Chapter VII Reciprocity
Lu Lingqi asked for "Wei Liao Zi" from Chen Gong, and the next day she rode with Gao Shun to Ganjiazhuang.
When the two arrived, Lantian made tea with the newly picked chrysanthemums and sat reading in the warm sun.
Lan Tian was Gan Qian's foster brother. Guan Yu saw that this son was very courageous and had extraordinary conversation. After returning to Xiapi, he sent someone to give Lan Tian the "Zuo Shi Chun Qiu" he often read.
History books are boring and difficult to remember, so Guan Yu often took them out and read them, which meant reviewing the past and learning the new.
Mr. Guan Er is so heroic and proud, he is proud of his superiors and never humiliates his subordinates. If he were placed in the martial arts world, he would be a first-class hero.
"Spring and Autumn" written by Zuo Qiuming records the historical stories between various countries in the Spring and Autumn Period. Lantian didn't know much about this complicated history, and because there were no entertainment items in his time, he read it with gusto while holding the book.
As for Lu Lingqi, he didn't notice it when she arrived.
"Lan Ziyu, are you really reading?"
Lan Tian looked up and saw the same sassy Lu Lingqi, so he put down the slip and stood up to say hello, "Miss Lu, General Gao."
Lu Lingqi casually picked up a bamboo slip on the stool, opened it and looked at it for a few times, and then wondered: "Historians' books are boring and boring. Ziyu, you read it so seriously. Are you really a scholar? Why didn't you ask someone to give you a talented person?"
In this era, there was no imperial examination, but the examination system was implemented. The so-called fragrance of wine is also afraid of deep alleys. If grassroots scholars want to get ahead, besides packaging themselves, the most convenient way is to find someone to hug them.
"Oh, how can I be a talented person? I'm just passing the time. Is Miss Lu here to pick grapes again today?" Lan Tian said with a smile, because there is still some stock on the grape rack.
"Do you think I'm that greedy? This is a book for you, General Gao."
As soon as Lu Lingqi finished her words, Gao Shun took off a large cloth bag from his horse and unfolded it to see that there were dozens of bamboo slips.
"What kind of book is this?" Lan Tian picked up a volume at random, and he was immediately confused.
"Mr. Gongtai, what kind of Wei Laozi is this? Anyway, take your time and take a look..." Lu Lingqi said vaguely.
"Miss, it's "Wei Liao Zi", which is a piece of art of war during the Warring States Period." Although Gao Shun has never read it, this art of war is still quite famous in the military.
It's like most people have never attended Peking University or Tsinghua University, but as long as someone mentions these two names, they know it is an institution of higher learning.
"Yes, yes, it's Wei Liaozi, I got it mixed up." Lu Lingqi added.
A military book? Just read it as a casual book.
"Thank you very much. In fact, this book should be given to General Gao." Lan Tian said.
Gao Shun said calmly: "I can charge into battle, but it really gives me a headache to read. Master, please don't be polite. Mr. Gongtai was very reluctant to give up just now."
Chen Gongtai? That is also a character.
Lan Tian moved stools from home and made two cups of chrysanthemum tea to invite the two of them to sit down. In this era of scarcity of supplies, ordinary people couldn't bring out fruits and vegetables to entertain guests. Fortunately, there were still some grapes on the shelf.
"Take a moment, I'll go wash the grapes." Lantian picked two bunches and said.
"Miss, this book has been delivered, we'd better go back..."
"General Gao, I know there is nothing going on in your camp today, so just play here for a while." Lu Lingqi said before she could speak.
Lu Bu fought in various places. He, Ding Yuan, Dong Zhuo, defected to Yuan Shao, and fought against Cao Cao. Lu Lingqi followed him around. When he escaped from Chang'an, he was separated for a while. This girl's childhood was actually not stable. This is not good.
It is easy to meet an interesting young man, and the innocence in her heart is instantly released.
"Since you are watching "Spring and Autumn", tell us a little bit about it, so that everyone will be fine today." Lu Lingqi took a sip of chrysanthemum tea and said.
"Didn't you say that history books are boring?" Lan Tian asked doubtfully.
"Watching it by myself is boring, but if I listen to other people telling stories, I can still listen," Lu Lingqi said.
Telling stories? This cannot be read according to the original text. Historians cherish words like gold, and the words recorded on the bamboo slips are concise and concise. The story must be unfolded to make it vivid.
Lan Tian nodded, then found a few stories that he thought were familiar to him in the bamboo slips, then unfolded the slips and slowly said: "The following story is called Cao GUI's Debate. It is said that Cao GUI and Lu Zhuang Gong were riding in a chariot, and they were fighting in the long spoon.
The local area fought against the Qi army..."
"One rush of strength, then another failure, three times exhaustion? Does this sentence originally come from "Spring and Autumn"? I often hear my father and others talk about it, General Gao, don't you think so?" Lu Lingqi said in surprise.
"Although I know this phrase well, I don't know it comes from "Spring and Autumn"..." Gao Shun nodded and said.
"Isn't "Spring and Autumn" a history book? Why does it also contain military tactics?" Lu Lingqi asked in confusion.
"If you don't believe it, just take it and read it. Classic ancient books often contain profound truths. They are like beautiful jade, buried deep in the soil. You need to dig hard to find it." After Lan Tian finished speaking, he handed over the bamboo slips in his hand.
past.
Lu Lingqi took it and looked at it. Sure enough, there was such a sentence on it. Then she gave it back to Lantian and said: "There are only a few words in this book, but Ziyu's words are not as interesting as what you said. I'd better listen to you and come up with another one."
"Ahem, then the next story is called Zheng Burke and Duan Yuyan..."
The story in Zuo Zhuan was brief. After Lan Tian finished translating it in vernacular, Lu Lingqi fell into deep thought. After a while, she said: "It turns out that Duke Zheng Zhuang was not a perfect person. General Gao, what do you think of Ziyu's story?"
"Mr. Ziyu's tongue is like a lotus. Gao has never heard such plain words. If historians write like this, I can understand it..." Gao Shun said that Mr. Gao Shun no longer regarded Lantian as
A farm boy comes to see it.
"You are quite good at telling stories, but they are a bit short and weak..." Lu Lingqi sighed.
Lan Tianxin said that readers who speak well and are good-looking usually compliment me like this...
"Spring and Autumn" are all short stories like this. If you want to listen to longer ones, they can only be novels..." Lan Tian said half-heartedly, where did the novels of this era come from?
"Novel? What novel?" Lu Lingqi asked.
"Ahem, it's just a made-up story..." Lan Tian replied.
"I see that you are very confident. You must know the fabricated stories, right? Tell us one." Lu Lingqi said sincerely.
Can I live without it? In Lantian's original world, in addition to the four well-known masterpieces, there were also martial arts novels such as Jin Guliang and Wenhuang, as well as countless online novels with various themes.
Although Lan Tian is a graduate student at the Agricultural University, he also likes to kill time with stories and novels. He still remembers the basic plots of the Four Great Classics and Jin Yong's novels.
How about I tell this girl about the Romance of the Three Kingdoms?
Lantian thought for a long time, and finally chose the hero of the Condor Shooting to tell the story. The magnificent world of martial arts and the righteous national complex should make Lu Qiling have endless aftertaste, right?
"Ahem." Lan Tian cleared his throat, stood up and assumed the posture of a storyteller, and then said slowly: "What I am going to tell you next is called The Legend of the Condor Heroes, and the story will be told from Niujia Village outside Lin'an on the Qiantang River.
