"If you remember anything, just say it. Why are you still hesitating at a time like this!"
Mrs. Liu was so angry that she growled at the old maid. The old maid immediately lowered her head, and there was a hint of fear in her voice.
"Madam, do you remember that five months ago, a seamstress came to our house to sew winter clothes for Miss Liu?"
Mrs. Liu nodded. There was indeed such a thing.
"That seamstress had a brother named Zilang. I've met him several times. He was very handsome, well-spoken, and good at making people happy. He often came to pick up the seamstress. Miss Liu saw that his sister's skills were outstanding, so she rewarded them several times. Maybe it was … the seeds of trouble were planted at that time. "
The old maid lowered her head as she spoke.
Mrs. Liu gritted her teeth in hatred. She wanted to rush out immediately and skin the guy who had ruined her daughter's innocence.
"Jiao 'er is so silly! That seamstress's brother must be a lowly person. How, how could she be like this … Alas … "
Lin Mengya chose to watch everything coldly.
Wasn't today's result all because she had spoiled him all the time?
"Miss Gong, what do you think we should do now?"
He was really anxious. Otherwise, how could the proud Madam Liu ask him for help?
Lin Mengya sat at the table calmly. After thinking for a while, she opened her mouth.
"Mrs. Liu, do you really want to avenge your daughter?"
"What do you mean? Didn't you say that you can help us? "
"Of course I can help you. Unfortunately, Mrs. Liu, we didn't have a very pleasant relationship before. I can't let someone stab me in the back, can I? "
At this time, she was practically asking for half of Madam Liu's life.
"You! Today, even if my daughter was in the wrong, she, she was forced to do it! Since you said you can help us, just tell us what you want. "
Lin Mengya sneered in her heart and glanced at Mrs. Liu.
"Madam, although we're not friends. Actually, we're not enemies. Why did Miss Liu choose my brother? It's better for you to figure it out. Also, Miss Liu didn't mean to kill my brother, but she's a young lady from a big family, how could she have such a vicious idea? Madame Liu, I'm going to advise you to get to the bottom of things first, and then come talk to me. It won't be too late, so that you won't become the knife that kills people without knowing it. Miss Liu should be fine these few days. She just needs to rest well. I'll take my leave first. "
She stood up and left with her people. Madam Liu was just about to stop her, but she stopped.
"Madam, are we just going to let them leave?"
The old maid asked in a low voice.
"What else can we do? She was right. There was indeed something fishy about this. Take good care of Jiao 'er, I'm going to see Master. "
"Yes."
After leaving the Liu's mansion, Lin Mengya asked someone to carry Gong Wu to the horse carriage.
It was freezing cold, and the wind was bone-chilling.
Although the injury was not serious, it was not serious, and Gong Wu had suffered quite a bit.
"Miss, will Fifth Young Master be alright?"
In the room, Shang'er was worried.
These days, Gong Ping had been assigned to take care of Fifth Young Master. Every day when he came back, his face was tense, which made her worried.
"It's okay. It's good to let him suffer a little, lest he thinks that no one can hurt him just because he has martial arts."
Lin Mengya sat in the small flower hall and drank tea. No one knew that the medicine she asked Baisu to give Gong Wu was the healing medicine that her teacher, Baili Rui, had personally developed.
In less than half a month, this guy would be alive and kicking again.
It was for Gong Wu's own good to let his illness linger.
If he recovered too quickly, it would always arouse suspicion.
"Damn it, it's snowing again! Miss, there's someone outside asking to see you. "
In the courtyard of the Gong family, the supervisor in charge of greeting and sending people off was called Gong Rong.
He was an old man in the Gong family. Since Gong Wu and the others were young, he had been in charge of the affairs in Dragon City.
Now he had a good relationship with Lin Mengya, and they often talked and laughed.
"Who is it, Uncle Rong? Who would look for Miss on such a cold day? "
Shang'er pulled up the curtain and let the man in.
"Miss, it's the second young master of the Lian family."
"Oh? Let him in, Uncle Rong. Have you found the craftsman I asked you to find for me a few days ago? "
Gong Rong nodded. Although it was not an easy task, he was lucky enough to fulfill the task.
"Alright, then I'll have to trouble you. It's cold outside. If there's anything, just let the young people report to me. "
Uncle Rong retreated with a smile. Not long after, Lian Xing ran up to her excitedly.
"My beautiful sister from the Gong family, how did you do it? Tell me quickly, let me learn a few moves! "
Even the young master came up and said sweet things like a cannon.
Lin Mengya glanced at him and slowly asked someone to bring him a cup of hot tea.
Looking at that guy's curious look, Lin Mengya was very calm.
Lian Xing did not regard himself as an outsider. After taking a sip of tea to get rid of the cold, he immediately said with a smile.
"You didn't expect that Lu Ying would never be nice to me. Every time he saw my elder brother, he would scold me openly and secretly, and I couldn't wait to avoid him. I didn't expect that the prescription you gave me would make him so excited that he kept praising me in front of my elder brother! Alas, if I had such good skills, I'm afraid I wouldn't be scolded so much! "
In the past few days, she had sent someone to inquire about Lu Ying. Lu Ying loved his soldiers as if they were his children. The prescription for frostbite medicine she gave was simple and effective. It was the most suitable medicine for the military camp.
Don't look down on an inconspicuous small prescription. It was improved by her teacher based on the prescription of the music score for the green stringed instrument.
Naturally, ordinary prescriptions could not be compared to it. No wonder Lu Ying changed her opinion of Lian Xing.
"So, this is how you came to thank me?"
Lin Mengya deliberately glanced at Lian Xing's two hands.
The latter suddenly patted his head and took out a small brocade box from his bosom.
"Look at me, I was so happy that I forgot! This little thing is a little token of my appreciation. In the future, if you need any help, I, Lian Xing, will do my best to help. "
Shang'er took the brocade box. Lin Mengya opened it and saw a small ladybug carved from jade.
Moreover, it was warm to the touch, which was better than a hand stove, and more elegant.
"Thank you very much."
Although it was just a small toy, it was definitely worth a lot.
It must have been hard for Lian Xing to choose such a gift for her.
"Sister Gong, I've done everything according to your instructions. What should we do next?"
Lian Xing called her affectionately, as if she was one of his own.
At the end of the day, she had borrowed Lian Xing's hand to help her in this matter.
Moreover, she had accepted his gift.
"Now, although the frostbite in the military camp can be controlled, in the long run, the number of people suffering from frostbite will only increase. The only way is to change their living environment."
Lian Xing let out a sigh. How could he not know?
However, the position of the imperial guards was too awkward.
If it weren't for her brother's sake, even the army's pay would have been deducted.
The Ministry of War would definitely not allocate such a large sum of money to repair the barracks.
Last year, her brother almost broke his legs because of this. Now, it was still the same.
"Alas, if only things were so simple. If the Ministry of War doesn't give money, the emperor won't give money either. Even if our Lian family can afford it, but … It's not like that's the case after all. This is for the emperor to nurture his soldiers! "
Lin Mengya could hear the helplessness in Lian Xing's voice.
She smiled and said softly, "You're guarding the treasure without knowing it.
There are ready-made ways to get it, but you have to give up what's close at hand and seek what's far away. Who can you blame? "
Lian Xing looked at her in confusion, not understanding what she meant.
"I heard that the land in the far north is covered with snow all year round. The people there are not good at resting in brick houses, but specially build houses made of snow. It's cold outside, but it's as warm as spring inside. Don't you think it's amazing? "
Lian Xing's eyes widened in disbelief.
"How is that possible? If the house was built with snow, wouldn't the people freeze to death inside? "
"Don't be surprised. You should read more books when you have nothing to do. There are beauties in books, and there are houses of gold in books. It's not terrible to be ignorant, but it's your fault to come out and embarrass yourself. "
Lian Xing could only smile bitterly after being ridiculed by her.
However, this matter was truly unimaginable. Not to mention seeing it, he had never even heard of it before.
"If snow can really be used to build houses, then the imperial guards won't have to suffer from the cold anymore. Sister Gong, do you really know that there's such an amazing person? "
Lin Mengya looked outside. At this moment, the craftsman hired by Uncle Rong had arrived.
"Of course there is. Bring this craftsman to the barracks tomorrow. According to his instructions, build an igloo for the barracks. If the effect is good, the craftsman can continue to stay there, and I'll pay for his wages. If it doesn't work, it's not too late for you to send her back to me. "
Lian Xing was skeptical. After looking at Gong Ya's face for a few times, he suddenly said with a smile.
"Sister Gong is really interesting. Forget it, I'll just get beaten up. Sister Gong, don't worry, I'll definitely bring him back to you in one piece! "
Lin Mengya lowered her head and took a sip of tea.
Sigh, it was a pity that she couldn't see the moment the igloo was built with her own eyes. Those guys who had never seen the world were shocked to see the scene.
Forget it, people should not be too happy, or they would suffer retribution.
Watching Lian Xing bring the person away, the sky outside gradually darkened again. Lin Mengya, who was sleepy from the stove, walked along the reception hall and back to her room.
In such a heavy snowy day, it was more practical to snuggle under the quilt.
She still had to take a break from the busy schedule.
The snowstorm lasted for another two days before it gradually stopped.
All the snow on the main streets of Dragon City was still swept by the slaves, turned into snow, and then transported out of the city.
