"The meaning is about the same, they see that now Brother Chen is married to the Lei family, and he is the eldest young master of the General's Mansion, so they have other thoughts and want to rebuild relations with him, but Brother Chen has long been disappointed in the Chen family, I think the Chen family made a mistake!" Lin Shuran said to Chen Jiayu.

Chen Jiayu nodded, she and Xu Mingchen had the same idea, although she took the initiative to ask her father Chen Yanzhi to remove her from the family tree, but she also deeply understood the ruthlessness of the Chen family, in fact, she ran into Liu Rong just after leaving the house, but she was not afraid of offending the Chen family, so she didn't pay attention to her at all.

"What are you two muttering?" Lei Yingying came up curiously, and Lin Shuran didn't hide it from her, so she told her about the visit of Liu Rong, the young wife of the Chen family.

Lei Yingying thinks that this is very normal, and there are many people in the world who tend to be inflammatory, hypocritical and insidious, but the Chen family in Dongling is now rejected by the emperor, and even the children of the Chen family will probably not be reused in the future, so the Chen family can't make much waves in the capital.

"That Liu Rong is just a young lady of a family, and she may have some fame in Dongling, but when she arrives in this capital, if nothing else, she is afraid that she is not qualified to go to the four-grade official's mansion to entertain guests." Lei Yingying's mouth was full of disdain.

Chen Jiayu sank her eyes, she felt that she couldn't underestimate this Liu Rong, her uncle also said in the letter, that is, Liu Rong's father almost became the new head of the Liu family, if it weren't for those loyal old men in the clan to stop her, maybe it would have succeeded, and it was the young lady Liu Rong who married into the Dongling Chen family who gave advice to Liu Rong's father behind the scenes.

Lin Shuran didn't want to ruin everyone's interest because of Liu Rong and the Chen family's affairs, so he pulled Chen Jiayu and Lei Yingying to sit down quickly.

A hot pot banquet everyone ate very happily, and after the meal, the children had a snowball fight in the yard, and even Lin Shuran, Chen Jiayu, and Lei Yingying, these female dependents couldn't help but join in, as if they had returned to their carefree childhood.

Xu Mingchen went to the City Guards and Horses Division early the next morning to report that he had taken office, seeing that the New Year was approaching, Lin Shuran was also busy preparing for the New Year's ceremony, Xu Junze and Xu Mingye both sent back the news respectively, Xu Junze had arrived safely in the Xia Kingdom, and Xu Mingye and Xu Minghan were also trying their best to find Xu Mingyuan, the fifth elder of the Xu family.

In the blink of an eye, it is more than half a month, and there are only a few days before Chinese New Year's Eve, although this year may not be a family reunion for the holiday, but as long as the people outside are safe and sound, Lin Shuran is already very satisfied in his heart.

"Madam, go and take a look, the eighth young master got two ferrets out of nowhere, and they were taken away by the little lady one by one, the little young lady was stunned and didn't let go, the eighth young master was afraid that the ferret would hurt her, so she cried urgently!" Mama Zhang hurriedly said to Lin Shuran.

Lin Shuran hurriedly went to the courtyard where Xu Mingxuan and a few people were, recently Xu Manman, this little girl walked as if she had pressed the Hot Wheels, a little person who couldn't see her didn't know where to run, and was less than two years old, this heart and eyes were more than lotus eyes, and the people who were responsible for serving her were often played around by her, and she was very clever and naughty, and even the Xu brothers couldn't parry her.

When Lin Shuran arrived, he saw Xu Manman being held in his arms by Xu Mingzhou and crying, the two ferrets that Mama Zhang said had been put into a cage by Xu Mingxuan, and Xu Minghao had blood marks on the back of his hands and hands, which were obviously injured by the sharp claws of animals.

"Why are you still hurt?" Lin Shuran didn't care about the crying Xu Manman, but hurriedly asked Lingqin to bring the medicine box, and on the other side, Xu Mingfan, the fourth elder of the Xu family, also found Su Ge and asked her to quickly treat Xu Minghao's injuries.

"It's okay, I'm okay!" Xu Minghao gritted his teeth and said with a smile, "I was caught by these two little beasts, but I didn't expect them to know that they are protecting their little sister, and they do have spirituality." ”

When Su Ge took out the medicine to apply medicine to Xu Minghao to bandage the wound, Lin Shuran called several people into the room and asked what was going on, Xu Manman saw her mother coming, and was glared at by her fiercely, and she didn't cry or make trouble, obediently leaning on Xu Mingzhou's side, her eyes were still wet and looking at the cage at Xu Mingxuan's feet, Mink was so cute, how could she be locked in the cage!

"Tell me, what the hell is going on?" Lin Shuran first set her eyes on Xu Mingxuan, she knew that Xu Mingxuan, the eighth child, likes to raise all kinds of strange small animals, this is his hobby, and he also supports it, and there is a special place for him to raise it in his own grange, so he usually doesn't bring small animals into the General's Mansion again, and today is an exception.

Xu Mingxuan lowered his head guiltily, he felt Lin Shuran's inquiring gaze, and raised his head a little timidly to explain: "Mother, I'm sorry, it's all my fault, I shouldn't have brought the ferret home, I didn't expect the little sister to appear, and she also released the ferret, which caused the seventh brother to be scratched again!" ”

"Where did you get this ferret?" Lin Shuran also looked at the two little guys in the cage, with a slender and round streamlined body, pure white and bright fur, a pair of snowy eyes, and a ruddy nose, which looked very smart and cute.

Xu Mingxuan replied: "I met Pei Shao when I was on the street today, he gave it to me, saying that he found it when he went to sea, and there was originally a nest, these two were stupid and didn't run away, and they happened to meet me, so they gave it to me." I wanted to go back to the house to get some things and then send them to the Grange, but when I went to look for something, Manman ran in, and she didn't know that she was afraid, so she opened the cage and grabbed a ferret out with one hand, and the seventh brother was worried that the ferret would hurt her, so she wanted to take the opportunity to catch the ferret from her hand, but the ferret hurt the seventh brother instead. ”

It turned out to be like this, Lin Shuran didn't expect Pei Shao to return to the capital unknowingly, and then she turned to her daughter Xu Manman and said: "Manman, this is called a ferret is not a rabbit, don't touch them easily, it's easy to get hurt, you know?" Look at it, Brother Qi's hands are injured for you, you can't do this again next time, you know? ”

"Mother lies, mink don't bite at all, they are good ferrets, they are my friends, you don't put my friends in cages, I want them to play with me, woo woo, let the mink out, they don't hurt people!" Xu Manman cried again as she spoke, and it could be seen that she liked these two ferrets very much.

"Man must be obedient, I see that these two ferrets have not retreated, and they still need to be domesticated for a while, and when your starling is domesticated, can you play with them again?" Ferrets can be kept as pets, but these two are in danger of hurting people, Xu Manman is still young, and Lin Shuran is afraid that the ferret will hurt her.
