The eldest daughter of a peasant family: They are all my sisters’ passers-by

She didn't want everything in this era to be referenced by men. Why? Since she brought it here, she has absolute authority. She had to use women as the standard. If women can use it, then men can use it even more.

Cang Wenyuan obviously didn't understand her thoughts, but he could only choose to accept it. Lan Wangshu didn't want to help him solve his doubts. She sent the couple and the ox cart away. Looking at the yard full of wood chips, she frowned and planned to clean up the yard.

Zhou Xingnan had never seen such a big broom before, and he insisted on coming over to help, as if he had seen some new toy.

Lan Wangshu was glad to have help, so he handed over the broom with a smile, went to the utility room, found the kettle for watering the flowers, secretly poured alcohol into it, and planned to disinfect the yard as well.

The iron kettle with alcohol was indeed a bit heavy. She was short and frail, so she had to carry it with both hands when she went out.

Mo Yici sighed, reached out and took it, tilted his head and looked at her questioningly. Lan Wangshu was stunned for a moment before he reacted.

"Oh, spill this wine on the floor and then sweep it up."

"Well, go back and tell the story."

His voice was cold and indifferent. He took a step with his long legs, holding the pot in one hand. Zhou Xingnan followed obediently behind him to sweep the yard.

Lan Wangshu sometimes had to admit that there must be a man in a family, otherwise who would do the hard work.

"elder sister."

She walked into the twins' room, where the two younger ones were already lying down.

"How is it? Are you cold?"

"not cold."

Each of the twins stuck a little head out, looking extremely cute. Lan Wangshu suddenly felt that the twins were somewhat alike. Their styles were so different that one could tell at a glance. There was no need to think, the one who was full of energy and had clear eyes was Lan Wangyan.

Lan Wangyu only shook his head quietly and looked at her intently.

Lan Luochen sat quietly at a distance. He knew he was sick and didn't want to pass on his illness to his younger brothers.

"What story do you want to hear today?"

The four faces looked at each other and no one spoke. Only the rustling sound of Zhou Xingnan sweeping the yard could be heard.

"Then I will tell you about one person, Cao Chong."

The story system of Romance of the Three Kingdoms is too huge, and she cannot recite the entire book from memory, so she can only talk about whatever she thinks of.

Seeing the two cute younger brothers reminded her of a person who appeared in her Chinese textbook. It was a pity that he did not have a good ending.

Lan Wangshu described in a soft voice a creature called an elephant. They had never seen or heard of it before and found it very novel, uttering exclamations one after another.

Zhou Xingnan and Mo Yici who were outside the door had seen it before, because it was a neighboring country in the southwest of Dazhao, called Siam. They liked to ride a thing called Ganesha, and it was even on their flag.

They were fortunate enough to see it in Kyoto, but that was because the Siamese envoys came to pay homage that year. This remote place should be known to few people.

"Brother, is the elephant that the boss is talking about Ganesha?"

Zhou Xingnan looked very excited and couldn't help but nudge Mo Yici with his elbow.

Mo Yici's heart was very complicated. He believed deep down that the Lan siblings were ordinary farmers, but he wondered if their knowledge was too broad.

Soon, Lan Wangshu's words interrupted his thoughts.

"Do you know how to weigh an elephant?"

"Go weigh yourself."

Lan Wangyan blurted out the answer without even pausing.

Lan Wangyu looked at his brother with undisguised disdain in his eyes. Others could see two clear words in his eyes: reckless man.

"But the scale can't tell. The current scales have limits. The elephant's weight has exceeded the limit. What should I do?"

"Then weigh the elephant in pieces."

Lan Wangshu's fox eyes widened a little, and she looked at Lan Wangyan in disbelief. The little guy didn't think there was anything wrong with him. If it was too heavy, he could just divide it into small pieces so that it could be weighed.

Mo Yici outside the door also felt some cold sweat on his back. This kid is not afraid at all. Can such a big thing be divided just like that?

"Brother, your apprentice looks like you. I will follow you to the battlefield in the future."

Zhou Xingnan was still commenting in a low voice, his tone full of teasing. Mo Yici glanced at him lightly before he calmed down a little.

"Well, this is indeed a solution, but elephants are animals, they are living beings, just like humans. We can't kill them. Cutting them into pieces won't work. Your idea is too bloody."

Lan Wangyan seemed to have just realized what he had said, his face showing a bit of horror. How could he do such a cruel thing?

"You can make a giant scale with the elephant on one side and the weight on the other side."

Lan Wangshu was very satisfied with the answer and nodded.

"This method is possible by imagination, but it is difficult to realize. The weight of the elephant is heavier than you can imagine. Do you want to know what method Cao Chong used in the end?"

The three little faces nodded, and even Zhou Xingnan nodded where Lan Wangshu couldn't see.
