In ancient times, it was not an easy matter for a woman to return to her natal family.
First of all, it is considered polite to inform your parents-in-law and send it back to your husband after getting permission.
If the husband does not accompany him, he will be deemed to have made a mistake and will be deported.
Sitting on the carriage, Lin Mengya really felt that the status of women in ancient times was really very different from modern times. Every Spring Festival, whether to go back to your parents' home or your in-laws' home to celebrate the New Year always causes an uproar among the people.
However, fortunately she is an orphan and does not have to consider these issues.
Only now, she has become a member of the ancient wives. He is also a royal family whose every move is related to his life. It's really a bit disappointing.
With the prince's order, Butler Deng naturally did not dare to be careless.
Although, it was because the prince had no free time that he was asked to escort the princess back to her parents' home. However, he had seen the mother and daughter of the Lin family before.
No wonder the prince is worried after all the instructions. However, the princess is not someone to be bullied. Maybe it was the mother and daughter of the Lin family who suffered.
"It's almost there, it's almost there. Master, look, the big willow tree behind our house is still so tall and tall."
Even though she was a little reluctant, Bai Zhi still said with some excitement.
After all, it was the place where you grew up. How could you throw it away so easily
The carriage quickly arrived in front of the Zhennan Hou Mansion, and no one came out to greet it.
Butler Deng frowned. Originally, the palace had sent someone to deliver the news last night. But now, why is there still not even half a person
"Princess, be careful."
With the support of Butler Deng and Bai Zhi, Lin Mengya walked to the door of her house.
He sneered, this Shangguan Qing was really getting worse and worse.
Ordinarily, at least for the sake of Long Tianyu's face, he should make some appearance.
Now, knowing that Long Tianyu is not coming, he doesn't even bother to show off.
The door was closed. After all, she was the eldest daughter of the Lin family, but she was turned away by her own family. It might sound a bit unpleasant if it is spread out.
However, Lin Mengya did not get angry. Instead, she signaled to Butler Deng to ask someone to knock on the door.
"Come, come, who is it?"
The door was opened a crack, and then an unfamiliar face was revealed.
Lin Mengya's eyes just glanced over, and what caught her eye was a boy with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks.
In the past, all the concierges at home were veterans of Dad’s old army. Although each one's temples are slightly white, they are very solid.
Therefore, the Lin family's concierge has never had such a thing as looking down on others.
Now that the person has changed, even if he doesn't know her as the eldest lady, but after seeing the carriage of Prince Yu's Mansion, he should be wiser, right
Unexpectedly, the man just glanced at them lazily, and then asked very impatiently:
"Who are you? Didn't you see that this is the Zhennan Hou Mansion? What kind of door are you calling?"
The irritable tone made Lin Mengya frown slightly.
Dad once said that in a truly educated family, no matter whether they are concierges or servants, they cannot bully others.
Unexpectedly, not long after my father left home, this concierge appeared in the house.
Sure enough, whoever raises a dog looks like whom, right
Butler Deng naturally refused to be exposed to this kind of guy, and said without changing his expression:
"This little brother, our wife is the eldest lady in the Lin family. Please make it convenient for you."
Butler Deng's attitude was considered polite, although the man in front of him was just a target that he could solve with one hand.
But the other party looked up and down, looking at Butler Deng with great disrespect and disdain.
"There is only one young lady Lin Mengwu in our house, and there is no other young lady next to her. Which family are you a servant of? Maybe you have recognized the wrong door!"
Hearing this sentence, Lin Mengya confirmed her guess.
Looking at this concierge, I saw that he changed it after his father left. I can't say for sure, he just took office yesterday.
Wasn't it because he wanted to give her, the eldest lady, a show of strength
If she had an attack, in the end the boy would just say that he was a newcomer, Shangguan Qing and his daughter, and he would not have any responsibility at all.
Finally, she gained a reputation as a harsh critic of her servants, which made her seem stingy.
But unfortunately, she was not so patient today and spent her time at the gate with a boy.
"Go away."
A faint shout came, and the boy was stunned. He looked across the way and saw a woman in palace clothes slowly walking towards him.
The second young lady in the mansion, Lin Mengya, is pretty and cute, and is already at a level that people like them can hardly reach.
But the young woman in front of her was so charming and charming, with a pink face that could be considered astonishing.
The boy stared at her intently for a while, but there was a sharp pain in his eyes.
"ah-"
He let out a wail, and the boy rolled on the ground in pain.
However, in front of everyone, no one felt any severe pain, whether it was Lin Mengya, Bai Zhi, or Butler Deng.
"Come on, let's go in."
Lin Mengya didn't even look at him and walked past the boy who was still wailing and rolling.
Since you dare to block the way, you must be aware of being punished by her.
Butler Deng just used a small stone to teach him a lesson. You'll be fine after a few days of training. If your father were here, he would definitely be punished even more severely.
After entering the gate, the servants in the front yard looked at Lin Mengya with a little more embarrassment.
However, having learned from the past, the people behind her also followed the same example and came to salute her and say hello.
"Everyone, please get up. This is a New Year's gift given to you by the eldest lady of our family. We, the eldest lady, are also inconvenienced outside. It's hard work for you to serve the master and the young master at home."
Lin Mengya looked straight, not looking at anyone.
He looked somewhat arrogant, but it made most of the servants in the field tremble.
Now, don't look at it, only the wife and the second young lady are left in the house. But when the master and the young master came back, they also said that the eldest lady will always be the eldest lady of the Lin family.
Some of these people had suffered hardships for Lin Mengya. Cold sweat broke out immediately. You must know that Liu Er, the concierge, is also a well-known gangster in Kyoto.
Although they don't know why Madam would recruit such a person. But now, just because he blocked the eldest lady's way, he was taught such a miserable thing.
Suddenly, he felt a little more respectful towards Lin Mengya.
I hope that, as the eldest lady, there are many, the next unlucky person will not be me.
"Thank you, Miss, for the reward." Bai Zhi stood there generously and distributed some small red envelopes to all the servants.
Inside, there was just some broken silver. She didn't even have enough money for snacks for a few days. Seeing the people she had envied in the past looking so happy because of these few pieces of silver, she couldn't help but feel that her eldest lady was really a good master!
"Where are the madam and the second young lady?"
There were just some servants in the front yard. Lin Mengya did not see any sign of the mother and daughter.
It's strange. According to past practice, they should at least stand there and laugh at themselves for watching a big show. Why now, it seems like he has a long memory.
"When I get back to the eldest lady, my wife is in the second lady's room. I heard that the second lady suddenly fell ill this morning."
A clever woman immediately replied to Lin Mengya's words with a smile on her face.
sick? What a coincidence
Lin Mengya was a little confused. Lin Mengya's body had always been healthier than hers. Why did he suddenly become ill
"Take me to see it."
It wasn't because she cared about Lin Mengwu, it was just that she felt a little strange.
The mother-in-law immediately led her through the front yard to Tinglan Pavilion where Lin Mengwu lived.
Compared with her small building, Tinglan Pavilion is a little less exquisite and elegant. But inside it is graceful and luxurious, and rare treasures can be seen everywhere.
Of course, if the pipes used to drink water from hers were both made from the finest warm jade from Liuxinyuan, there would be no comparison at all.
However, it can also be seen that Lin Mengwu's life is countless times better than that of the stupid Lin Mengya back then.
When Lin Mengya arrived in the courtyard, she saw Lin Mengwu's personal maid Huan'er, guarding outside with an anxious look.
After seeing Lin Mengya, he immediately came up to her and said loudly on purpose:
"Greetings to the eldest lady, no, greetings to the princess."
Lin Mengya looked at Huan'er in front of her. She was about the same age as Bai Zhi, but she had already learned how to use the power of a fox to pretend to be a tiger.
At the beginning, she was sharp-tongued and bullied herself and Bai Zhi. .
Judging from the girl's panic, it seemed as if she was being stopped on purpose.
"Get up. I heard that my sister is sick and my mother is here. I'll go in and see them."
Lin Mengya tried to walk to Lin Mengwu's house, but Huan'er immediately stood in front of her. A pair of watery eyes, looking left and right, looking very guilty.
"Eldest... eldest lady, let's forget it. The second young lady is really sick. Madam specially told me that if the eldest lady comes, just wait for a while. Otherwise, I will pass on the illness to you."
This disease came very suddenly.
Lin Mengya felt that Lin Mengwu was probably not just sick.
After taking another step forward, Lin Mengya took a deep breath before speaking loudly:
"Mom, sister, I will go back to my small house first. Sister, please take care of yourself and don't overwork yourself. If mother is free, you might as well catch up with me about old times."
Seeing Lin Mengya say this, Huan'er finally breathed a sigh of relief.
With a smile on his face, he watched Lin Mengya and Bai Zhi leave Tinglan Pavilion.
"Master, why were you so polite just now? Why don't you just rush in? Look, what's wrong? Madam Punctual and the Second Miss want to deliberately embarrass you!"
Bai Zhi said angrily, but she saw a faint smile on Lin Mengya's lips.
