After watching for a while, Lin Mengya followed Qinghu back to the palace.
At the back door, Bai Su had been waiting there for a long time.
Under her cover, Lin Mengya sneaked back into her room without anyone noticing.
On the bed, Baiji was tossing and turning, unable to sleep.
Her sister-in-law hasn't come back yet, and her heart is always on edge, for fear of being discovered.
Suddenly, a dark shadow appeared in front of her bed.
Forcibly controlling the desire to scream, he stretched out his hand, tremblingly, and opened the corner of the curtain.
Inadvertently, I saw a pair of embroidered shoes embroidered with peonies, and my hanging heart finally relaxed.
"Master, you are joking with me like this, you are going to scare people to death!"
He opened the tent and saw Lin Mengya wearing a crimson cloak, looking at him with a smile.
"I'm just joking with you. I'll pay attention to it in the future, Sister Baiji!"
She looked at Lin Mengya angrily, but Bai Ji couldn't help but laugh.
As time passed, the relationship between them was no longer a simple master-servant relationship.
"Come up quickly, it's cold at night and the bed is warm."
Baiji quickly changed Lin Mengya's clothes, and both master and servant got into bed, covering themselves with quilts and chatting.
"Master, it's not winter yet, why are you so cold?"
She covered Lin Mengya's feet in distress. She also had younger brothers and sisters at home, so she treated these ones in the yard with special care.
"It's probably because of your physical condition. By the way, Baiji, is there anyone else in your family?"
The pharmacy cannot be left without someone to manage it, but it has a special status, so the people who use it must be loyal and reliable.
Since Baiji came to her yard, she has done a lot of things diligently and steadfastly.
In addition, she is considered one of her own, and a family that can raise such a good daughter cannot do anything wrong as a person.
"Master, I have a father, a mother, a younger sister, and two younger brothers at home."
These were all stated in the deed of sale when entering the house.
If it hadn't been for years of famine, she wouldn't have come out to work.
But fortunately, she came from such a good family, and the master treated her like a sister, so she was lucky.
"Then what are your parents doing?"
Baiji didn't think about anything else and just answered truthfully.
"When my father was young, he also worked as a housekeeper in a wealthy family's village. My mother used to be the steward of the embroidery village. Later, when she got older and became useless, she was fired by her employer."
Speaking of which, the employment relationship in ancient times was very unreliable.
There is no guarantee for employees, so in their later years, they often face a miserable life. "I bought a property outside. Firstly, it is to earn some pocket money for us, and secondly, it is also to save some dowry for you. I will never trust this shop if I hand it over to others. I won't let you call me in a few days."
Your parents will come here, and if I think it’s okay, I’ll let them take care of it, okay?”
Lin Mengya's words surprised Bai Ji.
He looked at the master in front of him stupidly, too shocked to say a word.
"But Master, my parents are old and my younger brothers and sisters are not sensible. What if-"
"It's nothing. If I can trust you, I can also trust your family. I can't count on Bai Su and Bai Zhi. You can ask Bai Shao tomorrow. If there are any family members who are short of work, bring them with them. I'll look at them.
look."
Lin Mengya's voice gradually weakened.
Before Bai Ji could answer, she saw that her master had fallen into a deep sleep.
Smiled and shook his head.
The master of her family seems to be extremely shrewd.
But even with this temperament, sometimes he is too childlike.
I carefully tucked my master into bed, and I couldn't be more moved.
To have such a master, she must have burned high incense in her previous life.
In late autumn, the weather is getting colder day by day.
But for some reason, the chrysanthemums in Lin Mengya's yard were in full bloom.
Every day, Concubine De would come to the yard and walk around to admire the flowers.
"Greetings to Concubine De."
As soon as Concubine De arrived in the courtyard, the four girls around Lin Mengya came up to her and saluted her very politely.
"Oh, this Liuxinyuan is so beautiful and charming. Jinyue, look at these four girls. Do they look like you and me back then?"
Concubine De fell in love with Lin Mengya more and more, so even the servants in her courtyard were tainted with some glory.
"Your Majesty, this is a compliment to them. These four girls are good, but how can they compare to your elegance that year?"
Jin Yue saw it in her eyes and felt happy in her heart.
Under Lin Mengya's training, these four little girls are becoming more and more distinguished.
She is well dressed, behaves and sits gracefully, and is much better than the average lady.
I looked around, but couldn't see the owner of the yard.
"Girl Bai Ji, where is your mistress? Why doesn't anyone come? In the past, she had to be the first one to come out and behave well in front of the empress to get rewards!"
Concubine De also took a look and found that Lin Mengya was indeed nowhere to be seen.
"If I go back to my aunt, there will be a chrysanthemum appreciation party tomorrow. The princess feels that ordinary chrysanthemum appreciation parties are always boring.
What we were talking about has failed to live up to your Majesty’s kindness. So, I’m going to try my best to give you a surprise.”
Baiji replied politely.
Concubine De and Jin Yue looked at each other, what tricks was this princess up to again?
"Oh? Is there anything new that you can tell me about?"
Concubine De was obviously interested, but the four girls who had been given a silence order by Lin Mengya refused to say anything and insisted that Concubine De go and have a look.
"Okay, I'm going to go take a look. This girl is getting more and more naughty."
They were said to be mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, but the relationship between Lin Mengya and Concubine De was closer than that of Long Tianyu, their real son.
As soon as they entered the inner courtyard of Liuxinyuan, they saw Long Tianyu hugging Lin Mengya, surrounded by a group of frightened servants.
"What are you doing standing still?"
There was a hint of shyness in Jin Yue's eyes.
The prince and the princess are very close, so they shouldn't hug each other openly in front of the servants.
What kind of system is this?
"Mother! Put me down quickly!"
Lin Mengya struggled in Long Tianyu's arms embarrassedly. In fact, she just climbed up to hang something, but she lost her balance and fell down.
Unexpectedly, Long Tianyu arrived in time.
He picked her up in his arms easily, and what he didn't expect was that her angle was just right.
The lips of the two people touched each other lightly.
There were servants all around, but things happened in the blink of an eye.
Until now, her face is still red.
"Be careful, don't hurt yourself."
Just a kiss like a dragonfly, but Long Tianyu's heart started to beat wildly uncontrollably.
Lin Mengya's breath was really too sweet.
Like lightning, it rushed into his heart.
"I'm fine."
The two embarrassed men and women just faced each other in silence.
However, the eyes of the surrounding spectators all had little pink hearts.
"These two children, oh, you!"
Concubine De came over. As someone who has been there, she knows best the sweetest love between men and women.
As a member of the royal family, marriage is nothing but a bargaining chip and a shackle.
If you can have loving feelings, this life will be considered worthwhile.
Ya'er is a very good child, but Yu'er also surprised her.
"Greetings to my mother and concubine, just now...just now I just accidentally fell off the ladder, and it was the prince who saved me."
Her pretty face turned red, but Lin Mengya didn't know that she was getting more and more The outline is getting darker.
"He saved you. Well, he did a good job. However, I heard that you have some new ideas. What kind of ideas are you having in your little head?"
Concubine De hurriedly came to the rescue and glared at Long Tianyu with her beautiful eyes.
Long Tianyu immediately stepped away and gave up his princess to his mother-in-law.
"I think ordinary banquets are always boring. If not, let's have a masked guessing contest."
Masked quiz contest? The foreheads of De Fei and Long Tianyu are both covered with question marks.
Where did you come up with this method?
Under Lin Mengya's explanation, De Fei and Long Tianyu finally understood.
This time, all the guests who came must wear Lin Mengya’s special masks and costumes.
In this way, the identity and status of the other party will not be known.
Because of this, everyone can have more fun.
The guessing competition is just in time for the Mid-Autumn Festival.
At that time, she will come up with many puzzles about the Mid-Autumn Festival or chrysanthemums.
Whoever guesses more will get a prize.
The reason why we held this kind of banquet was entirely because Concubine De was usually too restrained.
If she puts on airs and is a concubine, she can only hear some compliments.
Not like this, have fun.
"I'm afraid there's something wrong with this. What if someone bumps into my wife?"
Jin Yue was still a little worried. After all, Concubine De was of noble birth and could never be looked down upon.
"Auntie, please don't worry. At that time, the male guests will have their own place, and the female guests will have their own place. Although they are masked, they can still distinguish the men and women clearly. As long as I am with my mother and concubine, I will not be able to distinguish them.
Someone will bump into my mother-in-law."
Lin Mengya just wanted to watch the excitement. When the time came, she and Concubine De hid in the corner and watched the joke.
First of all, it is to distinguish people.
The people in her courtyard all showed their true colors.
And those outside, whether they are masters or slaves, must wear her special clothes.
It's clear at a glance and there's no way to mislead it.
Moreover, everyone who participated had to have her designs printed with special paint on their hands.
If you want to take the opportunity to cause trouble, there is no way.
"Well, this is a great idea, Yu'er, what do you think?"
Concubine De suddenly brought the topic to Long Tianyu.
Originally, Long Tianyu would have replied no matter how bad he was.
But for a long time, there was no reply from Long Tianyu.
"Yu'er? Yu'er? My mother-in-law is asking you something!"
When I turned around, I saw my silly son staring intently at his own daughter-in-law!
