Lin Jinlou frowned, Su Meiru naturally remembered that the woman was quite beautiful, good-looking, good at amorous style, good at dressing up, good at playing and singing, she was originally the concubine of a salt merchant in Yangzhou, and her husband came to him when she died. He rented a house outside to raise it for a while, and then he lightened his mind, and because Xianglan entered the house, he completely threw away his hand and gave the woman a sum of silver, she had a shop in the city, and he also entrusted someone to take care of it, and he felt that it was benevolent and righteous. Today, this old yellow calendar asked Lin Jinting to turn it out again, and Lin Jinlou glanced at him and said, "Remember, what?" ”

Lin Jinting sighed, put the medicine bowl on the lacquer, and said listlessly: "That girl is really a scourge, tsk, she somehow messed with my father." Raising his eyelids and peeking at it, he saw Lin Jinlou's face calm, and said, "My father is obsessed, because the woman is pregnant, he wants to promote her as a little wife, my father is afraid that the old lady will not agree, so he secretly married, who knows that a few days later, there are rumors outside, saying that the Lin family is rude, and the uncle and nephew are now pregnant" He looked at Lin Jinlou's face, and his voice became smaller and smaller.

It turned out that when Lin Jinlou was with Su Meiru that day, he had held a banquet in the house outside to invite several of his colleagues in the army to eat and drink, because his uncle Lin Changmin was also an official in the army, so he attracted a party together. Lin Changmin went very early, Lin Jinlou was not there, I saw Su Meiru wearing a silver bun, emerald plum blossoms, an inch-long jasper pendant on her ears, a silk gauze shirt, a white thread skirt, and a pair of red cherry toe shoes were exposed on the skirt side, pinching the square pin gold handkerchief, standing on the pedestal of the second door. Lin Changmin has long heard that his eldest nephew is romantic, there is a very delicate outer room, I saw the opposite side today, I saw that he was born with a jade and enchanting appearance, a slender waist, implying amorous moonlight, and a slightly dark complexion, but he was a "black cuier", but he added a pretty, melon seed face, two eyebrows bent slightly, Lin Changmin couldn't help but be stunned when he saw it, and couldn't help but make a deep sigh. Su Meiru was not as shy as an ordinary woman, she looked Lin Changmin up and down, made a blessing, covered her mouth and smiled, and threw her handkerchief into the back.

Lin Changmin paid attention when he saw it, and during the banquet, Lin Jinlou called Su Meiru to play and sing a set of "Thirty Cavities" with a pipa, tactful and soft, with a variety of styles, Lin Changmin became more and more worried, just because this person was Lin Jinlou's outer room, and he couldn't start. Since then, under the guise of taking care of Lin Jinlou, he has occasionally sent some things, or food, or incense powder, or hair oil, etc. What a clever talent Su Meiru is, she understands eight or nine points in her heart, she only accepts things, rewards the little guy who sent things, and doesn't give things back, and never mentions Lin Jinlou, Lin Changmin sent it four or five times, and when she saw that Su Meiru didn't respond, she threw away her hand.

Until Lin Jinlou disappeared and no longer came to Su Meiru here, he sent Jixiang to send three thousand taels of silver and a box of jewelry, which was considered the end. Su Meiru also cried sadly for a few days, but she had to live after wiping away her tears, so she could only say ruthlessly in her heart: "If a woman wants to live well, she still has to rely on herself, no man can be relied on, instead of believing in men, it is better to believe in silver!" If you remarry tomorrow, you must marry a rich and powerful family, otherwise how can you be worthy of all the hardships I have suffered! "Because she was born beautiful and quite rich, she wants to marry her as a step-room, or take concubines to enter the door a lot, matchmakers come and go in the town, but the door is far worse than the Lin family, so it is easy to have a decent family background, and it is convenient to be old and ugly, where can I catch up with Lin Jinlou. One day, someone knocked on the door, and a small servant stood at the door, claiming that the second master of the Lin family had asked him to deliver the fragrance. The mother-in-law who opened the door hurriedly turned to the back and showed the two bottles of perfume to Su Meiru, but Su Meiru was completely different from the past, and personally called the little maid in to ask this and that, and at the end, she also wrapped a bag of jujube paste cake that had just come out of the cage drawer with her usual handkerchief, saying that she made it herself, and let her take it back for Lin Changmin to taste.

A few days later, Lin Changmin came in person. Su Meiru was dressed up, with a blue jewel pendant in her ears, a lotus-colored gauze shirt, a silver-red armor, a woven gold skirt, and Lin Changmin ate wine. This Su Mei is like a diligent persuasion of wine, and love words. Lin Changmin's heart swayed unconsciously, thinking that Su Meiru was a rich widow, he became more and more sweet, asking Su Meiru to sing a song, and wanted to do something. Su Meiru talked and laughed intimately, but she was very stingy between her siblings, and only said: "Although the slave is from a humble background, he can beat a child and is also pampered by the palm of his hand, and he refuses to sing to people indiscriminately." ”

Lin Changmin smiled and said, "What? Before, my nephew asked you to sing it, and you sang it, but I didn't have as much face as him? ”

Su Meiru drew her skirt with her fingers and said, "I followed him that day, he was my man, who am I with Second Master Lin?" "Bright eyes and watery, Rao is Lin Changmin has seen a few beautiful women, and he can't help but feel itchy, and he hasn't spoken, but he saw Su Meiru standing up and saying, "It's too late today, Second Master Lin will go back, and come back tomorrow." With that, he got up and went away.

Lin Changmin couldn't help but be stunned, and sat for a long time, knowing that Su Meiru would not come out, so he had to leave five taels of silver and one ingot Yu Xiaoya said: "This silver is left to buy rouge gouache for your girl, and I will come with Ming'er, and bring two more satins." "Get up and go.

Come back a few days later, but eat the closed door, the doorkeeper said that Su Meiru went up the mountain to incense, and then went again, and said that Su Meiru went to relatives. This is Su Meiru's means, if Lin Changmin only regarded her as seven points before, but this time he saw that his hand was not off his hand, so he regarded her as twelve points, and he couldn't ask for it anymore. Baba's didn't enter the door until the third time, and Lin Changmin first gave a horse weighing thirty-eight taels of Songjiang Kuoji pointed plain white satin, two sets of clothes, and fifty taels of silver. Su Meiru was full of affection, this time she held the pipa, lightly supported Luo sleeves, sang a "Plum Wind", and saluted Lin Changmin's wine after singing. Lin Changmin was so happy that he just wanted to be affectionate, and he didn't want to be pushed away by Su Meiru, and said: "Thanks to the second master's love, it's just that although the slave family is a wanderer, he also has two backbones, and now there are two roads with the second master, one long and one short, I don't know how the master chooses?" ”

Lin Changmin asked, "Which two?" How long is it, and how short is it? ”

Su Meiru said: "If it's short, you and I will live happily for one night, I will repay the second master for treating me for this kindness, dew marriage, and catch up with Ming'er to marry a man and a woman, each has nothing to do." Han Guangye, the son of Han County Order, has entrusted a matchmaker to marry me to fill the house, although he is only an eight-grade official, but the Han family is also very respectable. ”

Lin Changmin said: "What about the long?" ”

Su Meiru got up, pulled Lin Changmin to a box in the house, and pulled the box open, only to see half of the box of antique treasures, all kinds of silk and satin. Su Meiru said: "I still have such things, not only these, I also have another shop, this room full of furniture is also mine, just this black lacquer carved gold bed is twenty-six taels of silver, if you are willing to marry me seriously, husband and wife, these are you and me, stay together for a long time, and have children is not like a fairy couple?" ”

This box of things really made Lin Changmin's eyes warm and his heart beat. They can't come to the big house in this room, and Lin Zhaoxiang doesn't look down on it, although there is no shortage of silver, but Lin Changmin has a magic barrier for gambling, and if he comes and goes, the silver is not enough. He can't squeeze any more money out of his wife Wang's place, and now he still has credit outside, and he is only proud to spend a lot of money in front of outsiders, but every time he spends a penny in his heart, he is also extremely reluctant. Now that Su Meiru is so rich, it really makes him moved. Besides, he Wang's is only medium-looking, and now that he is getting older, he is not as good as before, and Wang's treatment of people is stupid, he is used to not looking at people's eyes, he will not be empathetic, where is Su Meiru graceful, clever and gentle. But at the moment, he muttered: "The old man has the most prestige, in the end, you are 'halfway home', you are not innocent, and I am not afraid of going out with my eldest nephew, I am only afraid of my father."

Su Meiru said: "What is the master afraid of, just keep your voice at all, let's repair the plank road in the dark, and quietly do it, who knows it." After a year and a half, I have your flesh and blood, how can the old lady not love his grandson, besides, you and I are like this, his old man will scold you at most once, what else can he do. I heard that your original partner is also a soft and temperamental, how can you not tolerate people. ”

It is the color that makes the wisdom faint, and the way is that the wealth is moving, this remark made Lin Changmin's heart pound, he didn't care about the strict father at the moment, the nephew below, and the prestige of the housekeeper, all of them were lost, and he swore an alliance with Su Mei at the moment, and he was single-minded. But I didn't know Su Meiru's intentions. It turned out that this person was arrogant, especially after following Lin Jinlou, her vision became higher and higher, and she couldn't look down on anyone who came to ask for marriage, and she wanted to marry a wealthy family, but those who intended to come were not satisfactory. Only Lin Changmin, who is only forty-three or four this year, is slightly fat, with a medium figure, dark skin and thin eyes, and ordinary people, but he also has a dignified demeanor, and he is from the official body of the fifth grade, gentle and soft-spoken, and everything is proper, Lin Jinlou inadvertently said that the Wang family does not seem to be very effective in the inner house, and he has a tofu-like temperament, so the main room will be easy to handle in the future. She thought about it, no matter how much better this person was, it also implied that Lin Jinlou's heart was angry, and she was with Lin Changmin.

So the two rushed to discuss, Su Meiru took the silver to put down the rented house, and Lin Changmin used the silver to make noodles, make clothes, and add new wedding applications such as coverings and curtains. On the selected day, Lin Changmin only invited two acquaintances and a few people in the clan who were good friends with him, set up a wine banquet, and officially accepted Su Meiru as a concubine.
