Summary of the previous chapter: Zi Shaoyan told Ma Xiaoquan some past events he saw in the Zi family’s preserved classics...
I still remember that in the late Han Dynasty, Ma Xiaoquan defeated a series of opponents, including Lu Xian, Bian Rang and other strong players... After passing five levels and killing six generals, Ma Xiaoquan won the favor of Hua Yuexin.
A few years later, Zichen came to the door and mentioned his candidates for the head of the Zi family. According to Zichen, one of them missed the "bracelet gift" of the Hua family in the past because of physical discomfort.
The heart of the flower moon......
Zi Shaoyan added some of his own thoughts as he spoke. Zi Shaoyan thought that there were some deviations in the past in the classics. After all, it would be unreasonable for a candidate to be for a woman.
And Ma Xiaoquan believed that the main reason why Zichen came to him and asked Ma Xiao to be the head of the Zi family was because his best candidate of the Zi family was not qualified... and that candidate
Therefore, there is a big reason for Ma Xiaoquan's incompetence to "take love with a sword". Of course, what is recorded in the classics may not be correct. After all, no one wants to let their bad past remain in future generations.
"It seems...Uncle Shaoyan, your original candidate for the head of the Zi family...is still a dedicated person," Ma Xiaoquan murmured.
Zi Shaoyan also nodded helplessly: "Yes, since ancient times, it's sad to be dedicated... But... your Ma Xiaoquan, the first generation head of the Ma family, took away the heart of Hua Yue, so you are indeed interested in the candidate for the head of the family.
It’s a big blow to people.”
Ma Xiaoquan didn't like the term "fighting for love" because the candidate for the head of the Zi family didn't show up at the Hua family's bracelet ceremony. Since he didn't show up, how could Ma Xiaoquan talk about "fighting for love"?
What about "love"? Besides, Hua Yuexin only fell in love with Ma Xiaoquan. Even if the younger generation of the Zi family could get a good ranking for wearing a bracelet as a gift, I'm afraid he might not be able to win Hua Yuexin's heart.
Ma Xiaoquan shook his head in disapproval.
...
After listening to Zi Shaoyan's story about the past, Ma Xiaoquan couldn't help but laugh.
"What's wrong? Quaner, do you think this is unreal?"
Ma Xiaoquan shook his head and said: "On the contrary, I feel it is very real, as if I am immersed in it!"
"Well, why do you say that?"
Ma Xiaoquan and Mrs. Ma looked at each other, and the latter also shook his head and chuckled.
Ma Xiaoquan said: "Maybe Uncle Shaoyan, you spoke too well."
Zi Shaoyan didn't think much about it. After all... Ma Xiaoquan, the head of the Ma family in the late Han Dynasty, and Ma Xiaoquan who was standing in front of him now, he thought it was absolutely impossible for them to be the same person.
Although there are also descriptions of Ma Xiaoquan, the head of the Ma family, in the classics of the Zi family, there are many in-depth analyzes of him. Moreover, what Zi Shaoyan has never believed... is that Ma Xiaoquan is over a thousand years old.
Ma Xiaoquan shrugged. He could see that Zi Shaoyan was deep in thought, and he could also guess what Zi Shaoyan was thinking.
It doesn't matter, the time is not ripe now, we will talk about it when the time is ripe...
"Say less..." Mrs. Ma asked, "Why did your old man send you to my Ma's house?"
Zi Shaoyan frowned and said calmly: "Aunt Yang...the old man sent me to ask you..."
"But it doesn't matter."
"Well Aunt Yang...Huajia...do you still know?"
"Hua Family?" Madam Ma also frowned, "Isn't the Hua Family completely in decline... Why, what else does your old man have in mind?"
Zi Shaoyan said: "To be honest with Aunt Yang, we... discovered someone from the Hua family..."
"What?" Ma Xiaoquan was surprised this time, "Uncle Shaoyan... Grandma said that the Hua family has completely declined. Is there any descendant?"
Zi Shaoyan nodded: "Yes, but I'm not sure. That's why the old man sent me to the Ma family to ask them to borrow some classics."
"That's it, haha." Mrs. Ma smiled and said, "I thought your old man was up to something. He came to borrow my Ma family's classics after making trouble for a long time. Humph, don't say anything. It's not that Aunt Yang doesn't want to borrow it, or,
Let that damn old man come over by himself, or my Ma family will send someone to send it to you, and you can look at it in front of us. Of course, you can also keep the rubbings, how about it?"
"Aunt Yang, this..." Zi Shaoyan was a little confused.
"This matter has been settled, nothing else can be discussed..." Mrs. Ma said domineeringly.
Ma Xiaoquan gave Mrs. Ma a thumbs up in her heart, "Grandma, grandma, you are so awesome. What's so great about the Zi family? If I reveal my identity as the first generation head of the Ma family, I will definitely scare them to death, hehe..."
..
The book...Zi Shaoyan definitely couldn't borrow it. In this case, Zi Shaoyan didn't talk much anymore. He talked less and talked less. He was indeed very talkative.
"Aunt Yang, there is one more thing..."
"Is there anything else?" Mrs. Ma frowned and asked, "What's the matter?"
Zi Shaoyan nodded: "My Zi family has established an academy...inviting all the hidden wealthy families to go..."
Mrs. Ma sighed: "My Ma family is no longer a reclusive wealthy family. Besides, except for Quan'er, all the male members of my Ma family are fighting against the Jin Army in Ningyuan..."
Zi Shaoyan nodded and said: "Shaoyan knows this, so Shaoyan came here mainly to invite his fourth son, Ma Xiaoquan!"
"Me?" Ma Xiaoquan pointed at himself and looked at Zi Shaoyan in surprise.
"Yes!" Zi Shaoyan nodded.
"Academy..." Ma Xiaoquan thought for a moment, "Uncle Shaoyan, isn't that Donglin Academy?"
Zi Shaoyan laughed loudly: "No, no, Donglin Academy is the foundation of the Donglin Party in the imperial court. My Zi family is a reclusive family and has nothing to do with this."
"Oh" Ma Xiaoquan became curious, "You can go and see this."
Ma Xiaoquan quietly nodded to Mrs. Ma, indicating that he could go and have a look.
Mrs. Ma sighed in her heart and said to Zi Shaoyan: "Shao Yan, in this case, our Ma family will send Quan'er there, but... Quan'er's father and brother will be back tomorrow.
Things... we have to wait until after the New Year!"
Zi Shaoyan chuckled: "No hurry, no rush, my fourth brother is coming too, haha..."
"Your fourth brother," Mrs. Ma frowned, "is he coming too?"
