"In your opinion, how should we train them?"
Lin Mengya thought for a while and said.
"Only by sending generals to the border can they develop strategies and tactics through slaughter. The defense of the capital region is important, but more importantly, it requires scheming. As for the wise general, he can be a hidden pawn and sneak into the staff of the other mansion. He can not only understand the movements of others, but also gain experience. It's killing two birds with one stone. "
Long Tianhao's heart moved. He had thought about all these and had already started to plan.
However, he did not expect that the person who understood him the most was Lin Mengya!
After thinking for a while, Long Tianhao realized that he had not asked Lin Mengya about her safety during the night when he was kidnapped.
"Are you … tired?" Long Tianhao felt a little strange after saying that.
He had never comforted anyone in his life, let alone a woman.
Suddenly, he was a little clumsy.
"I'm fine. If you're tired, please have a rest!"
Lin Mengya said with a little anger. She had been in danger for a night, but he did not comfort her at all.
She was regarded as a spy, otherwise, she would not have tricked Baili Wuchen.
"I … didn't mean that. Stay and have lunch with me. "
It was rare for him to invite her.
Lin Mengya nodded. Anyway, she was starving.
They went out of the secret room and went to the study.
The smell of the rice was very tempting today.
Lin Mengya sat at the table and looked at the sweet and fragrant squirrel mandarin fish, the light and delicious bamboo shoot mushroom soup, and four or five exquisite dishes. She suddenly felt hungry.
"No wonder the prince asked the small kitchen to prepare so many dishes. It turns out that the princess also wants to have lunch here."
Steward Deng joked, but it made Lin Mengya's heart slightly beat faster.
Although she had a deep understanding of Long Tianhao's cold and aloof character, this small act of warmth was especially rare.
Lin Mengya ate happily. It turned out that everything was delicious when she was hungry.
"Your Highness, I have something to discuss with you."
Lin Mengya bit the chopsticks and tried to show an absolutely innocent look.
Long Tianhao looked at her and raised his eyebrows slightly. Every time Lin Mengya showed this expression, it was definitely not a good thing.
"Say it, what else do you want?"
Lin Mengya smiled and said seriously.
"Should I make arrangements for the old maids and maids I brought back from the broker house?" Lin Mengya pretended to mention it casually. In fact, she felt that the courtyard was a little too empty with only a few of them living in it.
"You're the one who brought him back. You can make the arrangements."
Long Tianhao did not want to intervene in the affairs of the inner chamber.
Since Lin Mengya and her mother were in charge of Prince Yu's Mansion, they could do whatever they wanted.
"Alright, thank you, Your Highness. I'm full, please enjoy your meal."
Lin Mengya had always been a very practical person. After getting Long Tianhao's permission, she put down the bowl and ran out.
Only Long Tianhao was left at the table. For some reason, the same words did not taste as before.
"Miss, do you really want to choose another maid? Is there something wrong with Baizhi? You're not satisfied with it? "
In the courtyard, the old maids and maids who were brought back that day stood in two rows, waiting for the inspection of the hostess.
"That's not it. I just feel that our house is too cold and cheerless. Besides, you have to take care of Xiaoyu and me alone. What if you're tired? "
She patted the maid's hand. Before she said anything, she began to be jealous.
How could the people in her courtyard be so fragile?
"Oh, okay. But in the future, you still need me to take care of your daily life! "
Baizhi was a child after all, so it was okay to coax her with a few words.
The old maids and maids in the courtyard stood obediently.
Under the scorching sun, they were sweating profusely after standing for less than an hour.
Lin Mengya sat at the door and squinted at the decreasing old maids and maids.
Only the last ones who stayed could become the people in her courtyard. She also wanted to take this opportunity to carefully observe the characters of these people.
Not those who stayed by her side could become her confidants.
Gradually, more than 30 old maids and maids were left with only a dozen or so.
Lin Mengya whispered a few words and asked Aunt Jinyue to go out to lecture them.
"Those who just left, each of them will be rewarded with three taels of silver, a piece of coarse cloth, and two kilograms of fresh meat as their settlement allowance. Go to the accountant to get them. The rest, come to the room. The master wants to ask you. "
Unexpectedly, those who were eliminated could also get such a reward.
Immediately, they went to get the reward happily.
The remaining dozen people were not disappointed at all. Instead, they wanted to become the people in Lin Mengya's room even more.
More than a dozen people came in one after another. Lin Mengya sat behind the screen and couldn't see her face.
"You also know that the Prince's Mansion is not an ordinary family. My Liuxin Courtyard has more rules and more troubles. Tell me, what skills do you have? "
They only felt that the voice of the master was very young.
That day in the broker house, they only saw her in a hurry. They only knew that she was as beautiful as a fairy, but they didn't dare to look at her.
"The master asked you to reply. According to the rules, you should reply to the master's words. Then it won't be counted as a failure. Since you are all newcomers, I won't consider you rude today. "
Although Aunt Jinyue was young, she had her own rules in the palace.
Seeing that, those old maids and maids didn't dare to look up, and they obediently reported their families.
In fact, it was nothing more than some crafts such as knitting, needlework, cooking and tailoring.
After listening to them, Lin Mengya asked Jinyue to take them to take the exam.
After tossing around for the whole afternoon, Jinyue took two beautiful maids to greet her at dinner.
"Greetings, Your Highness. These two maids are called Xiaowan and Xiaoning. I think they are neat and have good looks, so I brought them here to show them to you. "
Lin Mengya looked at the two maids. The one named Xiaowan had delicate features and seemed to be a calm and quiet person.
The one named Xiaoning had a pretty face and raised her red phoenix eyes, showing her shrewdness.
She was a character.
Her yard couldn't be a group of obedient little sheep. She had to have a powerful one to avoid being bullied in the future.
"Greetings, Your Highness."
It was the first time for the two girls to enter such a high courtyard, so they were naturally a little nervous.
Kneeling on the ground, they could only see a pair of small feet wearing golden embroidered shoes with phoenix patterns.
Sneaking a peek, he saw a small face with a gentle smile on it.
Heavens, why did the Princess Consort look younger than them?
"Get up, I don't have so many rules. As long as you are loyal and obedient in the future, I won't treat you badly. "
There was a smile on her pretty face. Looking at their trembling appearance, she knew that Aunt Jinyue must have given her a lot of advice.
Then she had to be the good person.
"Yes, Master."
They stood quietly and obediently in front of Lin Mengya, letting her look them up and down carefully.
"From now on, Xiaowan will change her name to Baiji, and Xiaoning to Baishao. You will be the first-class maids and be taught by Aunt Jinyue."
"Yes, Master. Thank you for the names."
The two little girls were smiling from the corners of their brows and the corners of their eyes.
Becoming a first-class maid in the Liuxin Courtyard was a blessing that she had accumulated in her previous life.
When Aunt Jinyue was about to take the maids out, Steward Deng hurried to the Liuxin Courtyard.
"Greetings, Your Highness. Your Highness, the Empress asked someone to bring you a child-giving Guanyin statue from the palace."
The Empress?
That dignified, dignified, yet scheming face appeared in her mind.
Why would she give her a Guanyin statue without any reason?
"Okay, Jinyue, Baizhi, and I will go to welcome the Empress."
She nodded and followed Steward Deng out of the gate of the Liuxin Courtyard.
No matter whether it was a conspiracy or not, the Empress couldn't be offended easily.
"Your Highness, you are welcome. I am ordered by the Empress to bring you a child-giving Guanyin statue."
The eunuch said in a neutral voice. Lin Mengya immediately asked Baizhi to take the mahogany box with the Guanyin statue.
"Thank you, eunuch. It's so late. Why did you come in person?"
The eunuch naturally knew that his master didn't get along well with the masters of the Prince's Mansion.
"Your Highness, you'd better open it first so that I can go back and report."
Lin Mengya only felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't tell it.
Well, if there was something wrong with the Guanyin statue, she could point it out on the spot.
As soon as the mahogany box was opened, there was a smell of sandalwood, which made people calm down.
Although it was a child-giving Guanyin statue, it was lifelike. It was not an ordinary one.
"Your Highness, you have seen it. I can go back and report. I am leaving."
The eunuch immediately left in a hurry. He was afraid that he would be eaten alive if he stayed.
"Master, what should we do with this Buddha statue?" The Empress had tried to kill the Empress many times in the imperial harem, but she was saved in the end.
Therefore, Jinyue didn't have a good impression of the merciful but cruel person.
"Put it in my room first. I will find an expert to have a look at it tomorrow. If there is nothing wrong, I will put it in a room."
Lin Mengya looked at the mahogany box. Why did she feel that something was wrong?
"You should open your eyes. This is the child-giving Guanyin statue given by the Empress!"
When Baizhi returned to the courtyard, she showed the mahogany box in her hands to Baiji and Baishao.
Jinyue was busy going back to the Art Courtyard to report to Concubine De, so the two maids were left in the Liuxin Courtyard.
None of the three of them dared to touch Guanyin, so they could only stick their heads together and comment on Guanyin.
"It is indeed a toy from the imperial palace. It is so exquisite!"
