My Ancient Stepson Bootcamp

"Little sister, you have always been pure and kind. Don't you know that too many people in this world will do so many incredible things in pursuit of fame and fortune. Don't think too well of people's hearts, otherwise you will be the one who suffers." Concubine Yun used to be a simple and kind person, but after staying in the harem for a long time, the jealousy and intrigue among women gradually made her change her mind. If a person wants to protect himself and those he cares about, he must have a heart of defense .

"Sister, I know!" Lin Shuran said that she had listened to Concubine Yun's words, not to mention that she was not a little white rabbit, and would not blindly judge whether a person was a good person or a bad person.

Lin Shuran left the palace after having lunch, but at the gate of the palace, she ran into Xiao Chen who was also about to leave the palace.

Lin Shuran wanted to avoid him, but Xiao Chen walked towards her directly. His eyes looked a little excited, but he still tried his best to control his emotions. He really didn't expect that Lin Shuran, who had been married for more than a year, was still innocent. Originally, he wanted to bury this feeling for Lin Shuran deep in his heart forever, but now that feeling is just around the corner again.

"I've decided to make peace with Su Wanwan!" This was the first sentence Xiao Chen said when he saw Lin Shuran, this time his tone was very firm.

Lin Shuran stood still, she looked at Xiao Chen, her gaze was firm, and at the same time, her address to Xiao Chen changed from this moment on, she said to him: "Brother Xiao, I didn't intend to hurt your feelings, But today I want to tell you clearly that no matter before, now or in the future, I only regard you as a friend. Now I have a loved one in my heart. No matter what the rumors outside say, I always know that The feelings in my heart will not waver or hesitate. I hope that the two of us will not be misunderstood by others. I also hope that the matter between you and your husband can be resolved properly. Even if you don’t love, don’t make trouble to the point of hurting each other. That's all I want to say, I'm going home first!"

Xiao Chen stood there steadfastly watching Lin Shuran's leaving back, this time he didn't call out to her, her tone of voice was so decisive, Xiao Chen's face burst into frustration, probably he will never hear it from now on She sweetly called him "Brother Xiao", and the phrase "Brother Xiao" was even more alienated and unfamiliar than the phrase "Master Xiao", did she have Xu Junze in her heart so quickly?Why did she forget that the person Gu Jingcheng fell in love with again wasn't him!
Two days later, there was another light snowfall in the capital. At this time, there are less than ten days before the New Year, and all the houses and prefectures have already started to send out New Year's gifts.

This day, Tianmei also brought news of his investigation. He told Lin Shuran that Liang Shunzhong, the second housekeeper of Prince Ling's Mansion, had gone to Yunzhou with Lord Ling to handle the case of Ren's family, and the official of the Ministry of Punishment was Liang Shunzhong's brother-in-law.

Meilue made a small plan and learned from Liang Shunzhong's brother-in-law that Liang Shunzhong went to Yunzhou again. He said that the charcoal in Yunzhou was very good, so he went to choose charcoal for Lingwang's mansion. Just like making a fortune, he secretly set up a shop.

"It seems that Liang Shunzhong is the key. Can you find a way to learn about the origin of these little golden balls from him?" Lin Shuran looked at Mei, and he inquired about the news faster than he thought.

Yang Shi and Qiu Shi smiled knowingly, and joked: "When will your mother learn to do business, don't worry, we will definitely go to support her shop when the time comes, and I really like this screen, so I will make it when the time comes." The larger ones are placed in the hall."

"If madam likes it, my mother plans to open a wooden shop in the capital after the new year. There will be screens and incense boxes like this. You can go and see it with the concubine." Xu Mingchen took the opportunity to say with a smile.

"When did the Grand General's Mansion have such a powerful craftsman? The craftsmanship is really good. Take out the incense box and let me have a look!" Qiu said with a smile.

"These five-color camellias are rare to see. I didn't expect that sister Ran would be willing to send a pot to our house." In the mansion of the Duke of Zhen, Mrs. Yang, the wife of the Duke of Zhen, saw Lin Shuran and asked Xu Mingchen and Brother Xu Mingye to send one. She was overjoyed for the New Year of the Car gift, among which was the rumored five-color camellia.

"Your mother is really caring, this incense box is really beautiful!" Yang Shi also praised.

At this time, Xu Mingchen turned around and found a larger mahogany long box from the car that put the New Year's gift, then opened it and placed it in front of Mrs. Yang and Mrs. Qiu. Inside were two rows of wooden incense boxes of different shapes and sizes. , and the carvings on the incense box are very exquisite, and the shape is also very unique. I have never seen such a style in the capital before, but it makes people like it at the first sight.

"Just leave it to the subordinates!" Mei immediately understood Lin Shuran's meaning, and then retreated.

Lin Shuran specially explained this when he came here, taking advantage of the New Year plate gifts to various prefectures, and by the way, promoting it to the woodware shop that is about to open.

In the next few days, Lin Shuran also arranged for Xu Mingchen and the others to send New Year's gifts to each mansion. This year's New Year's gift prepared by the General's Mansion, in addition to the gourmet snacks made by Lin Shuran himself, they also sent a pot of precious five-color camellias to each family. , and there is also a very unique pocket double-sided carved screen, which is unique, exquisite and simple on the table.

The eldest concubine Qiu looked at the extremely delicate pocket screen in amazement, glanced at the Xu family brothers and said, "Although this screen is small, it can be seen that the craftsmen are very skilled. Your mother must have spent a lot of money, right?"

At this time, Xu Mingchen cupped his hands and saluted and replied: "As for the concubine, my mother said that it was made by craftsmen in her shop. This year, it will be available in the annual gifts of all the prefectures. In addition, mother also asked the craftsmen to make some incense boxes. It is said that it is most suitable for incense!"

Not only the Yang family said this, but even the masters who received the annual gift from the General's Mansion said this to the Xu family who went to give gifts. These people are all good people, how can they not see Lin Shuran's intentions? Well, the shrewd Mrs. General Xu asked them to support her new shop.

Lin Shuran is not afraid to let everyone know her intentions by sending gifts for the new year. Anyway, she is open to do business, and the first to join in the show must be acquaintances. When the time comes, give them the lowest price and sell her shop in the capital first. Let's talk about fame.

"Why do you want to start a carpentry shop?" Hong Gu didn't stay in the farm all the time after her health recovered, she returned to the General's Mansion, "I heard that the carpentry shop is very slow to survive, because it doesn't make much money Silver!"

"It's okay, Hong Gu, I don't open this shop mainly to sell to other people!" Lin Shuran smiled, if she had no other purpose, she would not want to open a wood shop in the capital.

"Then who are you going to sell it to?" Hong Gu asked.

"Sell it to the household department!" Lin Shuran acted as if it was a matter of course, and Honggu was at a loss and was very puzzled.
