Chapter 183

Over the years, thanks to the emperor's trust, the status of the Lan family has risen. It made Lan Qiu and the world regard the Lan family as too important. So much so that now he can't recognize his identity clearly and is reprimanded by the emperor. Only now did Lan Qiu understand that all the Lan family relied on now was the emperor's gifts. If it weren't for the fact that there was no one available around the emperor except for the Lan family, the status of the Lan family would not be under one person now.

"The minion looks, it's actually fine. Miss Zuo didn't know about this matter yet, and she was planning to marry His Royal Highness. Now that the lord begs His Majesty to fail, the young lady will not know, let alone be too sad. The top priority now is the attitude of the lord and the lady, so as not to let the young lady see any clues. Although the young lady doesn't seem to care about the things in the officialdom of the lord all day long, she is still a careful girl in the end. If Miss notices something, won't it make Miss more troubled? Jing Yi didn't know how to comfort Lan Qiu, after all, Jing Yi didn't know very well about these officialdom things.

What Jing Yi understands now is still what Lanqiu taught him! Now that he saw that Lan Qiu was distracted, he didn't know how to comfort him, so he had to move out of Lan Xi to cheer up Lan Qiu and not let Lan Xi see anything wrong.

"yes, I see." Hearing this, Lan Qiu's expression finally eased a little, and he nodded and told Jing Yi that he knew the truth.

When Lan Qiu returned home, Lan Xi had just finished reading the stack of account books that Bai Qingyun had given her. Rubbing his temples very tiredly, Lan Xi realized that the housekeeper's affairs were not so easy and simple. Looking at Bai Qingyun, there seems to be nothing to do every day, but I didn't expect it to be so difficult.

"I thought these things were the easiest things to do. I didn't expect it to be so difficult. In the past, I thought that embroidery and painting were the most difficult, and I had to choose my own samples and ideas to draw on paper, and finally embroider them on a handkerchief. Now it seems that compared to these things in my mother's hands, it is simply too trivial. Lan Xi shook her head and cast an admiring look at Bai Qingyun.

Lan Xi doesn't like embroidery and painting the most, and every time Bai Qingyun is forced to do these things, she will express her impatience. In the past, Lan Xi once thought that this was the most difficult thing in the world. Unexpectedly, after reading the account book today, Lan Xi realized that it was not easy for Bai Qingyun to do things every day.

"There are more difficult things in this world than that. Your father is an official in the court, and it is very difficult to move around. These things are the most important in the courtyard of the back house, and next to them are the entertainment of each house. Among them, there are also deep truths that you need to learn. But it's still early for you to learn this, you just need to learn how to manage the accounts first. That's why I insist on taking you with me whenever there is a banquet. Just to let you see how the host of the other family greets good guests. Otherwise, do you think that my mother insisted on taking you over despite your wishes, just to let you eat, drink, have fun and relax? Seeing Lan Xi sigh like this, Bai Qingyun looked at Lan Xi with some dissatisfaction.

It seems that Lan Xi is very dissatisfied with this truth at this moment. In fact, Lan Xi should not be blamed, Bai Qingyun and his wife have always taken good care of Lan Xi, and they both like her to live a carefree and free life. So much so that Lan Xi didn't understand anything, and only when she was so old did she understand this little truth.

"Mother! Daughter, doesn't she understand now? In the past, it was the daughter who was not good, and the daughter was playful and didn't know the hard work of her father. Now that I know, I will naturally study hard with my mother in the future, and I will definitely not be greedy for fun anymore. Mother, don't look at me like this, okay? You see, Daddy has been back for so long, and I'm hungry when I think about it, I look at the account book all morning, and now I'm dizzy, can we start eating first? After you've eaten and drunk enough, let's talk about it in the afternoon, okay? "Lanqiu has been back for a while, but he didn't disturb the atmosphere in the courtyard. I took a book and sat aside and looked at it, but I didn't speak.

Although Lan Qiu was indeed very hungry, Bai Qingyun didn't speak, and Lan Qiu didn't dare to speak. Besides, Lan Xi was finally able to stabilize his mind and sit in the courtyard to read the account book carefully, such a rare opportunity, Lan Qiu really didn't want to bother.

Now that Lan Xi has finished reading the account book and is coquettish to Bai Qingyun, Lan Qiu can naturally put down the book in his hand and talk to the mother and daughter.

"Yes, ma'am! In the past, Xi'er was still young and didn't understand anything. Now that Xi'er is about to die, you take her and let her learn more. It's not too late to start learning now, so don't look at Xi'er like this. I looked at such a large number of ledgers, and I regretted that I had read them all in the morning, and it was really fast. I'm tired of coming to Xi'er, so why don't we start a meal first and let Xi'er eat more, recover and then learn with you, right? This is just starting out, you can't let Xi'er learn so many things at once. Seeing that Bai Qingyun didn't mean to open his mouth to pass on the food, Lan Qiu also said on the side.

"Your father and daughter are simply carved out of a mold, and when it comes to meals, no matter what important things are in hand, you want to fill your stomachs first. You guys······ I really don't know what to say about you. Let's pass the meal first! Seeing that the father and daughter sang and harmonized, Bai Qingyun couldn't say anything. Shaking his head helplessly, he asked Dongling to go down to pass the meal.

"Although Xi'er is just learning, there are some things that must be learned quickly. Otherwise, wouldn't it be a joke to ask three questions when you go out? Mother doesn't want to ask you too much, but you also have to understand that you can't stay behind your father and mother for the rest of your life, and let your father and mother give you shelter from the wind and rain. There are some things that you still need to deal with and solve by yourself. Bai Qingyun still couldn't hold back and lectured to Lan Xi.

Bai Qingyun has not been as spoiled as he used to be to Lan Xi in the past few days. Yes, almost all of them are teachings about Lan Xi. I'm afraid that people who don't know think that it won't be long before Lan Xi will get married and leave Shangshu Mansion! Otherwise, why was Bai Qingyun so worried? Not only did others misunderstand these words, but even Lan Xi, the main master, was confused when he heard it.

"Mother, are you saying these words too early? When you say this, your daughter thinks that she is going to marry someone else's family as a daughter-in-law! "Lan Xi has always been open-mouthed at home, and naturally she will say whatever comes to mind.
