Cao's father and mother knew that Cao Su had taken a job as a guard.

I couldn't help but be happy.

The Cao family is not a large compound, and what the two elders want to see most is for their two sons to have a bright future.

Originally, Da Lang of the Cao family was a good role model, but later he was beaten and disabled.

This disability forced the emergence of a more capable Cao family man.

Today, Cao Su joins the martial arts school as an outer disciple and is hired as a guard by the Yu family. His personal social status and family status have risen rapidly.

The guards of rich businessmen are already beings that ordinary people would not dare to offend.

Although Cao Su is not very unusual, Cao's father and Cao's mother attach great importance to him.

It can be compared to the most important thing during this period, besides choosing a bride for Dalang.

Cao's father and Cao's mother bought a new pair of cloth shoes for Cao Su.

Because Cao Su had always been wearing the martial arts training clothes, which were considered new clothes, but now he had a new pair of cloth shoes and new equipment, which was very different from before.

This made Cao Xing a little bit disgusted when he saw it.

"I don't know if I can wear a new pair of shoes when I get married."

He muttered quietly, but Mother Cao happened to hear him.

Mother Cao smiled and said, "It's okay. Your feet are all about the same size. Just ask Ah Su to lend you his shoes for two days."

It turns out I really didn’t plan to buy new shoes.

Cao Xing felt like an arrow had hit his knee.

This marriage was too miserable.

.......

After Cao Su and Yu Wu reunited.

So he joined the Yu family's guard team.

There are three old guards in the guard team, who are the Yu family's own guards.

The leader is called "Old Huang".

Lao Huang is very old, but he is in good spirits.

He was wearing gray robes, with a long knife hanging on his high horse, and a deep scar on his left cheek.

"The most important thing for us as guards is to know the meaning of "guard"."

"What you protect is the safety of your boss, and what you protect is his life."

As soon as he opened his mouth, he was an old guard.

Lao Huang then talked about some "rules".

It probably means that everyone should follow his orders. If they encounter a thief, they should send out a warning message as soon as possible, and don't get hot-blooded and fight alone.

Although the words are trivial, they sound reasonable.

Cao Su wrote it down very carefully.

After leaving Beicheng, everyone quickened their pace.

After being in this world for so long, this is the first time Cao Su has left the city.

He had long wanted to leave the city.

It's just that I was too weak before, and I was still a little panicked about the unknown world.

It's obviously much better now that everyone goes out of the city together as a group.

The world outside the city is vast and vast.

The fields on both sides of the official road were covered with white snow; as far as the eye could see, the fields were covered with weeds, and the sky and the earth were vast.

The Yu family's manor is more than ten miles north of the city, and it takes everyone an hour to walk there.

"Let's all take a rest tonight. Tomorrow many tenants in the manor will go to work in the fields, so I will have to trouble you to protect the manor."

Yu Wu raised his hands and said to everyone.

Everyone clasped their fists and returned the favor. This was the agreed upon work, and it should be the way it should be.

There are two types of guards: patrolling and standing guard.

According to Zhuangzi's layout, three groups of people were divided.

In addition to the original guards in Zhuangzi, the new guards formed a new patrol team. They were one class and consisted of three small teams, wandering around Zhuangzi.

Cao Su followed Lao Huang and belonged to the first team.

The entire Zhuangzi faces south.

It has a hard hill, a sloping roof, and a brick, wood and stone structure. It is laid out in three groups and six courtyards, with the main house in the middle and other buildings distributed on both sides in an orderly manner.

Cao Su carried a short sword in his arms and looked at it as he walked.

Compared with the compact houses in the south of the city, although the manor here is "countryside", it has a very spacious space and can be regarded as a "mansion unlike any other".

"The Yu family is really rich."

"It is said that this manor was not passed down from the ancestors of the Yu family, but was bought by the Yu family from another wealthy businessman a few years ago, which shows that the Yu family has strong financial resources."

While patrolling, Cao Su heard the guards talking.

They were all outer disciples of the martial arts school, and they were all familiar with each other, so they casually started chatting all over the place.

"Brother Cao, I heard that you have a very good relationship with Senior Brother Yu. This Zhuangzi, this shouldn't be your first time here, right?"

One of the disciples opened his mouth to talk to Cao Su.

But this is really the first time Cao Su has come.

His relationship with Yu Wu was not as good as expected.

It's just that a few days ago, he and Yu Wu were both "the last ones in the martial arts school", and he never looked down on anyone, so he and Yu Wu talked a few more words and developed a slight friendship.

Cao Su smiled: "I have only been a martial arts master for less than a month. This is indeed my first time here."

"Then we are all the same, it is our first time."

The disciples were talking and laughing and were relatively relaxed.

This is indeed an easy job. Once half a month is up, you can earn 2 taels of silver.

Of course, there will be some risks, but the risks are insignificant compared to the benefits.

"Zhuangzi is pretty good, but everyone is busy plowing the fields in spring, so it's less popular."

"The New Year Festival is coming soon. Once the New Year Festival is over, Zhuangzi will be even busier."

The New Year Festival is the most important festival of the year.

Once the New Year Festival is over, it means turning over the old year and ushering in the new year.

Part of the reason for the "high salary" of Cao Su and others is that it happened to be during the New Year Festival.

When spring comes, all things grow.

People pray for good weather and avoid disasters in the new year by offering sacrifices to gods, ghosts and ancestral spirits.

In the realm of Pingcheng, people worship the "Supreme Tianyuan God".

Usually, it is also called "God".

........

........

New Year's Day.

People in Zhuangzi slaughtered pigs and sheep and gathered together.

Most of the people in this village are tenants of the Yu family.

A small number of people are from the Yu clan, about two hundred people.

At first glance, there are quite a lot of them.

In front of the main hall, an offering table was placed.

On the offering table are family trees and family rules, sacred tablets, incense burners, offerings, etc.

"Play music to welcome the ancestors!"

With a loud shout.

The whole Zhuangzi became solemn.

The Yu clan members roared.

All fell to their knees.

The head of the Yu clan stepped forward, took three long incense sticks, and respectfully inserted the long incense sticks into the incense burner.

After three knocks.

The head of the Yu clan began to recite the sacrificial rites.

"In the seventh year of Zhengguang's reign, people of the Yu clan dared to use sacrifices to pay homage to the gods of the Yu clan and the ancestral spirits of the Yu clan. The gods were in Xuanji, bringing benefits to the wilds, and were transformed into gods with supreme virtue. Who will be able to follow them later?

..."

Cao Su stood in the distance and watched silently.

For example, the Cao family in Pingcheng has only a few branches, which are poor and have no space.

During the New Year Festival, we couldn’t even get together.
