The recruitment of new recruits in Lingling has ended, and they are now handed over to the Jiangwu Hall for training, and they will be sent to Jiangling in a few months. Zhuge Liang and Zhang Fei were supposed to return immediately, but Lantian has to rush to make furs for the New Year gift, so the two will stay temporarily. In Quanling.
During their stay in Quanling, Zhuge Liang often came to the school, Lantian asked Jiang Wan to accompany him every day, and Zhang Fei often visited the school to give lectures.
The fur furs of the quilt workshop were completed in a hurry, and the total number of furs produced was less than one hundred, which could not satisfy all the existing officials in Jingzhou. Except for Lantian, who had to keep a dozen sets, the remaining distribution could only be made by Liu Bei.
The novel style opened the eyes of Zhang Fei, Zhuge Liang, Gao Shun and others, but because of the variety of animal skins and the different rarity of the fur, the finished furs look various. Among them, the fur of fierce animals is the rarest, especially the fur of tigers. Only one fur.
It stands to reason that the most precious one should be dedicated to Liu Bei, but this fur is ultimately worn by the wives, whether it is for Sun Shangxiang or Gan Qian, it is not good.
Zhuge Liang saw Lan Tian's anxiety, and he took the initiative to say: "Yide, this tiger fur fur is well made, go and get it back for Mrs. Xiahou to wear."
Zhang Fei shook his head quickly, "Ma'am, she doesn't know martial arts, so why wear tiger skin? I think this rabbit fur is not bad."
"You need to know martial arts to wear a tiger skin? The only wives in Jingzhou with high martial arts skills are Mrs. Sun and Mrs. Lu..." Zhuge Liang looked at Lantian meaningfully.
"Why let it go? You just keep Ziyu yourself, how can your sister-in-law be as capable as younger siblings?" Zhang Fei said nonchalantly.
"I'll stay?" Lan Tian pointed at himself in surprise. He originally chose a fox fur for Lu Lingqi.
Zhuge Liang nodded and said: "Ziyu, don't be polite, these furs are all from the quilt workshop, you should be the first to choose."
Seeing that the two were very enthusiastic and Gao Shun was still booing, Lan Tian suddenly felt distressed.
I want Lu Lingqi to turn into a vixen, not a tigress.
Chapter 189 Isn't this a fool?
As soon as Lan Tian sent Zhuge Liang and Zhang Fei away, Gao Yuan came to see him in a hurry, but turned around and saw that it was Lai Gong's brother-in-law Lu Tan.
"The end of the new year is approaching, and General Lu is not in Bushan to reunite with his family, so what is the purpose of coming to Quanling?"
"There is an urgent military situation in Jiaozhou, the Lord Fu sent me to deliver a letter to the general..."
After Lu Tan finished speaking, he handed the letter in his arms to Gao Yuan. Lan Tian frowned after seeing Lai Gongxin. He originally thought that Bu Zhi and Wei Jing had left Jiaozhou and would live in peace for a while, but things were so confusing.
At the end of last month, Wei Jing returned to Panyu. In the same month, Shi Wu, the prefect of the South China Sea, died of illness suddenly.
Nanhai County is the largest county in Jiaozhou for salt production, and has always been an important place for taxation of scholars. During the funeral of Shiwu's death, Sun Quanbiao Wei Jing was the prefect of Nanhai, and officially extended his hand into the border of Jiaozhou.
Shi Wu's death was too sudden, Sun Quan was positive about Wei Jing's appointment, but Shi Xie didn't respond at all, which was unreasonable no matter how you looked at it.
The power in Jiaozhou changed from three to four. Lan Tian was worried that this delicate balance would be broken. After reading Lai Gong's letter, he tapped the desk in front of him with his hands.
"I've already known about this matter. You should report to Mr. Lai's family to find out in many ways. If there is any change, I will support him." Lan Tian said comfortingly.
"Brother-in-law is not worried about Wu Ju and Shi Xie, but he is afraid that Sun Quan will send troops to occupy Jiaozhou..." Lu Tan replied.
Lan Tian shook his head and said: "Your Majesty Lai can rest assured that this possibility is unlikely. After all, Cao Cao is still stationed in Huainan, and Sun Zhongmou may not dare to send troops to Jiaozhou."
"I see." Lu Tan nodded.
Let Gao Yuan send Lu Tan off, and Lan Tian returns to the back house to enjoy family relationships with his wife and children.
The two brothers Lan Yuan and Lan Ji wrestled in the courtyard to keep warm, while Deng Ai was beside them giving them advice.
Lu Lingqi was wearing a newly made tiger fur. She sat on the porch watching with her hands in her sleeves, and there was a brazier next to her feet to keep warm.
Lan Tian walked into the backyard and took a look, Lu Lingqi looked like a female leader screaming in the mountains and forests.
"Husband, what are you laughing at?" Lu Lingqi asked in surprise.
Lan Tian smiled and said, "It's just Xiaojun who wears this outfit, and others can't wear this kind of aura."
This is the so-called seller's show and buyer's show. After giving birth, Lu Lingqi's figure is plumper than before, but because of her long-term martial arts training, she looks heroic and valiant, giving people a sense of hardness and softness. She wears tiger fur fur like a majestic female leader. If you change someone, you may become a rich man.
"In front of the children, look at your mouth. I'll ask someone to bring the boiled wine. How about we watch them play and drink to keep warm?" Lu Lingqi turned her head and asked.
Lan Tian was taken aback after hearing this, are you still addicted to drinking? "It's still early..."
"It's freezing cold now, just drink some hot wine to warm up." Lu Lingqi got up and left after speaking.
Looking at Lu Lingqi's graceful departure under the eaves, she looked like a tigress strolling back to her nest in the forest.
"Father, hurry up and judge." At the moment when Lan Tian was in a trance, Lan Ji walked over angrily.
"What's wrong?" Lan Tian patted Lan Ji's head suspiciously.
Lan Ji pointed to Lan Yuan and said, "Brother, he was playing tricks just now. He agreed not to grab his feet in wrestling. If he doesn't have my strength, he will foul."
Deng Ai led Lan Yuan and walked over, Lan Yuan waved his small hand: "Who is not as strong as you? Just now I wanted to grab your waist, but I accidentally touched your leg."
"You are not as strong as I am. You can't grasp your waist and you still call yourself a master." Lan Ji teased deliberately with his hands in his arms.
Deng Ai came over and whispered a few words in Lan Tian's ear, and then Lan Tian realized that the second child was acting like a baby on purpose. He frowned and said angrily, "Where did the kid get his waist? No, next time you will grab Yuan'er's leg too."
"What father said is true?" Lan Ji asked with a smile.
Lan Tian nodded, "You need to be flexible when doing things."
Xiao Lanji took it for granted, he put his hips on his hips and said to Lan Yuan, "Brother, did you hear what father said just now?"
Lan Yuan was full of doubts, thinking what did I hear?
"Don't understand? I can grab your leg if you fall, but you must obey the rules." Lan Ji said seriously.
"What?" Lan Yuan scratched his head, what did I miss just now?
Seeing Deng Ai's unkind smile, Lan Ji patted his leg, "Brother, what are you laughing at? Remember to judge according to this later."
Lan Tian held Lan Ji's little hand, and said earnestly, "It's a matter for both parties to obey the rules. If Yuan'er doesn't abide by the rules, the game will not be able to continue. But there are also disadvantages of being too obedient, that is, it is easy to imprison ideas."
"Father, should we obey the rules?" Lan Yuan asked.
"Adults change, gentlemen change, and villains change. The core idea of the Book of Changes is to be flexible. When to abide by the rules and when not to abide by them depends on the timing. Just take the example of your brothers playing just now, in order to continue playing. Rules are necessary." Lan Tian explained.
Lan Yuan and Lan Ji were confused by what they heard, Deng Ai quickly tugged on Lan Tian's skirt to remind them, meaning that the two of them haven't finished reciting the thousand-character text, so why don't you explain the Book of Changes to them?
Lan Tian immediately came to his senses and continued, "I'll give you an example from a story. The Zhou Dynasty used etiquette to govern the world. This etiquette is the rule. Even in war, you must follow the rules and etiquette."
"Rules must be obeyed in war?" Lan Ji found it inconceivable.
Lan Tian nodded and explained: "It is an honor to participate in wars during the Spring and Autumn Period. Ordinary people and slaves are not eligible to fight, and can only do support work such as transporting materials and making weapons. The minimum requirement for participating in a war must be a 'soldier', and there are strict etiquette during wars. In order to be famous, you need to be upright, and you are not allowed to use tricks and tricks, for example, you can't attack the enemy's monarch when he is in funeral, and you can't attack when the enemy's country is famine..."
Lan Yuan and Lan Ji scratched their heads, what they usually hear and see is quite different from what Lan Tian is talking about now.
"Father, are these strange war etiquettes real?" Lan Yuan was a little disbelieving.
Lan Tian nodded and said: "I will tell you two stories to understand. The first is the battle of Yanling between Jin and Chu. The leader of the Jin army met the king of Chu three times during the battle. He followed the etiquette and walked down the battle. Che took off his hat to the king of Chu, and the king of Chu gave him a bow, but he did not dare to accept the reward, but bowed three times, and then turned to find the Chu army for a decisive battle."
"This is so stupid, the battle to capture the King of Chu is over..." Lan Ji, a three-year-old child, felt that this was outrageous.
"Father, what is the other story?" Lan Yuan asked.
Lan Tian continued: "During the Spring and Autumn Period, there was civil turmoil in the Song Dynasty. Gongzicheng met his enemy Huabao on a narrow road. Huabao shot an arrow first and was dodged by Gongzicheng. Huabao felt that it was wrong to put down the bow and arrow, and then he was shot by Gongzicheng..."
"This...this Huabao...isn't he a fool?" Lan Ji was dumbfounded.
Chapter 1
Using etiquette to regulate and guide war is a characteristic of the Spring and Autumn Period. Although it makes people laugh, it also has a unique background.
Seeing that Lan Yuan and Lan Ji didn't take it seriously, Lan Tian continued to educate and said: "The princes in that era had the same clan and surname, and the relationship between them was either a country of brothers or a country of nephews and uncles with in-laws, just like yours. The two brothers wrestled just now, as long as everyone abides by the rules, they can keep playing."
"Then what happened next?" Lan Yuan asked.
"Someone broke the rules of etiquette, and those who followed the rules found that they were at a disadvantage and gradually stopped obeying, and then entered the Warring States Period." Lan Tian replied.
When Lan Tian said this, the two brothers seemed to realize something.
Lan Tian urged the two of them: "Rules and music are now collapsing. Brothers can kill each other for the sake of power and status. There are two brothers in one life. There will be no future in this life. You two should take this as a warning."
Lan Yuan seemed to understand something, he patted Lan Ji on the shoulder and said, "No matter how the world changes in the future, brother, I will always protect you."
"Hmph, it's not certain who will protect who." Lan Ji pouted.
"Father, it's still interesting for you to tell stories. Tell us some more." Lan Yuan looked at Lan Tian with watery eyes.
Lan Tian saw Lu Lingqi walking back, and he pointed to the open space behind: "No matter what you do, you must know how to control yourself. Think about the story you just told, and teach you how to play a new game for my father."
"New game?" Lan Yuan and Lan Ji were overjoyed.
"Well, let's play some warm games in winter. Shi Zai, you win by crossing one leg like me, and knocking the opponent down by hopping on one foot." Lan Tian asked Deng Ai to demonstrate cockfighting with him.
"Wei." Deng Ai followed Lan Tian's example and showed him how to fight a cock.
Lan Yuan and Lan Ji had a lot of fun watching it, and they learned it decently, and then happily started to practice each other.
"Husband, have you taught the children new ways to play again?" Lu Lingqi and two maidservants came over, holding boiled wine and Lantian's favorite fried beans in their hands.
"Well, we need to do more activities in winter. Fortunately, Yuan'er and Ji'er can be company, but it's difficult for Adou to play in Jiangling." Lan Tian shook his head.
Lu Lingqi poured a cup of hot wine for Lan Tian, and said with a smile: "Adou is not as active as they are. It's cold today, and I'm probably warming up with Sister Gan inside the house."
"A Dou needs someone to spur and encourage him. It's not good to just play blindly. I'll write a letter to tell Sister later." Lan Tian picked up a fried bean and threw it into his mouth, chewing it crunchy.
"The last time I went to Jiangling, my sister was urging Adou to recite the thousand-character prose. He is still so young, so he can't ask too much." Lu Lingqi shook her head.
Lan Tian smiled and pointed at her, "Your aunt only knows that you love A Dou, why do your two sons demand hard training every day?"
Lu Lingqi said seriously: "Can it be the same? A Dou is the eldest son, Yuan'er and Ji'er must practice their skills well."
"Okay." Lan Tian gave her a thumbs up.
Lu Lingqi knew that this was Lan Tian's gesture of praise, and just as she was about to have a drink with him in the porch, her two sons came over noisily again.
The two brothers both wanted to act like a baby in front of Lan Tian, but when they saw Lu Lingqi's sharp eyes, they became cautious again.
"What's wrong?" Lu Lingqi frowned and asked.
Lan Yuan quickly said: "Father just said the rules of cockfighting, saying that you have to knock the opponent down with your knees to win, but brother Ji always kneels me..."
Lan Ji argued: "I'm a little shorter than you, so if I don't stand up, I'll lose? My father said just now that you can be flexible."
"Ji'er is right this time. Cockfighting can be about strategy. Not only can you push your knees from bottom to top, but you can also jump up and press down..." Lan Tian finished with a smile.
Lan Yuan was not angry but happy, "I see, Brother Ji, let's come again."
"I don't want to play now, why don't father teach me a game again?" Lan Ji's small eyes moved, and he directly rejected Lan Yuan.
Lan Tian slapped his thigh and stood up, and then called Deng Ai to demonstrate jumping goats. He played these games when he was a child. He remembered that they were played after class in winter. The boys in the class liked to play these games. There was no heating in the school. equipment, it will be warmer when moving.
Deng Ai bent over, Lan Tian took off his heavy robe, and after a few meters of run-up, he lightly used his hands on his back for strength, and then jumped over.
"This is fun." Lan Ji clapped his hands and said.
"Father, what are the rules for this jumping goat?" Lan Yuan asked.
Lan Tian introduced while demonstrating: "Jumping a goat is a test of agility. The focus is on the back and shoulders. If you can't jump over it, you will lose."
"Can we only play together?" Lan Yuan pointed to Lan Ji and asked again.
Lan Tian looked at Deng Ai and said with a smile: "Shi Zai and I can also be goats, it depends on whether you can jump over it."
"Then I will jump on my father's goat first." Lan Ji said.
"Okay, then come on."
Considering that the two children are not tall, Lan Tian deliberately bent his legs, making the whole 'goat' appear very short.
Lan Ji imitated Lan Tian's run-up, then jumped forward, and easily jumped behind him, and Lan Yuan also easily completed the jump by drawing a gourd.
Although the two little guys are quite agile, but because they are not tall enough, they can only stop and jump on their backs. In the end, the two of them can only practice alone if they want to jump shoulders.
Since Lan Tian became the prefect of Lingling, he was too busy with government and military affairs, so the whole family didn't have much time to play together like this, and Lu Lingqi watched happily from the side.
"Husband, I want to jump the goat too." Lu Lingqi stood up and put her hands behind her back. Her girlish movements were like meeting each other outside Xiaopei City for the first time.
"Okay, do you want to jump back or shoulder?" Lan Tian asked.
"What do you think? Of course it's shoulder jumping, I know martial arts." Lu Lingqi smiled, narrowing her eyes into two curved crescents.
Lan Tian turned his back and lowered his head slightly, only feeling a gust of wind coming from behind, his shoulders were lightly tapped, and Lu Lingqi, who was wearing a tiger fur fur, jumped over.
The movements are clean and neat, and the body is still light.
Looking at Lu Lingqi who was smiling like a flower, four words appeared in Lan Tian's mind: Hungry tigers attack sheep.
After exercising for a while, the body gradually warmed up, and the two went back to the porch to have a drink.
At first, Lantian was still smiling, but when he suddenly thought of the changes in Jiaozhou, a ray of sadness appeared on his face again.
Lan Tian usually does things with ease, and Lu Lingqi seldom sees him with a sad face, so she asked with concern: "What's your husband's troubles?"
"Because of the accident in Nanhai County, I heard that Shiwu was in good health, so it is too strange to die now. Although the possibility is very small, I am still worried that Sun Quan will send troops to Jiaozhou..." Lan Tian explained.
