fourth rebirth

"Ask me questions now, about this matter, about Lu Wei, in the order you think it's important, and I'll give you 1 minute." She asked Chi Zhe.

The time was too short, before Chi Zhe could clear his mind, he arrived.He can only go with his own feelings.

"Well," Chi Zhe bit his lips, feeling that his first question was not very appropriate, but he couldn't find a more suitable one, so he had to say, "Is his father still alive?"

Chi Ran raised his eyebrows, "Dead. Tell me the message you got from your first question."

Chi Zhe tried his best to follow his intuition, "His financial situation is not good." This was discovered when he entered the door, but it was only confirmed because of this problem.

"Father has sympathy for him, but he is not forceful." Otherwise, he would not have the opportunity to speak up, let alone let his children make decisions.

"The pity is because of his father's death." This is the easiest way to get it. Chi Ran said that the two families have not met in recent years, and Chi Zhe has indeed never heard Chi Yiqing mention someone surnamed Lu.

"Father and his father did know each other and had a good relationship." This is the source of compassion.

"But," Chi Zhe frowned, "kindness is tricky."

This is actually the most important point.

If the kindness does not exist, then no matter who that person is or what his purpose is, it has nothing to do with the Chi family.Drain from the bottom of the pot, without salary, naturally there will be no fire.

Chi Ran only allowed him to ask about Lu Wei.He also hit the edge of the ball.

"That's all?" Chi Ran asked.Seeing her younger brother nodded, she commented lightly, "Not bad."

"second question."

"Who raised Lu Wei and where?"

……

After a few simple questions and answers, Chi Zhe, who was still racking his brains to think about the next question, suddenly realized that he couldn't find any more important questions.

Because things are clear.After he only asked questions related to Lu Wei, the whole matter was clearly in front of his eyes.

Lu Wei's father and Chi Yiqing were old friends, but because of something, most likely the so-called kindness, the relationship faded away.The fault is most likely Lu Wei's father.

Lu Wei is the product of his father's one-night affair, and his mother is a boat girl by the water.He should have had an encounter with his father when he was a child, and knew about Chi Yiqing, but not all.

After his father's death, he lost his mother through some accidents, which fueled his ambitions.But he is just a child raised by a boat mother and has not received a very good education, so he decides to put all his eggs in one basket.He found Chi Yiqing.

There may be discrepancies in the details, but the general content is settled.

"Chi Zhe, do you still remember how the teacher who taught you how to write the first argumentative essay said the basics of writing an argumentative essay?" Chi Ran was a fat loli who obediently followed her younger brother to school when she was in junior high school.She has a deep memory of that class, not because she loves learning so much, but because the teacher made her understand her way of thinking in a more intuitive way.Moreover, for Chi Zhe, who has always been a top student, this is also a good entry point to improve his confidence.

"Well," Chi Zhe didn't have much impression of that class, but he had a photographic memory, so he extracted it from his mind according to the search methods of school, junior high school, Chinese, composition, argumentative paper, and the first class. That memory, "is thinking first—what, why, how?"

Photographic memory is actually a painful ability in daily life. Simply put, Chi Zhe is a standard house dweller, living in an extremely closed environment. Apart from school and film crew, he doesn't have many scenes to memorize.Most of the memories will be thrown into the deepest part of his mind and only retrieved when needed.

Or it can be said the other way around, because of the ability of photographic memory, Chi Zhe voluntarily became an otaku.

But he still remembers things about school quite clearly.No way, more than three-quarters of his life was spent there.

"That's right," Chi Ran nodded, "This is actually a very practical way of thinking." She explained to Chi Zhe the results of her analysis of his previous answer, "Chi Zhe," she looked straight into his eyes , "Your ability to grasp the key points is good, but your thinking is too scattered. This may help you get a surprise at some point, but it is easier for you to ignore some key points." Chi Zhe's way of thinking is more biased For sensibility, it is a mixture of reason and intuition.Chi Ran was keenly aware of this from the order in which he asked the questions.

"Now," she raised her chin to Chi Zhe, "try to explain Lu Wei's matter with those three things."

"Uh," Chi Zhe probed hesitantly, "what is it—it's Lu Wei who wants to get the quota."

"Why—because his father has a friendship with our father, and even has kindness among outsiders."

"How to do it—he found us. As long as we confirm that the kindness is fake, the whole thing will be invalid."

Chi Zhe suddenly realized.

That's right, this way of thinking is indeed worse than his previous one relying on intuition, and the results that can be analyzed are less, but at the same time, its advantages are also extremely obvious.Fixed, can be applied, will not make a big mistake.

Seeing his younger brother's dazed look, Chi Ran chuckled.In fact, many times, things are as simple as they are, but others have put layers of coats on them, making them gorgeous and complicated.Chi Zhe's way of thinking is based on his powerful memory and intuition. It has loopholes, but it is also the most suitable for him.Therefore, she only chose the simplest and roughest logical thinking to teach him.

"Don't forget the question I asked you to think about earlier," about your own advantages, "Go back to your crew if you have nothing to do, I want to see your results before June." Standing up, Chi Ranliu in a robe Give Chi Zhe a lazy and soothing back.

"Well." After saying goodbye, Chi Zhe also left in a hurry. He really needs time to think about what happened today.

Chi Ran, who was out of Chi Zhe's sight, was far from being as lazy as she showed. After resting on the big bed in the bedroom for less than two hours, he woke up very consciously and drove to the airport.Tonight, she made an appointment with an important person in Kyoto, an important person who might change her life.

The elder of the clan presbytery—Chi Han.

This Elder Chi Hanchi is also a very special existence in the clan elders' meeting.He is not the oldest, not the most powerful, not the wisest, nor the most feared, but this kind of him is the most respected by the clan elders.

Because he is the one with the purest blood, and the one who insists on this purity the most.

Different from the views of other families and ordinary people, the Chi family, who is a royal family, regards marriage with an aristocratic family as a kind of pollution to the blood.There are many reasons. For example, when the dynasty was established, the family disliked His Majesty the first emperor in various ways.For example, the aristocratic family that used their surname to be proud of the prince, even married the daughter of the Chi family, wanted their children and grandchildren to have the right to inherit, but only changed the surname of their children and grandchildren in the year of the crown prince election.Another example... But in the final analysis, the most fundamental reason is actually just one - the aristocratic family is the most powerful provocateur to the status of the Chi family's royal family.

Based on this, the Chi family is extremely disliked by the aristocratic family.However, this dislike did not stop the infiltration process of the aristocratic family into the clan elders' meeting.

The so-called aristocratic family must be an old monster who has been at the top for hundreds of years or more.The last thing they lack is time, one year, two years, ten years, 50 years... For the Chi family, it is enough time to establish a new dynasty, but for them, it is just a blink of an eye.One generation, two generations, three generations... After the hard work of several generations, even the strongest members of blood in the clan elders have to admit that the family has gained a foothold in the elders.

No matter how much the elders of the clan can manage, they can't manage the marriage matters of every clan member.

You can't just look at immediate interests.Everyone understands this kind of truth, but how many people can really refuse the olive branch offered by the family or other families?Anyway, there are still many people in the Chi family who insist on it. It doesn't matter if I'm one less. Many people are thinking this way.

Therefore, under such circumstances, Chi Han, whose ancestors had always refused to marry into the aristocratic family, stood out.Not disappointing his bloodline and the teachings of his elders, he is also a die-hard bloodlineist.

Therefore, no matter how strong his ability is and how pure his bloodline is, under the intervention of the power of the aristocratic family, he will only become the elder of the clan elders, not the most powerful one.

His obsession with blood and his desire to revive the glory of the Chi family's royal family made Chi Ran choose her.

"You mean," Chi Han spoke in a very slow tone, and every slow word seemed extraordinarily heavy, "Chi Siyuan is the blood of the royal family."

Chi Siyuan is Mr. Chi's full name.

"Yes." Chi Ran replied affirmatively.

"Where's the evidence?" Chi Han's expression remained the same, his hands holding the leading crutch did not move at all.

"No." Chi Ran shrugged and answered calmly.Meeting the sharp eyes of the old man opposite, she smiled calmly, "That should be the fact that His Majesty the first emperor tried his best to conceal, and it is not something that a junior like me can find out."

Chi Ran was gambling, betting on the secrets of old master Chi's ambition.You are betting on that future, and you are even more betting... on the ambitions of the people in front of you.

There was no news from the border, and she had no time to wait.The royal family is the only way out for her and Chi Zhe.

Of course, she never fights unprepared.The development of pedigree identification in this dynasty that pays attention to family status is beyond Chi Zhe's imagination.It is certain that Mr. Chi is of royal blood, but... it is not sure whether it is related to that Highness.

The eldest son of His Majesty the first Emperor, the His Royal Highness who secretly insisted on "family world" and was recognized by his own talents, but was assassinated by the aristocratic family and the powerful.

He is the most outstanding of all the descendants of His Majesty the First Emperor, and also the only outstanding one.If not for his death, perhaps, the history of this dynasty would have been rewritten.

No one knows whether His Majesty the Emperor, who proposed the so-called constitutional monarchy and shared the world with the scholar-bureaucrats, regretted it.

Should you not regret it?

Because, sorry, it's too late.

Chi Ran, who always hinted at the life experience of Elder Chi Han and Mr. Chi, smiled and looked at the old man in front of him, "Then, I will leave everything to you."

"Ah."

"I have one," Chi Ran said in a drawn-out tone, "a very good, very good brother." This is already a clear indication.

"I think he is a young and promising talent." Elder Chi also said very well.

Transaction complete.

Neither of them had any extra words, but they already understood the meaning of the other's words.Chi Ran put the right to choose in the hands of Elder Chi Han.The Chi family does have royal blood, and the wonderful thing is that no one knows which highness the old man Chi's blood came from.Therefore, whether it is the blood of His Highness depends on the "investigation results" of Elder Chi.

And in the same way, Chi Ran also exchanged this for a chance for Chi Zhe.As for whether he can finally achieve his goal... it depends on his younger brother's performance.

Chi Ran said goodbye with a smile.

In the bright interior, the old careerist still stands upright even when there are no other people, with a solemn and solemn posture, standing like a green pine.He stood by the window and looked up at the night sky of Kyoto.The stars were blocked by tall buildings, leaving only two or three here and there, and the moon was also flickering.What he saw was the starry sky, but what he saw was the future of the Chi family...

After sitting in the car for a while, I dug out a box of cold fresh milk from the freezer, and Chi Ran drank it all in one gulp, and then couldn't help shivering on this night when the summer is not yet here.

It was really cold, but because of this, her brain became clearer a lot.

Throwing the empty bottle aside, Chi Ran took another bottle of milk from the freezer, pressed the cold bottle to his forehead with one hand, and took out the thin sheets of paper with the other.

So far, she has been able to investigate the information of her uncle.

Tonight, she still has a tough battle to fight.

After a silent sigh, she spread her limbs and lay down on the back seat in an extremely inelegant posture.

She had never felt so tired in her life.
