"Huh?" Lan Tian looked confused.
After a while, Lu Lingqi went back to the house to get a weapon and asked meaningfully: "Can your husband recognize this thing?"
"This is not uncle... Xiaojun, you..." Lan Tian saw that it was Fang Tian who was painting the halberd, so he acted a little surprised.
Lu Lingqi turned her halberd in a flower dance and explained: "Zhong Ling killed Cao Zhang in Nanyang Formation and retrieved his father's relics from him."
"I don't know where my uncle's remains are. Xiaojun left them here with some thoughts in mind. How about using it to make a tomb for my husband?" Lan Tian was worried that Lu Lingqi would miss him after seeing the things, so he came up with this idea.
Lu Lingqi frowned: "Weapons must be used frequently. If they are stored in a tomb, they will easily perish. Unfortunately, Boyang and Zhongling have good ones. I don't know how to deal with them..."
"Uh... Xiaojun, please keep it for yourself. When we arrive in the capital, you will dance the halberd every day and I will practice the Five Animals Opera with you." Lan Tian comforted with a smile.
Lu Lingqi shook her head and replied: "What is my husband's status at this time? If I wield a knife and a gun in the house, wouldn't it make people laugh if word spread?"
"What's so funny about this? In the past, when His Majesty married Mrs. Sun, she danced with swords all day long and no one laughed at her..." Lan Tian was puzzled.
Lu Lingqi: "That's because Mrs. Sun was young in the past. Why don't you ask me now? It's better to find a general who knows how to use a halberd as a gift than to lie at home and eat ashes."
"It's better to leave it to Qing'er than to give it away. Isn't she also learning martial arts from Xiaojun?" Lan Tian had an idea.
Lu Lingqi was startled when she heard this and murmured: "Is this...is this good? I'm afraid it will be difficult to get married in the future..."
"Xiaojun, you can rest assured. How can Qing'er worry about getting married? Besides, although Fang Tian's painted halberd is not a magic weapon, it is my uncle's relic after all. It's better to keep it in our house. If it doesn't work, just give it to Yang'er." Lan Tian stroked Must nod. (Yang'er, nickname, son of Lan Yuan and Liu Wan)
"My husband is thinking too far, Yang'er is only one year old..." Lu Lingqi smiled, and suddenly used the topic to ask: "Yin screen had grown up last year, when will the marriage between Zhong Ling and her be held?"
"The original agreement was to consummate the marriage in Luoyang. Yun Chang has now begun to march into the Central Plains. I think it is only a matter of time to seize Luoyang. In short, it should be soon." Lan Tian nodded lightly.
"The time is already very tight. I have to stay in Guangzhou to prepare the betrothal gift." Lu Lingqi's face was serious.
Lan Tian asked in surprise: "Xiaojun, won't you go to Chang'an with me?"
"Yang'er is still so young, and it's inconvenient to travel far away with the adults. It's not too late to wait for my husband to settle down before taking us north." Lu Lingqi said sternly.
"Okay." Lan Tian nodded slightly, then pursed his lips and said, "It's just that my husband has resigned from the post of Jiaozhou Mu for two years, and it's not appropriate to still live in the Zhou Mu's Mansion..."
"I originally wanted to move to Wanghai Courtyard, but Jiang Gongyan refused to agree to anything. I tried several times but couldn't get it through. Bo Ping also advised me to live in peace, otherwise the governor of Jiang would not be able to explain to my husband." Lu Lingqi He shook his head.
After hearing this, Lan Tian stroked his beard and nodded, "That's okay. As the saying goes, nothing bothers the two masters. Then you can stay here a little longer and I'll go talk to him tomorrow."
Jiaozhou is Lantian's "rear area". The day after he returned to Guangzhou, his former subordinates lined up to invite him to a banquet. In addition to old acquaintances such as Jiang Wan and Gao Shun, there were also Zhang Zhao and others who came from Jiangdong. They are very accustomed to living in Guangzhou.
Because Lantian's time was limited, Jiang Wan was asked to hold a banquet in the Zhou Mu Mansion and gather with old and new friends in the main hall of the vestibule.
Seeing everyone enjoying themselves at the banquet, Lan Tian knew that Jiang Wan was capable. Although the officials were close to each other in private, they did not form cliques because of their interests. Lan Tian felt very relieved after drinking the wine.
During his stay in Guangzhou, he visited four major areas in the city as a guest, focusing on the cultural and educational department. The most important thing in the cultural and educational department was Guangzhou Academy. After Liu Xi passed away, Zhao Shuang naturally took over and became the new helmsman. .
During his visit to Lantian, he discovered many Jiangdong faces. After getting to know them, he learned that many people from the Huaisi sect chose to become officials, but in the end they all went to Guangzhou Academy to study Confucian classics.
Seeing that the career he had worked for all his life was booming, Lan Tian boarded the warship heading north with satisfaction. He originally wanted to go to Zhuya to visit the Agricultural College, but obviously he didn't have enough time, so he could only look forward to coming back next time.
Lantian traveled to Quanling, Changsha, Xiangyang and other places, and arrived in the capital Chang'an in early November of that year. Liu Bei took hundreds of officials out of the city to greet him that day.
The soldiers stood on both sides of the white canopy. Liu Bei was waiting anxiously under the canopy. When he heard the sound of horse hooves coming closer and closer in the south, he stepped down from his chariot and said happily to Fazheng: "Xiaozhi, Ziyu must have arrived. I want to go up." Go and meet him.”
"His Majesty..."
Fa Zheng originally wanted to dissuade Liu Bei because he was losing the majesty of the emperor, but remembering that Lan Tian and Liu Bei had a close relationship, he probably couldn't help but just didn't speak.
"Hahaha, Ziyu, I've been waiting for you to come." Liu Bei stood in front of the crowd and laughed loudly.
Lan Tian was so flattered that he dismounted early and ran towards Liu Bei. When he saw him, he clasped his fists and bowed: "How can your majesty come to greet me? Lan Tian is frightened."
"What did Ziyu say? You and I are brothers." Liu Bei helped Lan Tian up with both hands.
"Uh...I..." Lantian saw Liu Bei's sincere expression and really didn't know how to resist this enthusiasm.
Liu Bei held Lan Tian's hand tightly and led him towards the city gate. As he walked, he said, "Ziyu has worked hard all the way. If you have anything to say, let's talk about it on the way. All the officials are waiting to pick you up."
"Your Majesty's courtesy is so grand..." Lan Tian looked embarrassed.
"The first day we met? I always treat my brothers like this, and the official in charge of the court will not say anything." Liu Bei said domineeringly.
"Okay." Lan Tian nodded lightly.
The two walked to the gate of the city. Liu Bei pointed at Lantian and said: "This is Lantian, Lan Ziyu, Mr. Xuan Owl, is my pillar of strength. Please recognize your face first, and then we can get close to each other when we return to the palace for a banquet." ."
"only."
"General Blue."
"Da Si Nong."
...
Lantian saw many familiar faces in Jingzhou, but he still couldn't remember most of them, so he could only wave and greet everyone in return.
"Ziyu, ride with me." Liu Bei waved to Lan Tian to board the royal chariot. The six horses in front of the chariot were all white and flawless.
"Uh...I'd better ride a horse..." Lan Tianxin said that this was too eye-catching.
"Come up quickly." Liu Bei said in a tone that he could not refuse. After hearing this, Lan Tian could only get on the chariot.
Liu Bei turned around and invited Fazheng again: "Will the Taiwei come too?"
"Your Majesty, don't worry about me. You and General Lan still need to reminisce about old times. I just need to ride behind the chariot." Fazheng bowed his hand and said goodbye. He had reached such a height that he could hear Liu Bei's kind words.
"Okay, uncle, let's go back to the palace." Liu Bei nodded and ordered.
"Wei." Chen Dao clasped his fists and accepted the order, leading the imperial army to clear the way.
"Didn't Mrs. Lu come with Ziyu?" Liu Bei asked curiously, looking at Lantian.
Lan Tian shook his head and replied: "The weather is turning cold now, and she is worried that Yang'er will not be able to travel far. I plan to pick her up again next year when the weather warms up."
"I really want to see my grandson, but Mrs. Lu is not here just in time." Liu Bei laughed meaningfully.
