His body looks thin, which is caused by chronic malnutrition, but he is already twelve years old.
"Twelve?"
Bai Lanran looked him up and down.
She is so skinny and small that she barely has any weight on her back. If she is twelve years old, she will really have been wronged when she grew up.
Thinking of the suffering he had suffered before, Bai Linran smiled and patted his small shoulder, looking at him with a bright smile, "From now on, my sister promises to keep you fat and healthy, so that you can recover from your injuries with peace of mind."
She originally thought that Qianlan was only seven or eight years old, but she didn't expect that he was already twelve.
How much suffering does one have to endure to destroy a child like this?
His childhood was probably even worse than hers.
After talking to Qian Lan, Bai Lianran left the ward and sat in the front lobby to chat with Chu Mu for a while.
Chu Mu told her about the difficult and complicated diseases he had encountered in the past few days and discussed it with her for a while.
Bai Ranran was not as experienced as Chu Mu in medical skills, but she was extremely talented, had excellent theoretical knowledge, and spoke clearly and logically, which made Chu Mu admire her.
She couldn't stop talking about medical matters. Taozi saw that she was talking seriously and didn't dare to come forward and disturb her. Before she knew it, it was already past noon.
Bai Ranran stretched out and stretched her somewhat stiff neck. She stood up and waved to Chu Mu and Tian Yuehe, "I'm going home for dinner. You guys should have lunch too."
The medical center provides room and board, and there is a fixed monthly food fee. It is up to them to decide whether to buy food or cook it themselves.
Tian Yuehe knows how to take care of the accounts, so Bai Lianran comes over at the end of every month to do the accounting.
She checked her account books yesterday and found that the drug store's recent profits were very good and its return on investment was fast.
When she came in the morning, she asked Yang Zhuang to drive the carriage back first, and now she could only walk back with Tao Zi.
Walking on the street, I couldn't help but want to take a look at the things sold at the stalls.
She had no intention of buying anything, but when she saw a hairpin that looked like purple crystal, she suddenly stopped.
"Boss, how do you sell this?"
"Boss, show me this."
A crisp sound came out at the same time as Bai Eran.
Bai Ranran looked back and saw a girl in green standing behind her.
The girl looked young. She was dressed in rich clothes and had high-quality accessories. She was followed by two maids. She should not be a girl from an ordinary family.
The girl looked at Bai Lanran with doubtful eyes, "Whose family do you belong to? How can you afford to wear Yuehua Brocade?"
You know, the Duke's mansion in her own country only had a few pieces of Yuehua brocade that were rewarded by His Majesty, so she only got a set of clothes.
The woman in front of me, her cloak and the clothes underneath were all made of moonflower brocade.
"Jin Man, don't be rude!"
A clear male voice came from behind the girl, and Bai Linran noticed that the man standing behind the girl turned out to be Ning Zhiyuan, the prince of Zhenguo who had asked her to be his concubine.
Although he asked her to become his concubine, she was not angry with him, she just found it a bit funny.
Her expression remained unchanged, and she saluted him distantly and indifferently, "I have met the Crown Prince."
"Miss Bai, I really can't bear this gift from you." Ning Zhiyuan looked at Bai Lianran with a slightly complicated expression in his eyes.
Bai Ranran was wearing an aqua blue cloak today. The fur collar at the collar was made of white long hair, covering her entire chin.
Her cheeks were slightly red from the cold, and the red and white contrasted with each other, making her look even more lovely and attractive.
That day, he knew that his family had made Bai Linran his concubine against his wishes, and he wanted to find Bai Linran to explain and apologize.
But he learned that Bai Lianran was Mo Shaohua's sweetheart, so in order to avoid suspicion, he didn't bother her anymore.
He thought that after not seeing her for a while, he would give up his thoughts about her, but when they meet again, his heart is still beating for her.
It's just that the first time I saw her, I was completely moved.
This time, my heartbeat was mixed with a bit of sadness that I couldn't get what I wanted.
Bai Ranran smiled calmly and distantly, "Then I'll take my leave."
She wanted to buy the hairpin itself as a gift to Jiang, but she never liked to compete with others for things they liked.
It's just a hairpin, it's not irreplaceable.
Moreover, Jiang's age is more suitable for wearing a gold hairpin.
After she finished speaking, she walked around them and left with Tao Zi.
"Miss Bai, wait."
Ning Zhiyuan stopped Bai Lianran, threw a gold ingot to the stall owner, picked up the amethyst hairpin, and caught up with Bai Lianran.
He handed the hairpin to Bai Linran, "Miss Bai, this is my apology for damaging your carriage. I hope you accept it."
Ning Jinman saw Ning Zhiyuan giving away her favorite things to others, and chased after her dissatisfied, "Brother, I like this too, why don't you give it to me? If you damage her carriage, just pay some money, what are you doing?
Give her something I like as compensation? Besides, she is the one who is dearest to Prince Ning, so what else do I need from you?"
She just heard Ning Zhiyuan call Bai Linran Miss Bai, and then she remembered the rumors a few days ago, and now she knew why Bai Linran was wearing Yuehua Brocade.
The pheasant that flew up to the branch relied on its beauty to coax the man to come here.
"Jinman!"
Ning Zhiyuan stopped her and said warmly to Bai Ranran: "My sister-in-law is used to being arrogant at home, Miss Bai, don't blame her."
Bai Ranran glanced at Ning Jinman who was fuming, with a half-smile at the corner of her mouth, and looked her up and down with her amber eyes.
Ning Jinman was flustered by her look, but she glared at her unwilling to be outdone.
Ning Zhiyuan looked at Bai Lanran with a somewhat obsessed look, and forgot to give the hairpin as a gift.
Bai Ranran looked at Ning Jinman for a while, then reluctantly stretched out her little hand from her warm sleeves and took the hairpin from Ning Zhiyuan's hand.
Ning Zhiyuan thought she would refuse, so he looked at her in surprise, but saw her inserting the hairpin into Ning Jinman's bun.
Bai Ranran smiled and thanked Ning Zhiyuan, "Thank you, Your Majesty. I have accepted the hairpin, and the matter of the carriage has been revealed. Now we are settled."
After she finished speaking, she looked at Ning Jinman, who was still dazed, and said with a smile: "I saw that the girl fell in love with her, and since she likes it, I will borrow flowers to offer to Buddha, and give this hairpin to her."
After saying that, she nodded to the two of them, put her little hands back into her armholes, and left with Taozi.
She didn't want to get into more trouble with them, so she pretended not to notice Ning Jinman's hostility.
This little girl, I don’t know where the hostility towards her comes from?
And this prince, isn't it nice to be so cool and unrestrained? He has to be obsessed with a woman.
When they first met, she felt that Ning Zhiyuan should be Ning Zhiyuan, not the prince who wanted to have something to do with her.
Seeing Bai Ranran's back walking away, Ning Jinman finally came back to her senses. She was so angry that she took off the hairpin on her head and threw it to the ground.
The hairpin fell to the ground and broke into two pieces. She was so angry that she stepped on it again.
"Prince Ning is just a woman raised outside. He really thinks that he is a phoenix flying on a branch, and he has the nerve to give alms to me."
"Ning Jinman, listen to what you said. Is this what a young lady from a high family should say?"
Ning Zhiyuan looked at his sister with disappointment, his eyes were full of seriousness and coldness, which made Ning Jinman feel nervous.
She was a little afraid of Ning Zhiyuan's eyes, but the more she thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt, and she couldn't help crying, "Brother, you were mean to me for that woman. You have never been mean to me before. I hate you."
After she finished speaking, she pushed Ning Zhiyuan away and ran away wiping her tears.
She didn't feel that she was wrong at all, she just felt that Ning Zhiyuan was cruel to her because of Bai Lanran, and she felt extremely aggrieved.
No wonder Jiang Wanyue, who is so gentle, calls her a vixen. This woman is a natural vixen who specializes in seducing men.
Ning Zhiyuan watched the maid chasing after him, bent down to pick up the broken hairpin on the ground, stood up and followed her.
Bai Linran, who had already walked out of the street, sneezed, frowned and muttered, "Don't worry, you have a cold. You have to go home quickly and have something warm to eat."
