Chapter 157 Too Many Invitations
"Mom, aren't there servants in the house? Why do you ask the third brother to clean it?" Xu Minghao said with some distress.
The General's Mansion is quite large, and walking around it is tiring, let alone cleaning it.
"Who says a young master can't clean? If you feel sorry for him, then accompany him to the punishment. Clean the tables, chairs and benches for me. I'll see who dares to run away from home next time. Be careful, I'll break your legs.
!" Lin Shuran said fiercely with a straight face.
But her "cruelness" not only did not scare the children of the Xu family, but they all laughed kindly. Lin Shuran really regarded them as her own children, so she said this deliberately. Xu Minghan was even more moved.
Neither Xu Junze nor Lin Shuran felt that he was a burden.
"Didn't Mom just say that as a family we should share blessings and share hardships, so we will accompany our third brother to suffer the punishment together!" Xu Mingchen, the eldest brother, suggested, which was also agreed by the other brothers, who all said that we should suffer the punishment together.
.
"No, I can do it myself!" Xu Minghan's nose was sore and tears almost fell, but he held it back. It was him who Lin Shuran wanted to punish, and he couldn't let his brothers be punished for him. At the same time, he also assured Lin Shuran,
"Mom, I won't run around anymore. This is my home. No matter what happens, I will protect my family!"
Lin Shuran nodded happily. Xu Minghan seemed to have passed his first hurdle, but the Fang family's case brought up the Ren family's case. She hoped that the matter could be properly resolved as soon as possible, and she hoped that Xu Minghan would not be involved.
Go in, because she will also protect her family well.
The emergence of one hundred thousand elite dragon-armored guards shocked so many people. Whether they were common people or officials, the nobles and nobles all suddenly became cautious and trembling. The dragon-armored guards only obeyed the emperor's orders, and each of them had extraordinary martial arts. They were an army.
The truly superior Imperial Division even spread rumors the next day that there were far more than 100,000 Dragon Armor Guards.
In the morning, the emperor, who had been timid in the face of persecution and pressure from his ministers, suddenly toughened his attitude, and the new decree on land was re-implemented. This time, the emperor was no longer restrained by officials, and strictly ordered anyone who disrespected the decree to be punished.
, investigate and handle in accordance with the law, show no mercy, kill those who deserve to be killed, exile those who deserve to be exiled, and dismiss those who deserve to be dismissed from office. For a while, everyone in the court was in danger and did not dare to say anything.
Next comes the mighty moment when the Dragon Armored Guards slaughter everyone in the capital. Whether it is the palace or the capital, their figures can be seen everywhere, and when they appear, someone will surely suffer.
Although Dingyuan Marquis Wei Qianjie and Prime Minister Chen Yan also secretly united some officials to resist the emperor's approach, this time the emperor was like a willful child. No one could control what he would do next, let alone
Young officials also sided with the emperor, and the people even supported the new decree.
With the people's support, compliance with public opinion, and the escort of the Dragon Armor Guards, the emperor's new decree was implemented smoothly as never before.
As the supreme commander of the Longjia Guard, Xu Junze only hurriedly went home and changed his clothes before continuing to go out and work. The emperor gave Xiao Chen full authority to investigate the Fang family's case, and no one else was allowed to interfere.
The Fang family's affairs have come to an end for the time being. Lin Shuran plans to go to the farm to live for a while, because the seeds she planted before have sprouted. Although she has told Zhang Tang and the others how to plant them, she is still worried. After all, these are rare things.
Seed.
"Madam, I'm afraid you won't be able to live in a farm for free!" Lin Shuran is obviously the mistress of a wealthy family, but she thinks about living in a farm in the suburbs every day. This is something that Granny Zhang doesn't understand, but she is a loyal person.
As a servant, you still have to say what you need to say.
Lin Shuran asked her puzzledly: "Mother Zhang, why is this?"
Nanny Zhang smiled helplessly, took out a dozen thick invitations, placed them on the table in front of Lin Shuran and said: "These are the invitations sent to you by various governments in the capital in the past two days, inviting you to be a guest in their houses!
"
Since the implementation of the new government order, the General's Mansion has offended many people and received fewer and fewer invitations. Lin Shuran didn't like to participate in these social activities, so Aunt Zhang didn't say much. Now Xu Junze has become
After defeating the commander-in-chief of the Dragon Armor Guard, everyone began to fawn over him again.
It's just that Xu Junze is a selfless person who doesn't like to attend banquets, and he's also upright and hard to talk to, so the governments have turned their attention to Lin Shuran, the general's wife.
"Is that so much?" Lin Shuran glanced at the invitations.
Nanny Zhang was about to reply when she saw Chunxi bring another stack of invitations and said that they had just been received. Now there was an endless stream of people sending invitations outside the gate of the General's Mansion. The housekeeper Xu An asked the boy guarding the gate to prepare them specially.
A large wooden box, from which these invitations were specially selected, including those from princesses and princes, princes and princes, and officials of third rank or above. In short, the family should be higher.
Not only that, even Xu Mingchen, Xu Mingfan and other children also received invitations, especially Xu Mingfan, who was a student of the Imperial College, received a lot of invitations.
"Mom, what should I do with these?" Xu Mingfan came to Lin Shuran and found that her table was filled with invitations from various governments, and he also had a lot of them in his hand. He was not very familiar with these people. Suddenly,
I don’t know what to do, should I go or not?
Lin Shuran also looked at him worriedly, and beckoned Xu Mingfan to sit down on the chair next to her. The invitations in his hands were also placed on the table. The mother and son looked at the invitations on the table, and they moved in unison.
He raised his chin and looked at them awkwardly.
"Alas -" the two of them sighed in unison.
Lingqin and Feiyue didn't say anything at the side. They looked at each other and then at Lin Shuran and Xu Mingfan. They both felt that it was not a difficult choice. If they wanted to go, they could go. If they didn't want to, they could go.
What Lin Shuran was thinking was that if she didn't go to the banquet, it would only bring trouble to the general's office, which would be of no benefit to her or the Xu family. What's more, this was also a good opportunity for her to get closer to the various governments in the capital. If
Let's all go, she hasn't had a good time this year, so what will happen to those precious seeds in her farm?!
After thinking about it, Lin Shuran breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Xu Mingfan with determination and said: "They have sincerely invited us. It would be too rude if we didn't go. Let's do this. You can choose a few and decide for yourself."
If you want to make friends with classmates or teachers, please go and visit me. I will do it according to my status. This is also in line with common sense, so as not to be criticized by others, and it can also save a lot of trouble."
"Children listen to their mothers!" Xu Mingfan hurriedly stood up and replied. In fact, he also thought so in his heart.
Chapter completed!
