"That's fine. We can't force him."
Looking through Mr. Bai He's resume, Lin Mengya had a strange feeling.
"Master, the people from Qingwei Club asked if you could pay them a visit if you're free. They have something to discuss with you. "
Lin Mengya raised her head and looked at Baisu. When they reached an agreement, Qingwei Club had asked her to do them a favor.
It seemed that this was what they were talking about.
"Tell them that I won't be free before the New Year. I'll visit them after the first day."
Baisu nodded and left. Lin Mengya continued to read.
She realized that Mr. Bai He's students basically had nothing in common.
In addition to accepting female students, she would also accept some younger male students.
If they had something in common, it would be that they were all from the same family.
Very few of them were from the collateral family.
It was the same for Gu Pan. She and Qi Ranxin were the Prince's daughters. Even though they were not from the same mother, Mr. Bai He still took them in.
Could it be that these people were also from the ancient families?
However, she couldn't let Qingwei Guild continue to investigate this matter for her.
After all, if Gu Pan and Mrs. Lian were not close friends with her, she would not have known about it.
In the end, she decided to write down the list first.
Perhaps in the future, it would be useful in other ways.
After seeing the connection by chance, Lin Mengya asked the people who kept an eye on Ink Fragrance Pavilion to write down the names of those customers.
Unexpectedly, most of these people appeared on the list of students that Mr. Bai He had taught before or was teaching now.
It seemed that this was not a coincidence.
These days, Murong Xi had also sent some people for her, but they were all keeping an eye on Lusheng Courtyard.
Ai Lian went there again, but did not see any trace of Mr. Bai He.
But before the New Year, Mr. Bai He took in students again, and the families he took in happened to be the ones who went to Ink Fragrance Pavilion to buy things a few days ago.
It seemed that Ink Fragrance Pavilion was the place that decided which students Mr. Bai He would take in.
As for why no one had found out about this, it must be because Ai Lian was very popular in Dragon City. Almost all the women from the aristocratic families would visit Ink Fragrance Pavilion.
Sometimes, the more obvious something was, the harder it was to be discovered.
Lin Mengya could not help but think of the medicine hidden in the sachet.
Although she could distinguish the composition of the poison, such a small amount of poison would not cause much harm to the human body.
What kind of secret was hidden in this medicine?
Although many things had happened in the past year, New Year's Eve still came as usual.
The New Year in Dragon City was quite lively.
In addition, there were snow sculptures to liven things up this year. Even though the tragedy on the Winter Solstice had occurred, people still wanted to celebrate the arrival of the New Year.
Lin Mengya had a different feeling in her heart when she saw that everyone in the Gong Family was busy working all day.
This was the first year she had spent in Wei Country, and it was also the third year she had spent here.
"Miss, His Highness Liangyu has arrived!"
The baby didn't come back last night.
Fourth Brother said that it was Murong Xi's idea to keep him for one more night before sending him back to the Gong family for the New Year.
Lin Mengya did not sleep much that night. When she heard Shang 'er's voice, she immediately put on her shoes and ran out.
Her baby, the tiny and soft baby, was smiling and bowing to his great-grandfather, who had come out to greet him.
"Miss Gong."
A middle-aged man who looked like a butler greeted her politely.
"His Highness entered the palace early in the morning. Today is New Year's Eve, and he was afraid that His Highness would be wronged, so he asked Miss Gong to look after him on his behalf."
Lin Mengya suppressed the joy in her heart and nodded gently.
The butler said apologetically, as he sent more gifts in.
"His Highness has said that we shouldn't trouble Miss Gong on New Year's Eve. So, these gifts are a little apologetic. "
Lin Mengya knew that the man was not afraid of troubling her, but felt sorry for not being able to accompany her.
However, this could not be helped. After all, Murong Xi was no longer the Long Tianhao of the past.
"Thank you, sorry to trouble you."
The butler put down the gifts and left. Lin Mengya could not hold back anymore. She carried Ning 'er and quickly returned to her courtyard.
She fiercely kissed his little face a few times. Only when she saw that the little fellow was smiling so widely that his eyebrows could not be seen, did she feel that this was real.
"Mother …"
A clear word came out of Ning 'er's mouth.
Although it was just a small, weak, soft and milky voice, it was enough to make her tears fall like rain.
"My baby …"
Baisu and Shang 'er felt sorry for Ning' er.
"Miss, it's great that our baby can come back. Why are we crying on New Year's Eve? We should be smiling! "
Lin Mengya wiped her tears and agreed with Shang 'er.
"Well, let's go and paste the Spring Festival couplets and the word 'Fu'!"
She excitedly pasted the couplets and the word 'Fu' that her third brother, who was the best at calligraphy, had written a few days ago.
There was no such custom in Wei Country.
However, every household would paste some Spring Festival paintings on their doors.
The bold and powerful characters carried the hope for the New Year.
Even her great-grandfather kept praising her for her creativity when he saw it.
After pasting the Spring Festival couplets, her great-grandfather would lead the family to pay their respects to the ancestors of the Gong family.
Lin Mengya knelt at the front. Looking at the names on the memorial tablets, she sighed with emotion.
If it were not for these female masters of the Gong family, who had taken on great responsibilities with a weak posture and used their conciliatory policies to appease and confuse the wolves outside, the Gong family would have declined a long time ago.
Today, she did not do anything else but to express her respect to these women.
The female master of the Gong family had real power, not just an empty shell.
No matter what, she would continue to pass this tradition on.
From now on, the Gong family would be judged by their talent and ability, regardless of whether they were men or women!
"Miss, that annoying Aunt An is here again."
After the priest finished paying his respects, Lin Mengya heard Shang 'er whispering before she went out.
"What is she doing here?"
Lin Mengya raised her eyebrows. "Hasn't she been more well-behaved these days?"
"She said that she wants to pay her respects to the ancestors and hope that they can forgive her for her past mistakes."
What she said was reasonable.
Lin Mengya turned to look at Gong San.
The latter had obviously heard Shang 'er's words, but he was not very excited.
After thinking for a while, he nodded in agreement.
After all, An Jiarong was once the daughter-in-law of the Gong family.
This time, An Jiarong was obviously not as arrogant as before.
She was wearing a very simple gown, and her hair was neatly coiled up. She only wore a sandalwood hairpin.
She looked like a layman who abstained from eating meat and praying to Buddha.
It was said that after being taught a lesson by Lin Mengya, she had given up on worldly affairs and stayed in her room all day, intending to accompany the old Buddha.
Lin Mengya would wait and see for An Jiarong's change.
No matter what she was up to, at least for now, An Jiarong could not escape from the palm of her hand.
After bowing politely, An Jiarong unexpectedly got up and knelt in front of her great-grandfather.
"Grandfather, in the past, Jia Rong was immature and let down husband's intentions. Grandfather, please forgive Jia Rong."
Gong Qianfeng had a complicated look on his face. At that time, he had watched those children grow up.
When that happened, in addition to feeling sad, he also had some hatred for this granddaughter-in-law.
However, the Gong family was unwilling to trap him with hatred.
"Forget it. Let bygones be bygones. From now on, you should take good care of Third Brother. If there is a suitable person, don't waste your life. "
They were not close, but there was not too much indifference and alienation.
Lin Mengya sneered silently in her heart. This An Jiarong had really learned to be obedient.
She knew that even she had to respect her great-grandfather's opinion.
Moreover, her great-grandfather was very open-minded and would not argue with a woman.
As long as her great-grandfather accepted An Jiarong, it meant that the Gong family had accepted her.
It seemed that this girl was going to upgrade her tactics.
"Yes, Jiarong knows. These are the Buddhist scriptures that Jiarong copied these days. Grandfather, please tell me if I should send them to my husband. For the past few nights, Jia Rong had been dreaming of her husband being shackled and suffering unspeakably. Therefore, Jia Rong feels that this Buddhist scripture can make you feel better. "
An Jiarong lowered her head obediently, and there was a little more sadness in her voice.
Lin Mengya felt that she had really grown up.
A soft knife had cut her great-grandfather's heart into pieces.
"Alas, Third Brother … forget it. You are husband and wife after all. Perhaps Third Bro really did speak to you in your dreams. Since that's the case, I'll have to trouble you to copy more Buddhist scriptures. "
"Yes, Jiarong understands."
After that, An Jiarong left the ancestral hall.
Lin Mengya glanced at her back with a cold smile on her lips.
"Little sister, when did tigers stop eating meat and change to eating grass?"
They walked out of the ancestral hall, but Gong Si slowed down and deliberately stopped in front of her, whispering.
"Tiger? In my opinion, it's just a cat that wants to play tricks. Just wait and see, it won't last long. "
She narrowed her eyes and did not care at all.
"That's true. An Jiarong has been stubborn all her life. Even if she is asked to pretend to be submissive, I'm afraid she won't be able to do it for long."
The two of them looked at each other tacitly. They both knew that this New Year would not be boring.
After comforting the ancestors, the Gong family's rule was to have a very sumptuous reunion lunch.
Today, there was no difference between master and servant, or superior and inferior.
It was just a family gathering together and having a comfortable reunion dinner.
The Gong family, who had found their wives in Dragon City, also brought their wives and children here.
