My Ancient Stepson Bootcamp

Chapter 45
The government of Zhen Guo will hold a Cuju party at the end of each year, and the guests who attend the banquet will prepare certain prizes. The winning team will not only get a golden belt from the host, but also exchange all the prizes for Food was distributed to beggars and poor people in the city.

However, Nanny Zhang told Lin Shuran that there is an age limit for the cuju club in the town government's mansion, and they must be young people between 12 and 16 years old.

Lin Shuran vaguely remembered that there was such a rule, and it seemed that the Cuju Club in Zhen Guogong's mansion had been held many times, but the memories belonging to the original owner were always sporadic, and she couldn't remember clearly.

"Why is that?" Lin Shuran thought about the general aristocrats holding this kind of banquet, isn't it mainly for viewing and entertainment, why do they require the age of the participants.

Nanny Zhang looked at Lin Shuran in astonishment. It seemed that there were many things that my lady couldn't remember. She had forgotten that Master Gu and Master Xiao had participated in the Cuju Club held by the Duke of Zhen since they were 12 years old. I always cheer for them at the scene.

But Nanny Zhang still told her that the Lei family of the Duke of Zhen was born as a military general, so the children in the family were idle and did not want to make progress, so they thought of holding a Cuju meeting. And too old and afraid of losing the atmosphere of reunion and joy, he has the right to be a child in colorful clothes to entertain his relatives, but this Cuju Club has changed from a self-entertainment of Lei's family to a large banquet that all noble children in Beijing love to attend. Even the children of the royal family who have reached the age will lead the team to participate.

After listening to Nanny Zhang's words, Lin Shuran understood the reason, and then asked Chunxi to send a message to Xu Mingchen and the others to see if any of them were willing to go to the Zhen Guogong's mansion with her for a banquet.

Unexpectedly, Xu Mingchen, Xu Minghao and the others gathered in her courtyard when they heard that they were going to the Zhen Guogong's mansion for a banquet this year. Even Xu Mingye had to brace himself to show that he was going to the banquet.

"Mother, are we really allowed to participate this year?" Xu Minghao looked very excited. Although he is also a son of a wealthy family, he has never participated in the Cuju meeting of the Zhen Guogong Mansion, because Xu Junze refused to go after accepting the invitation. , they had no chance to see it.

"Participating?" Lin Shuran thought that they might have misunderstood, so she explained, "No, I asked you to go to the banquet with me, and then we can just watch from the sidelines, and you can also add color. You take more silver."

"How about just watching!" Xu Minghao pouted first, and approached Lin Shuran deliberately coquettishly, and said with a flattering face, "Mother, let us also participate in the Cuju competition, didn't you see it when you were in the farm?" , Brother, they played cuju really well!"

At this time, Lin Shuran raised his eyes to look at Xu Mingchen, and found that his eyes were bright and full of expectation, but he resisted not to say it, as if he was afraid that Lin Shuran would embarrass him.

"Brother Chen, do you also want to participate in the Cuju competition at the Duke's Mansion?" Now Lin Shuran and Xu Mingchen are getting closer, and their names have gradually changed.

In the past, Xu Mingchen might have considered a lot and hesitated, but ever since Lin Shuran told him that he should hold his head up and do things, he has also thought about it a lot these days, and feels that he has grown up and should really take responsibility. He can't live forever. Under Xu Junze's wings, he also wanted to train himself a lot, only when he became really strong could he protect his family members.

"Mother, my child wants to participate!" Xu Mingchen said with firm eyes, and Xu Minghao and the others became even more excited when they heard it.

"However, Cuju will have regulations. You must be at least [-] years old, and six people must participate. Only you and Brother Ye are old enough in the family. But he is not in good health, so he must not be able to participate. Temporarily form a team with other people. Is it?" Lin Shuran expressed concern, of course the focus is on participation, she doesn't expect the children to win.

"Oh, mother, why did you forget Da Zhu and Er Zhu? As long as they form a team with Big Brother, they will be invincible!" Xu Minghao said with a smile, waving his small fists.

"There are heaven and man outside the sky, and there are people outside the sky. How can there be no invincibility in the world!" Lin Shuran looked at Xu Minghao helplessly and smiled, and then said with a serious face, "Remember, a proud soldier must be defeated. No matter what time you can't underestimate the enemy, it's just what I plan to do today." Let’s go to the farm, Brother Chen will come with me, ask Da Zhu if they are willing to go to the Cuju meeting with you.”

"Mother is going to the farm, and I'm going too, and I'm going too!" Xu Minghao is now like a plaster, very sticky, and Xu Mingxuan who is watching is a little envious.

So, Lin Shuran took them back to the farm. After arriving at the farm, Xu Mingchen and the others went to find Dazhu and the others, and he came to the small garden in the farm. She hadn't forgotten the gift she wanted to give to the queen mother.

At this time, the flowers and plants in this small garden have all fallen and covered with snow, waiting for the next spring to recover. However, there is also a greenhouse in the small garden, where the temperature is suitable, and the camellias, pansies, and strelitzias are in full bloom. The new variety that Lin Shuran has carefully cultivated here for three years is not only colorful and colorful, but also resistant to cold and drought.

In the Jin Dynasty, the pansy was generally small, and the Strelitzia plant was too tall, but the camellia was not only rare in the Jin Dynasty, but also regarded as a valuable medicinal material, especially the pearl camellia she cultivated in front of her. Not only the flowers are red and colorful, but also the medicinal value is much higher than that of ordinary Baozhu camellia.

Not only that, she also used grafting technology to cultivate more varieties of Baozhu camellia, and some camellias can bloom in various colors on a camellia tree.

Lin Shuran chose a new five-color Baozhu camellia that was successfully grafted. The flowers are in five colors: red, white, yellow, pink, and purple. The buds are all half-opened. It will be in full bloom in two days. extreme.

Instruct Zhang Tang to pack the Baozhu Camellia according to the method he said, and he will take it back to the General's Mansion in a while.

On the other side, Dazhu and the others heard that they were going to participate in the Cuju meeting. They had heard about it for a long time and they were very happy. They immediately expressed their willingness to form a team with Xu Mingchen. In the few days before the banquet, Xu Mingchen and the others decided to stay in the farm I practice Cuju here.

Lin Shuran respected their decision, and returned to the mansion first with a gift for the Queen Mother. When the younger ones heard that Xu Mingchen and the others had stayed in the farm, they also clamored to go. Lin Shuran promised them that the weather would be warmer after the new year. Take them to live in the farm for a while.

"Are you going to take them to the banquet at the Duke's Mansion?" When Xu Junze came back from the outside, he heard from Xu An that Lin Shuran had decided to attend the Cuju meeting at the Duke's Mansion in a few days, and that Xu Mingchen and the others would also go.

"Yes!" Originally, she planned to tell Xu Junze about this, "And the children want to form a team to participate in the Cuju competition at the banquet, and I agree, what's your opinion?"
