"Has great-grandfather fallen asleep?"
After a busy day, she immediately went to her great-grandfather's yard as soon as she got home.
The light was still on in the room, but she deliberately asked the old servant who guarded the door.
"What a silly girl. Why are you still pretending to ask? Come in if you want to."
Her great-grandfather's laughter came from inside the door.
Lin Mengya smiled slyly, and then gave some silver to the old servant who guarded the door.
These people were used to serving her great-grandfather. They could not do other things, but they could do the work of guarding the door and the yard.
Compared with those young people who had been freed from slavery, they just wanted to have enough food and clothing to live the rest of their lives.
Lin Mengya lifted the door curtain and walked in with a sweet smile.
At this time, her great-grandfather was sitting at the desk, reading something.
Seeing her coming in, he put down the book.
"Great-grandfather, I heard that there is a dessert master in the city. His hands are really good. I bought some cold cakes. You can eat them with hot tea. Don't be greedy. "
Great-grandfather was used to her filial piety.
Speaking of which, among the five men in the family, none of them could be half as considerate as this girl.
Whether it was medicinal cuisine or snacks, they were all well prepared. She not only considered his taste, but also took care of his health.
During this period of time, no matter how busy she was, she would always send him some strange things to please him.
Therefore, Gong Qianfeng always indulged this precious girl.
To some extent, he was even more considerate than her five brothers.
"Well, you're also considerate. Did the things in the school bother you? "
She furrowed her brows, but quickly shook her head.
"It's okay. Third brother is very powerful. With him, I don't have to worry so much. Although some problems are difficult to solve for a while, I believe there will always be a way. "
Gong Qianfeng took a bite of the cake, only feeling that it was soft and smooth, with a sweet taste. It was indeed the most in line with his taste.
For this cake, he had to solve the trouble of his great-granddaughter.
"That's good. But if you encounter any trouble that is difficult to solve, don't forget that the whole Gong family is behind you. If anything happens, don't shoulder it alone. "
For a moment, Lin Mengya thought that she had been seen through.
She looked at her great-grandfather in surprise, but he still had that kind look on his face.
No matter how hard she looked, she couldn't see any other emotions.
It seemed like she was overthinking things.
Nodding, Lin Mengya was thinking about what to say.
She was just like that.
When deceiving the enemy, he wouldn't even blink when he told the lie.
But in front of her own family, she couldn't bring herself to say it.
Why not? Another day?
After hesitating for a moment, she decided to bite the bullet and speak.
"Great-grandfather, over the past few days, there have been many people celebrating the establishment of our academy. Big Brother and I discussed that since everyone is here, we should have a good time. "
His great-grandfather nodded in agreement.
"There's also the Recognition Ceremony. Big Brother said that everyone is here for the academy. If we do it all at once, it would be too undignified. Why don't we invite a few aristocratic families that are on good terms with our family? It will be grand and not too abrupt. What do you think? "
Zeng Zu hesitated for a moment, but the identity of Su Mei would disappear one day.
They had even thought of a way out.
At that time, as long as they said that Su Mei would marry far away, everything would be solved.
Therefore, Great Grandfather felt that the request she made now was acceptable.
"Well, I just want to make things convenient for you. You can do whatever you want. "
"Thank you, great-grandfather. I think this is also a good opportunity to connect with old relationships. Needless to say, the An family is not benevolent, so don't blame us for being unjust. But if we don't contact any of the old relationships of the Gong family, I'm afraid that others will think that we are snobbish and ungrateful. "
Her words touched the bottom of her great-grandfather's heart.
When people get old, they are nostalgic.
It's time to sort out those old relationships of the past.
After all, not everyone was like the An family, who wanted to take advantage of them when they were down and out.
"Hmm, you're really thoughtful. It's decided then."
Seeing that her great-grandfather agreed so easily, Lin Mengya was overjoyed.
But the next thing was the highlight.
"Since you agree, I'll do it with big brother. Although big brother has been in charge of the family for many years, he is a junior after all. If there is any special relationship between our family and other families, big brother may not know it clearly. "
She secretly observed her great-grandfather's expression and tried to sound him out.
"Why don't you think about it for us, in case we miss someone and offend someone without knowing it?"
As soon as she finished speaking, her heart was in suspense.
If they were to talk about old relationships, the old matters between the Bai family and the Gong family could not be avoided.
So she came here today to see her great-grandfather's reaction.
Zeng Zu pinched another piece of cake, looked thoughtful, and did not agree immediately.
"Is there anything inconvenient, great-grandfather? If so, forget it. "
"Well, there's nothing inconvenient about it. It's just that I'm old now and have a bad memory. If I remember wrongly, don't blame me. "
"How can we blame you, great-grandfather? In fact, we are also a little helpless about this matter. After all, among the older generation of the Gong family, only you have this experience and ability. Look at the elders of those branches. They either have crooked mouths and eyes and can't say a complete sentence, or they talk incoherently. Our great-grandfather is more powerful. He is not only knowledgeable, but also clear-minded. I'm not familiar with young people at all. "
With such a bowl of bewitching soup, her great-grandfather had long been coaxed and did not know what was going on.
"Girl, you are the best at coaxing people."
Great-grandfather gently knocked on her forehead. The smile on his face was still filled with love for her.
Lin Mengya smiled embarrassedly, and she still felt a little sorry for her great-grandfather.
But she swore that if Old Master Bai asked her great-grandfather to apologize in person, as long as he dared to make things difficult for her great-grandfather, no matter what terrible things he had in his hands, she would immediately kill him and let him know how powerful she was!
"Let me think about it. By the way, Uncle Lian, go to the warehouse and bring all the gift accounts from decades ago."
"Yes."
Seeing that her great-grandfather agreed and began to sort it out, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Next, it would depend on whether her great-grandfather would mention the Bai family.
If her great-grandfather took the initiative to mention the Bai family, it meant that there was still a chance.
At least in her great-grandfather's impression, the two families had not reached the point where they could not contact each other.
But if her great-grandfather did not mention it, she could not persuade him even if she wanted to.
She could not directly tell her great-grandfather that the old man of the Bai family had said that as long as he bowed to them, he would be their teacher.
Her great-grandfather also had his own pride, which had not been damaged by years of adversity.
Now, how could she bear to let her great-grandfather bow down because of this matter?
For many things, she had prepared for the worst.
She did not believe that the old man of the Bai family could really cover the sky with one hand.
She did not urge her great-grandfather. On the contrary, she hoped that she could give her great-grandfather enough time.
After all, if the Gong family wanted to jump back to the top of the top ten families, the support of old allies was indispensable.
Moreover, there was a new wave in the school.
It was all because of Mr. Liang's three family members.
The two in-laws of the Liang family were both reasonable people. When they knew that Mr. Liang had fallen ill, they specially told their daughter-in-law to take good care of him and go back only when he got better.
Therefore, there were many more people in the school.
But trouble also came one after another.
The first problem was that they did not have enough rooms to live in.
Originally, Mr. Liang's courtyard was very spacious. Because Mr. Liang did not like to be served, other than a little servant who took care of his food and daily life, there were only two or three servants who did rough work.
Although Liang Yue was a girl, due to Mister Liang's discipline, she only had one or two more personal maids by her side than Mister Liang, that was all.
But this time, it was different. The Liang family, the mother and the daughter, plus the servants who served them, had more than a dozen people.
Now, the small courtyard seemed to be stretched.
But her third brother could not drive them out. After all, Mr. Liang still needed to recuperate, and these women also needed to be taken care of nearby.
She did not know how her third brother dealt with it, but when the matter reached her, her third brother sent someone to invite her to his office for a discussion.
"Third Brother can make any arrangements. Why do you want me to go?"
She was busy with other things. When she saw her third brother's personal servant, she asked in confusion.
"I don't know. Mr. Su Mei, please come with me."
Apart from a few people in the Gong family who knew her identity, the others treated her as an honored guest of the eldest daughter of the Gong family, so they treated her with great respect.
"Alright."
She got up and took it as a stretch, then went for a walk.
But when she arrived at her third brother's study, she saw Mrs. Liang and the three daughters of the Liang family were all there.
Moreover, although her third brother looked normal, she had a feeling that he was not very happy.
"Su Mei greets the dean."
"Mm. Have a seat."
There was a gentle smile on Third Brother's face.
Although he was easy-going and rarely spoke harshly, anyone with a discerning eye could see that he treated Su Mei differently.
All the women present understood this point.
Therefore, some of them were jealous, while others were full of doubts.
"Mr. Su Mei, I asked you to come here today because I have something to ask you."
She nodded, and the doubts in her heart deepened.
But her third brother's tone was light, and it was obvious that he did not take this matter to heart.
"Just now, I heard from Mrs. Liang that you want to let them stay in the Falling Moon House. Is that true?"
Lin Mengya raised her eyebrows. That was not true.
But before she could open her mouth to deny it, she heard Madam Liang speak politely.
