Chapter 160: Twists and Turns
Ang Lee's illness, under Su Lin's conditioning, has improved significantly. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoOn the fifth day, Su Xun's middle brother Su Lian actually came back. There are also two friends of Su Lian, who have a good relationship with the Su family, one Song Fu and the other Chen Xiliang.
Of course, Su Lin didn't know these two people. They are all in their thirties and forties, and they have been officials for many years. Song Fu is an ordinary person, while Chen Xiliang is short and thin, with a cold face, his eyes are as clear as water, and his speech is categorical. When Su Xun saw him coming, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Several people arrived in the morning, and Su Lin went to the Li Mansion in the morning. Several people were discussing in the study, and Su Jian said: "Second brother, I have already read the letter you wrote to me. I'm afraid this matter is against the way of a gentleman, and it's not appropriate. ”
Su Xun heard Brother Zhong say this, but he actually didn't know the bottom of his heart. But the sake is popular, and the wealth is moving. I'm scared of living a poor life, and it's false to say that I don't like it. "I can't make up my mind about this matter, so I called Brother Zhong to discuss it together. It just so happens that Brother Gongbi and Brother Guangshan are here, let's discuss it together. ”
Song Fu and Chen Xiliang heard it, although this was a family matter of the Su family, they were not easy to mix. But if Su Xun doesn't mind, they might as well give an idea.
At this time, Chen Xiliang said: "Brother Mingyun, Xiliang feels that this matter is indeed inappropriate, this is no different from taking advantage of the fire to rob." You and I are both scholars, and if this spreads, I'm afraid it won't be good for my reputation. After Chen Xiliang finished speaking, Song Fu also nodded yes on the side.
Su Xun also has this worry in his heart, they are all scholars. They can't do this kind of cunning and plundering thing. But his wife is very excited, and the Cheng family is also very active. On the CD side, he also said that as long as he decided, he would write a letter to Zhang Heting. Especially CD Zhang Ping, who has a good relationship with Ouyang Xiu. But his brother disagreed, and Su Xun was in a dilemma at this time.
Mrs. Cheng has been watching secretly, seeing that her husband is about to be persuaded. couldn't help but be a little anxious, although she was sensible. But she didn't think it was a big deal. If you don't know how expensive firewood and rice are, Su Xun and they won't feel how important this is, at least not as important as their name. Literati are like this, or how can they be useless scholars.
Just then, Su Lin returned. When Mrs. Cheng saw that she was back, she hurriedly grabbed her and explained the situation. Su Lin frowned when she heard this, "I will treat Li An, and he will pay for the consultation." And it was they who agreed to my request first, and I treated Ang Lee. Besides, we have also set up a written note, which makes sense of reason. ”
"Yes, but your uncle is a scholar, and he only thinks about his own reputation, and he doesn't know how to run the house. They only care about the scenery outside, how can they understand the difficulties of our women's family. Lin'er, you have to think of a way, this matter can't just be left alone. ”
Su Lin didn't say anything when she heard it, with her current situation, what could she do. If the conspiracy doesn't work, do you want to use conspiracy? But this was not Su Lin's intention, in fact, this kind of thing was very common at this time. Those landlords and gentry can have a few good things, but in the end it is the common people who are exploited.
Mrs. Cheng saw that Su Lin didn't speak, and her ability to be a woman was limited. This thing seems simple, but it is actually not easy to operate. Li Guocheng has nothing over there, mainly Zhang Heting. If there were no officials to give the Su family a position, the Su family would not have any practical benefits at all.
Su Lin thought about it for a long time, but decided to meet Su Lian and them first. So I went back to my room, changed my clothes, and went to the study. This matter was originally Su Lin's idea, so Su Xun didn't make too many excuses.
Su Lin stepped to the door of the study and knocked on them. Someone inside answered, and Su Lin entered the house. "Su Lin has seen uncles and two uncles." As soon as several people saw Su Lin coming, they all looked up at Su Lin. At this time, Su Lin did not wear a veil, and at the age of eighteen or nineteen, she was slim and elegant, which made people very excited.
"Oh? Are you the niece of our family's new acquaintance, I heard that you even rejected the official family, but now you are really not a mortal. Su Jian said, with some unfriendliness in his words. When Su Lin heard this, he asked how he knew. In fact, Su Lin's appearance at that time also caused a storm. With Bao Zheng mixed in it, it is difficult for them to think about it or not.
Su Lian's attitude was obvious, he didn't like Su Lin. This woman can save face for his boss, and let her younger brother do this kind of thing that violates the way of a gentleman, which is inconsistent with the Su family's family style. Su Xun saw that his heart was broken, Su Lin's identity was already up for debate, and she was included in the Su family's genealogy, and some of them were the emperor's face. I didn't discuss it with my family at the beginning, after all, a woman doesn't have to make a big deal.
But is Su Lin an ordinary woman? Now if my brother turns his face, with Su Lin's ability, the Su family is afraid that he will not be able to please him. Thinking of this, Su Xun hurriedly came out to play a round. "Brother Zhong, what are these words, I also saw that Lin'er was alone and had no relatives and no reason, so I couldn't bear to pick her up. Since Lin'er has entered the Su family, she is a member of the Su family. Besides, everything Lin'er did was also for the Su family, so Brother Zhong shouldn't be too careful. ”
Su Jian listened, snorted coldly and stopped speaking.
