Chapter 162 Entering the Assassin
I just learned that the marriage of Prince Wu'an and Princess Xiqing is scheduled for October 26th next month. Then I heard that the marriages of Dingyuan Houfu, Prince Ling's Mansion, the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the Duke of Qin's Mansion are also scheduled for next month.
It turned out to be October 26th as well.
"Miss, both families have chosen to get married on the same day, so which one should we go to for the wedding banquet then?" Chunxi held two red gilt wedding invitations, one from the Wu'an Hou Mansion and the other from the Dingyuan Hou Mansion.
They all invited Lin Shuran to attend the wedding on October 26th.
Lin Shuran took the two wedding invitations in her hands and looked at them. Unexpectedly, the two princes' houses were competing for a daughter-in-law, and the wedding was also at odds. Going to one house to attend the wedding banquet would definitely offend the other house. It is estimated that all the officials in the capital were at odds with her at this time.
Likewise, I received invitations from both families at the same time.
"Of course we are going to the Wu'an Marquis' Mansion. If the general doesn't want to attend the wedding banquet at the Dingyuan Marquis' Mansion, then let someone send him a gift. Anyway, the relationship between the General's Mansion and the Dingyuan Marquis' Mansion is not that good.
, it makes no difference whether you go or not." Lin Shuran could see clearly that Xu Junze was from the emperor's side, and Dingyuan Marquis and him probably wouldn't be able to share a table, so it wasn't a difficult choice.
However, other officials in the capital who received the invitation were really in trouble. Although the Dingyuan Hou Mansion was powerful, the Wu'an Hou Mansion should not be underestimated, and Wu'an Hou had always been on the emperor's side, but Dingyuan Hou deliberately
The purpose of choosing to marry his son on the same day was probably to see the attitude of the civil and military officials. That man is stingy, and there will be no good consequences for offending him in the future.
There was nearly a month left before October 26th. Lin Shuran accepted the wedding invitation and went to the farm. The autumn plowing had already ended, and she had to see with her own eyes the seedlings she had grown.
After arriving at the farm, Lin Shuran changed into clothes suitable for going to the field and went to the field. She had someone build a relatively simple greenhouse here. There was no plastic film in this time and space, so she first had people use grass shed roofs and
Fire chamber technology is used to ensure the temperature inside the greenhouse until the severe winter arrives.
This is also the best time to plant autumn yellow potatoes. Lin Shuran had come to the farm to raise seedlings alone. Although the potatoes dug out from Kuang's house were very small, the seedlings she carefully cultivated grew very well.
The sack of yellow potatoes brought back by the Kuang family can cover an acre of land.
These lands were plowed deeply with pond silt by Lin Shuran's instructions. They were very fertile and easy to water. The people from the farm would also promptly kill insects and weed them according to Lin Shuran's instructions.
Potatoes can usually be harvested in sixty to one hundred days, and the weather here in the Jin Dynasty is actually very suitable for growing potatoes all year round. Lin Shuran estimated that around the New Year, the potatoes on her acres of land will be able to see the light of day.
.
She is now planting high-yielding grains and vegetables, but even if she tells it now, no one will believe it. Just like when people from the Ministry of Revenue tell everyone that there is rice that can produce thousands of kilograms per acre, everyone thinks it is extremely deceptive.
What a joke, when one day she puts a mountain of food in front of everyone, everyone will naturally believe it without her having to say a word.
Lingqin first went forward to find out what was going on. When she came back, she told Lin Shuran that an assassin had entered the Princess Mansion. Princess Qingyang was almost killed by the assassin. Although the assassin escaped, he was also seriously injured. Now the Jingcheng Mansion and the Ministry of Punishment
Everyone is chasing this assassin.
"What's wrong with Hong Gu?!" Lin Shuran, who had just sat down, suddenly stood up from the chair and looked at Jing Niang anxiously and asked.
After a routine check, Lin Shuran's carriage entered the city gate and then returned to the General's Mansion. The sun had already set and the sky was getting dark. When they got home, Lin Shuran heard from Nanny Zhang that Jing Niang, the shopkeeper of the wine shop, had already arrived.
I have been waiting for her in the house for a long time.
When Lin Shuran arrived at the main hall in the backyard, Jing Niang was pacing back and forth in the hall anxiously. When she heard that the maid informed Lin Shuran that Lin Shuran had returned home, she hurried out to greet her.
Lin Shuran told her not to be polite. The master and the servant entered the hall, and Jingniang boldly asked to talk to Lin Shuran alone. Lin Shuran was confused, but still waved the others to leave, leaving only her and Jingniang in the hall.
mother.
Jing Niang didn't hesitate. She knew that Hong Gu trusted Lin Shuran, so she said, "Hong Gu was poisoned and injured very seriously. She must use Seven Snake Grass to detoxify her."
However, the corn seeds obtained from the Kuang family were not particularly large, and they were all planted on less than two acres of land. However, these were enough to give Lin Shuran great hope. Now it is two acres of seeds, and in the future it will be thousands of acres.
of corn.
"Where is Hong Gu now? Take me to see her immediately!" Lin Shuran couldn't sit still, and what was Seven Snake Grass? How come she had never heard of it? She was going to find Dr. Mei to follow her.
Honggu cures diseases.
Jingniang walked up to her and whispered: "Madam, Honggu was injured at the princess's residence!"
Lin Shuran not only planted potatoes in the farm, but also planted the wild corn seeds as soon as she took the seeds from the Kuang family. These overseas corn seeds seemed to be very adapted to the weather of the Jin Dynasty, and now they have
The ears are heading and the harvest will be ready in about a month.
"Why?" Lin Shuran felt strange that her medical skills were not good, but Dr. Mei's medical skills were very superb.
After staying in the farm for a day, Lin Shuran returned home. However, when she was approaching the city gate, she found that the interrogation at the city gate had become very strict.
At this time, Jingniang stopped her in time and said: "Madam, no, Hong Gu's injury cannot be known to others!"
"This slave has seen Madam!" Jing Niang hurriedly saluted, a trace of panic and uneasiness flashed in her eyes.
Lin Shuran didn't pay too much attention. She heard that Princess Qingyang had always been close to the Jianghu people, but she was not a well-known and upright person. In addition, Princess Qingyang had always had a reputation of being vicious and cruel, so it didn't matter if someone wanted to kill her.
Strange.
Seeing that there was no one else in the hall, Jingniang hurriedly knelt down and begged: "Please Madam, please take action to save Hong Gu!"
Lin Shuran's face turned serious, and when Jing Niang nodded slightly, she immediately understood what was going on. It turned out that the assassin caught in the city today was Hong Gu, and she was the one who wanted to kill Princess Qingyang.
"Do you know where you can find the Seven Snake Grass you mentioned?" Lin Shuran stopped. Jingniang came to her in a hurry. She must be of some help, otherwise Jingniang would have been looking for a way to rescue Hong Gu.
Sure enough, Jingniang said to her: "Madam, only Xuanqing Villa has the Seven Snake Grass in the world, but to go to Xuanqing Villa, you need the Black Water Token!"
So it turned out that Lin Shuran immediately got up and went to her room, took out the black water token given to her by the old man Hutan, and asked Jingniang: "Do you have a way to get the Seven Snakes to Xuanqing Villa as quickly as possible?"
Grass?"
