Chapter 191
Using etiquette to regulate and guide war is a characteristic of the Spring and Autumn Period. Although it makes people laugh, it also has a unique background.
Seeing that Lan Yuan and Lan Ji didn't take it seriously, Lan Tian continued to educate and said: "The princes in that era had the same clan and surname, and the relationship between them was either a country of brothers or a country of nephews and uncles with in-laws, just like yours. The two brothers wrestled just now, as long as everyone abides by the rules, they can keep playing."
"Then what happened next?" Lan Yuan asked.
"Someone broke the rules of etiquette, and those who followed the rules found that they were at a disadvantage and gradually stopped obeying, and then entered the Warring States Period." Lan Tian replied.
When Lan Tian said this, the two brothers seemed to realize something.
Lan Tian urged the two of them: "Rules and music are now collapsing. Brothers can kill each other for the sake of power and status. There are two brothers in one life. There will be no future in this life. You two should take this as a warning."
Lan Yuan seemed to understand something, he patted Lan Ji on the shoulder and said, "No matter how the world changes in the future, brother, I will always protect you."
"Hmph, it's not certain who will protect who." Lan Ji pouted.
"Father, it's still interesting for you to tell stories. Tell us some more." Lan Yuan looked at Lan Tian with watery eyes.
Lan Tian saw Lu Lingqi walking back, and he pointed to the open space behind: "No matter what you do, you must know how to control yourself. Think about the story you just told, and teach you how to play a new game for my father."
"New game?" Lan Yuan and Lan Ji were overjoyed.
"Well, let's play some warm games in winter. Shi Zai, you win by crossing one leg like me, and knocking the opponent down by hopping on one foot." Lan Tian asked Deng Ai to demonstrate cockfighting with him.
"Wei." Deng Ai followed Lan Tian's example and showed him how to fight a cock.
Lan Yuan and Lan Ji had a lot of fun watching it, and they learned it decently, and then happily started to practice each other.
"Husband, have you taught the children new ways to play again?" Lu Lingqi and two maidservants came over, holding boiled wine and Lantian's favorite fried beans in their hands.
"Well, we need to do more activities in winter. Fortunately, Yuan'er and Ji'er can be company, but it's difficult for Adou to play in Jiangling." Lan Tian shook his head.
Lu Lingqi poured a cup of hot wine for Lan Tian, and said with a smile: "Adou is not as active as they are. It's cold today, and I'm probably warming up with Sister Gan inside the house."
"A Dou needs someone to spur and encourage him. It's not good to just play blindly. I'll write a letter to tell Sister later." Lan Tian picked up a fried bean and threw it into his mouth, chewing it crunchy.
"The last time I went to Jiangling, my sister was urging Adou to recite the thousand-character prose. He is still so young, so he can't ask too much." Lu Lingqi shook her head.
Lan Tian smiled and pointed at her, "Your aunt only knows that you love A Dou, why do your two sons demand hard training every day?"
Lu Lingqi said seriously: "Can it be the same? A Dou is the eldest son, Yuan'er and Ji'er must practice their skills well."
"Okay." Lan Tian gave her a thumbs up.
Lu Lingqi knew that this was Lan Tian's gesture of praise, and just as she was about to have a drink with him in the porch, her two sons came over noisily again.
The two brothers both wanted to act like a baby in front of Lan Tian, but when they saw Lu Lingqi's sharp eyes, they became cautious again.
"What's wrong?" Lu Lingqi frowned and asked.
Lan Yuan quickly said: "Father just said the rules of cockfighting, saying that you have to knock the opponent down with your knees to win. Brother Ji always kneels me."
Lan Ji argued: "I'm a little shorter than you, so if I don't stand up, I'll lose? My father said just now that you can be flexible."
"Ji'er is right this time. Cockfighting can be about strategy. Not only can you push your knees from bottom to top, but you can also jump up and press down," Lan Tian said with a smile.
Lan Yuan was not angry but happy, "I see, Brother Ji, let's come again."
"I don't want to play now, why don't father teach me a game again?" Lan Ji's small eyes moved, and he directly rejected Lan Yuan.
Lan Tian slapped his thigh and stood up, and then called Deng Ai to demonstrate jumping goats. He played these games when he was a child. He remembered that they were played after class in winter. The boys in the class liked to play these games. There was no heating in the school. equipment, it will be warmer when moving.
Deng Ai bent over, Lan Tian took off his heavy robe, and after a few meters of run-up, he lightly used his hands on his back for strength, and then jumped over.
"This is fun." Lan Ji clapped his hands and said.
"Father, what are the rules for this jumping goat?" Lan Yuan asked.
Lan Tian introduced while demonstrating: "Jumping a goat is a test of agility. The focus is on the back and shoulders. If you can't jump over it, you will lose."
"Can we only play together?" Lan Yuan pointed to Lan Ji and asked again.
Lan Tian looked at Deng Ai and said with a smile: "Shi Zai and I can also be goats, it depends on whether you can jump over it."
"Then I will jump on my father's goat first." Lan Ji said.
"Okay, then come on."
Considering that the two children are not tall, Lan Tian deliberately bent his legs, making the whole 'goat' appear very short.
Lan Ji imitated Lan Tian's run-up, then jumped forward, and easily jumped behind him, and Lan Yuan also easily completed the jump by drawing a gourd.
Although the two little guys are quite agile, but because they are not tall enough, they can only stop and jump on their backs. In the end, the two of them can only practice alone if they want to jump shoulders.
Since Lan Tian became the prefect of Lingling, he was too busy with government and military affairs, so the whole family didn't have much time to play together like this, and Lu Lingqi watched happily from the side.
"Husband, I want to jump the goat too." Lu Lingqi stood up and put her hands behind her back. Her girlish movements were like meeting each other outside Xiaopei City for the first time.
"Okay, do you want to jump back or shoulder?" Lan Tian asked.
"What do you think? Of course it's shoulder jumping, I know martial arts." Lu Lingqi smiled, narrowing her eyes into two curved crescents.
Lan Tian turned his back and lowered his head slightly, only feeling a gust of wind coming from behind, his shoulders were lightly tapped, and Lu Lingqi, who was wearing a tiger fur fur, jumped over.
The movements are clean and neat, and the body is still light.
Looking at Lu Lingqi who was smiling like a flower, four words appeared in Lan Tian's mind: Hungry tigers attack sheep.
After exercising for a while, the body gradually warmed up, and the two went back to the porch to have a drink.
At first, Lantian was still smiling, but when he suddenly thought of the changes in Jiaozhou, a ray of sadness appeared on his face again.
Lan Tian usually does things with ease, and Lu Lingqi seldom sees him with a sad face, so she asked with concern: "What's your husband's troubles?"
"Because of the accident in Nanhai County, I heard that Shiwu was in good health, so it is too strange to die now. Although the possibility is very small, I am still worried that Sun Quan will send troops to Jiaozhou." Lan Tian explained.
Lu Lingqi comforted: "The soldiers will block the water and cover it with soil. My husband has been planning to hand over the state for a long time. If Sun Quan really dares to come and grab it, let Gao Boping lead the trapped army to fight."
Lan Tian shook his head and said, "If it's so simple, why would I be bothered? My brother-in-law and Sun Quan have made an agreement."
