At the end of each year, the town will hold a keju party, and the guests will prepare a certain number of lottery heads, and the winning team will not only receive a golden belt from the host's family, but also exchange all the lottery heads in their name for food and distribute them to the beggars and poor people in the city.

However, Mama Zhang told Lin Shuran that there is an age limit for the Keju Club in the town's Guogong Mansion, and it must be a young person between the ages of twelve and sixteen.

Lin Shuran remembered in a trance that there was such a rule, and it seemed that the Keju Party of the Zhenguo Mansion had been held many times, but the memories belonging to the original owner always came and went, and she couldn't remember it clearly.

"Why is that?" Lin Shuran thought that the average nobles held this kind of banquet, isn't it mainly for viewing and entertainment, why do they require the age of the participants.

Mama Zhang glanced at Lin Shuran as if she was stunned, it seems that there are many things that her young lady can't remember is true, she has forgotten that the young master of the Gu family and the young master of the Xiao family have been participating in the Keju party of the Zhenguo Mansion since they were twelve years old, and she cheers for them every time she is on the spot.

But Mama Zhang still told her that the Lei family in the Zhenguo Mansion was born as a military general, and the children of the family were idle and did not want to make progress, so they remembered to hold a Keju meeting, and the old Zhenguo Gong said that the age of the competition was too young and easy to hurt people's muscles and bones, and the age was too old and afraid of losing the atmosphere of reunion and happiness, so he was a child with colorful clothes to entertain his relatives, but this Keju Club changed from the Lei family's self-entertainment to a large-scale banquet that the children of the nobles in Beijing love to attend, and even the children of the royal family who have reached the age will lead the team to participate in it.

After listening to Mama Zhang's words, Lin Shuran knew the reason, and then asked Chunxi to bring a message to Xu Mingchen and them to see if any of them were willing to go to the Zhenguo Mansion with her for a banquet.

Unexpectedly, Xu Mingchen and Xu Minghao heard that they were going to the Zhenguo Mansion for a banquet this year, and they all gathered in her courtyard, and even Xu Mingye had to hold on to his body to say that he wanted to go to the banquet.

"Mother, are we really allowed to race this year?" Xu Minghao looked very excited, although he was also a son of a wealthy family, but he had never participated in the Keju Party of the Zhenguo Mansion, because Xu Junze accepted the invitation and didn't go, so they didn't have a chance to go to see it.

"Entering?" Lin Shuran thought that they might have misunderstood, so he explained, "No, I asked you to go to the banquet with me, and we can just watch from the sidelines when the time comes, you can also add color, and I will ask the housekeeper to get you more silver." ”

"Just watch how it works!" Xu Minghao was the first to pout, he deliberately approached Lin Shuran with a coquettish face, and said with a flattering face, "Mother, you let us also participate in the Keju competition, didn't you see it when you were in the Grange, big brother, they kicked Keju very well!" ”

At this time, Lin Shuran raised his eyes to look at Xu Mingchen, and found that his eyes were shining and expectant, but he couldn't bear to say it, as if he was afraid that Lin Shuran would be embarrassed.

"Brother Chen, you also want to participate in the Keju competition of the Zhenguo Mansion?" Now that Lin Shuran and Xu Mingchen are getting closer and closer, their names have gradually changed.

If it was in the past, Xu Mingchen might have thought about it a lot and hesitated, but since Lin Shuran told him to behave with his head held high, he has also thought a lot about it these days, and feels that he has grown up and should really take responsibility, he can't live under Xu Junze's wings all the time, so he also wants to temper himself more, only when he becomes really strong, can he protect his family.

"Mother, the child wants to participate!" Xu Mingchen's eyes said firmly, Xu Minghao and the others were even more excited when they heard it.

"However, Keju will have a rule, you must be at least twelve years old, and six people must participate, only you and Ye Ge'er are old in the family, but he is not in good health, he must not be able to participate, can he temporarily team up with others?" Lin Shuran expressed concern, of course, the emphasis is on participation, and she does not expect the children to win.

"Oh, mother, why did you forget the big pillars and two pillars, as long as they team up with the eldest brother, they will be invincible in the world at that time!" Xu Minghao waved his little fist and said with a smile.

"There are people outside the sky, how can there be invincible in the world!" Lin Shuran looked at Xu Minghao helplessly and said with a smile, and then said with a serious face, "You remember, the arrogant army will be defeated, and you can't underestimate the enemy at any time, it just so happens that I plan to go to the Grange today, Brother Chen'er is also with me, you ask Dazhu if they are willing to go to the Keju Club with you." ”

"Mother is going to the Grange, I'm going, I'm going!" Xu Minghao is now like a plaster, very sticky, and Xu Mingxuan, who can see it on the side, is a little envious and jealous.

So, Lin Shuran took them back to the Grange together, and after arriving at the Grange, Xu Mingchen and the others went to find Dazhu and them, and they came to the small garden in the Grange, and she had not forgotten the gift she wanted to supply the Queen Mother.

At this time, the flowers and plants in this small garden have been defeated and snowy, waiting for the next spring to recover, but there is also a flower room in the small garden, the temperature inside is suitable, camellias, pansies and crane orchids are blooming strongly, this is a new variety carefully cultivated by Lin Shuran here for three years, not only the flower color is strange and gorgeous, but also cold and drought resistant.

Pansies in the Jin Dynasty is a little more common than the small family, and the crane orchid plant is too tall, but the camellia is not only rare in the Jin Dynasty, but also regarded as a precious medicinal material, especially the Baozhu camellia she cultivated in front of her, not only the flower color is red and colorful, but the medicinal value is much higher than the ordinary Baozhu camellia.

Not only that, but she also used grafting technology to cultivate more varieties of Baozhu camellia, and some camellia trees can produce camellia flowers of multiple colors.

Lin Shuran chose a new five-color Baozhu camellia that was successfully grafted, with red, white, yellow, pink, and purple five colors, and the buds are all half-open shapes, and they can be fully bloomed in two days.

Instructed Zhang Tang to pack this Baozhu camellia according to the method he said, and he would bring it back to the General's Mansion first.

On the other side, they heard that they were going to participate in the Keju meeting, and they were very happy when they heard about it, and immediately expressed their willingness to team up with Xu Mingchen to participate.

Lin Shuran respected their decision, and went back to the house first with the gift for the Queen Mother, and a few small ones heard that Xu Mingchen and they stayed in the Grange, and they all shouted to go, so Lin Shuran promised them to take them to the Grange to live for a while after the weather was warmer after the New Year.

"You're going to take them to the banquet of the Zhenguo Mansion?" When Xu Junze came back from outside, he heard Xu An say that Lin Shuran had decided to go to the Keju meeting of the Zhenguo Mansion a few days later, and Xu Mingchen and they would also go.

"Yes!" Originally, she planned to tell Xu Junze about this, "And the children want to form a team to participate in the Keju competition at the banquet, and I agree, what is your opinion?" ”
