Chapter 8: Leaving Home**[Part 1]

Zhang Yuan finished looking at the store and then discussed cooperation with Hu Yong. However, it was better to say that Hu Yong unilaterally sponsored Zhang Yuan to open the store...

First of all, Hu Yong gave Zhang Yuan’s first batch of goods for free to supply Zhang Yuan’s grocery store opening, and in the future, a batch of goods will be provided at the beginning of each month, and the goods will be delivered to your door.

Secondly, Hu Yong promised to help Zhang Yuan find a shopkeeper, two clerks, and several guards who were looking at the store.

Zhang Yuan is not someone who likes to take advantage. Hu Yong provides so much help, Zhang Yuan takes advantage. Of course, Zhang Yuan knows it very well. However, on the other hand, Hu Yong is also taking advantage of Zhang Yuan. The whole Tizhou knows that Zhang Yuan is Zhang Jiao's nephew. Hu Yong and Zhang Yuan are in contact with Zhang Yuan, so he can naturally gain Zhang Jiao's favor. If Zhang Yuan can give Hu Yong a few good words in front of Zhang Jiao, Hu Yong will naturally benefit from it. Zhang Yuan also knows this very well, so Zhang Yuan will accept all the benefits Hu Yong gave.

After watching the store and discussing the cooperation, Zhang Yuan took Zhang Sihu and two guards back to the Zhang Mansion. As soon as he walked into the gate of his yard, he saw his mother Zhang Song sitting on the stone bench in the yard, with Bai Mei, Qingqing and Yuting chatting aside.

"Mom, you are here." Zhang Yuan called out after entering the door.

"I'm back." Zhang Song stood up with a smile, walked to Zhang Yuan, grabbed Zhang Yuan's hand, and said, "Are you tired?"

"I went out for a walk, how could I be tired?" Zhang Yuan said casually.

"Oh." Zhang Song suddenly sighed, and then said, "Let's go in, and my mother talks to you."

"Okay." Zhang Yuan was confused and said to himself: "What's wrong with mom? Why did you sigh suddenly?"

Zhang Yuan followed Zhang Song into the bedroom. Yuting placed the tea set on the stone table in the courtyard on the tray, and also entered the bedroom with the tray, and then placed the tea set on the table in the bedroom...

"You guys go down, I'll talk to Yuan'er." Zhang Song said.

"Yes, the fourth lady." Zhang Song's personal maid and Zhang Yuan's three maids responded in unison.

When Zhang Yuan saw Zhang Song send all the maids away, he was even more puzzled, so he asked, "Mom, what are you going to say to the child?"

Zhang Song looked at Zhang Yuan with a serious expression and said, "Yuan'er, have you just visited the store? Have you also accepted the land deed for the store?"

"Yes, I have seen the store and I accepted the land deed yesterday. Is there anything wrong with it?" Zhang Yuan asked.

"Oh." Zhang Song sighed again, and then said, "Yuan'er, you are only thirteen years old now. If you open a store, that is, you have your own industry. Do you know that after you do this, it will be equivalent to leaving the relationship with the Zhang family's industry."

Zhang Yuan frowned and said, "The Zhang family's industry belongs to the eldest brother in the future. I didn't have mine at first. Now, what does it have to do with the Zhang family's industry?"

Zhang Song showed regret and said, "You were young before, and I didn't tell you about family matters. It's all my fault. Yesterday you asked to open a shop, and I wanted to stop you, but your father was there, so it was not convenient for me to speak. I wanted to come to find you last night, but your father spent the night with his mother's place, and he was delayed for a while. He came here this morning, but I didn't expect you to go out again."

"Mom, what's wrong? You can explain it clearly first." Zhang Yuan said anxiously.

"Yuan'er, look at your second and third brothers, have you ever had your own industry? It's not that they are not capable of buying their own industry, but that they don't want to have the rules at home, not that the eldest son of the house. If they have their own industry, they will leave the Zhang family and move out of the house." Zhang Song said with regret.

"Uh? There are rules? Why don't I know? There are no rules in the family." Zhang Yuan said in surprise.

"The family rules are not written, but this has been done by the family for generations. If the family rules are not written, it is also a rule." Zhang Song said.

"..." Zhang Yuan was speechless. The rules of the Zhang clan really killed all the descendants of the backbone.

Zhang Song touched Zhang Yuan's face and said, "I guess your elder brother and the butler will come to you tonight to discuss your move out of the Zhang family..."

Zhang Song said this, took out a neat folded handkerchief from his arms, spread the handkerchief, and there were several silver notes inside, and then said, "This is some of my mother's savings, you can take..."

"Mom." Zhang Yuan hurriedly interrupted Zhang Song's words and pushed them back, saying, "You should take this silver note back. I am not short of money. The store was given by my second uncle. I didn't spend any money. I also introduced a wealthy businessman to me. He promised to provide me with a batch of goods for free, and the shopkeeper and clerk also found it. The store will be opened in the next two days. I didn't spend a penny and just waited to make money, so I can't use this money..."

"You kid!" Zhang Song interrupted Zhang Yuan's words, his tone was a little angry, his eyes were red, and he looked very sad, and he said, "There are many rules at home, and you don't spend much time with your mother. I feel uncomfortable. It will be even more difficult for you to meet someone in the future..."

Zhang Song said this, wiped his tears and said with a reluctant smile: "You take the money, you are leaving home. There are so many things to spend in the future. Everything is good at home, but every step outside is difficult. How caring do you have to be? Don't suffer any losses..."

Zhang Song said one by one, Zhang Yuan listened silently, and a feeling of melancholy surged in his heart, and at the same time, there was a sense of warmth. Since he was reincarnated into this world, although he was very close to the people in the Zhang family, his father, aunt, mother, second, third, eldest brother, second, third brother, Zhang Yuan showed enough closeness to these, but these were all disguises because he was not the real Zhang Yuan at all...

However, at this moment, Zhang Yuan looked at Zhang Song, who was chattering in front of him. He suddenly saw his mother's care. It was so warm that he had the urge to cry. Zhang Yuan did not suppress this impulse. His eyes were astringent, and a little tears fell from the corners of his eyes...

"Why are you crying?" Zhang Song said, wiping Zhang Yuan's tears away and saying

"Mom." Zhang Yuan called out from the bottom of his heart, and then said, "I will come back to see you often in the future!"

At dusk, the west mountains are filled with red clouds, and the fire clouds dyed with golden edges are covered with golden...

Zhang Yuan sat on the wall, looking up at the sky, thinking nothing, just staring at the golden fire clouds in a daze. While he was in a daze, Zhang Ren and Zhang Jing came to Zhang Yuan's courtyard door and knocked on the door knocker.

When, when, when...

When Zhang Yuan heard the knock on the door, he looked at the gate of the courtyard, smiled, and said, "It's true."

After Zhang Yuan finished speaking, he jumped off the wall and wanted to open the door, but Qingqing, who was originally standing in the yard, walked to the door first and asked, "Who?"

"It's me, the butler, the eldest young master is here too." The voice of the butler Zhang Jing came from outside the door.

Qingqing hurriedly opened the door and welcomed Zhang Ren and Zhang Jing in. Zhang Yuan also walked to the door at this time and said with a smile: "Brother, Uncle Jing, you are here."

"Haha, do you know we are coming?" Zhang Jing said with a smile.

"My mother came in the morning and told me the rules of the mansion." Zhang Yuan said.

"Oh." Zhang Jing responded, without saying anything, and Zhang Ren said, "Fourth brother, have you really thought it through?"

"There is nothing to consider, follow the rules." Zhang Yuan said with a smile.

"Oh." Zhang Ren sighed and said, "Fourth brother, you have to think carefully. Leaving home is not that easy, let alone you are still young..."

"Brother, don't persuade me, I've made up my mind." Zhang Yuan said firmly.

"..." Zhang Ren opened his mouth and finally swallowed the words back into his stomach.

At this time, Zhang Jing spoke again, "Fourth Young Master, Uncle Jing said something more. There is a mess outside, and the second Master is launching an uprising again. You are leaving the Zhang family now. Personal safety is a concern. If someone knows that you are the fourth Young Master of the Zhang family, maybe someone will deal with you. Have you considered this?"

"..." Zhang Yuan had never considered this matter. He was really worried after hearing what Zhang Jing said, but now it was an arrow on the string...

"Fourth brother, why don't you think about it for a few more days?" Zhang Ren advised.

Zhang Yuan touched the tip of his nose, hesitated for a moment, then took a deep breath and said, "Brother, no need, let's do what you should do now. I will move out of my house in the next two days. As for my safety... I will hire a few more guards. Besides, I will live in the backyard of my shop in the future, which is the center of the city and is close to the city lord's mansion. There are people guards guarding it day and night, so the safety problem is not big."

"Fourth Young Master..." Zhang Jing advised him again, and Zhang Yuan interrupted Zhang Jing directly and said, "Uncle Jing, don't persuade me. Although I am a little younger, I am not ignorant. Some things must be done sooner or later, so why bother to drag them?"

"...Okay, I won't persuade you." Zhang Jing stroked his beard, looked at Zhang Ren, and said, "Young Master, look, are you now..."

"Oh." Zhang Ren sighed, waved his hand, and said, "Uncle Jing, you can do it."

"Okay." Zhang Jing responded and said to Zhang Yuan: "Fourth Young Master, let's go to the study to talk."

"Okay." Zhang Yuan said and walked towards the study. Zhang Jing followed in, but Zhang Ren did not enter the study, but sat on the stone bench in the yard and waited quietly...

About fifteen minutes later, Zhang Jing and Zhang Yuan walked out of the study after talking, and then Zhang Yuan sent Zhang Ren and Zhang Jing out of the courtyard...
