After leaving the Jiaozhou Chamber of Commerce, the sun was already setting on the horizon, and it was dusk again in the blink of an eye.

A day passes in such a hurry. When a person is doing something he is interested in, time seems to pass very quickly. When a person is doing something he hates, time is stretched infinitely.

Lan Tian had been busy all day and felt that he had not done much. He and Gao Yuan picked up their horses and walked north in the afterglow. Lu Lingqi should be preparing dinner, and Xiao Qing'er was still waiting for him to go back and hug her.

"Sir, don't you want to resettle the retired soldiers? The Jiaozhou Chamber of Commerce can place some of them. You may wish to consider it." Gao Yuan put forward his own suggestion. After all, Song Chen was a lieutenant who came from the army, so he should treat these soldiers favorably.

Retired soldiers.

Lan Tian nodded slightly: "I will place some people in the Jiaozhou Chamber of Commerce, but most people still have to go to the yamen at all levels. I have already discussed this matter with Jiang Gongyan, but it depends on personal wishes. You can also give them more property to make them like Yan Ji

Like shabu-shabu, choosing another way to live the rest of your life is actually not bad."

"It seems that I have to learn some skills from my husband. When you don't want me to be a guard in the future, you can also open a restaurant to make a living..." Gao Yuan said with a naive smile.

Lan Tian shook his head gently, "Don't think so wildly. The eighteen people Boping brought out from Xiapi, I have long regarded you as my wife's family, that is, my Lan Tian's family. The same goes for your children, although there is no guarantee.

If you get promoted and get rich, you will have no problem with food and clothing. As for your grandchildren, it depends on the fate of Boyang and Zhongling."

"Sir...you said you don't know magic? Otherwise, I didn't even shed tears when I was stabbed and bled, so why would I shed tears for no reason now..." Gao Yuan's voice was soft, and he was accidentally moved.

"Uh..." Lantian turned his head when he heard the sound, and found Gao Yuan sweeping his sleeve in front of his eyes.

"I was joking just now..." Gao Yuan blinked.

When the two returned to the State Shepherd's Mansion, the sky was getting slightly dark. Lu Lingqi had already prepared dinner, and Lan Tian stayed with Gao Yuan to dine with them, but the other party shook his head and declined, and quickly left the backyard.

Lan Yuan followed Gao Shun to Guiyang, and the back house seemed relatively deserted. Lan Tian looked at Lu Lingqi and asked, "Where is Qing'er? She shouldn't have gone to bed so early, right?"

"She was wiping her tears in the room, and I asked Yue'er to coax her..." Lu Lingqi shook her head gently.

Lan Tian had just sat down and immediately stood up when he heard Lu Lingqi's words and asked anxiously: "What's wrong with her? Is she wronged?"

"Qing'er is cute and sweet, who would let her be wronged? Yue'er helped her catch a butterfly in the afternoon, saying she wanted to play with her husband, but it died within two hours. The little girl was just a little sentimental, so she called her

I won't even go out to eat." Lu Lingqi spread her hands to show that she had tried her best.

"You're not hungry yet, I'll go into the house and take a look." Lan Tian turned around and walked towards Lan Qing's room.

As soon as I entered the house, I heard Yue'er comforting her, saying that he would catch her for her tomorrow. Spring was coming soon and there would be more and more beautiful butterflies.

Lan Qing rested her head on the table with her back to the door. She didn't know if she was asleep or something, but she lay on the table and didn't respond.

Lan Tian tiptoed forward and made a hissing sound. Seeing this, the maid Yue'er stood up slowly and whispered to Lan Qing: "Qing'er, I'm going out first..."

"Oh..." Lan Qing replied weakly.

Lan Tian and Yue'er exchanged bodies and sat directly in front of Lan Qing like a mountain. The little girl was still playing with the butterfly wings. She was obviously surprised when she saw Lan Tian.

She sat upright and said lazily: "Father is back..."

"What's wrong with our young child?" Lan Tian stroked his daughter's forehead.

"I originally wanted to play with the butterfly with my father, but unfortunately it died soon..." Lan Qing shook his little head first, then suddenly became excited when he saw Lan Tian, ​​and then grabbed Lan Tian's arm with his pink hands, "Father, you

Please help Qing'er, can you save the butterfly? It's so beautiful, why did it die..."

Lan Tian held Lan Qing in his arms, pointed at the butterfly and said: "Everything in the world has a certain life and death. Small insects like butterflies have a short life span of only a few days, and a long life span of a few months."

"It's only been a few days, why is it so short? Qing'er is already three years old." Lan Qing asked, twisting her little head.

Lan Tian smiled slightly, "This is a natural destiny. There are insects called mayflies. Their lifespan is only one day. They are born in the morning and die at night..."

With the comparison of Mayfly, Lan Qing gradually became less sad and asked again: "Does human life span also have a length?"

Lan Tian smiled and replied: "Of course, some children die in their mother's womb, while others can live dozens or even hundreds of years."

Lan Qing's little eyes rolled, and she suddenly asked a 'disobedient' question: "Father, when will you die?"

At this time, Lu Lingqi came in and happened to hear it. Lan Tian saw her angry face and hurriedly smiled and waved his hands to explain: "Tongyanwuji..."

"Mother?" Lan Qing blinked her big eyes.

"Why do you ask Qing'er like that?" Lan Tian scratched the soft bridge of her nose.

Lan Qing pouted and said: "Since people's life spans can be long or short, Qing'er wants his father to live a long time and his mother to be like his father."

Lu Lingqi's anger was gone. She lifted up the bench and sat next to her, shaking her head and sighing: "How can you do whatever you want about life, old age, illness and death? It all depends on God's will..."

"Don't be pessimistic, Xiaojun. Although lifespan is fixed, as medical skills become more and more sophisticated, people's lifespan will be lengthened. Maybe one day everyone will be 100 years old..." Lan Tian consoled him.

"Is it really possible?" Lu Lingqi looked unconvinced, because the average life span in this era was only more than thirty.

"As long as people have enough to eat and medical skills become more and more powerful, it will be possible for people to live a hundred years. Does Qing'er want to study medicine when she grows up?" Lan Tian pinched Lan Qing's little face after finishing speaking.

Lan Qing nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, "Well, when Qing'er grows up, he will study medicine and treat his father and mother..."

"Let your daughter study medicine? Isn't it good to be in the public eye..." Lu Lingqi frowned.

"There's nothing wrong with it. When Qing'er grows up, you can make your own choice, but the prerequisite is that you have to eat well and sleep well. Only if you eat well and sleep well can you grow up quickly." Lan Tian patted Lan Qing's back.

Lan Qing was so excited when she heard this that she broke away from Lan Tian's arms and jumped to the ground, "I'm going to eat now..."

Seeing the little girl staggering away, Lu Lingqi stood next to Lan Tian and praised: "Husband, you are really good at coaxing children..."

"Can it be bad? We all have experience..." Lan Tian said with a smile.

Lu Lingqi nodded slightly, then picked up the butterfly body and sighed: "Life is like a butterfly. Some people die early, but some people can survive. I really don't know what the fate is..."

When Lan Tian heard that Lu Lingqi's words of wasted death should refer to the deaths caused by wars in this era, he comforted: "Butterflies are transformed from insects. They first transform from insect eggs into larvae. When the larvae grow up, they will form cocoons. Many butterflies

Before it could emerge from its cocoon and become a butterfly, it was eaten by birds and beasts like a worm and had no chance to show off its splendor."

"Husband, what do you want to say?" Lu Lingqi asked.

"Although my uncle passed away very early, he lived as brilliantly as a butterfly. In fact, he is much better than most people who have not emerged from the cocoon..." Lan Tian shook his head.

Lu Lingqi argued: "But Thief Cao is still alive. He slaughtered so many innocent people, shouldn't he die?"

Lan Tian smiled awkwardly at first, and then said meaningfully: "The end of Cao Cao's life should have come. As for the innocent people he slaughtered in his life, because he himself didn't care, even if we outsiders scolded him, he wouldn't feel it...
