"When I was young, I also wanted to go out and have a look. But my father told me that a wise man is crafty and unpredictable. If a fool is in power, he will harm the country. But if a wise man is in power, once he has evil thoughts, it will be a catastrophe. "
Cai Ling's lips curved into a bitter smile.
In fact, he knew better than anyone that his father was not imprisoned by the emperor, but he was willing to be imprisoned in this cage, just to control his ambition.
After hearing this, Lin Mengya felt that Cai Ling was definitely a talent that she must win over.
There were many smart people in the world, but there were even more talented people.
However, there weren't many smart people who had a sparkling, translucent, and exquisite heart.
"Uncle also said that one thought is good, and the other is evil. It can be seen that good and evil are in people's hearts, not in your position. If you have evil thoughts, how can you be trapped within a square inch of Dragon Capital? In this case, why don't you come with me to see the great rivers and mountains? "
This was a sincere invitation, and Cai Ling also understood what she meant. He neither refused nor agreed, but just said solemnly.
"What you said is very reasonable, so I will think about what you said. Give me some time, and I will give you an answer, okay?"
Then there was no reason for her not to agree, and she believed that Cai Ling would definitely be their partner.
"All right, all right." Gong Si interrupted their conversation at the right time, pulled her back, who refused to leave by the window, and handed her a cup of hot tea to ward off the cold.
"Didn't Second Brother and the others say that they should be here soon? Your Fifth Brother is really something. How did he disappear as well? "
Cai Ling's face was a little red.
He lowered his head and fiddled with the hem of his clothes, looking a little nervous.
Lin Mengya knew that Cai Ling was afraid of strangers, but because the Gong family and the Cai family had known each other for many years, Cai Ling accompanied them to wait.
Who would like to be alone?
"Didn't you tell Fifth Brother this morning?"
Gong Si sighed with a helpless look on his face.
"You also know Old Fifth. Although he looks unreliable, he can be considered reliable when doing things. Perhaps, he was delayed by something. "
As soon as he finished speaking, someone shouted from below the window.
"Little Sister, Fourth Brother, Ling! Look who's here! "
Lin Mengya immediately poked her head out to have a look and saw a group of hurried travelers walking in their direction on the snow-covered ground not far away.
The carriage stopped in the snow, revealing a few faces.
Lin Mengya shook her hands vigorously and ran out of the room excitedly.
"You lass, why are you wearing so little in this world of ice and snow?"
Outside the Clear Jade Restaurant, Gong Bin and Gong Qianfeng, who had unexpectedly arrived, looked at her and Gong Si with smiles.
"What if you catch a cold? Hurry up and go in."
Gong Er frowned as he took off his cloak and wrapped it around her body.
"Let's not stand here. If we don't leave, how can little sister leave?"
In the end, it was still Gong San who was steady. While he was happy, he was still concerned about the others.
Gong Si and Gong Wu nodded and led the family into the Clear Jade Restaurant.
As soon as he entered, he saw Cai Ling standing at the staircase in a daze, looking a little uneasy.
"This is … that kid from the Cai family, right?"
Gong Qianfeng narrowed his eyes and suddenly remembered.
Cai Ling bowed to this senior of the Gong family and nodded.
"Cai Ling pays his respects to Senior Gong."
"Tsk, aren't you taking advantage of us on purpose? I remember that you used to call him great-grandfather, just like us. Now you've grown up and become clever, haven't you? "
Gong Wu put his arm around Cai Ling's shoulder and teased him to help him out.
However, Cai Ling became more nervous and blushed, which made Lin Mengya a little worried. She was afraid that this guy would explode because of the blood on his head.
"Well, well, Cai Ling, call him great-grandfather like us from now on. This is his territory. Be careful. Don't think that no one can control you. "
Lin Mengya glared at Cai Ling and helped him out.
Cai Ling gave her a grateful smile and nodded silently.
They went up to the second floor, where they were at the best and most spacious place in the whole Crystal Restaurant.
According to Gong Wu, this place was generally not open to the public.
"Great-grandfather, big brother, didn't you say that you couldn't leave the family and wouldn't come?"
Naturally, she was the focus of the group.
But Lin Mengya was more curious about the arrival of her great-grandfather and Gong Bin.
"Speaking of which, this is all thanks to your previous efforts." Looking at her great-grandfather's sigh and smile, she didn't understand why.
"Didn't you arrange a lot of things for me and Third Brother before you left? We did as you said and found a capable person to be in charge of every step. He didn't expect things to go so smoothly. Later, Third Brother and I perfected it. Now, even if we're not there, there won't be any trouble. "
In fact, she didn't say much. She just told them about the rules of using people.
In the past, the chaos in the Gong family, in addition to external suppression, also stemmed from the unreasonable distribution of internal personnel.
Now, if these problems did not bother them, at least the Gong family would not be like before, just a plate of loose sand.
"That's good. I was thinking of letting everyone celebrate the New Year in Dragon City. Cai Ling, come with us. Then we'll invite the Lian family. "
Cai Ling smiled and didn't say anything.
However, there was some anticipation in his eyes. Thinking about it, he must have missed the liveliness after living alone for so many years.
"Your fifth brother wrote to me about the Lian family. Ya 'er, you handled it well. "
Gong Qianfeng was not stingy with his compliments. This girl was a wonderful person, especially when it came to this kind of problem. She was more clear-headed than they were.
"It's not that I handled it well. Whether it's the Lian family or Cai Ling, the Gong family used to have a good foundation. If great-grandfather and the elders weren't generous, how could they be friends with us, the younger generation? "
She understood these things very well.
In fact, the Gong family had a good foundation. In the past, many of the Gong family's ways of doing things were praised by many people.
Sometimes, people's hearts were won in this way.
Therefore, she knew better than anyone else that she could stand firm here because of the Gong family's free support.
Although the relationship between them complemented each other.
However, entrusting the entire family to her and letting her make any decisions without any regrets was not something an ordinary person could do.
She understood the Gong family's sincerity to her.
"Girl, you're really …"
Seeing the tears in her great-grandfather's eyes, Lin Mengya knew that she couldn't continue to be emotional.
"Now it's the best thing for us to be reunited. I can't make great-grandfather cry. You sit down first. I'll go out and have a look. It's time to serve the dishes. "
Cai Ling followed her out. After a while, a large table of wine and dishes was served.
The whole family sat around the table, happy and harmonious.
After eating and drinking, Lin Mengya directly invited Cai Ling to go back to the Gong family.
However, Cai Ling had tactfully declined.
However, he also said that he would come back tomorrow to send some necessary New Year goods.
He must have agreed to her invitation and was ready to celebrate the New Year with the Gong family.
"Come, greet all the uncles."
Because of the long journey and the cold weather, Moyan and the other children were left at home.
It was said that the child was amazing now. He was the most beloved one in the whole family.
That boy was also having so much fun every day that he had almost forgotten about her, his aunt, at the back of his mind.
After taking the little thing out and telling them about the little guy's background, the people of the Gong family didn't say anything.
However, when the child saw them, he didn't feel strange. Instead, he bowed to them according to her instructions, which made these uncles have a good impression of him.
"Come here, let me see you."
Gong Bin waved to the child. The little thing glanced at her and walked over after getting her consent.
Her great-grandfather was used to living with Moyan and the others, so he liked children a little more.
After touching the child's head, he took out a piece of candy from his pocket and gave it to him.
"Take it. When I was at home, those little guys asked for candy every day. I'm used to it. Ya 'er, do you still want to raise this child at home? "
There was no shortage of food for this little boy at home.
However, the child's parents were still alive, and if Princess Chonghua knew the news, she might take the opportunity to make things difficult for them.
They couldn't leave him to die, but how to save him and how to save him still needed to be discussed.
The little thing took the candy and came back to her side.
He stood quietly by her legs, with a faint smile on his yellow and white face.
"No matter what, I have to save this child. Since I can meet him, it's fate between us. Moreover, it's not impossible to reconcile with Chonghua. But no matter what the final result is, I will never let them bully this child again. "
Thinking that he got her promise, the little thing suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
He pulled the corner of her clothes, and when she looked at him, he handed out the candy in his hand.
Lin Mengya accepted it with a smile, peeled it off, and stuffed it into the little thing's mouth.
The sweet candy made the little thing smile and narrow his eyes.
"You're right. Our Gong family has always taken pity on the old and the weak. You didn't see this child when he first came here. There's no good place on his body. He's no better than a stray dog on the roadside. If we send him back, I don't know what will happen to him! "
Gong Wu hurriedly stood up and spoke for her.
Gong Bin looked at his brother and sighed.
"Look at you two. You've learned bad things in such a short time. What kind of person is great-grandfather? Can't he bear a little boy? "
This time, it was Gong Qianfeng's turn to be a little embarrassed.
