The Great Seminary

Chapter 40: Going against the ancestral decision (Part )
The Zhang family's main residence is located in the center of Pingyang Town.

It is guarded by four inner squares, eight middle squares, sixteen outer squares and twenty-seven miscellaneous squares.

If the rest of the town is the body of a giant, then this is the giant's brain.

Its grand scale is comparable to the palace where the Prince of Kaifu handles government affairs.

The regulations were avoided because the house was built low and there were no ceremonial vessels or royal flags.

The entire mansion has many gates.

The main gate is only opened to receive imperial edicts, high-ranking officials above the third rank, or heads of noble families above the county rank.

There are also four side gates to welcome visits from officials of the seventh rank and above.

Eight side doors that are not locked at night.

This morning.

Zhang Gui came to the side door of the Zhang family's main residence, the "Si Nong Fang", and handed over his business card.

Several of the doormen are old hands. After getting up early to deal with the managers who come to work, they begin to stretch and scratch lazily.

The concierge who was about to deliver the card was a middle-aged fat uncle. He held Zhang Gui's card and said coldly:

"It's already the 21st of the lunar year and you're still posting for a job? Is it that urgent?"

This is actually a hint for Zhang Gui to seek benefits.

Zhang Gui naturally knew what was going on, so he took out a tael of silver and quietly put it into the fat uncle's hand.

“Forgive me, forgive me.

Yesterday, the elders in my family said that they found a job for me as a clerk in the "Si Nong Fang".

Let him take office immediately.

It is said that the clan needs to add some capable people to handle the business with the royal merchant Shuanghu Rong family.

It's almost the end of the year and you're still busy."

Upon hearing this, the guards around widened their eyes and unconsciously tightened their muscles.

The fat uncle instantly turned into a sunflower, smiling broadly and saying:

"Oh, oh, I'm so blind and didn't recognize which family you are from.

You later, later.

I'll pass the post to you right away."

Zhang Gui looked like a teenager of only fifteen or sixteen years old, and was obviously about to do something.

He started out as a clerk leader and had to do the most important task in the clan, which was to contact the Rong family.

This might be the real god baby in the temple, who is trying to gain some fame and experience by gilding himself.

If you offend such a person, his parents may just say a word and dismiss your job as a security guard. Who would dare to neglect him?

But who knew that when the fat uncle was called up by name, none of the managers of the "Si Nong Fang" had any intention of summoning Zhang Gui.

It seems like this is fake.

But if you say it's fake, the person in charge of personnel will immediately pick up a waiter's badge that has been prepared long ago from the table and order:

"Give the badge to the person who comes.

Let him go to Wangbei Village and ask Zhang Bazhen, the head waiter, to do the work."

"Yes." The fat doorman was confused and couldn't guess the significance of Zhang Gui's background.

Although he was not very smart, he had worked as a doorman for many years and naturally had a good sense of judgment.

I would rather break the walking stick of a sixty-year-old man than kick the hip of a sixteen-year-old boy.

The young gang leader is someone you can't afford to offend no matter what.

So after the fat uncle got the badge, he ran back to the side door without wasting a step.

He handed the badge to Zhang Gui respectfully.
"Sir, please keep your badge.

The steward in the room had something important to discuss, so he didn't call you in.

But he left some words.

I'll ask you to go to Wangbei Village and find Zhang Bazhen, the head waiter, and you'll naturally know what the errand is."

"Looking for 'Wangbei Manor'? Great, I'm planning to go there."

Zhang Gui's eyes lit up when he heard this. He took the badge and took out a tael of silver from his sleeve and stuffed it into the fat uncle's pocket. "Uncle doorman, you gave me a good start.

I'll treat you to another drink, thank you very much."

Unexpectedly, Zhang Gui, despite his youthful appearance, was so open-minded and honest. The fat uncle smiled sincerely, bowed sincerely and said, "Thank you very much, sir.

I wish you a bright future and a long and successful journey.”

Zhang Gui laughed heartily upon hearing this and said, “That’s not necessary.

gone. "

Turned around and strode away.

The fat uncle happily collected the money, stretched, and continued to stretch and chat with the other guards.

For Zhang Gui, getting the badge means he has taken office.

He went to the clan's stable, showed his badge, and then led an old chestnut horse away towards the town.

In winter, biting winds blow from the offshore.

This is much more unbearable than yesterday's weather which was cold but cloudless, with the sun shining brightly and making me feel warm.

Although the horse Zhang Gui rode was not as strong as a mature horse, its pace was neither fast nor slow, and it was steady and suitable for short-distance work.

However, due to his poor riding skills, he could only slow down again and again when he left the town and headed against the wind.

Zhang Gui was walking unsteadily on horseback, his head bowed and his back bent, when he heard someone shouting from behind:
“Hey, boy, can you ride a horse? You run slower than a pig.

Watch the road carefully, don't let our large group of people bump into you and scare your horse, causing you to fall to your death."

"Xu Huzi, you are a barbarian. How can you curse people like this during the New Year? Be careful not to damage your virtue.

Don't take it to heart, little brother. I am a kind-hearted person of my generation, and I often say good things and bad things. Please don't blame me."

Zhang Gui turned his head and looked back, his eyes suddenly widening.

It turned out to be hundreds of young and strong slaves heading to Wangbei Village, accompanied by their guards, dozens of ox carts, and hundreds of slow horses.

The one who was yelling at Zhang Gui was one of the guard leaders.

He has a square head and a full beard. He rides on a tall horse and looks left and right, looking very majestic.

The one who stopped him from talking nonsense was another guard leader.

The thin middle-aged man smiled even before he spoke, looking very friendly, but a closer look revealed a cold look in his eyes.

Zhang Gui naturally would not miss this good opportunity. He turned his horse around, showed his badge, and said:

"My name is Zhang Gui.

The head waiter from the Zhang family in Pingyang had just been transferred to Wangbei Village.

I've never ridden a horse before, so please don't blame me for blocking your way."

"Hey, are you the head servant of the Zhang family in Pingyang?
Don't the names of the Zhang family members in Pingyang all have to have a number like "one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine" in the middle?

You are the head of the gang at such a young age, how is it possible that you are not even the head of the family?

Is he a liar? "

This question was naturally asked by the big-headed bearded man with an extremely bad mouth.

Zhang Gui had already entered the role by now. He pretended to be angry even though he was not angry in his heart. He took out his waist badge and threw it to Hu Zi, while saying expressionlessly:
“Big brother has such a mean mouth.

My father's name is Zhang Bashan, and he will soon be appointed as the Minister of Agriculture for the surrounding villages.

It’s just that my mother is not the legal wife, so her name has two characters.

Perhaps if I do a good job with "Wangbeizhuang", I might be able to add three more characters.

So I paid extra attention to this task and wanted to say hello to you two in advance when I met you.

As for the authenticity of the identity.

The waist badges of our Pingyang Zhang family have hidden patterns on them. We have been dealing with them for three to two months, so I guess you two know about it.

You may want to check it out to see if it is real.

However, Pingyang Town is close to here, and I have never heard of anyone who dares to impersonate our Zhang family.

Although the power of "Zonghengshu" is mediocre, it can still kill people."

This statement is well-founded and even reveals the details of his biological father, which is extremely true.
