What a lucky world!

Chapter 235 The temptation of a famous family

Zhanjiabao, located forty miles southwest of Xingqing Prefecture, is a small town with a population of more than 2,000, mainly with the surname Zhan.

According to local chronicles, the ancestors of Zhanjiabao were a group of deserters who hid their identities, changed their names to "Zhan" (meaning "war"), and took "Zhan" (meaning "peace") as their surname. They settled here together and over the centuries, the place developed into Zhanjiabao.

There are four branches of the direct descendants of the Zhan family in Zhanjiabao, who jointly rule Zhanjiabao.

Today, Zhanjiabao is decorated with lights and is in a festive mood. Pork, beef and mutton are sent into the fort in a continuous stream. The wine and drinks that were originally intended to be sold outside are used in the fort first. The whole fort has been holding a buffet for half a month, and it is as joyful as the New Year.

All this is because of one thing——

Young Lord Zhan Changhai has advanced to the Judan realm!

The Judan realm is the peak of martial arts mastery and the pinnacle of most martial artists' lifelong practice.

And with Zhan Changhai's advancement to the Judan realm, there are now two people in the Judan realm in the entire Zhanjiabao!

In Taiping County, which other family could boast two people at the Judan Realm at the same time? It was only the century-old, prestigious Taiping Fan family in the county town.

But now, they also have their own castle!

The rumors among some old people in the fort had spread long ago, saying that with two people in the Judan realm in charge, his Zhanjia Fort would soon be promoted from a poor family to a famous family!

What are the benefits of becoming a famous family?
First of all, the family fortune is stronger.

This good fortune is not only enough to support the continued emergence of the Judan realm in the next generation of the Zhan family, but it also has great benefits for other bloodline clan members, such as faster cultivation and more outstanding talents for the next generation.

What was once a fatal disaster may now be avoided with the blessing of the family's luck; what was once a small fortune may now turn into great wealth with the blessing of the family's luck.

In short, although luck is mysterious, it can really change one's destiny.

If you don't believe me, just look at those wealthy and powerful families. Except for those fools who are stubborn and insist on going against the trend, all of them are rich and happy until now.

Especially the Five Surnames and Seven Clans. Even though the dynasties have changed several times, they are still as stable as Mount Tai.

This is the blessing of the power of luck.

The luck will never fade and the family will prosper forever!
Secondly, the reputation of the famous family.

Once you become a famous family, you will have reputation. Whether it is weddings, funerals, or business or official work, people will look up to you.

A family is a circle with family members.

Can a noble family and a poor family like you have any say in the matter?
A head of a humble family might not even be able to get around the doorman of a noble family!
But it’s different for famous families.

A noble family, after all, has entered the threshold of nobility and is eligible to enter the sight of the aristocratic families. A visiting card from a noble family delivered to the aristocratic family's mansion would definitely not be seen by the head of the other family, nor could it enter the main hall, but at least a direct descendant could see it and drink a sip of the family's hospitality tea in the side hall!
If Gao marries a girl from a noble family or a wealthy family, he will have relatives in this circle. Although this kind of relationship is not very reliable most of the time, it is always a ladder to climb up the stairs.

A rope ladder is also a ladder!
Trump Coin is also a currency!
If there is another burst of luck at that time and a master emerges, then they will become the top among the famous families - a wealthy family!
If he operates in detail and for several generations, through hard work (pitting), thriftiness (deception), support (robbing), and plundering, he can stabilize his luck. Perhaps the next place in the aristocratic family will be his!

This is also the process of how most families become rich.

Although this involves several generations and seems too far away from people today, the continuation of bloodline is the top priority in the eyes of human beings.

If you let me die and give my son 10 million after my death, then I'll have to consider it. But if you say that after my death, green smoke will rise from my grave, and my descendants will be rich and powerful for generations, and they may even produce the top scholar or even the emperor, then I will immediately ask you where I should be buried.

Just kidding, the first page of the family tree, the first row of the ancestral hall, the first bunch of incense!
True man's temptation!

Therefore, the Zhan family originally wanted to hold a buffet for three to five days like the Chinese New Year, but the people of Zhanjiabao did not agree!
Half a month! At least half a month!
The host doesn’t have to pay, we’ll pay for it ourselves!

It's just a request.

Rebuild the family tree!

No name can be missing!
Third, it is the grace of God.

The Dayun period used the imperial examination system to recruit officials, but also retained the system of favoritism, which was mainly an honorary title.

For example, a famous family would receive three favors every ten years, which would guarantee them a sixth-rank Zhenwei captain.

Don't underestimate this official who is granted favor. In fact, he is the bond between the fortune of a family and the imperial court. Through this bond, the fortune of the imperial court will be more inclined towards the family.

The most obvious manifestation is that the imperial court would give luck money to the family in the form of official salaries.

This is extremely important for families that are unable to gather luck money on their own.

Therefore, becoming a famous family is like a soaring of destiny for a family, or for every person in the family!

...Zhanjiabao, Chunfengdeyilou.

Zhanjiabao is famous for its wine, so naturally it has its own restaurant. The Chunfengdeyilou is the most luxurious place in the castle.

Chunfengdeyi Tower has a total of five floors. Those present today are all direct descendants of the fort. They drink more happily than those outside.

After all, if Zhanjiabao became a famous family, they would be the group that benefited the most.

I am so proud of myself, really proud of myself!
At this time, on the top floor of Chunfengdeyi Building, a father and son sat opposite each other, but their faces did not show the joy that others had.

This father and son are the current helmsmen of Zhanjiabao, Zhan Tiankui and Zhan Changhai.

"What's happening at Qianyuan Mountain?" asked Zhan Tiankui.

"I haven't received a reply yet." Zhan Changhai said.

Zhan Tiankui sighed: "I was still a little reckless!"

Zhan Changhai looked a little unhappy. He put down his wine glass and said, "Dad, I've taken the horse and offended the people. Look at the situation in the fort now... I can't take the horse and go to Qianyuan Mountain to apologize!"

"That's not what I meant!" Zhan Tiankui waved his hand. "I just think you should discuss this matter with me and we can work it out in the long run!"

"There's no time, Dad!" Zhan Changhai said, "Master Dumu said that the new leader of Qianyuan Mountain is as talented as him. If we wait and make plans, he might even advance to the Judan realm!"

"We can only strike first!"

Zhan Tiankui frowned and said, "What if they don't fall for my trick and concentrate on practicing in the mountains, and then come to trouble my Zhan Family Castle after they have made a breakthrough?"

Zhan Changhai sneered, "I've already sent people to spread the news of the horse seizure. If he doesn't take any action, he will definitely be looked down upon by the other martial arts camps!"

"If that doesn't work, I'll try to rob him a few more times."

"I don't believe he can bear it!"

Zhan Tiankui looked at Zhan Changhai's smug expression and didn't want to attack him directly, so he asked, "Are you really only missing one spiritual weapon?"

Zhan Changhai nodded. "According to Master Dumu, in order to improve a faction's luck, besides the combat effectiveness of its members, inheritance is also very important."

"In aristocratic families, this is called suppressing destiny!"

"Usually, the inheritance is protected by the family spiritual soldiers!"

"We, the owner of the house, lack this."

"Master Dumu said that Sha Tonghai had indeed followed his connections, and he also gifted Sha Tonghai with a yellow-level spiritual weapon."

"But Sha Tonghai still died in Qianyuan Mountain."

"Even if Lin Jinglong fought to the death, he could only exchange a blade with Sha Tonghai at best. The spiritual weapon in Zhang Mu's hand is even higher in quality than the Nightmare Sword bestowed upon him by Master Dumu."

"Enough to become the guardian spirit soldier of my Zhanjiabao!"

"Also, Master Dumu said that if we succeed, he won't ask for the Nightmare Sword back, and it will also belong to our Zhanjiabao!"

Upon hearing this, Zhan Tiankui said no more and just nodded.

At this moment, a servant went up to the top floor, walked to Zhan Tiankui's ear and whispered a few words. Zhan Tiankui finally smiled.

"Hahahaha, son, come on, follow your father to welcome a distinguished guest!"

Zhan Changhai was stunned: "Distinguished guest?"

Zhan Tiankui nodded and said seriously, "The leader of the County City Hunting Gang is Wang Wenlu!"

……

At the same time, Zhang Mu, Ye Hanzhou and Bai Jingqi were standing on a small hill with three horses.

Bai Jingqi pointed towards the distant town with his whip and said with a smile, "Master Zhang, Brother Ye, Zhanjiabao is ahead!"

There is still one today, and I am writing it.
