Just after dark, Gong Si sent the baby to her.
The little guy was tired from playing during the day, and now he was sleeping like a log.
Lin Mengya could tell that Gong Si had something to say to her after she handed the baby to Baisu and brought him into the room.
"About him, have you thought it through?"
Lin Mengya was stunned for a while before she realized it.
She nodded, although she was a little surprised about Long Tianhao.
Since it was something that he had already arranged, he would definitely have a way to not attract the attention of anyone with ulterior motives.
Sometimes, blindly avoiding it would attract more attention.
For the mastermind, it was more difficult to distinguish between the truth and the falsehood.
"Alas, if so, I won't persuade you. But you have to be careful and don't let others know the details. "
After all, Gong Si still wanted her to be happy.
Lin Mengya smiled gratefully and suddenly thought of something.
"I saw Ellen on the street today. Did your men see her?"
Gong Si shook his head. Every day, his men would come to report the situation.
"My men said that there were several guests from big families in Ellen's shop today. She was too busy to greet them. How could she have time to go out?"
"Who are the guests from big families?"
She was just asking casually. Fortunately, the people sent by Gong Si were very clever, and they all found out.
"There are two ladies from the Qi family in Lingdong, the second lady from the Wang family in Suizhou, the eldest lady from the Su family in Huizhou, and several ladies from the Yuan family in Qiongzhou."
"Why are they all ladies from big families?"
"I'm not sure, but I heard that Ink Fragrance Pavilion's business is very good at this time of year. And because she has a good relationship with the noble ladies in Dragon City, and they are all women, she is especially favored by these ladies. "
She had heard about this before.
"But paper, ink, brushes, and inkstones are sold everywhere. Why do they have to buy from her?"
"Well, I'm not sure. I only know that there are always many ladies from big families who come to Ink Fragrance Pavilion to buy things around the New Year. "
After sending Gong Si away, Lin Mengya was lost in thought.
In the end, how did Irene escape their surveillance, and what did she do in the Lusheng Courtyard?
The next day, she went to visit those famous scholars one by one according to the plan she had made yesterday.
Although the people of Wei Nation revered martial prowess, they did not put much emphasis on literature.
Most of the famous people came from aristocratic families, and only a small portion came from commoners.
However, compared to the famous scholars of the aristocratic families, the commoners who were famous throughout the world had to put in more effort.
Lin Mengya was mainly looking for this group of people.
Not only did they have genuine talent, but they were also ostracized by others because of their background.
These people were depressed, and most of them could only pass their days in misery.
And she wanted to give such a person a chance to display his talents.
However, these people were not easy to invite, so she decided to visit them first. At least let them know who she was, and then slowly let them feel her sincerity.
Most of these people lived on the streets to the north of Dragon Capital. Although it wasn't a luxurious place, and there were even a lot of houses that looked a little run-down, they looked like they would collapse at any moment.
But here, it was quiet and elegant.
People in the city called these streets "Gentleman's Alley".
He was referring to the fact that any random person here could be a knowledgeable gentleman.
"Master, who should we start with?"
Baisu looked at the list in her hand. The names and places had been marked, and there were many gifts in the carriage behind them.
Lin Mengya thought for a while and decided to start with a gentleman named Qi Yue.
She heard that Qi Yue's background was actually inextricably linked to the Qi family.
She didn't know what had happened to make Qi Yue cut off contact with the Qi family.
But this Qi Yue was a person with real ability and great knowledge.
Following the address, they came to the front of a house that looked a little old.
Just when they were about to knock on the door, they heard the sound of reading inside.
"Don't disturb them. Let's wait for a while."
She and Baisu waited at the door with the gifts in their arms.
The sound of reading inside was very childish, and they should be a group of children.
What they were reciting should be an introductory reading material similar to the rules of the Thousand Character Classic in this country.
The teacher was teaching seriously, and the children were also learning seriously.
Although Lin Mengya was familiar with these things, it was the first time for her to listen to them in detail.
This teacher was different from others. He was lively and interesting, and he explained the profound in simple terms.
It was not like he was simply letting the students remember, but to let the students understand the meaning of these sentences and the allusions.
She couldn't help but listen with great interest.
Baisu, who was standing beside her, felt a little strange when she saw the inexplicable smile on her master's lips.
These were the most basic things, and even she knew them. Why did her master listen to them with such interest?
"Well, let's stop here for today. Go back and copy what you have learned today. Tomorrow is a holiday, and you can hand it in the day after tomorrow. "
The teacher's voice was very gentle, but not too serious. It seemed that he was a good teacher who was loved by others.
The door was suddenly opened, and a little fat boy with a strong face saw them. He immediately took a few steps back and shouted loudly.
"Sir! Sir! The fairy in the painting is at our door! "
With a whoosh, the group of children blocked the door tightly.
Among the children, the oldest was only five or six years old, and the youngest was still wearing open-crotch trousers.
Lin Mengya responded with a gentle smile to those pairs of eyes that were filled with pure curiosity.
"Baisu, go and get some sugar balls and pastries. Little girl, is your teacher Mr. Qi Yueqi? "
She squatted down and asked a little girl with two buns on her head in a pleasant manner.
Although the little girl had never seen this beautiful big sister, she was not afraid of her at all. She just peeped at her with her big black eyes shyly, and then nodded quietly.
"Well, can you take me to see Mr. Qi?"
She reached out and gently touched the little girl's head. The little girl immediately nodded, grabbed her wrist, and led her into the yard.
And Baisu also brought a big box of sugar balls and pastries.
These were all bought by her master on the way here for the little master. Now, they came in handy in advance.
The children immediately surrounded Baisu, and it was very lively.
Lin Mengya found that the little girl was a little lame. Ignoring the dirt on the little girl, she walked into the yard with the child in her arms.
The yard was spacious and clean, but except for a main room and a straw shed, there was nothing else.
There were a few long benches in the middle, probably for the school.
As soon as she entered, she saw a thin young man cleaning the yard.
After putting down the little girl, Lin Mengya asked politely.
"Excuse me, is Mr. Qi Yueqi here?"
The young man turned his head, and a trace of doubt appeared on his handsome face.
Lin Mengya thought that he was here to help Mr. Qi, so she immediately introduced herself.
"My name is Gong Ya, and I'm here to visit Mr. Qi. Is he at home now?"
Qi Yue was only 28 years old, and he was not very old.
Although the young man in front of her was also young, his temperament was not quite like that.
But obviously, sometimes what the eyes saw was not true.
The young man glanced at her indifferently, and waved to the little girl.
The little girl immediately ran to his side, and looked up at him with a smile.
"Go home quickly, lest your mother worry and come here to make a noise."
The young man was much more amiable to the little girl.
The little girl nodded, looked at her timidly, and immediately ran out of the yard.
"Sit down."
The young man said casually, and Lin Mengya didn't think too much about it, and sat down on the shiny bench.
This time, it was the young man who was silent for a moment.
After sweeping all the debris in the yard into a pile, he walked in front of her.
"Tell me, what tricks do you want to play this time?"
His tone surprised Lin Mengya a little helplessly.
But more than that, it was a deep disgust for something.
"Mr. Qi, have you misunderstood something?"
"Misunderstood?" He sneered, and there was a trace of sadness in his voice.
"You've played all kinds of tricks to make me give in, haven't you? Let me tell you, ten years ago, I never gave in, and ten years later, I won't give in! "
After saying that, he seemed to be too emotional, and started panting.
Lin Mengya looked at Qi Yue's slightly pale face, and at this moment, it suddenly turned red. She immediately grabbed his wrist.
Just as she had expected, this person's body was probably suffering from overwork, and he had already suffered from severe strain.
She rubbed a few spots on his back, and the man's violent coughing showed signs of relief.
Qi Yue looked at her again, and there was a hint of doubt in his eyes.
"No matter who you think I am, I still need to reintroduce myself. My name is Gong Ya, and I'm here to visit you on behalf of the Gong family. You're too weak, so it's better not to be so agitated. "
The small misunderstanding just now did not affect Lin Mengya's mood.
Qi Yue, on the other hand, looked at her suspiciously for a while, and then asked tentatively.
"Are you really not sent by the Qi family?"
Lin Mengya shook her head, and was about to continue to explain why she was here, when she heard an extremely arrogant voice coming from outside.
"Bitch! Get out of the way for this Young Master! If you dare to block my way again, I'll get someone to break your bones! "
When Qi Yue heard this voice, there was a hint of disgust in his eyes.
But he also knew that he had really wronged this young lady.
