Quickly wear it with your skills

It is said that enemies often meet on a narrow road. It was almost dark when the family we met before came to the post station in the rain. There were so many of them that the small room in the post station was fully occupied.

After this group of people arrived, they all gathered in the lobby and ran into Lan Hanlu and his group who were preparing food. Seeing how embarrassed they looked, Lan Hanlu nodded secretly in his heart.

Well, she was somewhat happy that people who were hostile to her were not having a good time, but after all, there were outsiders around, so Lan Hanlu couldn't show it.

I discussed it with Wei Jian and the others and gave them two rooms. Although those people were dissatisfied, they didn't say anything after all because of what happened last time. They just kept grumbling behind my back.

Lan Hanlu didn't care. Wasn't it unbearable for her and the maids and nanny to have to squeeze into one room?

It rained for two days straight, and the other group of people at the post station became extremely irritable. Their mumbling complaints had even reached the point of throwing things around and making indirect accusations.

Because there were too many people at the post station, the food was gone. But fortunately, everyone knew that during the disaster year, they had brought some food on the carriages. Although the food was a little poor, it was not unbearable after making the journey.

However, it happened that two children in that family were sick, and the old lady also had a cough. But at least they could bear it and would be fine when they arrived in the capital.

But the children are not okay. Two children, one 12 and the other 6 years old, have already started to have fever.

In ancient times, a fever was no different from dying. Especially in this environment where there were no doctors or medicine.

The child's aunt was holding the child and crying.

"Didn't we bring medicine with us when we came out? We didn't feed it to the child." The old lady was also anxious.

"Well, I've fed him, but it may not be effective because it's not suitable for the disease. The child has a high fever now... Can someone return to Beijing as soon as possible?" The second brother felt something was wrong when he was halfway through his words.

This place is already two days' journey from the capital, how can we go there in the heavy rain? It was the girl named Jiaojiao who told the old lady.

"Grandmother's group should have medicine, and there should be someone who knows how to treat her. I saw her nanny making her medicinal food."

Although she didn't dare do anything to Lan Hanlu, she always treated her as her mortal enemy and kept a secret eye on her whenever she had nothing to do.

The old lady coughed softly twice, then slapped the bed. "Second son, take some valuable gifts and go over there and beg for mercy. Our family has been poor for three generations, and we've already lost two more. It would be the end of me."

"Mom, don't worry, I will go and beg them right away. They will be humble in the face of the heavy gifts. The people over there are not unreasonable. They will not let me go back empty-handed." The one called the second brother comforted his mother while telling her about his plan.

"Okay, okay, second brother, you should be steady and do things steadily. I'm at ease. Let Madam Du get you that set of pearl headwear, and you can prepare some silver. Let your wife go with you. After all, she is a woman, and it's not good for you to go alone to meet her."

Following the old lady's instructions, Jiaojiao and the second son's wife kept tearing their handkerchiefs. Jiaojiao was angry because she had already set her eyes on that pearl headpiece.

The second son's wife was angry because her family had to pay the money, but the child was not hers.

But the old lady is still the head of the family, so no matter how angry they are, they have to greet her with a smile and dare not show any emotion.

The second son took the jewelry from the nanny, opened it and examined it, and put the banknotes he had prepared inside. The second son's wife looked at it with eyes that were about to burst into anger, but she still had to hold the box with a smile.

They heard the nanny convey the old lady's intention, asking them to be nicer and not do anything inappropriate.

The second son's wife quickly spoke politely to the nanny beside the old lady. "Don't worry, mom, my husband and I will beg that person sincerely and will not let you down."

Then he carried the box and walked towards Lan Hanlu's residence.

In front of the post station was a small two-story building, with the lobby and kitchen downstairs and a few guest rooms upstairs. Behind the building was a courtyard, and across from the courtyard was a three-room house.

It is usually where the staff of the post station live. There are toilets and utility rooms next to it, and there is a well in the middle of the firewood room.

This group of people lived in the backyard, while Lan Hanlu and the others stayed in the guest rooms upstairs. The two of them walked through the yard to the lobby and walked up the stairs.

But just as they reached the stairs and wanted to turn right, they were stopped by two guards with swords. The two looked at the two guards with serious faces.

Although I didn't say anything to them and didn't even look at them, I was still scared.

Zhou Laoer swallowed his saliva and said, "My two lords, we would like to see that lady."

The two of them paused for a moment, seeing that the two guards didn't react. Zhou Laoer's wife took a small step forward, covering her eyes with a handkerchief.

"My two children are sick with high fevers, so I'd like to ask if Madam has any servants with medical skills or herbs to reduce the fever?

We only ask Madam to have mercy on us, and to have some sympathy for us, as we are both loving mothers and fathers." As he spoke, he sobbed.

Lan Hanlu naturally heard their crying, and came out after tidying her hair. The woman's green clothes, coupled with the sound of the rain outside, made people feel refreshed like bamboo shoots after the rain.

Wei Jian came out from the other end of the corridor upon hearing the noise and sighed inwardly. This woman is not only beautiful, but also has a good temperament. I really don’t know what kind of waves she will cause after entering the capital?

But this is not groundless. If Lan Hanlu had not been so beautiful in her previous life, those women in the harem would not have been jealous and spread rumors about her.

Zhou Laoer stared at the person walking towards him without saying a word. His wife was stunned for a moment, and when she came to her senses, she saw Zhou Laoer's stupid look.

She was so angry that her handkerchief was torn to pieces, but she still couldn't forget the important matter, so she quickly and slowly bowed. She displayed all the etiquette and manners she had learned over the past twenty years perfectly.

She was raised in a wealthy family, and while her looks couldn't compare to this woman's, she was one of the best in the capital in other respects. This was a competitive spirit, a comparison that was also a deep-seated pride.

"I'm so sorry to interrupt your madam's lunch break. Two of my younger family members have a high fever and I heard that you have a nanny who can make medicinal food.

I wondered if that person knew some medical skills, and wanted to ask her to take a look at the younger generation in the family. Although my Zhou family is not a prosperous family, we also have a tradition of farming and studying.

If Madam rescues me today, no matter what the outcome, I will definitely be grateful in the future."

In Lan Hanlu's opinion, although the Second Lady had some small thoughts, her family education and etiquette were top-notch. Etiquette can be learned from childhood, but family education is the accumulation of several generations.
