My Ancient Stepson Bootcamp

Chapter 84
In the middle of the night, Lin Shuran still couldn't sleep peacefully. After Xu Junze left with the property documents, he never returned home. He probably won't come back tonight.

Seeing the third watch drum beating, hearing the fourth watch drum dissipate, and the fifth watch rooster crowing, Lin Shuran hurriedly got up from the bed.

She put on her clothes, and peeped out through the window lattice that was just opened. The sky was a little bit bright, and the morning time was about to begin.

Today, the emperor is going to formally challenge the entire aristocratic class with his own power. He is destined to fight a difficult and dangerous battle, and Xu Junze, as the trumpeter of his camp, will definitely be mobilized and attacked. will go well.

But Lin Shuran did not regret supporting Xu Junze's decision, not to mention that the husband and wife are a community of interests, even she herself felt that the Jin Dynasty must change the status quo, otherwise civil strife would break out.

Lin Shuran remained calm throughout the morning, but Honggu still keenly noticed that she was a little anxious, and she kept sending people to inquire about the news outside.

"What is madam worrying about?" Hong Gu asked whenever she had something to say, she would not overstep the rules when it was time to abide by her duties, but she would also break the rules of being a slave from time to time.

Faced with Hong Gu's proactive questioning, Lin Shuran has become accustomed to it, as if this is in line with Hong Gu's original personality.

"I always feel that the wind is going to blow, and the spring breeze is very annoying!" Lin Shuran said lightly, and Hong Gu didn't ask any more questions. Something must happen today.

Originally, people thought that today was just an ordinary day among countless days. Who would have thought that in the early court, the young emperor announced a new decree in public. The imperial decree was announced, and the entire court and the public were shocked.

The little eunuch guarding outside the main hall of the morning court trembled. The sound of fierce arguments and debates inside made him aware of the tension and uneasiness in the atmosphere, and he didn't dare to vent his breath.

After waiting for an unknown amount of time, the civil and military ministers began to step out of the hall. Many of them looked angry and dissatisfied, and the young emperor had long since disappeared from the high dragon chair.

With the dispersal of the morning court, the entire capital seemed to be boiling hot water, and it instantly became steaming. People in the streets and alleys were quietly discussing the new decree. Once the decree is implemented, it must be the rich who worry about the poor and the poor.

Lin Shuran had already informed the gatekeeper that the Xu family refused all visitors today, and told Xu Mingchen and the others not to go out for a while.

"Miss, it's spread outside. In the entire capital, only the Xu family and the Lei family of Zhen Guogong's mansion voluntarily handed over the land property, and no one else did!" Chunxi told Lin Shuran the news she had found out.

"Are there only these two?" Lin Shuran thought that since the emperor had made up his mind to implement the new decree, he should find more supporters. Why are there only the Grand General's Mansion and the Zhen Guo Gong's Mansion!
"Hmm! My servant also heard from outsiders that the ministers will jointly sign a letter to ask the emperor to immediately stop this new decree!" Chunxi said again.

Lin Shuran frowned when he heard the news. Someone deliberately spread the news of the ministers. It was clear that it was to put pressure on the emperor. Contradictions between the two sides are bound to continue to intensify.

"Miss, your mother is here, do you want to see her?" Because Lin Shuran had just confessed that she didn't see anyone, Nanny Zhang asked purposely.

Others don't have to see her, but her own mother must. Lin Shuran asked Nanny Zhang to quickly invite Wen Shi into the mansion.

As soon as Wen Shi saw Lin Shuran, he anxiously stepped forward to hold her hand, and asked directly: "Sister Ran, I heard from your father that my uncle handed over all the property in the mansion this morning?"

Lin Shuran asked Wen Shi to sit down on the chair first, and then asked someone to bring hot tea to her. Wen Shi didn't have the heart to drink tea at this time. He couldn't stop saying: "Young master handed over all the land, what will you big family do in the future?"

Mothers always worry about their children's livelihood first, Lin Shuran smiled and comforted Wen Shi and said: "Mother, don't worry, not all the land has been handed over, the Xu family in the south of the city still has fifty acres of fertile land!"

"Fifty mu is not enough to feed your big family. I heard from your father that the land that my uncle handed over is a thousand hectares of fertile land. He offended many people this time. I knew this before. I shouldn't have married—" Wen's face looked regretful, but Lin Shuran interrupted what she was about to say at the right time.

"Mother, it's too late to say these things now. I'm already the Xu family's wife, and your uncle has already given all the land to the court. Even if the Xu family only has [-] acres of land, it is much better than ordinary people's families, and they can't go hungry. of!"

However, Wen shook his head frequently, and said reproachfully: "You have only been in charge of the family for a few days, and you don't understand the difficulties of running the family. Besides, how can you compare the Xu family with ordinary people's families? My uncle is a dignified general. You Your father and I have never made you suffer since you were young, how could you think that now the General's Mansion has become the poorest mansion in the capital, mother just loves you!"

"I know mother loves me the most, so you gave me so much dowry when I got married. Even if I don't rely on the Xu family, your daughter and I can support the whole family." Lin Shuran's words were not purely to comfort Wen, she really had of this ability.

Wen sighed helplessly, she could tell that her daughter was also on the side of the uncle, and she was afraid that she would not listen to what she said, so what else could be done, the only thing she could do was to help her more in the future.

In the next few days, the atmosphere in the capital became more and more tense, and there was restlessness and uneasiness everywhere. Even the patrols and guards were strengthened everywhere in the capital, and the people were also cautious in their words and deeds, lest they offend anyone in this outlet. .

On this day, Xu Mingchen brought his younger brothers to see Lin Shuran. Although they stayed at home to study, they heard the news of what happened outside. All handed over.

"Mother, we will eat less in the future. You don't have to worry about not having enough food at home. I'm grown up now, and I can work too. Don't be afraid!" Xu Minghao walked towards Lin Shuran with a serious face, he was not a natural young master Even if the Xu family really has nothing, as long as the family is still there, he can work hard to make the family live a better life again.

"Silly boy, what am I afraid of! You are all growing up. Not only can you not eat less in the future, you should also eat more, eat good food, and keep your body strong. You don't have to worry about family affairs. Not only will there be no shortage of food, I guarantee that there will be more food in the granary." Lin Shuran saw the worried expressions on the children's faces, and spoke to them confidently.

"Mother, is it true?" Xu Mingsheng, the tenth old man, opened his big round eyes and asked uncertainly.

He was young and didn't know exactly what happened, but from what his brothers said, he seemed to feel that the family had become difficult, and he might not have good food, food and clothes in the future.
