Chapter 46 Getting Attention
"Up to you!" Xu Junze's simple two-word answer made Lin Shuran couldn't help but smile slightly this time, Xu Junze looked at her in surprise, is there something wrong with his answer?

Lin Shuran felt a little embarrassed by him, coughed lightly to cover up a little embarrassment, and then asked tentatively: "You are the general who leads the army in battle, the commander-in-chief of the first army, when others ask your opinion, you don't often Is that the answer?!"

From the first night of their newlyweds, what Xu Junze left the deepest impression on Lin Shuran was not his handsome appearance and cold and arrogant personality, but the two words "As you like", it seems that every time he said these two words to her , feel different.

"Of course not!" He holds the military power in his hands and is concerned with the safety of the emperor and the country. How could he easily hand over the decision-making power to others? It's just that public is public and private is private. He actually doesn't know how to get along with Lin Shuran, his wife. Both the empress dowager and the emperor had taught him some ways to get along with men and women, but he felt that it was too troublesome. Instead of spending his mind on how to get along with a woman, he might as well follow her wishes, and both of them are at ease , "You are my wife, of course you can decide the housework, I don't have any opinions!"

Although it is not allowed whether Junze really respects himself or is too lazy to care about these things, Lin Shuran thinks this is very good, at least he is not masculine and forbids her to do this or that, but regarding the education of the children, she still hopes that he can also participate in it.

"Since you said so, then I'll ask Xu An to go to the Zhen Guogong's mansion in person, and tell them that our young master will also lead a team to participate in the Cuju meeting, and let them arrange it." Lin Shuran said with a smile After that, he looked at Xu Junze expectantly and asked, "If you don't have anything to do that day, can you go together? If Brother Chen and the others see you at the scene, they will be very happy!"

"You guys go!" Xu Junze didn't like banquets, he would rather train soldiers in the barracks alone.

Hearing this answer, Lin Shuran was more or less disappointed, but she could also understand Xu Junze, after all, he was only 24 years old, although he was not very young in ancient times, but in modern times, he was just a hot-blooded and masculine young man. Don't know how to be the father of thirteen children.

Afterwards, Lin Shuran told Xu Junze that he would send potted flowers to the Queen Mother, and Xu Junze promised that she would help her to give them to the Queen Mother when she entered the palace.

Soon, the Zhen Guo Gong's mansion received the news that when they heard that Xu Junze's stepson would come to participate in the Cuju meeting, the Zhen Guo Gong Lei Yi and his wife Yang were both surprised. In previous years, the Xu family refused to participate. This kind of banquet.

When the various prefectures in the capital heard that Lin Shuran was going to take her stepson to participate in the Cuju meeting, and she would also lead a team to compete, everyone's reactions were different. It would be different if there was a mistress in the family.

The seventh day of the lunar new year arrived in a blink of an eye. The weather on this day was excellent, the sun was warm, and even the cold air in the severe winter was a little warmer.

Early in the morning, Xu Mingchen and the others waited for Lin Shuran to set off neatly and energetically. In order to participate in the Cuju meeting in the Zhen Guogong Mansion, Lin Shuran also prepared team uniforms and suitable leather boots for them. Of course, she also brought enough There are too many prizes, but the majestic General's Mansion can't be too downcast.

"Mother, is father going today?" Xu Mingchen asked after greeting Lin Shuran.

"Your father may have something to do in the army today, he left early in the morning!" Although Xu Junze lived with her every night these days, the two of them still slept separately at night, and Xu Junze often left home before dawn Now, seeing that Xu Mingchen was a little disappointed, she encouraged her with a smile, "It doesn't matter if your father doesn't go, you don't have to be afraid when the time comes, I will support you, enjoy your game, don't just think about winning or losing, this is going Play!"

Lin Shuran didn't want them to put too much pressure on them. Xu Mingye was also arguing to go, but he just got out of bed and took two steps, so it was really not suitable for him to go out, so besides him, there were three youngest children, and she took care of the remaining nine children. Taking them to the Duke of Zhen's mansion, together with Dazhu and the others who followed to compete together, as well as the maids and servants who followed, the four carriages were actually full.

When the carriage arrived in front of the courtyard specially used for holding the Cuju meeting, Lin Shuran led her stepson out of the carriage. This scene attracted the attention of many people.

"Hmph, this Lin Shuran is not afraid of losing face. A newly married bride leads so many children out to embarrass others. Look at her, she looks very happy to be a stepmother!" Not far away, a woman who just got off the carriage The young woman was carefully supported by the maid, she gave Lin Shuran a squinting glance, her eyes almost turned to the sky, and she spoke in a sour tone.

"She is just the daughter of the Grand Tutor, so how can she compare with you, Miss, you are the first daughter of the Duke's Mansion, and now the eldest son and side concubine of the Prince Ling's Mansion. It's a good thing you didn't marry General Xu at the beginning!" Said with a smile.

Qi Rou'er seems to be very satisfied with the servant girl's statement. As the second daughter of Qin Guogong Qi Congming, she has always regarded herself very highly, and she thinks she is a little more beautiful than her sister Li Fei in the palace. Not her, hmph, now that she is married to Prince Ling's son, even though she is only a side concubine, she is more favored by her mother-in-law than the concubine in the palace, and her status is even higher than that of Lin Shuran.

"As a side concubine of the palace, don't lower your self-esteem to be compared with that kind of woman, and seduce men everywhere before you get married, so that others don't know that there is one lying next to her, and she is still thinking about the other!" An obviously disdainful voice sounded from behind Qi Rou'er, she turned around in surprise and saw Xiao Chen's wife Su Wanwan.

Qi Rou'er pursed her lips and smiled, no one in the whole capital knew that Su Wanwan married Xiao Chen because she wanted to marry her. Xiao Chen married her because the Lin family failed to propose. A few days ago, he heard that Lin Shuran was injured, so Xiao Chen hurried to the university. In the General's Mansion, it's only natural that Su Wanwan doesn't like Lin Shuran.

Although Su Wanwan is only the wife of a servant, according to her seniority, Qi Rou'er also calls her little aunt. After all, her father-in-law Ling Wang is the late son of Concubine Su, and Su Wanwan is Concubine Su's natal niece.

"What little aunt said is true!" Qi Rou'er smiled and entered the yard with Su Wanwan.

Lin Shuran never minds the strange eyes of others, and she pretends not to hear the comments of the people around her. It's just that the children are simple-minded. Xu Minghao originally cared about the eyes of the people around him, but now he finds that everyone is pointing fingers at his family. It looked like he was a little angry.

"What are you looking at, we are not monkeys!" He muttered angrily.

Lin Shuran patted him on the shoulder softly, and said with a low laugh: "Let others watch if they want to. If we care about other people's gazes all the time, we will become unable to walk, speak, and even more so." It's not like me anymore. Let them see it openly, and walk your own way upright, so there will be less meat!"
