She knew what Uncle Yan meant, but she felt that Ning Liang, the great butler, was a bit "unjust".
Even after getting her affirmative answer, Uncle Yan still felt that this was not the truth.
"Master of the family, I, Gong Feiyan, can be considered an old man of the Gong family. My loyalty to the Gong family can be seen from the sun and the moon. If someone wants to blackmail the emperor to order the princes, I will not let him go!"
He glared at Ning Liang fiercely, and the threat in it made Ning Liang couldn't help but smile secretly in his heart.
However, although Uncle Yan was dissatisfied with him, he failed to do anything that he should do.
Because of this, Ning Liang actually trusted this thorn.
Lin Mengya also understood what Yan Bo meant. It seemed that some rumors had affected these people.
He cleared his throat and said seriously, "I know that except for Uncle Yan, the people sitting here are all the meritorious officials of our Gong family. Therefore, I think it is better for us to talk about some things."
??.
She glanced at Ning Liang, who just stood beside her humbly.
"Ning Liang is the housekeeper I personally promoted. Like you, he is the person I trust most. I know you have heard some recent rumors. If you have anything else you want to know, you can tell me now.
.”
What she said made the stewards in the outer courtyard a little submissive.
Despite her young age, Gong Ya is straightforward and neat in her actions.
They had also heard some rumors about her before.
At that moment, I felt timid.
Gong Feiyan looked around, got angry, and stood up.
"Master, I want to know, is this Ning Liang's butler your intention, or is it Su Mei's intention?"
These words are extremely bold.
Several stewards around him couldn't help but sweat.
Lin Mengya raised her sparkling eyes and looked at Uncle Yan.
"That's what I meant."
"But everyone outside says that Su Mei covets the position of the head of the Gong family. Don't be afraid. No matter who conspires with Su Mei, I only recognize you as the head of the family!"
Patting his chest, Uncle Yan acted like a protector.
Lin Mengya couldn't help but shook her head secretly. This stubborn little old man was quite cute sometimes.
However, this is definitely not the reason why he doubts himself so much.
"Uncle Yan, I want to ask these things. Do you want to ask them yourself, or does everyone think so?"
The stewards around looked at each other, and finally nodded in unison.
The attitude is very firm.
"Okay, then I will tell you the truth. From the beginning to the end, Su Mei is mine. I think I don't need to say more about other things, right?"
She had a serious look on her face. There is a hint of evil in her pretty face, and she has a rather calm and confident attitude.
The stewards were all shocked by her for a moment.
Even Yan Bo was speechless for a long time.
"If that's the case, then why are there still these rumors outside?"
Lin Mengya shook her head and said, "I don't know either. But I know that if the news today was not about Su Mei, but any of you, I would protect him in this way. If I don't even have this little trust, then I am too
I feel ashamed of everyone’s loyalty to the Gong family.”
For a moment, the stewards in the outer courtyard were silent.
In fact, from another perspective, Su Mei is not the same as them?
For Gong Ya, and even the Gong family, most of them are outsiders.
However, they were entrusted with important tasks by Gong Ya.
Think about it carefully, if one day they were wronged, but their boss believed in them so firmly, I would probably shed tears of gratitude and die for my boss, right?
Gong Feiyan was also stunned, and then he looked at Ning Liang with some confusion.
The latter didn't have any grudges and smiled at him.
To be fair, the Gong family has indeed become more prosperous day by day since this big housekeeper took office.
As the steward of the outer courtyard, he delegated power to himself in a very generous manner.
Moreover, Ning Liang is fair and reliable in his work, and his starting point is for the Gong family.
Even if I wasn't convinced, I couldn't find anything wrong with it.
Now that I think about it, I am really a bit of a villain.
He sighed, walked up to Ning Liang, and actually gave him a salute.
"useless."
Ning Liang quickly supported Uncle Yan, but the latter was very insistent.
"Uncle Yan, what are you doing?"
Ning Liang was speechless and refused to let go.
"Butler, I am an old man who is short-sighted and has not seen your benefits. From now on, if you say one thing, I won't do the other. Let's do this job well together!"
Lin Mengya smiled. It was obviously very rare for Uncle Yan to correct his mistake after he realized it.
Although Ning Liang refused to say anything, their relationship had broken the ice.
The remaining stewards of the outer courtyard also breathed a sigh of relief.
And for her boss, she is even more dedicated.
An internal strife was eliminated by her.
Although she can't guarantee that all the stewards and shopkeepers will
, none of them harbored evil intentions.
But as long as everyone still has trust in each other, the Gong family will not fall into civil strife again.
After sending everyone away, she left Yan Bo alone to reply.
Without outsiders, Lin Mengya no longer pretends to be the host, and her smile is very friendly.
"My great-grandfather also said recently that he missed you. Uncle Yan, why don't you stay in the inner courtyard for a few more days."
Although Yan Bo is the chief steward of the outer college, he also takes care of the stewardship of the college.
Therefore, he not only has to deal with the affairs of the entire family, but also has to worry about matters in the academy.
Fortunately, Uncle Yan is quite capable. There has been no trouble at all these days, which is extremely rare.
Uncle Yan waved his hand and said, "No. Isn't it? There are too many things in the family, plus these new batch of gentlemen from the college, I can't do it even if I don't eat, drink or sleep. Thank you, old man.
You can think of me."
She curled her lips, and her smile became a little more friendly. .??.
"I went to visit the college a few days ago and I heard that there have been some conflicts among the teachers recently?"
Uncle Yan touched his nose and let out a long breath.
"Actually, it's not a big deal. It's just that the group of teachers who stayed before us can't get along with the new gentlemen for the time being."
"Oh? Why is this? Their treatment is much higher than that of these newcomers."
Speaking of this matter, Uncle Yan actually had a headache and couldn't help but pour out some bitter words.
"Who says it's not the case? Our previous batch of teachers were the best in terms of wages and benefits. But they were clamoring all day long that these later teachers took away what they still had. At first,
I didn't take it seriously, but now it seems that they have gone too far. These two groups are now on the same level, and whoever is more dissatisfied with the other."
While listening to Yan Bo venting his bitterness, she was also thinking of a solution.
To be honest, this result was beyond her expectation, but it was also reasonable.
It's just a well-known problem that Mr. Gong's treatment is good.
But people's hearts are always greedy.
After getting one part, you will dream about others.
If they are allowed to develop like this, won't they be allowed to run rampant in the college in the future?
"Then how did my third brother handle it?"
Mentioning this, Uncle Yan's eyebrows relaxed a little.
"Our third son is really smart. He talked to people from these two groups before. Although they didn't reach an agreement, there was a competition because of this matter."
"Oh? What game." "The Third Young Master said that since no one is convinced by anyone else, then each of them should teach his own students. Every other year, a big competition will be held. The winning faction will have priority for the next year. But there are
One point, they are not allowed to hurt each other, nor are they allowed to avenge themselves, which will affect the operation of the entire academy, and they are not allowed to expel the other faction from the academy. Now, they have no time to quarrel, they are all holding back to win the first competition!"
Lin Mengya didn't expect that her third brother would come up with such a trick.
I have to say that this move is really clever.
If you want to completely appease one of the factions, you will have to completely offend the other faction.
But now, this matter has just been turned into a competition within the academy.
As long as it is properly introduced, it can become a benign mechanism that promotes the progress of students and teachers.
Sure enough, the third brother is still the most suitable for that position.
"Master, do you think you need me to remind the Third Young Master?"
Yan Bo said tentatively, fearing that the head of the family would be unhappy because of this.
Lin Mengya shook her head, with a comfortable smile on her lips.
"No, you don't need anything. Uncle Yan just needs to fully cooperate with my third brother. This is a good thing, a huge good thing."
Only then did Uncle Yan feel a big stone fall to the ground.
Just now, he thought that the head of the family would be angry with the Third Young Master for taking matters into his own hands.
"By the way, are the women's concubines also excluded?"
Mentioning this, Uncle Yan's face looked a little unhappy.
"It's not a case of ostracism. It's just that recently some people from small aristocratic families want to abolish the women's college. They say that it is inappropriate for women to live in the same school as men. But I refused them all. Our Gong family
How can we allow them to make irresponsible remarks about our affairs?"
Lin Mengya knew what Yan Bo meant.
Not to mention anything else, her Gong family is a family headed by a woman.
Those people have opinions about the Women’s House. To put it bluntly, don’t they still have opinions about her?
I'm afraid that if she agrees to abolish the women's concubine today, the next step will be to be called a bastard and a mess of ethics.
If it doesn't work for the Gong family, do you want to use public opinion to suppress her?
Beautiful thought!
"If they want to say it, let them do it. I think the women's concubine does not need to be kept in a separate place."
Uncle Yan was shocked. Could it be that the head of the family was confused?
Then Gong Ya's words made Yan Bo realize that it was over and his family leader was going crazy.
"The men's and women's colleges are all students of our Sita College. So starting from tomorrow, both male and female students can go to school in the same classroom. Except for the separate living areas, everything else can be together."
