In the South China Sea in June, even wearing single clothes could not relieve the heat, and many people were already working shirtless.

There are no supporting trees to be planted in various government offices in Guangzhou City. Officials can only hide in their rooms to cool down and work. On the contrary, the seedlings planted by the state pastoral office appear to be prepared for a rainy day.

Jiang Wan has notified all government offices to select seeds in winter and wait until next spring to start planting trees. Otherwise, the midsummer in Jiaozhou will be really unbearable.

The peach trees in the back garden of Lam Tin are green and green, several inches taller than the seedlings in the rice fields, but they need frequent watering because of the hot weather.

At this time, Lu Lingqi was pregnant and would take a nap in the room every noon. Lantian had nothing to do, so he went to the peach grove to water and prune branches. He artificially controlled the growth direction of the peach branches and constantly improved the taste and yield of the fruit. This was his agronomy major. elective subjects within.

Lan Tian held the copper scissors and shuttled among the seedlings with concentration.

Suddenly, rapid footsteps were heard outside the hospital. Lan Tian looked up and saw that it was Gao Yuan holding a letter.

"Who wrote the letter?" Lan Tian asked curiously.

"It's a letter from General Guan." Gao Yuan replied.

Lantian put down his scissors and walked out of the peach forest, thinking to himself, there must be something big going on in Jingzhou? General Guan rarely writes to him on his own initiative, after all, military generals rarely make 'pen pals'.

There were only a dozen or so words in Guan Yu's letter. It turned out that Zhang Ji had recently died of illness in Jiangling. Jiangling Medical School didn't know where to go, so he asked Lantian to go to Jiangling to explain.

Lantian felt sad after reading the letter. It is said that doctors cannot heal themselves, and no one can escape death.

He thought for a while and decided to take Jiang Wan with him, so he asked Gao Yuan to inform him and agreed to leave for Jiangling tomorrow morning to keep the appointment, while he continued to prune and water the peach seedlings.

After cleaning the peach forest, Lantian walked into the backyard and found Lan Ji playing with sticks alone in the yard. It was a set of stick skills that Lu Lingqi taught at random last year.

Lan Tian saw that he was playing well, but his whole body was soaked with sweat, so he asked curiously: "Why are you dancing alone? Where did Yuan'er go?"

"Brother, he thinks it's hot at noon, so he seems to have gone back home to read the Analects of Confucius." Lan Ji shook his head and said.

"Why don't you go back home and study? Both of you have to master what you learned in the Meng Academy. Memorizing a thousand-character essay is not enough." Lan Tian said kindly.

Lan Ji pursed his lips and replied: "I will go back to the house when I am tired from practicing, otherwise it will be difficult to calm down..."

"The sun in summer is very hot, and it is easy to get fever for a long time. Ji'er, you still have to control yourself." Lan Tian recalled that when he was a child, he played barefoot in the fields under the scorching sun, fishing for frogs, catching insects, playing slingshots, fishing and swimming in the river, it seemed that I've never had heatstroke.

Looking at the disapproving Lan Ji in front of him, he thought to himself, was he too concerned?

"I..." Lan Ji hesitated.

Lan Tian shook his head and interrupted: "Forget it, just practice if you want."

"My father is still enlightened." Lan Ji was overjoyed.

Lu Lingqi had woken up from her nap at this time, and two maids fanned her to provide cool air. It is very difficult for a woman to be pregnant in summer, and she feels tired easily because of the heat.

"My husband looks wrong, did something happen?" Lan Tian returned to the room, and Lu Lingqi asked curiously.

Lan Tian sighed: "Mr. Zhongjing has passed away. Life is really unpredictable..."

"When we first arrived in Jingnan, we were all acclimated to the climate and were poisoned by mushrooms. Fortunately, Mr. Zhongjing saved us from the trouble. My husband should go to Jiangling to express his condolences," Lu Lingqi reminded.

Lan Tian nodded, "I plan to go to Jiangling with Jiang Gongyan tomorrow. If Xiaojun feels unwell while we are away, I will ask Gao Yuan to ask for Mr. Yuanhua."

"Husband, you can rest assured, this is not my first child..." Lu Lingqi smiled.

At this time, Lan Ji in the courtyard hit the ground with a wooden stick, making a continuous sound like a wooden fish.

Lu Lingqi shook her head and smiled bitterly: "Ji'er's energy is so good, I was never this capable when I was a child..."

Lan Tian responded with a smile: "If Xiaojun was as naughty as Ji'er, I'm afraid he would have dismantled my grape trellis..."

"That's really hard to say." Lu Lingqi giggled.

"Anyway, I'm going to Jiangling to express my condolences. Why don't I take Ji'er with me and let General Guan train him for half a year?" Lan Tian asked tentatively.

"Ji'er is only nine years old. Isn't it too early? Why not wait until he is twelve or thirteen?" Lu Lingqi suggested.

Lan Tian shook his head and said: "According to the current momentum of these two brothers, the twelve or thirteen-year-old cannot be taller than me? This child is not as calm as Yuan'er. It is not a problem for him to play in the sun every day. It is better to give it to Guan early."

General’s education, besides, the climate in Jiangling is not that hot.”

"Since my husband has already made plans, I will take him with me tomorrow, and I will go pack his clothes right now." Lu Lingqi nodded.

"Let Yue'er and the others clean it up, don't sweat it all." Lan Tian instructed.

"Okay." Although Lu Lingqi agreed verbally, she sneaked over after a while.

Lan Ji was going to stay in Jiangling for the first half of the year. The whole family sat together for dinner in the evening. Lu Lingqi talked for a long time. In short, she had to learn to take care of herself when she was away from home. She then asked Lan Tian to let General Guan take care of him. She was serious about it.

Qianli’s mother is worried.

Lan Ji was so excited that he couldn't sleep at night. He was going to learn martial arts from the world-famous General Guan. That was not an opportunity that ordinary people would have.

"Brother, are you asleep?" Lan Ji asked excitedly.

A clear voice came from the bed next to him: "I fell asleep..."

Lan Ji was startled when he heard this, and thought to himself, is this called sleeping? So he continued: "I am going to Jiangling to learn martial arts from General Guan. Brother, will you be disappointed? No one will play with you in the future..

.”

Lan Yuan said leisurely: "What do I have to lose? With my mother, Uncle Gao can learn as well. I can read and write without you. There are many ways to have fun."

"Well, anyway, we can meet again in half a year..." Lan Ji suddenly felt a little reluctant.

"Brother Ji..." Lan Yuan's call came from the side.

Lan Ji: "Brother, what do you have to explain?"

Lan Yuan: "I heard that General Guan is aloof and arrogant. You have to be careful. Don't suffer the hardship of being alone in a foreign land..."

"Hey...I know..." Unknowingly, the corners of Lan Ji's eyes were wet.

Although both brothers couldn't sleep, they closed their eyes silently and said nothing all night. The air in the room was extremely dull, and the sounds of low and irregular breathing came and went.

After breakfast the next morning, Lan Yuan supported Lu Lingqi and sent Lan Tian and Lan Ji to the gate, where Jiang Wan and Gao Shun had already been waiting.

"Where's Ling Ming? Hasn't he arrived yet?" Lan Tian asked curiously.

Lan Tian went to Jiangling to express his condolences to Zhang Zhongjing. He originally appointed Pang De to accompany him and visit his late master Ma Chao, but it turned out that this man from Xiliang was so unpunctual.

Gao Shun quickly explained: "General Pang is prone to dizziness after being on a boat for a long time. It would be better for me to accompany my husband to Jiangling. I will hand over the gift he gave to General Ma..."

When Lan Tian saw Gao Shun staring at Lan Ji, he thought that he was worried about this little guy and had temporarily cut off Pang De's quota.
