After sharing his deepest secret with Tian Ning, the relationship between the two seems to have gotten closer.
What surprised her even more was that Tian Ning had his own unique opinions on national affairs and family affairs.
No wonder when Brother Tian Ning was studying with his elder brother, Master always praised Brother Tian Ning as a pillar of talent.
However, since Tian's mother was kicked out of the house, Brother Tian Ning was also forced to interrupt his education. This is a bit of a pity.
"Now the imperial court is in turmoil due to the struggle for power. If this continues, the tranquility of the Jin Dynasty will sooner or later be replaced by war. By then, the people will be in dire straits. If another foreign country looks at the Jin Dynasty with covetous eyes, all life will be ruined. Even if General Lin is both wise and brave, but the Lin family is a lonely tree. I am afraid that when the time comes, he will not be able to save the world."
In Tian Ning's eyes, there was a hint of loneliness that was concerned about the country and the people.
All good men in this world don't want to make a career.
However, due to his identity, Tian Ning could only silently act as a bystander.
All this fell into Lin Mengya's eyes.
"Brother Tian Ning, you have such great ambitions, why don't you consider becoming an official?"
He asked tentatively, but saw the barely suppressed pain in Tian Ning's eyes.
Only then did she remember that Tian’s mother had signed a death contract when she entered the government. Therefore, Tian Ning is a slave of the Lin family in terms of status.
The laws of the Jin Dynasty stipulated that no one after being a peasant or merchant slave could take part in the imperial examination.
Therefore, most of the people in the court, whether they are veterans or rising stars, have family power behind them.
Just like Baili Wuchen, who was as talented as Baili Wuchen, he had to act as Long Tianyu's retainer first. Even if he took refuge with the prince, it was just an errand in the Forbidden Army.
Literati naturally want to become civil servants who can quarrel with others. On this point, Baili Wuchen and Tian Ning have similar worries.
"Do you think your identity can't be this? What's so difficult about this? Don't forget, my brother and I are no longer the weaklings we were before. When the time comes, I'll ask my brother to take the death contract between you and your mother. Come out and report to the government."
Lin Mengya said casually that changing her identity was just a piece of cake for her now.
Tian Ning looked at her with some confusion, because every three years, domestic slaves must be reported to the court as family property.
If you want to regain your civilian status, it's not just as simple as taking out the contract.
Before the next personal property inspection, the master's family must first apply and write a written certificate, and then find the ancestral home of the slave and register his household registration. In order, from the county where the ancestral home is, the applications are submitted for approval layer by layer.
Only in this way can he obtain the status that allows him to apply for the imperial examination.
For this reason, many domestic slaves just ran away. But for the rest of his life, he will never be able to gain his own identity.
"It's better... forget it. It's really too troublesome. The master and the young master are very kind to us mother and son. We should also devote our lives to the master and the young master. I am already very happy that you can have this kind of heart. If my mother finds out about this, she will definitely think that I am ungrateful. Besides, I am just a wild man, so it is not my turn to intervene in the affairs of the court. "
Tian Ning sighed self-deprecatingly, but his tone was very firm, and it was not like Lin Mengya's common duplicity.
I sighed secretly in my heart. In this ancient world where people were judged by their origins, there were countless talents like Brother Tian Ning who never got the chance to display their talents.
If these old feudal customs and class prejudices could really be abolished, perhaps the world would be very different!
"By the way, I heard that you are going to Lintian Kingdom this time. You are well prepared. Accidents can happen at any time on this road like in the capital."
Only the few people around her knew that Lin Mengya was going to Lintian Kingdom.
Although Tian Ning was quite confident in her, he couldn't help but feel a little worried. After all, the mountains are high and the water is far away, and no one can predict the situation on this road in advance.
However, with Lin Mengya's intelligence now, she must have been prepared for it.
"Of course, I will go with the caravan. Moreover, there is my father's old team here. He will take care of me on the way, so you don't have to worry."
Lin Mengya also made the same excuse to Tian's mother.
Anyway, dad’s old subordinates are all over the world, and everyone has become a businessman, so there is nothing to doubt.
But in fact, most of this group of businessmen are the elite of Sanjuetang.
Of course, no one among them knew that the woman traveling with them was the legendary hall master who had hands and eyes that reached the sky and was mysterious.
According to Yunzhu, the deputy hall leader, she was just a wealthy businessman's daughter traveling. Because the family was worried about their safety, they spent a large sum of money, and San Juetang took care of it secretly.
With Yunzhu's ability to do things, he will definitely select some capable people. Moreover, Yunzhu also explained that he did not have to be respectful to her, but he must ensure her safety.
Who dares to disobey orders from Yunzhu, the deputy hall master
Besides, the people in Sanjue Hall are not all desperadoes anymore. Because Lin Mengya established a selection system based on ability regardless of origin. Unexpectedly, it also attracted some reclusive people in the world.
Now, there are talents emerging one after another in Sanjue Hall. Even the title Sanjue Young Master has gradually become famous. I heard from Yunzhu that in the past few months, it has been updated once a month.
If this development continues, it won't be long before Sanjuetang will become a well-known intelligence force in the world.
Of course, she will definitely encounter a lot of resistance. But now, striving for development is the most important thing.
"If that's the case, then I'm relieved. No wonder, no matter how much I tried to persuade my mother, she agreed. When are you going to leave? That prince is very interested in you. He wants to go out. , I’m afraid it won’t be an easy task.”
Even Tian Ning, an honest man, started to make fun of himself.
Lin Mengya almost bit her silver teeth into pieces. Humph, it was just a wishful thinking that a few strong men with muscles more developed than their heads could block her.
"I already have countermeasures. These days, I'm just paralyzing them. The day after tomorrow, at the latest I will leave in three days. This time, it will take more than a month at least. I will try my best Come back before Long Tianyu comes back. After I leave, my mother and the others will have to leave it to you."
In the room, Bai Zhi's voice calling him could be heard.
Lin Mengya stood up and patted her butt. There was no trace of sadness on her face. Instead, he raised a confident smile and his eyes were bright, shining brighter than the stars in the sky.
"Well, you can rest assured. I will definitely protect the people in this yard to my death."
Lin Mengya couldn't help but laugh at such a serious attitude.
He patted Tian Ning's back with his little hand and said in a mature manner:
"Young man, don't be so rigid in doing things. Girl guarding a yard full of flowers, your spring is about to come!"
Lin Mengya winked playfully, and then jumped back into the house like a rabbit.
Only Tian Ning was left, dumbfounded.
Just now, what did Lin Mengya mean
In the room, the two girls, together with Tian's mother, were explaining Lin Mengya's living habits to Bai Shao. Seeing Bai Shao's face grimacing but not having an attack, Lin Mengya felt a little lucky.
Fortunately, Bai Shao helped her share all this, otherwise, she would have been nagged to death by these three housekeepers!
"These are the tonics that Master will use on a daily basis. You must keep them close to your body. Remember, you cannot leave your body for a moment. There are also Master's personal clothes. Before wearing them, you must check to see if they have been tampered with."
Baiji warned carefully that they had suffered several losses in this kind of thing before.
If the master hadn't been alert, he might have fallen into the trap of the interested person.
This time on the road, the people they met were not necessarily as vicious as the ones they met before. But people’s hearts are hard to guard against, and you may encounter what kind of people.
"Okay, okay, I know, I know, don't worry. Although you have done these things before, it's not like I haven't seen it before. I promise that the master will come back safely and intact."
Bai Shao was of course raising her hands to guarantee that the reason why her master chose her to follow him was not because he favored her. It's because Baiji and Baizhi usually work in the house.
Although the information is delicate, the environment is simple after all. It's not as good as her who has been living in the market since she was a child. She knew something about the outside world.
By following the master, you can always give him a heads up or something.
Unexpectedly, because of this, he became the target of everyone's concentrated attack.
Alas, she really has a hard time doing her job.
He looked towards his master for help, but unexpectedly, he saw his master's gloating expression.
She secretly screamed in pain, who allowed her to have such a heartless master.
"Okay, don't embarrass Bai Shao. She will naturally know these things. Although we are outside, we can live as we please. Mother Tian, I will leave these two girls and this yard to you. . If someone deliberately makes things difficult for you, please bear with it for a while and wait until I come back before they attack again."
Lin Mengya was referring to the master in Yaxuan.
Now that Long Tianyu and she are not in the house, the one in Yaxuan will certainly not stay so honestly.
But now she is being watched closely. In order not to cause trouble to her, the two girls refused to go to Father Bai's place to avoid the limelight.
However, the government will discover her disappearance sooner or later, and when the time comes, Butler Deng will naturally take care of the people in her yard.
