Chapter 156
"Why are you here, I'm still thinking that after I finish eating with your mother, I'll tell someone to go to your yard and bring you some! However, even now, you and I can't finish these things, and if we get you some new ones later, you may not be able to finish them. If you come here, there will be fewer of these things, and you won't have to make new ones, saving waste. The silver saved is enough for us to open a shed for soup soup for several days. It is better to do more things like accumulating virtue and doing good deeds. Lan Qiu served soup to Lan Xi and began to preach to Lan Xi.
Shangshu Mansion opened a shed to give porridge, and Lanqiu has insisted on it for many years.
I heard that it was because Lan Xi's health was not very good when he was a child, and he didn't look good after inviting a lot of Langzhong. Seeing that Lan Xi was getting weaker and weaker, Bai Qingyun really had no choice, and finally took people to the Hanshan Temple outside Youjing City to pray for Lan Xi. Later, when Bai Qingyun was leaving, he met the abbot of Hanshan Temple, and the abbot told Bai Qingyun that he could do some good things to accumulate virtue and blessings for Lan Xi, and if Lan Xi survived this catastrophe, it might be better.
At that time, it coincided with the severe drought in Weizhou, and many refugees went to Youjing to seek refuge. Bai Qingyun made a decision immediately, and after returning to the house, he opened a warehouse outside the house to put grain, and built a shed to give porridge. And he gave money and set up tents in the open space outside the city for the refugees to live in. Coincidentally, since the refugee incident has passed, Lan Xi has begun to slowly get better. The originally haggard and unsightly face gradually became a little ruddy.
Since then, Shangshufu has begun to have the habit of opening a shed to give porridge, and every month will choose a few days a month to give porridge in front of Shangshufu to do good. Until now, it has not been broken.
"My daughter knows, and it's not the first time my father has said it, and my daughter remembers it. I haven't wasted it before, and I won't waste it in the future, so Daddy can rest assured! It was not the first time Lan Xi had heard such words, and she dealt with the past very calmly.
"You are not young now, and the concubines of your age have generally assisted their own mothers or handled the affairs of the house alone. They are already handy with these things. You have not been in good health since you were a child, and you are such a child in this Shangshu Mansion, and your mother and I have been pampering you, these things are too troublesome, so I didn't let you learn to contact them. But now that you're almost at the age of getting married, if you can't do these things, what can you do after you leave the cabinet? I can't let your mother go with you and handle these things for you, right? So, I mean, you've been learning these things from your mother since tomorrow, and you're learning to handle some things on your own. In the past, you always accompanied your mother, and I guess I have seen these things. You've been smart since you were a kid, and I'm sure you'll be able to handle these things on your own in a few days. Both your father and your mother have high hopes for you, you shouldn't refuse, right? Lanqiu also loves her daughter very much, and refuses to let her daughter commit herself to others as a concubine.
But as a wife, these things cannot be avoided and must be dealt with. Lan Xi compared the daughters of other people's families, and she started late. If Lan Xi is no longer forced to take over this matter, I am afraid that Lan Xi will not be able to get started. That's why Lan Qiu said this, showing that he had high hopes for Lan Xi.
Time is pressing, and Lan Qiu wants Lan Xi to learn how to be a wife as soon as possible, which is also a last resort.
In fact, if it was possible, Lan Qiu wanted Lan Xi not to marry for the rest of his life, and recruit his son-in-law to accompany him and Bai Qingyun in Shangshu Mansion all the time. It's just such a thing, Lan Qiu can only think about it, and the hope of realizing it is very slim.
"Don't listen to your father's nonsense, if you don't want to, it's okay to take a few days off and study. There are only so many things left and right, when can't you learn them? Your body is the most important thing, and it's never too late to learn when you're happy. After you get married, the girls will also be on the side to assist, and Mingyue will also follow you over to help you, in fact, you don't need to know so much, just learn it. Bai Qingyun cared about Lan Xi, which was really manifested in his actions, and when he saw Lan Qiu say these words, he came out. Bai Qingyun's face was not good-looking, he glared at Lan Qiu, and then told Lan Xi when it was okay to learn these things.
Lan Xi has been in a bad mood these days, this is something that everyone in the house knows. Bai Qingyun didn't want to let Lan Xi bother to hurt his mind at this time, so he expressed his dissatisfaction with what Lan Qiu said.
"Mother, don't you have to learn these things sooner or later? It's not all the same in the morning and late, and my dad probably sees that I'm too idle these days and wants to find something for me to do. According to my father's meaning, I will learn from my mother from tomorrow! Rest early today, get up early tomorrow and follow my mother's side, and learn these things well. Lan Xi also understood that Lan Qiu and Bai Qingyun were for her good, anyway, Lan Xi was also irritable when she was idle now, so it was better to find something to do.
If there is something, there will be no more cranky thinking and speculation. Therefore, Lan Xi is now very happy for Lan Qiu and Bai Qingyun to arrange things for her.
"Since you've decided, it's hard for your mother to refuse, okay! If you don't get up, I'll ask Dongling to call you in your yard. Seeing Lan Xi's insistence, Bai Qingyun had nothing to refuse, so he agreed directly. By the way, explain to Lan Xi, if she can't get up, let Dongling call her.
"Okay, I got it." Lan Xi nodded, it was a good answer.
"You're not young now, and my father doesn't want to hide anything from you. When it comes to you, we'd rather hear your thoughts than let the two of us do what we want to figure it out for you. In the end, we don't know whether you are satisfied or not. So, what do you think about the marriage of Your Majesty? If you don't marry the king, your father will never let you be wronged. But if you don't want to go to that kind of place to intrigue, Daddy won't insist on letting you get married. It's up to you whether you marry or not, as long as you're happy, you can do whatever you want. If you have any emotions in the future, say it and let your father and mother give you an idea, why should the family hide it like this. You can also be less cranky and have a more comfortable life. Lan Qiu saw that Lan Xi had been eating and didn't speak, but after all, he still couldn't help but say what was in his heart.
"Daddy! Mother! It's not that my daughter doesn't want to tell you, it's just that you've been worried about me for so many years, and my daughter really feels guilty. It's so big, and it's too unfilial to let my father and mother bother for my affairs. When Lan Xi heard Lan Qiu say this, she suddenly showed a guilty look on her face, and said this with a little embarrassment.
