My Ancient Stepson Bootcamp

Chapter 80

"Mother, the baby is not tired, thirsty, or hungry!" Xu Mingfan felt that the feeling that someone cared about him as soon as he was in the examination room was fresh and moving. The woman who gave birth to him before always thought he was a monster because of his precocious intelligence. He was an ominous person who wanted to throw him into the river and drown him, but Lin Shuran was just his stepmother, but he saw in her eyes a mother's sincere love for her child.

Lin Shuran asked him to get into the carriage to take a rest. She was keenly aware of his depression, wondering if he didn't do well in the exam, but she didn't ask.

It was already late when the two returned to the mansion. Lin Shuran arranged for Xu Mingfan to live alone in a courtyard during this period of time, so that his older brothers and younger brothers would not affect him, and Xu Mingchen also told his younger brothers not to disturb Xu Mingfan if there was no special matter.

When Lin Shuran returned to her courtyard, Nanny Zhang waited for her to sit down and rest before speaking to her: "Miss, a man came to the mansion today, and he said he was a servant introduced by the farm, and he will serve you by your side from now on." , the old slave asked, but is there such a thing?"

Lin Shuran thought Uncle Wu was joking, did he really introduce someone?She asked Nanny Zhang to bring the man over, Nanny Zhang nodded, and wanted to open her mouth to say something, thinking that she should wait until Lin Shuran saw the person herself.

After a while, Nanny Zhang led a person in, and saw that she was wearing a red and black plain dress, and her silver hair was tied into a woman's bun with a simple wooden hairpin, but her face looked like The egg that has been peeled off its shell is very fair and smooth, with red lips and white teeth, and bright eyes that are gazing, she is clearly a great beauty.

"My maidservant Honggu has seen my wife!" The voice seemed mature and solemn, Lin Shuran looked at her carefully again, what is the relationship between such a beautiful woman and Fifth Uncle?

Hong Gu stood there and let Lin Shuran look up and down, her face was calm, but there was also a flash of inquiry about Lin Shuran in her eyes, but it disappeared quickly in a flash.

"Are you introduced by Uncle Wu? What's your relationship? Honggu, how old are you this year?" Lin Shuran didn't feel that she asked abruptly, she was really curious.

Hong Gu nodded her head slightly, bowed to Lin Shuran in a polite manner, and then replied: "This slave is in debt with him, and this slave is forty-two this year."

Lin Shuran looked at each other in surprise when she heard that, Nanny Zhang and Chunxi, she really didn't look like a woman at 42, she looked like she was in her 20s just by looking at her face, and she said that she and Uncle Wu were in debt , who is whose creditor?

After thinking about it, Uncle Wu should be the creditor, otherwise, no one would be willing to be a servant, and this Honggu has a fierce aura all over her body, and she doesn't seem to be such a troublesome person. The person introduced by Uncle Wu, It's not always good to treat her badly.

"Gu Hong, since Fifth Uncle asked you to come, then you can stay in the mansion for a while, and you can leave whenever you want. There is nothing for you to do in the mansion for the time being." Lin Shuran respects Fifth Uncle very much, and he introduced The people here are not much different, she didn't think that she would really treat Honggu as a servant, so she should treat her as a guest with courtesy.

But Hong Gu didn't come here to be a guest, she looked straight at Lin Shuran, with unquestionable determination, and said: "From now on, the servant will serve the madam closely, and the madam can leave any matter to the slave at ease." manage!"

After finishing speaking, she stood by Lin Shuran's side with a somewhat forceful attitude, which shocked the three masters and servants. I have never seen a servant who speaks so bluntly and acts so hotly.

There was a faint feeling of being coerced, but because it was the person introduced by Uncle Wu, and Lin Shuran didn't feel any malice from Hong Gu, she temporarily agreed to Hong Gu's insistence on being someone close to her.

I originally wanted to go to the farm to ask Uncle Wu about Honggu, but I didn't expect Zhang Tang to tell him that Uncle Wu left her a letter and left.

When she opened the letter, Fifth Uncle only left her with eight words—"Honggu is trustworthy, see you by fate!" Other than that, there was nothing else.

Uncle Wu's sudden departure made Lin Shuran feel very surprised. For three years, she and Uncle Wu have become friends and relatives, but she has always known that Uncle Wu has a story, and sooner or later he will leave Yes, but she didn't expect that when this day came, she would still feel very sad.

"Honggu, do you know where Fifth Uncle has gone?" Holding the letter left by Fifth Uncle, Lin Shuran glanced at Honggu who was always by her side. generally.

"Go back to madam, this servant doesn't know!" How could others know what that person was going to do? She also searched for him for three years before finding him, but now he has left without a sound, just like many years ago .

So what if you know, so what if you don't know, everyone has their own way to go, Lin Shuran is not a stubborn person who can't see it apart, when the fate comes, we get together, and when the fate goes, we disperse. I only wish my fifth uncle will go smoothly, be healthy and safe.

Throughout February, all the children of the Xu family stayed at the mansion, except for Xu Mingfan who went out to take part in the boy's test, copying books and learning martial arts. Because it was the national mourning period, Xu Junze also had free time, and he began to teach the children of the Xu family martial arts himself.

In March, the spring is warm and the flowers are blooming. People are suppressing their desire to go out. No one dares to blatantly entertain and entertain during the national mourning period. All mansions also refuse guests to visit, and the streets and alleys have become much quieter.

On this day, it was rare that someone handed a letter of greeting to the gatekeeper of Xu's family. Lin Shuran took it and saw that it was Mrs. Fang from the Yushi's mansion next door who invited her to visit the mansion.

It is said that distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. Although the Fang family and the Xu family had an unpleasant quarrel last time because of the pomegranate tree incident, the matter was resolved and there was no serious enmity. Chunxi accompanied her to Yushifu.

When she arrived at Fang's house, Lin Shuran was led into the inner hall by the nurse next to Mrs. Fang. Only then did she know that Mrs. Fang was feeling unwell recently and was lying in bed. When she arrived, she saw that Dr. Mei was also there.

"I didn't know that the old lady was in poor health. I should have come to visit earlier!" Lin Shuran looked apologetically at the old lady of the Fang family and said. I don't know that the old lady of the Fang family is ill.

"As you get older, you will inevitably have many problems. It's my Fang's family who should have begged to come to the door. It's the fault of my old age that Mrs. Xu was so tired. I hope Mrs. Xu will not be offended!" Fang said. The old lady of the family half sat on the bed, looked at Lin Shuran kindly and said.

"Why did the old lady say that?" Lin Shuran looked at her puzzled.
