Sun County is a county at the junction of the northern central part of the Great Jin Dynasty. However, in terms of area, this county ranks last among the 36 major counties, but in terms of wealth, it can rank among the top five.
The areas under this county are mostly plain water towns, with rich resources, and there are many Lingshan Mountains and rivers. There are even mortals who often see immortals dressed in monks and Taoists flying between the sky in these Lingshan Mountains.
Therefore, the trend of believing in Buddhism and worshipping Taoism in this county was prevalent for a while. Buddhist courtyards and Taoist temples were spread all over the county. Whether it was powerful, wealthy, or farmers and pawns, they were all respectful to both.
However, in addition to the Buddhist and Taoist religions, there are many abnormalities in this county's academies, and the shadows of academies and private schools can be seen in the villages of the Fucheng City, big cities, small towns and villages.
These academies are obviously divided into three or six grades. The first-class academies have great scholars who teach the Four Books and Five Classics. Their targets are children of officials with great identities. The small private schools with the lowest rank are just ordinary Confucian scholars who teach, and they can only teach basic Confucian ideas and explain some of the most basic scriptures.
Once you discover the outstanding talents, you will recommend them to the upper academy. This is an excellent opportunity for the poor to leap into heaven.
After all, Confucian scholars who could come out of high-level academies were very popular among the upper class of the Great Jin Dynasty. Confucian scholars who came out of several academies of the highest ranks, and even those rank-level officials and lords and marquises were trying their best to attract them.
Taichang City, the prefecture of Taichang Prefecture, is such a big city with academies.
Although this city is not as famous as the number one Wuguang City, in Nanjun, it is the most popular city with dignitaries and wealthy merchants.
There are three or four families of Duke and Marquis alone, and there are countless mortals engaged in all walks of life.
The Gan family located to the west of Taichang City is one of the wealthy businessmen in Taichang City. This kind of wealthy businessman with nearly 20 restaurants in each city of Taichang Prefecture is not an exaggeration to call him rich in other smaller cities, but in this city, it is only among the rich.
However, despite this, the Gan family also owns a large house in a wealthy area in Taichang City. There are as many as thirty or forty servants and maids in the door, which is a considerable mansion.
On this day, just at noon when the sun was scorching, a young man dressed in a Confucian shirt slowly walked from the intersection of the street.
This young man is over 20 years old and is very young, but behind him is a thick and long package wrapped in gray cloth, looking dusty.
As soon as the young man entered this street, his eyes kept looking for something left and right. After a while, when he finally saw the huge plaque of Gan Mansion hanging on the dark and greasy door of the Gan family, he couldn't help but smile on his face.
He walked forward a few steps to the door, looked at the Gan family's door again, and without hesitation, he stepped forward and knocked on the iron door knocker twice.
After two light sounds, a rushing sound of trotting came from the door.
The young man was stunned when he heard this, as if he was a little surprised, but a moment later the door was quickly opened halfway, revealing a middle-aged man's face full of respect, wearing the clothes of a man.
When the man saw the young man in front of him, the respectful expression on his face suddenly froze, and then quickly calmed down and disappeared.
Who are you looking for?The man, who was about to bow down, straightened up and asked suspiciously, his eyes kept scanning the young man up and down, trying to see something from the other party.
Is this the mansion of Uncle Gan Chi?The young man bowed his hand and said with a smile.
Uncle Gan Chi?Gan Chi is the name of my master, and the young master is... After seeing the young man's clothes, the man in the door showed a bit of contempt on his face, but now he was shocked when he heard this and immediately became three points of politeness.
Han Li is a distant relative of Uncle Gan Chi. This time he came to visit his uncle.The young man in front of him, Han Li, said with a smile.
It was already the time for him to go into seclusion for a year after he was in seclusion that day. After some careful practice, with the help of the power of the Heavenly Corpse Pearl and the Vajra Relic, he finally practiced into the first level of Mingwang Art. The evil aura that was originally a little ready to move immediately became much more stable.
This made Han Li feel very happy, but he didn't dare to delay and set off immediately and headed straight for the Gan family that he had planned long ago.
It turned out to be Mr. Han Ah. This is really a coincidence. The master went out to make friends early in the morning, and now the eldest son is the one who decides the house.Want to report it to me at a small price?The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment and said this.
Then there will be Brother Lao.Han Li raised his lips and said calmly.
Please wait for a while, the younger one will come back soon.The middle-aged man nodded and bowed, then closed the door again, and then went straight to the back to report the message.
Han Li stood leisurely in front of the door, looking back at the other giant houses nearby and some horse-drawn carriages and pedestrians passing by.
Although he had not scanned the city with his spiritual sense, it was obvious that there were quite a few immortal cultivators in this city, and they were very regular in several places in the city, and there were also high-level monks in it.
This made him quite curious and was really interested in how these monks entered the world.
After a cup of tea, the door was opened again with a creak. This time, a young man walked from inside.
This young man had a pretty face, wearing a brocade robe, and standing behind him was the servant man who had just run away.
This is Mr. Han, who is in Gan Yu.I heard that Brother Han is a distant relative of the Gan family. Although I have never heard of it, I should not be too rude. If I don’t dislike it, Mr. Han might as well follow him to the living room to talk.Gan Yu looked Han Li up and down and said politely.
It turned out to be Uncle Gan’s son.Since Brother Gan said so, Han won’t refuse.Han Li was not polite either. He thought about it for a moment and agreed.
Gan Yu smiled slightly, turned slightly, and invited Han Li into Gan Mansion, while the dark gate was silently closed.
……
An hour later, the head of the Gan family who left early in the morning, a fat old man in his fifties, wearing a blue outer robe and returning to the outside of the Gan Mansion in a carriage.
Is something wrong in the mansion?The old man named Gan Chi got off the carriage and saw at a glance that the eyes of the guard guards were a little flashing, as if he had something to say.
Master Qibing, there is a young master named Han who claims to be your relative. He has been invited to the living room by the eldest master. Now he seems to be having a good conversation with the young master.The man guarding the gate immediately replied honestly.
relative?The surname is Han?The old man originally wanted to step directly into the mansion gate and asked in a slight change of tone, with a faint look of surprise.
how?This person is not a relative of the master, but a liar?So, should I call the official to come right away?The middle-aged man was shocked and said hurriedly.
It’s hard to say whether I’m a liar or not. I seem to have such a relative, but it’s been too long and I can’t remember it very clearly.Just guard your door, there is no need to worry!Gan Chi's face turned aside and scolded the person in front of him. He hurried into the mansion gate and rushed to the hall before he even changed his clothes.
Before he could enter the hall, as soon as he reached the entrance, the old man heard an unusually familiar chuckle from inside: Brother Han actually studied the Four Books and Five Classics so thoroughly. I really admire him.However, I think the words of the wise man in the book should be understood in this way... This is clearly the laughter of the eldest son, as if he was talking to the guest.
When the old man heard this, his face was slightly gloomy, and his eyes flashed, he looked a little uneasy.But after a moment, he gritted his teeth and walked into the hall without hesitation.
My father, this young master Han is... When Gan Yu saw that it was his father who came in, he immediately stood up and bowed respectfully.
Um!I've heard from my servants.You are the young master Han who claims to be a distant relative. I wonder what letters and tokens you can carry with you?Gan Chi's mind was all over Han Li, and he waved his hand to his son, then glanced at Han Li and asked slowly.
Han Li also stood up from his seat at this time. Hearing such a question, he couldn't help but smile.I immediately touched the sleeve with one hand without saying a word, took out a half-width jade pendant with white light, and handed it over.
The moment Gan Chi saw the jade pendant, his face finally moved.
He solemnly took the Yu Peizai and looked carefully, then a trace of his face showed a hint of enlightenment and said: So you are really a descendant of Brother Han.Come with me to the study room, and I want to ask in detail about my deceased aunt!The old man grabbed Han Li's wrist and was extremely excited. Then he immediately took Han Li away from the hall and rushed to his study.
aunt!Does the Gan family have this distant relative?Gan Yu stood in a daze in the hall and pondered, feeling a little confused.
See Mr. Han!As soon as Fang entered the study room and carefully closed the door of the study room. Gan Chi's face immediately changed and he bowed deeply to Han Li in an extremely respectful manner.
Get up!You don’t need to ask me in detail about my origin, just know that from today on, I will be the person who is responsible for contacting you.Han Li said lightly, then a green light gushed out as he brushed his sleeves, lifting the old man's body up automatically.
yes!The second gentleman who was originally in charge of contacting the Gan family has disappeared ten years ago and the villain is still worried about something. Now that the young master appears, it is really great.When Gan Chi saw Han Li casting his spell, he no longer had the last bit of suspicion in his heart and said more respectfully.
This time I came to your Gan family, I was just by the way. In fact, there are still other important things to do. This requires your identity in the secular world to help you.Han Li nodded with satisfaction and ordered in an undeniable tone.
