"Just say whatever comes to mind. At this point, why are you still hesitating!"
Mrs. Liu was so angry that she yelled at her mother-in-law, and the man immediately lowered his head, with a slight hint of fear in his tone.
"Madam, do you still remember that five months ago, an embroiderer came to our house to sew winter clothes for the young lady?"
Mrs. Liu nodded, that was indeed the case.
"The embroiderer has a brother named Zilang. I have met him several times. He is very handsome, and he talks well and can make people happy. He often comes to pick up the embroiderer. The lady sees that his sister's skills are outstanding, and she also I have rewarded them several times. Maybe it was... that time, the seeds of disaster were planted."
The more the mother-in-law talked, the lower her head sank.
However, Mrs. Liu gritted her teeth with hatred and wanted to rush out immediately to skin and cramp the guy who ruined her daughter's innocence.
"Jiao'er is so confused! That Xiu Niang's brother must be a scumbag. She, how could she be so... ugh..."
Lin Mengya chose to watch everything with cold eyes.
Isn't it possible that today's results are possible because of her usual pampering
"Miss Gong, what do you think we, mother and daughter, should do now?"
I was really anxious, otherwise, how could the arrogant Mrs. Liu beg for herself
Lin Mengya sat at the table very calmly, thinking for a while before speaking.
"Mrs. Liu, do you really want to avenge your daughter?"
"What do you mean? Didn't you say you could help us?"
"Of course I can help you, but unfortunately, Mrs. Liu, when we dealt with each other before, it was not very pleasant. I can't let anyone stab me in the back, right?"
For her to look for trouble at this time would almost cost Mrs. Liu half her life.
"You! Even if my daughter did something wrong today, she, she had no choice but to do it! Since you can say you can help us, if you have any requests, just ask."
Lin Mengya sneered in her heart and glanced at Mrs. Liu.
"Madam, although we can't be called friends, we can't be called enemies either. You'd better find out why Miss Liu chose my brother. Also, Miss Liu didn't mean to kill my brother. , but where did she, a young lady from a wealthy family, come up with such vicious ideas? Mrs. Liu, I would like to advise you to ask clearly first, and then come and talk to me, lest you become the knife that kills people. I know it. Miss Liu should be fine these days. She is just cultivating herself. I will leave first."
She stood up and left with the others. Just as Mrs. Liu was about to stop her, she stopped.
"Madam, should we just let them go like this?"
The mother-in-law was nearby and asked in a low voice.
"What else can I do if I don't leave? She's right, this matter is indeed fishy. You look at Jiao'er so hard, I'll go see the master."
"yes."
After coming out of Liu Mansion, Lin Mengya had Gong Wu transported to the carriage.
It was freezing cold and the wind was bone-chilling.
Although the injury was not serious, it was not big or small, and it made Gong Wu suffer a lot.
"Miss, will the fifth young master be okay?"
In the house, Jun'er was worried.
In the past few days, Gong Ping was accused of taking care of the fifth young master. When he came back every day, his face was tense, which made her worried.
"It's okay. It's okay to let him suffer a little, so that he won't rely on his martial arts skills and act as if no one can hurt him."
Lin Mengya was sitting in the small flower hall drinking tea. No one knew that the medicine she asked Bai Su to give Gong Wu was the holy healing medicine that her teacher Bai Lirui personally researched.
In less than half a month, this guy will be alive and kicking again.
It is also for Gong Wu's good that he is allowed to remain ill now.
Getting better too quickly will always arouse suspicion.
"Damn it, it's snowing again! Miss, there is someone outside the door asking to see you."
In the palace of the Gong family, the manager responsible for welcoming and delivering guests was named Gong Rong.
He is an old man of the Gong family. He has been responsible for all matters in Longdu House since Gong Wu and his friends were young.
Now we have a good relationship with Lin Mengya, and we often talk and laugh.
"Who is it, Uncle Rong? Who would look for a young lady in such a cold weather?"
Jun'er pulled up the curtain and let the person in.
"Back to the eldest lady, she is the second young master of the Lian family."
"Oh? Invite him in, Uncle Rong. Have you found the craftsman I asked you to find for me a few days ago?"
Gong Rong nodded. Although this job was not easy to do, he still fulfilled his mission.
"Okay, then it's time to work. It's cold, so if you have anything to do, just ask the young people to report it."
Uncle Rong smiled and stepped back. Not long after, Lian Xing ran up to her happily.
"Sister Gong, who is as beautiful as a fairy, how did you do it? Tell me about it and let me learn a few tricks!"
Even the young master came up with a barrage of sweet words.
Lin Mengya glanced at him and slowly asked someone to bring him a cup of hot tea.
Seeing the guy's overflowing curiosity, Lin Mengya was very calm.
Even the stars didn't show up. After taking a sip of tea to ward off the cold, he immediately said with joy.
"You didn't expect that Lu Ying would never give me a good look. Every time he saw my brother, he would try to hurt me overtly or covertly, but I couldn't avoid it. But I didn't expect the prescription my sister gave me. Son, he was so excited that he praised me in front of my brother! Alas, if I had had such good skills, I would have been scolded less!"
She has also sent people out to inquire in the past few days. Lu Ying loves soldiers as much as his son. The prescription for frostbite medicine she gave is simple and effective. It is the most suitable for the military camp.
Don't underestimate an inconspicuous little recipe, it was improved by the teacher and her using the recipe on the Qingzheng score.
Naturally, ordinary prescriptions are incomparable, so it's no wonder Lu Ying has changed his mind about Lian Xing.
"So, this is how you came to thank me?"
Lin Mengya's gaze deliberately passed over Lian Xingkongkong's hands.
The latter slapped his head suddenly and took out a small brocade box from his arms.
"Look at me, I was so happy that I forgot about it! This little thing is a little bit of my heart. From now on, whenever anything happens, I, Lianxing, will definitely help me."
The brocade box was taken over by Jun'er, and Lin Mengya opened it and saw that it was a small jade-carved ladybug.
And the tentacles are warm, which is a bit better than a hand stove, and a bit more elegant.
"Thank you very much."
Even though it is such a big gadget, it is extremely valuable.
It's hard for Lian Xing to choose such a gift for her.
"Sister Gong, I have followed your instructions. What should we do next?"
Lian Xing was so affectionate, as if he regarded her as one of his own.
After all, she borrowed Lian Xing's hand to help her with this matter.
What's more, she accepted gifts from others.
"Although frostbite in military camps can be curbed now, in the long run, the number of people with frostbite will only increase and will not be curbed. The only way is to change their current living environment."
Lian Xing sighed, he didn't know.
But the position of the Imperial Guard was really too embarrassing.
If the higher-ups hadn't looked at her brother's face, even the military pay would have been withheld.
The Ministry of War will definitely not allocate such a large sum of money to repair the barracks.
Last year, his brother almost broke his leg because of this. Nowadays, it is not the same as before.
"Oh, if only things were that simple. If the Ministry of War doesn't give money, the emperor won't give money. Even if we can afford it, but... it's not the same thing after all. This, but Raise troops for the emperor!"
Lin Mengya could hear the helplessness in Lian Xing's tone.
She smiled and said softly.
"You guys are guarding the treasure without knowing it. There is already a ready-made method. You have to abandon the near and seek the far away. Who can blame you?"
Lian Xing looked at her doubtfully, not understanding what she meant.
"I heard that the Far North is covered with ice and snow all year round. The people there are not good at resting in brick and tile houses, but they specialize in making houses made of snow blocks. The wind is biting outside, but it is as warm as spring inside. You said , Isn’t God miraculous?”
Lian Xing's eyes widened in disbelief.
"How is this possible? If the house was covered with ice and snow, that person would freeze to death inside?"
"It's rare to see something strange. You, read more books when you have nothing to do. There is beauty in the book, and there is a house of gold in the book. Ignorance is not terrible, but it is your own fault if you come out to embarrass yourself."
After being insulted by her, Lian Xing could only smile bitterly.
But this matter was really unbelievable. He had never even heard of it, let alone seen it.
"If snow can really build a house, then the soldiers of the Imperial Guard will no longer have to suffer from the cold. Sister Gong, do you really know that there are strange people like this?"
Lin Mengya looked outside. At this moment, the craftsman Uncle Rong hired for her had arrived.
"Of course, you will take this craftsman to the military camp tomorrow. Follow his instructions and build a snow house for the military camp. If the effect is OK, the man will continue to stay there, and I will pay the wages. If not, he will stay there. If so, it won’t be too late for you to send the person back to me.”
Lian Xing was dubious. After turning his eyes on Gong Ya's face a few times, he suddenly said with a smile.
"Sister Gong is still interesting, that's all. The worst thing you can do is get a beating. Don't worry, sister Gong, I will definitely bring you back intact!"
Lin Mengya lowered her head and took a sip of tea.
Alas, it's such a pity that I couldn't witness the moment when the igloo was built, and the jaws of those guys who had never seen the world dropped in shock.
That's all, people can't be too happy, otherwise they will suffer retribution.
Watching Lian Xing take the people away, the sky outside gradually darkened again. Lin Mengya, who was drowsy due to the warmth of the stove, walked back to her room along the flower hall.
On such a snowy day, it is more comfortable to lie under the quilt warmly.
Even though you are busy, you should still take some time off.
The wind and snow continued for another two days, and then gradually stopped.
The snow on all the main streets in Longdu is still cleared by slaves, turned into snow, and then transported out of the city.
It’s hard to walk after snow, but it can’t stop those who are thoughtful.
