Chapter 3: Meeting Gifts
Lin Shuran was stunned for a moment, it seemed that she didn't expect the embarrassing thing to happen like this, and everyone else was waiting to see her reaction with different expressions, and they could even imagine the scene of her being angry and threatening.
However, Lin Shuran smiled, looked at Xu Minghao without blame, and said, "It's okay, mother knows that you didn't mean it!" Then, she handed Xu 13 back to An's family, and then looked at Xu Mingchen and the others and continued, "I'm afraid, you have to wait in the side hall for a while, I need to go back to the inner room to change clothes first, the sage said: 'People are rude and do not stand', although we are mother and son, but after all, there is a difference between men and women, I can't see people like this, otherwise the gentleman who taught me etiquette rules will chase after me with a ruler!" ”
Lin Shuran's words were obviously said with a gentle smile, but Xu Mingchen, who was the boss, was slightly hot on his face, and felt a little panicked, Lin Shuran's words sounded like she was talking about herself, but the implication seemed to be saying that their Xu brothers didn't understand etiquette and rules.
Xu Mingye snorted slightly, his eyes looking at Lin Shuran were not friendly, and the others also had their own thoughts about Lin Shuran's friendly attitude at this time.
And Xu Shisan's crying was shocking when he was picked up by An's again, the more An's coaxed him to cry, the more he cried, so anxious that An's was about to cry, Lin Shuran had to take it over and hug it again, and he immediately stopped crying.
At this time, Xu Mingchen stepped forward and saluted Lin Shuran in a formal manner and said, "Mother, don't be angry, my younger brothers are usually stubborn, I will punish them when I go back." I'll take them to the side hall first! ”
Xu Minghao was still a little unconvinced, he didn't feel that he had done anything wrong, but pouted and glared at Lin Shuran, and then they followed Xu Mingchen to the next side hall to wait.
An also followed the other two nurses to the side hall, and Lin Shuran took the child and Chunxi back to the inner room to change clothes, and waited until there were only two masters and servants and a milk doll left.
Chunxi was a little upset for her young lady, and said angrily: "Miss, I think the young masters of the Xu family are deliberate, or the children of the general, they don't understand the rules at all, and they tear your skirt recklessly, like a group of wild monkeys." ”
Lin Shuran didn't speak, this group of young masters of the Xu family is not just wild monkeys, they are eccentric at a young age, and they don't seem to be very easy to get along with, but she has the means to deal with bear children, besides, children, it's normal to be stubborn.
"Chunxi, take out the meeting gift I prepared for the children!" After changing his clothes again, Lin Shuran carried Xu Shisan into the side hall again, this time I don't know if the boss Xu Mingchen said something to his younger brothers, but they all stood and waited for her in a regular manner.
"In the future, you don't have to settle down here, and I don't have any special requirements for you, I just hope that we can take care of each other and live in harmony!" After speaking, Lin Shuran asked Chunxi to give them the meeting gift, and gave them all the identical jade plates, and then let them all go back, only Xu Shisan stayed.
"Big brother, what's written on this?" Walking out of Lin Shuran's courtyard, a young brother of the Xu family came to Xu Mingchen, and asked curiously turning over the jade plate in his hand.
"'May my son inherit the righteousness of the universe, establish the majesty of heaven and earth, become a bamboo in the chest, be fearless of the wind and rain, have a bright future, and make steady progress'." Xu Mingchen's voice was clear and powerful, and his eyes began to become extraordinarily calm, and then he couldn't help but glance back at the direction of Lin Shuran's courtyard, no one knew what he was thinking.
"This sounds like a good thing, but I don't know if this person is a good person!" Xu Minghao didn't believe that Lin Shuran would be sincere to them, women are ruthless and hypocritical, wait and see, her fox tail will be revealed sooner or later.
When the courtyard was quiet again, and Xu Shisan also fell asleep, Lin Shuran remembered that he hadn't eaten breakfast yet, but fortunately, the food in the big kitchen had already been prepared and was served soon.
The Xu family has a simple population, although it is a famous general's mansion, but there are not many people in the house, and those who take care of Xu Mingchen are also some veterans who have been on the battlefield, and there are also servants and maids, but most of them help in the back kitchen.
There is a big housekeeper in the house, and Xu Junze has handed over all the big and small things to him, and as soon as Lin Shuran has breakfast, the big housekeeper Xu An asked people to carry a box to see her.
"Mrs. Qiyu, the slave is Xu An, the housekeeper of the mansion, the general said, from today onwards, the general's mansion will be run by Mrs." Then, he pointed to the box beside him and said, "Here are the accounts of the house, the deed of sale of the subordinates, and the keys to the treasury, etc., which will also be in charge of the lady together, and the servants in the house will be sent by the lady!" ”
Xu An took a step back after saying it respectfully, and at the same time a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, with the hostess at home, he could finally breathe a sigh of relief, and he would be able to grow a few fewer white hairs in the future.
Lin Shuran was surprised in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face, although she was not a real ancient, but she also understood the rights and wrongs in the back house, which bride like her started to take charge of the family just after the wedding night, could it be that Xu Junze deliberately embarrassed and tempted her? !
"Good!" Lin Shuran said a word, Xu An breathed a sigh of relief inexplicably, with the master's mother, I hope that the young masters in the house can be more restrained, and the Xu family can be quiet for a few days.
For the next half of the day, Lin Shuran began to check and flip through the things in the box sent by Xu An in the room, Chunxi followed Mama Zhang to meet the Xu family's subordinates, and the nurse An did not dare to leave Lin Shuran's yard at will, it was really the thirteenth young master of the Xu family, Xu Mingyu, who cried as soon as he left Lin Shuran.
"Let him stay here tonight!" Seeing that night was falling, the little tangle baby Xu Thirteen couldn't do without him, so Lin Shuran asked An to stay with him and breastfeed him at night.
An wanted to take the child away, after all, this was the second night of Lin Shuran's wedding, if the general came back and saw a milk doll on the bed, disturbing him and his wife's good night, then her money-making errand would be lost, but she had to listen to the master's order.
Sure enough, when Xu Junze entered the house and found his youngest son lying on the bed, his face darkened, and An was about to retreat after feeding the child, when he saw that Xu Junze seemed to be angry, he was so frightened that he didn't dare to move.
Xu Junze said coldly: "Who told you to put the child here?!" ”
An Shi knelt on the ground with a "plop", and said in fear: "The general is angry, it's the slave's fault, slave and maid—"
"I told her to put the baby here!"
At this moment, Lin Shuran opened the curtain in the room and walked in, looked at Xu Junze fearlessly and said.
