"When I was a child, I also wanted to go out and have a look. But my father told me that wise people are treacherous and their hearts are unpredictable. If a fool is in power, he can harm the country. But if a wise man is in power, once he has evil thoughts in his heart, it will be a disaster.
catastrophe."
A wry smile appeared on Cai Ling's lips.
In fact, he knew better than anyone else that his father was not imprisoned by the emperor, but was willing to imprison himself in this cage just to control his ambition.
After hearing this, Lin Mengya felt more and more that Cai Ling was definitely a talent she must win over.
There are many smart people in the world, and even more talented ones.
But there are indeed not many smart people who can have a crystal clear and exquisite heart.
"My uncle also said that one thought is good and the other is evil. It can be seen that good and evil are in the human heart, not in your position. If you have evil thoughts in your heart, how can this dragon be trapped in you?
So, why don't you come with me and see the great rivers and mountains?"
This was an invitation she sincerely sent, and Cai Ling also understood what she meant. He neither refused nor agreed, but said it solemnly.
"What you said makes sense, so I will think about what you said carefully. Give me some time and I will give you an answer, okay?"
Then what else does she have to disagree with, and she believes that Cai Ling will definitely become their partner.
"Okay, okay." Gong Si interrupted their conversation at the right time, pulled her back from the window and handed her a cup of hot tea to ward off the cold.
"Didn't the second brother and the others say that they should be here by now? The same is true for your fifth brother, why can't you run away without a trace?"
Cai Ling's face was slightly red.
He lowered his head and tugged at the corners of his clothes, looking a little nervous.
Lin Mengya knew that Cai Ling was afraid of strangers, but because the Gong family and the Cai family had known each other for many years, Cai Ling waited with them.
Who likes to be alone?
"Didn't you tell Fifth Brother this morning?"
Gong Si sighed, with a hint of helplessness on his face.
"You also know that Lao Wu, although he seems to be out of character, does things fairly steadily. Maybe something has delayed him."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard someone shouting from under the window.
"Little sister, fourth brother, Aling! Look, who is coming!"
Lin Mengya immediately stuck her head out to take a look, and saw a group of hurried travelers walking towards their direction on the snow not far away.
The carriage stopped in the snow, revealing several faces.
Lin Mengya waved her hands desperately, and finally ran out excitedly.
"You girl, you're wearing such little clothes in a world of ice and snow!"
Outside the Yuqing Pavilion, unexpected Gong Bin and Gong Qianfeng came and looked at her and Gong Si with smiles.
"What if you catch a cold? Come in quickly."
Gong Er frowned, took off his cloak, and gathered around her.
"Let's not stand here anymore. If we don't leave, how can my little sister leave?"
After all, Gong San is still in charge. While he is happy, he is still thinking about everyone.
Gong Si and Gong Wu nodded and led their family into the Yuqing Pavilion.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw Cai Ling standing stupidly at the stairs, feeling a little embarrassed.
"Is this the boy from the Cai family?"
Gong Qianfeng narrowed his eyes and suddenly thought about it.
After Cai Ling saluted the senior palace chief, he nodded.
"Cai Ling, I have met Senior Gong."
"Tsk, aren't you sincerely taking advantage of us? I remember that in the past, you were just like us, and we all called you great-grandfather. Now that you are older, you are more cunning, aren't you?"
Gong Wu grabbed Cai Ling's shoulders and helped him out with a teasing smile.
Unexpectedly, Cai Ling became even more nervous, and her face turned red, which made Lin Mengya secretly worried, fearing that this guy would die due to the congestion in the top of his head.
"Okay, okay, from now on Cai Ling can be called great-grandfather like us. This is other people's territory, so be careful. Don't think that no one can cure you."
Lin Mengya glared and relieved Cai Ling.
The latter showed her a grateful smile and nodded silently.
The group of people went up to the second floor, but the place they were in had the best view and the most open and spacious place in the entire Yuqing Pavilion.
I heard from Gong Wu that this place is generally not open to the public.
"Great-grandfather, big brother, didn't you say that you can't leave the house and won't come?"
The focus of the group was naturally her.
But what Lin Mengya was more curious about was the arrival of Zengzu and Gong Bin.
"Speaking of which, this is all your previous contribution." Looking at her great-grandfather's sighing smile, she didn't know why.
"Before you left, didn't you arrange a lot of things for me and the third child? We did what you said and found a capable person to take charge of every link. Unexpectedly, things went smoothly beyond expectations. Later, Lao San and I improved it, and now, even if we are not there, there will be no trouble."
In fact, she didn't say anything, she just told the two of them some rules for employment.
Once upon a time, the palace family was in chaos, except for the outside
In addition to the suppression, it also stems from the unreasonable allocation of internal personnel.
Now, if these problems were not troubled, the Gong family would at least not be the same mess as before.
"That's good. I'm still thinking about letting everyone celebrate the New Year in Longdu. Cai Ling can come too, and when the time comes, go and invite Lian's family."
Cai Ling smiled but said nothing.
But there was some expectation in his eyes. Come to think of it, he had spent so many years alone and missed the excitement.
"Your fifth brother wrote to me about the Lian family matter. Ya'er, you handled it very well."
Gong Qianfeng was not stingy with his praise at all. This girl was a wonderful person, especially on this kind of issue. She was even more sober than them, which surprised him.
"Whatever I handled well, whether it was the Lian family or Cai Ling, our Gong family had a good foundation in the past. If my great-grandfather and all the elders were not based on generosity, how could they be on good terms with us juniors."
She sees these things very clearly.
In fact, the Gong family has a very good foundation. Many of the Gong family's methods of doing things in the past have actually won praise from many people.
Sometimes, this is how people get their hearts.
Therefore, she knows better than anyone that she is able to gain a foothold here because of the free support of the Gong family.
Although the relationship between them is also complementary to each other.
But entrusting the entire family to her and letting her make any decision without regrets is not something ordinary people can do.
She understands the Gong family's sincerity towards her.
"You girl, you are really"
Seeing a few tears flashing in her great-grandfather's eyes, Lin Mengya knew that she could no longer continue to sensationalize him.
"It's the best thing for us to be reunited now, and I can't make my great-grandfather cry. You guys sit down for now, and I'll go out and take a look. It's time to serve the food."
Cai Ling went out with her, and within a short time, a large table of wine and food was set up.
The whole family sat around the table and had a good time.
After they had had enough wine and food, Lin Mengya directly invited Cai Ling back to the Gong family.
However, Cai Ling declined.
However, he also said that he would come over tomorrow to deliver some necessary New Year goods.
I guess I agreed to her invitation and was going to celebrate the New Year with the Gong family.
"Come here, meet all your uncles and uncles."
Because of the long journey and the cold weather here, Mo Yan and the other children were left at home.
I heard that the child is doing great things now, and he is the most loved one in the whole family.< br>
The boy also had so much fun every day that he almost forgot about her as his aunt.
After taking out the little thing and telling the little guy's origin, several people from the Gong family didn't say anything.
On the contrary, when the child saw them, he didn't recognize him, but followed her instructions and saluted them, which made these uncles have a good impression of him.
"Come here and let me see you."
Gong Bin waved to the child, and the little thing glanced at her and walked over after getting her consent.
My great-grandfather was also used to getting along with Mo Yan and the others, and he also liked the children a little more.
After touching the child's head, he took out a piece of candy from his pocket and gave it to him.
"Take it. When I was at home, those little guys asked for sweets every day. I'm used to it. Ya'er, do you still want to keep this child at home?"
There is no shortage of food for this little kid at home.
It's just that the baby's parents are still alive, and if Princess Chonghua learns of the news, she won't take the opportunity to launch an attack.
It is true that they cannot ignore death, but how and how to save them still needs to be discussed.
The little thing took the candy and returned to her.
He stood quietly by her legs, with a faint smile on his yellow and white face.
"No matter what, I have to save this child. Since I can meet him, it is fate between us. Besides, the relationship between Chonghua and I is not irreconcilable. But no matter what the final result is, this child
, I will never let them bully me again."
Thinking that he had received her assurance, the little thing suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
He tugged at the corner of her clothes, and after she looked at him, he handed over the candy in his hand.
Lin Mengya smiled and accepted it, but after peeling it off, she stuffed it into the little thing's mouth.
The sweet candies made the little thing smile so hard that he narrowed his eyes.
"My little sister is right. Our Gong family has always shown pity to the old and the weak. You didn't notice this child when he first came here. He doesn't have a good spot on his body and is no better than a wild dog on the roadside. If he is sent back again,
, I still don’t know what will happen!”
Gong Wu hurriedly stood up and spoke for her.
Gong Bin looked at his brother and sighed.
"Look at the two of you, you have learned bad things just a short time ago. What kind of person is my great-grandfather? Can't he tolerate a little child?"
Now, it was Gong Qianfeng's turn to be in a somewhat embarrassing situation.
"You guys, oh, okay, okay, it sounds like I'm being stingy. Just keep this baby in our house."
