338 Scheme
Lin Jinlou went to the front study from Changchun Hall in the afternoon, and the book dye followed behind, only to see that her master was wearing a new cluster of pine green python satin straight body, and the waist was tied with a woven gold and green cloud belt, and the posture was more and more upright. Their uncle and Master Lin have been arguing since the morning, and the people with heads and faces have secretly spread it all over, only to know that the eldest master has moved the anger of thunder, what is the reason, there are all kinds of things. Shuran didn't dare to speculate, only to be cautious.
After entering the study, Ji Xiang had already made tea, and Lin Jinlou asked, "What about Mr. Kang?" "Kang Shiyuan is his staff, and he is his right-hand man.
Ji Xiang hurriedly said: "Shuangxi went to invite, I'm afraid this is here." ”
Lin Jinlou nodded and sat down behind the bookcase. He and Xianglan were in the same place, although Xianglan didn't say anything, but she was soft and smooth in his arms, from the way she looked at herself, Lin Jinlou seemed to have understood in his heart, but he was afraid that he would guess wrong, he felt that he was stupid and stupid, like a stupid boy who had just fallen in love, and he couldn't let his brothers laugh off his big teeth when he spread it, but he was satisfied, and he continued to fight with him. He already knew that his father was full of etiquette and humility, and he hoped that he could see Xianglan's kindness in saving his family twice, and his mother blew the pillow wind again, and the old lady said a few good words, let him see how Xianglan behaved, how to behave, and softened him once or twice. He sat behind the bookcase and sneered repeatedly, but he had already left his hands behind, since this matter could not be good at home, he had to stab it to the sky. Over the years, he has been immersed in officialdom for a long time, what kind of ruthless and filthy spirit has never been seen, the wind and waves have passed through more than a few, he thought that this box could stop him, but he forgot what kind of temperament he was, and wanted to rub him round and flatten, but there was no door!
The auspicious pestle was on the side, looking at Lin Jinlou was first warm and affectionate, with spring in his eyebrows, and then suddenly his eyes were full of hideous cold, and he couldn't help but feel worried, and gave the book a dye eye, which means: "Uncle, what's wrong?" Shuran stood on the other side with his hands in his hands, and also gave him a look: "Stay honest, don't talk too much, don't you see that the sky has changed on your face." ”
The two of them were eyebrow-raising, only to hear Shuangxi say at the door: "Uncle, Mr. Kang has arrived." ”
Lin Jinlou said: "Please come in." ”
Kang Shiyuan pushed the door and entered, greeting him. Lin Jinlou waved his hand, gave up his seat in his mouth, and offered tea auspiciously, Lin Jinlou said: "I invited you here today to let Mr. go out to do something on my face." As he spoke, he took a stack of "The Biography of Lanxiang Laymen" from the bookcase and pushed it to Kang Shiyuan and said: "This afternoon, Mr. took a trip to the north of the city with a heavy gift and this stack of opera books, Aunt Xia, who originally taught the four girls at home, lives there, and now she enters the palace to serve the nobles, and goes home to live for a while every month, and today is the day she goes home." Mr. took my post and asked her to bring this trick book into the palace for the Queen Mother to see, and it was best to find a way to ask the troupe to sing it to the Queen Mother according to the book, and thank her for the gift. ”
Kang Shiyuan understood when he came to the ground first, the soles of his feet were cold, he almost broke his beard, and said in a lost voice: "Master, do you want both Master Lin and Master Lin to agree?" ”
Lin Jinlou snorted in his nose: "I promised to pay for this matter." Two fingers knocked on the table, and said meaningfully, "Please Aunt Xia bring a message to the Queen Mother, just say that now the two of us are in deep love, but Xianglan is from a humble background, it is inevitable to attract gossip, and please ask the Queen Mother to make a good deed." ”
Kang Shiyuan raised his sleeve to wipe the cold sweat on his forehead, this master, he really dares to think and dare to do it. I also saw Lin Jinlou go to read the book and said: "When Aunt Xia lived at home, you had a very good relationship with her, you went with Mr. Kang, it is more convenient for women to talk to each other, how to say and do, you just listen to Mr. Kang." ”
Shuran was already dumbfounded, and his mouth responded, and a big wave was set off in his heart, and he said secretly: "My mother-in-law, Amitabha!" Xianglan, the seed of a slave and maid, is really going to soar at this time! Thinking about the past carefully, I can't help but be glad that my words and deeds have nothing to do with Xianglan, and I have saved a lot of favors.
Lin Jinlou discussed carefully with Kang Shiyuan again, instructed Shudye to dye the book, and then ordered them to go, and ordered them to prepare horses, and brought a stack of "The Biography of Lanxiang Laymen" to personally ask to see the prince. Leave it at that.
But it was said that in the small incense temple of the Lin family, Su Meiru was lying on the bed with a cloak, the door curtain was opened, and a fifty-year-old mother-in-law walked in, who was short and fat, and was waiting by Su Meiru's side, called Mrs. Meng, with a tray in her hand, and said, "Auntie, the food is here." He put the tray on the bedside table, helped her up, and fed her two sips of warm tea.
Su Meiru squinted at it, and saw four kinds of dishes, although the chicken, duck and fish were all leftovers, she couldn't help but be angry from her heart, and hated: "How can this be for people to eat!" My aunt and grandmother lived for a lifetime, and they didn't eat surplus vegetables! As he spoke, tears rolled in his eyes and fell.
Mrs. Meng hurriedly comforted: "Auntie, don't cry, why don't you add some silver to make another kitchen with a headache?" ”
Su Meiru cried: "My clothes, money and silver are all in the wing, and I haven't brought anything out, and there are still some ladders in Jinling, where can I still call around me now." ”
Mrs. Meng said with a smile: "Grandma, the so-called icing on the cake is easy, but it is difficult to send charcoal in the snow, and now there is really a close friend of my aunt and grandmother who has come to bring food to my aunt." After that, he got up and opened the curtain of the door, only to see a woman wearing a cloak coming in, removing the hood from her head, revealing a face with heavy makeup, and smiling slightly: "My good sister, I want to die." "This man is a thrush!
It turned out that the matter was revealed that day, the thrush fled with his biological mother, and went down the river by boat, but unexpectedly encountered water bandits, and in the panic, the thrush's mother fell into the river and drowned. Because of his beauty, the thrush was accepted by Wu Biao, the leader of the bandits. What a scheming thrush, she is worried that she has no way out, so she took advantage of the situation to be the lady of the village, she has some knowledge, and she is very good at talking and coaxing people, and she is even happy with Wu Biao. However, Lin Jinlou governed the army strictly, pacified the bandits along the river, and the means were thunderous, Wu Biao gradually felt that he was at the end of the road, just as Lin Jinlou entered Beijing, the thrush made a plan and said: "Master Wu doesn't have to be annoyed, now that the overlord is gone, it is his second uncle Lin Changmin who patrols Cao, this person is a ruffian habit, greedy for money and stingy, it is better to pull his line, send real money and silver, and ensure peace of mind." At the moment, he inquired about Lin Changmin's outer room, so he sent a heavy gift to Su Meiru, there is a way to "open the door and don't give gifts", Su Meiru is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and he became familiar with it after coming and going. Lin Changmin didn't dare at first, so Su Meiru sneered: "The master is so confused, where did he get the silver when he was a Qing official, he has been rich and dangerous since ancient times, and he can only stand up straight with money in his hand, not to mention that your nephew is not there, who can know?" It's better to take a big sum of money and stop it when your nephew comes back, and before you know it, the money will be in your pocket. Lin Changmin was moved, he collected a sum first, and found that there was nothing wrong with him for a few days, and he collected a few more sums one after another, and then he couldn't stop anymore, wantonly amassing money, and allowing Wu Biao to smuggle and traffic on the river, killing people and goods.
This Su Mei is like a thrush and is also very familiar, and they are all called sisters, but they don't know that the thrush was originally Lin Jinlou's concubine. Su Meiru saw that the thrush was coming, as if she had met a relative, she couldn't help but burst into tears, struggled and choked up: "Sister Mei"
The thrush hurriedly stepped forward, supported Su Meiru and said: "Don't get up, I heard that Mrs. Meng sent a letter saying that you were sick, so I couldn't rest assured, fortunately this is a temple, I made the silver, and quietly came in to see you." As he spoke, he opened the suitcase in his hand and said, "Let's use some snacks first." ”
Su Meiru took a look, and saw that the three layers of the box were all meticulous meals, hot porridge and fresh soup, steaming, and couldn't help dripping tears, holding the thrush's hand and choking up: "Now at this time, I know who is a good person."
The thrush comforted softly: "Don't cry anymore, eat some food first, and it's not too late to raise another one when your body is better." ”
Su Meiru cried: "Birth? Didn't you see that the Lin family left me in this temple and ignored me, this is going to blow the lamp and pull out the wax! ”
Thrush sneered: "To put it mildly, the Lin family is not a thing, the second master can have today, all thanks to his sister's support, and now he will leave you aside if he doesn't need it, my sister is here, all kinds of grievances, he even eats and drinks without asking." If it were me, I would have to take you out even if I tried my best, this is the place to cultivate my body! ”
Su Meiru only felt that every sentence in her heart was more and more choked up. The thrush comforted a few words, ordered Mrs. Meng to fetch a basin of water, personally wrung a hot towel for Su Meiru to wipe her face and hands, and sighed: "It's a pity that this beautiful girl is like a flower and jade, look at what it has become, let us worry too." Handed over a target glass, Su Meiru looked at the mirror, only to see that the cheeks were sick, thin into one, and the eyes were blue, although they were still beautiful, they were far less than in the past, and they couldn't help but whimper and shed tears again, and suddenly stopped crying, wiped away the tears on their faces, and said hatefully: "It's the Lin family that caused me to do this!" ”
The thrush combed Su Meiru's hair very gently, and said: "No, the Lin family has failed you, my sister should have collected debts a long time ago!" If my sister listens to me, she will be prosperous and prosperous for a lifetime. ”
Su Meiru couldn't help asking, "What?" ”
Thrush curled her hair into a homely bun, sat down in front of Su Meiru, and saw that there was no one around, Fang said in a low voice: "Seeing that Lin Jinlou is about to go back to Jinling, I'm afraid that he will go back, we will not have a good time, sooner or later the incident will happen, Lin Changmin is his second uncle, he can't do anything, but you and I can't keep it." It's better to use his hand to cut with a knife before he goes back.
Su Meiru was taken aback, and said with wide eyes: "This, how can this work?" ”R1152
