The emperor's family raised me in poverty? But I have an innate ability.

Chapter 1 An Old Scholar Came to the Village

At the foot of the mountain, Qingshan Village.

Just as the sky was getting light, a young man hurriedly opened the door.

"Changqing, don't leave in a hurry. Here are two pheasant eggs. Eat them on the way."

A middle-aged man with a hunched figure and a few strands of silver hair stuffed two eggs into the boy's hands.

"Dad, Mom is not in good health. Give it to Mom. I'm not hungry."

Su Changqing's throat moved up and down as he looked at the egg in his hand, but he still handed it back.

"Ahem, silly boy, mom has already eaten, you can eat it on the way. How can you study on an empty stomach?"

A woman walked out of the house, looked at the boy kindly, and reached out to touch his head.

"Mom and Dad, I will study hard!"

After a moment's silence, Su Changqing nodded heavily, picked up the egg, and ran towards the foot of the mountain in the distance like the wind.

The couple looked at Su Changqing kindly as he walked away, and only breathed a sigh of relief when he could no longer see his figure.

"Can't you see it?"

"Well, we've all left the village, so we probably won't see it anymore."

"Hey, I'm so tired of pretending."

As a flash of light passed by, the woman who had just been feeling unwell and coughing, turned rosy-faced.

An indescribable temperament emerges from the bones, and the whole person appears dignified and elegant.

Ye Shu turned to look at the villager beside him, shook his head with amusement and said:
"The current head of the Su family, a great imperial family, is pretending to be an old man here. If anyone knew about this, they would probably laugh at him to death."

The middle-aged man who was hunched just now gradually straightened his back and became tall and strong. He just stood there, but he seemed to have the whole world under his feet.

Hearing this, Sunan said unhappily, "What do you think I think?"

"Do you want Chang Qing to be like his elder and second brothers? One is arrogant, the other is proud. Which one of them is fit to be the young master of a family?"

"This time I'm going to let Chang Qing train from the bottom, abandon his family background, and go through hardships. I'm determined not to let him become a playboy!"

Ye Shu shook his head and sighed when he heard this.

For the sake of his youngest son, Sunan was really determined and moved to Qingshan Village as soon as Changqing was born.

In other words, Qingshan Village was established because the entire village was populated by people from the Su family.

They pretended to be villagers in the mountains, working from sunrise to sunset.

This pretending lasted for eighteen years, during which they neither taught Changqing cultivation nor any knowledge.

It's simply about establishing character and having correct values.

It was not until Changqing came of age two days ago that Sunan spent a huge amount of money to invite a teacher to give him enlightenment.

The contemporary Confucian immortal, Li Qingchen!

"I heard that Mr. Li is very strict in teaching. Will Changqing be unable to accept it for the time being?"

Thinking of the leader of literature, Ye Shu said worriedly.

"It's better to be more demanding, so that you won't be complacent. I've told you, sir, don't give me face. The more demanding, the better."

Su Nan chuckled confidently and said, "Besides, how can it be so easy to become a disciple?"

"Just wait and see. Chang Qing will come back in a dusty state soon. I have agreed with Mr. Li that he will be accepted as a disciple after three visits."

"This way, Changqing will cherish the hard-earned opportunity and study hard."

Having experienced two failed educations, Sunan did his homework this time.

"Changqing should have no problem studying. He is very smart. When I taught him to read, he remembered it after just one reading." Ye Shu said hesitantly.

Although they did not teach Changqing any other knowledge over the years, he still learned simple reading and writing.

She remembered that Changqing learned very quickly, very quickly.

Su Nan waved his hand nonchalantly and said with a confident smile:
"Oh, no problem? He is a contemporary Confucian Immortal. Just wait and see. Chang Qing will be back before noon."

……

On the green mountain path.

Su Changqing, dressed in coarse linen, ran all the way in the morning light. The villagers who got up early to go to the fields on the road greeted Su Changqing with a smile.

When Su Changqing ran away, everyone slowly put down the farm tools in their hands and started talking in low voices.

"Why did the young master get up so early today? Does the head of the family have new arrangements?"

"You didn't know? The head of the family invited a gentleman from Zhongzhou yesterday to be the young master's enlightenment teacher."

"Ah? What kind of person does our patriarch need to invite? This is too much of a favor!"

"Haha, the great teacher of Zhongzhou Saint Academy, Confucian Immortal Li Qingchen, is he qualified enough?"

"Enough, enough, it's too much for the head of the family to be the enlightenment teacher."

Everyone was amazed. Li Qingchen's reputation was so great.

There are many great men in the literary world of the Five Regions and Ten Countries, but Mr. Li is the only one who has ever been given the title of Confucian Immortal.

He was the leader of Confucianism and Taoism, a powerful figure so powerful that the entire literary world could tremble with just a stomp of his feet.

But who would have thought that such a person was only here to serve as the young master's enlightenment teacher.

"The enlightenment teacher invited a Confucian immortal just for the first time. The young master has started to practice. Who should the head of the family invite?"

A sturdy man murmured, and his breath was not sealed properly, and the space around him suddenly emitted a wailing sound.

"Dad, I want to study, too."

A young man next to the burly man raised his head and looked at him eagerly.

"What the hell are you reading! Do you think your father is also a quasi-emperor?"

The sturdy man glared at him, and the boy immediately shrank his neck and ran away.

"Tsk, if you don't want to read it, then don't read it. I'll let the young master teach me."

The young man muttered to himself as he took a step and was already a hundred feet away.

……

Su Changqing was completely unaware of the discussions happening behind him.

On the way, he carefully took a bite of the precious egg, with determination in his eyes.

"I've been here for eighteen years, and I don't even know which dynasty it is."

"It's not easy for an old scholar who failed the imperial examination to come to the village this time. We must not miss this opportunity to learn!"

No one knew that when he was ten years old, he recalled his memories of his past life.

Be it a dream or reincarnation, it is a very good thing after all.

With the experience and knowledge of an extra life, isn't it easy to change your life in this life?
However, Qingshan Village is too remote, with only a dozen households. There is no village in front and no shop behind, and no one even knows what dynasty it was in.

But now is the opportunity!

A few days ago, an old scholar who failed the imperial examination came to the village. His father begged for a long time and spent all his family wealth to get him a chance to study.

"Don't worry, Dad and Mom, I will never let you down!"

Thinking of his parents who had worked hard all their lives, Su Changqing's eyes showed tenderness.

Although my family in this life is not wealthy, my parents are very good.

They have low education, understand very little, and are not even physically strong, but they attach great importance to their education.

Often a small thing can guide him to the correct values ​​and outlook on life.

Especially this time, the news that the old scholar was coming was known to the whole village. Erniu, the brother next door, cried and wanted to come too, but his father broke his legs.

On the contrary, his parents were extremely supportive. Not only did they spend all their family wealth, they also begged for him for a long time.

As a rural couple who have lived in the mountains all their lives, it is rare for us to have such an understanding.

In short, for my own sake and to live up to my parents' efforts and expectations, I must succeed in this apprenticeship!

"call"

Soon, the wooden house at the foot of the mountain became clearly visible.

Su Changqing let out a long sigh, his face turned serious, he straightened his messy sleeves, walked slowly to the door, bowed earnestly, and spoke softly,
"Student Su Changqing comes here to study."
