Chapter 20 Princess Invitation
They found that Lin Shuran was very different from the aristocratic girls they met in the city. Here, no matter what your status, her attitude towards you was close and natural, but if someone made a mistake, she would also
The harsh side is daunting.
What surprised them even more was that Lin Shuran could actually climb trees. She didn't care at all about her image as the general's wife. Old farmers in the mountains would greet her warmly when they saw her. She also knew a lot of herbal medicines and could use weeds to cure them.
She can make delicious food, make bamboo rafts for rafting in the lake, make snacks from flowers, know how to make bows and arrows from wood in the mountains, and even her drawing skills are also very good.
Gradually, Lin Shuran successfully won the favor of all the brothers of the Xu family with her sincere attitude and versatile abilities, and the youngest ones were already inseparable from her.
"Mother, will you always be my mother?" That afternoon, Xu Mingsheng, who had enjoyed "maternal love" for a month, nestled against Lin Shuran's legs. At this time, Lin Shuran was sitting on a lounge chair in the courtyard, playing with Xu Mingfan's hand.
Tired of playing with the Nine Links.
Hearing Xu Mingsheng's question, she put down the nine-link ring in her hand, then stood up and pulled him in front of her. She looked at the little guy seriously with gentle eyes and said: "Once a mother and son, always a mother and son!"
Xu Mingsheng has a sensitive temperament and often worries about gains and losses. Now that he has finally tasted the feeling of being truly loved by others, he is afraid that he will lose it again. But at this time, Lin Shuran's firm answer gave him a great sense of security.
"Mother, can I call you mother?" The children in Zhuangzi all called their mothers mother, and he also wanted to call Lin Shuran that way, as if such a title could mean that he was Lin Shuran's true biological son.
"Of course!" Lin Shuran touched Xu Mingsheng's head softly, "As long as you want, you can do it anytime!"
"Mother--" Xu Mingsheng grinned, then threw himself into Lin Shuran's arms and hugged her tightly.
The mother and son hugged each other warmly. Xu Mingsong, who was not far away, looked at him with envy. At this time, Lin Shuran also waved to him and said: "Fifth brother, come quickly and let mother hug you too!"
Upon hearing this, Xu Mingsong's disappointed face immediately put on a smile, and he ran towards Lin Shuran and hugged her, shouting "Mother" in his mouth.
Soon, another month passed. At this time, the midwinter was approaching, and the mountains began to become even colder. The butler Xu An also came to the farm two or three times. Every time he hoped that Lin Shuran would take Xu Mingchen and the others back. Although Xu Mingchen had
They followed Lin Shuran to the farm. The capital was much calmer without the Xu family brothers who were causing trouble everywhere. However, there were a lot of invitations from various governments. His family rank was not as good as that of the General's Palace. He followed Lin Shuran's instructions in advance -
If someone doesn't arrive politely, he will be pushed if he can.
But there are many high-ranking officials and relatives in the capital. Even Xu Junze, the general, is hard to evade, let alone Lin Shuran, the wife of the general who is not yet at the imperial level. No, two invitations have been sent to the princess palace in the city.
Lin Shuran, the general's wife, went to a winter plum viewing feast.
"Can't you go?" Lin Shuran, who was wearing a purple coat and skirt, was fiddling with the charcoal fire in the house. She really had no interest in the "social interaction" of ancient people. First, she was worried that she would not be able to blend in. Second, there was not much memory left of Lin Shuran.
Many, she was also worried that her secret would be exposed, which was the main reason why she decided to live in the farm after marriage. After all, she was very familiar with it after living here for three years.
Xu An raised his head and glanced at Nanny Zhang, with a look of begging in her eyes. Nanny Zhang understood and walked up to Lin Shuran and said: "Miss, you are the general's wife now, and the princess is a royal noblewoman. She will give you a lot of help."
I'm afraid it won't be a good idea if you refuse the next two invitations. Moreover, I've heard that Princess Qingyang is a very serious person and her temper doesn't seem to be very good. There's no need to offend her.
.”
Lin Shuran didn't say anything, and fiddled with the charcoal fire for a while, and finally sighed softly and said, "Then let's go!"
Who made her become a "noble lady" in ancient times involuntarily? She couldn't hide from people all the time. What's more, she was not shameful, so she had to take the first step.
When he heard that Lin Shuran was going back to the city, Xu Minghao was the first to say that he would not leave. Although he had to go to school in the past two months in the farm, he would not have much fun the rest of the time. Even if he was out of breath from going into the mountains every day, he would still do it.
Stay here.
Xu Minghao won't leave, Xu Mingxuan won't leave, Xu Mingfan doesn't want to leave, and Xu Mingye also wants to stay for the first time, because A Lang, who has returned to the mountains, no longer wants to leave here, and has even become friends with the big yellow dog.
After asking around, no one was willing to leave, so Lin Shuran simply took Xu Shisan back to the city. Who told Xu Shisan that he couldn't live without her, and would cry when he couldn't see her at night, making all the wild beasts in the mountains howl?
It was so scary that everyone couldn't sleep.
Princess Qingyang's winter plum blossom viewing banquet was held in the Plum Garden on the Three Days Later, and all the guests invited were rich ladies from the capital.
As soon as they returned to the General's Mansion, Nanny Zhang was busy preparing Lin Shuran's clothes for the banquet, Xu An was busy preparing the gifts for the banquet, and Lin Shuran was busy getting familiar with the things in the capital that she was somewhat familiar with but were now completely unfamiliar with.
People of all kinds can't help but lose the face of the Lin and Xu family.
The next day, it snowed in the city for two consecutive days, and the plum blossom appreciation feast was held as usual. Chunxi gave Lin Shuran a popular woman's bun, and also gave her a jacquard satin and gold-woven jacket and skirt, with crimson rabbit fur on the outside.
The thick cloak set off her elegance and tranquility.
Lin Shuran made an appointment in advance with her mother Wenshi and sister-in-law Mingshi to arrive in Meiyuan. They had not seen each other for two months. The three of them were very affectionate when they met. Lin Shuran and Mingshi stood next to Wenshi, one on the left and the other on the right.
The people were quickly led into the Plum Garden by the maid of the Princess's Mansion.
At this time, there were already many guests in the plum garden. It was said to be a plum blossom appreciation feast, but the guests who entered the plum garden had no time to admire the plum blossoms that were already in full bloom. They were all chatting with each other warmly.
As soon as the Wen family entered the garden, they planned to pay their respects to their host, Princess Qingyang, but when they were halfway there, they were blocked by a gorgeously dressed woman.
"Mrs. Wen, what a coincidence!" The visitor smiled and came up to say hello. Before Wen could answer, she looked at Ming and Lin Shuran again. She just glanced at Ming from the corner of her eyes, and then she looked at her completely.
Putting it on Lin Shuran's body, he looked up and down and said, "This must be your little daughter who has just married into the general's palace. She is really beautiful. General Xu is really lucky."
"Shu Ran, this is the Duke of Qin's wife, you have to call me Aunt Sun!" Mrs. Wen nodded politely to Mrs. Sun, then turned sideways and said to Lin Shuran.
Lin Shuran stepped forward to salute Sun and said, "Shu Ran has met Aunt Sun!"
