"The name of the ancestor is Chong." Although the gentleman was very puzzled, he still honestly said the name of his ancestor, "The little grandfather can send someone to the north to inquire." ”

"If you have a genealogy, why don't you go back to the Northlands."

The middle-aged man smiled bitterly: "The little grandfather doesn't know anything." At that time, it was the ancestor who took the three brothers of my ancestor to leave the sect and went south, and the ancestor died of illness in Weizhou, after which the three brothers each left with their share of property. My ancestral daughter's family is in Zhangzhou, so I came directly here. However, the road was not smooth, and when crossing the river, he encountered water thieves, most of his belongings were lost, and the family tokens he had received at that time were gone, leaving only the family tree that the ancestor hid closely. “

Sima Ji nodded, he probably understood.

Generally, when the clan is divided instead of being expelled from the clan, a token will be obtained from the main branch, which is an important certificate for returning to the clan or reconnecting with the main clan in the future.

The Wei family on the other side of Zhang Village also has its own ancestral hall, and a wooden sect plaque brought out from the main family is offered in the middle. So it's easy to match with the records of the main branch.

The middle-aged literati have nothing here, just a genealogy, and it is not too easy to fake.

Sima Ji pondered for a moment, and asked Su Qi to contact the Wei clan in Zhangjia Village, Ganzhou, saying that when he was traveling, he found that someone here might be a brother to their ancestors.

Su Qi nodded and went out to make arrangements.

Last time, his clan brother disguised himself as You Fanglang to protect Sima Ji in Zhang Village, but now he is just borrowing this identity again, and he is not embarrassed at all.

It is said that the middle-aged scribe still had the most property at that time, because he had a wife with a good influence in his mother's family, and when the ancestor died, he let him take away all kinds of classic materials and keep them. But who knew that a disaster on the road would make the classics brought out not one out of ten.

"Sir, please stay in the Guogong Mansion, and the housekeeper will arrange a place for you later. If you have other needs, just let the housekeeper know directly. ”

Wei Qingrong was led by the housekeeper to the side courtyard of the Guogong Mansion.

It is said that it is a side yard, and the area is really not small. There are more than a dozen small yards in the compound, the small yard is not big, but although the sparrows are small, there is no pressure at all to live in a family of more than ten people.

"Mr. Wei can borrow his family to live, just inform the steward of the side courtyard in advance. You can also send someone from the government to help you move. In addition to the daily food, there are also some offerings of silver taels every month, which will be sent to the courtyard of the husband at that time. If there is anything else you need, please let me know. ”

The courtyard assigned to Wei Qingrong is a small courtyard with two entrances, and there are more than ten rooms in the front and back. On the right-hand side of the courtyard, there is also a side room and a half, which can be used as storage or stove room.

Wei Qingrong thanked the housekeeper, and the servant assigned by the mansion helped him put things in place.

"Jiwu, if I want to go back to pick up my wife and children first, do I have to go and ask the housekeeper for leave?"

"Sir, don't need it, the rules of the house, the first five days are for the gentlemen to settle down, and the steward who goes to the study on the fourth day will send the class schedule, and in the future, Mr. will go to give a lecture to the little grandfather according to this arrangement. The rest of the time is up to you. ”

Jiwu is the servant assigned to handle chores for Wei Qingrong, and he also grew up in the mansion since he was a child, and he is very familiar with everything.

"Mr. wants to go back to pick up the eldest lady, but do you need to send a car from the house? I'm going to send a list to the steward. ”

"Then there will be labor."

"Sir, you don't need to be polite, you are the little grandfather's husband, and you are also half of my master, just ask me if I have something."

Jiwu walked out halfway and turned back: "I forgot to tell Mr. one thing." If there are obedient servants in the sir's house, you can also bring one or two to serve, I mainly deal with things related to the house for Mr., there are many things, I am afraid that some aspects are not so thoughtful, and it is not good to miss Mr. ”

Wei Qingrong nodded, indicating that he knew.

Half a month later, on the side of Zhang Village, Fourth Uncle Wei was giving Dabao a lesson, and when he saw Wei Zan recklessly, he rushed in, frowning and was about to get angry, so he heard what he said and found it.

"It's the second brother of Zhangcun's branch back then, and I can't be wrong, but the other party's token was lost, and it's a little troublesome to confirm the identity."

After all, the Wei family in Ganzhou has always been in charge of the fourth uncle of Wei, so the identity certificate of the self-proclaimed descendants of the Wei family in Zhangzhou related to this side also has to be handled by him.

Dabao is young in the end, although he is already a talent, he is still childish in front of his elders.

After hearing Wei Zhan's words, his eyes lit up, and he looked at the other party with blazing eyes, wanting him to say more.

"Don't look at me, the man sent by the doctor is still in your house. Your sister was receiving me, and when she heard about it, she quickly asked someone to inform me. It is estimated that the patriarch and clan elder of the Wei clan in Ganzhou have already arrived at your house at this time. ”

Fourth Uncle Wei stroked his long beard and nodded: "Maoxing, you stay and continue to write silently, and I will check your homework when you come back." Azan and I went with me to have a look. ”

Wei Zan raised his eyebrows, and while his fourth uncle was not paying attention, he threw a sneering look at Dabao.

This guy used to be quite old, but now he is getting more and more active, and sometimes he has to grab food with Dabao, which makes the fourth lady sigh when she looks at it.

Although Dabao pouted and was unhappy, he didn't dare not listen to the fourth uncle's orders, so he could only obediently stay in the study and continue to read silently.

"Fourth uncle, why don't you bring Dabao with you?"

Out of the room, Wei Zan asked in a low voice.

"That child used to be more depressed because of his family, but now he is too lively. If you want him to become a big weapon in the future, you have to think about it carefully. You do the same, saying that you asked him to teach him his lessons, and what happened? ”

Speaking of this, Fourth Uncle Wei glared at Wei Zan fiercely. If it weren't for the last time he accidentally saw the two of them getting along with each other who were neither teachers nor friends, he wouldn't have had the intention of getting Dabao to teach him. is such a child, he almost delayed Wei Zan here!

When the two arrived at the Wei family's old house, they saw that the courtyard door was wide open, and in addition to the patriarch of the Wei family, the village chief was also present.

"The fourth uncle is here." Wei Jin, who was accompanying him at the end, saw Fourth Uncle Wei and quickly got up to serve him tea, and then returned to the room.

"What does Uncle Clan think about this?" Fourth Uncle Wei came up and went straight to the point, "Looking at the nephew of the clan, you can send someone to Zhangzhou to see the situation first, and inquire by the way." By the way, did he say where the eldest son's family went at that time? ”

The Su clansmen who were sent to deliver the message disguised as traveling merchants saluted before they spoke in detail.

He only said that the genealogy recorded that his ancestor decided to go to Zhangzhou at that time, and the third room went to the Luzhou area of Ganzhou, and the long house said at that time that he would stay in Weizhou to keep filial piety for three years, and then if there was a place to go, he would go to Ganzhou to notify. But then did not wait for the person who was notified by the long house. Coupled with the troubled times of that year, no one knows whether the Changfang family is still there. ”

This is also consistent with what they heard in Weizhou, and the biggest possibility is that the Changfang family has no incense.
