Notes of Lanxi Crossing

Chapter 4 Background
Song Lanjiu was not annoyed, instead she leaned over to squeeze Liu Yunyao's shoulders and beat her back, coaxing her to smile.

Lanxi's information is almost collected, except for the man who is in charge of the Song family, Lanxi's cheap father.

"Mother, third brother was still laughing at me just now, let daddy take care of him!" Lan Xi held his head high, acting like a spoiled child to Liu Yunyao.

"Daddy is still dealing with official business at the government office, and he can only come back at night." Song Lanshu smiled softly at the younger sister.

"Then why didn't dad come to see me yesterday?"

Liu Yunyao explained to her in a gentle voice: "Why didn't you look at it? At that time he went to the court in the morning, and when he came back, you fell asleep again. If you want to see him, you can pester him when he comes later." yes."

"Daddy belongs to mother, so I won't pester him!"

Lan Xi smiled and answered casually, as long as it doesn't hurt her.

As soon as this remark came out, everyone looked strange, and each corner of their mouths held back their laughter.

"Cough...cough..."

Song Lanzhang covered his sleeves and coughed lightly, and glanced at her with a smile in his eyes, Lan Xi immediately turned around knowingly.

Said Cao Cao, Cao Cao.

Behind Lanxi, Song Qinnian's handsome face could no longer hold back the gentle temperament, he smiled so much that his teeth could not be seen, he raised his eyebrows proudly at his wife, and Liu Yunyao spat at him in a low voice in shame.

"Xi'er is right, daddy is your mother's, no one is allowed to rob her!"

As soon as Song Qinnian came in, he took his precious little daughter from his wife and held her firmly in his arms.

Lan Xi was a little guilty, but the corners of his mouth were curved, and he pretended not to understand with his pure eyes.

"You man, why are you still talking nonsense like Xi'er!"

The beauty girl became angry from embarrassment, she just wanted to hurry through this embarrassing moment.

"Where is Xi'er's medicine, it should not be hot by now, and it should be completely cold later, bring it to her and drink it."

Lan Xi was dumbfounded, she almost forgot about it, but she is not a real child, for the sake of her health, she should drink this medicine.

After the medicine was finished, Song Qinnian cared about her health for a while, and promised to take her fishing when she recovered.

Lan Xi suspected that Song Qinnian was using her as an excuse, but actually wanted to go fishing, because Lan Jiu beside him had the words "I knew it!" written all over his face.

Song Qinnian was a fourth-rank official. If he was in another city, his position would be pretty good, but if he was placed in the capital city where there are third- and fourth-rank officials all over the streets, it would not be enough.

Liu Yunyao's natal family has a lot of background, a family of imperial doctors, and her father Liu Hongzhi is the head of the imperial hospital.

However, that was once!

Liu Yunyao has not been interested in medical skills since she was a child. Although Liu Hongzhi regrets it, he has nothing to do with this only beloved daughter.

After Liu Hongzhi retired and returned to his hometown, apart from some old friends from the past, there were still a few people in Beijing who knew someone like Liu Yunyao.

Fortunately, she also has a brother, Liu Xinwei, who is now the captain of the imperial army, in charge of the security of the capital city, and Song Qinnian helps each other, so the official road is not too difficult.

When the Song family gets along on a daily basis, Liu Yunyao is the strict mother, so Song Qinnian is the loving father.

Taking advantage of his free time, he cared about his children's schoolwork one by one.

Lan Zhang and Lan Shu, who are very self-demanding, naturally don't have to worry about it. Only Lan Jiu, since Song Qinnian started asking Song Lanzhang, he couldn't sit still under his buttocks.

However, Song Qinnian was very bad, so he deliberately didn't ask him. After asking his eldest son and second daughter successively, he Shi Shiran looked at Song Lanjiu who had already been sitting on acupuncture.

"Jiu'er, let me see, do you have sores under your buttocks, why don't dad call Doctor Liang to take a look?"

Liu Hongzhi used to work in the Imperial Hospital with Doctor Liang, so the latter also took care of the Song family. He came to treat Lanxi in the middle of the night last night.

Lan Xi was so teased that he giggled, let this little brat laugh at her earlier, the feng shui took turns, now it's his turn!
Fortunately, Lan Jiu loves martial arts but not literature, so he tends to be lazy in reading, but he is not lacking in cleverness. After stumbling, Song Qinnian still answered all of Song Qinnian's questions.

Lan Xi didn't really want to see him get embarrassed, and when he finished speaking, he applauded him very face-savingly, which made him a little embarrassed.

After all, Lan Xi was still ill, and she was a three-year-old baby. After everyone finished talking, Liu Yunyao coaxed her to sleep.

In fact, Lan Xi, who had just drank a large bowl of medicinal soup, was not sleepy at all, and was even a little overwhelmed.

But thinking that the longer she stays, the easier it is to be exposed, and the days to come will be long, so she obediently followed Lu Luo to the inner room.

Half a month later, Lan Xi drank the last decoction under the service of Lu Luo.

She had already finished drinking the medicine she prescribed when she was sick, but Liu Yunyao returned with some medicine to strengthen her body, which made her suffer for a long time.

Luluo took down the bowl with some medicine dregs, and poured a glass of warm water for Lanxi to rinse her mouth.

"It's so bitter!" Lan Xi frowned in pain.

"Miss, would you like some preserved fruits?" Lu Luo brought a small plate of preserved plums, paused, and added a few words for fear that Lanxi would be greedy.

"However, Madam has ordered you not to eat too much at one time, as it will easily damage your teeth."

Lan Xi nodded, thought for a while, took out two of them and put them in his hand, and pushed the rest along with the small plate to Lu Luo.

"Bai Xue Bai Zhi is still learning the rules from the big girl, you can eat it."

"Thanks for Miss's concern!" Lu Luo thanked Bai Zhi for both.

"Those two girls are doing well now, they will be able to learn and come back to play with you in these two days."

At such a young age, Miss can still think about the newcomers around her, so she will definitely be a kind master in the future.

Because Lanxi has already spent half a month here, and her hair has grown a lot.

Before going to bed yesterday, Liu Yunyao told Lu Luo to take Lan Xi to the main courtyard to find her at noon, and she wanted to cut Lan Xi's hair herself.

Lan Xi: "..."

Is she remembering wrongly?
Isn't ancient hair very important, it can be cut casually?
Lan Xi obviously wanted to go wrong, if he didn't cut his hair, would he keep it for the rest of his life?
If the ancients never cut their hair, wouldn't everyone have to drag their long hair to sweep the floor.

Lan Xi didn't get too entangled, and after enjoying it for a while, was hugged by Lu Luo all the way to the main courtyard.

Before entering the door, she heard laughter in the yard.

Lan Xi suddenly got excited, slipped from Lu Luo's embrace, rushed into the room and hugged Liu Yunyao's leg.

"Mom, why are you so happy?"

"Of course mother is happy, Xi'er, mother has received an invitation from the eldest princess' mansion, inviting us to the lotus feast together!"

Liu Yunyao waved a flimsy piece of gold-plated red paper in her hand, her face beaming with spring.

Princess Palace?It sounds great!
No wonder her mother is so happy, this means that their family's status in Beijing has improved!

And this is thanks to her father's great contribution to the investigation of corrupt officials this time.

In recent years, the Jingyan Dynasty has enjoyed good weather, the country is prosperous and the people are peaceful, but the taxes received by the court have been decreasing year by year. The emperor noticed that the rats in the court had a growing appetite, so he sent his father to investigate secretly.
