Chapter 1 The day and night of the capital

In the sixth year of Kaitai, I graduated from the Taishan School. I was twenty years old that year. My first job was to work as a guardian in Zhang Xiucai's house, with a monthly salary of 500 liters and a guaranteed food and accommodation.

In fact, I was able to officially start my training, but I had a small accident in the graduation competition. According to the rules of the Taishan School, after learning, the Taishan School must pass the boxing, military, and counting four art exams and get the top review.

It was not difficult at first. I practiced most of the boxing techniques of the Taishan School, except for Jingtao Fist and Wuyue Fist, which only direct disciples can learn. However, I was unlucky in the interview, so I got the boxing technique that I only learned when I was in the beginning.

This set of boxing techniques has a total of eighteen styles. I have never reviewed them when preparing for the exam. After one set of gestures, I forgot the seven or eight styles. According to the senior brother who graduated last year, this is not a big deal. I just need to give the examiner a red envelope after the gestures.

But the unlucky thing was that I drank with my brothers the day before the exam, thinking that I was about to go out to explore the world, and a sense of pride was exaggerated. At the instigation of my brothers, I wrote a love letter to Su Wanqing, the goddess of the Taishan School. As a result, the love letter was given to the examiner's old virgin Sun Yun. The result was predictable, so I dropped out of school and started my studies.

The Taishan Sect is not a famous sect like Shaolin, Wudang, Qingcheng, and Emei. The disciples from such sects were recruited by the court, army or major families before they even left the army. The Taishan Sect is just a branch of the Five Mountains Sect, and it is even more difficult to find a job for an apprentice like me.

As a fledgling man, I wanted to learn from those travelers who had visited the Taishan Sect, and use my sword to visit the great rivers and lakes. My original intention was to find a job in the capital and earn some money. When I arrived in the capital, I defected to a senior brother Wang Qinian who started his education last year.

It is not as good as I imagined in the capital. I have encountered obstacles when looking for a job. My senior brother said that there are too many famous families in the capital. If the four major sects don’t accept their troops, they are just outer disciples from the four major families. Any martial arts are picked out and they will abuse me. Small sects like us can’t find jobs with too much salary when they come to the capital. They can only do jobs such as guards and security guards, and even urban management is not as good as us.

Senior Brother Qi Nian is now doing some collection work in a money shop, with a monthly salary of 800 yuan, and the bonus and dividends are calculated according to the collection situation. After staying in the capital for more than a month, the two taels of silver on him were clean. It was not a solution to rely on Senior Brother Qi Nian every day. In addition, he recently talked about a girl, so I moved out.

After a few years at another senior brother's house, Senior Brother Qi Nian found me and said he had introduced me to a job, and collected debts in a casino where a housekeeper in Yongding King was responsible for.

When I arrived at the casino, the manager saw my resume and saw that it was not the four major sects and eight major families, and his face was unhappy.

Sect?

Mount Tai.

Oh? Taishan School? What can you do with Muay Thai?

I have a dark thread in my head.

What are the relationships in Beijing?

There are five or six senior brothers.

what for?

I introduced them, and he shook his head and refused directly.

I don’t accept it. You haven’t tried my martial arts. Why did you refuse me?

The manager sneered, what era is this? It doesn’t matter if you are in Beijing, but you don’t look like you. We are not a charity organization, so why do you want you?

What's wrong with me? Although I'm not a handsome man, I'm also pretty and talented.

The manager said, do you think you are a fast boy? We run a casino, and Liu San at the door is more handsome than you.

I was despised. Although I was poor and innocent, I still had a little bit of backbone, so I didn't look out. I looked at Liu San with a fat face, and a scar on my forehead to my eyebrows. It's so handsome.

After this incident turned bad, I no longer had hope of finding a job in Beijing. When I was about to leave, I saw a piece of paper sticking to a wall on the side of the road. Zhang Xiucai, the Jinan Prefecture, recruited a hospital guard.

Zhang Xiucai is from Jinan Prefecture. After failing the imperial examination, his family spent money to donate an official. The mansion was just built and I went in for an interview. The housekeeper asked me what I could do. I became sensible and said, "I will break big stones on my chest." The other party asked if you would pull down the weeping willows? My face turned slightly red and I hit the tiger with bare hands. I did it a few times.

I gave me a stone lock of 200 kilograms, and I held more than 100 in one breath. When the butler saw it, he said, "You are so strong, you are the only one." The monthly salary is 500 yuan, which is for food and accommodation."

I said, I came here for the three words: food and accommodation.

OK, start work tomorrow.

Butler, how can you not today?

Why? I want to work so well, I have a good attitude.

Oh, no, I have no place to stay at night. Supper is not yet settled.

This is how my first job was settled. This year, the price of rice in Beijing was 200 yuan per dou.

This job is called a guard, but in fact it is just a dormitory. The main job is to run errands, do chores, receive customers, and be responsible for the escort work at night. This job is extremely boring and is far from what I imagined when I first went down the mountain.

After paying my first month's salary, I invited a few fellow disciples to have a meal at Zuixianlou, which cost 200 people. I complained about this kind of life with fellow disciples. A senior brother Sun Debiao was escorting at the Longmen Escort Agency and bragging to me about his experience of traveling around the world over the past few years. I was jealous. So I asked if I could introduce me to the Longmen Escort Agency.

Senior Brother Sun's words were a little flickering, and he didn't agree directly, but he told me that the Central Plains Escort Agency was recruiting workers. I had such good martial arts skills, so I could try it. I heard it in my heart.
