Chapter 15: Second Class Guards

"Brother Wan's family is really a kind person!" When the earth cannon boy heard Wan Qingping's words, he couldn't help but sigh, and now there are fewer and fewer people who know how to repay their kindness.

Wan Qingping hurriedly humbled his second mother, and then entered a nearby restaurant with the earth cannon boy, eight dishes were ordered, and two jars of good wine were placed, which was a meal of nonsense and sea drinking, most of which went into Wan Qingping's stomach that lacked oil and water.

"Bang!" A blue and white porcelain teacup was thrown to the ground, and suddenly became several petals, the little maid hurriedly cleaned it up, and asked puzzledly: "Miss, why are you angry?"

"Hmph!" Miss Zhao Er snorted lightly, "Wan Qingping, what a treacherous thief!"

"Wan Qingping? Oh, the slave and maid remembered, it's the person I met today, right? The slave and maid think that person is good, and there seems to be some reading person's temperament between conversations!" The little maid was a little puzzled, and at the same time crossed her fingers and said: "He is also powerful, anxious and righteous, and he also knows that the Thanksgiving Picture is good, except for the bad looks, the others are very good! My mother said, men don't need to be good-looking, just be good!"

"Hmph!" Miss Zhao Er looked at the pure little maid, and couldn't help but snort angrily, but at the same time, she was a little impressed by Wan Qingping's excellent senses.

On the second day, Wan Qingping instructed the second brother to take a good look at the little sister Yanyan, so he went to the Zhao Mansion with the joyful Erniang who specially carefully combed and dressed up. When he arrived at the gate of Zhao's mansion, he made it clear that he was coming, and the porter did not dare to stop him, so he went in to report, and after a while, the earth cannon boy who had been agreed upon yesterday greeted him and led Wan Qingping in.

Zhao Mansion is very luxurious, worthy of the name of Chishui City's wealthy businessmen, not only pavilions and rockeries are readily available, but also the eaves corridor is more tortuous, five steps and a pavilion, ten steps and a floor, so that the first time to enter such a large family Wan Qingping almost did not remember how to turn the road.

Entering the Zhao Mansion to do errands, naturally go to see the master first, the earth cannon boy took Wan Qingping and the two to a simple and elegant main hall, a man and a woman are almost forty years old and sit on the main seat, while the four servants and maids are waiting on both sides.

"Little woman Wan Liu's visit to Master Zhao, Mrs. Zhao!" Erniang hurriedly blessed a blessing, and at the same time presented a pair of splendid embroidery embroidered by herself overnight, in addition to the pattern of rich peony, there are also eight words "good home, rich and longevity".

"Wan Qingping, a man from the mountains and wilderness, visited Mr. Zhao and Mrs. Zhao, and wished Mr. and Mrs. Zhao a smooth sailing, a good year, and all the best!" Wan Qingping hugged his fists, looking like a person from the rivers and lakes.

"Well, yes, Wan Liu's family, it's rare that you still remember the kindness of my Zhao family's porridge, but my Zhao Mansion is not trying to repay the kindness to give porridge, it's good that you have this heart, so let's go to the kitchen to help cook first, and the monthly money will be calculated according to the third-class family." Mrs. Zhao knew that this person repaid the favor, so she nodded with satisfaction, and Wan Liu's family listened to the words that the master allowed to stay, and hurriedly thanked her.

"Wan Qingping, I heard my nephew talk about your righteous deeds yesterday, it is said that you are good at martial arts, so let's be a second-class guard first!" Mrs. Zhao continued, while Wan Qingping thanked him, with a grateful look on his face.

"Wan Guard, I don't look like a vulgar person when I hear you talk, have you ever read a book?"

"Master Qiqi, my family was also a well-off family back then, the family had 100 acres of fertile land, my father once sent me to the school, and later worked as a scholar in a large family, a total of seven or eight years of books, poems and songs, classic articles dare not say, but literacy and hyphenation, or not a problem!" Wan Qingping knew that these big families, especially those of this size, would not accept a person of unknown origin lightly, so he vaguely pointed out that his background was not a reckless robber and bandit in the rivers and lakes, but a down-and-out son of a well-off family, so that people could rest assured.

"Well, reward, five taels of silver per person!" Master Zhao was really satisfied after listening to Wan Qingping's words, even if there was a reward.

Five taels of silver, this is not a small amount, usually a family of four, a month's expenses are so much, and a trace of envy and jealousy appeared on the faces of several subordinates next to him.

In this way, Wan Qingping settled down in the Zhao Mansion and became a second-class guard.

The guards of the Zhao Mansion are divided into four classes, namely ordinary guards, third-class guards, second-class guards, and first-class guards.

To say that Wan Qingping's real ability is actually the level of the third-class guard, the Zhao Mansion has a total of nine third-class guards, most of them are some small officers in the army; the second-class guards were originally three people, and now there are a total of four people plus Wan Qingping, except for Wan Qingping's things, they all have the third-rate level of the rivers and lakes, and Wan Qingping is still some distance from the third-rate, and this time he can be regarded as a second-class guard, thanks to his radical words the day before yesterday.

A first-class guard, is a second-rate level of swordsman, who was rescued by the Zhao Mansion in the past, and later in order to repay the grace of saving his life, he became a guard in the Zhao Mansion, and at the same time served as the head of the rest of the guards.

As for ordinary guards, there are quite a few, after all, the Zhao Mansion is engaged in grain trading, and it requires a lot of manpower guards to transport grain.

Escorting food generally requires a second-class guard to lead the team, but Wan Qingping's strength cannot reach the third-rate level, plus he has just entered the Zhao Mansion and is not familiar with everything, so he has no errand to send down, and he is very idle.

The second-class guard has a monthly allowance of twenty taels of silver, and if he goes out to escort him, he will also add some silver. However, Wan Qingping is also very satisfied with twenty taels of silver, when he was in the Qinglou for only four taels of silver a month, and now he has turned it over several times, what is not satisfied!

It's idle every day, but it's also boring, so I asked the first-class guard for advice on martial arts, this is called Chen Rui's guard head is not selfish, as long as it is the Zhao Mansion guards are patient and excellent teaching, it seems that they are indeed loyal to the Zhao Mansion.
