Chapter 494: Grange Reunion
Whether Concubine Xian was sent to the cold palace or Liu Rui was sent to prison, Lin Shuran didn't have time to care, calculating the time, Xu Junze and the fifth uncle were about to come back.
In the hot summer, the academy will give the students a few days off, and the fruits and vegetables in the Grange are harvesting again, so Lin Shuran took the children to the Grange on this day, and invited Chen Jiayu, Lei Yingying and others.
In the land of beautiful mountains and rivers, Xu Minghao took Lei Haobai and Du Yuan to go down to the river to learn to swim in the water, and Xu Manman also wanted to follow, but she was young and a girl, so Chunxi pulled her to play in the shade on the shore.
"Brother Seven, I want fish, big fish!" Xu Manman pointed to the river that was fluttering by Xu Minghao and shouted, just when her brothers were in the water, she saw a lot of fish jumping up.
"Don't worry, I'll catch you a big fish!" I saw Lei Haobai in the river stabbing down with a fierce man, and when he emerged from the water again, he had already raised a big fish with both hands and shouted at Xu Manman on the shore, "Manman, do you like this fish?"
Xu Manman immediately clapped his little hands and shouted excitedly at Lei Haobai, "I like it, I like it, Brother Bai, you are so amazing!"
Hearing Xu Manman's praise, Lei Haobai was very happy, hugged the fish and went ashore, and then put the fish next to Xu Manman.
"You wait, Brother Bai will catch fish for you again!" As long as Xu Manman likes it, Lei Haobai will achieve it unconditionally.
The brothers of the Xu family in the water saw that their little sister liked big fish, and they all touched the fish again in the river, and after a while, Xu Manman had five or six big fish jumping around him.
Chunxi smiled and said, "Little Miss, now Miss can cook fish for everyone to eat today, and the fried fish, grilled fish, fried fish, and stewed fish made by Miss are all delicious, and the slaves and maids are all hungry!"
Xu Manman said in a milky voice that she wanted her mother to make fish to eat today, and she had to try the way Chunxi said to eat it.
At this moment, the people of the Grange brought a cart of watermelons, and they also put the watermelons in the cold river water, and the watermelons flowed downstream of the river, and there were many mountain people and people living in the lower reaches of the river, and these melons were given to them to eat, and they would keep the watermelon seeds after eating, because the people of the Grange would teach them how to grow watermelons.
The naughty Xu Minghao directly intercepted a watermelon, and then held it with both hands and directly knocked his head on the watermelon, the crisp melon sound came, and the watermelon immediately cracked, and the sweet juice flowed out, and then the others rushed up, everyone laughed and ate this carving, even the melon skin They were not willing to throw it away, but threw it to the wild ducks waiting on the side.
Since Lin Shuran planted watermelons, she would send some to the queen mother, emperor, and concubine Yun in the palace, and then send some to other familiar families, and then invite friends to eat in the melon garden of the Grange.
"This melon is good this year, it's big and round, I want to eat it!" Lin Shuran was bending down to pick watermelons in the melon orchard, and suddenly heard a hearty laugh behind her, she turned her head in surprise to look, and found that the fifth uncle had raised his hand to pick a big watermelon and was patting it gently, while Honggu and Xu Junze were standing next to him, and the divine doctor Sun Qihuang had already knocked on a melon and was eating it.
"What kind of melon is this? It's delicious, it's delicious, it's thirst-quenching!" Sun Qihuang praised while eating.
"You're back!" Lin Shuran turned around and walked briskly towards a few people, the road in the melon garden was uneven, Xu Junze was worried that she would fall down in a hurry, so he hurriedly greeted her.
"Be careful, you're all right?" Xu Junze stepped forward to grab Lin Shuran and asked her to slow down, seeing that her face was ruddy, and her eyes also showed a look of relief, from the correspondence, he learned that Pei Shao had given Cordyceps sinensis to Lin Shuran, and Su Ge also used this medicinal material to remove the root of the disease for Lin Shuran.
Lin Shuran nodded, looking at Xu Junze as if there were stars in her eyes, every reunion after separation made her feel happy and excited, although she was already an old husband and wife, but seeing him really standing by her side, her love would not be wrapped, and at the same time, she felt steady.
I heard that Xu Junze and the fifth uncle were back, everyone gathered together, and the children were very happy to see them, the fifth uncle and Honggu may not have played with the children for a long time, and they said a few words to Lin Shuran and took the children into the mountains to play.
"You husband and wife haven't seen each other for a long time, we won't bother, go to your small garden and choose a few pots of flowers to take away, today we are going to stay for dinner!" Chen Jiayu smiled and Lei Yingying left, they are not polite to Lin Shuran now, they can eat when they should eat, take what they should take, and never see each other.
"What's the trouble or not, I'm going to go to the back kitchen to cook for you, but I don't have time to pay attention to him!" Lin Shuran deliberately smiled and glanced at Xu Junze, they are not a newlywed couple, how can they be so tired after meeting, there are many people in the Grange today, she has to go to the back kitchen to help.
Unexpectedly, Xu Junze didn't feel embarrassed, and replied with a smile: "I'll do it for you!"
"General Xu, do you know how to cook?" Lei Yingying also smiled and joked about Xu Junze, a famous iron-blooded general of the Jin Dynasty, who was able to enter the kitchen for his wife, which was a rare thing, and he was not afraid to say it and damage his reputation as a general.
Xu Junze replied seriously: "I don't know how to do it, but for the sake of comfort, I can learn, as long as she likes to eat, I can learn to do it!"
"Who would have thought that General Xu, who is not smiling and cold in front of outsiders, would love his wife so much, Sister Shu Ran, you are really blessed!" Chen Jiayu also laughed.
"Sister Jiayu!" Being ridiculed by Lei Yingying and Chen Jiayu like this, Lin Shuran also felt shy, but his heart was sweet.
Who knows, at this time, Lei Zhanpeng, Wei Ying, Du Sheng, Pei Shao and others, who learned of Xu Junze's return, also came, and Wei Ying happened to hear Chen Jiayu's words, and immediately said, "For you, I can too!"
Chen Jiayu's face turned red, Lei Yingying bumped her arm with a sullen smile, but Du Sheng also smiled and said that he had already practiced cooking skills for his wife at home, and several people couldn't compare to him in terms of cooking, so Lei Yingying was embarrassed now.
Lin Shuran saw that everyone was coming, so he took the cook to prepare a lot of meals, and everyone got together for a reunion dinner.
After eating, the children continued to play with the fifth uncle and Honggu, someone watched the children, Lin Shuran and Xu Junze put melons and fruits in the grange, and found a cool place to chat.
The first thing to ask was naturally what happened to Xu Junze in the Xia Kingdom in the past few months, although Xu Junze wrote to the emperor to inform him of the situation, but Lei Zhanpeng didn't know the specific things, only knew that the current Xia Kingdom was very chaotic.
