Lantian was happy to have Lin'er, and all the officials from Linwu County, including the people of Xindengzhuang, came to congratulate him. He asked people to tidy up the yard and prepare melons and fruits for the guests.
After Liu Bei and others arrived, the rest took advantage of the situation and left.
Lan Tian greeted everyone and then invited them into the hall to have tea.
Liu Bei, Zhang Fei and others all sat down, with Gao Shun, Gan Ning and others accompanying them. Gan Qian went into the inner room to talk to Lu Lingqi, and then took the Lan Yuan out for everyone to see.
"This boy is similar to Miss Lu. He will definitely be brave and extraordinary in the future." Liu Bei smiled upon seeing this.
"Ziyu, when he is older, I will teach him martial arts." Zhang Fei said, patting his chest.
Lan Tian smiled and said nothing, but Gao Shun on the side said: "If you don't bother General Zhang with this matter, I will teach you everything you have to do."
Gao Shun's character was so unpleasant, but Zhang Fei kept a dark face and said nothing. Although he had a rough temper, he still respected people with real abilities.
Just when the situation was awkward, a snapping sound suddenly came from the backyard.
Zhang Fei has a good ear, and he wonders who can whip his whip so loudly?
Zhuge Liang immediately changed the topic and asked: "Ziyu is..."
Everyone cast doubtful glances at Lan Tian. Could it be that this guy's followers also like to whip others?
Lan Tian smiled and said, "It's Deng Fan playing in the backyard."
"That kid looks quite smart. How can he learn such a way to have fun? How can he avoid causing big trouble in the future?" As Liu Bei spoke, he looked at Zhang Fei intentionally or unintentionally, thinking that not everyone has the courage to be virtuous.
Zhang Fei was shocked and said, "Brother, just say what you want, what do you want me to do?"
Lan Tian said doubtfully: "Isn't it just a spinning top? Is it so serious?"
"Gyro?" Zhuge Liang scratched his head after hearing this.
Lan Tian stood up and said, "You will know after you take a look with me."
Everyone followed Lantian to the backyard, where there were small wooden horses, wooden swords and other objects.
There were no toys for sale in this era. They were all made by Lantian craftsmen and planned to be played by his son. In the past few days, Deng Fan came to visit with Li Yang, so he started to play with them first.
Deng Fan picked up the whip and whipped the spinning top with all his heart, and suddenly found that these big shots were looking at him.
He thought he had made some mistake, so he put his hands behind his back and asked: "Sir, I...played...wasn't it right?"
Lan Tian smiled and shook his head.
At this time, the top had stopped without being whipped. Zhuge Liang saw that the top of the wooden top was round and the bottom was pointed, and he immediately understood the principle.
Zhuge Liang asked: "Who made this top?"
Deng Fan glanced at Lan Tian and replied: "Mr. asked someone to do it..."
"Ziyu has really fantastic ideas." Zhuge Liang laughed.
"They are all children's playthings. I thought there was something wrong with them." Lan Tian looked confused.
"This thing is very wonderful, you can continue to play." Zhuge Liang said to Deng Fan.
"Oh, okay..." Deng Fan looked at Lan Tian again, then wrapped a cloth band around the top and pulled it outward. The top began to spin on the ground, and the whip continued to whip without stopping.
Upon seeing this, Liu Bei praised: "Such a simple toy can make childhood more fun. Ziyu, you are so thoughtful."
"Why don't Yide try it too?" Zhuge Liang suggested.
Zhang Fei pointed at himself and asked in surprise: "The military advisor asked me to play?"
"Let's see if you can." Zhuge Liang said something provocative.
"The military advisor looked down upon me, Lao Zhang. How can I, a child, know how to do it?" Zhang Fei walked over and gave it a try. He failed twice at first, but he quickly mastered it and was able to swing the whip in a decent manner.
At this time, Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang, and Gao Shun couldn't help laughing.
"Why are you laughing at me?" Zhang Fei was speechless.
Liu Bei: "Ziyu can make a bigger one and give it to Yide. When he wants to whip the soldiers in the future, he can replace it with this one."
Lan Tian nodded in agreement, thinking that if this gadget could save Zhang Fei from trouble, it would be a great merit.
While Zhang Fei was playing with the spinning top, Lan Yuan suddenly started crying. Gan Qian was already a mother and was very experienced, so she took him into the inner room and let Lu Lingqi breastfeed him.
Zhang Fei was left playing with Deng Fan in the backyard, and they returned to the front hall to drink tea and talk.
"Has this child been given a name? Kong Ming is a man of great talent, so why not take advantage of the fact that the military advisor is here to ask for a good name?" Liu Bei suggested.
Zhuge Liang hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Ziyu's talent is no less than that of Liang, my lord is really overly praised."
"Sir, the young master has been named." Gao Shun interrupted.
"What's the name?" Liu Bei asked hurriedly.
"The child's name is Yuan, the Yuan of Xuanyuan." Lan Tian replied.
"What a good name." Zhuge Liang nodded and affirmed.
After everyone complimented him, Lan Tian raised his hands and said, "Before Yuan'er can be crowned with the crown, I have to trouble my military advisor to tell him my name."
Zhuge Liang pointed at Lan Tian and said: "Ziyu is good at everything but is too modest. Your article is world-class, so why do you need to express it in words?"
"The article is world-famous? Where do you start talking about it?" Lan Tian asked in confusion.
Zhuge Liang smiled faintly, and then said to Liu Bei: "My lord, please take advantage of the autumn wind to have a look."
Lantian understood at this moment that the most famous article in Kong Ming's mouth was this poem, Hanyao Fu that he had recited from later generations.
Zhuge Liang picked up the poem Autumn Wind and read it aloud: "The sky is unpredictable, and people are prone to misfortune and fortune. A centipede with hundreds of legs cannot move as fast as a snake..."
Gao Shun and Gan Ning both heard it for the first time. This poem is catchy and catchy, with far-reaching metaphors. It refers to time and destiny, and it is explained in an easy-to-understand manner.
Everyone has experienced troughs, and everyone has experienced unmet talents. After listening to Qiu Feng Fu, the two of them suddenly felt that the time of frustration was nothing, and instead admired Lan Tian even more.
Liu Bei sighed: "I have been preparing for half my life in the army, and I have been wandering around a lot. Fortunately, I have Ziyu to write poems and encourage me. Whenever I am in trouble, I will take it out and recite it. It is really good medicine."
"Liang Dang copied an introspection, but why is there a blank here?" Zhuge Liang said, pointing to the description of the position between Yan Ying and Xiang Yu.
This was originally a compliment to Zhuge Liang. At that time, Liu Bei had not invited him to come out, so Lantian deliberately left it vacant, intending to make up for it when he had the opportunity in the future.
Upon seeing this, Lan Tian asked someone to get pen and ink, and then wrote on the original silk: Kong Ming lived in a thatched cottage and could be a military advisor to the Yan and Han Dynasties.
Zhuge Liang was stunned after seeing this. Lantian actually compared him with Zhang Liang, Xiao He, Yan Ying, etc. Then he cupped his hands and sighed: "Ziyu, you have praised Liang to the sky..."
Although the second half of Lan Tian's sentence was a bit arrogant, Liu Bei was still overjoyed after reading it, "Yuan Zhi also compared military advisors to Lu Wang and Zhang Liang. This is what the so-called heroes think alike."
After everyone stayed in Linwu for half a day, they returned to Chen County. Lantian had nothing to give as a gift in return, so he asked Li Yang to pick a few baskets of fresh mushrooms. After the fifty trainees were transferred to training, every household of the people who moved from Xinye was built. Once the mushroom house is ready, I will wait for the spring to grow my own mushrooms.
Before leaving, Lan Tian asked the craftsmen to rush to make a few tops, and asked Zhang Fei to take them back directly to relieve his boredom.
Zhuge Liang immediately smiled and said: "This time I come to Wu, it seems that everyone has gained something."
