Eight hundred miles of urgency, the messenger rode a thousand miles of horses day and night, and on the evening of the tenth day of the eighth month, that is, the evening of the next day, this good news was delivered to Emperor Jianning.

"Good, good!"

Looking at the folds in his hand, Emperor Jianning said three good words in a row.

"Shen He is really not old, he lives up to my high expectations, this Shen Qianwei, a hero is a young man, the blue is better than the blue, and he is even more daring than Shen He back then!"

"Congratulations to the emperor, the bandit trouble of Fuhu Village for more than ten years has finally been solved." Wang Lianyi smiled and served tea to Emperor Jianning.

After taking the tea cup, Emperor Jianning's mood calmed down a little.

"This Su Yi said in the excerpt that the reason why this crackdown on bandits was successful, firstly, that this boy from the Shen family took the lead in the charge, and secondly, he was brave and strategic, and sent people to ambush and attack in advance, hijacked the second-in-command of the mountain bandits, and cooperated with them from the rear, for this reason, King Yu's soldiers and horses did not come in handy."

Although after discovering that Zheng Han secretly led the army to attack, King Yu also reacted as soon as possible and immediately sent people up the mountain, but it was a step too slow, and the credit was not very conspicuous.

This is also in line with Emperor Jianning's intentions.

"General Shen and General Shen Xiao, father and son, are extremely brave, this is the emperor's discernment, if you don't choose a good general, how can you win." Wang Lianyi complimented.

When Emperor Jianning heard this, the smile on his face became even bigger.

"Yes, Shen He's father and son have made a great contribution this time, but the bandits in Fuhu Village have been left over from the time of the first emperor, and I have to reward their father and son."

After pondering for a while, he said, "Spread my will, and seal Shen He as the general of the third rank of Zhaoyong, and his son Shen Qianwei will be the captain of the fifth rank of Xiao. ”

Wang Lianyi responded and immediately retreated.

That night, in the Shen Mansion, Yan received a total of two holy decrees for her husband and son.

After learning that it was the victory of the bandits, Yan cried with joy at first.

She doesn't care about the reward of being added to the knighthood, she just needs to know that her husband and son are fine, and she will be at ease.

After sending off the eunuchs from the palace, Yan happily asked his subordinates to clean the house and prepare the two of them to eat.

The housekeeper Lao He smiled and comforted, "Don't worry, madam, the general and the son must have to finish the affairs of Yuzhou before they can come back, there are still five days left in this Mid-Autumn Festival, I'm afraid I won't be able to come back." ”

The crackdown on bandits is not the end of the war, there is still a lot of finishing work to be done, and it takes a lot of time just to count the prisoners and captured booty, as well as to interrogate them.

Hearing this, Yan was a little deflated.

But I thought that although the family couldn't be reunited during the Mid-Autumn Festival, I knew that my husband and son were fine, and it was a success.

Next.

The father and son of the Shen family won a complete victory, and the news of exterminating all the mountain bandits in Fuhu Village in Yuzhou spread all over the capital.

After the reward, Shen He is the third grade, which can be regarded as entering the stream in Bianjing City.

After all, the banquets in the palace, the people who can enter the palace to participate are basically officials of the third grade and above.

And the most important thing is Shen Qianwei's reward, he is already a five-rank cavalry captain at a young age, and he has also made military exploits.

Even though Beidi is a little heavy on literature and light on martial arts, Shen Qianwei is definitely a young hero.

And from the current point of view, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Shen family's kid will definitely not stop here when he will definitely be promoted to the rank of knight in the future.

Therefore, many people began to pay attention to this boy from the Shen family who was born with mud legs that they couldn't look down on before.

Su Mansion, Tibetan Jade Pavilion.

After being woken up by Nan Su, Su Junning listened to Yingmei talk about what happened outside while she was grooming by Jichun.

After learning that the bandits were successful, Su Junning was also immediately in good spirits.

"So, I think Dad will be back soon."

"Yes, Madame and Mademoiselle can finally rest assured." Nan Xu took over the conversation, "Miss, do you know that this time Shen Gongzi has made meritorious service again, and the emperor has promoted him to an official position, and now he is a five-rank Xiao cavalry captain." ”

Hearing this, Su Juning was in a trance in front of her eyes.

At that moment, she seemed to see the appearance of a man in armor fighting in the bandit's den, but she immediately calmed down, and her face showed a little simple appreciation.

"He does have some ability, when I returned to Bianjing at the beginning of the year, I still went from the sixth grade, and now it has only been half a year to the fifth grade, and I think the future is immeasurable."

Yingmei nodded hurriedly and added with admiration.

"Today, I heard the mother-in-law who guarded the door say that General Shen Xiao killed the enemy bravely, and when he was single-handed, he killed more than a dozen bandits in a row, including the three masters of Fuhu Village, and finally captured He Yuhu, the big boss of Fuhu Village."

"Don't exaggerate." Su Junning was a little skeptical.

Yingmei Zhengse, "I won't talk nonsense, that woman said that it was news from the Ministry of War." ”

Seeing the maid's serious face, Su Junning couldn't help but laugh lightly.

"In that case, he has really made a great contribution, and when he comes back, I will invite him to the house for a meal according to my mother's words, and I don't have to go outside."

It's just that I don't know if Shen Qianwei is injured or not, so it will be inconvenient for him to come at that time.

The latter sentence came out of Su Junning's heart involuntarily, and he didn't say it, but even if he just thought about it for a while, after reacting, Su Juning also felt funny.

When did she also care about Shen Qianwei.

Shaking his head, he got rid of the clutter and didn't mention it again.

Because of the great victory of Yuzhou's suppression of bandits, Emperor Jianning was very interested and decided to hold a Mid-Autumn Palace banquet.

The royal family and officials of the third rank and above in the DPRK and the central government and their families all came to participate.

Needless to say, the Su family is naturally among the invitees, and the head of the Shen family, Shen He has become a third-grade general, and the Yan family is also on the list, but this matter is quite difficult for her.

After all, no matter how powerful the Yan family is, he is only a merchant, although he came to Bianjing with his husband and became the general's wife, but to be honest, he has not seen many big scenes, especially when he entered the palace, which was not once.

She is usually outside the palace, and the rules and etiquette are a little worse, but it is different when she enters the palace, she has to be cautious everywhere, and Shen He and Shen Qianwei have not returned, and the Yan family has to enter the palace alone, which makes it even more nervous.

I didn't have any network resources for a while, so I thought of Cui's.

sent someone to Su Mansion, and wanted to ask the Cui family to help her find a teaching grandmother, and rushed into the palace two days before the banquet to practice the rules and etiquette.

Grinding guns in battle, if it's not fast, it's light.

This is not a difficult matter, and Mother Luo by Cui's side is very suitable, so Cui's mother sent Mother Luo to Shen Mansion to teach Yan.

After Su Junning heard about it, she also joked, but she didn't expect her mother and Mrs. Shen to get along very well.

After all, in the eyes of outsiders, a woman from a businessman and a lady from a scholarly family really don't look like someone who can get involved.

But after all, Su Juning himself also likes Yan's personality, enthusiastic, sincere and interesting.

So I also mentioned it and asked the Cui family if you would like to take the Yan family with you when you enter the palace, so that you can help one or two more.

Cui Shi thought this proposal was good, so he also asked Luo's mother to bring a message to Yan's.

Someone walked together, and Yan was naturally very happy.

Therefore, on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival palace banquet, the two families met at the palace gate first.
