"Great-grandfather, don't worry. I understand."
Even though Gong Qianfeng still had a knot in his heart, he was completely disappointed in that traitor.
It had to be said that it was easier for her to deal with it this way.
"However, you still have to think of a way to get that bastard back. That bastard is in cahoots with those people. I'm afraid that if you kill him in Xinzhou, there might be more problems. "
She nodded. She had forgotten about this.
"But Gong Zhe doesn't have that much power. Do the other families have to protect him?"
Logically speaking, a traitor like Gong Zhe who betrayed his own family would not be put in an important position even in the other families.
After all, who would believe in the loyalty of a person who could even betray his own family?
Gong Qianfeng shook his head this time and said hesitantly.
"This is also what I find strange. Sigh, I don't know much about these things. Your brothers are worried about my health and never tell the truth. You can ask them on the way. "
She thought that she had to ask them about it.
After sending off her great-grandfather, her big brother had taken care of everything at home and outside. She could only pack up her luggage with Baisu.
She had probably expected this to happen. Since half a month ago, her big brother and the others had purposely bought many things for her.
From her point of view, many of the things were very expensive, but not extravagant or gaudy.
It seemed that the aesthetic standards of the Gong family coincided with hers.
She packed up a large box. Because it was midsummer, most of the clothes she wore were thin muslin clothes.
Even so, before they set off, her big brother still asked someone to bring her a lot of things from outside. He stuffed the carriage full of things before he was willing to give up.
Lin Mengya was a little speechless, but her big brother said that it was necessary to make a scene in Xinzhou this time.
If they did not make a scene, they would definitely be looked down upon.
The Buddha made the gold, and the man made the man. This was the logic.
However, when she thought about being used as a clothes rack, she could not help but feel a headache.
Traveling in summer was usually more difficult.
However, in the Wei Kingdom, there were skilled craftsmen who specially made an extremely cool carriage for the use of high officials and nobles.
Not only was the roof made of extremely sturdy wooden planks, but there was also a layer of water between the two layers of wooden planks on the roof, which greatly alleviated the scorching heat.
Inside the carriage, the door was replaced by a fragrant bead curtain. Walking in this way, a faint fragrance floated in the breeze, making people unable to help but feel relaxed and happy.
Among the carriages at the back, there was a small carriage with a box of ice. Along the way, people would go to the icehouse in advance to order the ice they were going to use.
In this way, the guests inside wouldn't have to endure the heat at all.
There was only one drawback, and that was that the speed would be greatly reduced.
But since the rich had put on such a show, who would be in a hurry?
Along the way, she could be considered to have witnessed how a great aristocratic family hurried on their journey.
Sure enough, it was to burn money.
"Speaking of which, it's been a long time since anyone in our family has sat in such a car, right?"
Gong Wu touched the clear carriage and sighed with emotion.
The Gong family had prepared two carriages for Young Master and Young Miss.
However, Gong Wu and Gong Si felt bored sitting with Gong Bin and the others, so they randomly found an excuse and went to Lin Mengya's carriage.
There were four people in the carriage, but it was not crowded at all, nor did it make people feel hot.
"Why, did you travel in such a carriage in the past?"
Lin Mengya was not afraid of the heat, and the weather in Ye City was not very hot, probably because it was near the sea.
Even she felt that the car was so extravagant that it left her speechless. However, her brothers were very calm.
Especially Gong Wu, who seemed to be dissatisfied.
"We've never sat in such a carriage before, but I heard from my great-grandfather that only the descendants of the Gong family used to sit in such a carriage. As for the Master's carriage, it's what you call magnificent. Even the carriage is covered with ivory and gold. There's a special mechanism in the carriage, so it's warm in winter and cool in summer, just like a house. "
Lin Mengya was shocked. Look at this style, this extravagance, she was afraid that ordinary people would not be able to imagine.
"What happened after that? Where did the carriage go?"
She just asked casually. After all, this thing could be said to be a treasure, and the door alone would probably be enough for her to eat for a year.
However, when he was asked this question, Gong Wu's eyes suddenly became extremely fierce.
"Since the death of the old Master, the acting Master has been scrupulously abiding by his duty and refused to go beyond the rules. Therefore, he parked the carriage in a courtyard and waited for the return of the later Master. No matter how sad we were before, we didn't want to steal that thing. But unexpectedly, Gong Zhe, that bastard, stole the carriage! "
This was really … an unexpected gain.
"Fifth Brother, watch your words."
Gong Si held a sapphire folding fan in his hand and gently tapped on Gong Wu's knee.
Now, the Gong family's five sons were finally over, exuding true wealth and beauty.
Gong Si was still as gentle as jade, but his gestures were enough to charm thousands of girls.
Even Lin Mengya was infatuated with her Fourth Brother today. How could this little brother be so good-looking?
Gong Si could only respond with a puzzled smile in response to her fiery gaze.
Although he really liked his little sister's gaze following him, why did he always have the illusion that he had become a roasted goose?
Perhaps it was because their meals were too vegetarian recently.
"There are no outsiders here. I know that when we reach Xin Province, we must be careful with our words and actions, and we will definitely not cause trouble for the family."
Lin Mengya expressed her disbelief. If Fifth Brother did not clench his teeth and clench his fists when he spoke, there would still be a little bit of credibility.
However, even a fool could see that this fellow was holding back his strength to cause trouble and fight.
Should she think about her own safety and stay away from Fifth Brother?
"It's good that you know. Little sister, do you know why the An family and the Xu family set up the slave auction in Xin Province this time?"
Lin Mengya shook her head. She only knew that although the An family and the Xu family sold slaves for a living, they were not the only slave traders in Wei Country.
It was just that the An family and the Xu family's slaves were extremely docile, and there were many types of slaves, especially cute little children and beautiful young men and women.
With these, the An family and the Xu family earned a lot of money.
However, they also had to pay heavy taxes, and they were despised by others.
If the auction market was set up in the Xin Province, the only thing she could guess was that they wanted to harm the Gong Family?
"That's because Xin Province used to be our Gong family's fief. Although our Gong family has slaves, we are not allowed to auction them in public. When our family's slaves come of age, the master will let them choose for themselves whether to stay in the Gong family, or to get rid of their slave registration and become a citizen of Wei Country. Now, do you understand? "
Gong Si's lips curled into a faint smile. With this girl's intelligence, she must have already guessed it.
Lin Mengya exhaled softly. Perhaps it was because she had lived in the modern world for more than 20 years, and after returning here, she could not get used to slaves.
A living person had to be treated like an object. It seemed that she really could not accept it.
"Fourth Brother, are we inferior just because we are not locals of Wei Country? Look at me, how am I different from all of you? "
Gong Si stroked her little head and secretly said.
"Yes, you are freer than us, and smarter. I feel that it is not good to continue like this. "
With that, Gong Si winked at her, and his hand became gentler.
Lin Mengya suddenly understood what he was thinking. God, Fourth Elder Brother's thinking was so avant-garde!
"I will definitely fight with Fourth Brother for the liberation of slaves!"
Hugging her Fourth Brother's hand, Lin Mengya's eyes almost sparkled.
She looked at her Fourth Brother with adoration. He was indeed a warm man, no, a greenhouse effect man!
"Hey, hey, hey, what do you mean by that? No, are you discussing something fun again? I don't care, you must add me in! "
Gong Wu did not really understand, mainly because he did not want to know.
Even so, he still forcefully interrupted, and even let go of one of Lin Mengya's little hands, and held it tightly in his palm.
His little sister's hands were small and soft, which was indeed different from men like them.
Lin Mengya did not have time to pay attention to him, and only wanted to develop a friendship with Gong Si as a revolutionary comrade.
Baisu tilted her head, and looked at the reaction of the three masters.
Why did she feel a little, obedient?
She secretly frowned and shook her head. Forget it, as long as the masters were happy.
Although the people in the carriage did not work hard, the people and horses outside the carriage still had to bear the exposure of the hot sun.
Gong Bin had arranged it very well. Not only were there trees along the way, but at noon, when it was the hottest time, he would let everyone stop to rest.
In fact, they did not go far in a day, and they stayed in a small town at night.
After everything was arranged, Lin Mengya, accompanied by Baisu, was allowed to get off the carriage.
Looking at the brightly lit but somewhat ancient building in front of her, she could not help but look up at the plaque.
"Tai Ning Inn."
She softly read out the four words, and at the very center of the plaque, there was a very simple and unadorned "Gong" character.
"This used to be the inn of our Gong family."
Gong Bin knew what she wanted to ask, so he said it in advance.
Nodding, Lin Mengya walked into the inn.
The scale of the inn was not small, and after entering the door, she first came to a small round courtyard.
Walking straight ahead, it was the dining hall, and there were two corridors on the left and right, and they could directly walk up to the guest rooms at the top.
