Chapter 96 Ma Chao comes to see Ma Riju
Ma Chao began to teach Liu Bian martial arts, and he also asked craftsmen outside the palace to build two wooden knives, one big and one small, which was just right for him and Liu Bian.
Ma Chao is teaching Liu Bian martial arts seriously every day, and Liu Bian is also learning hard and hard. In Ma Chao's opinion, it is not easy for a prince to do this.
After resting, Ma Chao asked Liu Bian: "Who is the gentleman who is the prince who is knowledgeable?"
"The same surname as Mr. Ma is also a Mr. Ma, named Rizhe."
Ma Riyan? I heard that Ma Chao hadn't reacted yet when I first heard about this, but after thinking about it carefully, he knew it. It seemed that there was such a person. He was the word he had never known before. Today he had gained knowledge and the word pronounced "low". Ma Chao nodded, maybe he might see it one day.
"Sir, do you want to see Mr. Ma?"
"No, sir is just curious."
"oh."
"Okay, continue to practice martial arts!"
"promise!"
Liu Bian did not dare to neglect, so he began to pick up the wooden knife and learn the sword technique with Ma Chao.
One day, Ma Chao really met Ma Riying, who was going to teach Liu Bian's swordsmanship, and Ma Riying had just come out of Liu Bian. When he saw Ma Chao, he hurriedly asked, "Is it Ma Chao and Ma Mengqi from Maoling in Fufeng?"
He had known that the emperor had found a martial arts teacher for Liu Bian, Ma Chao. When he came here at this time, he was holding a wooden knife, and all of them showed Ma Chao's identity, so Ma Riyi had this question.
"That's right, is it Mr. Uncle Weng?"
Uncle Weng is the face of Ma Riyi, which Ma Chao heard from Liu Bian. As for some other situations of Ma Riyi, he didn't know anything about it.
"Yes, I didn't expect to meet Meng Qi today. I was about to ask Meng Qi about something, but it was inconvenient to talk about it at this time. If Meng Qi is free tomorrow, please come to the mansion to talk about it!"
People say that if you have something to do with me, you have nothing to do with me, so it is impossible to refuse. Judging from Ma Riyan’s age, he should be about the same as Ma Teng. “I’ll bother Mr. Weng in this way!”
"I asked Meng Qi for something, so why would I disturb you? If I wanted to disturb you, I was disturbing Meng Qi!"
"No, no, sir, I'll be here for a while tomorrow!"
"Okay! Then I will wait for Meng Qi in the mansion!"
Then, Ma Riyi told Ma Chao about his address. When Ma Chao heard that his house was not far from him, he naturally found it very easy for him to find it. After saying that, the two said goodbye to each other.
Although Ma Chao didn't know what Ma Riying was looking for him, it didn't prevent him from going there. Anyway, he would know it after going there. As for the rest, there would be no danger to life. He, Ma Riying, was a scholar who had no grudges and grudges with him, so naturally there was no threat. Besides, this is the capital city, under the feet of the emperor, although he has no official position, he is also the prince's gentleman, and no one can attack him. Even if there is, he must first weigh it and then formulate a meticulous plan.
On the morning of the next day, Ma Chao went to the appointment as scheduled. Ma Rishi saw Ma Chao, "Meng Qi, sit down!"
"Thank you Mr. Uncle Weng!"
"I wonder what Mr. Uncle Weng is asking me for?"
"I knew you would be curious about asking this first! Then let me ask you first, who is Meng Qi?"
Ma Chaoxin said, "Didn't you ask me knowingly? You said it yesterday, but you forgot today?"
Ma Riyi nodded after hearing this, "Meng Qi knows where I am from?
Ma Chao really doesn't know about this, but after Ma Rizhe asked this, could he say he was...
"I don't know this."
"I am also from Maoling, Fufeng!"
Sure enough, when Ma Chao heard this, he was still his fellow villager. No wonder he looked for him. When this fellow villager saw him, he was crying. But it seemed that Ma Riying didn't look for him for this.
He heard Ma Riyi say again, "Dare you ask, "Is the ancestor Meng Qi the one who is my great Han general Fubo?"
"Yes, my ancestor was Ma Yuangong!"
OK, you, Ma Riyi even knows this, but who did you say it? Ma Chao thought.
"The ancestors were also the great Han general Fubo, Ma Yuangong!"
Surprised, I have to be surprised. Ma Chao never thought that Ma Riyi was also a descendant of the Ma family. They were all ancestors, and the two were relatives. Especially for the ancients, no matter how far or near you were an ancestor, your relatives would not be able to escape.
Ma Riying took out his family tree and asked Ma Chao to watch it. Sure enough, Ma Riying was from the same ancestor as him, all of whom were Ma Yuangong.
"Meng Qi, your family should have this thing, I wonder if you have seen it?"
"I really haven't seen this before, and my father hasn't seen it for me."
Ma Riying smiled, and Ma Chao laughed. It was normal that he hadn't seen it before. First, this genealogy is not something to show off, so it's impossible to take it out if you're fine. Second, his family has never recognized relatives, so he naturally hasn't taken it out. If you want to see the genealogy sooner or later, it's just that you'll see the genealogy of the royal family. However, like Ma Teng and Ma Riying's family, the genealogy is kept by the heads of each generation so that the clan members can recognize each other. So when Ma Chao takes over as the head of the family, Ma Teng will naturally pass on the genealogy to him.
Ma Chao doesn't think that his family has no family tree. Ma Yuan's descendants should have branches, and he must have this branch. Unless an accident is lost, this thing is of no use to others except for being useful to people in his 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!"
Now, in just a moment, I have an uncle. Although he is a distant relative, he is not a relative. Ma Chaoxin said that Ma Riyan would naturally not take advantage of him, but he said he was his uncle, so he would basically not be bad.
"Uncle is here, please accept my nephew's greeting!"
"Good nephew, please get up quickly. You must come to the house for a banquet in the evening!"
After all, Ma Chao had to teach Liu Bian martial arts in the afternoon, so he couldn't stay here with Ma Rizhao.
"It must be, my nephew will definitely come!"
My uncle is looking for me, and even if I don’t want to come, I have to come, let alone I want to come.
"Nephew will write a letter to my father and ask him to arrive in Luoyang as soon as possible!"
“So great!”
Ma Riyi prepared paper and pen for Ma Chao. Ma Chao picked up the pen and wrote a letter to Ma Teng. The general content was that he met my descendant of the Ma family in Luoyang. He was my uncle of the clan and asked his father to find time to come to Beijing. As for the rest, there was no need for Ma Chao to say much. It was impossible for Ma Teng to come without a family tree when he came. 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 relative, but unfortunately his family had few people.
Ma Chao has only heard that his father has an elder brother and he has an elder uncle, but he has never seen him. Maybe his father has a relationship with his uncle, but it seems that he has not seen any contact with his uncle and his family.
After the letter was written, the servants of the Ma Mansion rushed to Longxi to deliver the letter. His father was too familiar with his words, so naturally he didn't need any token of proof. After the letter was sent away, Ma Riyi told Ma Chao about other people from the Ma family he knew, such as Ma Rong, a master of Confucianism. Ma Riyi was a clan of Ma Rong, so Ma Rong was from the generation of Ma Chao's grandfather, but unfortunately the old man was no longer here.
Ma Rong's name Ma Chao naturally also heard of it. He was a famous master of classics in the Han Dynasty. Lu Zhi and Zheng Xuan were both his disciples, but he didn't expect that he was also a descendant of Ma Yuan.
After almost the chat, Ma Chao stood up and said goodbye. After all, it could not delay the practice of Prince Liu Bian's martial arts.
"Uncle, my nephew is leaving now!"
"Okay, Mengqi, go, don't forget to come back tonight!"
"My nephew must, please don't worry, uncle!"
As descendants of the Ma family, they naturally have to be close to each other. Both of them have the same idea. The descendants of each generation and each branch of the Ma family have not forgotten to make the family glory and restore the glory of the past, but no generation has truly revitalized the family, so every descendant of each generation must support each other, so that they may really achieve their unfulfilled wishes.
In the evening, Ma Chao came to the banquet on time. However, this time he bought some gifts. The first time he didn't know what Ma Riying had to do with him, so he didn't go to deliver things rashly. Moreover, he also knew before that Ma Riying was a good person and was a real scholar, so it was not good to go to deliver things rashly.
But the second time I came here was different. As a junior, Ma Chao should be filial to his elders, so he gave some things to show respect. Ma Riyi could also understand that as his son and nephew, Ma Chao would naturally not say anything.
During the meal, the two talked a lot, like how Ma Chao was summoned from Dunhuang to Luoyang and became Liu Bian's scholar-in-law. However, Ma Riyan said that what he liked to hear the most was Ma Chao's exchange meeting at Yingchuan Academy.
So Ma Chao had no choice. His uncle liked to listen to it, so let's talk about it. In Ma Chao's opinion, he has never shown off the matter of the Yingchuan Academy Exchange Conference. Instead, he feels embarrassed when he thinks about it. Generally speaking, he will never talk about it on his own initiative. But today, this situation makes him unable to do so.
As a scholar, Ma Riying really likes Ma Chao to say this. Of course he has no intention of showing off. Besides, there is only two of them during the meal, who will he show off? Ma Riying just feels that he is very honored to be able to achieve such achievements by the descendants of the Ma family. This should be said to be the honor of all the Ma clans.
In fact, it was from that time that he paid attention to Ma Chao. Because Ma Chao said in Yingchuan Academy that Ma Chao was Fufeng Ma Chao and Ma Mengqi. After Ma Riyan found out carefully, Ma Chao was indeed from Maoling, Fufeng, and was from the same place as him. So he had to pay attention. What he didn't expect was that Ma Chao's visit to Beijing was like himself and also became Liu Bian's husband. Of course, there was a different place, that is, he had other official positions, but Ma Chao did not.
Originally, after hearing this, he wanted to find an opportunity to have a good chat with Ma Chao, but he didn't expect to meet him by chance, so he invited him to the mansion and asked carefully. It turned out that they were all descendants of the Ma family. He was still his own nephew, which made Ma Riyan very happy. If Ma Chao had such a young hero in the Ma family, I believe that he would return to his former glory.
When I drink a thousand cups of wine, Ma Riyi was born happy that the Ma family could have such a person. He didn't drink too much, so he drank a lot tonight. Ma Chao repeatedly advised him to drink less. In the end, he finally stopped drinking. At that time, because he wanted to drink, he couldn't drink anymore. Did he get drunk on the desk without watching it? Ma Chao could only smile helplessly and shook his head. Ma Riyi is a well-educated man. Under normal circumstances, he would never lose his composure. It is conceivable how happy he was today, and of course he could be relaxed in front of his sons and nephews.
When Ma Riyi was not drunk, he might have expected that he would be drunk, so he took out a piece of inkstone he collected and gave it to Ma Chao. As his nephew, Ma Chao was his first time meeting his juniors and elders naturally had to give it to Ma Chao. As a scholar, he really didn't have anything else, but he liked to collect inkstones, so he took out a piece and gave it to Ma Chao.
Of course, the things given by the elders cannot be refused, so Ma Chao accepted them after thanking him. He could feel that Ma Riyan, his uncle, recognized him, and his expectations for him. I think he really has a long way to go.
Ma Riyan was left to his servants for his care. He was just unable to drink and drank too much, so he could rest more. Ma Chao took the inkstone back to his mansion. While he walked, he thought that this time he didn't come in vain, so he even took Fang inkstone home.
