Jia Qing hurriedly returned to Ningguo Mansion, and when he arrived at Ning'an Hall, he saw that Dai Quan had come to issue the decree in person, and he knew that it must be a big event.

However, looking at Dai Quan's smile when he saw him, Jia Qing knew that what he had guessed was true, and it didn't make sense that after he had just done an errand for the emperor, the emperor didn't say favor, but wanted to get himself, which didn't make sense.

"It turned out that Mr. Dai was here, and it really made the humble house shine and shine."

Jia Qing would still say this kind of scene. Not to mention that Dai Quan is one of the most powerful internal eunuchs in the palace, with his good relationship with Jiafu, he must also smile.

Dai Quan also smiled and said: "General Jia is polite, gossip later, General Jia will take the order......"

Lai Sheng and the others had already prepared the incense case, so Jia Qing knelt down to accept the order. Dai Quan opened the holy decree and read:

“......

There is now his great-grandson Jia Qing, who inherits the grace of heaven and Zude, and cultivates the heart of loyalty to the country, is smart and changeable, and is young and promising. He was ordered to go to Jiangnan, observe the Sacred Heart, act cautiously, experience and become old, and did not spend a single soldier to eliminate the White Lotus bandits that had plagued Jiangnan for decades, and confiscated millions of properties of the White Lotus Sect, all of which were reported to the national treasury......

There is no mistake in all these things, and I am very relieved.

The imperial court has this young talent, how can I be stingy with a famous man?

Specially entitled: hereditary Ning Guogong first-class Shenwei general.

Chinchi! ”

Jia Qing listened carefully. This is a very formal decree. The front is a praise of the merits of the Great Chu Empire, and the exploits of the ancestor of the Jia family, Ning Rong, are mentioned, and then transferred to Jia Qing......

"General Jia, still don't accept the order?" After Dai Quan finished reading, he saw that Jia Qing still maintained a kneeling posture and reminded.

"Weichen commands, long live my emperor, long live long live......"

Jia Qing took the holy decree with both hands and stood up.

"Congratulations to General Jia......"

The smile on Dai Quan's face was very strong.

Originally, the hereditary title of the founding of the country was honorable, but fortunately, the founding emperor had the foresight and set the rules for descending from generation to generation. In this way, if there is no talent for his descendants, the court does not have to provide too many useless wastes in high positions in vain.

This is also in line with the saying that "the gentleman's ze, the fifth generation and beheaded".

However, after all, after the meritorious service, the imperial court could not be condemned to death because of this, and it could not have a career. The imperial court must also show kindness and righteousness in order to win people's hearts.

Therefore, those who are outstanding after these feats are often more likely to come out. The emperor also took this opportunity to show his kindness to the meritorious officials and their descendants.

However, this kind of favor is mostly extraordinarily gifted to officials, such as Jia Zheng (in fact, Jia Zheng is still more outstanding, hehe), or given important responsibilities, such as King Beijing...... If you want to get into the knighthood, it's also very difficult!

The emperor will also deliberately suppress the matter of entering the lord, after all, once he wantonly opens his grace to enter the lord, he is trampling on the system of surrender! No emperor would be so stupid.

It's just that no matter what, after the meritorious service, it is definitely a hundred times easier to get the same title than ordinary people!

All in all, it is definitely the greatest joy for the noble family, which represents the momentum of returning to the prestige of the ancestors.

"Thank you...... Mr. Dai also invited him to drink tea inside......"

"Don't bother today, I have to go back to the palace to resume my life, next time."

Dai Quan said, ready to beckon Xiao Huangmen to leave.

"Then I'll send it to Mr. Lai." Jia Qing said, stepped forward in parallel with Dai Quan, and then quietly handed over a stack of silver tickets.

This is also a common practice, Dai Quan naturally will not refuse, pinched the thickness of the silver ticket, the smile on Dai Quan's face became stronger, and said: "General Jia stays ......"

......

In the back house of the Xue family, the atmosphere still hasn't melted, although it is not as dull as before, everyone also began to speak, but they all felt a little cautious. At this time, even Wang Xifeng didn't dare to speak loudly, for fear of arousing Jia's mother's disgust.

This situation was not until Jia Lian's arrival.

After Jia Lian almost got off the horse, he ran directly into the back house of the Xue family, forgetting all the rules, and the maids and women on the road knew that there must be a big event, and they didn't dare to stop it a little.

"Ancestor, great joy ......!"

Still far away, Jia Lian couldn't help but start preaching loudly.

Jia Mu and the others left their seats one after another and greeted Jia Lian, who was hurrying along the hand-copying verandah.

Looking at the joy on Jia Lian's face, the gloomy clouds on Jia's mother's face finally dispersed, and she hurriedly asked, "Tell me what happened?" ”

Jia Lian didn't stop until he got closer, and regardless of his panting appearance, he said happily: "Go back to your ancestors, I am very happy...... Second brother, the emperor raised the title of the second brother......"

"Really? Is it really a knighthood? ”

"It's true! Now the second brother is already a first-class Shenwei general. When I came over, the second brother was packing up and going to the palace to thank him, it really couldn't be more real......"

"Good, good, good!"

Jia Mu smiled and said, the smile on her face was the brightest since Yuan Chun became a concubine!

It's really good, this is the first time that the Jia family has changed their posture since Jia Daishan died, and instead went back, which is the fundamental guarantee for the Jia family to continue to be rich.

That's nice......

"Congratulations, old lady." Aunt Xue's face was in a trance, and then she was the first to say hello to Mother Jia.

The others also reacted and said hello to Jia Mu one after another.

"Good ......" Jia Mu smiled, and then slowly sat back on the seat with the support of others.

After everyone sat down, Jia Mu suddenly smiled and said, "Brother Qing also said in the morning that the emperor just let him go home to rest and rest, and it won't be long before he will reward him with the official."

I didn't believe it, I thought he was talking big. Who knows, it's really like this......"

Compared with the promotion from a third-class general to a first-class general, the title of a five-rank Beijing official is really insignificant!

"Brother Qing is such a good child, and he has the ability, the emperor naturally likes it, where is he willing to punish him, it would be good now." Aunt Xue is naturally happy to say good things at this kind of festive time.

Mother Jia looked at Aunt Xue and said: "Today can be regarded as a double happiness, Bao Yatou's birthday, this is a joy, and it happens to meet Brother Qing'er again, it is also a joy, such a good day, we have to eat a few more glasses of wine from Mrs. Auntie, Mrs. Don't think we are." ”

Aunt Xue was slightly stunned, Mother Jia's words seemed to have some meaning. However, Jia Mu didn't say much, so she naturally didn't say much, so she only said: "Where the old lady said, it is the old lady who looks up to me, where do I have a dislike of it."

Come up, girl, and pour wine for the old lady and your aunt. ”

......

"When I went back yesterday, did I have any resentment in my heart?"

In the south study, Jia Qing listened to Emperor Zhengqing's words, and said in his heart: Even if you have grievances, if you ask this, you want me to dare to say it!

"Your Majesty thinks that the minister is too stingy, the official position of the minister was originally rewarded by His Majesty, His Majesty feels that Weichen is not suitable for being an errand, so he can naturally take it back at any time, how dare Weichen have a grudge for this.

Moreover, although Weichen was stupid, he also knew that His Majesty must have other considerations to remove Weichen from office. Wei Chen is young and has no virtue, and he has no foresight, all thanks to His Majesty's care. Therefore, for His Majesty's decision, the minister only needs to resolutely obey it, anyway, I know that His Majesty will never treat the minister badly. ”

Emperor Zhengqing said: "You can say...... As for your official position, you don't have to think about it for the time being, go back and study hard, and I will be of great use in the future. Okay, you go down, don't forget to report to the Zongren Mansion. ”

"Yes, the minister is retiring."
