Yuelu Academy is located at the foot of Yue Mountain on the outskirts of Lucheng.

Han Jinnian, Ming Songping's teacher, usually lived in a small courtyard near the academy.

On the second day after arriving at the house on the outskirts of the city, Ming Yunjing and the third sister and brother of the Xu family took invitations and letters of recommendation and went to visit the Han family.

At this time, Xu Nanyan did not forget to take Dafang with him.

Ming Yunjing now has a very good impression of Da Fang, especially since the last time she spoke up and confronted Shen Wenxuan who appeared out of nowhere, he feels that this maid named Wen Fang is a lucky general.

Xu Nanyan's idea was much simpler. She simply felt that Da Fang was very considerate, so she wanted to take her with her wherever she went.

Before going there, several people did not know the specific location of the Han family.

However, the manager of the Xu Family Company very considerately arranged for two young men to come over and lead the way.

A few people took a carriage ride for a while, and walked for less than half a stick of incense before arriving near Han's house.

There is a plaque hanging above the front door of Han's house with the words "Han She" written on it.

Coupled with a fence wall as high as one person and an old wooden door, it is obvious that this plaque is very suitable for the occasion.

Xu Nanyan looked around at the environment around the Han family. If she was still very nervous before coming today, now she felt calmer.

She believed that her trip would be successful in all likelihood.

It should be noted that Han Jinnian was not only teacher Ming Songping, but also one of the vice-presidents of Yuelu Academy.

In this academy, even the deputy dean's family is so poor, which shows how serious the shortage of money is.

As for her Xu family, the most indispensable thing is gold and silver.

Ming Yunjing looked at the situation of the Han family and couldn't help but sympathize with his master, whom he had never met before.

He even felt that his father was really incompetent as a student. The home of his mentor was in this situation. There was not even a stone wall or a brick wall, and he didn't know how to help.

Even if people don't come to visit, it is still good to send some gold and silver notes.

Furthermore, his Ming family is not a family that lacks some gold and silver, right?

Da Fang, who was standing behind everyone, raised his head and glanced at the plaque above. He felt something was wrong. He opened his eyes and took a look, and his pupils shrank suddenly.

At first glance, the words on this plaque seemed to be intentionally made with a carving knife to create lines of different shades of color, but when she took a closer look, it was very different.

The word "humble house" is obviously a large group of characters smaller than a grain of millet, composed one by one.

Moreover, the writing style of those characters is also very beautiful.

This kind of plaque probably took a long time for craftsmen with extremely high craftsmanship to make.

Da Fang felt that if this plaque belonged to her family, she would not change it even if others gave her ten thousand gold.

It seems that this Han Jinnian family is not an ordinary wealthy family.

Her judgment was not without purpose.

The place where the Han family is located is also a place where culture gathers.

This kind of place is of little use to ordinary people, but for scholars, it is a rare and good place.

Then look at the golden light in the sky above the house. With such a strong literary atmosphere, it must be that a scholar with great merit is living in it.

"Is anyone home?

"Is Mr. Han at home?"

There were two rusty door knockers on the door of Han's house, but the boy walking in front took a step forward to see the situation clearly and did not dare to use them.

He was afraid that if he was too strong and didn't turn around to pull off the door knocker, he would knock down the two shaky doors again.

So, now he had no choice but to howl twice in front of the door.

Not long after, someone in the courtyard responded.

"Come on, come on, which family are you from?"

A young man walked out and after opening the door, he asked several people about their identities.

"Hello, sir, I am Ming Yunjing from the Ming family in Luodu. My father, Ming Songping, once studied under Mr. Han. In terms of seniority, Mr. Han is also my master. These three are Xu Nanyan from the Xu family in Luodu.

, as well as her second sister Xu Ruoxiang and younger brother Xu Lingyu..."

After Ming Yunjing introduced the identities of everyone, the man suddenly said: "Oh... you must have come to Yuelu Academy to study, and then you found our master's house, right?

"For this kind of matter, you'd better go to the academy and find the dean yourself. Our master is only the deputy dean and can't be in charge.

"Also, our master has gone out today, and his return date is uncertain. If you have any problems, you should find a way to solve it yourself."

The man answered very simply, obviously he had dealt with similar things many times.

"This... brother, it's not easy for us to come all the way from Luodu. Can you please help us first hand over the invitation and recommendation letter to Mr. Han?"

As soon as Ming Yunjing finished speaking, the man stretched out his hand as if he wanted something.

Xu Nanyan saw it and quickly took out a gold ingot from his arms and handed it over.

The man became happy when he saw the big gold ingot, "I asked you to give me something, but if you don't give it to me, how can I hand it over?"

Hearing this, Xu Nanyan looked embarrassed. She saw that the action of rubbing his hands was very similar to the gestures of the pawns in the previous life when asking for bribes, so she misunderstood.

In fact, not only she, but also Ming Yunjing standing next to her misunderstood.

He even focused on recalling what his father Ming Songping had said: The master was an upright person, but how come the servants in the family were so greedy for money?

Now that I heard the man's explanation, it made sense. It turned out that they were just overthinking it.

Then, Xu Lingyu hurriedly took out the recommendation letter from her arms, and Ming Yunjing also took out the invitation letter and handed it to the man together.

After taking the things, the man waved his hands and started to chase people away. Then he closed the door of Han's house regardless of everyone's resentful looks.

Before leaving, Da Fang glanced at the room with his spiritual consciousness, and his face was stunned for a moment.

"Let's go, Wenfang."

Seeing Da Fang stunned, Xu Nanyan reminded her.

"Yes! Miss."

Back at the house where everyone rented, Xu Nanyan called Dafang over alone.

"How's it going? Can you see what's special about the Han family?"

When Dafang heard this, he knew that Xu Nanyan had also come to his senses and felt something was wrong.

After all, if Yuelu Academy is really so poor and the Han family is not rich, there is no need for the young man just now not to accept that ingot of gold.

After all, someone who really wants to ask Han Jinnian for help will definitely not argue too much with a money-hungry servant, and may even take the opportunity to use gold and silver to please him.

But here's where things get weird.

If the living conditions of the Han family were really poor, why would they hire a servant with such a good temperament that he didn't look like a servant?

Upon closer inspection, there are indeed many suspicious things.

Before Da Fang could reply, Xu Nanyan took the lead in speaking out his thoughts.
