Chapter 938 Tongtian Lingbao Gan Family

Nan County is a county at the junction of the northern and central parts of the Jin Dynasty. However, in terms of area, this county ranks at the bottom among the thirty-six major counties, but in terms of wealth, it can rank among the top five. The areas under the jurisdiction of this county are mostly plains and water towns, rich in products, and there are also many spiritual mountains and rivers. Mortals often see immortals dressed as monks and Taoists flying in the sky in these spiritual mountains.

Therefore, the belief in Buddhism and Taoism was very popular in this county. Buddhist temples and Taoist temples were spread all over the county. No matter whether they were rich, powerful, or peasants, they all respected them.

However, in addition to Buddhism and Taoism, there are also many abnormalities in this county academy. The shadow of academies and private schools can be seen in all major cities, small towns and villages.

These academies are clearly divided into three, six or nine levels. The first-class academies have Master Su Ru personally teaching the Four Books and Five Classics, and the students they teach are all the children of high-ranking officials. The lowest-ranking small private schools only teach ordinary Confucian students, teaching basic Confucian ideas and explaining by professors. Some of the most basic scriptures. Once outstanding talents among them are discovered, they will be recommended to higher-level academies. This is an excellent opportunity for poor people to rise to heaven.

After all, Confucian scholars who could graduate from high-level academies were very popular with the upper echelons of the Jin Dynasty. Confucian scholars from the highest-level academies, and even the families of feudal officials and princes, tried their best to recruit them.

Taichang City, the capital of Taichang Prefecture, is such a large city with many academies.

Although this city is not as famous as Wuguang City, which ranks first, in Nan County, it is the city where most dignitaries and wealthy businessmen live. There are three or four princely families alone, and among them there are countless ordinary people of all kinds who are 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 who owns nearly twenty restaurants in various cities in Taichang Prefecture would be called the richest person in other smaller cities. But in this city, they are just waiting to be ranked in the middle or upper class among the rich.

But nevertheless. The Gan family also owns a large mansion in an area where wealthy people gather in Taichang City. There were thirty or forty people inside the door alone, including servants and maids. It was quite a mansion.

On this day, at noon when the sun was shining in the sky, a young man dressed in a Confucian shirt walked slowly from the street entrance. This young man was in his twenties. He was young, but he was carrying a bulging bag wrapped in gray cloth on his back. The thick and long package looked dusty.

As soon as the young man entered this street, his eyes kept looking to the left and right for something.

After a while, when he finally saw the huge plaque of 'Gan Mansion' hanging on the dark and glossy door of the Gan family, he couldn't help but smile.

He took a few steps forward and walked to the door. After looking at the Gan family door again, he stepped forward without hesitation and knocked twice on the iron door knocker.

After two soft "thumping" sounds, a hurried sound of trotting immediately came from inside the door.

The young man was startled when he heard this sound, as if he was a little surprised. But after a moment, the door was quickly opened slightly, revealing the face of a middle-aged man with a respectful look on his face, wearing the clothes of a servant.

When the man saw the young man in front of him, the respectful look on his face suddenly froze for a moment, and then quickly disappeared.

"Who are you looking for?" The man who was about to bow straightened up and asked a little suspiciously. His eyes kept scanning the young man up and down, trying to figure out something from him.

"Is this Uncle Ganchi's mansion?" The young man cupped his hands and said with a smile.

"Uncle Ganchi? Ganchi is my master's name. The young master is..." After the man inside the door saw the young man's clothes, there was already a hint of contempt on his face, but now he was shocked when he heard this. His tone immediately became polite.

"Your Majesty, Han Li, is a distant relative of Uncle Gan Chi. I came here specifically to visit my uncle this time." The young man in front of him, Han Li, said with a smile.

It was already a year after he practiced in seclusion that day. After some concentrated practice, and with the help of the power of the Heavenly Corpse Pearl and the Vajra Relic, he finally mastered the first level of Mingwang Jue, and the evil spirit that was about to stir up was immediately stabilized. many. This made Han Li very happy, but he didn't dare to delay and set off immediately, heading straight to the Gan family that he had planned for a long time.

"It turns out to be Mr. Han. What a coincidence. The master went out to meet friends early in the morning. Now the eldest son is in charge of the house. Do you want me to inform you?" Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man hesitated. After a moment, he said this.

"Then there's Brother Lao." Han Li raised the corner of his mouth and said calmly.

"Please wait a moment, sir. I will be back soon." The middle-aged man nodded and bowed, then closed the door again, and then went straight to the back to report the news.

Han Li stood leisurely in front of the door, looking back at the other huge mansions nearby, as well as some carriages and pedestrians passing by.

Although he has not scanned this city with his spiritual consciousness, it is obvious that there are many immortal cultivators in this city. And they are distributed very regularly in several places in the city. There are also some high-level monks inside.

This made him quite curious. I am really interested in how these monks came to be in the world.

After a cup of tea, the door opened again with a creak.

This time, a young man walked out of it.

This young man has a handsome face and is dressed in a brocade robe. The man standing behind him is the man dressed as a servant who ran away just now.

"This is Mr. Han. I am Gan Yu. I heard that Brother Han is a distant relative of the Gan family. Although I have never heard of it, I shouldn't be too rude. If you don't mind, Mr. Han will follow me to the living room without visiting. "Excuse me." After Gan Yu looked Han Li up and down, he said politely.

"It turns out he is Uncle Gan's eldest son. Since Brother Gan said so, Han Li refused." Han Li was not polite. He thought for a moment and then agreed wholeheartedly.

Gan Yu smiled slightly, turned slightly, and invited Han Li into Gan's mansion, and the dark door closed silently.

…

An hour later, the head of the Gan family, a fat old man in his fifties who had gone out early in the morning, wearing a blue military robe, returned to the door of Gan's mansion in a carriage.

"Did something happen in the house?" The old man named Gan Chi got out of the carriage and saw the guard's eyes twinkling, as if he had something to say.

"Master Qi, there is a young man named Han who claims to be your relative. He has been invited to the living room by the eldest young master. He seems to be having a great conversation with him now." The man guarding the door immediately said honestly replied.

"Relative, your surname is Han?" The old man originally wanted to step directly to the door of the house and ask with a slightly changed tone, with a hint of surprise.

"Why, this person is not a relative of the master, but a liar? Then should I go and call the official immediately?" The middle-aged man was frightened and said hurriedly to please him.

"Whether he is a liar or not, it's hard to say. It seems that I really have such a distant relative. It's just that it's been too long. I don't remember clearly. Just keep your door open. There's no need to worry!" Gan Chi's expression changed. After casually scolding the servant in front of him, he hurriedly walked into the door of the mansion, and rushed to the hall without even changing his clothes.

Before entering the hall, as soon as the old man reached the entrance, he heard an unusually familiar chuckle coming from inside:

"Brother Han has studied the Four Books and Five Classics so thoroughly. I really admire him. But regarding the wise man's words in the book, I think it should be understood this way..." This was clearly the laughing voice of the eldest son, who seemed to be talking to the guest. The conversation was in full swing.

When the old man heard this, his face was slightly gloomy, and his eyes flashed, looking a little uneasy. But after a moment, he gritted his teeth and walked into the hall without hesitation.

"Father, this Mr. Han is..." When Gan Yu saw that it was his father who came in, he immediately stood up and greeted him respectfully.

"Well! I've heard this from my servant recently. You are Mr. Han who claims to be a distant relative of mine. I wonder what letters and tokens he has on you?" Gan Chi's mind was focused on Han Li and he waved to his son. , after glancing at Han Li, he asked slowly.

Han Li also stood up from his seat at this time. Hearing such a question, he couldn't help but smile.

Immediately and without saying a word, he touched his sleeve with one hand and took out a half piece of white jade pendant. and handed it over.

The moment Gan Chi saw the jade pendant, his expression finally changed.

He solemnly took the jade pendant and looked at it carefully, then a hint of realization appeared on his face and he said:

"It turns out that you are really a descendant of Brother Han. Come to the study with me. I want to ask about some things about my late aunt in detail!" The old man grabbed Han Li's wrist and was extremely excited, and then immediately took Han Li with him. He left the hall and went straight to his study.

"Aunt! Does the Gan family have such a distant relative?" Gan Yu stood in the hall in a daze and pondered, a little confused in his heart.

"Join Mr. Han!" As soon as Fang entered the study and carefully closed the door, Gan Chi's expression immediately changed and he bowed to Han Li with unusual respect.

"Get up! You don't need to ask me about my origins in detail. Just know that from today on, I will be the person responsible for contacting you." Han Li said lightly, then he flicked his sleeves and a green light came out. Automatically lift the old man's body.

"Yes! The second gentleman who was originally responsible for contacting the Gan family has disappeared since ten years ago. I was still worried that something had happened. Now that the young master appears, this is really the best thing." Gan Chi Seeing Han Li cast a spell, the last doubt in his heart disappeared and he spoke more respectfully.

"I'm just stopping by to visit your Gan family this time. In fact, I still have other important things to do. I still need your help in this world." Han Li nodded with satisfaction and gave the order in a tone that could not be refused. road.
