Chapter 1216: Wisdom in a hurry
"Miss Gong, what's wrong with you?"
After hurriedly instructing, Lin Mengya quickly ran in the direction of the front yard.
Soon, she held back her steps, trying to make herself look less panicked.
She must not panic, since the other party can find this opportunity, it seems that it has been premeditated.
Even so, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no backhand.
I must not startle the snakes, and it will be bad if they are forced to jump off the wall in a hurry!
The front yard was close in front of her, Lin Mengya's heart hung in her heart, the medicinal properties of the poison were not too violent, as long as she arrived in time, even if she took it, there was a great chance that she could be saved.
"Miss Gong, why are you here?"
Outside the flower hall in the front yard, the servants guarding her were a little surprised when they saw her.
Lin Mengya knew that her own going and returning might be a flaw.
In a hurry, she pretended to be innocent and put her finger to her lips.
"Please, you two don't see me, you know, my brother just drank and slept the other day. I'm worried that if he forgets himself again after drinking, he will fail the kindness of Uncle Shi and his aunt. I'll just take a sneak peek and ask you two to keep it a secret for me, okay? β
The two nodded, Gong Wu's incident was indeed spreading, and they understood her difficulties at the moment.
Lin Mengya smiled gratefully at the two of them and flashed into the front yard.
Seeing that she had arrived at the door of the flower hall, she also saw a few small servants standing at the door holding copper plates.
Although the smell is slow in winter, the Shennong system will not go wrong.
The fruit adulterated with poison is in these copper plates.
But those little guys didn't look like living people, she saw someone fainting on the ground in the backyard, could it be that the person who brought the fruit in was already lurking in the dark?
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but become more and more cautious.
The enemy is in the dark, she is in the light, and she has to find a way to change this situation.
Just as I was thinking about it, the little guys had already rushed in.
Lin Mengya thought about it and followed.
When she arrived at the door, she still said the same thing, and the people in the Lian family didn't have much defense against her, so they easily let people in.
As soon as she arrived in the flower hall, Lin Mengya saw everyone sitting on the side drinking tea.
Mrs. Lian was very happy when she saw her, and beckoned her to sit beside her.
"Why didn't I see you, you would lie to me and say that Ya'er is gone. Look, isn't this coming back? Have you eaten? What are you going to do on such a cold day? β
Mrs. Lian's attitude was very kind, as if she was asking her own children.
Murong Xi was a little unhappy in his heart, but he keenly discovered Gong Ya's abnormality.
Although her gaze seemed unintentional, she seemed to look at the copper plate a few more times.
Why does she care so much about the contents of the copper plate?
"Come on, come on, everybody taste. This thing is a rarity, and you can't usually eat it if you want to. Today, I am grateful for the blessings of His Highness Xi. β
Mrs. Lian greeted everyone with a smile on her face, and Murong Xi remembered that before she came, she ordered the Zhuangzi outside Longdu to send some fresh fruits, which were for Mrs. Lian.
Unexpectedly, that woman was actually interested in this kind of thing.
Hmph, the little family is angry.
Lin Mengya watched as the little servants brought the copper plate to everyone, and after lifting the lid, a few bunches of green and purple grapes were delicate.
She was so anxious, before coming to Longdu, her eldest brother had repeatedly told her not to reveal her good ability to distinguish drugs.
And right now, those people don't necessarily lie in ambush somewhere.
Seeing that everyone was ready to taste this rare delicacy, Lin Mengya's mind was racing and a flash of inspiration occurred.
"Madam, it is rare for His Highness Xi to have a good intention. What's the fun of just eating like this? β
Even Mrs. Lian's heart is lively, and she likes interesting things the most, and when she says this, she is also aroused a little bit of thought.
"What do you mean, what do you mean, what is interesting? Is it poetry or riddles? β
After chatting about business all morning, everyone was a little tired.
After listening to her proposal, I couldn't help but be a little interested.
Lin Mengya thought about it for a while before she said to Mrs. Lian with a smile.
"The winter days are long, and the poetry guessing is the most common thing. Let's guess the quantity. If you win, you can designate the person who lost to do one thing. If you lose, you are not allowed to regret it. β
Even Madame thought about it, and thought it was a good idea, and it was very interesting.
"Okay, okay, Xu Yan, how about you come to be the owner?"
The tea doctor surnamed Xu immediately came up, and after Mrs. Lian gave a few words, he nodded with a smile.
"Alright, let's get started. The number of grapes in front of you is the standard. Whoever has the grapes is gone, and the game is over. Every round of grapes has to go into your personal mouths. Don't be greedy, you'll know when you're cold. β
Even Mrs. briefly introduced some rules, and everyone understood.
In the first round, everyone quietly threw a small bunch of grapes on the plate, and Lin Mengya did the same, but she didn't care about the numbers, but thought about how to warn them.
"Guys, are you ready?"
Xu Yan asked with a smile, everyone nodded, and then, he stepped forward to salute, and was the first to walk in front of the plate of the Lian family master and lift the lid.
"Even Master, five."
Madame was immediately dejected, because Xu Yan quickly reported her number.
"Mrs. Lian, four."
"One less! Master, you must have peeked! β
Even when the old man heard his wife's complaints, he was just silent, but there was a bit of joy in his eyes.
"Eldest son, seven."
"Second son, six."
Even Xing was disappointed, really, he couldn't even beat his eldest brother by playing a game, it was really a disappointment.
"Your Highness Xi... Twelve. β
Everyone looked at Murong Xi and thought that this guy's competitiveness was really strong.
After Gong Wu saw it, he couldn't help but shake his head and opened his copper plate.
"Gong Wu Gongzi, nine."
Mrs. Lian felt more and more frustrated, so it seemed that she could only be punished.
Lin Mengya has not been in a state, and she doesn't even know that the copper plate in front of her is opened.
"Miss Gong, two."
"What? Two? Ya'er, you can only be punished! β
Mrs. Lian was a little happy, smiling so much that she couldn't see her eyebrows.
Lin Mengya looked at her plate with hindsight, and then looked at her right hand.
Oops! She was distracted just now, and took out the more strings, and put the less ones in.
"In this round, His Royal Highness Xi won, and Miss Gong lost. May I ask His Royal Highness Xi, how do you punish Miss Gong Ya? β
Murong Xi was a little happy, originally he just thought that this game was boring and naΓ―ve, but now it seems that there are still some benefits.
He thought for a moment before he spoke.
"The tea that Miss Gong made just now is good, I just feel tired, why don't you let her make me another cup of tea."
Tea-making again?
At this moment, even Lian Xing couldn't help it.
After all, Gong Ya is a noble daughter of a family, how can she always do these rough work?
But what she didn't expect was that Gong Ya stood up with a smile.
"Please wait, Your Highness, I'll be here at once! Until I come back, everyone, don't steal it! β
Then, under the surprised eyes of everyone, he quickly walked out of the flower hall.
"Isn't it, you're addicted to making tea, right?"
Lian Xing touched his chin and whispered to Gong Wu.
"Go, don't talk nonsense."
Gong Wu also felt that today's sister was a little weird.
However, after all, this is the game she proposed, and presumably, she also wants to hurry up.
came to the small kitchen with a familiar car, and someone followed behind, but it was not Xu Yan.
The man lowered his eyebrows and looked very deferential.
just followed her step by step, making her feel a little uncomfortable.
"Can you get me a pen?"
She turned around and smiled gently.
"What are you going to do with the pen?"
The man still didn't look up, but the question looked a little strange.
Lin Mengya's heart turned down and explained.
"Your tea doctor must have told you, I am a person who makes tea, and there are many unusual little means. Don't worry, and take it, you won't miss your errand. Remember, it should be brand new, and it should not be stained with ink. Otherwise, no matter how clean this tea is, this tea is dyed with other flavors, and it is a pity. β
As soon as the man heard that she only wanted a pen and nothing else, his attitude eased slightly.
turned around and walked out, and Lin Mengya immediately turned around at this time and kept rummaging in front of the tea shelf.
After adding many kinds of tea, the man hurried back.
Lin Mengya thanked her and took the pen.
She soaked the tip of the pen with water, and finally dipped some mixed tea into it, and wrote and drew in it.
But on the surface, it seems that she is washing the cup with a brush.
After doing this several times, she made the tea according to the normal procedure.
"After a long wait, let's go."
Lin Mengya personally took the tea and walked back to the flower hall with the man.
Fortunately, there are no gluttons among these people, and they are all waiting for her.
"You're back, let's hurry up and start the next round!"
Lian Xing was a little impatient, but Lin Mengya just smiled at her, and then brought the cup to Long Tianyu.
"Your Highness Xi, please have tea."
She held her teacup up in respect.
Murong Xi elegantly picked up the tea bowl, just took the lid of the cup, and after glancing inside, he was stunned for a moment.
Then, he put the teacup next to him, frowned, and looked at her dissatisfied.
"What do you mean by that?"
Lin Mengya 'groaned' in her heart, could it be, the dead man became stupid, right?
But on his face, he still has a shallow smile.
"This tea, but it doesn't suit His Highness's taste?"
After Murong Xi glanced at her, he looked a little angry.
"You know that my chest is upset, but you still bring me this strong taste of tea, why? Are you dissatisfied with my request? β
