Before Lan Xi came into this world, Song Lanxi loved to cling to his elder brother Song Lanzhang. At that time, he often combed his little sister's hair.

Now Lan Xi no longer has this habit, but it does not prevent him from straightening her hair naturally and retying her scattered hair into a small bundle with great skill.

Lan Xi shook her head happily, then reached out and touched the small bun on her head, praising him without hesitation.

"Thank you, brother. You tied it up really well. It doesn't hurt at all!"

Not only does it not hurt, it is not so loose that it will fall off. The skill of combing hair is comparable to that of Bai Xue and others.

Song Lanjiu looked at Lan Xi's proud look and wanted to tear her newly tied bag apart again. He pressed down his hand that was about to move. With his elder brother here, he didn't dare to make any more trouble.

"Brother, since you are also going home, let's not ride horses. Let's walk back together."

"Yes, brother, if I don't want to be with Third Brother, he will make fun of me. He made my hair look like that."

Just as Song Lanjiu likes to provoke Lan Xi, she also likes to accuse him in front of all her relatives. She is particularly happy every time she sees him jumping up and down in anger.

Sure enough, Song Lanzhang glanced at his third brother disapprovingly: "Why do you always like to torment my little sister?"

Little girls love to be pretty, but Xi'er has a tolerant temper. If it were any other little kid, he would definitely be made to cry by his third brother.

Song Lanjiu sighed at Jin Sui, and the two of them kissed each other and looked at each other again.

Sigh... Xi'er's backer has come, now he can only take a step back, wait until next time, he will get the situation back! Song Lanjiu thought to herself.

The three of them and one horse walked slowly towards the Song Mansion. Lan Xi didn't know that Song Lanjiu was secretly deciding to tease her next time, and was still thinking about asking Song Lanzhang what happened when he was walking alone just now.

"Brother, when we saw you just now, you seemed unhappy. Did something happen?"

Song Lanzhang didn't expect that his gaffe would be noticed by his younger siblings. He avoided Lan Xi's gaze unnaturally, but then he laughed at himself.

He never learned how to lie. Every time he was told something important, he would subconsciously avoid looking at him. Outsiders couldn't tell, but his family members and even Xiaodou Ding Lanxi could see right away.

But today, he really didn't want people to see the melancholy in his heart.

"Actually, it's not a big deal." Song Lanzhang no longer concealed his expression, showing a bit of sadness.

"Today I talked about my studies with my husband. He advised me to suspend the imperial examination and study all the way to Cangshan Academy and then become a disciple of Tomoko Lechu."

After a pause, he looked at his two younger brothers and sister with a gentle expression.

"At that time, I will travel far away from home, and only you three siblings will be with your parents at home. You two must not be as naughty and mischievous as before and make your parents worry."

"Study away from home?" Lan Xi repeated in confusion, "Then we have to be separated from you for the time being?"

Why so suddenly?

Lan Xi looked at her eldest brother with a clear face and felt a sudden reluctance in her heart.

"...Brother, do you have to go? Did your husband tell you when to set off?" Unknowingly, Song Lanjiu, who loved being lazy and had a bad smile on her face, also became solemn.

Song Lanzhang laughed. Although the two guys in front of him were a little naughty, they both valued their families very much and were both good children.

"You don't have to worry now. It's inconvenient to go out in winter. Even if you want to leave, you have to wait until spring."

Lan Xi immediately let go of the sigh that was held high in her chest, but she still felt a lot of loss and melancholy in her heart.

"Brother, I will definitely miss you after you leave home. You must remember to write to us every day!"

Song Lanjiu was a little sad at first, but after hearing Lan Xi's words, she couldn't help but give her a headache.

"I'm afraid you didn't wake up when you woke up in the morning. My eldest brother is going on a study tour, not to relax in the suburbs of the capital. How do you ask him to write a letter back in one day?"

Lan Xi covered her forehead, a little unconvinced. She knew that sending one letter every day might be a bit too much, but it wasn't impossible.

"Brother, you can write a letter every night before going to bed. You don't have to write too much, just half a page or a few sentences will do!"

Even if you can't send it out on the same day, you can still save it and send it once every half month or have someone bring it back.

Lan Xi scolded Song Lanjiu, but she didn't notice that Song Lanzhang on the side also looked a little embarrassed.

Seeing that Lan Xi really didn't understand, Song Lanjiu could only explain patiently:

"Xi'er, not all places in the world are as prosperous as the capital. In many places, there are only forests and thorns, and there are no roads, let alone a place to stay."

Song Lanjiu didn't say it directly, but she made it very obvious. Only then did Lan Xi realize that study tour was not only a word that gave people reverie and romance, but also contained the hardships and dangers of travelers.

Not eating well, sleeping well, being exposed to wind and rain are secondary concerns. You might not be able to find medicine if you get sick on the road, you might be chased by wolves and chased by snakes, or you might even encounter rogue bandits who dominate the mountains.

Thinking of this, Lan Xi looked at Song Lanzhang in panic and wanted to persuade him not to go, but the words came to her lips but she couldn't speak anyway.

Song Lanzhang shook his head and comforted softly: "Don't be afraid, Xi'er. The road that brother takes is official, and there will be no danger."

He knows how important he is to his family and will never risk his own safety easily.

Lan Xi knew that since her eldest brother chose to speak out about this matter, it meant that he had already made a decision in his heart. She could not change his decision without any particularly strong reasons.

Even so, she was really worried. After several years of getting along, she had long since regarded everyone in the Song family as her own relatives, and she would never allow anyone to be harmed.

"Brother, you don't have to travel on a budget to study, right?...I mean, maybe you can bring a few more escort brothers with you?"

Lan Xi gave him some advice: "They must have more experience than you when they traveled around in the early years. If anything happens, they won't make you blind."

Lan Xi couldn't help but replace the male protagonist in the movie and TV series she had watched with the handsome face of her elder brother, and suddenly felt a chill in her heart.

No way, no way!

She didn't want Song Lanzhang to be like the poor scholar in the TV series, carrying a suitcase and at most a boy, traveling through mountains and rivers, and encountering either vixens or female ghosts.

"Xi'er is right this time. Brother, you not only need to bring more guards, you can even travel with the caravan or the escort bureau. My master said that the martial arts of the escorts in the several escort bureaus in Beijing are quite good.
