"Brother, the one who was a little dazed just now was Chen Zichuan, right?" Sima Yi frowned and asked his elder brother, "If it weren't for the amazing amount of energy that he inadvertently revealed, I would have been blinded just now. I felt a little different from the last time I saw him. ah."
"It is indeed Chen Zichuan. Compared with the last time we saw him, this time he should be thinking about something and not paying attention." Sima Lang nodded and said, comparing it to the high-spirited and wise man he saw in the restaurant before. Chen Xi, it is obvious that he is a bit useless today.
"I didn't expect that after asking our Sima family's businessmen in Fenggao, they immediately asked about the residence of the Fan family. My father has trained these people well." Sima Yi said calmly, still trusting the abilities of his servants. It's no joke that his father, Sima Fang, used the hands of businessmen to spread the world. The Sima family began to organize the world for their own survival very early.
"Yes." Sima Lang nodded and said, "Let's go meet the head of the Fan family, and then we should be able to borrow books from the library."
"This is the safest way." Sima Yi nodded in agreement, quite approving of his brother's arrangement.
"Please give this gift to Master Fan, and tell him that Sima Boda of the Hanoi family is here to visit with Zhongda." Sima Lang handed over the greeting card and said to the concierge with a smile. Under the influence of his spiritual talent, the other party couldn't help but have a feeling for Sima Lang. Kind of convinced.
"Sir, wait a moment." The porter saluted Sima Lang. He was not as indifferent as he was to the former scholars who came to visit him and wanted to pursue an official career. Instead, he was very respectful and said that he would inform Fan Liang immediately.
Fan Liang looked at the invitation and felt a little strange. The Fan family didn't have much contact with the Sima family, but he did meet Sima Lang a few years ago. He was honored to be called uncle by him. After all, he was in Chen Xi's favor.
"Invite them into the living room, and I will change clothes." Fan Liang motioned to the old housekeeper to invite Sima Lang in. Sima Lang was different from other scholars in that he did not ask for an official position. You must know what his father Sima Fang said now. He is also a high-ranking official with two thousand dan, and has friends all over the world. There is no need to come to Fanliang to seek an official position, so he does not cause trouble to Chen Xi.
The old housekeeper personally welcomed Brother Sima into the door, "Two young masters, please wait a moment, the master of the house will be here shortly." He ordered the maid to pour tea and bring snacks and preserved fruits to wait there, and then he slowly withdrew.
"Haha, it's been a long time, Boda. We said goodbye to Luoyang back then, and a few years have passed in the blink of an eye. How are you doing now, sir?" Fan Liang saw Brother Sima when he entered the door. Naturally, he also saw the blessings in the two of them, and naturally smiled at him. said.
"I've met my uncle. My father is in good health." Sima Lang stood up and saluted with Sima Yi. He didn't say anything else but just told Fan Liang that he was in good health. Naturally, it was a hint that the others were all scum. "Second brother finally said He was studying at home, and I was afraid that he would be unable to stop himself, so I took him out for a trip, passing by Mount Tai, and I heard that my uncle’s married daughter came here specially to have a banquet. This is my second brother Zhongda, who is a bit dull by nature, don’t be offended, Uncle Fan."
"Sit down, sit down. If you call me uncle, I will accept your love. I guess you are not here to enjoy my daughter's banquet. You are here to enjoy the Chen family's banquet. After all, your Sima family and Chen family have the same origin, and There have been constant visits in the past hundred years, so you should come and take a look when passing through this place." Fan Liang said with a smile, and he could understand what Sima Lang said.
From Fan Liang's point of view, the two Sima brothers were not passing through Taishan and found his Fan family's married daughter coming to have a banquet, but they were passing here and learned that Chen Xi was a descendant of the Chen family in Yingchuan and came to congratulate her as a distant relative. After all, the Fan family and the Sima family have no close relationship. On the contrary, the Chen family in Yingchuan and the Sima family in Hanoi have a close relationship. After all, their ancestors are one family.
The aristocratic family is very strange. They are not afraid of being distant, but afraid of being irrelevant. It was difficult when Sima Yi's grandfather Sima Jun came to Yingchuan as an official. After all, there were too many prominent families in Yingchuan and it was difficult to manage. Later, he accidentally found the family tree of the Chen family. It was fun to meet my ancestors.
As the two parties came and went, the relationship got better. In addition, they had a common ancestor, and the two parties had frequent exchanges. From that time on, the relationship between the Chen family and the Sima family began to heat up. This is why Hanoi and Yingchuan are so far apart. , Chen Qun and Sima Yi are good friends because one of their aunts is the other's aunt...
Anyway, the relationship between these two relatively distant families is actually quite messy. Their ancestors were one family, but their descendants separated, and then began to marry again. In recent generations, people from the Chen family and people from the Sima family are somewhat related. Although this relationship is relatively distant, in ancient times this kind of relationship was enough for you to come when you got married, let alone coming from thousands of miles away, the friendship is really no joke.
This is why Fanliang didn't find it strange that Sima Lang said he was enjoying the banquet. Traveling around the world and meeting relatives in foreign lands, it is natural for him to eat and live with each other. He should take another bag with him before leaving.
Sima Lang and Sima Yi knew the news instantly. Chen Xi was of the orthodox Chen family bloodline in Yingchuan. No matter how weak it was, if Fan Liang could say this, it meant that the ancestral temple was in Yingchuan, so the rest was more reasonable. .
"Uncle, forgive me. My second brother and I have also heard that Chen Zichuan is a member of the Chen family in Yingchuan, but we have never seen him in the family. After all, not everyone of the same generation of the Chen family can know it clearly, but at least one should be able to Impression." Sima Lang said with a wry smile, "That's why I came to my uncle first to confirm. If I get it wrong, we will be laughed to death by the long article."
"Hahaha, don't worry, don't worry, Zichuan is indeed from the Chen family in Yingchuan. Although he is a little unhappy with the clan, there will be no problem for relatives like you to go." Fan Liang said with a smile, the Chen family He also understood the matter. Wasn't it just a family separation? Which aristocratic family has not appeared before? Wasn't Sima Ranju, the ancestor of the two guys sitting opposite, successfully separated from the Chen family?
For aristocratic families, you can split up if you want. As long as you succeed, they will recognize it. If you fail, you will have no choice but to laugh.
"This will put the two of us at ease, and we can no longer disturb uncle." Sima Lang felt relieved after he was sure that he could play the game. When the time comes, he will sneak into Chen Xi's banquet. Who will go to Chen Xi's banquet to arrest people? , there is no darkness under the lamp, as long as you don't expose yourself, it will be fine.
"Hahaha, by the way, let me give you two a certificate each. Fanwu will bring two of the loan certificates that Zichuan gave me." Fan Liang smiled and said to the housekeeper outside the door, "Uncle doesn't have any good things, only I’m using Zichuan’s things to entertain you, so don’t be polite. There are indeed some amazing works in Fenggao Library. Since you are traveling, don’t forget about your studies and don’t refuse.”
Sima Lang and Sima Yi looked at each other, then bowed to Fan Liang, "Thank you uncle, we have always wanted to enter the Fenggao Library but were unable to get in. Today we finally got what we wanted." (To be continued.) )
