"Yide, call Xingguo up tonight and ask him to get close to Boyang." Liu Bei stopped Zhang Fei and added.
Zhang Fei nodded lightly: "That's what I meant."
Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan and left, and Zhang Fei chased after him with a long stride. Lan Tian saw the two people's close backs and secretly praised Zhang Fei for his ability to deal with intellectuals. He was not even a bit better than Guan Yu.
Liu Bei had the ambition to conquer the Central Plains, so when he ascended the throne as Queen of Hanzhong, he did not build a new mansion, but expanded it on the basis of the original General Zuo's mansion.
Because Liu Bei's wives and concubines did not have many heirs, the three wives were placed in the palace behind the palace. In addition to building a separate mansion for the prince Liu Chan, the others Liu Yong, Liu Li, Liu Yi, and Liu Wan all lived in their mother's palace.
Gan Qian's residence is called Xiaying Palace. It has only seven or eight rooms surrounding two courtyards and a simple back garden. There are only more than twenty maids and servants. She was born in poverty and took the lead in practicing economy and not indulge in pleasure. Far less grand than the ostentation of princes and princesses in later generations.
When Lan Tian and Liu Bei entered the main hall of Xiaying, they saw Gan Qian holding Xiao Lan Qing and talking and laughing with Lu Lingqi.
Standing next to Gan Qian was a young and beautiful girl, whose fair skin was almost exactly the same as Gan Qian's. Lan Tian guessed that it was Liu Wan, the eldest daughter of the sworn sister, and Lan Yuan stood like a stake next to them.
When Lan Tian saw Gan Qian smiling, crow's feet appeared at the corners of her eyes, he thought to himself that her sister was only two years older than him, and lamented that her natural beauty could not withstand the erosion of time.
"It's so lively." Liu Bei said with a smile.
"Your Majesty..."
"The King of Hanzhong..."
"Brother Tian..."
"uncle..."
"Father..."
There was a cacophony of shouts. Everyone called to each person, and everyone received their own response.
Gan Qian held Lan Qing with her left hand and patted Liu Wan's back with her right hand, signaling her daughter to have someone prepare for the case. It was not appropriate to stand there and talk when relatives met.
"Qing'er wants to be hugged by his father..." Lan Qing stretched out her hand and shouted to Lan Tian.
Gan Qian quickly bent down and put Lan Qing on the ground, and Lan Qing rushed into Lan Tian's arms.
"Why are Qing'er so close to you?" Gan Qian joked with a smile.
Lantian responded with a smile: "I'm usually busy with government affairs, so I hug her when I get home. It's become a habit to go back and forth."
"You... treat one another favorably. You don't hug Boyang and Zhong Ling much, especially Zhong Ling's child. It's a pity that we didn't come to Chengdu together this time. I missed that naughty boy."
While Gan Qian was speaking, the maids had already set up the banquet table. Liu Bei and Lan Tian were seated on the left and right sides. There were fruits and drinks on the long table in the middle.
"Zhong Ling led troops at Yunchang's place. He was very obsessed with military affairs at a young age. He didn't stay long when he returned to Guangzhou every year. When his wings became hard, he wanted to fly by himself. When Zhong Ling gets older, I will ask him to come to Chengdu in person. Pay a visit to my sister, or after the king regains Luoyang, my sister will definitely move to the old capital, and then we can see each other more often." Lan Tian explained with a smile.
After hearing this, Gan Qian was startled for a moment, and then nodded kindly, "With Ziyu's help, I believe you can conquer Luoyang. I really miss the days in Quanling. The children were still young at that time, and Zhongling and Boyang often visited each other." fight..."
"It's normal for children to quarrel and fight. As long as adults don't interfere, they know how to solve it themselves." Lan Tian disagreed.
Gan Qian said so that Lan Yuan blushed and lowered her head, while Liu Wan, who was opposite her, put her crooked finger on the tip of her nose. At that time, she was living with her mother in Lantian's home, and it was common for the two brothers to fight and fight.
Lu Lingqi was able to control the situation, but according to Lan Tian's explanation, he was not allowed to get into trouble when the children were playing, as long as it did not affect safety and did not participate in the children's disputes. He completely delegated the right to solve the problem to the two parties involved. square.
Lan Ji has a strong personality since he was a child, and he will attack if he can't beat Lan Yuan. As the elder brother, Lan Yuan knows how to measure his limits, but he will teach him ruthlessly if he goes too far. Later, Lu Lingqi taught the two brothers to practice martial arts, and they inevitably fought each other with bruises and swollen faces. However, the two brothers became more and more The better the relationship is.
When they were about eight or nine years old, the two brothers became brothers and sisters.
There was never another fight.
Gan Qian didn't understand Lantian's education very much, because Gan Qian grew up in the countryside. She saw that whether they were tenant farmers or landlords, they all asked the eldest brother to give up or care for the younger brother. After all, only the eldest son can inherit the family business after he becomes an adult. Or all the non-eldest sons will be separated from the family,
Now that she saw Lan Yuan and Lan Ji becoming so talented, Gan Qian became very interested in Lan Tian's education, so she asked during the dinner: "Ziyu, there is something that I have never understood. Zhong Ling's strength and height are both If you are not as good as Boyang, why did you ignore it at that time? Normal people would help the weak, right?"
"Then why does Zhong Ling still challenge his brother when he knows he can't beat him?" Lan Tian asked back.
"Uh... isn't Zhong Ling younger? He has been short-tempered since he was a child and is not as stable as Boyang. Shouldn't we be more tolerant?" Gan Qian said what she was thinking.
Lan Tian shook his head and replied: "Being young is not a reason to be strong. If I went to help Zhong Ling at that time, would it be unfair to Boyang? Just because he is two or three years older, does he have to suffer these grievances when he is reading? "
"But the eldest son will eventually inherit the family business, and he can also cultivate his temperament through these things. The Lan family is no longer a commoner in Guizhou." Gan Qian reminded.
"External possessions are not important. After a hundred years, a handful of loess can actually take away nothing. Although I am not favoring Zhongling, nor is I favoring Boyang. He has everything Boyang has, and they are all treated equally when they learn martial arts. ."
After Lan Tian finished speaking, he stuck his head out and said to Lan Yuan: "Your mother and I can only be relatively fair, but everything in the world is still incomplete. There is no need to demand so-called fairness. It is impossible for a nest of chicks to be full, so we must Learn to grab it yourself, the so-called 'survival of the fittest'."
"My child needs to be taught a lesson. I will remember your words forever." Lan Yuan nodded with his fists clasped.
"There is no difference in nature between humans and animals. The responsibility of parents is to teach their children the skills to survive. Without skills, they cannot protect their external possessions. Do you envy Zhong Ling's beautiful silver armor? If he does not have excellent martial arts, then the armor is It's for others." Lan Tian continued to teach.
"Uh... don't worry, kid." Lan Yuan kept nodding.
Liu Bei suddenly spoke up and said, "I've seen Zhong Ling's robe. It looks really cool on me. Why don't Ziyu wear one for Boyang?"
"Zhong Ling's set of robes was given by his uncle Yunchang. As for Boyang..." Lan Tian hesitated.
"Hahaha, is there such a rule? Boyang's Phi Gu is given away. I will have people go out to fight for golden helmets and golden armor tomorrow. They will definitely not be worse than those given by Yun Chang." Liu Bei laughed after hearing this.
As soon as Liu Bei finished speaking, Lan Tian noticed Liu Wan's blushing cheeks and thought that since the two children were close in age, there might be no need to wait until the crowning ceremony to get married.
