As soon as it got dark, Gong Si brought the baby over.
The little guy was tired from playing during the day and now he has fallen into a deep sleep.
After handing the baby to Bai Su and taking her into the house, Lin Mengya could tell that Gong Si had something to say to her.
"Have you thought about everything about him?"
After being stunned for a moment, Lin Mengya finally reacted.
Nodding, although Long Tianyu's incident made her feel a little surprised.
Since it is something he has arranged, there must be a way to prevent it from attracting the attention of interested people.
Sometimes, blindly avoiding it will actually attract more attention.
For the mastermind behind the scenes, it is even more difficult to distinguish between reality and fiction.
"Well, in that case, I won't advise you anymore. It's just that you have to be careful in everything, but don't let others know the details."
After all, Gong Si still hopes that she will be happy.
Lin Mengya smiled gratefully and suddenly remembered something.
"I saw Elian on the street today. Did your men see it?"
Gong Si shook his head. Every day his people would come to report on today's surveillance situation.
"My people said that there were a lot of customers in Ailian's shop today. She was too busy to even greet them personally. How could she have time to go out?"
"Who are the large number of guests?"
She just asked in passing. Fortunately, the people sent by Gong Si were very smart and they all found out.
"There are two young ladies from the Qi family in Lingdong, the second young lady from the Wang family in Suizhou, the eldest young lady from the Su family in Huizhou, and several young ladies from the Yuan family in Qiongzhou."
"Why are they all girls from different families?"
"I don't know much about it, but I heard that Mo Xiangxuan's business is particularly good at this time of year. And because she has a good relationship with the ladies in Longdu, and there are all women there, she is particularly affected by these things.
Ladies' favor."
She had heard of this before.
"But this paper, ink, pen and inkstone are sold everywhere, so why do I have to buy hers?"
"Well, I don't know very much about this. I just know that every year around New Year, there are always a lot of young ladies coming to Moxiangxuan to buy things."
After sending Gong Si away, Lin Mengya fell into thinking.
In the end, how did Ailian escape their surveillance, and what did she do in Lusheng Courtyard?
The next day, she followed yesterday's plan and went door to door to visit the famous scholars.
Although the people of Wei are good at martial arts, they are not lighthearted either.
Most celebrities come from aristocratic families, and only a small number of them come from common people.
But compared with celebrities from aristocratic families, those who become famous as common people have to put in more effort.
What Lin Mengya is looking for, Mainly this group of people.
Because not only do they have real talents and knowledge, but they are also marginalized by others because of their origins.
These people are depressed and frustrated, and most of them can only live a miserable life in poverty.
And she wanted to give such people a chance to display their talents.
However, these people were not so easy to invite, so she decided to knock on her door and say hello first, at least to let people know who she was, and then slowly let people feel her sincerity.
Most of these people live in a few streets in the north of Longdu City. Although this place is not magnificent, there are even many houses that look a little dilapidated and may fall down if the wind blows.
But here, it is quiet and elegant.
People in the city call these streets "Mr. Lane".
What I'm talking about is here, if you pick someone out at random, he might be a gentleman with a lot of knowledge.
"Master, who should we start with?"
Bai Su looked at the list in his hand. The names and locations were all marked. There were also many gifts in the carriage behind them.
Lin Mengya thought for a while and decided to start with a gentleman named Qi Yue.
I heard that Qi Yue's background is actually inextricably linked to the Qi family.
I don’t know what happened that caused Mr. Qi Yue to have no contact with the Qi family for a long time.
But this Mr. Qi is a man of real ability and great knowledge.
They followed the address and arrived in front of a house that looked to be quite old.
Just as he was about to knock on the door, he heard the sound of reading loudly coming from inside.
"Don't disturb others, let's wait."
She and Bai Su were waiting at the door holding gifts.
The sound of reading inside was very childish, it should be a group of children.
What they are reciting should be an enlightenment reading book in this country, similar to the Thousand-Character Classic.
The master teaches seriously and the children learn very seriously.
Although Lin Mengya had been familiar with these things for a long time, this was the first time she heard someone explain them in detail.
This gentleman's speech is different from others, lively and interesting, and explains the profound things in a simple way.
It's not like simply asking students to memorize it, but letting students understand the meaning and allusions of these sentences.
I couldn't help but listen to it with great interest.
Bai Su, on the other hand, felt a little strange when he saw the inexplicable smile on his master's lips.
These are the most basic things. Even she understands them. How come her master finds them so interesting?
"Okay, let's go here today. You go back and copy down what you learned today. You will have a day off tomorrow and hand it in the day after tomorrow."
The teacher's voice was gentle but serious, so he seemed to be a well-loved and good gentleman.
The door suddenly opened, and a fat little man with a tiger-like head saw the two masters and servants. He immediately took a few steps back and shouted loudly.
"Sir! Sir! The fairy in the painting is at the door of our house!"
A group of children roared and blocked the door.
Among the children, the eldest one is only five or six years old, and the younger one is still wearing crotchless pants.
Lin Mengya responded with a gentle smile to those pairs of eyes with pure curiosity.
"Bai Su, go get some sugar ball cakes. Little guy, is your husband Mr. Qi Yueqi?"
She knelt down and asked a little girl with two buns on her head in a friendly manner.
Although the little girl had never seen this beautiful elder sister, she was not afraid of her at all. She just looked at her with her big black eyes with a bit of shyness, and then nodded quietly.
"Well, can you take your sister to Mr. Qi?"
She reached out and gently touched the little girl's head. The little girl nodded immediately, grabbed her wrist with her backhand, and led her to the yard.
Bai Su also brought a large box full of candy balls and snacks.
These were bought by my master for my young master on the way here, but now they are put to use in advance.
The children immediately gathered around Bai Su, making it very lively.
Lin Mengya noticed that the little girl was lame, and regardless of the dirty dust on her body, she carried the child and walked into the yard.
The yard is quite spacious and tidy, but apart from a main room and a thatched shed, there is nothing else.
There are several long benches placed in the middle, probably for school use.
As soon as she entered, she saw a thin young man cleaning the yard.
After putting the little girl down, Lin Mengya asked politely.
"Excuse me, is Mr. Qi Yueqi here?"
The young man turned his head, a trace of doubt appearing on his handsome face.
Lin Mengya thought he was helping Mr. Qi and immediately introduced herself.
"My name is Gong Ya, and I'm here to visit Mr. Qi. I wonder if he is at home now?"
Qi Yue is not old, only twenty-eight years old.
Although the young man in front of him is not very old, his temperament is not very similar.
But obviously, sometimes what you see may not be true.
The young man looked at her lightly Behind his eyes, he waved to the little girl.
The little girl immediately ran to his side, raised her head and looked at him with a smile.
"Go home quickly, lest your mother is worried and comes to my place to make noise again."
The man was much kinder to the little girl.
The little girl nodded, glanced at her timidly, and immediately ran out of the yard.
"sit down."
The young man said casually, and Lin Mengya didn't think too much and sat down on the shiny bench.
At this time, the young man was silent for a moment.
After he swept all the debris in the yard into a pile, he walked up to her.
"Tell me, what tricks are you going to play this time?"
The tone made Lin Mengya feel a little surprised and helpless.
But more importantly, it is a deep disgust for certain things.
"Mr. Qi, have you misunderstood something?"
"Misunderstanding?" He sneered, with a trace of sadness in his voice.
"Aren't you all trying all your tricks to make me give in? Let me tell you, ten years ago I never gave up, and ten years later, I can't even do that!"
After finishing speaking, he seemed to be out of breath because he was too excited.
Lin Mengya looked at Qi Yue's slightly blue face, which suddenly turned red, and she immediately grabbed his wrist.
As she expected, this person's body was probably extremely damaged due to overwork.
By the way, I rubbed a few places on his back with my hands, and the man's severe coughing and wheezing showed signs of relief.
Only then did Qi Yue look at her again, with a bit more confusion in his eyes.
"No matter who you think I am, I still need to introduce myself again. My name is Gong Ya, and I am here to visit you on behalf of the Gong family. Your husband is too weak, so it's better not to be so excited."
The small misunderstanding just now did not affect Lin Mengya's mood.
Qi Yue, on the other hand, looked at her suspiciously for a while and then asked tentatively.
"Are you really not sent here by the Qi family?"
Lin Mengya shook her head, and just as she was about to continue explaining her purpose, she heard an extremely arrogant voice coming from outside.
"You bitch! Get out of my way! If you dare to stop me again, I'll have your bones ripped apart!"
After hearing this voice, Qi Yue's eyes showed a bit of disgust.
But he also knew that he had really wronged this girl.
"Miss Gong, your maid should be at the door. You should ask her to step away quickly. Don't let innocent people suffer because of me."
