"It's really my second brother, I'm rude."

Fan Zhongyun recognized Fan Zhongzhe and called out second brother.

Fan Zhongyun sat down aside and smiled and said, "Second brother, General Su Chi treats guests to dinner today. If you don't go to have a good meal, why are you here to come?"

Fan Zhongyun and Fan Zhongzhe have not met for more than ten years. The last time we met was when Fan Zhongyun got married, there must have been a lot of changes from young to middle-aged, so Fan Zhongyun did not recognize Fan Zhongzhe for a while.

Fan Zhongzhe is Fan Zhongyun's cousin, and their grandfathers are brothers.

The Fan family originated in Hebei and later moved to Henan. When they arrived at Fan Zhongyun’s great-grandfather’s generation, the family was considered a small asset and was also a small landlord in the local area. They had as many as thousands of acres of fertile land and lived a wealthy life.

The old man has two sons, the eldest is Fan Zhongzhe's grandfather, and the youngest is Fan Zhongyun's grandfather.

The two brothers have a bad relationship and hate each other. In addition, the old man prefers his youngest son. Before he dies, he leaves most of his family property to his youngest son, while the eldest son does not get much.

For this reason, after the old man's funeral, the two brothers broke up completely due to family property.

Later, the eldest son moved to Huainan, while the youngest son still lived in Henan. Since then, the two brothers have never had a deal in their lives and never interacted with each other.

Fan Zhongyun's grandfather was a typical prodigal son. In less than ten years, he lost all his family property. By his father's generation, he was already in a very poor life and his family was in extremely difficult situations.

Fortunately, Fan Zhongyun was smart since childhood and was favored by local juren. He taught him to study for free. Fan Zhongyun was also very successful. In his early twenties, he passed the Jinshi exam.

Fan Zhongyun and Fan Zhongzhe have a bad relationship, but their father has a very good relationship.

Fan Zhongyun clearly remembered that after his grandfather lost all his family property, he died soon, and his father was busy all day long and could only barely maintain food and clothing. When he was young, many people died of two major famines, and he was so hungry that he had no choice. So his father took his whole family to Huainan and defected to his uncle.

Although the uncle felt hatred in his heart, he did not expose his anger to his younger brother's son, that is, his nephew, and he helped his nephew's reunion.

Although Fan Zhongyun and Fan Zhongzhe's cousin have not met for more than ten years, they usually have letters, so their relationship is not too unfamiliar.

"I came to Fengjing this time not for business."

Fan Zhongzhe added: "It's not entirely for business."

Zhao Xun summoned the governors from all over the country to Beijing to report their duties. Many governors did not come in person, but just sent their confidants as representatives.

Wang Huailei has never taken the current emperor Zhao Xun seriously, thinking that this little emperor is far from Emperor Xingzong. Therefore, Wang Huailei didn't take much care of this trip to Fengjing, nor did he send his confidant adviser Fan Zhongzhe, but just sent Zhu Shihao over. The reason why Fan Zhongzhe came to Fengjing was because he wanted to come by himself. Wang Huailei did not stop him and told Fan Zhongzhe that if Zhu Shihao did not do well, you can correct it at any time.

Fan Zhongyun said, "Brother is in good health?"

Since I call me the second brother, there will naturally be the eldest brother.

There is also an older brother named Fan Zhongxian. As far as learning literature is concerned, he is better than Fan Zhongzhe. He passed the imperial examination, but he failed to pass the imperial examination several times. However, it was thanks to Fan Zhongzhe being highly valued by Wang Huailio and was very successful. As Fan Zhongzhe's biological brother, Wang Huailio naturally took care of him and made him the county magistrate of a county.

Fan Zhong looked weak and always got sick since he was a child.

Fan Zhongzhe said: "It's still the same thing, something is born and cannot be changed."

After saying that, Fan Zhongzhe took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Fan Zhongyun.

"It was the letter from my elder brother to you. He missed you very much. Over the years, I have wanted to come to Fengjing to visit you several times, but I was in poor health and could not make it."

Fan Zhongyun nodded. He had not had much correspondence with Fan Zhongzhe, but he had very frequent letters with Fan Zhongxian because the two had a high degree of consistency in their understanding and understanding of many things, and they were very good at talking about it.

"The food is ready. Zhongyun, please invite your second brother to the living room for dinner."

Fan Zhongyun's wife Niu walked to the door and spoke out to ask the two to go to the living room for dinner.

Fan Zhongzhe stood up and smiled and said, "Brother and sister-in-law, thank you for your hard work."

Niu was kind enough, and then said, "I don't know my second brother is coming. I don't have a drink at home, so I'll buy it now."

Fan Zhongzhe thanked: "I have a laborer brother and sister-in-law."

Niu then turned around and left.

Fan Zhongzhe and Fan Zhongyun went to the living room.

The food has been set on the table, not much, four dishes and one soup.

Fan Zhongyun asked Fan Zhongzhe to sit down, and then smiled and said, "There are only two men in the family. They usually have a dish and a soup, but today I have given me the blessing of my second brother."

Fan Zhongzhe sighed: "Zhongyun, why are you still so poor in life after you have been with Li Xun for so many years?"

Fan Zhongyun asked back: "The second brother has been following Wang Huailei for a while, isn't it the same?"

The two brothers looked at each other and laughed.

Fan Zhongyun and Fan Zhongzhe have some similar personalities, both with great ambitions and great ambitions, and they are very frivolous about money and material enjoyment.

However, the directions of the two were completely different.

Afterwards, the two talked about some family matters. Fan Zhongzhe did not ask about Li Xun. On the contrary, Fan Zhongyun did not ask about Wang Huailio. They just talked about family matters and had not seen each other for many years, and there were many topics on these aspects.

Soon, Niu came back with a box, containing four wine bottles.

"Sister-in-law, sit down and eat together."

Fan Zhongzhe said politely.

Niu said softly: "I am here, how do you talk about things?"

After saying that, Niu put down the wine bottle and turned around and left.

Fan Zhongzhe sighed and said, "Zhongyun, brother and sister are virtuous, you are blessed!"

Fan Zhongyun smiled and said nothing. His wife was indeed virtuous. The reason why Fan Zhongzhe sighed was because of his feelings.

Fan Zhongzhe was actually very successful in his career. Wang Huailio obeyed his words. In the Huainan area, no one knew about Fan Zhongzhe's reputation, but he failed in marriage because he married a woman he didn't like or even hate. This woman not only has a strong personality, but also looks quite ugly, but she has no choice. The orders of her parents, the words of the matchmaker, and Fan Zhongzhe's father-in-law have great kindness to his family. No matter what the reason is, Fan Zhongzhe cannot make decisions on the matters in marriage.
