said that on this day, Jia Zheng was in the study with the Qing guests, arguing about an ancient painting he had just gotten. Suddenly, a small guy broke in, and Jia Zheng was furious when he saw it: "That slave who doesn't understand the rules dares to break into my study, wait for me to be idle for a while to see how to clean you up." ”

Seeing this, the little guy quickly knelt down and said to Jia Zheng: "The master is not a slave who doesn't understand the rules. But a eunuch from outside came with a message. Let the master open the middle door so that he can receive the holy decree. ”

Jia Zheng was taken aback when he heard this, and he didn't know if it was a blessing or a curse. Their family has basically been insulated from the royal family in the past few years, and he is only a five-rank petty official. But suddenly the decree came, and he panicked for a while.

But no matter what, the will will still be accepted. So Jia Zheng hurriedly ordered the people to open the middle door of Rongguo's mansion, put on his court clothes, ordered someone to prepare an incense case in Rongxi Hall, and at the same time ordered someone to go to the back to tell Jia's mother.

Jia's mother was playing with Jia Baoyu at this time, and suddenly heard that Jia Zheng sent someone to report something to her. She didn't take it to heart, so she called someone in, and when she saw Jia's mother, she knelt down and saluted her, and Jia's mother asked casually, "What's the matter?" ”

The man hurriedly said, "A eunuch came to our house to deliver an edict, and the master asked me to tell the old lady." He was ready to receive the order. ”

Jia's mother was also panicked when she heard this, to say that when Jia Daishan was there, she didn't follow Jia Daishan to receive orders once or twice. But since Jia Daishan's death, Rongguo Mansion has not seen a holy decree. I don't know what it is today. Immediately ordered someone to hurry to the front to listen to the news, and come back as soon as there is a situation.

Besides, Jia Zheng in front of him, put on his official uniform, and when he came to the gate of Rongguo Mansion, he saw a eunuch riding on a tall horse, holding a yellow scroll in his hand. Jia Zheng hurriedly stepped forward to salute the eunuch.

When the eunuch saw that Jia Zheng did not neglect him too much, he immediately dismounted and came to him and said, "Jia Gong does not need to be polite. Maybe we'll have to talk to each other more in the future. ”

Jia Zheng didn't dare to treat his politeness as really intimate, he took out a few silver tickets and secretly stuffed them into the sleeves of this eunuch, this eunuch is also a clever one. As soon as he received the silver ticket, he knew Jia Zheng's purpose, and said with a smile on his face: "Don't worry, my lord, there is a great joy coming to Rongguo Mansion." After a while, you will know. ”

When Jia Zheng heard that it was a happy event, he put his heart in his stomach and was no longer as worried as he was just now.

Jia Zheng welcomed the eunuch into the Rongxi Hall, at this time the hall had prepared the incense case, the eunuch saw that Jia Zheng was still doing things well, and accepted his silver ticket, and no longer embarrassed him, directly came to the incense case, held up the holy decree, and shouted to the below: "The holy decree is here, Jia Zheng receives the decree." ”

When Jia Zheng heard this, he hurriedly knelt on the ground. And the servants all around were prostrate on the ground.

The eunuch unfolded the decree and read aloud in his shrill voice: "Fengtian carries the emperor, and the edict says: Jia Ke has broken the Tatars, made outstanding contributions, and is very relieved, and is now promoted to command, supervising Xuanhua, Kaiping two towns, and specially adding the title of the third rank of Zhaoyong General Yongjue." Chin this. ”

After the eunuch finished reading, he turned the incense case and came to Jia Zheng, and said to Jia Zheng: "Jia Gong will take the order." ”

Jia Zheng was already dazed by the holy decree just now, but he didn't expect that the eldest brother of their family had only been at the border for a year and a half. has been an official to the third rank, and now has a hereditary title. Although it is only a third-grade general, this is also amazing. is already of the same level as Jia Zhen in Dongfu.

Jia Zhengting came to his senses when he heard the eunuch ask him to accept the order in a daze. He raised both of them high and said, "Minister, Jia Zheng takes the order." ”

Hearing Jia Zheng's words, the eunuch put the holy decree in his hands.

Jia Zheng took the holy decree with both hands and trembled to get up, but because he was too excited, he didn't get up several times, and the little guy next to him hurriedly came over to help him up.

After Jia Zheng got up, he once again took out a few silver tickets from his arms and stuffed them into the sleeves of the eunuchs. With a smile on his face, he said to him: "My father-in-law came to our Rongguo Mansion this time, and he has to stay for a while longer." I'll let you prepare some food and drinks, and let's have a few drinks. ”

The eunuch got the money, and it was not easy to shirk too much, so he agreed, and soon a table of sumptuous wine and food was set up in the Rongxi Hall.

Jia Zheng invited the eunuch to sit in the first place, and he accompanied him, and then kept persuading the wine and cloth dishes, and the wine was over three rounds of dishes and five flavors, Jia Zheng asked: "I don't know the name of the father-in-law, this time they met, and they will come and go often in the future." ”

The eunuch replied to him, "You can call me Gao Quan, I am walking in the Qianqing Palace." ”

Jia Zheng listened to his words, so he toasted him again, and then asked: "The holy decree only says that our eldest brother broke the Tatars, and I ask my father-in-law to give us some guidance on the specific situation." ”

Gao Tai listened that he just wanted to know the specific situation, so he didn't pay too much attention to it, and said to him while eating and drinking: "This General Jia of your family is really too heroic, a few days ago, 120,000 Tatars besieged Xuanfu Town, and he dared to go to reinforcements with 10,000 or 20,000 people, not to mention that he still has some ability, and killed more than a dozen enemy generals in just one while. Then he fought a decisive battle with the Tatars, and beat the Tatars so that they did not dare to leave the camp, and finally there was no water in the camp. Even the infighting that occurred because of the water grabbing was broken by your general Jia in one fell swoop, and then the Tatars were driven back to the steppe. ”

After Eunuch Gao finished speaking, he picked up the wine glass and drank another glass of wine, moistened his throat, and thought that since he had received so much silver, he would be a good man to the end, and tell him about it, so he continued to say to him: "This time it is really dangerous, your General Jia's excerpt and Jiedu make Wang Tao's excerpt come to the front and back." Wang Tao took all the credit on himself, and there was nothing to do with your general. Fortunately, the emperor was wise and saw the flaws. Let Dai Quan and Dai's father-in-law check the internal files in the palace, and then make an order to canonize your son-in-law. ”

Jia Zheng couldn't help but feel angry when he heard what he said. Last time, he was very annoyed because of this Wang Tao who didn't save him, if it wasn't for the prince Teng to intercede, he would have let people participate in him a long time ago, and now there is such a incident, these people have to take their Jia family in their eyes.

After the banquet, Jia Zheng personally sent the eunuch Gao out of the gate because he had eaten wine. was afraid that he would not be safe on the horse, so he asked him to send him to the palace gate with his official sedan chair.

Jia Zheng sent Eunuch Gao away and immediately went to the inner house, like Jia's mother.

At this time, Jia's mother had already heard the news from the people in front of her, and knew that it was her eldest brother who had made meritorious service at the border gate, and the emperor decreed that he could canonize a third-grade title.

When Mother Jia heard the news, she couldn't help but feel proud for a while, and the maid and the old lady in front of Mother Jia came to congratulate Mother Jia together, and kept saying congratulations to Mother Jia.

"Congratulations to the old lady, another grandson has won the title of general, and he may be able to be a marquis in the future."

"Old lady, the three grandsons are all blessed, the eldest brother is now a general from the military, the second brother will definitely be able to be admitted to the champion in the future, and Xiao Baoyu is born blessed and will definitely be able to get ahead."

Mother Jia listened to their compliments, and her face bloomed with a smile, it seems that this eldest brother is really extraordinary, and he has great luck. Thinking about the future of the eldest brother, Jia Mu thought disdainfully that this is where it is, and there will be times when you are surprised in the future.
