Chapter 56 Surprise
Author: Lier Wine
"But Sister Xi'er is not at home. It seems that you are going to be disappointed. Maybe you can take it back and wait for Sister Xi'er to come back to visit again." Zhan Jing suggested.
Song Lanjiu laughed a few times, but they were helpless: "Why do you need such trouble? Let's just go find her? Hanshan Temple is not far away. What's the harm in going there?"
Zhan Chen's eyes lit up. If this could be true, he could give his carefully crafted gift to Sister Xi'er with his own hands.
"Yes, we can give Lanxi a surprise. I don't know what the scenery of Hanshan Temple is. I haven't left the capital yet!" The fifth prince was very excited when he heard this and agreed with this proposal.
"I have been there a few times. The environment is quiet and the scenery is unique. There is a peach forest on the hillside of the temple. Last time, my sister Xier and I met there." Zhan Chen replied.
Zhan Jing was also a little moved, but after all, they were royal children and could not leave the palace when they left the city.
Seeing Zhan Jing's hesitation, Zhan Chen reminded him: "It's better to say to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. If he agrees, you can bring a few palace guards together."
"Okay, that's it. I'll send someone to tell the prince brother, Brother Jiu, you prepare the carriage first, we'll set off right away!" Zhan Yu made the final decision.
Song Lanjiu is invincible. There are no bandits around the capital and they will also bring guards, so what dangers can there be?
It's just going to the suburbs of Beijing, and he usually runs more than that far.
"Okay, since you are going, then go all the time. You inform the prince and I will send someone to inform Shu Huan so that the girl will not tell her if we go out and play."
Several people acted separately, and soon a small team gathered toward the direction where Lanxi was.
Lan Xi, who had put on a neat farm shirt, didn't know that the third brother was coming to her with a large number of friends.
She pulled her clothes novelly, opened the simple wooden door of the farmhouse, and raised a bright smile at the little girl guarding outside.
"Young mom, thank you for your clothes, I'm wearing it just right!"
The young lady looked at the official lady who had changed into her clothes and her eyes widened: "No need to thank you, no need to thank you, you look much better than me."
It's really strange. It's obviously the same clothes, why does this lady look so good when wearing it? The young lady was confused in her heart.
Lan Xi sighed in her heart, it was not that she looked good in clothes, but that she had meat on her body and ate white and tender, so that she would not look too ugly when wearing ordinary clothes.
My young mother's family is poor, so it's good to be able to eat enough. At a young age, she has a dry and yellow hair, a thin face, and often goes to the fields to work, making her skin dark and dark, so she can't look good when wearing anything.
Lan Xi pulled a silver bead from the bracelet and stuffed it into the young lady's hand like chicken feet.
"Young mother, I borrowed your clothes. This is my rent. You collect it. It consumes a lot during the busy farming season. Let your mother buy some meat for you to replenish it!"
The young lady panicked that she wanted to refuse, but she was afraid that she would fall the precious lady with great strength, so she could only passively spread her hands and dare not hold the silver bead in her palm.
"How can this be? Where is my clothes worth so much money."
"This is hollow, which is enough for you to eat good food for a few days. It's not worth mentioning to me, so just keep it."
Lan Xi held her hands and closed her fingers one by one.
Although the clothes look old, they are washed very clean. What is rare is that there is no patch on it. It can be seen that the owner cherishes this set of clothes very much and is afraid that they don’t wear them easily in normal times.
What's more, her family knows her own affairs, so she doesn't have a proper way of making trouble, and may make her clothes dirty and even tore them torn.
Then, she will also make additional compensation.
How could the young mother be able to resist Lan Xi? She could only carefully hold the silver bead and go to find her mother.
Worried that the young mother would be punished by her mother, Lan Xi took Bai Zhi and Bai Xue to follow her to find the woman who was busy in the field.
"You are so shallow. How dare you ask for rewards for borrowing clothes from you? After you get such a precious silver bead and wait for the little noble mother to come to you, see if I can protect you!"
Sure enough, as soon as the young mother told the reason, the woman frowned and raised her hand to hit her.
"Stop!" Lan Xi quickly stopped her, "I insisted on giving her this. I don't want to owe you favors. If you give it money, we will settle the matter. You are not allowed to hit her!"
Lan Xi is also helpless. Sometimes parents are so dictatorial. If she doesn't say it more powerfully, they will still beat and scold her daughter.
The young lady shrank her neck and looked at her gratefully.
The woman's yellow-brown and shriveled face relaxed when she heard Lan Xi's words. She didn't want the silver beads, but she was just worried that the noble man would ask for the crime. Since Lan Xi sincerely wanted to give it to her, she was of course happy.
She wiped her hand covered in mud casually on the lapel, snatched the silver bead from her daughter's hand, and looked carefully.
Although the silver bead is hollow, the carvings on it are particularly exquisite, and it can be changed to the coarse cloth clothes on Lanxi.
The young mother snatched the silver beads by her biological mother. She felt regretful and could only look at the silver beads in her mother's hand reluctantly.
Lan Xi looked at her silently, not planning to give her another one. Too much is worse than too much. If she is too easy to talk to, it will be bad.
The woman knew that the little nobleman was a boy with money, so she hurriedly asked her daughter to treat her well.
"You take the little nobleman to walk around and make her happy. You don't have to cook food!"
When the young lady heard this, she was happy and surprised and immediately came to Lanxi: "Miss Guiren, let's go to the place where the millet is drying. There are many birds there. I'll catch one for you!"
When Lan Xi heard this, her heart moved. Could it be a sparrow?
Thinking of the taste of roasted sparrows, Lanxi swallowed.
"Okay, then let's go quickly and let Bai Zhi and Bai Xue help catch it. Also, call me Lan Xi... Just call me Miss like them."
Bai Zhi and Bai Xue looked at each other. They had already known the lady's appearance and knew that she had come up with another harsh idea.
The young lady nodded: "Miss, come with me!"
The young lady was the first to trot towards a small path, and Lan Xi immediately followed. Bai Zhi and Bai Xue were worried that she would fall into the puddle on the side of the road, so they had to catch up with her quickly.
"Miss, please wait a little bit and be careful to be tripped by the weeds on the roadside!" Bai Xue shouted behind Lanxi.
"I understand, your speed is too slow, keep up!" Lan Xi answered without looking back, her thighs moved alternately, and in a blink of an eye, she was getting a long distance away from the two behind her.
The young lady originally wanted to stop and wait for her, but she didn't expect that Lan Xi was following her a few steps away.
"What's wrong?" Lan Xi asked her.
