Traveling through the mountains and fields to be leisurely

Chapter 134
"Father--"

An Zhiyuan, who raised his head while calling his father, saw his father on the opposite chair with an unbelievable expression on his face, which seemed a little unbelievable, a little appreciative, and a little bit fierce. Look carefully, it seems that there is no expression.

"Father, what's the matter? What did the little basket letter say?"

The little girl must have written something in the letter, otherwise her father would not have such an expression, but what could she write to her father, An Zhiyuan was even more curious, and wished he could grab the letter and read it right away, but he knew it was Impossible, if his father doesn't want to tell him, then this letter can only be a secret. When he came to the barracks, the first thing he learned was the secrecy system in the army. Even if he is a son, he must be strict. Obeyed, the military order is like a mountain and cannot be desecrated,
"I didn't write anything, just some greetings. The little girl is quite polite."

General An obviously laughed insincerely, and An Zhiyuan thought to himself, sure enough, he will not see this letter anymore, but there will always be a day when he will know, and when he sees the little girl, he must let her tell him, What was written in this letter that I couldn't see?
"What did you call me?"

General An remembered that his son interrupted his train of thought just now because he had something to do.

"It was the little basket who said in the letter that she thought of a way to bake biscuits. It's very simple, just build a simple earthen stove, but it's deeper, and weld a square iron basin with a compartment, right? Easy? I think we can try."

An Zhiyuan had a proud expression on his face,

"Well, you can try."

General An readily agreed, as if Lan Lingxue's method would definitely work,

"What else did she say in the letter?"

Regarding General An's interest in the content of the letter, An Zhiyuan didn't think too deeply about it. He only thought it was his father who cared about him.

"She also said, let me prepare some potions for you and the master, so that you can remember to drink a cup every day. There are only benefits and no harm."

"Well, then you prepare it for me, and I will enjoy the blessing of my son."

It's the daughter-in-law's blessing, An Zhiyuan secretly corrected it in his heart.

After talking to his son for a while, General An told him to go back to rest, turned around and ordered the guards outside the gate to invite Lin Zihao, Deputy General Lin. He was still a little uncertain and wanted to hear Zihao's opinion, but Looking at the letter, this girl really impressed him,
"General An!"

Soon, Lin Zihao's voice came from outside the door,

"Come in."

Lifting the curtain and pushing the door in one go, Lin Zihao is always so brisk, this kind of whiny character is very much liked by General An,
"I have a letter here, please read it first."

General An handed the letter in his hand to Lin Zihao, wanting him to read the letter, and then study with him how reliable the letter is. He couldn't trust a girl who was just 12 years old. feel,

"Letter from Little Basket? To the General?"

Looking at the words on the letter, it was too delicate, it must not be written by a man, Lin Zihao subconsciously read the signature first, Lan Lingxue, this surprised him.

"Who sent the letter, and how did it get into your hands?"

Lin Zihao held up the letter, with doubts,

"Don't worry about who sent the letter, just read the content first, I'm not sure."

General An did not hide his thoughts about his beloved general,
"I didn't expect the little girl's handwriting to be so well written."

Lin Zihao thought that when he left, Lan Lingxue only occasionally practiced calligraphy with a small hoe, ink, paper and inkstone. Most of the time, she practiced with carbon sticks, although she always said that calligraphy must be practiced. You need to use a brush, otherwise you won’t be able to build a good foundation, and your handwriting will be in vain. So Xiao Hoe has been using a brush to dip in ink since he started learning calligraphy. On the contrary, she herself is reluctant to use pen, ink and white paper, so she keeps using it. carbon practice handwriting,

"Didn't she know how to write before?"

Looking at the font, it doesn't look like it's just learned, and the words and sentences are very smooth. Although it's mostly vernacular, it's not stagnant when reading, as if the letter should be written like her.

"It's not that she can't write, but her family is poor and can't afford paper and pens, so she can't practice. She has always practiced with carbon strips on slate or wooden boards, or used the paper her brother had written, and put carbon strips on it. Writing, however, is so difficult and the handwriting cannot be seen, but she said that she just wanted to test the feel of the paper, not to practice calligraphy on it, anyway, no matter what she did, it always made sense."

That little girl always gives people so many surprises and surprises, and, no matter how miraculous things happen to her, Lin Zihao is not surprised.

"You mean, when you and Zhiyuan came to the border, she still couldn't write?"

General An took the letter. The handwriting on the letter was neat and correct, very formal lower case. In such a short period of time, he was able to practice the handwriting so well. Could it be that he is really talented?
"It's not that girl Lan can't write, but she can't write with a brush. She always said that the brush is soft and difficult to master. She prefers hard-tipped calligraphy. I also asked her, what is hard-tipped calligraphy? She said She took a carbon stick and wrote something on the paper for me, or drew a picture or something, anyway, she used the carbon stick very well, and the writing was beautiful."

Lin Zihao's brows and eyes twitched as he thought of the little girl holding the charcoal sticks to write, and then showing off to himself a little self-satisfied.

"It looks like you like her a lot?"

Seeing Lin Zihao's loving and pitying expression, General An couldn't think of what kind of child he was that could make a big man with a rough personality like him so much.
"It's not that I like her very much, it's that we all like her. As long as people who know her, there are very few people who don't like her. Wow, she is a girl. Although she is young, she acts like an adult when she does things No matter how old or young you are, as long as you have been in contact with her, you will be infected by her vitality, and you will feel that life has become better."

Will there be such a person?Or a 12-year-old girl?General An's curiosity was also completely aroused by Lin Zihao, holding Xin's hand, he couldn't help but become solemn,

"Hey, Zihao, you should read the letter first. After hearing what you said, I should really think about what she said in this letter."

Lin Zihao took the letter, and before he read it, he said to General An,

"If Xiao Lanzi said it, then you just have to do what she wants. If she can say it, then she has considered it. I never said no to what she said."

Lin Zihao's words really surprised General An. Others don't know Lin Zihao, but he does. He is a very upright and stubborn person. Most people can't veto what he believes in. If he thinks it is right, he will He will go forward indomitably. If he thinks it is wrong, even if it is himself, he has to give a legitimate reason before he is willing to be convinced. If such a person trusts a person completely, then this person is really powerful. If you say The other party was a 12-year-old girl, and General An couldn't believe it, because he knew better how firm Lin Zihao's heart was. If it weren't for such a firm and forbearing character, he wouldn't have grown up from a small soldier to a short-term... In just a few years, he has been promoted to be the deputy general by his side all the way. Zhang Fengshou has been with him for almost 20 years. Up to now, he is only a deputy. There are still a few steps to go before the deputy general.

"That's why you trust her?"

"Of course, Miss Lan is very insightful. General, please don't treat her like an ordinary little girl. Her thoughts are definitely beyond your imagination."

General An raised his hand, signaling him to finish reading the letter first, Lin Zihao stopped talking nonsense, and looked down at Lan Lingxue's letter seriously.

In the letter, Lan Lingxue told how the second prince met through shopkeeper Meng, how the second prince used Zhuangzi to lure her into a partnership with him, how she refused the profits outside the capital, and how she was discovered After receiving the horse and cart sent by General An, how did the second prince insist on making friends with Shizi An? In the end, she concluded that the reason why she wrote the matter so clearly was to let General An judge for himself whether the second prince was What kind of intentions does this person have, is he really serving the country and the people, or does he just want to use the border affairs to achieve his own goals, and let General An not trust the second prince too much, and from her short-term In the contact with each other, the second prince is a moody person. If he is really dedicated to the public, it is fine. If his selfishness is greater than the public one, you must be careful that he is ruthless. Lan Lingxue did not mention it bluntly in the letter that the second prince has a superior position. However, if she can directly reject profits outside the capital, then she should have guessed what the second prince is thinking. This is what surprised General An the most. It is also because of this that General An can't make up his mind, do you believe her?Maybe she doesn't have this vision, and if she is misled, the consequences will be very serious.

"General An, what are you worried about?"

After Lin Zihao finished reading the letter, his expression became very serious.

"Are you afraid that Xiao Lanzi's words are too one-sided, or are you afraid that she will mislead you?"

For Lin Zihao's political sensitivity, General An still appreciates it very much. If he is just a reckless man, he will not be able to get his current status.
"Yes, because I don't know this little girl well, so I don't dare to trust her completely. You have more contact with her, and you know her personality better than me. In your opinion, how credible is her words? "

"hundred percent."

The answer without the slightest hesitation made General An unable to answer for a long time.

"Are you sure?"

General An calmed down for a while before asking,

"I'm sure, General, look..."

Lin Zihao pointed to the first half of the letter,
"Little basket is probably afraid that you think too much. She didn't express her own opinion in the letter. She just wrote down the whole thing in a straightforward manner. She should be afraid that it will affect your judgment. The war gave rise to wrong guidance, and at the end, based on her brief contact, she analyzed the second prince's behavior, and she just wanted to remind you that it is about the safety of the people and yourself, and she hopes you will be cautious."
