The Prodigal Son of Zhenguan

Li Yuan laughed.

"Yes, fate, young master, there is fate between you and me." Li Yuan looked at Li Fu meaningfully.

The fate between the two of them is more than just this.

After leaving the study, Li Yuan met Li Xiaogong again. He looked at Li Xiaogong, and Li Xiaogong nodded slightly.

Now this is not the place to talk.

"Young master, today I have also opened up a lot of horizons with you. Let's visit each other often in the future." Li Yuan said.

"Okay, if I go to Chang'an at that time, I will definitely visit the old man's house." Li Fu bowed and said.

Things have been settled, Li Yuan wanted to say goodbye and leave.

And Li Fu, on the other hand, was thinking about starting the egg-changing business.

Now that he has this document, the business has a background to rely on.

On the way back to Chang'an City, Li Yuan and Li Xiaogong were both sitting in the carriage.

Li Xiaogong told Li Yuan all the news he had inquired from the housekeeper.

"From Jinyang." Li Yuan murmured.

He carefully recalled where his third brother was in the fifth year of Daye.

Jinyang was their hometown. When he started his army, he left Luoyang and returned to Jinyang.

The eldest brother died young, and the second and third brothers were not legitimate, so the title of Duke of the Li family fell on him, the fourth brother.

It seems that the third brother was indeed an official in Jinyang, and then went to Chang'an. Finally, in the seventh year of Daye, he was transferred to Luoyang and died of illness in Luoyang.

In this way, the time can be matched.

At the beginning, he sent people from Jinyang to the suburbs of Chang'an and settled them down, and he himself was an official in Chang'an.

But later, he probably couldn't take care of it.

"In terms of time, it is correct, but you are right. We need to find a chance to see the jade pendant first." Li Yuan said, "This matter is of great importance and cannot be made wrong."

"I have already told housekeeper Zhao to find a chance to talk to Li Fu about this matter. If his identity can be confirmed, it will be a good thing for both parties." Li Xiaogong said, "The young man can recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestral lineage. He can also have a descendant."

Li Yuan nodded in agreement.

However, even if Li Fu is a member of the royal family, the title of King of Han cannot be given to him.

When he ascended the throne, Li Hong was posthumously named King of Han.

Later, the title of King of Han was given to his seventh son Li Yuanchang.

"Your Majesty, you just told Li Fu that you live in Banzhengfang. If Li Fu comes to Chang'an City to visit you, how should you respond?"

Li Yuan just thought that Li Xiaogong's house was in Banzhengfang, so he said it casually. But if Li Fu really came, he couldn't find out when he asked around. What should he do?

"Well, Xiaogong, you buy me a house in Banzhengfang, tidy it up, and buy some servants." Li Yuan said, "It will be my place to stay outside the palace. If Li Fu really sends money there in the future, let the housekeeper receive him and send someone to the palace to tell me."

"If he asks why I'm not at home, I'll say I'm doing business in the palace."

Li Xiaogong nodded.

This is reasonable.

"This money comes from my treasury. According to Li Fu, the profit in a year can be equal to that of a restaurant. In the future, the money for purchasing the house will be earned back." Li Yuan had a smile on his face.

He wanted to see how Li Fu made money.

In Li Yuan's view, this was an interesting thing. He was in the deep palace every day, facing government affairs and seeing struggles.

And this trip out of the palace, investing in a business, naturally wanted to see how much return there was.

Although he didn't spend a penny on the business, this was considered a profit.

Li Yuan didn't care that Li Fu regarded him as a backer.

Once Li Fu's identity was confirmed, he was really his backer, no matter in which aspect.

If he wanted to do some business and make some money, then let him go. The royal bloodline has been wandering outside for so many years, suffered so much, and the manor is still poor. What's wrong with making some money?

Li Fu made money to repair the canal for the manor, and also for the sake of the people.

Thinking of this, Li Yuan thought to himself that he was indeed a member of their Li family.

Although he had to see the jade pendant left by Li Fu's mother to confirm it, in Li Yuan's heart, Li Fu was already a member of their Li family.

After all, what the housekeeper Zhao said was all right.

How could ordinary families have guards, servants, and such a large amount of money to buy land and farms?

But their Li family has this foundation.

Even if the third brother is not a legitimate son, he is not short of money.

I just don't know why the third brother didn't bring them back to the Li family.

After thinking about it, Li Yuan still thought that it might beAlthough the third brother's wife died, his second wife was also a lady from a noble family. Li Fu's mother was of low status and was pregnant. Did the third brother want to save the child?

Li Yuan's third brother Li Hong had always been in poor health. After marrying, his wife died of dystocia, and the child who had not been in trouble was also gone. Therefore, Li Hong was deeply shocked and became weaker.

Later, he remarried, but he still had no children.

As for Li Fu and his son, it was probably an accident.

With doubts and hopes, Li Yuan and Li Xiaogong returned to Chang'an City.

After they left, Li Fu sat in the study by himself, looking at the document in his hand, especially the seal at the end.

At this time, the door of the study was knocked.

"Come in." Li Fu responded.

Butler Lao Zhao pushed open the door of the study and walked in.

He wanted to talk to Li Fu about what the guest had said to him just now.

In Lao Zhao's opinion, a person cannot live a lifetime without knowing where he came from or who his father is.

Now that someone has come to recognize his relatives, if it is really a family that has been separated, and now they have found each other and can confirm their identities, it is also a good thing.

It is always good to be able to recognize your ancestors and return to your roots, so that you will no longer be rootless in the future.

After Lao Zhao entered the study, he stood opposite Li Fu's desk, thinking about how to start.

"What's wrong? What's the matter?" Li Fu asked with a smile: "Why are you standing here without saying anything."

"My dear, just now..." Lao Zhao pondered for a few words, and then said: "The two people who came just now may be your relatives."

"Relatives?" Li Fu was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "Impossible, absolutely impossible."

Li Fu's firm attitude made Lao Zhao stunned again.

"Why is it impossible?" Old Zhao asked, "When my wife passed away, she didn't have time to tell you who your biological father was. Did she tell you privately at the time?"

Old Zhao thought about it and it was possible.

Li Fu shook his head.

"Old Zhao, do you know the identities of those two people just now?" Li Fu asked.
