In ancient times, it was not a simple matter for a woman to return to her natal family.
First of all, you need to inform your parents-in-law, and then send it back to your husband after getting permission. This is considered polite.
If the husband does not accompany him, he will be deemed to have made a mistake and be deported.
Sitting on the carriage, Lin Mengya really felt that the status of women in ancient times was really very different from modern times. Every year during the Spring Festival, whether to go back to her parents' house or her husband's house to celebrate the New Year always caused an uproar among the people.
However, fortunately she is an orphan and does not need to consider these issues.
But now, she has become a member of the ancient wives. She is also a royal family whose every move is related to her life. It is really a bit embarrassing.
With the prince's order, Butler Deng naturally did not dare to be careless.
Although it was because the prince had no free time that he was asked to escort the princess back to her parents' home. However, he had already seen the mother and daughter of the Lin family.
No wonder the prince felt uneasy after all the instructions. However, the princess was not someone to be bullied. Maybe it was the mother and daughter of the Lin family who suffered.
"We're almost there, we're almost there. Master, look, the big willow tree behind our house is still so tall and tall." ??
Even though she was a little reluctant, Bai Zhi still said with some excitement.
How could it be possible that the place where you grew up would be discarded so easily?
The carriage quickly arrived in front of Zhennanhou Mansion, and no one came out to greet it.
Butler Deng frowned. Originally, the palace had sent someone to deliver the news last night. But now, why is there still not even half of them?
"Princess, be careful."
With the support of Butler Deng and Bai Zhi, Lin Mengya walked to the door of her house.
He sneered, this Shangguan Qing was really getting worse and worse.
Ordinarily, at least for the sake of Long Tianyu's face, he should make some appearance.
Now, knowing that Long Tianyu is not coming, he doesn't even bother to make any pretense.
The door was closed. After all, she was the eldest daughter of the Lin family, but she was turned away by her own family. If word spread, it would be a bit unpleasant.
However, Lin Mengya did not get angry, but signaled to Butler Deng to ask someone to knock on the door.
"Come, come, who is it?"
The door was opened a crack, and then an unfamiliar face was revealed.
Lin Mengya's eyes just glanced over, and what caught her eye was a boy with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks.
In the past, all the concierges at home were veterans of my father's old army. Although each of them had gray hair, they were very reliable.
Therefore, the Lin family's concierge has never had such a thing as looking down on others.

Now that the person has changed, even if he doesn't know her as the eldest lady, he should be wiser after seeing the carriage of Prince Yu's Mansion, right?
Unexpectedly, the man just glanced at them lazily, and then asked impatiently
"Who are you? Didn't you see that this is the Zhennan Hou Mansion? What kind of door are you calling?"
The irritable tone made Lin Mengya frown slightly.
Dad once said that in a truly educated family, no matter the concierge or the servants, there should be no bullying.
Unexpectedly, not long after my father left home, this concierge appeared in the house.
Sure enough, whoever raises a dog looks like whom, right?
Butler Deng naturally refused to be acquainted with such a guy, so he said without changing his expression.
"This little brother, our wife is the eldest lady in the Lin family. Please make it convenient for you."
Butler Deng's attitude was considered polite, although the man in front of him was nothing more than a target that he could solve with one hand.
But the other party looked up and down, looking at Butler Deng with great disrespect and disdain.
"There is only one young lady Lin Mengwu in our house, and there is no other young lady next to her. Which family are you a servant of? Maybe you have mistakenly recognized the door!"
Hearing this sentence, Lin Mengya confirmed her guess.
Looking at this concierge, it seems that he was replaced after his father left. Maybe he just took up the post yesterday.
Isn't it because I want to give her, the eldest lady, a show of strength?
If she had an attack, the boy would just say that he was a newcomer, Shangguan Qing and his daughter, and he would not have any responsibility at all.
In the end, she gained a reputation as a harsh critic of her servants, which made her seem stingy.
But unfortunately, she was not so patient today and spent her time at the gate with a boy.
"Go away."
A faint shout came, and the boy was stunned for a moment. He looked across and saw a woman in palace clothes walking slowly towards the opposite side.
The second young lady in the mansion, Lin Mengya, is pretty and cute, and is already at a level that is difficult for people like them to reach.
But the young woman in front of her was so charming and charming, with a pink face that was already stunning.
The boy stared at her intently for a while, but his eyes felt a sharp pain.
"ah--"
He let out a wail, and the boy rolled on the ground in pain.
However, in front of everyone, regardless of
Neither Lin Mengya nor Bai Zhi, nor Butler Deng, felt any severe pain.
"Let's go in."
Lin Mengya didn't even look at him, and walked past the boy who was still wailing and rolling.
Since you dare to block the way, you must be prepared to be punished by her.
Butler Deng just used a small stone to teach him a lesson. He would be fine after a few days of training. If his father were here, he would definitely be punished even more severely. .??.??
After entering the gate, the servants in the front yard looked at Lin Mengya with a little more embarrassment.
However, having learned from the past, the people behind her also followed the same example and came to salute her and say hello.
"Everyone, please get up. This is a New Year's gift given to you by the eldest lady of our family. We, the eldest lady, are also inconvenienced outside. It's hard for you to serve the master and the young master at home."
Lin Mengya looked straight, not looking at anyone.
He looked somewhat arrogant, but it made most of the servants in the field tremble.
Now, despite the fact that only the wife and the second young lady are left in the house, the master and young master once said when they came back that the eldest lady will always be the eldest lady of the Lin family.
Some of these people had suffered hardships for Lin Mengya before. Cold sweat broke out immediately. You must know that Liu Er, the concierge, was considered a well-known gangster in Kyoto.
Although they didn't know why the lady would recruit such a person. But now, just for blocking the eldest lady's way, they were taught to be in such a miserable state.
Suddenly, he felt a little more respectful towards Lin Mengya.
Hopefully, there are many young ladies out there, and the next unlucky person will not be you.
"Thank you, Miss, for the reward."
Bai Zhi stood there generously and distributed some small red envelopes to all the servants.
Inside, there were just some scraps of silver. It wasn’t even enough for her daily snacks. Seeing the people she had envied in the past, who were so happy because of these scraps of silver, she couldn’t help but feel that her eldest lady,
What a good master!
"Where are the madam and the second young lady?"
There were just some servants in the front yard, and Lin Mengya did not see any sign of the mother and daughter.
It's strange. According to past practice, they should at least stand there and laugh at themselves for watching a big show. But now, it seems like they have a long memory.
"When I return to the eldest lady, my wife is in the second lady's room. I heard that the second lady suddenly fell ill this morning."
A clever woman immediately replied to Lin Mengya's words with a smile on her face.
sick ?How come it’s such a coincidence?
Lin Mengya was a little confused. Lin Mengya's body had always been healthier than hers. How could she suddenly become ill?
"Take me to see it."
It wasn't because she cared about Lin Mengwu, it was just that she felt something was a little strange.
The mother-in-law immediately led her through the front yard to Tinglan Pavilion where Lin Mengwu lived.
Compared with her small building, Tinglan Pavilion is a little less exquisite and elegant. However, it is graceful and luxurious inside, and rare treasures can be seen everywhere.
Of course, if the pipes used to drink water from hers were both from Liuxinyuan with high-quality warm jade, there would be no comparison at all.
However, it can also be seen that Lin Mengwu's life is countless times better than that of the silly Lin Mengya back then.
When Lin Mengya arrived in the courtyard, she saw Lin Mengwu's personal maid Huan'er, guarding outside with an anxious look.
After seeing Lin Mengya, he immediately came up to her and said loudly on purpose
"Greetings to the eldest lady, no, greetings to the princess."
Lin Mengya looked at Huan'er in front of her. She was about the same age as Bai Zhi, but she had already learned how to use the power of a fox to pretend to be a tiger.
At the beginning, she was sharp-tongued and bullied herself and Bai Zhi.
Judging from the flustered look on this girl's face, it seemed as if he was deliberately trying to stop her.
"Get up. I heard that my sister is sick and my mother is here. I'll go in and see them."
Lin Mengya tried to walk to Lin Mengwu's house, but Huan'er immediately stood in front of her. With her watery eyes, she looked around, looking very guilty.
"Miss, let's forget it. The second young lady is really sick. Madam specifically told me that if the eldest lady comes, just wait for a while, so as not to pass on the illness to you."
This disease came very suddenly.
Lin Mengya felt that Lin Mengwu was probably not just sick.
After taking another step forward, Lin Mengya took a deep breath before speaking loudly.
"Mom, sister, I will go back to my small house first. Sister, please take care of yourself and don't overwork yourself. If mother is free, you might as well catch up with me and talk about old times."
Seeing Lin Mengya say this, Huan'er finally breathed a sigh of relief.
With a smile on his face, he watched Lin Mengya and Bai Zhi leave Tinglan Pavilion.
"Master, why were you so polite just now? Why don't you just rush in? Look, what's wrong? Madam Punctual and the Second Miss want to deliberately embarrass you!"
Bai Zhi said angrily, but she saw a faint smile on Lin Mengya's lips.
