Traveling through the mountains and fields to be leisurely

Chapter 150 Reuniting the Lan Family Chain
"Sister, Xiaoliba is looking for you."

The sound of the little hoe came from outside the door, but he didn't open the door to come in, but waited for Lan Lingxue's reply. Lan Lingxue hurriedly got up and opened the door. Outside the door, a little hoe in a bachelor's uniform was standing by the door, holding his brother in his arms. The little hoe has grown very tall, about the same stature as Lan Lingxue, but this little guy is only ten years old, it seems that there is no need to worry about his height, and the shape of his face has also grown, showing some of the youthful handsomeness Lan Lingxue had to say that this younger brother was worthy of her pride. In just two years, he lived up to expectations and was admitted as a scholar, and brought his riding master and steed to Beijing with glory. Only when the family is truly reunited,
"Come in, little hoe, you've only been back for two days, why don't you take a good rest."

Lan Lingxue took the little fence over, let Xiaohoe pass by, and let him enter the house. Although Xiaohoe had just been in Beijing for two days, he didn't look tired.

"I just came here by car, so I don't need to rest, I'm refreshed."

Ever since he came to Zhuangzi, the little hoe has been having a good time, riding his steed, running around, in the fields and mountains, it is not enough for him to be crazy, and his master also gave him a holiday. I went back to Beijing to see my family. After all, I spent two years with Xiao Hoe in the small county. Lan Lingxue brought a lot of things for him when he was about to go back. People who learn martial arts are very straightforward and not hypocritical. , thanked the Lan family for their kindness, and went back to the city happily,

"Do you have any plans?"

This crazy running all over the sky won't work either.
"Of course, the second prince has already helped me contact the Guoxue in Beijing. I will report to the Guoxue after I rest for a few more days."

Lan Lingxue didn't want to be so closely connected with the second prince, but, things didn't go her way, and she had no other way. Fortunately, An Zhiyuan hinted to her in the letter that the second prince is not bad. At first, I thought, since I can't go far, then keep a good distance, but the result is that there are always some fetters involved, which make Lan Lingxue's family and the second prince get closer and closer, and even, now the second prince and the little hoe Contact, don't use yourself at all.

"elder sister--"

A childish call interrupted Lan Lingxue's thoughts,
"Oh, our little Lili, miss my sister? Let my sister kiss."

Lan Lingxue kissed the little baby in her hand. Lan Lingxue couldn't put it down because of that smooth little face. Now the one Lan Lingxue is holding in her hand is Lan Lingxue's kissing little brother. Anyway, the arrival of the little hoe is a real family reunion. My mother followed Lan Lingxue and her father into the capital in the first year of their stay in Beijing. The reason is very simple. Comrade Lin Qiutang is pregnant. After Lan Erzhuang and Lan Lingxue received the letter from Lin Qiutang, they were worried that she would continue to stay in the county. Anyway, the shops in the county had been smoothed out, not to mention that Li Shuanzhu was in charge, and Lan Ling Xue discussed with her father and brought her mother to the capital. At the beginning, Lin Qiutang was still reluctant to come. She was worried that Little Hoe would be alone in the county. With his master taking care of him, Lin Qiutang finally felt relieved. He got into the carriage specially sent by Lan Lingxue, and came to the capital. In July of the next year, he gave birth to this cute little brother. His father named him Xiao Fence, now over a year old.

Lan Lingxue walked out of her house with the little fence in her arms, and the little hoe followed. Chunhua carefully closed the door and followed behind Lan Lingxue. I have to say that Lan Lingxue really likes the land. Although she has set up a big yard in Beijing, she rarely lives there. For more than half of the year, she still lives in Zhuangzi. Now, almost all the products in the space are produced in Zhuangzi, so she can easily The ground will not move anything in the space, except for the clear spring water, she will send clear spring water to the border gate every once in a while. The battle at the border gate is so smooth, Lan Lingxue deserves more than half of the credit. Think about it, An army with no loss of personnel, who can be its opponent.

Of course, things can't be overdone, after all, clear spring water can't bring the dead back to life, but the point is, soldiers who drink clear spring water are generally strong and responsive, and the chance of being injured on the battlefield is greatly reduced. This also indirectly made this war a one-sided trend. Therefore, what was originally a counterattack war against the Tartars turned into an aggressive war to capture the Tartars. Otherwise, the second prince would not have stayed at the border After so long, he had seen new hope, and after discussing with General An, he made the decision to attack. Since he could stop the people at the border from being bullied once and for all, why not give it a go? The chances of winning are so great, no It's really useless to try this opportunity given by God. In An Zhiyuan's letter, he will keep mentioning the progress of the war. On the last letter paper before the one, it was full of concern and longing, and there was still a little homesickness. He always casually mentioned that Lan Lingxue, the old lady of the Hou Mansion, also secretly sent someone to After investigating, he told An Zhiyuan in a letter that the old lady was in good health and everything was going well, so as to comfort his fragile little heart.

"Sister, I heard that the border war is coming to an end?"

Little Hoe was afraid that his sister would be tired, so he stretched out his hand to take over the little fence, but Lan Lingxue hid, and carried her younger brother into the next room,
"Well, Brother Zhiyuan said in the letter that it will be over soon. We have already reached the center of the grassland, where the last forces of the Tartars are gathered. If this operation is successful, the leader of the Tartars will be captured. , the following advance speed can be carried out according to the degree of the autumn wind sweeping the fallen leaves, and if all goes well, it will take a few months for people to return to Beijing."

Although An Zhiyuan talked about border wars, in fact he meant big frames, or some small local stories during the war. Wars need to be kept secret. An Zhiyuan still understands this, and Lan Lingxue never asks, she I also know that the army has secrecy regulations, but in the letters, in An Zhiyuan's story, there are some vague definitions of language from time to time, which made her guess most of them.

"Why, the second prince even told you these things?"

Lan Lingxue had never told anyone about the border crossing. When Little Hoe asked, he naturally knew about it from the second prince.

"Well, in the second prince's letter, sometimes the battle at the border was mentioned, not much, but before he attacked the grassland this time, he told me his thoughts in detail. I didn't really understand it, but I read it carefully, and then carefully I analyzed the feasibility of this matter, and because of this matter, I read a lot of books about war. Sister, it turns out that leading an army to fight is not simply a matter of swords and swords. It also requires wisdom. There are limits to military advancement and retreat. , can better reflect one's ability, sometimes, retreating is not a failure, and attacking is not a victory, this is the same as how we deal with people in our lives, except that war is more cruel."

Lan Lingxue looked at her younger brother beside her, it turned out that you have grown up so much, and you already know so many common principles in life, you no longer need my protection to grow up, Lan Lingxue I was a little lost, but when I saw the little fence in my hand, I laughed. It is already very difficult, maybe his future will be better than what he expected, how good it will be depends on his efforts, but from now on, he has already exceeded his expectations .

"It's not too tiring to hold the baby, just sit down and talk."

Seeing the siblings standing outside talking with the child in their arms, Lin Qiutang came out from the inner room and took the child over. Chunhua went over to pour tea for several people, and then left the room. She was used to it. When things happen, go to the door and guard. Whether talking to people at home or outside, Chunhua has always adhered to this principle. It's not that Lan Lingxue needs to avoid her, but because she is afraid of the eldest lady. Some of her words will be overheard. After all, Missy’s every word is meticulous, and maybe a few casual words can set a dying shop on fire. Chunhua’s ability to Missy is one hundred Let’s just talk about her business model, unified plaque, Unified storefront, uniform dress, unified management, Quan Wu Xia Guo, no matter which store you go to, you don’t need to look at the sign, you will know that it is the chain store of the Lan family. Many shops have followed suit, and Chunhua is naturally honored to be by the side of such a young lady.

"Little basket, the ice shop in Beijing has gradually lost customers these days. I want to end it sooner. I don't want to wait until there are no customers before changing the project like last year. That would delay things and change the project. , It takes a few days to support the talent, inside and out, at least half a month's delay, and a lot of money is lost. In this month last year, the store only made a capital, and there was almost no profit."

Not long after buying the Zhuangzi the year before last, Lan Erzhuang led people to dig the cellar and ice cellar for preparation. He knew that this was what his daughter needed, and then in winter, he prepared two ice cellars full of ice for her. Thanks to these ices, Lin Qiutang didn't suffer too much during confinement. You know, it was the hottest season, and he couldn't wash his hair or take a bath. If there were no these ices to help cool down, how could he It doesn’t mean that the whole body is covered with prickly heat, and the children also suffer. Fortunately, the ice stored in these winters has kept the house at a proper temperature. Although it is a waste, the things in my house are used for my family. , no one felt distressed, looking at the fat little guy, felt that all the sacrifices were worth it.

When last summer was approaching, with the ice prepared by her father, Lan Lingxue opened the first Lanjia ice shop in Beijing. Those strange ice products with many flavors, in that hot summer, you don’t have to think about it. I also know how attractive it is, and there are many ladies from official and rich families, because they cannot go out freely, especially they cannot sit in the shop to eat at will, but they are very yearning for this special new product for relieving summer heat. Let the boy buy it home, it has already melted into ice water, and it completely loses the taste of ice products. This makes Lan Lingxue's brains wide open, and immediately adds a delivery item, which is naturally indispensable for making money That's right, plus the income from the shop, I made a lot of money in one summer. After the mother gave birth to Xiaowei, she couldn't stay still. She was used to running the shop and couldn't bear to become An idler, when he was confinement, he begged Lan Lingxue to let her manage the shop. Lan Lingxue was begged by her mother for help, so she handed over the ice shop to her.
