Liu Lanzi and her daughter Lan Rey Yun had never seen Lan Beicheng so happy, so eager to drink, and so talkative after his retirement. He eagerly chatted with Yang Fan, seemingly talking for hours, which seemed more than what he would usually say in a year.
If Liu Lanzi and Lan Rey Yun hadn't deliberately intervened, and considering Yang Fan's poor alcohol tolerance, Lan Beicheng would have surely ended up totally drunk today.
After dinner, with their conversation seemingly unfinished, Lan Beicheng took Yang Fan to his study.
Lan Beicheng had not expected Yang Fan, this young man from the countryside, to have such a broad range of knowledge, from the Yijing Bagua to astronomy and geography, the Nine Chapters on the Mathematical Art to the Compendium of Materia Medica; he was knowledgeable in everything. It was hard for him to imagine that this was someone who had just graduated from high school.
