"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, he should be thinking about something this time 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’s obvious that you’re 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 is no joke that his father, Sima Fang, used the hands of businessmen to spread his net across the world. The Sima family began to lay out the world for their own survival very early on.
"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 the head of the Fan family. Let's say Boda of the Sima family in Hanoi came 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 convincing.
"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 was also a high-ranking official with two thousand stones, and had friends all over the world. He did not need to come to Fanliang to seek an official position, so he did not cause any trouble to Chen Xi.
The old housekeeper personally welcomed Brother Sima into the door and said, "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, Boda, I haven't seen you for a long time. We said goodbye to Luoyang back then. 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 scum. "Second brother finally said
He was studying at home, and I was afraid that he would not be able to stop himself, so I took him out for a trip. We passed by Mount Tai and heard that my uncle’s married daughter came here to have a banquet. This is my second brother Zhongda. He is a bit dull by nature. Uncle Fan, don’t be offended.”
"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.
In Fanliang's opinion, 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 them as distant relatives. After all, they The Fan family and the Sima family do not have a 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, there was 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 chaotic. They were one family in the ancestors, 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 Fan Liang didn't find it strange that Sima Lang said he was having a 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 an orthodox bloodline of the Chen family of 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, please 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 of 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's He also understood the matter. Wasn't it just a family separation? Which aristocratic family hadn't 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, they will just be disappointed.
"This will put the two of us at ease, and we won't bother uncle any more." Sima Lang was 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? , it’s dark under the lamp, but as long as you don’t expose it, it will definitely 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’ve used Zichuan’s things to entertain you, but don’t be polite. There are indeed some amazing works in the Fenggao Library. Since you are traveling, don’t forget 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."
