Lin Shuran walked into the hall, and heard that Tao Laohan, who had returned to her home, had already stood aside respectfully, and now the incense box he carefully built Many ladies in the capital love to use it, which is all thanks to Lin Shuran's credit, so every time he makes a new incense box, he will always send it to Lin Shuran first.

When Lin Shuran sat down in the hall, the two sides greeted each other, and Tao Laohan opened the small wooden box he brought, and inside were eight finely carved sandalwood incense boxes, and he smiled: "Madam, this is the new incense box that Xiao Lao'er and his daughter just made, do you like it?"

Lin Shuran was already very appreciative of Tao Laohan's wood carving skills, took a closer look at the new incense boxes, nodded and said, "Each one is very exquisite, I like it very much!"

As soon as he heard Lin Shuran say that he liked it, Tao Laohan was also full of joy, and then deliberately took out a incense box and handed it to Lin Shuran with both hands, and said with something in his eyes: "Madam, this incense box is the most special, there is a mezzanine inside to carry incense pieces, and it is the most suitable to use when you go out!"

"Oh?" Lin Shuran took it and opened it to look at it, and opened the mezzanine of the incense box under the guidance of Tao Laohan's eyes, and a folded note appeared in her eyes, and after opening it, there were only four short words on it - "Very good, don't read it", and this trace is the fifth uncle's.

Without waiting for Lin Shuran to ask, Tao Laohan whispered to her, "Madam, don't worry, those two are all right."

"Where are they now?" Lin Shuran stared at Tao Laohan and asked.

Tao Laohan hurriedly replied, "They were hidden in the mountains by the little old man to recuperate!"

Immediately afterwards, Tao Laohan told Lin Shuran that because he opened a shop, he would often go into the mountains to look for wood, and that day he took his daughter into the mountains to look for good wood, but found two injured people in the mountains. Because he saw Honggu when he went to the General's Mansion to deliver incense boxes, Tao Laohan's father and daughter all recognized her as the person next to Lin Shuran, and because they were grateful to the people of the Xu family for saving themselves, the father and daughter saved the seriously injured people first.

After the two of them sobered up, they asked Tao Laohan and his daughter not to mention anything about them to the outside world, including not revealing anything to Lin Shuran, and then Tao Laohan found a hidden cave for them, and every few days took the opportunity to go into the mountains to find wood to send them some food and medicinal materials, and now that the two of them are in good health, today they asked Tao Laohan to bring news to Lin Shuran.

Lin Shuran suddenly learned the news of the fifth uncle and Honggu, and wanted to see them immediately, but after thinking about it, there were always people staring at her secretly, so she still didn't act rashly, and she also told Tao Laohan to keep everything as usual after walking out of the General's Mansion, and never let people see the clues.

Tao Laohan nodded cautiously, although he is a poor and lowly person, he also knows the truth of "being entrusted by others, being loyal to others", even if he promises others that this matter will not be leaked, then he will be tight-lipped.

Lin Shuran accepted Tao Laohan's incense box, and asked Mama Zhang to bring him the same silver as before, and then let him go back.

Now that she finally knows the news of the fifth uncle and Honggu, Lin Shuran's heart has settled down a lot, although she still has a lot of questions to ask the two of them, but she also knows that now is not a good time, so let's wait a little longer.

Two days later, Lin Shuran took Lingqin and Feiyue to the royal private manor that the Queen Mother gave her to make a academy, it is said that this manor was given to the Queen Mother by the Queen Mother after the marriage of the Queen Mother and the First Emperor, and she also inquired that the First Emperor of this manor was originally going to be rewarded to his daughter Princess Fengrong. ap.

Lin Shuran saw that he was already full of gray hair, but his eyes were bright, and he walked very briskly and powerfully.

In the Jin Dynasty, only a high-powered eunuch could use such a noble and special whisk, the last time Lin Shuran saw the holder of the ivory handle deer hair whisk was still the Gonggong Qu beside Emperor Zhao You, and there were people in the royal private estate who were not cared for in such a whisk, and she had a special view of this elderly steward father-in-law in her heart.

"Old slave Gao Lun meets the general's wife!" Gao Lun went down the steps and bowed to Lin Shuran, not to mention that the dust in his hand indicated that this person's identity was not simple, even if he was so old and a royal attendant, Lin Shuran was not true

He is receiving this gift.

"Executives don't have to be polite, please get up quickly!" Lin Shuran also bent down to help him, and then the two entered the manor.

The royal manor here is located in the southeast suburbs of the capital, covers a wide area, the environment is beautiful, the buildings in the park are numerous, the pavilions and pavilions can be seen everywhere, the main building is composed of three halls, there are nine courtyards of different sizes in the east and west, not only that, there are special racecourses and martial arts training grounds in the manor, there is a long green lake surrounding, there are islands in the lake, there are lake pavilions and Wangjing pavilions on the island, and there are continuous mountains not far away.

Lin Shuran didn't let Gao Lun accompany her, but took Lingqin and Feiyue to wander around the manor, and didn't return to the mansion until sunset, she was very satisfied with this manor as a academy, and she didn't have to make any modifications at all, even better than she imagined in her heart.

Lin Shuran also got the floor plan of the manor from the steward Gao Lun, she re-copied and drew a copy, and indicated the use of various houses as the academy, now that the place is available, students don't have to worry about not receiving it, the queen mother has given a "hard target", when the academy officially starts, there will be students coming, then the next is the most important part, she must find high-quality teachers.

It's just that although this new academy has the support of the Queen Mother, this alone may not be able to recruit like-minded people with her, so this matter must not be in a hurry, she can go back to her parents' house first to ask her father Lin Youxing, after all, he is the prince of the court, and he will definitely be able to find a suitable person better than herself.

So she went to the Lin Mansion early the next morning, but when the carriage arrived on the road, she met the people of the Guards and Horses Division who were interrogating, and then she learned that the princess's mansion encountered assassins again last night, and it was a man and a woman, and the woman was full of white hair, and both of them were seen by the hidden masters of the princess's mansion.

"Madam, you should not go out today, now that the whole city is searching for assassins, it is safer to stay in the mansion!" The official in charge of the investigation knew Lin Shuran's identity and kindly proposed to her.

Lin Shuran was worried that the people who entered the princess's mansion again to assassinate him were the fifth uncle and Honggu, so he didn't have the heart to go to the Lin Mansion, so he asked the groom to turn around and go back to the house, and even asked Lingqin to find the charm and let him go to see what was going on.
