Chapter 162: Enter the Assassins
I just knew that the marriage between the Marquis of Wu'an and the lord of Xiqing County was scheduled for October 26 of next month, and then I heard that the marriage of the Marquis of Dingyuan's Mansion and the Lingwang Mansion, the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the Qin State Mansion was also scheduled for next month, and the wedding date turned out to be October 26.
"Miss, both families get married on the same day, so which one will you go to for the wedding banquet?" Chunxi held two big red gilt wedding cards, one from the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion and the other from the Marquis of Dingyuan's Mansion, both of which invited Lin Shuran to attend the wedding on October 26.
Lin Shuran took the two wedding cards in his hands and looked at them, he didn't expect the two Hou mansions to compete for daughters-in-law, this marriage also started a confrontation, going to one family to attend the wedding banquet will definitely offend the other, it is estimated that the officials in the capital are the same as her at this time, and they have received invitations from both families at the same time.
"Naturally, we are going to the Marquis Mansion of Wu'an, if the general does not want to attend the wedding banquet of the Marquis of Dingyuan's Mansion, then let someone send a gift over, anyway, the relationship between the General's Mansion and the Marquis of Dingyuan Mansion is not very good, it makes no difference whether to go or not." Lin Shuran can see this matter clearly, Xu Junze is from the emperor's side, and Marquis Dingyuan and he are afraid that they will not be able to eat at the same table, so it is not difficult to choose.
However, other officials in the capital who received the invitation were really embarrassed, although the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion was powerful, but the Wu'an Marquis Mansion could not be underestimated, and the Wu'an Marquis had always been on the emperor's side, but the Dingyuan Marquis deliberately chose to marry his son on the same day, the purpose was to see the attitude of the civil and military officials, that person was stingy, and there would be no good fruit to eat in the future if he offended him.
There is still nearly a month to go before October 26, Lin Shuran accepted the wedding card and went to the grange, the autumn ploughing has already ended, she has to see with her own eyes the seedlings she has raised.
After coming to the grange, Lin Shuran changed into clothes suitable for the field and went to the field, she let people build a relatively simple greenhouse here, there is no plastic film in this time and space, she first let people use the grass shed roof and fire room technology, and wait until the harsh winter arrives to ensure the temperature in the greenhouse.
This time is also the best time to plant autumn yellow-hearted potatoes, before Lin Shuran has come to the grange to raise seedlings alone, although the potatoes dug up from Kuang's house are very small, but the seedlings she carefully bred are growing very well, and a sack of yellow-hearted potatoes brought back from Kuang's house can just be planted with an acre of land.
These lands were all deeply cultivated by Lin Shuran and instructed the people of the Grange to use pond silt, which was very fertile and easy to water, and the people of the Grange would also kill insects and weeds them in time according to Lin Shuran's instructions.
Potatoes can generally be harvested in sixty to one hundred days, and the weather here in the Jin Dynasty is actually very suitable for planting potatoes all year round.
Lin Shuran not only planted potatoes in the grange, but also planted those wild corn seeds as soon as she took the seeds of the Kuang family, and these overseas corn seeds seemed to be very suitable for the weather of the Jin Dynasty, and now they have been tasseled, and they can be harvested in almost a month.
However, the corn seeds obtained from the Kuang family are not particularly large, and they are all planted in less than two acres of land, but these are enough to give Lin Shuran a lot of hope, now it is two points of seeds, and in the future, it will be thousands of acres of corn.
She now grows high-yield grain and vegetables, but even if she says it now, no one will believe it, just like the people in the household department tell everyone that there is a thousand catties of rice per mu, everyone thinks it is a very deceptive joke, and when one day she puts the mountains of grain in front of the world, she doesn't need to say a word, everyone will naturally believe it.
After staying in the grange for a day, Lin Shuran went home, but when she was about to reach the city gate, she found that the inventory at the city gate had become very strict.
Lingqin stepped forward to find out what was going on, and when she came back, she told Lin Shuran that it was the Princess's Mansion that had entered the assassin, and Princess Qingyang was almost killed by the assassin, and although the assassin escaped, he was also seriously injured, and now the people in the capital government and the criminal department are chasing the assassin.
Lin Shuran didn't care too much, she heard that Princess Qingyang has always been close to the people of Jianghu, but she is not a decent family, and Princess Qingyang has always had a reputation for being vicious and tyrannical, so it is not surprising that someone wants to kill her.
After the routine check, Lin Shuran's carriage entered the city gate, and then returned to the General's Mansion, at this time the sun had set, the sky was getting dark, and when he got home, Lin Shuran heard Mama Zhang say that Jing Niang, the shopkeeper of the wine shop, had been waiting for her in the house for a long time.
When Lin Shuran arrived at the main hall of the backyard, Jing Niang was pacing back and forth in the hall with an anxious face, and when she heard that the maid had returned to the house, she hurriedly went out to greet her.
"The slave has seen Madame!" Jing Niang was busy giving gifts, and a trace of panic and uneasiness flashed in her eyes.
Lin Shuran asked her not to be polite, the master and servant entered the hall, Jing Niang boldly proposed to talk to Lin Shuran alone, Lin Shuran was puzzled, but still waved his hand to let the others retreat, leaving only her and Jing Niang in the hall.
Seeing that there was no one else in the hall, Jing Niang hurriedly knelt down and asked, "Please also ask Madame to save Honggu!" ”
"What's wrong with Honggu?!" Lin Shuran, who had just sat down, got up from the chair suddenly, looked at Jing Niang anxiously and asked.
Jing Niang didn't hesitate, she knew that Honggu trusted Lin Shuran very much, so she said: "Honggu was poisoned and injured very seriously, and she must use Seven Snake Grass to detoxify." ”
"Where is Honggu now? Take me to her now! Lin Shuran could still sit still, and what was the Seven Snake Grass, how could she never have heard of it, saying that she was going to find Imperial Doctor Mei to follow her to treat Honggu.
At this time, Jing Niang stopped in time: "Madam, no, Honggu's injury can't be known to others!" ”
"Why?" Lin Shuran felt strange, her medical skills were not good, but Imperial Doctor Mei's medical skills were very exquisite.
Jing Niang walked up to her and whispered, "Madam, Honggu was injured in the princess's mansion!" ”
Lin Shuran's face turned pale, and when he saw Jing Niang nodding his head again, he instantly understood what was going on, it turned out that the assassin arrested in the city today was actually Honggu, and she was the one who wanted to kill Princess Qingyang.
"Do you know where you are talking about the Seven Snake Grass?" Lin Shuran stopped, Jing Niang was in a hurry to find her, she must have been able to help, otherwise Jing Niang would have already sought a way to rescue Honggu.
Sure enough, Jing Niang said to her: "Madam, only Xuanqing Villa has Seven Snake Grass in this world, but if you want to go to Xuanqing Villa, you must have a black water token!" ”
So that's the case, Lin Shuran immediately got up and went to her room, took out the black water token given to her by the old man of Hutan before, and asked Jing Niang: "Do you have a way to get the Seven Snake Grass at Xuanqing Qingzhuang as quickly as possible?" ”
