Notes of Lanxi Crossing

"But sister Xi'er is not at home, it seems that you are going to be disappointed, maybe, you can take it back, and when sister Xi'er comes back, you can visit again." Zhan Jin suggested.

Song Lanjiu laughed a few times, helpless at their procrastination: "Why is it so troublesome, we just go and find her, and Hanshan Temple is not far away, so why not go there."

Zhan Chen's eyes lit up. If he could do this, he could personally give the gift he made carefully to Sister Xi'er.

"Yes, we can give Lanxi a surprise. I don't know what the scenery of Hanshan Temple is like. I haven't been out of the capital yet!" The fifth prince was very excited when he heard that, and he agreed with this proposal.

"I've been to that place several times. The environment is quiet and the scenery is unique. There is a peach forest on the mountainside of the temple. That's where my sister Xi'er and I met last time." Zhan Chen replied.

Zhan Jin is also a little moved, but they are the children of the royal family after all, and going out of the city is not as good as going out of the palace.

Seeing Zhan Jin's hesitation, Zhan Chen reminded: "Why don't you tell His Highness the Crown Prince, if he agrees, you can take a few palace guards with you."

"Okay, that's it, I'll send someone to the high-speed highway, Brother Prince, Brother Ninth, prepare the carriage first, and we'll set off right away!" Zhan Yu made a final decision.

Song Lanjiu had nothing to do, there were no bandits around the capital and they would bring guards with them, so there was no danger.

It's just going to the outskirts of Beijing, and he usually runs horses for more than this far.

"Okay, since we're going, let's all go. You inform the prince, and I'll send someone to inform Shuhuan, so that the girl won't say that we don't want to take her with us."

Several people acted separately, and after a while, a small team assembled and headed in the direction of Lanxi.

Lan Xi, who put on a neat peasant short shirt, didn't know that the third brother was coming to her with a large number of friends.

She tugged at the hem of her clothes in novelty, opened the simple wooden door of the farmhouse, and smiled brightly at the little girl guarding outside.

"Young lady, thank you for your clothes, I'm wearing them just right!"

Young Niang looked at the official lady who had changed into her own clothes, her eyes widened: "You're welcome, you're welcome, you dress much better than me."

It's really strange, it's obviously the same clothes, why does this young lady look so good in it?The young lady was puzzled in her heart.

Lan Xi sighed slightly in her heart, it's not that she looks good in clothes, it's just that she has flesh on her body and eats tenderly, so ordinary clothes won't look too ugly.

And the young mother’s family is poor, so it’s good to be able to eat enough. At a young age, her hair is withered and yellow, her face is thin, and she often goes to work in the fields, so her skin is tanned and dark, and she doesn’t look good in any clothes.

Lan Xi tore a silver bead from the bracelet and stuffed it into the young girl's hand like a chicken's claw.

"Young lady, I borrowed your clothes. This is my rent. You keep it. During the busy farming season, it consumes a lot. Let your mother buy some meat for you to make up for it!"

Youniang panicked and wanted to refuse, but she was also afraid that she would fall to this precious young lady with her strength, so she could only passively spread her hands, not daring to hold the silver bead in her palm.

"How can this be? How can my clothes be worth so much money?"

"This one is hollow, and it's enough for you to eat good food for a few days. It's not worth mentioning to me, so you can keep it."

Lan Xi held her hand and closed her fingers one by one.

Although the clothes looked old, they were washed very clean. The rare thing was that there were no patches on them, which showed that the owner cherished this set of clothes very much, and probably wouldn't wear them easily.

What's more, her family knew about her own affairs, so when she messed around, she didn't know how to measure it, and she might make people's clothes dirty, or even tear them.

At that time, she will also have to make up for it.

The young lady couldn't beat Lanxi, so she could only carefully hold the silver bead to find her mother.

Worried that the young lady would be punished by her mother, Lanxi took Baizhi Baixue and followed her to find the woman who was busy in the field.

"You shallow-sighted, how dare you ask for a reward for borrowing clothes from you, little nobleman? With such precious silver beads, wait for the little nobleman's mother to find me, and see if I can protect you!"

Sure enough, as soon as the young mother explained the reason of the matter, the woman frowned and raised her hand to hit her.

"Stop!" Lan Xi hurriedly stopped her, "I insist on giving this to her, I don't want to owe you any favors, if I give you the money, we'll settle the matter, and you're not allowed to beat her!"

Lan Xi is also helpless, sometimes a parent is so authoritarian, if she doesn't speak louder, people will still beat and scold her daughter.

The young lady shrank her neck and gave her a grateful look.

After hearing Lan Xi's words, the woman's brown and shriveled face relaxed. It's not that she didn't want the silver beads, but she was worried that the nobleman would punish her. Since Lan Xi sincerely wanted to give it, she was of course happy.

She wiped her muddy hands casually on the front of her shirt, snatched the silver bead from her daughter's hand, and looked at it carefully.

Although this silver bead is hollow, the carvings on it are extraordinarily delicate, and it is enough to change the coarse cloth clothes on Lanxi's body.

The young mother was robbed of the silver bead by her own mother, she felt regretful, and could only look at the silver bead in her mother's hand reluctantly.

Lan Xi watched silently, and didn't intend to give her another one, too much is too much, if she is too easy to talk, it will be bad.

The woman knew that the little nobleman was a money-spreader, so she hurriedly ordered her daughter to treat her well.

"Take the little nobleman for a walk around, and make her play happily. You don't need to cook the meals!"

When the young lady heard the words, she was happy and surprised, and immediately came to Lanxi: "Miss noble, let's go to the place where the millet is dried. There are many birds there. I will catch one for you!"

When Lan Xi heard the words, his heart moved, could it be a sparrow?

Thinking of the taste of roasted sparrows, Lan Xi swallowed.

"Okay, then let's go quickly and let Baizhi and Baixue help catch it together. Also, you call me Lanxi...you are the same as them, just call me Miss."

Bai Zhi and Bai Xue looked at each other, they were already familiar with Miss's appearance, and knew that she had come up with some irritating idea again.

The young lady nodded: "Miss, come with me!"

Youniang was the first to trot towards a path, and Lan Xi immediately followed. Bai Zhi and Bai Xue were worried that she would fall into a puddle by the road, so they had to catch up quickly.

"Miss, slow down, be careful not to get caught by the weeds on the side of the road!" Bai Xue shouted behind Lan Xi.

"Understood, your speed is too slow, keep up!" Lan Xi replied without turning his head, his thighs swung alternately, and in a blink of an eye, he opened a long distance from the two behind.

Youniang originally wanted to stop and wait for her, but Lan Xi kept following her a few steps away.

"What's wrong?" Lan Xi asked her.

The young lady shook her head, she was just wondering why this noble lady ran as fast as her.
