Chapter 110

Su Mei hurried to help Liu Lingshan up, took Liu Lingshan's hand, and said with a smile, "Cousin Shan'er, get up and talk first."

Mrs. Chen kept wiping away her tears with a handkerchief, and sighed, "I'm the one who dragged Shan'er down. Your uncle left that little thing when he left early. After your grandfather passed away, he also left it for our mother and son." I bought a little bit, but I don’t know anything, and the taste of soup and medicine is always on my body, and the money can’t be taken in, but I’m just sitting on the mountain, seeing that my life is going to be hard, so Shan’er wants to beg you.”

When Chen said she was excited, Pazi covered her mouth and coughed a few times: "Shan'er is a filial child, it's just that our mother and daughter are causing trouble for Zhen'er, but it doesn't matter if Zhen'er is inconvenient, Shan'er and I will be together again." Go think of another way."

Since the death of her eldest uncle, Chen has been guarding her daughter and never remarried. She raised her daughter alone, and her life must have been difficult.

After the death of the grandfather, the power of housekeeping has fallen into the hands of the second housekeeper, Heshi. Heshi is mean and ungrateful, and the second uncle is weak and bully. Life in the mansion is not as good as a servant.

The dresses on Chen and Liu Lingshan are all washed out, and the original color can no longer be seen clearly. Liu Lingshan is only 17 years old. Girls at this age are just in love with beauty, and her hands are already extremely rough. , it must be that the life of the mother and daughter is really difficult. Chen is weak and sick, and has no money to hire servants, so he can only do everything by himself.

Su Mei sympathized with what happened to Chen's mother and daughter, she nodded and agreed without thinking too much.

Su Mei took a sip of tea and said, "It's not easy to run a shop. If Cousin Shan'er is willing, I welcome it. I plan to open another clothing store in a few days. There must be insufficient staff in the shop." , with my cousin Shan'er coming to help, I can save my worries. Of course, my cousin will not do things for nothing. I will give my cousin 20 taels of silver as wages every month. When my cousin gradually gets familiar with the things in the shop, I will let her My cousin takes over a shop, is my cousin willing?"

Liu Lingshan was so moved that tears filled her eyes, she nodded repeatedly: "I am willing, my cousin is the savior of my mother and me, I will definitely work hard."

Su Mei nodded, and said to Chen Shi: "I heard that my cousin is going to get married next month. I have prepared a small gift for my cousin, and I ask my aunt and cousin to accept it."

She said to Jin Chuan again: "Go and fetch that set of jewelry."

This is a set of jadeite jewelry, a pair of jadeite bracelets, a jadeite earring, and a pair of jadeite pendants. Judging from the fineness of the jade, one can tell that it is top grade.

Chen and Liu Lingshan refused to accept anything, Liu Lingshan refused repeatedly: "I really can't accept such an expensive gift, my cousin has helped Shan'er too much, if Shan'er is not satisfied, this gift is accepted, Shan'er It will also make you feel uneasy.”

Liu Lingshan and Liu Jiaying's temperaments are very different. Comparing the two, Liu Lingshan has received a good upbringing since she was a child, and the Chen family taught her daughters well, while Liu Jiaying was spoiled by the He family.

Liu Lingshan refused to accept what she said, so Su Mei had no choice but to take off the shrimp beard bracelet on her wrist and put it on Liu Lingshan's hand. After all, Liu Lingshan accepted the bracelet.

Su Mei was teaching Liu Lingshan to read the account book, and Chen Shi was also helping in the shop. Liu Jiaying's wedding sedan chair passed by the door of the Liujin Pavilion. Chen Shi pulled Su Mei aside and whispered: "Zhen'er, I know that today is Jiaying's eldest daughter." wedding day."

Su Mei nodded, and He Shi told everyone that Liu Jiaying had found a good marriage, wishing that everyone in the world would know how happy her daughter was.

He Shi came to the Liujin Pavilion yesterday to tell Su Mei about this matter. The meaning behind the words is that Liu Jiaying married the Xu family in the future, and since then she has lived a life that everyone envies. In the end, she even satirized her A few words before leaving.

"I heard that Xu's family has a big business, and there are many farms and shops in the family. It seems that the second aunt must be very satisfied with this marriage."

Mrs. Chen looked at the lively welcoming team passing by outside the door, and said with a smile: "That's not it! She is naturally satisfied with the marriage that the siblings have chosen so many times, but I heard that there seems to be something wrong with Xu Yuanshan. "Chen pointed to his head and whispered.

Su Mei was taken aback, raised her eyebrows lightly, "Really?"

Mrs. Chen nodded and said: "A nephew of my natal family knows Xu Yuanshan, and it's not a secret that he has brain problems, you just need to ask a little bit to find out, although he looks no different from normal people, but if he goes crazy. "

Chen shi hesitated to speak, only hearing the joy of the big wedding fading away, she leaned into Su Mei's ear and said, "I heard that he beat someone to death."

Su Mei thought for a while and said, "Then does Second Aunt know about this?"

Mrs. Chen shook her head and said: "Probably doesn't know. The siblings love Jiaying very much. If they knew, how could she agree to this marriage."

Su Mei and Chen Shi looked at each other and smiled, then stopped talking and continued to work on the business in the shop. No one would tell He Shi about Xu Yuanshan's mental problems, and she had offended too many people, and those people only wanted to Watch her jokes.

……

Later, Lin Liangchen came to the Liujin Pavilion to look for Su Mei. After the flower viewing feast that day, they never met again. On that day, Lin Liangchen blatantly protected Lin Sujin, and Su Mei lost a good impression of him. Today In order to avoid suspicion, Su Mei avoided him as much as she could, and only wanted to send him away as soon as possible, so as not to anger Jiang Ling.

Su Mei treated her coldly, but Lin Liangchen was not annoyed, he first folded his sleeves and said: "What happened that day was my fault, I will apologize to Miss Su first."

He came forward, shaking his folding fan, and said in a low voice: "I learned that Miss Su is looking for her brother's whereabouts, so I came here to tell Miss Su that I got news about Qin Sanlang by chance."

Ever since she came to Yangzhou City, Su Mei had lost contact with Qin Luan. That day she overheard Mu Feng's words. After learning that her brother was seriously injured and fell off a cliff, she couldn't sleep all night because she had no way to inquire about him. I can't eat well, and I can't sleep well.

Su Mei's eyes turned red without realizing it, and the corners of those red eyes seemed to be about to shed tears. She hurriedly asked: "Where is my third brother now? Is his life in danger?"

After Lin Liangchen looked around, he lowered his voice and said: "This is not a place to talk. There are too many people here, and there are mixed fish and dragons. If the news is leaked out, I'm afraid it will be detrimental to Qin Sanlang. Miss Su, please move to Cuizhuxuan to talk."

Cuizhuxuan is Lin Liangchen's elegant courtyard in Yangzhou City. Lin Liangchen has elegant taste, and this courtyard is his private property.

There are dense green bamboos, and the small bamboo building is hidden in the bamboo forest. The windows of the bamboo building are covered with blue gauze, which is an excellent place to enjoy the cool air in summer.

Half an hour later, Su Mei's carriage slowly stopped in front of Cuizhuxuan's door.

Blue veils can be seen everywhere in the small bamboo building. Behind the veils, someone is playing a piano, and the fragrance of peach blossoms is wafting from the incense burner on the table.

The sound of the piano and the fragrance of flowers make people intoxicated.

In the glass vase on the desk table are a few bright peach blossoms that have just been picked from the branches.

The serving maid came in with tea, Lin Liangchen sat on the tuan on the ground, squinted his eyes, looked at Su Mei quietly and said with a smile: "Miss Su, please taste this tea."

Su Mei was eager to inquire about the whereabouts of the third brother, so she didn't have the heart to drink tea, so she asked: "Please tell Mr. Lin about the whereabouts of the third brother."
