When Tian Fan rushed home, it was already the end of August, he had made a business trip with Tao Qian and Liu Bei, reported the situation in various places, and he returned to his home after a long absence!

After seeing his parents and listening to the nagging of the old couple, Tian Fan returned to his small courtyard. didn't let anyone report it, he quietly entered the village alone, don't shoot! As soon as I entered the yard, I saw Xiao Liu'er! To be precise, Xiao Liu'er was wearing a maid's costume, lying on a stone bench under a plane tree, with two hands on a delicate little chin, and two eyes staring at the ground, as if she was looking at something interesting! She didn't wear shoes, her two crystal clear little feet shook around mischievously, Tian Fan rolled her eyes, this girl's nerves are big, aren't you afraid of being seen by others? Fortunately, there are usually no men coming in Tian Fan's small courtyard! Tian Fan slowly approached, and finally saw the things that Xiao Liu'er was looking at with relish - two groups of ants fighting! A colony of ants is large and black, but few in number. The other group is small and yellow, but several times more numerous than black ants! Now the two piles of ants are fighting inseparably, and the ground is littered with dead ant corpses!

Tian Fan's head was numb when he saw it! This little girl is really not small, and she is not afraid? Probably sensing that someone was coming, Xiao Liu'er suddenly turned his head. Seeing that it was Tian Fan, she let out a happy cry and got up with her hands and feet. But the stone bench was too narrow, she didn't hold any of them, and fell to the ground with an exclamation! Thanks to Tian Fan's quick eyes, he picked her up by the waist, otherwise the little girl would have to fall to her heart! Tian Fan picked up the crook of her legs, picked her up horizontally, sat on the stone bench, and said angrily and funny: "You girl! A few ants fight, what's there to see? Even if you want to watch, you can sit and watch, aren't you afraid of the cold stones? Look at you, not only are you lying on your stomach, but you are not wearing shoes! Hehe, I really don't know what to say about you! ”

Xiao Liu'er was held in Tian Fan's arms, blushing a little, and said in the future: "The son has been gone for so many days, people are bored!" Tian Fan smiled and said, "Okay, don't say it, I'm not back?" Let's go back to the house! As he spoke, he picked up a pair of clogs from her, put them on her feet, and then picked her up and said, "Let's go, go back to the house!" Xiao Liu'er lay quietly in his arms, his face was red.

When he arrived at the house, as soon as Xiao Liu'er's feet hit the ground, he immediately began to talk endlessly! The hens in the house are starting to lay eggs, Master Zhang's family in the kitchen has added a daughter, the mare in the stable has given birth to a foal, etc., trivial things, she can hear as much as you want! Tian Fan thought to himself, this girl must be a dumb person in her first life! However, he doesn't hate Xiao Liu'er's endless talking, which makes him feel very warm! Tian Fan has been busy since the beginning of the locust plague, staying at home for two days in the middle, and then more than a month of busyness, he is very tired, listening to these trivial things, he feels very relaxed! What is life? Life is a series of trivialities!

Under Xiao Liu'er's service, Tian Fan took a good bath, and then it was time to eat. At the dinner table, the old man and his mother persuaded him to eat more, and Tian Kun was jealous!

I originally wanted to go to see Mi Zhen, but now it was too late, and besides, I was quite tired, so Tian Fan asked someone to send a letter to Mi Zhen, saying that he would go to see her tomorrow.

Early the next morning, Tian Fan hadn't eaten breakfast yet, and someone came to report that Mi Zhen was here. He said in his heart, it seems that this girl really misses herself! Tian Fan and Xiao Liu'er walked out of the courtyard together, and saw Mi Zhen coming with two maids, Guizhi and Fangcao! Seeing Tian Fan, Mi Zhen smiled and said, "Brother Tian Fan, I'll go to my uncle and aunt to say hello first, and then I'll talk to you!" Tian Fan nodded, this girl who knows the courtesy!

After Mi Zhen finished greeting her future father-in-law and mother-in-law, she came to Tian Fan's room, but heard that Tian Fan was giving Xiao Liu'er and Tian Kun two small points, uh, to be exact, Xiao Liu'er can no longer be regarded as a small one, and the girl is already fourteen years old...... tells the story, it's about "The Legend of the White Snake". …,

Seeing Mi Zhen coming, Tian Fan hurriedly beckoned to her and said, "Zhen'er, sit down, I'll talk about the place where I was interrupted last time!" Fangcao cinnamon branch also sits, you're welcome, I'm not particular here! Mi Zhen nodded and said, "Okay, I didn't finish talking about it last time, I've been thinking about it!" Hehe, this story is really wonderful! Fangcao Guizhi was also polite, nodded and sat down.

Tian Fan continued, the story was very rough, and a long novel was told by him as a novella, but even so, it was told for nearly two hours, and it was called a dry mouth!

After listening to the story, Mi Zhen's eyes were full of brilliance, and she said: "Brother Tian Fan, this story is really exciting, if it can be made into a song and dance, it will definitely be very popular!" ”

Tian Fan was stunned when he heard this, and then slammed his hands, yes, you can make this story into a song and dance drama or a stage play! Not only this story, but also the West Chamber, Liang Zhu, there are many stories in "Liao Zhai", you can do it like this!

Tian Fan was excited, took Mi Zhen's hand and shook it vigorously, and said, "Zhen'er, you are so smart, hahaha, you have thought of an excellent idea for your brother!" Wowha! Mi Zhen made this sudden action blush, looked at Xiao Liu'er and Tian Kun with a weak heart, and glanced at Tian Fan with resentment. Xiao Liu'er, Fangcao and Guizhi all covered their mouths and chuckled, but Tian Kun was coaxing, covering his eyes and shouting again and again: "Brother, brother, I didn't see it, I didn't see anything!" Several people couldn't help but laugh. Tian Fan glared at Tian Kun and said, "Stinky boy! If you don't see it, you don't see it, what are you shouting? Mi Zhen lowered her head lower, and her face was red to the base of her neck!

At this time, Tian Yi strode in, first greeted Mi Zhen, and then said to Tian Fan: "Son, General Liu Xuande is visiting!" ”

Tian Fanxin said that it was really time for Liu Bei to come, Mi Zhen, this girl is too thin-skinned, so let's leave first, it will be embarrassing for her. He pretended to be extremely reluctant and said to Mi Zhen: "Zhen'er, hey, look at this! I'd like to talk to you for a while! Well, you sit here for a while, Xuande Gong is visiting, I have to go and see! Mi Zhen hummed lowly.

Tian Fan said to Xiao Liu'er and Tian Kun again: "You two talk well with Zhen'er, Brother Kun, if you let me know that you are bullying your sister-in-law, I will clean you up when I come back!" Tian Kun stuck out his tongue mischievously.

After cleaning up his appearance a little, Tian Fan walked into the main hall. At a glance, I saw Liu Guanzhang sitting in the guest seat, while the old man Tian Liang accompanied him in the main seat, and they seemed to have a good conversation.

Tian Liang saw Tian Fan coming in, and hurriedly said, "Fan'er, hurry up and greet Xuande, why did you come now?" ”

Liu Bei hurriedly got up, saluted Tian Fan, and said, "Mr. Tian is here!" He turned his head to Mr. Tian and said, "Mr. Tian can't say that, Mr. Tian is talented, and Mr. Tian should be inferior!" Zhang Fei and Guan Yu also stood up and saluted Tian Fan, calling him "Mr. Tian"! Zhang Fei said to Old Man Tian: "My eldest brother is right, Mr. Tian, Mr. Tian is talented, my old Zhang has seen it, so what's the point of waiting?" Second brother, do you think what I said is right? Guan Yu Danfeng's eyes widened slightly, nodded and said: "What the third brother said is reasonable, Mr. Tian doesn't have to be like this, Mr. Tian is worthy of my three brothers!" ”

For Tian Fan's ability, Liu Bei admires it from the bottom of his heart! It's not that he discovered the locust plague, or that he saved hundreds of thousands of victims. The key points are, first, that he discovered a way to prevent locust plagues; Second, his idea of "cash-for-work" is suitable for any natural disaster and military disaster, which is really practical! And a series of methods based on "cash-for-work" to deal with displaced people, with a little tidying, it has become a perfect treatment strategy for displaced people! Third, the epidemic prevention method he proposed has obvious effect from the current point of view! Any of these three things can be solved, which is a great thing! Now that this young man has done it all, how much ability is this? Therefore, Liu Guanzhang sincerely came to ask Tian Fan for help! …,

When Tian Fan heard it, why was it so wrong? The three brothers all said that, is something going to happen? Liu Bei said this, please forgive it, but Zhang Fei and Guan Yu also said so, it seems very weird! Tian Fan hurriedly saluted his father, calling him "father", and then greeted Liu Guanzhang separately. After the ceremony, everyone took their seats, Tian Fan asked Liu Bei and said, "Xuande Gong, you are visiting today, do you have something?" ”

Liu Bei stood up, straightened his clothes, bowed deeply to Tian Fan, and said solemnly: "Since the preparation of the army to serve the imperial court, although there have been repeated setbacks, but I did not dare to give up for a moment, because the world is not peaceful, the people are still suffering, although they have great ambitions, but their qualifications are dull, please don't dislike Mr., go out of the mountain to help prepare for the early restoration of the Han Dynasty, and return the peace of the world." I am ready to grant Mr. the position of military advisor, and I hope that Mr. must agree! And Guan Yu and Zhang Fei also saluted together, and said in unison: "I hope that Mr. must agree!" ”

Tian Fan was frightened, quickly jumped up, waved his hands, and said anxiously: "Xuande Gong, please get up, the two generals please get up, don't be like this, you can't deserve such a big gift from the three!" ”

Zhang Fei shouted: "If Mr. Tian doesn't agree, my three brothers won't get up!" Liu Bei didn't say anything, but it seems that he agrees with Zhang Fei's statement. Tian Fan was sweating in a hurry, these three people were all bigger than him, and they couldn't pull it up! Old Man Tian also persuaded him, and the three of them just smiled at Old Man Tian and didn't get up.

Tian Fan's head is big, what is this called? Isn't this a duck to the shelves? It seems that this brother is relying on himself! But he thought about it, anyway, he also planned to take refuge in Liu Bei, but he hadn't found a suitable opportunity yet, and now this opportunity is quite good, after all, Liu Bei personally came to invite him, and he was considered to have given himself enough face, and he was not afraid of not being reused after taking refuge. He really doesn't like the things that come to the thatched house! So he made up his mind.

Straightening up, Tian Fan solemnly said to Liu Bei and the others: "Xuande Gong, two generals, please get up and listen to what Fan has to say!" Liu Bei saw that Tian Fan's expression was very solemn, straightened up, looked at Tian Fan with a solemn face, and said, "Please teach me!" Guan Zhang and the others also got up and said, "Please teach me!" ”

Tian Fan nodded and said: "Xuande Gong is benevolent and virtuous, the world knows that today, with his weak talents, thanks to Xuande Gong's fancy and entrusted with important tasks, he is grateful, but he is indeed not qualified enough and embarrassed to take on a big responsibility!" ……”

Liu Bei was anxious, and hurriedly saluted and said: "Mr. is talented, be prepared to know it, I hope Mr. will not give up!" Be prepared to treat Mr. with a teacher! ”

Tian Fan hurriedly stopped Liu Bei and said, "Xuande Gong, listen to me!" Anyone who lacks qualifications and is embarrassed by the military advisor, is willing to follow Xuande Gong and make a modest contribution to the revival of the Han Dynasty! ”

Liu Bei happily shook his head to the ground and said, "Mr. Xie will not give up!" Guan Zhang also saluted at the same time and said, "Mr. Xie will not give up!" Liu Bei said again: "Mr. Meng is wrong to love, I am grateful." However, this position of military advisor, please take on the role of Mr.! Mr. Wang agreed! ”

Tian Fan said: "Xuande Gong, it's not that I'm modest, I know how much ability I have, and I really can't afford to be a military advisor!" Please understand! Mr. Xianhe and Mr. Changwen are all talented, and I can't do it, so I can ask them to take responsibility! "Speaking of which, Chen Qun and Jian Yong are not suitable to be military advisors, Chen Qun's ability is manifested in handling internal affairs and selecting talents, while Jian Yong is very eloquent and suitable for being a messenger, but they are more suitable than Tian Fan!

is still the same sentence, Tian Fan has no big skills, he needs to jump out of the circle to see the problem. Just like an NBA player, if you get a salary of $30 million and you can only play at the level of $3 million, then you are a loser, although you are much better than the average person! Liu Xiang is like this, you have filmed so many advertisements and made so much money, but when it comes to the critical time, you don't run away, isn't this nonsense? Someone said that people have a reason, and people are injured! Hurt? Why didn't you say it sooner if it hurts? I don't believe you didn't know you were injured when you got to the ring! …,

Gossip is not mentioned, but let's get down to business.

Liu Bei said with some embarrassment: "Changwen is resident in Pei County, and Yun Chang can't do without him!" Mr. Xianhe said that he wanted Mr. to take on the position of military advisor! ”

Tian Fan thought for a while and said, "Xuande Gong, if not, please ask Mr. Xianhe to take on the position of military advisor first, and then decide when there is a more suitable candidate!" ”

Liu Bei thought about it, and had to say: "What Mr. said is, then it's decided first!" ”

Tian Fan took three steps back, straightened his clothes, bowed solemnly to Liu Bei, and said, "The lord is above, and he will be worshipped!" ”

Liu Bei stepped forward happily, grabbed Tian Fan's hand and helped him up, and said: "Sir, please get up quickly, it is a great blessing for Mr. to not give up!" Guan Yu also stepped forward and said, "Sir, please get up, Mr. Xie will not abandon my three brothers!" He said to Liu Bei again: "Congratulations to the eldest brother for getting a good talent!" Zhang Fei also laughed and said: "Congratulations to my brother for becoming a talent, shall we go have a drink to celebrate?" ”

Liu Bei was in a very good mood and said to Zhang Fei: "Third brother, for my brother, I don't care about your drinking today, you just let go of the amount of drinking yourself." But you must remember that you must not get drunk and make trouble, otherwise your brother will not spare you! ”

Zhang Fei nodded hurriedly and said, "Big brother, don't worry, Fei knows it!" Hahaha, thank you Mr. Tian, if it weren't for you, my eldest brother would not have allowed me to drink, hahaha! Zhang Fei was so happy, his mouth was grinning to the back of his head!

Tian Liang looked at Liu Bei, then at Tian Fan, looking at this dazzling situation, after pondering for a moment, he said to Tian Fan with a serious face: "Fan'er, have you made up your mind?" ”

Tian Fan saluted Tian Liang and replied: "Father, the country is turbulent, and if you meet the Maven, you will be lucky!" If you are not filial, but since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety cannot be both, please fulfill your father! Tian Fan knew that after taking refuge in Liu Bei, he would not be able to fulfill his filial piety by his parents' side every day, so he was a little reluctant.

Tian Liang nodded, and said to Tian Fu and Li who were waiting: "Tian Fu, you go and call Tian Yi, Tian Er and Tian Kun and they all over, Li, you invite Mrs. here!" The two agreed, and each went to ask for someone.

Tian Liang said to Tian Fan again: "Fan'er, Xuande Gong is benevolent and a virtuous lord, since you have made up your mind to not stop you for your father, you must assist Xuande Gong well!" Tian Fan hurriedly said yes, and Liu Bei also said: "Mr. Xie Tian is complete!" ”

Tian Fan said to Liu Bei: "Lord, if you can't go to serve the lord immediately, please forgive me!" ”

Liu Bei was stunned for a moment and asked, "Sir, why is this?" ”

Tian Fan replied: "Tao Envoy Jun is not thin on Fan, and after Tao Envoy Jun dies, Fan can wholeheartedly assist the lord!" ”

Liu Bei is very happy, Tian Fan misses the old, once such a person makes up his mind to assist him, he will not betray easily, and everyone knows Tao Qian's body, it is estimated that it will be difficult to survive this year. He smiled tolerantly: "Hehe, Tao Yuanjun is not thin on Bei, this is not a problem, Mr. Bei is it!" ”

At this time, Zhang's, Mi Zhen, Tian Kun, Tian Yitian and others all came. After seeing Liu Bei, Zhang asked Tian Liang, "Master, why did you bring us all here?" Tian Fan called his mother, and Liu Bei saluted Mrs. Tian.

Tian Liang looked at Tian Fan and Liu Bei, turned his head to Zhang's and said, "Madam, Xuande Gong Rende, I came to ask Fan'er to assist today, Fan'er has already agreed!" ”

When Zhang heard this, he turned around and grabbed Tian Fan, and asked anxiously, "Fan'er, what your father said is true?" Don't be scared! ”

Liu Bei saw that this family had something to discuss, and the three brothers were not watching from the side, so he quickly got up and said goodbye.

After Tian Fan and Tian Liang sent the three of them back, Zhang said anxiously: "Fan'er, you said it!" ”

Tian Fan called his mother and said, "What my father said is good, and my son did agree." ”

Zhang grabbed Tian Liang's hand and said, "Master, why don't you persuade Fan'er!" There are no eyes on this battlefield, if there is anything good for Fan'er, how can you let me live! As he spoke, tears flowed. …,

Tian Fan hurriedly took his mother's hand and persuaded: "Mother, my son will not go to the front line, my son's task is to give Xuande Gong an idea, and there will be no danger!" ”

Zhang slapped Tian Fan lightly and said angrily: "Why are you still lying to your mother, this child?" You don't know about it, huh? If the war goes well, of course it's fine, but if the war doesn't go well, aren't you still in danger? As he spoke, tears flowed.

Tian Fan hurriedly persuaded him, the old man Tian Liang also persuaded him, and Mi Zhen also persuaded him, coaxing and teasing, saying that Liu Bei would definitely give him the best job, the least dangerous job, and definitely not have to go to the battlefield.

Zhang said to Tian Fan: "You stinky boy, you will coax me." Hey, forget it, I don't care, there are no eyes on the battlefield, you pay attention to yourself. A good man has ambitions in all directions, and I will not hinder your future, but every time you go on an expedition, you have to take good care of yourself for me, if you give me a hair less, I ...... I'm not going to live! As he spoke, the tears came down again, and he complained to Mi Zhen: "Zhen'er, you are a child, you don't persuade Fan'er with me, but you come with him to persuade me!" ”

Mi Zhen looked at Tian Fan, a pair of beautiful big eyes were misty, and for the first time she took the initiative to hold Tian Fan's hand, she smiled reluctantly and said: "Auntie, Zhen'er will support what Brother Tian Fan decides, Zhen'er only knows that if Brother Tian Fan has any accidents, Zhen'er will definitely not live alone!" ”

Tian Fan was moved in his heart, grabbed Mi Zhen's hand vigorously, and said, "Zhen'er, don't worry, I will take care of myself!" ”
