor and the Crown Prince, even you and I won't be able to stop it."
"Go on."
Mr. Lian really knows his eldest son very well and knows that he will never neglect his responsibilities for selfish reasons.
Therefore, he did not stop his winning streak. He just looked a little bit unhappy.
"Father, Gong Ya came to Longdu after being personally designated by His Highness the Crown Prince. Moreover, she has a special status. She is not only a noble daughter of a noble family, but also the head of the next generation of the Gong family. If something happens to her in Longdu
, Gong family, what do you think will happen? Will it really fall apart as those aristocratic families wish? I don't think so."
These words made her look at Liansheng twice more.
Along the way, almost everyone thought that the Gong family was a nest of pustules. As long as she was killed, the Gong family would be finished.
But they didn't want to think about it, even without her, wouldn't the Gong family have survived all these years?
Her so-called position as the head of the family is nothing more than a spiritual symbol.
The Gong family will rise sooner or later, but her arrival only catalyzed the opportunity for this possibility to happen.
