During the Three Kingdoms period, it was common for men to take concubines, but there were very few high-ranking men like Lan Tian who did not take concubines. Lu Lingqi once chose two beautiful maids to serve as her bedside attendants, but was finally rejected by this guy with modern thinking.
Lu Lingqi has a very good character. Although she has no knowledge, she is quite knowledgeable. Lan Tian feels that he should be content with what he has. A person's energy in life is very limited. Overindulging in love will lose fighting spirit. He also has to fight for higher ideals.
Furthermore, having too many wives and concubines can easily lead to disaster. Lan Tian did not want to see his children killing each other in the future. Neither Cao Cao's children nor Sun Quan's children escaped this fate.
Lu Lingqi and Lan Tian were joking briefly and walking hand in hand on Xuan Owl Street. After walking a few feet, he noticed a strange phenomenon. The farmer selling vegetables and fruits did not appear. He thought, had he sold out and gone home?
The Lantian family wandered around the street for a while and found that the construction workers were gathering in the barracks one after another. It turned out that it was already time to rest at noon.
The aroma of delicious meat immediately wafted from each camp. It seemed that Gao Shun was feeding everyone again today.
"Xiaojun, invite the children and let's have some meat." Lan Tian said to Lu Lingqi.
Lu Lingqi smiled slightly and said: "Don't eat free rice again today..."
"We've all said we should eat meat, how can we only eat white rice in the first month of the year..." Lan Tian laughed.
Lu Lingqi said no more, took Lan Tian's arm and walked straight to the barracks. While walking, Lan Tian whistled to Gao Yuan.
Because the two people spoke loudly, the conversation was overheard by several passers-by.
After the Lantian couple left, several people gathered together and whispered.
Passerby A: "These two people are dressed in extraordinary clothes, but they actually want to eat for free. They are really unkind..."
Passerby B: "There are troops guarding the barracks. They can't think so, right? They will be driven away ruthlessly in a while."
Passerby C: "Perhaps it's auspicious in the first month. Aren't the trapped troops still human beings no matter how powerful they are? Should we join in and have a meal? I have to say that the smell of meat is really tempting..."
When the three passers-by gathered together, they followed him innocently. They watched the Lantian family and eight or nine guards from a distance, and walked over to meet the trapped army guards.
Just as they were rubbing their eyes, they found that two more people were walking over, and all those tough soldiers let them go.
The three passers-by looked at each other, as if they were saying: You really can eat for free. If we run faster, there might be some meat.
Everyone checked their eyes, and then walked over side by side. As soon as they reached the guard, they heard a loud shout: "The barracks is a big place, everyone is waiting to retreat as soon as possible."
Passers-by A and B pushed Passer-by C to the front. Passer-by C took courage and said with a smile: "Happy New Year to the military lords. We are here to have a meal."
The fire head in charge of the guard frowned: "Which battalion do you belong to? You are so neat and tidy that you don't look like working people. Are you here to entertain us?"
"We were passing by and just wanted to go in for a meal. We had no other intention." Passerby C said hesitantly.
Huotou sneered and pulled out the shining sword: "Do you think I can't explain clearly? If you want to eat for free, ask about this knife first."
The three passers-by were frightened by Huotou's actions and took two steps back. Passer-by C continued to argue: "I... we just saw someone going in. Why can they go and eat free meals, but we can't..."
"That was the Panyu County Magistrate and County Magistrate just now. May I ask what your identities are?" Huo Tou asked contemptuously.
"There were eight or nine people before them..." Passerby Yi hid behind and raised his hand to add.
The fire head suddenly became serious, and then said coldly: "You are not qualified to know their identities, why don't you leave me quickly now? My precious sword does not want to drink the blood of the weak."
The three of them were immediately scared to death, and huge waves arose in their hearts, thinking that the identities of Lan Tian and others were incredible, why are we so stupid?
Lantian and his group showed up in the barracks. Gao Shun, Shamoke, Lu Tie and others quickly came over, and a few bowls of food were put into their hands in a short time.
"This food is fragrant. We all came here because of the smell. Don't all look at me. Let's eat our own food." Lan Tian said.
The furnishings of the barracks are relatively simple. Apart from the table for serving food, there is not even a bed for sitting on. Everyone eats standing where they are.
Lantian found that Lu Lingqi and the two children ate with gusto, which was very similar to his own habit of not being picky about food. After using his chopsticks, he discovered that in addition to sea fish, there were vegetables, radishes and even pork in the bowl.
The ingredients are rich and comprehensive. Lantian thought while eating: Do people carry pork here to sell it? It seems that everything is available around the construction site.
"Boping, you did a good job with the extra meal. You really put your heart into it." Lan Tian praised.
Gao Shun waved his hand quickly: "It's all thanks to General Sha. I didn't worry too much about logistics."
"Oh? The people who come to do business are very smart. They even figured out your habit of not liking to eat sea fish, and even brought pork here to sell." Lantian continued to praise Shamoko, and everyone heard this It was all a roar of laughter.
Shamoko scratched his head and replied embarrassedly: "Actually, I didn't do anything. The vegetables, meat, fruits and vegetables for the extra meal were all provided by Shopkeeper Wang..."
"Shopkeeper Wang?" Lan Tian suddenly frowned.
Shamoko nodded and said: "He is a big merchant in Panyu City. He can get a complete set of things every time. This saves me a lot of effort."
"Those farmers who go to the construction site to carry loads..." Lan Tian hesitated.
Shamoko explained with a wry smile: "Their goods were originally incomplete, and they suddenly stopped coming after selling them twice. Fortunately, I met Shopkeeper Wang later, and the money I spent every time was about the same..."
"So that's it. Let's continue eating." After hearing this, Lan Tian motioned for everyone to continue.
After a simple lunch, Lu Lingqi suggested taking the children to play at the beach. Lan Tian asked her to go first with the children, while she wanted to ride around to see the construction situation.
Lu Lingqi didn't want to disturb Lan Tian, so she walked out with her two sons, Gao Yuan and others.
Before setting off, Lantian whispered a few words into Gao Yuan's ear. Gao Yuan listened carefully and nodded.
Lan Tian and Gao Shun were preparing to inspect. At this time, the guards outside the account came to report that Panyu County Magistrate Chen Tu and County Magistrate Yao Qi asked to see them.
"How long have they been here?" Lan Tian asked doubtfully.
"I came here with you, sir. Originally, I wanted to report it immediately, but County Magistrate Chen didn't want to disturb me, so..." the guard replied.
Lan Tian nodded slightly, "Invite them to come over."
"Wei." The guard took the order and left.
Lan Tian stood in the middle, Gao Shun and Samoko stood on the left and right, and Chen Tu and Yao Qi walked into the barracks and bowed.
"Master Fu, General Gao, General Sha..."
Lan Tian nodded slightly, and then asked: "Panyu officials have not finished their rest, what are you doing here if you are not reunited at home?"
Chen Tu cupped his hands and replied: "Yao Gong and I have nothing to do. We were just playing on Xuan Oiao Street and met the Lord by chance, so I came here to accompany you."
"County Magistrate Chen is interested. I'm going to look around now. If you have nothing to do, why don't you come together?" Lan Tian invited.
"Wei." Chen Tu replied in unison.
