I have lived forever since the end of Qin Dynasty

Chapter 349 What is your relationship with Marquis Wenzhen of Yangxia?
"Mr. Guo?" Li Xu exhaled softly with hesitation on his face.

Now he saw Guo Xie's surprised expression and looked confused.

What is this scenario?
You must know that I have just described in detail what happened along the way, and mentioned Brother Boyu in particular.

From helping out to escorting the delegation into Guanzhong with great justice, I didn't miss a single thing about what Brother Boyu did, and he told everything exactly.

Guo Xie slapped the table in admiration and expressed his appreciation without hesitation.

The reason why Xingmo is called Xingmo is naturally different from Yanmo, who specializes in writing and arguing, and Gongmo, who studies crafts. Most of the disciples of this category belong to the action school.

As a good talker, Guo Xie will have a high regard for people who act efficiently and do things in an orderly manner.

In Li Xu's previous introduction, Chen Luo fit this image perfectly.

He plans before acting but acts decisively, and more importantly, he is willing to act chivalrously and righteously.

Therefore, Li Xu had already thought about it.

Guo Gong will definitely be tested later, but he believes that Brother Boyu will be valued.

When Mr. Guo extends an olive branch, as the recommended "primary hero", I ask Brother Boyu to treat him to two good meals. Isn't it too much?
It was just the first step in my own imagination when something went wrong.

No matter from which aspect you look at it, the look on Guo Gong's face when he saw Brother Boyu was different from what he expected.

Li Xu whispered several times, but Guo Xie was still stuck in his own memories.

"It's so similar, it's so similar, it's so similar... and also..." Guo Xie whispered a few times to himself, then raised his head with piercing eyes, "Little friend, is your surname indeed Chen? "

Chen Luo smiled and saluted: "I am Chen Xun, whose name is Boyu."

"I'm sorry for being too surprised. I'm a little rude. I'll apologize to my little friend." Guo Xie realized what he was doing and stood up to return the courtesy.

It did seem a bit reckless to ask such a question directly without even saying hello.

However, he was bold and generous. When he realized something was wrong, he immediately chose to apologize. He would not maintain his identity and choose to be tough or show off.

"It's okay, but why did Mr. Guo ask this?" Chen Luo's eyes were slightly confused.

Even if he knew the reason, he knew that he still had to pretend to be the most natural in front of others.

Guo Xie pursed his lips and asked, "This is related to a secret... Well, little friend Boyu is not from the Chen family in Yangxia, right?"

After all, if the other party was born in the Chen family of Yangxia, Li Xu would definitely focus on this point when describing what happened.

What's more, there are not many direct descendants of the Chen family in Yangxia, only a few dozen, and their relationship with the Mohist family is complicated. For example, the person in charge of today's Gongmo family, Taikang Marquis Chen Lu, was born in the Chen family of Yangxia.

Therefore, Guo Xie did not know all of the younger generation of the Chen family in Yangxia, but he still knew the names and faces of the outstanding ones.

If Chen Luo was as good as Li Xu said, it would be impossible for him to be totally unimpressed.

"I'm from Shu County, yes, but my ancestral home is over there in Chu." Chen Luo scratched his head and answered frankly.

"Chu Land?" Guo Xie took a deep breath and asked solemnly, "May I ask, little friend Boyu, where exactly is your ancestral home in Chu Land? And when did you move to Shu County?"

"Why did Mr. Guo ask about these things?" Chen Luo asked, and cast a look at Li Xu to express questioning.

What's the situation now?
Mr. Guo’s question is really strange.

You must know that if you frequently ask these questions online before the IP is displayed in future generations, the other party will probably start to suspect that you intend to open the box.

Although it would not have aroused such serious suspicion in ancient times, it is also not appropriate to ask this as soon as they meet.

Li Xu interjected with some embarrassment: "Mr. Guo, Brother Chen has a clean background. There are ancestors in the family who are in business, but he has got rid of his identity as a merchant, and he is not a powerful person. You don't need to be so careful."

Along the way, he had several exchanges with Chen Luo, talking about his family background and identity.

Therefore, when he saw Brother Boyu being repeatedly asked about relevant matters by Duke Guo, he hurriedly came out to explain.

After all, the first two rounds of questions could be regarded as commonplace conversation, but the subsequent words made Brother Boyu slightly unhappy, so he had to come out and smooth things over.

You must know that according to Li Xu's original idea, the two should have discussed how to write a letter to resolve the matter of Liu Duan, King of Jiaoxi.

Then Guo Xie asked a question, and Brother Boyu answered, singing in harmony, and finally the host and the guest were happy.

As a result, the facts were skewed from the beginning, and the topic of discussion inexplicably turned into unrelated matters such as family background and place of origin.

"You don't need to get involved in this matter." Guo Xie waved his hand, turned around, stared at Chen Luo seriously and asked, "Little friend Boyu, these questions of mine are very important and may be related to your family background. I sincerely hope that you will If you are able to answer seriously, if you feel offended, I will first apologize to you."

"Huh?" Chen Luo tilted his head, "Mr. Guo's words are serious, but there is nothing worth discussing about my family background. My great-grandfather fled from Chu to Jing at the end of Qin Dynasty. My father also died during the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms. I fled the chaos in Shu County, and our family has taken root since then, but I like to travel around and make friends, um...what's the problem?"

Guo Xie's body was shaken.

There are problems, there are big problems.

According to this statement, everything is correct.

In fact, only a limited number of people know the will of Marquis Wenzhen of Yangxia. The younger generation of the Chen family in Yangxia may not even know the specific content.

Guo Xie had a good relationship with Chen Lu, and the other party needed to entrust Xingmo to do things according to a certain regulation in the will of Marquis Wenzhen of Yangxia, so he had the opportunity to know part of the contents of Marquis Wenzhen of Yangxia's will.

Marquis Wenzhen of Yangxia valued love and righteousness, and even when he became famous, he never forgot his brother.

So he left Hou Guoli, and two thousand households among them were given to his brother Chen Huai's descendants.

It's just that there is very little information about Yangxia Wenzhenhou's brother. Even after Guo Xie accepted the commission and sent Mohist disciples to pay close attention to him, after all these years, no results have been obtained.

The Chen family in Yangxia also gradually gave up their expectations, believing that the clause in the will was, after all, just a flower in the mirror and the moon in the water, illusory and difficult to realize.

I didn’t expect that today would take a turn for the worse.

I once met the middle-aged Marquis Wenzhen of Yangxia, and the young man in front of him seemed to be the same Marquis of Yangxia Wenzhen who was 20 years younger.

I am afraid that even Marquis Yang Xia and Marquis Taikang are not so similar in appearance.

The inquiry just now deepened his conviction.

The great-grandfather of boy Boyu in front of me left Chu due to the war in the late Qin Dynasty. Isn't it very possible that this is the brother of Marquis Wenzhen of Yangxia?
As for why he and his descendants did not return to Yangxia later, Guo Xie also came up with a reasonable explanation.After all, humans are not as good as dogs in troubled times.

How good can refugees who have left their homes live?
It would take at least three to five years for the reputation of Marquis Wenzhen of Yangxia to spread to Jingdi. His brother might have passed away by then, and his descendants would not even know that there was such a relative as Marquis Yangxia.

"I think Boyu's appearance is [-]% similar to that of an elder I met before. However, due to some changes, that elder was separated from his brother and has no contact with him anymore." Guo Xie sighed and said leisurely.

Li Xu next to him was stunned after hearing the explanation.

This was a completely unexpected development.

Brother Boyu helped me, and by the way, I could recognize my ancestor and return to my clan?

Sure enough, good people are rewarded.

"Mr. Guo, I wonder if Brother Boyu may have a relationship with any of your elders?" He glanced at Chen Luo and then asked curiously.

Guo Pingping is bold and unrestrained in his daily work, but he also does not talk nonsense.

Based on his appearance, we can conclude that Brother Boyu is related to one of his elders. They should really look alike.

Guo Xie paused and said in a deep voice: "No matter what I say next, I hope little friend Boyu won't be too surprised."

"Okay." Chen Luo nodded, looking calm.

Guo Xie slowly said: "You look very similar to Marquis Wenzhen of Yangxia. Your surname is Chen and your ancestral home is Chu. So I think your great-grandfather may be the brother of Marquis Wenzhen of Yangxia. And Marquis Wenzhen of Yangxia gave you this He left a great legacy.”

"Aha?" Chen Luo's expression didn't change much, but Li Xu on the side exclaimed in surprise.

It's not that he lacks determination, it's just that the news is too shocking.

The children of the Chen family in Yangxia rarely serve as officials. Although they are more involved in the affairs of the Mohist family, it is not easy to meet them.

Li Xushang was not considered a middle-level member of the Mo family, and he certainly had no chance of contacting the children of the Chen family in Yangxia.

But now tell him that the person he got along with along the way may be a branch of the Chen family of Yangxia, and can inherit part of the legacy of Marquis Wenzhen of Yangxia?
You must know that property is only secondary, Yangxia Chen's name can't be exchanged for a lot of money.

In Chudi, as long as you say you are a descendant of Marquis Wenzhen of Yangxia and go to eat at a stall, no one will take your money.

Of course, those who go out to deceive under the guise will be lucky if they don’t get caught. If they are caught, they will be sent to the government. They will be kicked by the angry people... I guess they can go to see Marquis Wenzhen of Yangxia. .

"Brother Boyu, are you the great-nephew of Marquis Wenzhen of Yangxia?" Li Xu's eyes widened, and then he looked at Chen Luo a few times, "I just said that why Brother Boyu is so impressive, now it makes sense."

"Ahem." Guo Xie coughed, interrupting Li Xu's confusion, and then said to Chen Luo, "Little friend Boyu, this is just my personal judgment. I will notify Yangxia as soon as possible and ask them to send someone over. Make a judgment, by the way, are there others in your lineage?"

"No, I am a single person from the third generation. After my father passed away, I was the only one left in our family." Chen Luo answered, sighed, and then lowered his head sadly.

"Is that so..." Guo Xie pursed his lips, obviously feeling that he had touched the other person's sadness and it was his fault.

After a pause, he reached out and patted Chen Luo on the shoulder and said: "If my judgment is not wrong, little boy Boyu will have relatives who can move around in the future. The Chen family in Yangxia has a rare and excellent family tradition, so you don't have to worry Something is causing trouble."

Chen Luo nodded slightly, and then said seriously: "But Mr. Guo, I personally think that we should discuss more important matters."

Hearing this, Li Xu looked slightly surprised, "Brother Boyu, isn't Chen's matter an important matter?"

In the eyes of ordinary people, having the opportunity to become a member of the Yangxia Chen family is an extremely glorious thing.

You must know that the families who have the opportunity to marry with them are all top Han Dynasty dignitaries such as the Xiang family of Chu and the Han family of Huaiyin.

Being able to recognize one's ancestors and become a member of the Yangxia Chen family is probably something that countless people would never dare to dream of.

But Brother Boyu wanted to expose it so lightly?
Guo Xie, who was standing next to him, looked at Chen Luo and asked with a faint smile: "Then what do you want to discuss with me?"

Chen Luo pursed his lips and said, "Even if it has something to do with Marquis Wenzhen of Yangxia and the Chen family of Yangxia, in the final analysis, it's just a small matter related to me personally.

But I came here specifically to visit because the matter I want to discuss concerns thousands of people in Jiaoxi.

This is the real big deal.

Compared with thousands of households, an individual's private affairs are like the difference between a sharp stone and the towering Mount Tai.

Mr. Guo, what do you think? "

This is Chen Luo's true words.

People who have never tasted fame, fortune and wealth have a fatal temptation and will be jealous and crazy about them.

But he enjoyed a lifetime of glory.

Those fame, status, and property will no longer become your goals in life.

Even if he doesn't regard all these things as passing smoke, after all, such a state of mind is too indifferent and detached, and Chen Luo consciously cannot do that, but in his eyes, they are more like tools, used for his own purposes to achieve his desired goals.

Before you have a suitable position, if you want to reform and punish evildoers, you often need to go through several games and even use violent means.

But after you have a noble reputation, a noble status, and a huge amount of property, if you want to realize your expectations, you may only need to use your words.

Chen Luo can control his sense of proportion and will not indulge in climbing to high positions and collecting money.

Guo Xie took a deep look at Chen Luo, and then said with approval: "Not bad, not bad. Little friend Boyu is not afraid of favors and humiliations. Even though the world's riches and honors are thrown at him, he calmly starts to consider the affairs of the people of Jiaoxi Kingdom. At your age, I'm not as good as you.

As for personal matters and family and national affairs, family and national affairs are indeed more important. "

If he were asked to recognize his ancestors and become a member of the Yangxia Chen family, he would be excited for at least half an hour.

That was the Chen family of Yangxia, a family other than the Liu and Xiang families, and in terms of reputation alone, it even vaguely surpassed the Xiang family of Chu.

"Mr. Guo was so complimentary." Chen Luo smiled and continued, "Since Mr. Guo also agrees with my opinion, let's start discussing how to resolve the issue in Jiaoxi Kingdom."

In fact, he was not as indifferent as Guo Xie thought.

If it were to win other honors and fame, he would be more or less excited.

But most of Yangxia Chen's glory was earned by himself. Now he can only say that he inherited what he once owned according to the plan, and did not even go further.

It's like picking up money in your living room, who wouldn't be excited about such a thing?
