Code Sample, a copy-pastable example if possible

from pandas import Series


class Xseries(Series):
    _metadata = ['attr']

    @property
    def _constructor(self):
        return Xseries

    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
        self.attr = kwargs.pop('attr', 0)
        super().__init__(*args, **kwargs)

s = Xseries([1, 2, 3], attr=3)

Problem description

According to https://pandas.pydata.org/pandas-docs/stable/internals.html#define-original-properties
I should be able to define an original property and have it passed on when a new object is constructed.

This works

s.mul(2).attr

3

While this doesn't

s.__mul__(2).attr

0

Expected Output

I expected both output to be 3
