The girl named Min'er quickly brought four cups of tea.
The tea was fragrant, and as soon as you smelled it, you knew it was fine tea, but Lin Mengya just sniffed it and pressed the lid of the cup.
On his face, he looked at Fang Gu with a half-smile.
"The tea is good, but the brewing method is wrong."
Seeing that Lin Mengya didn't drink, it was impossible for the other two to drink easily.
Besides, they could hear Lin Mengya's words clearly.
"Oh? How do you know that this tea is wrong when you haven't even drunk it yet?"
Fang Gu did not comment, but picked up the glass in front of her and drank it gracefully.
"Some teas don't taste right even without drinking it. Your tea was brewed with boiling water. The tea leaves have been scalded to brown, and the tea soup is extremely bitter. The original refreshing taste is nowhere to be found, so I said
,This tea is brewed wrongly.”
Lin Mengya gently opened the lid of the teacup, and sure enough, it was just as she said.
Zuo Qiuyu and Yu An looked at each other in confusion, huh? Is it really just that the brewing method is wrong?
"Yes, this tea shouldn't be brewed like this. However, although it doesn't taste like tea, it may have more flavor. Master, why don't you try it."
Fanggu looked at Lin Mengya calmly, but the latter was sneering in her heart.
Ice-like coldness began to spread from Lin Mengya's eyes. However, her tone was still as relaxed as before.
"Drink, you can't drink it. But I'm a little curious, who sent you here? Are you looking down on me a bit by using such a low-level sweat medicine to fool us?"
The truth was revealed. Although Lin Mengya was still sitting there, her eyes were already filled with chill.
Unexpectedly, when she came to a small gambling house, someone wanted to drug her again.
But who knew that Qinggu was not panicked at all, but instead had a somewhat appreciative smile on her face.
"Young master, don't blame me. I just like to joke with others. Min'er, please give me a cup of good tea."
A joke? Lin Mengya couldn't help but sneer in her heart, but she became more and more alert.
Zuo Qiuyu and Yu'an seemed to be ready to explode at any time, with sharp eyes covering the unchanging Qinggu.
"Don't misunderstand me. Although my place is not a serious place, it is not a black shop. However, this young man is somewhat similar to my old friend many years ago. I missed my friend so much that I became frivolous.
Some. Also please sir, I have a lot."
Lin Mengya's mind turned slightly. Could it be possible that this person was somewhat similar to her? Did this person ever know her mother?
But that This was twenty or thirty years ago. Besides, even if you know your mother, it doesn't mean that this person doesn't have any bad intentions for you.
"Since we are old friends, I won't argue with you. I'll say goodbye."
Lin Mengya stood up and wanted to leave, but Fanggu said a faint word.
"Princess, is she okay?"
Lin Mengya's body trembled, and Lin Mengya's mind changed rapidly. Several people in the yard froze in place at the same time.
"We said goodbye that day. She and I have not seen each other for twenty years. But from the first moment I saw you, I knew that you were the eldest princess's child, right?"
Every word Fanggu said, even at the end, was already a bit trembling and excited.
Lin Mengya was shocked. Except for her two cousins, no one had ever been able to identify her with such certainty.
Turning her head, Lin Mengya didn't speak, she just stared at Fang Gu with a pair of black eyes motionless.
"It's so similar. You and the eldest princess are really alike. A few days ago, news spread that the eldest princess's daughter, the little princess, had been found. I didn't believe it at first, but...
After I saw your appearance today, I had no choice but to believe it. My lord, your servant, Xunfang, would like to pay my regards to the lord."
The proprietress Fang Gu, who was originally very calm, was now in tears.
Even Lin Mengya didn't know how to deal with it. At first, she thought this person was going to kill her.
But now, she was kneeling on the ground, crying bitterly.
"Now that you know my identity, why did you drug me just now?"
Lin Mengya did not believe Qing Gu's words easily. The old capital was full of dangers, let alone a woman who suddenly appeared and claimed to know her mother.
"My slave knows that it has been so long since the incident happened. It is understandable that the princess does not believe in my slave. But, does the princess know this thing?"
Aunt Fang suddenly took out an exquisite wooden box from her arms.
Zuo Qiuyu and Yu'an subconsciously stood in front of Lin Mengya, fearing that Lin Mengya would be harmed by others.
Unexpectedly, Qinggu took out an exquisite gold hairpin from the wooden box.
Although the golden hairpin is no longer as bright as before due to time, the delicate plum blossom shape on the hairpin is something Lin Mengya is very familiar with.
"The slave girl is one of the eldest princess's personal maids. This is the time when the late emperor
One of the twelve plum blossom hairpins made by the emperor for the eldest princess. I have one here. It was a keepsake for me when the eldest princess ran away. I have been carrying it with me for so many years. Now,
The princess is finally here. My slave, my slave is so happy that I don’t know what to say."
Aunt Fang changed her previous coldness and became a little too enthusiastic towards Lin Mengya.
This moment made Lin Mengya, a smart person, a little confused.
Taking the plum blossom hairpin from Qinggu's hand, Lin Mengya carefully identified it and found that it was indeed exactly the same as the plum blossom mark on her waist and left by her mother.
But how could it be such a coincidence that she chose a gambling shop run by someone who had served her mother?
Could it be that it is really the mother who has her own plans?
"You said you had served the eldest princess, but what proof do you have?"
When Lin Mengya encountered her mother's matter, she was a little at a loss.
Zuo Qiuyu, on the other hand, remained calm.
After the initial excitement, Fanggu wiped her tears and realized that she seemed to be a little abrupt just now.
But, I suddenly met the old owner’s daughter, how to make her not excited?
He quickly stood up from the ground and said
"I was too excited and made the princess laugh. When the eldest princess took a few of us out of the palace, she had arranged a way out for us. Those sisters have all gotten married, but I, the slave, have been so happy all these years.
, has been staying in the old capital. Just to meet the eldest princess one day, which can be regarded as reconciling the relationship between our master and servant. At the beginning, slaves like us who served in the palace were all created.
It is registered as proof. I will bring it here, so that the princess can feel at ease."
After saying that, Fang Gu turned around and went back to the back room to look for evidence.
Min'er, who brought a few more cups of tea, looked at the three nobles with a smile on her face.
Tea, no more problems.
Lin Mengya was so upset that she couldn't help but pick up the teacup and took a big sip.
This incident was really a coincidence that surprised her.
"Girl, let me ask you this. Is your landlady like this on weekdays?"
Lin Mengya asked Min'er in a low voice for information. It wasn't that she didn't believe it, but the speed of this change was really too fast, wasn't it?
"Returning to the princess, our master is usually the most calm. This slave has been with the master since she was a child, and has never seen her so excited. Probably because of this. Because, my master and the eldest princess really have a deep relationship between master and servant."
Lin Mengya nodded, although she still had some doubts in her heart.
However, mother has always been a cautious person. Back then, Shangguan Qing and the others searched for mother's precious things so wantonly, but wasn't the most precious thing still kept by mother?
Twelve golden hairpins with plum blossoms, and they are the same as the mark on her waist.
Presumably, it must be of extremely important significance to my mother.
With my mother's temperament, the possibility of someone with bad intentions wanting it is extremely low.
Could it be that it was such a coincidence that she was just out for a stroll and bumped into the gambling shop run by her mother's former maid?
This fate is probably unspeakable.
"Yu'an, if Aunt Fang is really my mother's maid, is there any way to prove it?"
Fortunately, Yu'an is a know-it-all about court matters.
"Yes, our Lintian Kingdom has an explicit order. All chambermaids and maids who enter the palace must be registered. Regardless of their place of origin or origin, they must be recorded in detail. Especially, like slaves or aunts,
Those who serve in front of the masters must be from a pure family background. If Aunt Qiang can really produce the roster, the slaves will be able to distinguish the authenticity."
Yu'an's words made Lin Mengya calm down.
Whether it is true or false, you will naturally understand it clearly when you see the roster later.
In fact, she had some vague expectations in her heart. She hoped that Qinggu would really be someone close to her mother.
In this case, she will be able to know everything about her mother's past.
I've drank tea twice. Even Min'er couldn't stop looking into the room.
However, Fang Gu's figure still didn't come out. In fact, there was no movement at all.
Lin Mengya looked at the ajar door and frowned slightly.
"Miss Min'er, do you know where Aunt Fang usually keeps these important things?"
Min'er shook her head helplessly. This was a gambling house, so the proprietress was naturally very careful.
However, Lin Mengya felt more and more something was wrong.
Even if it is placed in a secret place, it may take too long.
"Why don't you come with me and take a look. I have no intention of prying into Qinggu's privacy, but we have other things to do. If it's too troublesome, it's not too late to come and see her in a few days."
