My Ancient Stepson Bootcamp

Chapter 87
Hong Gu found a new shopkeeper for herself, but Lin Shuran was not in a hurry to open the three shops. She asked Jin Liu, Jing Niang and Uncle Mo to get acquainted with the shop first, and then she also planned to redecorate the shop until the national funeral. After that, open the door to welcome guests.

However, Lin Shuran told Xu Junze about the new shopkeeper after he got home, but Xu Junze didn't say much, and let her decide everything.

Since the promulgation of the new decree, Xu Junze spent more and more time away from home, sometimes he just came back in a hurry and then went out again, knowing that he was busy, Lin Shuran and the children tried not to disturb him as much as possible.

On this day, the Empress Dowager ordered Lin Shuran to enter the palace. Lin Shuran did not dare to neglect, and followed the eunuch who sent the news into the palace.

Before Lin Shuran stepped into the gate of the Empress Dowager's Palace, a figure came out suddenly, and the two almost collided.

"You bastard, don't you have eyes? You almost bumped into me!" The queen looked angry, and the words of scolding seemed to be directed at the eunuch who led the way, but she gave Lin Shuran a hard look, snorted coldly, and reasoned Ignoring Lin Shuran, she shook her sleeves and left.

However, the other party was the queen after all, so Lin Shuran still saluted her politely. The eunuch who was scolded by the queen was so frightened that she knelt on the ground and did not dare to make a sound. After the queen left, she wiped off her sweat and got up to lead Lin Shuran into the hall.

Arriving in the Empress Dowager's bedroom, Lin Shuran saw the Empress Dowager half lying on the soft couch with a very tired face. Aunt Chang was gently massaging her shoulders.

Seeing Lin Shuran coming, the queen mother forced a smile on her face, beckoned her and let her sit in front of her.

Lin Shuran saluted, and did not immediately sit down as the queen mother said, but approached and said: "The queen mother, the minister's wife also knows some massage techniques, why don't the minister's wife take the place of Aunt Chang for a while."

The smile on the Empress Dowager's face deepened, she looked at Lin Shuran more intimately, and motioned for Aunt Chang to stop, then Lin Shuran stood in Aunt Chang's place, and began to skillfully massage the Empress Dowager's neck and shoulders.

The Queen Mother closed her eyes comfortably. She did not expect that Lin Shuran's massage skills were better than that of Aunt Chang who had followed her for many years. No wonder there were many rumors about her outside, and it was even said that her medical skills were better than those of the imperial doctors.

"If Ai's children are as caring and caring as you are, Ai's death will be enough!" The Queen Mother revealed a kind of helplessness and sadness in her words, but her eyes were still slightly closed.

Lin Shuran wondered if the queen had quarreled with the queen mother just now?Otherwise, the queen would not leave angrily, and the queen mother would not say such things. It seems that conflicts between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are everywhere.

"Empress Dowager, folks often say that 'parents' hearts are on their children, and children's hearts are on stones'. In the past, the courtiers did not understand this sentence very much. It was not until the courtiers also became other people's mothers that they understood a little bit. The son is one hundred years old, and the long-term worry is 99. The troubles and joys of being a mother in this world are all because of your own children. After being troubled, you still have to worry about them. This is the heart of a mother!" Lin Shuran's soft words made the Queen Mother open her eyes, stretched out her hand and patted hers with emotion.

It's not without reason that she likes this child. If she liked Lin Shuran more because of Xu Junze's relationship before, then now she really thinks that Lin Shuran is considerate and a rare and wonderful person.

"You are such a sweet child. Brother Ze is really lucky to marry you!" After saying this, the queen mother took Lin Shuran's hand and let her sit down in front of her, "Okay, Aijia is much more comfortable, your technique is really good, in the future you will often come to the palace to talk with Aijia and give Aijia a massage!"

Lin Shuran nodded with a smile, and promised that the Queen Mother would often come to the palace to accompany her. Afterwards, the two of them had some homely conversation. Gradually relax and be happy.

In the end, Lin Shuran actually coaxed the queen mother to sleep. After the queen mother was sound asleep, Aunt Chang personally sent her outside the bedroom.

"Mrs. Xu, if you weren't here today, the Empress Dowager might not be able to sleep well again!" Aunt Chang said gratefully to Lin Shuran.

"Is the queen mother not sleeping well recently?" Lin Shuran asked in a low voice, even if she was far away, she was afraid of waking the queen mother.

Aunt Chang smiled helplessly, it was more than bad, since the emperor insisted on promulgating a new decree, many people came to the queen mother to "complain" every day, just dealing with these ministers and wives, the queen mother was already extremely tired, and often suffered from insomnia at night, Today the queen came to quarrel with the queen mother again, how could the queen mother be in a good mood.

Lin Shuran could probably guess the reason why the Queen Mother didn't sleep well, but she didn't talk to Aunt Chang, even if she knew about some things, she might not be able to solve them.

"Girl, go back and take care of the empress dowager. I will go back today, and a lot of flowers have bloomed in my flower garden. Later, I will personally send two pots of rare ones to the empress dowager!" Lin Shuran said.

"The empress dowager likes flowers and plants the most, she will be happy!" No wonder the empress dowager likes the daughters of Taifu Lin's family, whether it is Concubine Yun or Lin Shuran, they are so caring and intelligent.

After Lin Shuran came out of the queen mother's palace, she planned to go back, but when she got near the back garden, she was stopped by someone.

"Hmph, who am I supposed to be? It turns out that it is the wife of General Xu, she is the daughter of the Lin family, she is really good at flattering people!" Concubine Li stretched out her hand to block Lin Shuran's way, and beside her was her mother, Mrs. Qin Guogong. The Sun family and younger sister Qi Rouer, the eldest son and side concubine of the Ling Palace.

Looking at the mother and daughter of the Sun family, Lin Shuran was not afraid and faced them calmly, knowing that they were not kind.

"'Climbing the dragon, attaching the wings of the phoenix', if it is about flattery, the minister's wife should learn a lot from the concubine Li." Even if the concubine Li is the emperor's woman, as the daughter of the Taifu and the wife of the general, Lin Shuran Not much shorter than her.

Mrs. Sun squinted her eyes and glared at Lin Shuran, who was very imposing. The last time in the Cuju Garden of the Duke of Zhen, if Lin Shuran's stepsons were not troublesome, how could the Duke of Qin and the Duke of Zhen be so deadlocked? , and his precious grandson Qi Yang was cut off from his future by them at such a young age, they are so ruthless!

The Sun family hated the Lei family, and hated the daughter of the Lin family even more. The eldest daughter suffered a lot of grievances in the palace because of Concubine Yun, and the younger grandson was sent to the ancestral home in the countryside for self-reflection because of Lin Shuran. The daughter of the Lin family was the scourge.

"Mrs. Xu is really eloquent. You don't think that with the Queen Mother backing your Xu family, you can cover the sky with one hand in the capital, right? People should learn to be smart, don't rush to get ahead of everything, and be careful of eggs hitting rocks. Shattered to pieces!" Qi Rou'er looked at her angrily and said, with a warning in her eyes.
