Chapter 14
"Father's background is mostly from a famous family."

Li Cezhi said solemnly.

Jing Ji and Li Ru looked at each other in dismay. Since they were born, their father has always been a farmer. How did he become a famous family?

"This jade tablet is a token of my father's family members and a proof of identity."

Li Cezhi continued: "During the Dali Dynasty, all the sons and daughters of prominent families in the thirteen counties of Wuzhou would wear jade to show their status, especially in Yizhou, and Mingzhou has the most customs."

"Brother still knows this? Didn't he read it from a book."

Li Jingji crossed his arms and folded his arms in disbelief.

"My mother told me about this."

Li Cezhi shook his head and said, "If you don't believe me, you should also believe in your mother."

Chen Qingqian is not an ignorant villager in Nanshan Village. She has been an official lady since she was a child. She was implicated in her father's crime and ended up living here. Her knowledge is far better than that of the villagers.

"If Daddy really came from a wealthy family, why didn't he mention it?"

Li Ruliu frowned slightly, very puzzled.

As long as there are some aristocratic family relationships, why does the Li family have to be farmers for so many years?

"I also asked my mother."

Li Cezhi opened his mouth and said: "My mother said that my father has difficulties, so I didn't mention these."

Li Chaoge: "????"

Crouching in front of the coffin, he looked shocked.

In fact, it was the first time Li Chaoge knew that this jade pendant was a status symbol for the children of the aristocratic family.

He is a soul transmigrating to another world, and has not inherited any memory from his predecessor. As soon as he appeared, he was starving and freezing outside Nanshan Village, and almost died of starvation.

Back then when he married Chen Qingqian, he didn't have much property, so he could only use this jade pendant which seemed to be quite valuable as the engagement, but he never expected that his predecessor could still have a relationship with a wealthy family.

"This woman, since you know, why don't you tell me?"

Li Chaoge was secretly annoyed, he had been with Chen Qingqian and his wife for 20 years, and he could fully guess what Chen Qingqian was thinking.

Chen Qingqian probably wanted to be safe and secure, so he kept it secret.

After all, with Li Chaoge's temperament, whenever there is a chance, no matter how much risk he takes, he will seize it.

The original owner of the body must have been reduced to this level, and he must not be able to stay in the family anymore, and he may even be punished by the family and expelled from the family.

If Li Chaoge travels thousands of miles to find relatives, and something goes wrong, the better situation is that the tribe will be humiliated and driven out. If he is interrogated by the government and found to be a refugee without a certificate, he will be imprisoned.

"Stupid bitch."

Li Chaoge cursed helplessly, but he wasn't really angry.

Chen Qingqian's family has been in trouble, and he has suffered for half his life, so he can understand that he wants to be safe.

"Mother never mentioned this matter in her life. She only gave the jade pendant to me after my father passed away."

"She said that we shouldn't keep this matter from us. If we leave Nanshan Village in the future and want to cling to it, this is a way out."

Li Cezhi told his second brother and sister everything.

"However, even if you come to recognize relatives, you must be cautious. If your father violated the family rules and was expelled from the family, it would be a disaster for us to come."

He clenched the mutton fat jade pendant tightly in his palm and stared at the two, wanting to hear their thoughts.

"Recognize an egg pro."

Li Jingji sneered: "Since my father never mentioned it, it is obvious that he has no intention of continuing to be a member of the family. Why should we have the cheek to beat the autumn wind."

"I don't agree either. We can earn enough to eat with our own hands, so why bother with others?"

Li Ru didn't hold grudges, and stood by the thorns.

Li Cezhi listened and said nothing.

In fact, he is inclined to recognize relatives in his heart, even if there is a risk, what if it happens?
Xiaoru and Jingji are too young, and they don't know how much power the aristocratic family has in this world, so they refused so arbitrarily.

The Imperial Examination in the Dali Dynasty was held every three years, with thirteen counties in Wuzhou and hundreds of counties in the country.

There are very few candidates who can be named on the gold list. If students want to leap to the top of the dragon's gate, they not only need literary talent and learning, but also a fairly good background.

Over the years, if the sons were not from aristocratic families, then they were extremely talented, and they were recruited by nobles early on, and they had a backing.

There are very few people who have really soared to the sky with shocking articles and policies for governing the world.

"I don't know if my father agrees with the confession."

He looked at the memorial tablet at the ancestral hall, feeling a little worried.

"Recognize your relatives, you must recognize them!"

He is in favor of this matter!
The so-called power of the big family is second. The most important thing is that if he succeeds, he won't have to worry about the members of the Li family anymore.

Of course, even if it is attached to it, it is unlikely that Li Chaoge's tablet will be enshrined in the ancestral hall of the main family to share incense with the ancestors.

But it doesn't matter, as long as he is given time, Li Chaoge has enough confidence to make his three children grow up, gradually grasp the power of the family, and welcome him into the ancestral hall.

That night, Li Ru slept soundly.

Li Cezhi was still preparing for the exam, studying until midnight.

Li Jingji also didn't rest. He read the "Jiazi Jianjianlu" over and over several times, but he still couldn't understand how to cultivate the sword intent, and instead fell asleep drowsily.

Even when he was sleeping, he fell asleep with his sword in his arms.

The next day, early in the morning.

As soon as Li Jingji got up, he practiced his sword moves in the courtyard.

"Shh! Shh! Shh!"

Although the posture is crooked, like a layman, the advantage is that the sword is sharp and vigorous, and the sword body makes humming sounds from time to time, but it has a good appearance.

Half an hour later, Li Jingji was sweating profusely and his whole body was sore.

The progress of the so-called martial arts is not as fast as he imagined, and the sword moves are still not proficient. As for the true energy mentioned in the father's story, he has not discovered the slightest bit.

He rested for a while, then raised his sword and continued to practice. This kind of stubbornness is rare.

"Thorn, don't practice swords yet."

Chen Qingqian led Li Yu over and ordered, "Your father told you to take Yu'er to Chai Yuan's house, and you take him to see Chai Fang first."

"okay."

Hearing the order, Li Jingji carefully put away Qing Mingjian, went back to the room and changed into clean clothes.

"No, the peach tree at home is ripe, and a lot of fruit fell last night. When you go to visit Chai Yuanwai, bring these peaches with you. It's not worth a lot of money, but it's a kindness."

Chen Qingqian took out the fruit basket, and the peaches that had fallen by themselves were growing very well, bright red and round, full of juice.

"Okay, I see."

He held a fruit basket in one hand and led his little nephew out the door with the other.

Chai Yuanwai is a generational landlord in Nanshan Village, with a hundred acres of fertile land, and his house is naturally grand, with more than a dozen rooms connected to it, as well as servants and housekeepers.

Standing in front of the Qinghong Gate guarded by two stone lions, Li Jingji and Li Yu knocked on the middle door.

Soon, the door of Yuanwai's house was opened, and the person who poked his head out was an old man in his fifties with white beard and hair.

He knew this person, and it was Steward Song of Chai Yuan's family.

"Song Steward, the peach tree at home is ripe, my mother told me to pick some peaches, and specially came here to give to Chai Yuanwai to try."

He changed his laziness and casualness in front of others, and his words were quite polite, because the relationship between the two families has always been good.

But Butler Song shook his head and refused directly.

"Li Jia Erlang, you came at an untimely time, and the staff members have not seen any guests in recent days."

After all, Steward Song closed the door involuntarily.

The two uncles and nephews who were stopped outside the door were somewhat surprised. It was not the first time for them to come to Chai's house, and they had never been shut down before.

Chai Yuanwai, what's going on?
