Chapter 475: A Long Wait
Not long after Tian Fan and his entourage returned home, they rushed to the gate of Tianfu on a fast horse.
Immediately, the man's head was covered with dust, and he looked dusty, and it seemed that he had traveled a long way. He was missing a right arm, but he only controlled the horse with his left arm, and the horse was unusually well-behaved. There were still ten steps away from the gate, and immediately Jian'er flew off his horse, ran quickly to the door, and asked in a deep voice, "Where is Childe?" ”
When the doorman saw this, he hurriedly saluted and said, "Brother Tiger, the son has just come back!" ”
The person who came was Tian Hu. Since Xiao Pei's battle, Tian Hu and Tian Long had a broken arm and a broken leg, Old Man Tian arranged for them to go to the manor to be the commander of the guards. The two have also lived up to expectations and have been doing well.
Tian Hu bowed his head slightly and said, "Take me to find Childe!" ”
The man immediately agreed, and quickly took Tian Hu to the inner courtyard.
At this time, Tian Fan had just arranged for Sun Quan to rest, and was chatting with Mi Zhen, Bai Yuzhu and Cai Yan.
He took a sip of water, looked at the three wives, and said, "Zhen'er, Yan'er, how is Sister Shangxiang these days?" ”
Mi Zhen smiled and said, "It's not bad, this kid is very good except for being lively, and he is very well-behaved and sensible!" ”
Cai Yan glanced at Mi Zhen obliquely, frowned and said, "Husband, it's true that Shangxiang is sensible, and it's not fake that she's well-behaved, but ...... It's too lively! ”
After a slight pause, she stroked the hair in her ears and said, "A few days ago, when she saw Xiaoxue for the first time, she immediately shot an arrow without hesitation, but fortunately she didn't shoot, otherwise Xiaoxue's temper would have been a big deal." After learning that Xiaoxue was a domestic tiger, he pestered Xiaoxue every day...... After that, Xiaoxue ignored her, and she took a bow and arrow to shoot chickens and ducks at Llama Lake every day, and the chickens and ducks we raised at home were unlucky! Since the day before yesterday, she went to the school again, and mixed with the children in the school, a few days ago I easily gathered the children's playfulness, but when she went, she was all busy in vain! ”
There is a school in the Tian family manor, and the scale is not small, there are more than 600 children in school. Half of these children are orphans, the children of Tian Fan's relatives who died in battle, and they are now raised by the Tian family. And the other half is also the son and daughter of Tian Fan's personal guard.
Unlike the rest of the schools, this school has both male and female students. However, men and women are taught separately, otherwise in this era, it is absolutely shocking. Girls mainly learn to read and write, and then they will learn knitting, calligraphy and painting, singing and dancing, piano and chess, accounts, etc. Boys, on the other hand, are only learning to read and write, and have not yet been exposed to real knowledge. This was also deliberately arranged by Tian Fan, because Tian Fan didn't think about what to let them learn specifically. A subset of scripture and history? How many tricks? Or is it a civil and military strategy?
This school was just established at the end of last year, and after Cai Yan got married, he spent all his time there except for copying books. Therefore, Cai Yan hated Sun Shangxiang's destruction of the learning atmosphere in the school, and wanted to say it, but he was embarrassed to say it, it can be regarded as suffocating in the past few days. Now that Tian Fan asked, she naturally had to answer truthfully.
She is not like Mi Zhen, who only needs to manage the family's business. Sun Shangxiang looks pleasing, especially a mouthful of teeth that have grown, as fine as shells, bright and snowy, very beautiful, she began to talk and laugh again. This cute girl is very pleasing to Mi Zhen, Mi Zhen especially wants to give birth to such a daughter, and the little girl has no impact on the Tian family's business, so in Mi Zhen's eyes, she is just a little lively......
I only heard Cai Yan continue: "The children in the school have made you accustomed to lawlessness, and now there is an even more lawless Shang Xiang...... Oh my God, a couple of teachers are going crazy with them! ”
Seeing Cai Yan's sad face, Tian Fan smiled and said, "Okay, okay, this child will leave in a few days, you don't have to worry." He smiled and said, "If you want me to say, you are still not murderous enough, why every time I go to the school, the children are honest?" ”
Cai Yan glared at him and said angrily: "That's it, how powerful is your General Tian?" How can a little woman compare? ”
Tian Fan couldn't help but smile, thought about it, and said, "Who is the naughtiest child in the school?" ”
Cai Yan rolled his eyes and said, "Who else is there besides that Tang Zheng?" ”
Tian Fan bowed slightly, and said: "That's it, Shang Xiang, this child is very active, you have to find someone to play with her, you first let Tang Zheng take a few days off from school, and accompany her to make trouble." Well, Tang Zheng is also familiar with Xiapi, and he is not afraid of getting lost, so when the time comes, find a few family members to accompany him, and let them go crazy! By the way, don't let them go to the academy! ”
Cai Yan was happy at this time, she nodded hurriedly, and said, "Okay, just do it!" ”
Tang Zheng, the son of Tang Xian, is the same age as Tian Fan's younger brother Tian Kun, and is fourteen years old this year. This kid is not a good bird, he is mischievous, and the more than 600 children combined do not cause as much trouble as him. Old Man Tang and his third son have been following Tian Fan all these years, and they have no kung fu to discipline him, and their mother can't control him, so they have formed such a temperament.
Seeing Bai Yuzhu's face full of worry, Tian Fan couldn't help but be curious, and said, "Yu'er, what's wrong with you?" ”
Bai Yuzhu flattened his mouth and said, "Husband, people are worried!" ”
Tian Fanqi said: "Worried? What to worry about? ”
Bai Yuzhu said: "People are afraid that in the future, their daughters will be as naughty as Shang Xiang, and the husband will not like ......."
Tian Fan pointed at her with a smile and said, "You are really ...... Hehe, in fact, Shang Xiang is very good, quite sensible, but she has a little excess energy, and when she is older, it will not be like this. If...... If our daughter is the same as Shang Xiang, hahahaha, then it's too late for me to be happy, how can I not like it! ”
Tian Fan can understand Bai Yuzhu's psychology, and in fact, in his previous life, he also had similar worries. He likes little girls and daughters, but since he saw a few fifteen or sixteen little girls with "black fungus" in their mouths, he was a little worried about giving birth to a daughter......
Bai Yuzhu listened, touched his belly, nodded with a smile, and smiled sweetly.
Mi Zhen and Cai Yan looked at Bai Yuzhu's already quite majestic belly, and couldn't help but be envious. The two of them looked at Tian Fan in unison, their eyes glowing with green, and then touched their belly, quite a bit like a big bad wolf looking at the little white rabbit.
Tian Fan saw the resentful eyes of the two, and his scalp was a little numb, how should you let him choose?
Coincidentally, the maid reported that Tian Hu was here.
Tian Fan was stunned for a moment, remembered one thing, he stood up suddenly, and said, "Zhen'er, Yan'er, Yu'er, Brother Tiger is back, it's about that thing that has progressed, I have to go and see!" ”
With that, he strode out.
As soon as he came out of the inner courtyard, Tian Fan saw a maid leading Tian Hu to stride over, and he hurriedly greeted him.
When Tian Hu saw Tian Fan, he hurriedly left the maid, stepped forward to salute, and said excitedly: "Son, it's done, it's done!" ”
Tian Fan pulled his arm excitedly and said in a trembling voice: "Is it really done?" ”
Tian Hu nodded again and again, and said seriously: "It's really done!" ”
This matter, but Tian Fan has been looking forward to it for a long time! He immediately made a decision and said to the maid: "You go and inform my father and mother, as well as a few ladies, and say that I have an urgent matter to go to Lu County immediately, and it may take two or three days to come back, so they don't have to worry!" After a slight pause, he continued: "Also, tell Zhongmou, I'm sorry, I can't accompany him for the time being, let him wait a few days!" ”
The maid squatted down and saluted, "Yes, son!" ”
After that, Tian Fan and Tian Hu found Tang Feng, lit dozens of guards, beat horses and galloped, and went to Lu County!
Mi Zhen, Cai Yan and others couldn't help but look at each other when they heard the news. Husband is too anxious, right? It's getting late now, can't we go again tomorrow? Besides, Sun Quan is still there......
The two of them hurriedly arranged for someone to inform Tian's father and Tian's mother, and then asked someone to send a letter to Sun Quan.
Let's talk about Tian Fan's whereabouts.
About thirty miles to the east of Lu County, there is a manor. The estate is located near Surabaya and covers a vast area. There is a large courtyard in the manor, which is built next to the river. Here, it is another manor of the Tian family. Tian Fan's destination is there.
When Tian Fan arrived, it was already the first hour of the day, that is, more than seven o'clock in the evening in the later generations. In spring, the days are short and the nights are long, and it is already completely dark at this time.
Hearing the sound of horses' hooves from far and near, the housekeepers patrolling the courtyard wall as high as three feet high hurriedly shouted: "Whoever is here, report your name!" At the same time, as soon as the leader waved his hand, countless family members on the courtyard wall raised their bows and arrows, ready to deal with the mutation at any time.
The quality of the family was extremely high, and they did not wait long, there were many swords and guns, and all the bows and arrows were ready, and if anyone came to rush straight without stopping, they would be hit hard.
As soon as they were ready, Tian Hu shouted: "Put down the bow and arrows, Gongzi is here!" ”
Tian Long, who had already guessed on the courtyard wall, heard Tian Hu's voice and got it confirmed, and hurriedly shouted: "Put down the bow and arrow!" It's Childe coming! ”
The family put down their bows and arrows, only to see Tian Fan and his party rushing over.
Tian Long went down the courtyard wall, asked people to open the courtyard door, greeted Tian Fan, hugged his fists and said: "I've seen Gongzi!" ”
Tian Fan nodded, jumped off the war horse, and helped Tian Long and said, "Brother Long, are your legs and feet okay?" ”
Tian Long smiled: "Childe, the prosthetic leg you designed for me is not bad, although it is not as good as the real legs, but I can finally stand up and walk!" Haha, I have long said that I want to invite my son to have a good drink, which is considered a thank you, but I have never had the opportunity. This time, you won't be able to run! ”
Tian Fan saw that Tian Long did not leave a psychological shadow on the broken leg, and he couldn't help but feel relieved. He laughed and said, "Brother Long, it just so happens that I haven't eaten yet!" ”
Tian Long laughed, pulled Tian Fan and said, "Let's go, son, let's go in!" ”
Tian Long's left leg was also cut off in Xiao Pei's battle, and after that, Tian Fan felt sorry for him, and when he was free at the beginning of the year, he helped him design a prosthetic leg. The prosthetic legs of this model are very rough, because Tian Fan does not understand ergonomics, and is only designed according to the wooden prosthetic legs of pirates in the movie. But I didn't expect that the effect was quite good, at least walking was not a problem. Tian Fan is thinking about helping Zhou Ting, Wu Da, Tian Hu and others design another kind of fake force, and also imitate the pirate's iron hook and prosthetic arm, presumably they will be very powerful after installing it.
Tian Hu and Tian Long led Tian Fan inside, and Tian Hu introduced: "Son, there are 1,136 tenants in this manor, 950 private soldiers of our Tian family, and in addition, there are more than 300 craftsmen. Because Childe asked for an order from the general, our private soldiers were equipped with 600 bows and 400 crossbows, hehe, it can be said that this is the most impregnable courtyard in the whole world! Childe, please see, this is ......"
With the guidance of Tian Hu and Tian Long, Tian Fan can be regarded as having seen the power of his second manor. In addition to the crossbows that are generally not allowed to be equipped in the manor, there are several catapults, several ballistas, and a lot of concentrated solutions of caustic soda. Where is this manor? It's clearly a bunker! Unless the other side sends a regular army to attack, and less than three thousand men are impossible to capture. Thinking about it, he couldn't help laughing, at that time, he only thought that this yard should be strong and try to withstand attacks, but he didn't expect the old man to send someone to make it look like this! And Liu Bei also gave face, and he was equipped with such a sharp weapon!
