Not long after.
The main entrance of Gan Mansion.
Below the altar table, Gan Yu and his wives, children, and servants knelt on the ground.
In front, a stretch of auspicious clouds descended, with an angel slowly unfolding an imperial decree and reading aloud:
"By the Mandate of Heaven, the Son of Heaven decrees: Jinshi Gan Yu, loyal to His Majesty's cause and a model of teaching in a region, is hereby granted the Eighth Rank Supreme Court North Dipper Secret Papyrus and appointed as the loyal and brave School Captain of Black Stone County in Panlong Prefecture, of the Eighth Rank. Let it be respected!"
The angel finished reading the decree and said in a high-pitched voice, "Lord Gan, receive the decree!"
Gan Yu wore a mixed expression, part smile and part tears, feeling some resistance inside.
