Lantian's friend was Hu Ke. Before Lu Lingqi gave birth last month, Wushei's merchant ship returned to Guangzhou and brought back the news that Hu Ke was getting married.

Because she was a woman from a hostile force, Hu Ke asked for instructions cautiously. This move made Lan Tian dumbfounded. When he learned that the woman was from the Zhang family of Jiangdong's wealthy family, Lan Tian showed great support.

The Jiangdong nobles are becoming more and more powerful. Sun Quan, who is well versed in the art of balance, plans to use Hu Ke to blend in. Even if he cannot break up the noble alliance, he can still speak for himself at critical moments.

Lantian's focus was different from that of Sun Quan. Hu Ke could do many things with the help of Zhang's son-in-law status, such as collecting military, political, and economic information about Jiangdong, and using the power of the gentry to restrain Sun Quan at critical moments, which also laid the foundation for the future capture of Yangzhou.

.

Unexpectedly, the chess piece that Lan Tian threw stones at asked for directions became lighter and lighter after Sun Quan's "consecration".

In the name of Shixie, Lantian asked Wushei to prepare gifts. In addition to purchasing rare utensils in Guangzhou City, he also ordered some "fashionable" furniture, women's clothing, etc. in the workshop.

With Hu Ke's intelligence, with these things, he can quickly win the favor of the Zhang family, and even spread the trend of luxury in Jiangdong in the future. Lantian can imitate Guan Zhong and start an economic war.

Of course, all this can only be started when Liu Bei is stronger and can reverse the general trend of the world. Otherwise, once Sun Quan fails, Jingzhou will easily become passive.

The small courtyard in Lantian was very lively. When dinner was over in the afternoon, the guests gradually left, and finally only Xu Shu and his mother were left.

Xu's mother had been chatting with Lu Lingqi for a day, and then she came to the courtyard to watch Lan Yuan and Lan Ji playing, with endless envy in her eyes.

There were many guests at home during the day, so the naughty Lan Ji endured his temper and read a book with Lan Yuan in the room, and did not come out until dusk to practice boxing and martial arts.

"Yun Chang really has a way. Zhong Ling (Lan Ji) has only been sent for less than half a year, and he is much more stable than before." Lan Tian looked at his son and sighed.

Xu Shu said with a smile: "General Guan regards Zhongling as his own son. He always takes Zhongling with him wherever he goes. I heard that among the several foals bred by Red Rabbit Horse, the best one is given to this child.

Up."

Lan Tian was dumbfounded when he heard this, "Isn't it possible for Yun Chang to do it? Why not give it to Tan Zhi (Guan Ping)?"

"Tanzhi has been practicing martial arts with his father for many years, but General Guan fell in love with Zhongling at a glance, which shows that he is very optimistic about this child." Xu Shu explained.

"When Zhong Ling stayed with me, he was easily doted on by Bo Ping, so he was sent to Yun Chang. This child is too flamboyant and fearless. I was really worried that he would be strong and easily broken, but in the end he met his nemesis."

Lan Tian shook his head and smiled bitterly.

Xu Shu stroked his beard and carefully analyzed: "Zhongling (Lan Ji) has a cheerful personality very much like Mrs. Lan, but Boyang (Lanyuan) is calm and restrained just like the husband. He will definitely be entrusted with big things in the future. Ziyu is really good at raising children."

One hand."

"There are rules for everything, but educating children varies greatly." Lan Tian sighed and asked in a low voice: "Yuan Zhi has been married for many years and has no children. Has he ever seen a doctor for diagnosis and treatment?"

Xu Shu looked at him carelessly and said: "How can I have time when I am busy with state affairs? In recent years, Mr. Zhongjing has closed the door to thank guests, so I have not come to bother him. Besides, I am quite knowledgeable in medical science. It should be due to the lack of fate."

"Being busy at work is no excuse. Mr. Zhongjing was not able to diagnose and treat you during his lifetime. Mr. Yuanhua is in Guangzhou. Can I summon him tomorrow?" Lan Tian asked anxiously.

Xu Shu quickly waved his hand: "I know that the Jiaozhou Medical Department is very busy, how can I disturb Mr. Yuanhua from helping the world?"

"Uh..." Lantian saw that Xu Shu tried his best to refuse, so he didn't say the last words.

"Mother, it's getting late, shall we go back to your courtyard?" Xu Shu turned around and asked Xu's mother for instructions.

Xu's mother smiled kindly at Lan Tian, ​​"Then we will go back first. Sir, you are so lucky..."

Lan Tian smiled and watched the two of them walk out of the courtyard. At this moment, Lan Qing's clear cry came from the room. Like a conditioned reflex, Lan Tian rushed towards the main room to the north.

When I entered the room, I smelled a stinky smell. It turned out that Lan Qing had pooped her crotch after waking up from sleep, and the maid Yue'er was changing her diapers and wiping her butt. She was so skillful in her work that it made people feel distressed.

Lu Lingqi stretched her waist and said, "Husband, are you done with your work? It seems to be getting dark outside. Has the day passed like this again? What day is it today? Why does this confinement feel so long..."

"Today is the seventh day of the twelfth lunar month, and there are still thirteen days before your confinement."

It was actually the 19th day of the twelfth lunar month, and he hoped that Lu Lingqi could rest for a few more days, which would be beneficial to her postpartum recovery.

Lu Lingqi frowned, pouted and asked, "Why are there still thirteen days? These days are too difficult. I just want to go out for a walk today."

"Xiaojun, you must be sleepy, but you must persevere. Although Guangzhou is warmer than Quanling, it is close to the sea and there is sea breeze in the morning and evening..." Lan Tian shook his head and said.

"But it's so boring..." Lu Lingqi turned her neck and made a clicking sound.

"Shall I call Zhong Ling to play chess with you?" Lan Tian asked tentatively.

Lu Lingqi shook her head and said: "Beast fighting chess is not fun. I want you to tell me a story, like "The Legend of the Condor Heroes"."

Lantian raised his head and thought about what stories women would like to hear. "The Warbler in the Red Chamber" seemed not to suit Lu Lingqi's temperament, and the "Feng Shen" and "Journey to the West" myths were too bizarre to accept. In the end, he chose the short story "The Sword of the Sword of the Sword".

The story of Yue Nv Sword is not long, and it was briefly treated by Lan Tian, ​​and it was roughly told in less than half an hour.

Most of the stories used real historical figures, so Lu Lingqi listened very carefully. At the end of the story, she still had more to say, "Is this story true? Spring and Autumn Period, Fan Li, Yue Wang, Xi Shi..."

"Of course it's a lie..." Lan Tian shook his head.

"The Yue Nv Sword is not as perfect as The Legend of the Condor Heroes, and Ah Qing is not as lucky as Huang Rong, so what's the use of being good at martial arts? Just like my father..." Lu Lingqi looked a little sad.

Lan Tian put his arm around her shoulders and comforted her: "I am born with talents that will be useful. If Xiaojun didn't have this martial arts, maybe we would never meet..."

Lu Lingqi leaned her head on Lan Tian, ​​"My husband is right, but women are always men's vassals, just like Xi Shi in the story. Beauty may not be beneficial to ordinary people."

"That's not necessarily the case. A good skin still has a natural advantage. There are many stunning women in history who have conquered the country..."

Lan Tian suddenly stopped mid-sentence. He didn't know if there was Diao Chan in this plane. When talking about Diao Chan, he had to mention Lu Bu and Dong Zhuo, so he chose to end this dangerous topic.

"What stunning beauty? I know there was a Baosi who set fire to her before." Lu Lingqi didn't think of Diao Chan at all.
