Martin wanted to hand over the mill on the bank of Weishui to Ma Jun to manage, and the reason why he didn't send someone to notify him and finish it was mainly based on two considerations: first, the income of the mill was quite rich, and this kid's family was poor. Second, this matter was originally Ma Ben's suggestion, and it must be solemn in order to show favor to Ma Ben City.

Ma Ben is Martin's eldest brother and the son of the former Ma clan chief, but his father died early, and Ma Ben was still in his prime at that time, and it was impossible to inherit his throne, so he had to reluctantly die as a brother. As soon as Martin came to power, he immediately divided the plan, with the intention of passing on the throne to his son in the future, rather than following his brother's last words and passing it on to Ma Ben.

However, Ma Ben gradually grew up, good at breeding, and his power and prestige gradually approached the patriarch, on the contrary, Martin's eldest boy died young, and he had to wait until he was in his forties to have another son, named Ma Qi. Ma Ben took the opportunity to instigate his uncle, since the world is too peaceful, it is better to let Ma Qi study at home, and he will be an official in the future - as long as Ma Qi is blown away, won't the position of patriarch inevitably fall back into his hands?

Martin wasn't stupid, he knew what his nephew coveted, but he didn't have a good solution. On the one hand, he is old and has little energy, and the position of patriarch will inevitably be handed over soon, and on the other hand, he also hopes that his son can enter the eunuch road and use the lintel to vibrate the family. So the final result of the game was Martin's promise, once Ma Qi got the official position, he would give up the position of patriarch to Ma Ben, but Ma Ben had to promise that in the future, Ma Qi Zhishi could also retire as the patriarch.

In fact, on this point, Ma Ben agreed or not. Whether or not to keep commitments. It doesn't matter. If Ma Qi can really be an official, even if he is just an official of a hundred stones, if he wants the position of the patriarch, it can be said that he can do it with his hands, does Ma Ben still dare to fight with him?

However, for the sake of internal stability and the peaceful transfer of clan power, the old man must still sell his face to some extent. Therefore, since it was Ma Ben's suggestion, he took it seriously. not only summoned Ma Jun in person, but also allowed Ma Ben to stand beside him.

However, under questioning, Ma Jun stammered that he was unwilling to accept the assignment to manage the mill on the bank of Weishui. Ma Jun hurriedly bowed down to explain, but in a hurry and fear, he stammered even more. I can't say anything at all.

Ma Ben had no choice but to run out to play the round, saying that it was all my fault. Without discussing it with Ma Jun in advance, I made a suggestion to your uncle. Ma Jun is not good at words, and let me ask him what his reasons and troubles are, and then report to my uncle. Martin snorted coldly, don't look away. Ma Ben hurriedly pulled Ma Jun aside, comforted him in a low voice, don't worry, say slowly-why don't you refuse to agree to such a beautiful difference?

Oh, that's right—"Wen Ru wants to go to Luoyang to apply for the imperial examination, but is it?" "But boy, you are not that material, and if you go, you will go in vain, it is better to stay in the clan and manage the mill, and your family's life will definitely be improved.

Ma Jun took a long breath and tried his best to relax his tension, and then slowly said to Ma Ben: "Uncle's good intentions, Jun is very grateful, and then ...... The order of my mother, I dare not disobey it...... "It's my mother who wants me to study well and become an official, so I have to go to the imperial examination."

Ma Benyi frowned: "Your mother is not very wise and ......" But thinking about it in front of his son, his mother is not smart enough, which doesn't seem to be very suitable, so he had to change his words: "I know, because your mother and son are often bullied by the clansmen, so I want you to be the official and slaughter, and Xuan He is flying." "Your mother just wants her son to come out of breath, and in the future, she can vent her anger and beat all the people who have bullied her. Why bother?

So he lowered his voice and said: "This imperial examination, my brother (Martin's son Ma Qi) will definitely go to ......" And several of your classmates, such as Chen Su or something, have also applied to the clan. As long as Ma Qi passes the examination and becomes an official, Uncle Martin's wish will be fulfilled, then he will inevitably step down from the position of patriarch and let me inherit it. When I become the patriarch and have great power, I will definitely take good care of your mother and son, and at that time, will anyone dare to bully you? Besides, if you manage the mill, many people will have to bribe you and compliment you in order to cut the queue to grind wheat, and you will naturally tremble.

Persuaded bitterly, but Ma Jun said: "This bird's nest is small, small and ambitious, and Honghu is not ......."

What did Ma Ben hear? You're still comparing yourself to the birds...... Dare to love, not only your mother's order, you yourself have the desire to go to the exam. That's right, man, who doesn't want to be an official? Children, how many people don't think they will be able to get ahead? I still wanted to persuade a few more words, so I heard Ma Jun arch his hand and said: "Uncle, if you can persuade your mother......"

Ma Ben said forget it, although I used to be good friends with your father, I really can't stand your mother, so I don't want to persuade her. Turning his head to report to Martin, he said that it was Ma Jun's mother who wanted her son to be an official, so she applied to take the imperial examination, and for this reason he was forced to resign from the post of managing the mill - "Uncle can summon his mother to admonish him." ”

Martin glared and said I'm not going to do it!

Ma Jun's mother, it is said that her mother's family is not low, and her ancestors used to be officials, but not long after she got married, her relatives were scattered in the turmoil, so she lost her backer. At first, I saw that it was a real lady, who was humble and had no scheming, but then her husband died, and she was deceived and bullied by the clansmen, but the girls suddenly rebounded and became a famous shrew in the clan.

People are orphans and widows, it's okay to bully and bully, but if they are really forced to die, the whole clan is not good-looking. As for Ma's mother, anyway, the family property has been wiped out, and she has a minor child, but she is fearless and dares to go against anyone. So Ma Ben didn't dare to persuade her, Martin didn't dare to say no, but there was no need to ask for trouble and let this mud get wet.

So he waved his sleeves: "That's it, let's talk about it." "Could it be that without Ma Jun, no one in the clan will be able to manage the mill? If there is really something wrong with the waterwheel, he or Ma Ben gives an order, and he Ma Jun dares to come over to help repair it?

Ma Ben glanced at Ma Jun, who was trembling next to him, and said in his heart that it was a trivial matter not being able to help this kid, but I gave advice to the patriarch. There will be rumors of it. If you stop there. Then my reputation will be affected. There are many people who covet the position of patriarch, as long as I mess up one thing, or just can't do one thing, there will inevitably be small people who are ready to take advantage of the opportunity.

So he simply suggested that Ma Jun should go to the imperial examination - "If it fails, it can stop the delusions of his mother and son; If it can be done, will it not be the blessing of the whole race? "I'm not afraid of 10,000 for anything, just in case. It's just a little bit of money to go to Luoyang, and I gave it a big deal. Besides, there are still several people who have to go to Luoyang to take the exam anyway, and it won't take much trouble to add him to Ma Jun.

Martin frowned, muttered for a long time, suddenly raised his head, and waved his hand at Ma Jun: "You can go." "Get out of here, and let us talk about it again. Ma Jun was uncomfortable there, and when he heard the words, he immediately jumped away with his head in his arms.

Take a few runs. After leaving the patriarch's house, he soon returned to his home school. Just in time for the end of the morning break. In fact, most people in these days have two meals a day, and there is no habit of taking a lunch break, unless the elderly are mentally tired, they are used to taking a nap in the afternoon - or just like Marven, the mind is too heavy, resulting in unstable sleep at night, and it is necessary to make up for sleep during the day.

Therefore, the teaching time of Ma's family school is from the morning hour after the morning meal to the beginning of the afternoon, and then there is a quarter of an hour of self-study time - because Teacher Marven has to sleep during the day - and then from the end of the afternoon to the time of Shen, just before the evening eclipse.

Ma Jun recited the "Analects" in a low voice, but in fact, his mind was flying all over the world, and he spent a whole afternoon like this. During this period, the "assistant teacher" Chen Jun also came to their group, asked a few questions, explained a few difficult points, and asked a few juniors - definitely not Ma Jun, it is a waste of time to listen to his endorsement.

finally stayed up until the end of school, Ma Jun had the courage to find Marven again, asked for "The First Words of Physics", cherished it in his arms, and hurried home. Mark caught up with him and said you should help me fix that wooden cart!

Mark's playfulness is very famous in the family, and the reason why he is friendly with Ma Jun is of course due to the entrustment of his father Ma Ben, but more importantly, Ma Jun can always make something new and interesting for him to play with - otherwise he would not have helped Ma Jun to ask Chen Jun for a miscellaneous book such as "The First Words of Physics". For example, not long ago, Ma Jun cut wood into pieces and wheels, and made him a toy car, and there was a wooden man on the car, and when the car was moving, the wooden man could rotate automatically. Mark sees it as a treasure.

However, for Ma Jun, it was just a failed experiment, he thought about making a guide car made by the legendary Yellow Emperor when he broke the Chi You, as long as the direction was set, no matter how the car went up and downhill, how to turn, the wooden man on the car always pointed to the south...... As a result, the effect of the finished product is: when the car goes straight, the person turns in circles, and the car turns and the person turns......

Yesterday, the toy car was broken up by Ma Ben, and he also scolded his son for not doing his job. In fact, Ma Ben has always doted on his son, and there is no need to raise Mark into a pillar of the family, and he does not plan to pass on the position of patriarch in the future - the inheritance I have earned is enough for my son to eat and wear for a lifetime, as long as he grows up peacefully, and then honestly marries a wife and has children, and the family will be passed on to the next generation - but the question is how old are you, and you are still addicted to this kind of children's toys, which is too uncompromising......

So Mark came to Ma Jun early this morning with a piece of wood, begging him to help him get a good rest.

Ma Jun agreed, but in fact, all he was thinking about was the book "The First Words of Physics". When she returned home, Ma Mu had already prepared the evening meal, just a pot of corn rice and a few pieces of pickled vegetables. Ma Junsan finished pulling it in two bites, so he hurried to the northwest of the courtyard, and opened "The First Words of Physics" again to read it in the afterglow of the setting sun.

- Fortunately, Ma's mother is illiterate, she can't read a basket of big characters, whether her son is reading the Bible or reading some miscellaneous books, she can't understand, as long as her son doesn't fiddle with all kinds of tools, willing to study steadily, then quite satisfied.

What is written in the book is that among the three world models, the "Xuanye Theory" is the most agreed, and there are explanations and additions. Why is the earth spherical? There is all kinds of evidence such as "what you see at sea, sail first and then ship". Why, then, do people on earth not feel it clearly? Because this "earth" is so big-(To be continued......)

PS: Hey, didn't anyone see Marven's son yesterday? I'm so sad...... There's another one today, but it seems to be a bit revealing of age......

Tomorrow is the National Day holiday, I wish my friends a happy holiday. Anyway, this National Day plan to take the cub out to play, I'm afraid it's difficult to guarantee a daily change, and please forgive friends, I will try my best, I will try my best.
