Jiang Wei originally thought that Deng Ai would be disappointed, but unexpectedly the other party smiled openly and said, "Only a worldly genius like my master can teach the two heroes Boyang and Zhongling. I am lucky enough to be with them. It is a blessing in this life."

"Brother Shizai is not simple either." Jiang Wei smiled and nodded.

"My husband once told me that the world is not complete yet and there is no absolute fairness in the world. If you have a shallow foundation, you should work harder than others because diligence can make up for your weakness." Deng Ai's expression was solemn.

"General Lan said it well. With such a father who is always ready to listen to his teachings, no wonder his son is so outstanding..." Jiang Wei lamented that his father died early, and the difficult life of orphans and widowed mothers is like a person knowing whether the water is warm or not.

Seeing this, Deng Ai shook his head slightly: "Boyue doesn't know something. It's not easy to be your husband's son. Your husband's harshness towards them is far more severe than mine."

Jiang Wei nodded in affirmation: "I have also heard from General Zhang that Lan Zhongling killed a general in the Jingzhou formation before, and General Lan erased his military exploits and forcibly suppressed his rapid rise to fame. This is contrary to the behavior of other fathers...

"

"My husband often said, 'A sharp knife breaks easily, but a long time will make a difference.' After years of working in the fields, I have gradually come to understand his painstaking efforts. A solid foundation is really important."

"Brother Shi Zai showed great admiration when he mentioned General Lan. Can you introduce him to me if you have the opportunity in the future?"

After hearing this, Deng Ai shook his head slightly and did not answer Jiang Wei's question. This made Jiang Wei a little embarrassed, so he asked, "Brother Shizai is not willing?"

"Bo Yue was recommended to General Zhang by your husband, do you think you still need me to introduce him to you?" Deng Ai said with a slight smile.

"Uh... I actually forgot about this..." Jiang Wei scratched his head and smiled. He then pointed to the wooden box on the shelf in an attempt to resolve the embarrassment in front of him. "There are many replies from General Lan. Can Brother Shizai give them to me?"

Open your eyes? I’m so curious about General Lan.”

Jiang Wei's request made Deng Ai a little embarrassed, because he asked Lan Tian for many tactics to capture Yongliang, and Lan Tian also gave instructions in the replies one by one. If Jiang Wei accidentally read it, Deng Ai was worried that the news would spread to Wei.

The main reason for leaving the country was that Jiang Wei's visit was too short and he had not yet fully won Deng Ai's trust.

"Uh... many of them are personal questions. How about I choose two for you?" Deng Ai asked tentatively.

Personal question? Deng Ai has not yet married at the age of twenty-five. Could he be waiting for Lantian to arrange it for him? Thinking of this, Jiang Wei smiled and said, "Okay, Brother Shizai can choose one."

When Deng Ai heard this, he turned around and rummaged through the wooden box. Jiang Wei saw that the box was filled with letters. He didn't know how many letters there were, but they were about Deng Ai's marriage.

It is said that Lantian was in a high position at this time and there were many people who wanted to marry Deng Ai. However, Deng Ai first entered the field in Shu at a very young age. He walked in the streets every day and kept a low profile. In addition, Lantian was disliked by the gentry for running a school in Jiaozhou.

This puts many people off; in addition, the eldest son of Lan Tian marries Liu Bei's daughter, and the second son is the son-in-law appointed by Guan Yu. Such a high-profile starting point of the Lan family makes even more interested people afraid to approach.

Li Yang once approached Lantian about this matter, saying that Deng Ai was getting older and if there was really no suitable woman to marry, he could find a farm girl for Deng Ai in Xindengzhuang.

Lan Tian communicated with Deng Ai in a letter. In his reply, Deng Ai not only stated that marriage matters should be decided by teachers, but also said that he was not in a hurry if he didn't have a wife. He also cited the example of Zhao Yunian who only married in his late forties.

Lan Tian originally had the idea of ​​freedom in marriage and love, and also knew the importance of being well-matched. He thought that Deng Ai would become famous sooner or later, and it would not be too late for him to bring it up in a few years, so he postponed the matter.

When Deng Ai was looking for letters, he didn't know that Jiang Wei was thinking so far. After sorting through more than a dozen letters, he finally selected two and handed them over.

Both letters were related to farming. In the letter, Lan Tian answered questions about pest control, special soil composting, etc. Jiang Wei looked at it in confusion and thought to himself that General Lan answered in such detail. Could it be that farming is what he is best at?

land?

Jiang Wei stayed in Deng Ai's study for a while, and finally borrowed a textbook from Guangzhou Academy, and then returned to his room to read. Deng Ai took out a pen and paper and prepared to write a letter to Lan Tian in March.

"Sir, in the third month of Mianyang, the spring rain is about to come, and the fields are being plowed again... I have a guest named Jiang Wei, and I would like to tell you what you recommend, and I will leave it to my disciple... I can't express my thoughts, and I pray that you will cherish it."

After several pages of eloquent writing, Deng Ai always had endless things to say. In the end, he resolutely stopped writing because he was afraid that too many questions would disturb Lantian. After all, he shouldered the military and political affairs of a state and a half and had too many things to deal with.

The next day, a special courier went to Nanzheng and was handed over to the postman of the Hanzhong Trading Company (the contact point of the Jiaozhou Chamber of Commerce). The letter would follow the trading company's regular cargo ships along the Han River to the Yangtze River, Xiang River, Yushui, and finally arrived at Panyu Wharf.

.

When Deng Ai's family letter arrived at the Jiaozhou Chamber of Commerce, it was already late March and early April. The people of Guangzhou had completely said goodbye to winter. People in the streets and alleys took off their winter clothes and embraced the blooming spring with a smile.

Lantian went to inspect the construction site of the military zone in the morning. The teaching buildings, dormitories, training grounds, etc. of the Huben Martial Arts Hall are now basically in place. The craftsmen are currently painting the wood to prevent corrosion, and the internal roads and tree transplants are being carried out simultaneously. It is expected that there will be more

In two to three months, the Huben Martial Arts Hall will be officially completed.

"I don't know if Boping and the others can come back in time. There should be some new news from Song Chen, right?" Lan Tian sat in the back hall of the main hall and muttered to himself, tapping his fingers on the table uncontrollably.

Gao Shun took Lan Yuan on an expedition in mid-February, and it has been a month and a half now. As the saying goes, mothers are worried when their children travel thousands of miles, and Lan Tian's father is no exception.

Lantian is accustomed to using intelligence to deploy wars, so during Gao Shun's expedition to Linyi State, there were sentries on land and water to cooperate in sending back battle reports from the front. The Jiaozhou Chamber of Commerce was responsible for sorting and summarizing. Song Chen would report every ten days, and today is the new one

Time node.

Dong Dong Dong, Gao Yuan knocked on the palace door and reported: "Sir, President Song is here."

"Please come in quickly." Lan Tian sat upright.

"Sir." Song Chen stepped into the palace door, clasped his fists and saluted Lan Tian, ​​then took out three letters from his arms and respectfully presented them on the table.

"So many today?" Lan Tian frowned, not knowing which envelope to open first.

Song Chen pointed to the letter on the left and explained: "The letter on the far left was delivered by Jiangdong yesterday, the letter in the middle was also delivered from Jiaozhi yesterday, and the final letter has been decrypted and sorted out. The letter on the far right was delivered by Hanzhong Trading Company this morning. Deng

The general's letters are usually not encrypted, so they are sent to you together."

Lantian nodded slightly. In his original world, if he faced several tasks at the same time, he would usually choose the order of execution based on priority.

Deng Ai is currently in the field in Mianyang, and his letters are considered regular exchanges. Lantian regards his letter as a reprieve; Gao Shun is currently in the preparation stage for entering the army, and is completely controllable in the Jiaozhou area. Lantian regards Jiaozhi's letter as important.

; Hu Ke’s letter was most likely about a difficult decision, so Lan Tian regarded Jiang Dong’s letter as urgent.
