Ma Chao began to teach Liu Wei martial arts, and he also found craftsmen outside the palace to build two wooden knives, one large and one small, which were suitable for him and Liu Wei.

Ma Chao is seriously teaching Liu Wei martial arts every day, and Liu Wei is also studying hard and seriously. In Ma Chao's opinion, it is not easy for a prince to be like this.

After resting, Ma Chao asked Liu Wei: "Who is the gentleman who doesn't know the knowledge of the Pope?" ”

"With the same surname as Mr., he is also a Mr. Ma, and his name is Riyan."

Ma Riyan? When I heard this Ma Chao at the beginning, I didn't react, but after thinking about it carefully, it seemed that there was really such a person. It's the word he never knew, and today he has grown knowledge, and the word is pronounced "low". Ma Chao nodded, maybe he might see it one day.

"Do you want to see Mr. Ma?"

"No, sir, I'm just curious."

"Oh."

"Alright, continue to practice martial arts!"

"No!"

Liu Wei didn't dare to slack off, and began to pick up the wooden knife again and follow Ma Chao to learn knife techniques.

One day, Ma Chao really met Ma Riyan and his people, he was going to teach Liu Bian's knife technique, and Ma Riyan had just come out of Liu Bian's place. As soon as he saw Ma Chao, he hurriedly asked, "May I ask if it is Ma Chao and Ma Mengqi from Fufeng Maoling?" ”

He knew that Emperor Lu Dao had found a gentleman to teach martial arts to Liu Wei, who was Ma Chao. And when he came here at this time, he was still holding a wooden knife, all of which showed Ma Chao's identity, so Ma Riyan asked this question.

"Exactly, is Mr. Weng Mr. Weng?"

Uncle Weng is Ma Riyan's cousin, and Ma Chao heard it from Liu Wei. As for Ma Riyan's other situations, he didn't know anything about it.

"Yes, I didn't expect to meet Meng Qi today. I have something to ask Meng Qi about, and it is inconvenient to talk about it here and now. If Meng Qi has leisure tomorrow, please come to the house to talk about it! ”

People say that they have something to do with themselves, and they don't have a big deal, so it's impossible to excuse themselves. Looking at Ma Riyan's age, he should be about the same as Ma Teng, "So I will bother Mr. Weng!" ”

"It's me who asked Meng Qi about something, why bother, if you want to talk about it, it's me who bothered Meng Qi!"

"No, no, Mr. has tormented me, and I will come to the house tomorrow!"

"Good! Then I will wait for Meng Qi in the house! ”

Then, Ma Riyan told Ma Chao his address again. When Ma Chao heard this, his home was not far from him, so he was naturally easy to find. After saying that, the two said goodbye to each other.

Although Ma Chao still doesn't know what Ma Riyan is looking for him, it doesn't prevent him from going, anyway, if he goes, he will know what he wants. As for the rest, there will be no danger to his life, he is a scribe, and he has no grudges against himself, so naturally there is no threat. Besides, this is the capital, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, although he has no official position now, he is also the prince's husband, and it is impossible for anyone to attack him. Even if there is, it must be weighed first, and then a careful plan must be formulated.

On the morning of the second day, Ma Chao went to the appointment as scheduled. Ma Riyan saw Ma Chao, "Meng Qi, sit!" ”

"Mr. Xie Weng!"

"I don't know what Mr. Weng is looking for me?"

"I know that you will be curious to ask about this first! Then let me ask you first, who is Meng Qi? ”

Ma Chaoxin said, didn't you ask knowingly, you said it yesterday, and you forgot it today? But he still replied: "I am a person from Fufeng Maoling!" ”

Ma Riyan nodded when he heard this, "Meng Qi knows where I am from?"

This Ma Chao really doesn't know what to do, but when Ma Riyan asks like this, can he also be ......

"I really don't know."

"I'm also a Fufeng Maoling person!"

Sure enough, when Ma Chao heard it, this Ma Riyan was still his own countryman, no wonder he was looking for himself, this countryman saw his fellow countryman, and his eyes were full of tears, but Ma Riyan didn't seem to be looking for himself for this.

I heard Ma Riyan say again: "Dare to ask Meng Qi's ancestor, but my Han Fubo general Ma Yuangong?" ”

"Yes, the ancestor is Ma Yuangong!"

Okay, you Ma Riyan even know this, who said it, Ma Chao thought to himself.

"The ancestor is also the Great Han Fubo General Ma Yuangong!"

Surprised, I have to be surprised, Ma Chao never thought that this Ma Riyan was actually a descendant of the Ma family. They are both ancestors, and those two are relatives. Especially in the case of the ancients, no matter how far or near, as long as you are an ancestor, then your kinship will not be able to escape.

Ma Riyan took out his family tree and asked Ma Chao to watch it, and sure enough, this Ma Riyan is an ancestor of his own, and they are all Ma Yuangong.

"Meng Qi, your family should also have this thing, I wonder if you have seen it?"

"I really haven't seen this, and my father hasn't shown it to me."

Ma Riyan smiled, and Ma Chao then laughed too. It's too normal that I haven't seen it, firstly, this pedigree is not something to show, and it is impossible to take it out without anything, and secondly, my own family has never recognized my relatives, so naturally I have never taken it out. If you want to say that the family tree will be seen sooner or later, you are like the royal family tree, which is in charge of the Zongzheng, but like Ma Teng and Ma Riyan, the family tree is kept by the head of each generation, so that the clan can recognize each other. So when Ma Chao takes over the position of head of the family, Ma Teng will naturally pass on the family tree to him.

Ma Chao doesn't think that his family has no genealogy, Ma Yuan's descendants should have branches, and his own family must also have one, unless there is an accident and the family tree is lost, or this thing is useless to others except for the people of his own family.

"Meng Qi, you will see the family tree sooner or later! According to my calculations, I am your uncle, and you are my nephew! ”

This is good, just like this, I have an uncle, although it is a distant relative, but it is also a relative, Ma Chaoxin said. Ma Riyan naturally won't take advantage of himself, and he said that he is his uncle, so it will basically not be bad.

"Uncle is above, please bow to the little nephew!"

"Virtuous nephew, please get up quickly, the virtuous nephew must come to the house for a banquet in the evening!"

After all, Ma Chao still has to teach Liu Wei to practice martial arts in the afternoon, so he can't stay here all the time.

"Definitely, the little nephew must come!"

My uncle is looking for me, and I have to come even if I don't want to, let alone I want to come.

"The little nephew will write a letter to his father and ask him to rush to Luoyang as soon as possible!"

"That's great!"

Ma Riyan prepared a pen and paper for Ma Chao, and Ma Chao wrote a letter to Ma Teng, the general content of which was that my son met my descendant of the Ma family in Luoyang, who was the uncle of the son, and asked his father to find time to come to Beijing. As for the rest, there is no need for Ma Chao to say more, and it is impossible for Ma Teng to come over without bringing a family tree. And Ma Chao also knew that after Ma Teng received the letter, he would definitely come as soon as possible, after all, he was also a person who recognized his relatives, but unfortunately his family was scarce.

Ma Chao has only heard that his father has a big brother and an uncle, but he has never seen it. Maybe my father can have a connection with the uncle, but the uncle doesn't seem to have any contact with his family.

After the letter was written, the people of Ma Fu rushed to Longxi to deliver the letter, and his father was too familiar with his own words, so naturally he didn't need any proof of the token. After the letter was sent away, Ma Riyan told Ma Chao about the other people of the Ma family line he knew, such as the master of scripture Ma Rong, Ma Riyan is Ma Rong's family, so Ma Rong is a person of Ma Chao's grandfather's generation, but unfortunately the old man is long gone.

Ma Rong's famous Ma Chao naturally has also heard of it, it is a famous scripture master of the Han Dynasty, Lu Zhi and Zheng Xuan are his disciples, but I didn't expect him to be also a descendant of Ma Yuan.

After chatting about the same, Ma Chao got up and said goodbye, after all, he couldn't delay the martial arts practice of the prince Liu Wei.

"Uncle, the little nephew is leaving!"

"Okay, Meng Qi, you go, don't forget to come back in the evening!"

"Little nephew, please rest assured!"

is also a descendant of the Ma family, so it is natural to be closer and closer, and both of them think so. The descendants of each generation of the Ma family have not forgotten to make the family glorious and restore the glory of the past, but there has never been a generation that has really revitalized the family, so each descendant of each generation must support each other, so that they may really be able to achieve their unfulfilled wishes.

In the evening, Ma Chao came to the banquet on time. But this time he bought some gifts, the first time he didn't know the relationship between Ma Riyan and himself, so he didn't take the liberty to send things. And he also knew before that Ma Riyan was a good scholar and a real scholar, and it was not good to take the liberty of sending things.

But the second time he came was different, Ma Chao, as a junior, should be filial to his elders, so he sent something to show respect. Ma Riyan can also understand that Ma Chao, as his own son and nephew, sent something to himself, and naturally he would not say anything.

During the banquet, the two talked a lot, such as how Ma Chao was summoned from Dunhuang to Luoyang and became Liu Wei's teacher of martial arts, but Ma Riyan said that what he liked to hear most was Ma Chao's exchange meeting at Yingchuan Academy.

So Ma Chao can't help it, his uncle likes to listen, so let's talk about it myself. In Ma Chao's view, he has never shown off the affairs of the Yingchuan Academy Exchange Conference, but he feels embarrassed when he thinks about it, and he will never take the initiative to talk about it under normal circumstances. But today, this situation makes him helpless.

As a reader, Ma Riyan really likes Ma Chao to say this. Of course, he didn't mean to show off, besides, it was just the two of them during the banquet, who did he show off? Ma Riyan just felt that the descendants of the Ma clan could achieve such achievements, and he was also very honored, which should be said to be the glory of all the Ma clansmen.

In fact, it was from that time that he paid attention to Ma Chao. Because Ma Chao said in Yingchuan Academy that he was Fufeng Ma Chao and Ma Mengqi, and then Ma Riyan inquired carefully, Ma Chao was really from Fufeng Maoling, and he was from the same place. So he had to pay attention, and what he didn't expect was that Ma Chao actually entered Beijing this time like himself, and he was also the gentleman of Liu Wei, of course, there is a difference, that is, he has other official positions, but Ma Chao does not.

Originally, after he heard about it, he wanted to find a chance to have a good chat with Ma Chao, but he didn't expect to meet him by chance, so he invited him to the house, and asked carefully, sure enough, they were all descendants of the Ma family. He is still his own son and nephew, which makes Ma Riyan very happy. The Ma family can have such a young and handsome man as Ma Chao, I believe that it will return to its former glory.

There are thousands of cups of wine for a confidant, Ma Riyan is happy that the Ma family can have such an afterlife, he usually doesn't drink too much, he drank a lot tonight, Ma Chao persuaded him to drink less. After the last, he finally stopped drinking, and at that time, because he couldn't drink it because he wanted to, didn't he see that he was drunk on the case, Ma Chao could only smile helplessly and shook his head. Ma Riyan is a well-educated person, under normal circumstances, he would never be so out of shape, you can imagine how happy he is today, and of course he can let go in front of his children and nephews.

When Ma Riyan was not drunk, he probably expected that he was about to get drunk, so he took out an inkstone from his collection and gave it to Ma Chao. Ma Chao is his own son and nephew, and when he sees his juniors for the first time, he naturally wants to send something as an elder. And as a reader, he really doesn't have anything else, but he loves to collect inkstones, so he took out one and gave it to Ma Chao.

The things sent by the elders naturally can't be shirked, so Ma Chao accepted it after thanking him, he can feel that Ma Riyan, an uncle, recognizes himself, appreciates himself and expects himself, and thinks that he really has a long way to go.

Ma Riyan was handed over to his subordinates to take care of, he just didn't drink enough and drank too much, so it was good to rest more. And Ma Chao took the inkstone back to his mansion, and he thought as he walked, this time it was not in vain, and he took the square inkstone home.
