Chapter 57: Identity
Pei Qing stared at Li Yan in a daze, looking at the piles of pearls and gems in a daze, and then glanced at the jewelry full of cases, not shocked, a commonplace appearance of jade trees, frowned slightly and immediately relaxed, walked to Li Yan's side, reached out and picked up a string of pink beads the size of a lotus seed, coiled it twice, and handed it to Li Yan, "It's okay to cage it in your hand." ”
Then he picked up a jade cloud hairpin, "This can also be used." "Put down the hairpin, and picked out a string of beeswax beads, a hundred butterflies wearing flowers and mutton fat jade pendants, a red coral jade lotus leaf hairpin, a step full of gemstones, and a pair of amethyst earrings, lined up in front of Li Yan, "These are also passable." ”
Pei Qing picked the same, and the shopkeeper next to him waited for a while, then put it away neatly, and arranged it in a row into the purple and red velvet tray held by the little servant.
Li Yan turned his head and looked at the tray in the little guy's hand, and then turned around, Pei Qing had already picked out more than a dozen pieces, stretched out his hand and dialed the treasure jade on the case, frowning, "Let's do these first, these," Pei Qing pointed to the red gold jewelry piled up on the other side, "When you pick a new look, take one or two." ”
"Yes, yes, yes!" The shopkeeper agreed, and one step passed, and the dexterity of his two hands was dazzling, and in a moment, he collected more than half of the red gold jewelry in half of the case into the tray of the small servant.
Pei Qing swept his eyes, motioned to Li Yan, and said softly as he walked out: "I will use it first, I have already asked people to buy it." ”
Li Yan was still holding the string of pink pearls in his hand, looking up at Pei Qing, he couldn't say what he felt in his heart, those pearls and jades ...... If there was only one thing, such as this string of pearls in her hand, no matter what, she would have to be excited for a while, but now...... She was numb.
Out of the jewelry store, a cart with indigo silk bib stopped at the door, Jin Dou led the horse with a whip, Yusu lifted the curtain, Li Yan got into the car, Pei Qing followed closely and also got into the car, Jin Dou signaled a small car behind the jade tree that was a little stunned.
"There's a place you have to go and see." Pei Qingduan sat opposite Li Yan, and as he spoke, he stretched out his hand to straighten the cloak nested next to Li Yan.
Li Yan looked at his hand that was slowly arranging the cloak, and an indescribable feeling surged in her heart, she felt that that hand didn't seem to be very comfortable.
"Before entering the capital, you have to have a suitable identity." Pei cleaned up his cloak and glanced at him a few times before looking at Li Yan and continuing.
Li Yan was stunned for a moment before she reacted, did she mean that she went to the Li family in the capital? She just went to the capital to take a look first, but she couldn't get to Li's house, the situation was unknown at this time, and she was still ...... She didn't know, but he knew for sure......
"The Li family moved from Yuzhang to the capital from the generation of the old Li Xiangguo and Li Qing'an." Pei Qing stretched out his hand and pulled the curtain open halfway, "Today, it's the fifth generation." The two prime ministers of the Li family, have you heard of it? ”
Li Yan nodded, and Zhou Rui told her once.
"Hmm." Pei Qing paused before continuing: "The eldest son of the old Li Xiangguo died early, and the younger Li Xiangguo is the eldest grandson, who was brought by the old Li Xiangguo and raised by himself, but the little Li Xiangguo learned the arbitrariness and ruthlessness of the old Li Xiangguo, but he did not have the scheming methods of the old Li Xiangguo, and he died in less than ten years as the prime minister, and it also brought ruin to the Li family. ”
Li Yan was stunned when he heard it, extinction? The Li family is gone? What about the Li family in the current capital?
"Li family branches, only the seven-year-old son Li Ronghai survived, took refuge in Nanyang, Li Ronghai's mother's home, Li Ronghai lived in Nanyang for thirteen years, at the age of nineteen, married Lin Xiucai's daughter in the east of Nanyang City, the next year, the court called Li Ronghai back to Beijing, Lin was pregnant with Liujia, failed to go along, two months later, Li Ronghai's eldest son Li Changnan was born, Lin died in childbirth."
Speaking of Lin's death in childbirth, Pei Qing paused and sighed very lightly, "After Li Ronghai arrived in the capital, he remarried the girl of the Chen family in Jiangling, who is now Mrs. Chen. Pei Qing looked at Li Yan, and the corners of his mouth curved up with a slight smile, "Chen Yanfeng is also a child of the Chen family in Jiangling. ”
Li Yan nodded a few times and motioned for Pei Qing to continue.
"Li Ronghai did not take Li Changnan to the capital, Li Changnan grew up in Nanyang, married his wife Gao, gave birth to a daughter, when the daughter was two years old, Li Changnan and his wife both died in an epidemic in Nanyang City, Gao's brother Gao Yannian took this daughter and moved to Lu'an, at the beginning of this year, Gao Yannian died of illness, before he died, he entrusted you to me, brought to the capital, and recognized his ancestors."
"It's ...... True or fake? Li Yan raised his hand and pressed it on his forehead, Pei Qing said that there is a name and a surname, there is cause and effect, it sounds the same as the real thing.
"If you think it's true, that's true." Pei Qing stared at Li Yan's expression.
"What about this daughter? Alive? Or is it already dead? Li Yan patted his forehead, this identity seems to be very bad.
"I don't know, Gao Yannian took her south back then, and she has not been seen since." Pei Qing lowered his eyelids and avoided Li Yan's gaze.
"Nowhere to be found." Li Yan repeated, "Impersonating other people's identities, what if a real person appears?" What if someone finds out? In case ......"
"With me, don't worry." Pei Qing's soft voice interrupted Li Yan's string of just in case.
"Also, you say I am, I am? How old is Li Ronghai this year? You're not confused, are you? and the old lady Chen...... "Li Yan always felt a little unreliable, and the fact of impersonating someone else's identity made her feel like she was committing a crime."
"Li Ronghai has been dead for seven or eight years, and Mrs. Chen is still alive, don't worry, there is me." Pei Qing said extremely confidently, Li Yan looked at him sideways, Pei Qing met Li Yan's gaze, and his smile became a little thicker, "Don't worry, everything has me." Here it is. ”
As soon as Pei Qing's voice fell, the car stopped, the curtain was lifted, Pei Qing jumped out of the car first, turned around to help Li Yan, Li Yan avoided his hand sideways, jumped under the car with his skirt, took care of the skirt, but didn't care about the cloak, the hem of the cloak was sandwiched in the crack of the car door, and Li Yan skewed to the side. Pei Qing stretched out his hand to hug Li Yan and pulled the cloak out with his hand.
Li Yan coughed a few times because of the cloak, and then he breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank you." ”
Pei Qing laughed, bent down, and looked at Li Yan's neck carefully, "It's good that I didn't hurt you." ”
Li Yan was uncomfortable with him, and hurriedly took two steps back, "What are you looking at here?" ”
"That is Li Ronghai's residence in Nanyang, and it is also the place where Li Changnan grew up and got married and gave birth to a daughter. Pei Qing pointed to the two dilapidated black lacquer courtyard doors in front of the two.
Jin Dou pushed open the courtyard door, Pei Qing was in front, and Li Yan followed closely into the courtyard gate.
The inside of the courtyard is even more dilapidated than the outside, the wings on both sides have collapsed in half, the three upper rooms are fine, and the yard is full of wild grass.
