After Hua Tuo left, Lan Tian called Gao Yuan and said: "There are still three hours before dinner. I will make a list for you and give it to Hu Ke, and ask him to notify the people on the list who are going to the banquet, and then let Shi Zhi go. Come back to the market to buy some ingredients."
Shi Zhi was sent to Nanhai as a hostage by Shi Xie. At first, he was arranged by Lan Tian to supervise the Panyu Trading Company and accumulated a lot of experience in the operation of the trading bank.
After the initial construction of Guangzhou City, Lantian saw that the scholar was upright and mature, so he appointed him as the postal supervisor in the trade zone to manage the merchants in the market; the anti-undercover Hu Ke was appointed by Lantian as a roving captain, who was mainly responsible for the relationship between the state and government offices. contact.
"Wei." Gao Yuan nodded and stood aside.
Lan Tian asked someone to get paper and pen, and drew up the list in the courtyard. Then he handed it to Gao Yuan and said, "It should be all here. Just ask Hu Ke to take the medicine according to the prescription."
Gao Yuan glanced at him and reminded: "Shopkeeper Song is back from Chengdu, do you want to inform him as well? Please arrange for the rescued Pang De to go with him."
"Why didn't you tell me earlier? What's General Pang doing here?" Lan Tian looked confused.
"It is said that I was ordered by General Zuo to come to Jiaozhou to be dispatched by Mr. You. You were busy planting trees at the time, so I asked them to wait at the post house first and come back to see you tomorrow morning," Gao Yuan answered with clasped fists.
Lantian was startled when he heard this. Isn't Pang De at Zhang Fei's place in Langzhong? Why did his brother-in-law send him to Jiaozhou? Is it possible that there are some difficulties?
"Then invite them all together, just in time to help General Pang clean up his dust." Lan Tian nodded.
"Wei." Gao Yuan clasped his fists and left.
At this time, Lantian was still immersed in the joy of his daughter. One moment he called Lu Lingqi's maid to take good care of her, and the next moment he asked the kitchen to prepare light food for her alone. He was restless and paced back and forth in the courtyard.
"Husband, I didn't see you so happy when I was pregnant with Ji'er. Do you like your daughter so much?" Lu Lingqi asked in confusion.
Lan Tian clapped his hands and said, "Yuan'er and Ji'er are more naughty than the other. My daughter should be more quiet and considerate. I have someone to talk to you when I'm not at home. Isn't that good?"
"But my daughter will marry someone else sooner or later." Lu Lingqi shook her head.
Lan Tian smiled bitterly and said: "Xiaojun, are you thinking too far? You haven't shown your pregnancy yet. You have to be more open-minded about your children. Parents and children are destined to be together, even though they are bound by blood. , but once the children grow up, they will become other people's husbands and other people's wives, and only we, the old couple, will be with us in the end."
"Hate. What kind of old couple? Ziyu, do you think I'm old? It just so happens that I'm pregnant right now and it's inconvenient. Do you want me to have a concubine for you?" Lu Lingqi asked sincerely.
Lan Tianxin said that women really know how to communicate. He hurriedly waved his hand and changed the subject: "Didn't I tell you not to mention this matter earlier? My husband would never agree to it. Xiaojun, do you know why I am better than others?"
"Why?" Lu Lingqi also wanted to know.
"That's because everyone is born with desires. Only when you can control desires can you dominate yourself. If you can't control desires, you will be dominated by desires. I said, 'If you don't fight with me, no one in the world can fight with you.' There are very few people in this world who can truly be themselves. few.
There are so many heroes throughout the ages. These people may be for fame, profit, power, or beauty. As long as their desires are endless, they will become the puppets of desire. Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao, Sun Ce, and their uncle were all defeated because of this." Lan Tian sigh.
"What about Cao Cao, Sun Quan and Xuande?" Lu Lingqi asked.
Lan Tian put his hands behind his back and looked up to the sky to think for a while, and then slowly replied: "Cao Cao seems to be happy with grudges, but in fact he is also controlling his desires. Otherwise, how could he be so polite to the nobles led by Xun Yu, Zhong Yao, and Chen Qun?
His brother-in-law was benevolent and righteous throughout the world. If he did not work hard to control his desires, otherwise his poor and lonely background and his great ambition to revive the Han Dynasty would have been lost in this troubled world, so he had stronger self-control than Cao Cao. "
"Where is Sun Quan?" Lu Lingqi asked again.
"Ahem, Sun Quan is a junior compared to them, so I won't comment as a husband." Lantian really didn't have anything to say. The hero of one party had some shining points, but Sun Quan was only defending the city.
"My husband is in such good health and deliberately controls his desires. Could he be trying to become a saint?" Lu Lingqi looked curious.
"Well, how can a wife force her husband to take a concubine? A person's lifespan and energy are always limited. Helping my brother-in-law rule the world will consume a lot of energy. If I take in a few more concubines, how much energy do you think I have left? Share it with you and the children?" This is what Lan Tian really thinks. Besides, Lu Lingqi's body is so flexible that ordinary women can't compare with it.
"I can spare it." Lu Lingqi was very moved when she heard this. She touched her belly and felt a warm current rising up.
Lan Tian decided to hold a banquet in the evening, and his state pastoral office was busy making preparations. Knowing that Lu Lingqi was pregnant with her third child, he stayed with her in the back house without caring about government affairs.
The sun was gradually setting, and Gao Shun took Lan Yuan and Lan Ji back home. The two children played wildly for a day. The clothes on their bodies were basically wet due to sweat, and their hair was bunched together as if they were caught in the rain. They could see each other from a distance. It smells salty.
"Father, mother, are you all here? I scored sixteen goals today, and my eldest brother scored seventeen goals." Lan Ji said excitedly.
"How many games have we played? With such a big score, is it because the trapped soldiers gave up to you?" Lan Tian asked with a smile.
Lan Yuan replied: "We played two games in the morning and afternoon. In fact, they didn't let us do much. The other side only lost one person."
"It seems that I guessed right. One more person is crucial." Lantian said seriously.
"No, it's mainly because my eldest brother and I ran fast, and Uncle Lu and Uncle Gao both saw us." Lan Ji pouted and said.
Lan Tian was also speechless when he called his son. Although Lu Tie and Gao Shun were superiors and subordinates, they were indeed equals in terms of age. Lan Ji was helpless in forcing him to be inferior. The main reason was that Gao Shun and Lu Lingqi had a master-disciple relationship, so they became Being of the same generation as Lan Tian does not show respect.
Gao Shun nodded in affirmation: "The two young masters run very fast, and their strength is also very good. I think they will be able to go to the battlefield in a few years."
Lan Tian looked at his two sons in front of him. Their heights have increased rapidly in the past two years. Lan Yuan is over 6 feet 5 without wearing shoes, which is taller than the short 'Zhang Song'. He will probably surpass Boss Cao soon. He met the standard for joining the army in terms of height.
Lan Tian is seven feet five inches tall. His sons' crazy growth has obviously been inherited from Lu Lingqi. Their grandfather Lu Bu was exaggeratedly tall. This can be regarded as improving the height genes of the Lan family. No wonder the descendants of ancient emperors are not bad.
"Don't give in in the future. If there is one more person playing football, the strength of the troops will be unequal." Lan Tian said.
Gao Shun nodded, "That's what I originally planned. Lu Tie said he would take care of the two young masters."
"Go and wash up quickly. Don't you feel uncomfortable with the smelly sweat?" Lan Tian touched Lan Yuan's arm and felt sticky.
Lan Ji took two steps and realized something was wrong, "Won't mother come and rub our backs?"
"Someone will rub your back. Your mother won't have time anymore. She's already a grown-up child." Lan Tian said scornfully.
Lan Yuan and Lan Ji were startled and looked at each other, wondering what father meant by this? Although we are taller than our peers, we are still children.
