A servant led the way to the entrance. After entering the inner door, there was a long table with five or six clerks seated around it.
Zheng Fan walked up and handed over the silver taels.
The clerk in charge of registering Zheng Fan looked at the small pieces of silver, stunned. The General had passed away, and all the dignitaries of Nanwang City would come to offer condolences, but this was the first time he had seen anyone send condolence money in such a form.
To make an inappropriate comparison, it was like attending someone's wedding in a later era and presenting a gift of cash consisting of a handful of five or ten-dollar bills.
But the staff at the General Mansion were indeed highly professional. Following protocol, they first took out a small scale to weigh the silver pieces. Then, they turned the gift register towards Zheng Fan and handed him a pen, gesturing for him to write his name.
Zheng Fan signed his name and turned the register back to the clerk.
