"It's the palace I showed you a while ago. You'll be able to see the whole thing by night, don't worry."
Lin Mengya just glanced at it and walked away with her people.
Jun'er, on the other hand, looked at the shape of the red cloth thoughtfully, and then trotted quickly to catch up with her.
"Miss, why do I feel something is wrong?"
"Huh? What's wrong?"
Jun'er thought for a while and whispered.
"Why do I feel that the one in our home seems to be much smaller than the one in other people's homes? Miss, are you sure you are right?"
Indeed, in terms of scale, compared to other people's designs, the Gong family's one does appear smaller.
Lin Mengya looked around and then at her own house.
"There are great benefits to big things, and there are wonderful things to small things. Well, you will know it tonight, don't ask."
Jun'er was always obedient, so she had no choice but to nod her head when she heard the words.
"Master, there are indeed people around us."
A few people felt tired after wandering around for a while. Lin Mengya randomly chose a teahouse, found a table by the window, and drank by herself.
Bai Su went out for a while while no one was paying attention. When he came back, he reported to her in a low voice.
"Have you been discovered?"
The latter shook her head. She was very careful and no one would notice.
"That's good, let's wait and see what happens after dark."
She drank all the tea in her hand and strolled around the street. Now almost everyone knew that she, Gong Ya, had come out.
It's just that there aren't many people on the street now, and even if those people want to take action, it's not the best time.
They are all waiting for the right time.
As for Lin Mengya, that's not the case.
Night falls as promised.
The carriages and sedan chairs of each family were parked outside the street.
Although the Emperor told His Highness the Crown Prince that he wanted to enjoy it with the people this time, it was inaccessible to ordinary people.
Everyone has a small, temporarily issued waist tag hanging on their body.
All street corners are guarded by imperial guards, and entry and exit are subject to very strict checks.
Lin Mengya arrived at the place she had agreed with Gong Wu and the others and waited for the arrival of these people.
They just went to Lian's house to pick up Madam, so it probably won't be too late.
This was a crossroads, and there were people setting up stalls on both sides of the road. She, Bai Su and Jun'er were eating hot wontons while looking towards the direction of Lian's house.
After a long time, I finally saw a familiar figure.
"it's here!"
Jun'er stood up and waved at the other party.
Gong Wu ran up to Lin Mengya in three steps and stared at the wontons in her hand with some envy.
"If I had known this, we wouldn't have eaten in Lian Mansion."
Hearing this, Lin Mengya just rolled her eyes at the guy.
"If Aunt Lian hears this, I'm afraid she will be sad. Is it possible that the delicacies of Lian Mansion are not as good as these dried vegetable wontons?"
Upon hearing this, Lian Xing, who was following Gong Wu, immediately showed a dissatisfied expression.
"That's right, I came here just for you. My mother personally cooked her specialties. Huh, big man Cheng, do you think Gong Yu should be punished?"
Among these three people, Cheng Hao is the most reliable.
That man's honest appearance is much better than these two guys.
"Everything is fine, Miss Gong, you've been waiting for a long time, it's cold, don't catch a cold."
Lin Mengya smiled and shook her head when she heard this, and then looked at the fifth brother at home and Lian Xing with disdain.
"See, you should learn what it means to be truly mature, steady, and compassionate. Really, how can I have a brother like you?"
After being cheated by her, Gong Wu and Lian Xing did not dare to show it even if they were unwilling to do so.
Apart from anything else, only Gong Ya is Madam Lian's darling now. Offending her is tantamount to offending Madam Lian.
The two people immediately shut up, but they both used their eyes to condemn Cheng Haolai.
If it weren't for him, maybe they wouldn't have to be said like this by Gong Ya.
Suddenly, the more down-to-earth Cheng Hao became the public enemy within their small group.
However, it was only for a moment.
"There are really more and more people. Let's go find mother first."
Lian Xing stood on tiptoe, looked at the surging crowd and said.
"Well, Uncle Shi and Auntie should be here too, it's not too late for us to go there now."
With the status of the Lian family, the place obtained is naturally the best.
Speaking of which, Lin Mengya also borrowed their light to go to the best place to view the snow sculptures.
The crowd gathered more and more, but fortunately Lin Mengya was protected by this group of people, and everyone stayed close together, so they didn't get separated.
"What's going on with you? There are so many people, what if there is danger?"
As soon as they reached the intersection and were about to breathe a sigh of relief, Lian Sheng appeared in front of several people.
Compared to how he looked in the mansion a few days ago, Liansheng looked more handsome tonight in military uniform, but also more serious.
Now he frowned and looked at Lin Mengya and the others, which made them not dare to make any mistakes.
"Thank you Brother Lian for your concern. We will go find Uncle Shi and Auntie immediately. You and everyone have worked hard tonight."
At the critical moment, Lin Mengya was the one who took the lead.
She walked forward and said gently.
Lian Sheng saw that she was so well-behaved, and since she was a girl, she couldn't treat her like her own pet monkey, always treating her with a cold face.
After his expression softened slightly, he looked at them and said.
"Okay, go quickly, mother should be anxious."
When Lian Xing heard this, he immediately nodded and prepared to run away with his friends.
But unexpectedly, Lian Sheng still called him, and then took out a wooden box wrapped in cloth from the hands of his subordinates.
"This is some food I prepared for my mother. You can send it over for me."
In the night, even though Lian Sheng's tone was not gentle, his look was like a real brother who cared about his younger brother.
Lian Xing was stunned for a moment, then grabbed him.
Put it to your nose and smell it.
"I know, brother! You patrol well, we're leaving first!"
After saying that, he greeted them and ran in without looking back.
"Du Tong, do you want to take a look?"
Behind him, greetings from colleagues came.
There was a flash of worry in Lian Sheng's eyes, but it quickly disappeared.
"No, let's go. You must cheer up tonight. No one can relax even a little bit. Do you understand?"
"yes."
Some people, no matter how much he protects them, have grown up after all.
"I really didn't expect that we actually bumped into Brother Lian. I am Second Young Master Lian. Did you choose me?"
It must be because of their childhood. Except for Lin Mengya, Lian Xing, Gong Wu, and Cheng Hao were all a little afraid of winning streak.
"I'm not! What are you afraid of? Do you still remember what my brother and Gong Er Ge taught you when you were young?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Gong Wu and Cheng Hao's expressions changed.
"Okay, okay, don't mention this."
Gong Wu waved his hand and said weakly.
Lin Mengya became more and more curious. The fifth child of the Gong family, who had always been fearless, was actually afraid like this.
It seems that what happened back then cannot be described in just one word.
"Lian Xing, tell me, what's going on?"
The atmosphere today was already good, and with Lin Mengya's encouragement, Lian Xing immediately felt proud and told what happened when he was a child.
"It's not because my brother and Brother Gong were both martial arts idiots back then. The three of us were still relatively young at that time, so we were often repaired by the two of them. They felt sorry for each other, but we were miserable!"
When they mentioned what happened back then, the faces of the three of them all showed bitterness and hatred.
Lin Mengya found it funny and kept asking questions. After all, they were asked about the embarrassing things they had done when they were young.
A few people were walking and chatting, and Lin Mengya found it extremely refreshing.
After all, the friendship between boys was different from hers.
But there were too many people on the street, and someone accidentally bumped into her.
The man didn't use any force, and Lin Mengya didn't think there was anything wrong.
But Jun'er refused and couldn't help scolding him.
"Hey, what's the matter with you? Didn't you see my young lady?"
"Sorry, sorry, I was blind and bumped into the lady."
The man apologized repeatedly, but Lin Mengya waved her hand to signal Jun'er not to embarrass him again.
"Be careful when you walk in the future. I met my young lady in a good mood today, otherwise you would have been in a bad mood!"
Jun'er was annoyed and glared at the man. The man immediately apologized and ran away.
"Ya'er, are you okay?"
The remaining few people intentionally or unintentionally blocked the sight of the people around them.
Gong Wu took the opportunity to lower his head and asked quietly.
Lin Mengya touched her dress, and then said softly.
"It's nothing important, just something that can track me. It doesn't matter."
In fact, Lin Mengya was on guard anytime and anywhere. When that person bumped into him just now, everyone tensed up.
As long as that person dares to take action, they will be ready to press that person down as soon as possible.
However, the other party did not.
It was just a handful of spices that gave off a special smell in the palm of his hand, and then he took the opportunity to rub it on her body.
This spice actually doesn’t have a strong smell, but it’s particularly difficult to get rid of.
If it was a specially trained dog, it would be easy to follow the scent to find her.
"They are really able to endure it."
Lian Xing sneered at this approach.
Although his father and brother had warned him before that he must be careful tonight and never capsize in the gutter.
But he really didn't notice this little trick.
"Of course, if they start now, the Emperor and His Highness the Crown Prince will be alarmed."
Lin Mengya dusted off the nearest dress. The smell was not unpleasant, at least she could bear it.
This person, if he wants to achieve great things, must learn to be patient.
