Late at night, Lin Shuran still couldn't sleep peacefully, Xu Junze didn't return home since he left with the field papers, and he shouldn't be back tonight.

Seeing that the drum of the third watch had been beaten, listening to the drum of the fourth watch dissipating, and the rooster of the fifth watch, Lin Shuran got up from the bed in a hurry.

She put on her clothes and peeked out through the window lattice that had just been opened, the sky was slightly cloudy, and the time of the morning dynasty was about to begin.

Today, the emperor wants to formally challenge the entire aristocracy with his own strength, and his battle is destined to be difficult and dangerous, and Xu Junze, as the horn blower of his camp, will definitely be attacked by a group, and the Xu family will not go smoothly in the capital in the future.

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

Lin Shuran behaved very calmly all morning, but Honggu was still keenly aware that her expression was a little anxious, and she kept sending someone to inquire about the news outside.

"What is Madame worried about?" Honggu asked if she had something to say, she wouldn't go beyond the box when she should abide by her duty, but she often broke the rules that she should have been a slave.

Faced with Honggu's active questioning, Lin Shuran was accustomed to it, as if this was in line with Honggu's original character.

"I always feel like the sky is going to be windy, and the spring breeze is very annoying!" Lin Shuran said lightly, and Honggu didn't ask any more, something must have happened today.

Originally, people thought that today was just an ordinary day among countless days, but they didn't think that in the early dynasty, the young emperor announced in public that a new decree was issued.

The little eunuch who was guarding outside the main hall of the early dynasty trembled, and the fierce quarrels and debates inside made him aware of the tension and uneasiness of the atmosphere, and he didn't dare to mess around.

I don't know how long I waited, the ministers of civil and military affairs began to step out of the hall with their feet raised, and many people looked angry and dissatisfied, and the figure of the young emperor had long been absent from the high dragon chair.

With the dispersion of the early dynasty, the whole capital seems to be boiling hot water, instantly become steaming, people in the streets and alleys are quietly discussing the new decree, once the decree is implemented, it must be the rich and the poor happy.

Lin Shuran had already let people inform the gatekeeper that the Xu family refused all visitors today, and instructed Xu Mingchen that they should not go out for the time being.

"Miss, it has spread outside, and only the Xu family and the Lei family of the Zhenguo Mansion in the entire capital have taken the initiative to hand over the land property, and no one else has paid it!" Chunxi said to Lin Shuran the news he had found outside.

"Are these two the only ones?" Lin Shuran thought that since the emperor had made up his mind to implement the new decree, he should find more supporters, why only the Great General's Mansion and the Zhenguo Mansion!

"Hmmm! The slave maid also heard from outsiders that the ministers should jointly write a letter asking the emperor to stop this new decree immediately! Chunxi said again.

Lin Shuran frowned as soon as he heard the news, this is someone deliberately spreading the news of the ministers, it is clear that he wants to put pressure on the emperor, if the decree just issued by the emperor is abolished, then where is the majesty of the emperor in the future, the contradictions between the two parties will definitely continue to intensify.

"Miss, your mother is here, do you want to see you?" Because Lin Shuran had just confessed that she didn't see anyone, Mama Zhang came to ask on purpose.

Others can not be seen, but their mother must be seen, Lin Shuran asked Mama Zhang to quickly invite the Wen family into the house.

As soon as Wen saw Lin Shuran, he anxiously stepped forward and grabbed her hand, and asked directly: "Sister Ran, I heard your father say that this morning, my uncle handed over all the fields in the house?" ”

Lin Shuran asked Wen not to worry about sitting down on the chair first, and then asked someone to bring hot tea to her, how could Wen have the heart to drink tea at this time, seeing Lin Shuran nodding and saying that there was indeed such a thing, she was even more worried, and couldn't help but say: "Uncle handed over all the fields, what will you do with your family in the future?" ”

When a mother is always worried about the livelihood of her children first, Lin Shuran smiled and comforted the Wen family: "Mother, you don't have to worry, not all the land has been handed over, and the Xu family in the south of the city still has fifty acres of fertile land!" ”

"Fifty acres is enough to feed your family, I heard your father say that the land handed over by my uncle is a thousand hectares of fertile land, and he offended many people this time, I knew that this was the case, I shouldn't have had this marriage in the first place-" Wen looked regretful, but Lin Shuran interrupted what she was going to say next.

"Mother, it's too late to say these things now, I am already the wife of the Xu family, and your uncle has already given all the land to the imperial court, even if the Xu family only has fifty acres of land, it is much stronger than the ordinary people's families, and they can't be hungry!"

Wen shook his head frequently, and said with some reproach: "You have only been in charge of the family for a few days, and you don't understand the difficulties of running the family at all, how can you compare the Xu family with the ordinary people's family, my uncle is a dignified general, you have been clothed and fed since you were a child, and your father and I have never let you suffer, how could you have thought that now the General's Mansion has become the poorest mansion in the capital, and my mother just feels sorry for you!" ”

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

Wen sighed helplessly, she could hear it, her daughter was also on her uncle's side, I was afraid that she wouldn't listen to anything, what else could she do, and she could only 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, and even patrols and guards were strengthened everywhere in the capital, and the people were cautious in their words and deeds, lest they offend anyone in this outlet.

On this day, Xu Mingchen led his younger brothers to see Lin Shuran, although they had been staying at home to study, but they had also heard the news of what was happening outside, and knew that now Xu Junze had offended many people in the court, and the Xu family's land and property had also been handed over.

"Mother, we will all eat less in the future, you don't have to worry about the lack of food at home, I am now grown up, I can also work, don't be afraid!" Xu Minghao took the lead towards Lin Shuran with a serious face, he was not born a young master, and he had a hard life before, so even if the Xu family really had nothing, as long as his family was still there, he could work hard to make his family live a good life again.

"Silly boy, what am I afraid of! You are all growing your body, not only can you not eat less in the future, but you should also eat more, eat well, and raise your body to be strong, you don't have to worry about things at home, not only will our family not have no food to eat in the future, I guarantee that the grain in the granary will not be exhausted. Lin Shuran looked at the worried looks on the children's faces and spoke to them with confidence.

"Is it really?" Old Shi Xu Mingsheng opened his big round eyes and asked uncertainly.

He was too young to know what was going on, but from what his brothers said, he seemed to sense that the family had become difficult, and there might be no good things to eat and clothes to wear in the future.
