Gong Si smiled to himself, but his eyes were very firm.
"The reason why people are used is because they have value. And if the value of being used is gone, then this person will lose the meaning of existence. Even if he is the Emperor, he is actually not Are we using the power of these aristocratic families and ministers to maintain the stability of the throne? I have never thought that being used by others is such a stupid thing. If we gain benefits from it, then use becomes cooperation. If Not only can't you make a profit, but you also have to lose the existing benefits, that's called stupidity."
Lin Mengya was stunned. The fourth brother's idea was really far beyond her imagination.
But if you think about it carefully, isn't this what she wants to express
"From the time you returned home, maybe every decision you made was for you to achieve a certain goal. But in fact, you were not the only one who benefited. The Gong family was turned upside down because of this. Body, this is the best proof.”
She looked at Gong Si, and for the first time there was pure appreciation in her eyes that had nothing to do with status, but only belonged to like-minded people.
"Little sister, do you know what your weaknesses are in what you have done before?"
Shaking his head, the so-called authorities are obsessed with this, that’s probably the truth.
"Because you always want to stay out. You want the entire Gong family to function. In this way, even after you leave, the Gong family will not fall. But little sister, if you, the decision-maker, If you are not involved, then some of the decisions you make will no longer be suitable for the Gong family, do you understand what I mean?"
Nodding, she really understood what Gong Si meant this time.
To put it bluntly, it's like being a lawyer.
If you want to be comfortable within a certain rule, the first thing you need to do is to clarify the rule.
Now she doesn't even have complete control over the Gong family, nor has she fully integrated into the Weiguo circle.
Then, no matter what she wants to do, she will actually hit a wall.
This would defeat her original intention.
"If you want to escape, you must first fall into it. Fourth brother, is this what you are saying?"
Gong Si looked at her with a bit of relief in his eyes.
He naturally knew his sister's strength, so he was not worried from the beginning that Gong Ya would be confused.
Now it seems that it is indeed the case.
"I understand, and I also know what I should do. I'm sorry, fourth brother, for making you worry before."
No matter what other people said, she saw and cared about the good relationship between her great-grandfather and her five brothers.
"Stupid or not, we are a family, why do you have to say such things?"
A family...
This title was actually a bit unfamiliar to her.
But since returning to this world, she has a father, a brother, a husband and a son.
Now, there is a whole new family.
Lin Mengya felt that the so-called perfection was nothing more than this.
"Well, yes, that's right!"
From now on, she will truly accept the identity of the Gong family.
Then one day, when she can let go, she will return the Gong family completely to her family.
Only in this way can we repay everyone's trust in her.
"You can figure it out, which makes me happier than anyone else. By the way, after great-grandfather knew that you were going to the Qi family, he hoped that you could bring your third brother and fifth brother with you."
Gong Si returned to his usual smile, and became more and more pampered towards Gong Ya.
"It's not difficult, but didn't great-grandfather tell them to restrain themselves and not attract the attention of interested people?"
"Third brother has been in a bad mood recently, and it's not like you don't know it. As for Lao Wu, the previous incident with the Liu family has greatly damaged his image. So great-grandfather thinks that it can be restored."
Although the Liu family's incident seemed to have cleared Gong Wu's grievances in the end, in fact, it turned him into the infamous Yuan Yang.
The fifth brother doesn't care, but the great-grandfather can't bear it.
After all, he is a child of an aristocratic family. If his reputation becomes bad, it will affect his future and marriage.
As a last resort, Lin Mengya had no choice but to nod.
"Okay, will fourth brother also come with us?"
"I won't go. There are a lot of things at home, and I have to take care of your things for going to the temple. My eldest brother is too busy, so I have to stay and help him."
Gong Si had always been gentle and considerate, and Lin Mengya also felt a little pity.
But it's not possible for all six members of their family to go. That would seem to place too much emphasis on the Qi family's invitation.
Fortunately, she is not the official head of the family yet, otherwise she would not easily accept such an invitation.
After placing the baby, she took Gong San and Gong Wu to the banquet.
"Fifth brother, why do you always doze off? Where have you been fooling around these past few days?"
On the carriage, Gong Wu, the liveliest member of the family, kept dozing off.
Lin Mengya and Gong San looked at him curiously. Is this guy looking like he hasn't slept in several days
However, looking at the Wu Qing in front of him, he also knew what kind of life he had been living these past few days.
"Forget it, there was an accident at a ski resort outside the city. It was said that many people were buried underneath. My brother and I ran around for several days, but we couldn't rescue a few people alive."
Ski resort? Lin Mengya already knows what Long Tianyu said about the missing body. Is it possible that these things are also related
"Probably not. Most people won't go to the ski resort. Besides, it's the Chinese New Year."
"Of course ordinary people won't go there. It's the slaves who are responsible for piling snow in the ski resort. You said. This is not the first day they have done this kind of errand. Why are they so careless? There are thousands of slaves, almost all They were buried under the snow. Our manpower and material resources were limited, and we were able to dig out less than a hundred living people in total. Moreover, they all suffered from disabilities. Now, I am afraid that life will be worse than death."
Gong Wu's tone was very bad, and he seemed to be wronged.
Lin Mengya knew Gong Wu's temperament, and that guy was a rare passionate young man.
After seeing the miserable condition of the slaves, I couldn't sympathize with them, so how could I say such cool words
"What's wrong?"
"Forget it, the official in charge of the slaves is quite good. He wanted to apply for a sum of money for the slaves to use as the cost of recuperation. However, the officials above did not care. With the words 'waste should fend for itself', the wounded were deprived of their rights. Life. I was so angry that I paid for it out of my own pocket, but those officials said I was meddling in my own business. If Brother Lian hadn't stopped me, I would have rushed up and whipped them a few times."
Unexpectedly, there is such a thing.
In Weiguo, slaves are indeed not regarded as human beings.
But this does not mean that they are statues without blood, tears and pain.
"Then, what did Brother Lian say?"
Lian Sheng is definitely not that kind of hard-hearted person, otherwise, he wouldn't be thinking about how to improve the situation of the Imperial Guards.
"What can Brother Lian do? He's just helping secretly. That official has a lot of background. He is said to be from one of the top ten aristocratic families. Bah, it's nothing."
No wonder, even the winning streak has to give in.
Both the Emperor and the Queen showed courtesy to the ten great families, not to mention the Lian family who were the imperial attendants.
"Don't be angry. If you really want to take care of this matter, I will give you an idea then. We will be at Qi's house in a while. You should be more careful and don't make any mistakes again."
Gong Wu nodded reluctantly, but it wasn't for Gong Ya.
Gong San was silent all the way. Lin Mengya looked at her two brothers who were the most troubled and couldn't help but shook her head.
The Qi family's house is half a mile across Longdu from the Gong family. They went out just after lunch, but it was almost dark before they arrived at the door of the Qi family.
The place was already brightly lit, and the young man standing at the door to welcome guests immediately greeted him enthusiastically after seeing the sign of the Gong family's carriage.
Gong San and Gong Wu stepped out of the carriage one after the other.
In front of a group of children from aristocratic families, the two of them were not inferior. On the contrary, they were quite eye-catching because of the contrast between one being quiet and the other being lively.
But in the car, the person who came out again attracted the attention of many people.
Under the light, a touch of fiery red is bright, moving and magnificent.
The woman is not a slender and delicate girl, but her face has already had a charming charm.
Next to her, the woman who was either pure or charming had all her brilliance taken away from her.
The boy was also a little crazy, but he was ecstatic about his good luck.
Being able to lead the way for such a stunning beauty, I feel that my life has been lived in vain.
The three members of the Gong family entered the Qi Mansion.
Even though they were in the carriage just now, the three of them still had their own thoughts.
But when they got here, the three of them immediately showed off their best manners.
"I really want to dig out their eyes to see what they are looking at. This is my sister!"
Gong Wu showed his brightest smile, but the words he whispered into the ears of the other two people had a somewhat sinister flavor.
"There will be opportunities in the future, don't worry."
Gong San is also calm, gentle and kind.
But his answer was full of murderous intent.
"Okay, you all go to the party properly. If you mess up, go home and I will let my great-grandfather pull out your skin."
She spoke and smiled, all eyes passing by, and finally landed on a noble lady who came to greet her.
"Gong Ya has met Mrs. Qi and thanks her for the warm invitation."
Mrs. Qi looks very beautiful, without the haggard appearance of middle-aged people at all.
And she was very different from the Lian family's aunt. This Mrs. Qi, who was not from a high background, had a pink face and rosy cheeks, and a pair of romantic peach blossom eyes.
"Anyway, it's just that the young lady doesn't think my place is rough. Miss Gong is indeed a fairy-like figure as in the legend. When I saw her, I fell in love with her so much that I couldn't even say anything."
Mrs. Qi's voice is very soft. Whether you are a man or a woman, you will probably like this soft but not sweet voice.
After the two exchanged pleasantries, Lin Mengya introduced the two brothers behind him to Mrs. Qi.
