Siheyuan: I am a big capitalist after the founding of the People's Republic of China

"Anyway, kid~ we are the same kind of people. We are different from normal people."

"Also, don't spread what we said today. Although longevity is not necessarily a good thing, those who want to live longer will have evil thoughts."

"It's fine for ordinary people to hear this, even if they tell others, they will just treat it as a joke."

"But once those powerful people get to know this news, our family will only be in endless trouble in the future."

"So, kid, these words from my mouth today should enter your ears. Don't let outsiders know. Otherwise, our family will either die or be exterminated, or we will be treated as animals and kept in captivity for research."

"No matter how powerful we are, we can't defeat everyone in the world."

"I suspect that those ancestors, after reaching the age of 100, most likely ran away from home or faked their own deaths in order not to cause trouble to their descendants."

"Of course, there is also an element of boredom."

"That's all I have to tell you tonight. I will send someone to notify your grandfather. You can rest here tonight."

"Also, every two hours, someone will come to change your bath medicine."

"You just soak in the bucket tonight. Okay, I'm leaving. Just lie down."

Li Zihang just wanted to stand up to see his ancestor off, but he was told to stop and continue lying down.

Everything that happened tonight seemed like a dream. The bizarre story, the magical bloodline, the exaggerated life span. All of this seemed like a fairy tale, but it actually happened to him.

The stars move and the sun and the moon alternate.

The next morning, when the sky was just getting light, Li Zihang, who was sleeping in the medicinal bath tub, didn't know that a discussion about whether he should stay or leave had been going on all night.

The central hall of the Li family’s ancestral home in the countryside that has been around for more than 300 years.

Li Xianmin (Li Zihang’s grandfather): “My dear ancestors, it’s already dawn. How about you eat something first? Then we can discuss whether Xiaohang should stay or go.”

The 15th Ancestor said to Li Xianmin: "Boy, there are some things you know. It's not that we old guys don't consider you young ones."

"But some things affect the safety of the entire clan. And some things can only be taught to that kid within the clan."

"You said that the capital is thousands of miles away from us. Some things can't be implemented at all."

Li Xianmin was also very distressed. On the one hand, he really didn't want his only grandson to stay. Otherwise, the days without a grandson would be meaningless for him and his wife.

On the one hand, if he didn't stay, he might delay his grandson's future. That's why several old ancestors discussed with him whether Li Zihang should stay in his hometown of Gusu or return to Sijiu City for the next ten years.

Li Xianmin: "My ancestors, it's not that I don't agree with Xiaohang staying. But you also know that he is the only one left in my branch."

"The situation in the capital is changing rapidly. Xiao Hang's presence can calm many people. If he suddenly disappears, I can still handle the people below. But the suspicion of the people above me is something I can't handle even if I have great abilities."

"It's not that we old couple are reluctant to part with our grandson. To put it bluntly, Xiaohang is a hostage in the capital."

"If I want more descendants, I will agree to whatever you brothers decide today without hesitation."

"But~ I really have no choice! I can't ignore the lives of thousands of people in the capital for this matter. Even if it's two years later, I will agree to this."

"But at this critical juncture of the cooperation, if my only grandson suddenly disappears, who knows what kind of trouble will arise."

"The people above me thought I was going to run away with the money. If that happens, no one who follows me will have a good ending. Now, every move I make is linked to a thread and affects my entire body."

"So, ancestors, Xiaohang really can't stay here. We can only think of other ways."

The eleventh generation ancestor stroked his long snow-white beard and thought for a moment before speaking slowly.

"Fifteen, how about this. Choose one person from the seven generations to go to the capital to teach that kid. This is the only way. What do you think?"

Fifteenth Ancestor: "This is the only way."

Then he said to Li Xianmin: "Boy, although this is a compromise, you have to know that following us old guys and teaching by our words and deeds is not the same as sending someone to the capital to teach. Although the effect is not worlds apart, it is definitely not on the same level. Think it over carefully."

After some consideration, Li Xianmin had no choice but to send someone to the capital to teach Li Zihang.

"My dear ancestors, I have figured it out. Let's send someone to the capital to teach Xiao Hang. At worst, I can send my grandson back after this critical moment. Do you think this is okay?"

The fifteenth ancestor nodded in agreement, then stood up and left.

Li Xianmin didn't sleep all night. After all, he was old and didn't have a special bloodline. He was already exhausted.

After watching the ancestors leave, he went back to find his partner with a full heart.

On the other side, Li Zihang was awakened. After packing up, he was taken to a secret room in the backyard of the ancestral home by a white-haired old man.

"Boy, time is tight. I told you everything you need to know yesterday. Now, I will do the rest."

After saying that, he took out two items from his coat pocket.

The old man took out a jade pendant and handed it to Li Zihang. Then he said, "This white tiger jade pendant is something that every generation of white tiger bloodline inheritors have."

"The style and carving are the same. But your name and generation will be engraved on the back."

Li Zihang took the jade pendant and looked at it, and found that he seemed to have seen it somewhere.

Suddenly I remembered that last time my grandfather donated money to let Uncle Qi return to the village, he was holding this kind of jade pendant.

The old man noticed that Li Zihang was staring at the jade pendant in a daze and couldn't help but snort.

"What are you thinking about, kid?"

Li Zihang came back to his senses and explained: "Grandfather, my grandfather also had a piece of this kind of jade pendant."

The old man said calmly, "The jade pendant your grandfather had was from the White Tiger bloodline of four generations of your ancestors. Later, when your grandfather's branch of the family went to the capital, it was used as a token of the branch."

"Okay, wear this big Five Emperors Coin bracelet yourself. I'll take you back later."

Li Zihang's heart suddenly surged when he saw the red rope strung together with the bracelet made of the Five Emperors' coins.

The Great Five Emperors' Coins refer to Qin Shi Huang's half-liang coins.

The five-zhu coins of Emperor Wu of Han, the Kaiyuan Tongbao coins of Emperor Taizong of Tang, the Song and Yuan Tongbao coins of Emperor Taizu of Song, and the Yongle Tongbao coins of Emperor Chengzu of Ming.

If they were ordinary Big Five Emperors coins, it wouldn't be worth making a fuss about, but these five copper coins were all mother coins~.

And they are all in excellent condition. To be frank, if these five copper coins were put in an auction house in the future, people would spend all their money to buy them.

In terms of economic value, in the world where his soul traveled back, with one copper coin, he could easily buy a large three-story courtyard house within the second ring of the city. Not to mention five coins at a time.

Don't ask him how he knows this. The ability to look for antiques requires a teacher, seeing a lot, and playing with them for a long time. It will come naturally.

In his family's underground palace, there are sets of ancient bronze coins from different generations, which he has played with a lot. So he can recognize the new and the old at a glance.

Li Zihang asked tentatively: "Grandfather, these Five Emperors' Coins, do you know that they are mother coins?"

The old ancestor rolled his eyes at him and said, "Put away your little thoughts. I don't know the origin of this thing. When I was playing with it, your grandfather was not even born. It is a bracelet to ward off evil spirits."

"Every underage White Tiger bloodline inheritor has this thing when they are young."

"Besides, we have plenty of this stuff at home. It's not as precious as you think."

"Oh, right, these Five Emperors' coins have all been blessed by burning incense and chanting sutras day and night. You are not allowed to take them off if you are under 18 years old. You have to wear them even when you take a bath. Do you understand?"

"And the jade pendant. Keep it for me. Don't lose it. A person only has one of these in his lifetime. It's a symbol of status. It's very useful. Let your grandfather explain the rest to you when you get back. I'm too lazy to explain it to you anymore."

Li Zihang, who was sent away, was taken back to the old man in a daze.

When the grandmother saw her grandson who had disappeared all night come back, she quickly pulled him to her side and looked him up and down.

"Grandson, are you okay?"

Li Zihang felt a little uncomfortable with his grandmother's excessive concern.

"Grandma, it's just one night, what can happen to me? It's a good thing if something happens. Can you please stop being so nervous?"

As he said this, he took out the jade pendant from his neck and showed it to his grandmother.

"Grandma, look at what this is? You didn't expect that I got one today."

When grandma saw the jade pendant, her hands began to tremble with excitement and her voice was trembling.

"Grandson, put the jade pendant on quickly and don't take it out. Do you know how important this jade pendant is?"

Li Zihang told what he knew.

"Grandma, do you know about the White Tiger bloodline?"

Grandma nodded to indicate that she understood, and then let him continue.

"Grandma, this jade pendant belongs to every White Tiger bloodline. It is a symbol of status. As for the rest, my ancestor said that I should let Grandpa explain it to me."

Grandma then pulled Li Zihang aside and said, "Your grandfather discussed your matter with several ancestors all night yesterday, and he just came back and went to bed not long ago."

"Grandma, I also know something. Let me explain it to you."

"This jade pendant is not only a symbol of status. It has many uses!"

"Besides, when ordinary tribesmen see you wearing the jade pendant, they will be respectful to you. No matter how old you are, they will never treat you as a child."

"Also, as long as it's a shop run by a member of the Li family, even if they don't know you, if you see the jade pendant and you ask them for help, they will help you unconditionally."

"People in our family who are engaged in business are all over the country. We also have many branches overseas. To put it bluntly, no matter where you have problems, as long as you take the jade pendant with you, there will be someone to help you."

"Not to mention those members of the Li family who are officials."
