Aunt Zhou's hand was held by Xia Mai tightly, and she was also a little at a loss, not knowing what happened to her today.

Xia Mai waited for a while and finally calmed down a little, looked at Aunt Zhou and said loudly: "Auntie, our uncle has been knighted." What kind of general is a three-grade one? The same official as Uncle Zhen of Dongfu. ”

After hearing his words, Aunt Zhou suddenly got up from the chair and asked Xia Mai excitedly, "Really? How do you know? You can't be joking with me, right? ”

Xia Mai replied excitedly: "Auntie is not wrong, the eunuch who passed the holy decree just now has just left, and now it has been spread all over the house, and our uncle has really been knighted." We'll have a good life in the future. ”

After hearing this, Aunt Zhou burst into tears instead of being happy, and the sadness on her face became heavier and heavier.

When Xia Mai and the little girl next to her were excited, they saw that Aunt Zhou was not only unhappy, but cried, and asked puzzledly: "Auntie, this is a great joy, why are you still crying?" Beware of people gossiping and seeing. ”

Aunt Zhou gritted her teeth and kept twitching, took Xia Mai's hand and said, "You don't understand, you only see him promoted, how do you know his suffering." These official titles were all earned by him with his life. Which time can this be without danger on the battlefield, he was promoted so quickly to think that every time he fought desperately, every time he took the lead, my mother thought of him suffering these things, I would rather not want him to be promoted, and stay by my side obediently, even if he is poor. It's all because I, a mother, have no ability, so that he can work hard outside at such a young age. ”

After listening to Aunt Zhou's words, Xia Mai knew that Aunt Zhou didn't put Jia Ke down all the time in her heart, everyone only saw her scenery, who knew that she was worried behind her back.

Aunt Zhou was sighing to herself there, when she suddenly heard the little maid outside say, "The master is here." ”

When Aunt Zhou heard this, she hurriedly wiped away her tears, with a reluctant smile on her face, and walked to the door to prepare to greet Jia Zheng. But before he could reach the door, Jia Zheng opened the curtain and came in.

When Jia Zheng saw Aunt Zhou, he took two steps forward, and said to her excitedly: "Our son is now also a third-grade knighthood, and our Rongguo Mansion is finally not a bare pole now." I finally don't have to look down on that side anymore. This is the first time that Jia Zheng has told Aunt Zhou such a thing, which shows that he is also excited now.

Aunt Zhou saw that he was talking a little incoherently, so she hurriedly ordered Xia Mai to pour him tea, supported him on the seat, and said to him softly: "Master, I already know, our son really lived up to your hopes, and he will definitely glorify the lintel of Rongguo Mansion in the future." When she said this, she herself began to be proud, although Jia Zhu is the heir of Rongguo Mansion, but now she is still a white body, although her son is a concubine, but he is already a general of Sanpin.

Jia Zheng listened to her words and felt that it made sense, his son's luck was really different from others, and he would have great achievements in the future, and he was excited like this now, how could he be good in the future? So I calmed down and wanted to get serious again, but I couldn't hold back the smile on my face.

Jia Zheng felt that he could be worthy of his ancestors and ancestors at this time, and Rongguo Mansion did not cut off the title in his hands, at least the next two or three generations will still be able to attack the lord.

Jia Zheng has always felt insecure in his heart, since the eldest brother was separated from the mansion, he lived in Rongxi Hall, and the Rongguo Mansion actually has no title, but there is still an old lady, and it can last for a while.

Now that his son has won the Sanpin General with his military merits, he can finally rest assured and can live in Rongxi Hall with peace of mind. From now on, he is the real head of Rongguo Mansion. I used to say that it was not good, but it was just escrow.

Jia Zheng calmed down his good mood, pulled Aunt Zhou and said, "This child you gave birth to is good, if you don't make it, our family will rely on him to live in the future." ”

Aunt Zhou didn't believe what he said, but he was too excited, so he was talking nonsense.

Jia Zheng didn't care whether Aunt Zhou believed it or not, he only said to her: "Big brother, your current identity is different from before, and it is not suitable for you to live in this small courtyard, and I will order someone to clean up the exquisite courtyard next to Rongxi Hall." You'll move in in a few days, and you'll be thinking of your son's blessing now. ”

Jia Zheng didn't feel a sigh after saying this, who would have thought that fate was so magical. In the past, Jia Ke was inconspicuous in the Rongguo Mansion, and he was overwhelmed by his sister-in-law Jia Zhu, but he didn't expect that now he has found another way and has completely gotten rid of the pressure brought to him by the Rongguo Mansion.

Aunt Zhou listened to Jia Zheng and was very happy to let her move to that exquisite courtyard. Finally, I don't have to live across a wall with Aunt Zhao. During this time, Aunt Zhao's finger and scolding Huai have not stopped, this is still Qiaolian's absence, if Qiaolian can scold each other for a day when Qiaolian is there, now it will be quiet if she leaves.

Not to mention how Rongguo Mansion celebrated, not to mention that Jia Ke led his men and horses all the way north, and the places he passed were in the wind, and he soon recovered all the lost territory in the north.

But before he had time to rectify the defense of the border pass, he received the news that he was asked to go to Xuanfu Town to receive the order, so he arranged the defense of various places and went south to Xuanfu Town again, and the eunuch who delivered the order had been waiting for many days.

Jia Ke is now just a small official with sesame mung beans, where does he dare to snub Qincha, so he had to take a dozen guards and rush to Xuanfu Town non-stop.

When Jia Ke re-entered Xuanfu Town, he could still see the broken bricks and tiles everywhere. This was when he was sticking to Xuanfu Town, and there were not enough rolling wood and thunder stones, so Wang Tao was forced to demolish the houses and replace the rolling wood and thunder stones with bricks and wood. Up to now, there are still many residents who have no place to live, and now they can only set up a tent on the corner of the street to live, but now the weather is getting colder, if no measures are taken, I am afraid that Xuanfu Town will freeze to death this year.

Jia Ke can't control these victims now, these are the responsibilities of Wang Tao, if Jia Ke oversteps the lord's behalf, I'm afraid that his already very dangerous relationship with Wang Tao will be completely broken. At that time, it was still very easy for Wang Tao to wear small shoes for Jia Ke as a festival envoy.

After entering Xuanfu Town, Jia Ke came to the Jiedu Embassy along the street, but at the gate of the Jiedu Embassy, he was stopped by the soldiers guarding the door.

Jia Ke explained to them: "Jia Ke, who is guarding Kaiping Town, has been ordered to come to Xuanfu Town to receive the order, please go in and report to me." ”

It was the officers and soldiers guarding the door, and they looked up and down a lot of Jia Ke, thinking that this was the little guard who made them frugal and restless. As Wang Tao's personal soldiers, they naturally have no good impression of Jia Ke, but they don't dare to be too neglectful. Therefore, after listening to his words, he just said coldly: "You wait here, I'll go in and give you a reply." After speaking, it was like the Jiedu envoy hurriedly left, leaving Jia Ke alone outside the gate of the Jiedu Envoy's mansion.

Jia Ke waited outside for nearly an hour, and no one came out to deliver a message to him. Jia Ke didn't know where at this time, this was Wang Tao's dismount for himself.

But people have to bow their heads under the eaves, and until now Wang Tao is his direct superior, and he can only endure it secretly even if he is angry. It was Jia Ke who could only wait outside the gate of the Jiedu Embassy in the cold wind.

When Jia Ke was waiting anxiously outside, there was a sedan chair coming to the Jiedu Embassy, followed by more than a dozen little eunuchs wearing brocade clothes, and when they arrived at the gate of the Jiedu Embassy, the officers and soldiers guarding the door hurried over, greeted the people inside, and then seemed to have returned something to him.

The person in the sedan chair said sharply: "Master Jia Kejia hasn't come back yet, when is this going to let our family wait?" ”

As soon as Jia Ke heard the soft voice next to him, he knew that this was the eunuch who delivered the decree, and came to ask if he had come back, it seemed that he had come more than once or twice. Jia Ke hurriedly stepped forward and saluted the people in the sedan chair and said, "Is the father-in-law in the sedan chair who delivers the decree?" ”

When the person in the sedan chair heard him ask, he said very unhappily: "Where did you come from?" So ignorant of the rules. Is there anything you can ask about our family? ”

Seeing that the eunuch in the sedan chair had misunderstood, Jia Ke immediately explained: "My father-in-law misunderstood, I am the Jia Ke you are looking for, and I just came back today." I was waiting for a summons outside the gate of the Jiedu Embassy, and I didn't want my father-in-law to come. That's why I came up and asked. ”

The eunuch listened to Jia Ke say this, and then he paid attention to it. knocked on the sedan chair, and immediately someone opened the sedan curtain for him.

A middle-aged man with a white face and beard walked out of the sedan chair, Jia Ke saw him walk out of the sedan chair, hurried over to salute again, and said respectfully: "I have seen this father-in-law, and the lowly position is Jia Ke, so that the father-in-law has been waiting here for a long time." ”

The eunuch looked Jia Ke up and down, only to see that he was dusty, the white robe on his body had turned gray, and there were some black bloodstains sticking to it, it seemed that he had indeed just arrived in Xuanfu Town.

The eunuch asked sharply: "You actually came to Xuanfu Town, why don't you enter the Jiedu Embassy Mansion?" So that they can inform me, hurry up and finish the work, and our family can go back to life. ”

Jia Ke looked at the eunuch with a respectful face, and when he heard his question, he smiled bitterly and said, "Don't dare to hide from your father-in-law, I have been waiting here for more than an hour." ”

When the eunuch heard Jia Ke say this, he fell silent. These officials are fighting each other, fighting for power and profit everywhere. And Jia Ke offended Wang Tao miserably this time, and with a small garrison, he actually won the dignified festival envoy, and took such a big credit in his arms alone.

Among them, if there is no family to help behind it, he will not believe it. In these battles in the court, it is better for him not to participate in them as a little eunuch, and it is important to hurry up and return to Beijing after announcing the decree. He's tired of staying in the field here.

The eunuch then said to Jia Ke, "Since you have come, come with me." Let's get things done, and we will all save trouble. ”

After speaking, he took a few little eunuchs and walked towards the Jiedu Embassy's Mansion, and Jia Ke hurriedly followed him and entered the Jiedu Envoy's Mansion together.
