Lan Tian looked at Adou in disbelief, and then looked at Gan Qian innocently, saying in his heart that your son should write novels.

Gan Qian hurriedly asked: "Adou, who told you all this?"

Adou muttered lowly: "I promised to keep it a secret..."

Gan Qian shouted sternly: "You bastard, how can you lie to your parents?"

Seeing whether Adou was about to cry or not, Lan Tian quickly bumped Adou's butt with his hand and coaxed with a smile: "A man rules the world with filial piety, and Adou is so smart, how can he disobey his mother?"

Adou leaned on Lan Tian's shoulder, glanced at Gan Qian secretly, and then whispered: "Sister Wan told me that her mother and you were trapped in a courtyard. At that time, Xiapi City had been breached, and it was my uncle who blocked the way.

Defeated the bad guys in the courtyard..."

"She is right, but your uncle was..." Gan Qian said halfway, not knowing whether to tell the truth or not.

Adou continued to add: "My uncle was so powerful at that time that he knocked back an enemy with one punch. The dead man's chest was covered in blood, so I guess he was punched through..."

"What else did she say?" Gan Qian asked again.

Adou's little eyes rolled, "Sister Wan's mother asked her to remember her kindness and to respect her uncle especially when she grows up..."

Hearing this, Lan Tian and Gan Qian looked at each other and smiled. It turned out that Mi Zhen still remembered this past event before she was alive.

Women in this era are miserable. Mi Zhen speculates that after her death, her daughter Liu Wan will be raised by Gan Qian.

Mi Zhen knew that Lan Tian was more capable than her two brothers, and that her and Lu Lingqi's piano and singing were often praised by outsiders, so she taught Liu Wan to be grateful for being close to Lan Tian, ​​so that she would be protected by Lan Tian in the future.

Lan Tian explained calmly: "At that time, your mother and Wan'er's mother were hiding in the room. My uncle actually had a sword in his hand, and there were several guards to help..."

"Uncle must be being modest. Father often says this about you..." Adou glared at him.

Lan Ji also followed suit, "Father, he likes this, and my two uncles, General Guan and General Zhang, also said so..."

Gan Qian smiled bitterly: "Ziyu, please don't explain. Who told you to act low-key and modest..."

Lan Tian then put the two children on the ground, waved his hand and said, "Let General Guan and General Zhang hug you. They are the real martial arts masters."

Lan Ji didn't really want to hug him, he just wanted to feel his father's love up close. During this period, Lan Tian was extremely busy and often didn't see anyone throughout the day.

A Dou still had something to say, so Lan Ji put his hand on his shoulder and said in a low and mysterious voice: "How can a woman in the world beat a man? My aunt can't beat my uncle, right? So my mother can't beat my father either..."

"Auntie is not an ordinary woman..." Adou said doubtfully.

The two children whispered, putting the two adults behind them to shame. When they walked into the courtyard, they found that Lu Lingqi was not there. Lan Tian asked Gan Qian doubtfully: "Where is Madam?"

"The weather is too hot now. My brothers and sisters have gone back to take a cold bath to relieve the heat. After a tiring day, you should go back to the house to rest early. I will take the children to bed first." Gan Qian replied.

"It's so hot in the room. Dad, I really can't sleep. Can you watch the stars in the courtyard for a while and then go back to the house when the heat stops?" Lan Ji remembered the promise he made at 3 o'clock in the morning.

"Uncle, why don't you just tell us a story?" Adou followed.

"Do you have a story to listen to?" Lan Yuan came over after pouring the foot-washing water.

Lantian looked at the stars in the sky, and he remembered that this moon corresponded to the crescent moon. The moon only appeared in the western sky during the evening period. No wonder the stars were so dazzling tonight. Lu Lingqi's plan to enjoy the moon would probably come to nothing.

"Ziyu, it's been unbearably hot these days at night, why don't you let the children cool off in the courtyard?" Gan Qian saw that the children were saying this, and she couldn't help but help.

Lantian looked at the children with great expectations, and suddenly remembered the days when he was young and watched the stars in the countryside. Those were the days without fans and air conditioners, so he had to rely on the natural wind to survive the scorching heat.

Lan Tian moved several low tables to make beds, and asked the maid to spread mats on them. The shape resembled a long bunk.

"Ziyu, do you let the children sleep in the courtyard at night? Not only are they bitten by mosquitoes, but they are also prone to cold..." Gan Qian asked worriedly.

"It's cooler inside the courtyard. Let the children sleep for a while and then take them back to the house later."

Lantian recalled that when he was young, he often slept in the open air. The conditions at that time seemed to be worse than now. He always slept in a large round dustpan with two long benches underneath. The stars in those days were the same as they are now.

Shiny.

"Okay, Ziyu, you watch them first, and I'll go see if Wan'er and Shu'er are asleep." Gan Qian nodded.

"If it's hot and stuffy in the room, ask them to come out to cool down." After listening to Adou's words, Lantian was very touched. Even though Mi Zhen had a temperamental temper, she was still planning for her daughter when she was dying. This is the so-called maternal love, right?

.

Gan Qian felt the same and turned back to the house. Lan Tian was lying in the middle of the 'Tongpu'. He looked at the sky and said: "Kids, come here and I will teach you stargazing."

"Father, what star is that?" Lan Ji pointed at a star and asked.

Lan Tian looked along the direction of his little hand and found that the child actually asked about a special star. He smiled and said to everyone: "You'd better remember this star. Its name is Polaris. If you get lost at night

If you know the direction, you can use it to identify the direction. Polaris points to the north."

Adou asked doubtfully: "But these stars are all similar, how can we find the North Star?"

Lan Tian smiled and said: "If you look closely, the stars in the sky are actually moving slowly, except for the North Star. Another way is to find the Big Dipper, which are the seven stars close together not far from it."

..."

"I saw it, but the shape seems very special." Lan Yuan said to himself.

"Does it look like a spoon? The four in front are the bucket, the remaining three are the handle, and the mouth of the bucket is facing the North Star." Lan Tian continued to introduce.

"Really, this spoon is easy to find." Adou sat up in excitement. At this time, Gan Qian took Liu Wan and Liu Shu out to enjoy the cool air.

"Ziyu has already started talking?" Gan Qian asked with a smile.

Lan Tian lay down and replied: "Well, I teach the children to watch stars."

"Wan'er, Shu'er, go and sleep quickly, your uncle doesn't get free time very often." Gan Qian joked.

Lan Ji urged: "Father, please continue talking..."

"I just said that the North Star determines the north, and the spoon-shaped Big Dipper determines the four seasons. The handle pointing east is spring, the handle pointing east is summer, the handle pointing west is autumn, and the handle pointing north is winter." Lan Tian did not expect the last thing.

The youngest one is eager to learn.

After hearing this, A Dou had an idea and asked doubtfully: "If you know the four seasons, wouldn't it be possible to determine the direction based on the Big Dipper?"

Lan Tian looked at Adou in surprise, gave him a thumbs up, and praised: "Adou can draw inferences from one instance, and a kid can be taught..."

"What's the name of father's star?" It was Lan Ji, the youngest, who asked again.
