Ma Liang not only studied hard as always, but also decided to go out of the road of the official and glorify his ancestors.

In order to further his studies, he also signed up for the entrance examination of Lumen Academy, and with his profound knowledge, he won the honor of first place in the examination.

Lumen Academy is the best private academy in Jingzhou, according to the regulations of the academy, those who are admitted to the top three of Lumen Academy can be exempted from tuition.

Although the tuition fee is not a large amount, and the Ma family is not bad for money, the focus of Ma Liang's admission to the free student is not money, but a great honor!

You must know that Lumen Academy pays attention to the quality of students, which is the purpose of running a school that would rather be lacking than excessive, even if your family has the most money, you can't buy a place in Lumen Academy.

Even Liu Qi, the son of Liu Biao, wanted to enter Lumen Academy to study but couldn't!

And Ma Liang not only easily entered the academy to study, but also for free, and his articles were also highly praised by Pang Degong, Huang Chengyan, and Sima Zheng!

This time Ma Liang's outstanding performance is very much in line with the mind of the Ma patriarch, he is really happy in his heart, and he thinks that this is the reputation of his "good godson".

Therefore, the Ma patriarch's reward for Ma Liang is very rich, and the requirements for Ma Liang, no matter how big or small, are almost 100 obedient!

Of course, the premise is that Ma Liang did not make excessive demands, nor was it an unreasonable request, otherwise, with the temperament of the horse patriarch, he would not agree!

This kind of generous treatment makes the youngest son Ma Jian very hot, and it has also become a motivation for him to study seriously.

Because of the large number of sons, the horse patriarch has a lot of choice for the inheritance of his patriarch's position.

Maybe Marven went against his will, maybe Marven was indeed not prestige enough to convince the public, Ma Zhou had the idea of choosing the patriarch to stand on the merits, although he was satisfied with Ma Liang's performance, but he still wanted to investigate for a while.

It is very dangerous to choose the king of a country! This waste grows up and grows young, and it has always been the way to take trouble!

The inheritance of a family is not so harmful, but it is still very possible to cause confrontation and discord between family members!

Therefore, Ma Zhou didn't want to show this meaning too early, but he didn't propose to pass on the patriarch to the boss Ma Bochang!

Ma Jian is only less than three years younger than the fourth brother Ma Liang, the two are close in age and have the best relationship, Ma Liang entered the Lumen Academy to study, Ma Jian was not far behind, and secretly made up his mind to be admitted to the Lumen Academy.

After another two years, Ma Jian was also fourteen years old, and he was also qualified to take the entrance examination of Lumen Academy, so he signed up without hesitation.

Because Ma Liang was already a student of Lumen Academy, he knew that Ma Jian had also applied for the Lumen Academy, and he also tutored Ma Jian for a few days.

Ma Jian lived up to his high expectations and was admitted to Lumen Academy with the fifth place, although the tuition fee is inevitable, but it is also a great honor.

After the completion of Ma Tan's exam, after reading the papers, Ma Tan's article knowledge is still quite inferior to that of his brother Ma Liang, and Sima Zheng, who has never said bad things about people, couldn't help but comment:

"The five brothers of the Ma family, each of them are extraordinary, the Ma family is five constants, and the white eyebrows are the best!" As a result, the saying "Ma's five constants, white eyebrows are the best" spread in Jingzhou.

……

……

Ma Tan and Ma Liang came back from Wuling Mountain, and only then did they arrive on the bank of the Majia River, and some clansmen had already reported that the Ma family knew.

The two brothers walked into the house with their front feet, and the third brother, Uncle Ma, often came over immediately, saying that he had prepared a banquet at home to wash the dust for the two younger brothers.

Ma Yan's third brother, Ma Shuchang, is the controller of the family business, and if he wants to invite his brothers to dinner, only he can do it, because the other brothers are originally eating in the same pot.

At that time, the big family was generally four generations in the same house, and within four generations, it was rare to divide the family, because the living conditions at that time were still relatively poor, and it was necessary to concentrate human, financial and material resources in order to increase the ability to survive.

Therefore, the Ma patriarch will not split up for the time being, but because Uncle Ma is often out and about all year round and busy with business, although he has a family, he has been married for two years and has not come out, that is to say, Ma Laosan has no children.

"There are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is great!" In order to reunite Uncle Ma and his wife, the patriarch Ma personally arranged that Uncle Ma often settled his own small family near the shop, and had already started cooking independently.

On the contrary, the eldest brother Ma Bochang, although he has married a wife and had children a long time ago, and is already a big family, but because he has not been separated, he still eats in the same pot with his parents.

Even Ma Zhongchang, because of the lack of housing, only built a beautiful small courtyard on the left side of the ancestral house, and the family of five lived, but he still came to the hall to eat together, or took it back from the kitchen to eat.

Although the relationship between their brothers is good, it has not yet reached this point, and the third brother Uncle Ma has often been very good at things since he was a child, and he is very likeable.

After doing business, dealing with those treacherous businessmen all the year round, after a long time, it is inevitable to develop the habit of "no profit can not afford to be early".

Uncle Ma often mixes well in shopping malls, and he also uses some unconventional means to occupy a lot of local market share.

But the shopping mall pays attention to harmony and wealth, and the Ma family can't eat alone, through competition and concessions, and constantly reshuffle, a new balance has been reached.

The Ma family's business has also reached a bottleneck, and most of the family members are very satisfied with Uncle Ma's performance, but there are also a few people who think that Ma Laosan is only a few moments, and now his donkey skills are exhausted!

Uncle Ma is often unwilling to be lonely, even if there is no rumor from the clan, he will find a way to open up the situation and earn more money for the Ma family.

But Uncle Ma often knows that the existing local market is saturated, and the only way to open up the situation is to open up new markets.

Through investigation and comprehensive analysis, Uncle Ma has long been interested in the huge potential market of Wuling Barbarians, but there is no way to open up the joints.

This time, Ma Liang and Ma Jian traveled together, Wuling Mountain was a place they had to pass through, and they had the opportunity to deal with the barbarians, so Ma Xian asked the two of them to inquire about the news.

Time flies so fast, in a blink of an eye, it is the end of winter, the wax moon is approaching, Uncle Ma's family business is still not improving, he pinned his hopes on Ma Liang and them, and he was very anxious to wait at home.

Finally, when the Ma Liang brothers went home, Ma Xian wanted to get the news of the barbarians for the first time!

If you inquire directly at the dinner table at home, it is impossible, because my father is not silent about "food is silent, sleep is silent!" The rules are very strict!

As soon as he had an idea, Ma Xian simply took their brothers back to his house in the name of catching the wind.
