Chapter 163: Promotion and Fortune

The carriage rolled slowly and drove towards the Dong family's small house.

Qi sat in the courtyard, where many tables, chairs and benches had been placed to look like a school, and at this time there were also a few little girls learning calligraphy in the sand pool in the courtyard.

They are all about five or six years old, one or two are slightly older, and some are seven or eight years old, and their foundations are different, but most of them are very weak and can only learn from the most basic.

Most of these girls are children of poor families, they can't afford to read or go to school, and even these seven or eight years old have become the main force in the family.

Taking care of younger siblings, mowing grass and feeding pigs, rushing to the market to sell goods, there are very few people who can sit here and study quietly.

This is hard, Xing'er has never told Zhao Yunsheng.

Seeing that someone had come to the courtyard, the girls looked up one after another, all with curiosity and concern.

Apricot said.

"This is our Dean Zhao, who paid for the school."

"Xing'er, it's all your credit, you don't have to push me to the front."

Zhao Yunsheng said that compared to the silver, the most difficult thing to do is that the apricots are running.

Apricot smiled softly.

"If it weren't for your money and ideas, how would I have the opportunity to stand here and teach these students? Your credit is the greatest. ”

The girls seemed to understand, and stood up one after another, stood in a row, and said respectfully to Zhao Yunsheng.

"Dean Zhao."

Facing that pair of immature pupils, Zhao Yunsheng was a little embarrassed, waved his hand, and said.

"Study hard, you must cherish this hard-won opportunity, maybe you don't understand it now, but in the future, as long as you put in the effort, you will not regret it in the future."

The girls nodded as if they didn't understand, and Zhao Yunsheng didn't say anything to them anymore, the opportunity was given to them, and it was up to them how to cherish it.

Moreover, reading can only help them understand the world reasonably, but cannot completely change the trajectory of a person's life.

She walked quickly to Qi's side.

"Auntie, are your eyes better?"

"It's much better, and I'm taking the medicine."

Qi said, in fact, for so long, there has not been much good, and she herself has lost much hope.

Zhao Yunsheng knew that Qi was perfunctory to himself, and said.

"I've been a bit busy lately and haven't been able to come back to see you every day, so don't be mad at me."

"You stupid boy, can I still blame you?"

Qi said with a smile, grabbed Zhao Yunsheng's hand, and stuffed a thick letter into Zhao Yunsheng's hand.

"Your father, there's a letter, read it to me."

"Okay."

When I opened the letterhead, there were three pages, and I could see that this letterhead was not written in one breath, but was written intermittently for a long time, and he roughly explained what he had done recently.

"My father went to Baihu Pass with the army, and 20 days ago he went out with the army, entered the border of Yan State, and killed the enemy."

Throughout the article, most of them talked about some things about his army, made a lot of contributions, large and small, and asked someone to bring back all the silver he had been rewarded.

"Father also said that he has made a great achievement, and the general has promoted him to the rank of captain of the cavalry, and then all the rewards will come, and my mother and father must have made a great achievement!"

Zhao Yunsheng said excitedly.

is really excited, in just half a year, Guo Peng has been promoted from a centurion with the army to a captain, how powerful is this!

It's a pity that he was born at the wrong time, if he was at the peak of the Dong family, this person would definitely be able to get one step closer.

Wait...

For example, today's soldiers and horses are all in the hands of Wei Jinyan, although they are far away at the border, then Guo Peng can rise so fast, in addition to his own outstanding ability, can there be Wei Jinyan's handwriting?

In any case, the five-rank officials, at least to seal the mansion, all gifts will follow.

After reading the letterhead, Zhao Yunsheng's mood couldn't calm down for a long time.

Although it can't match Zhao Xiangfu's mansion, but...

Realizing his thoughts, Zhao Yunsheng couldn't help but secretly blame himself for being dirty!

Guo Peng and his wife treat her sincerely, how can she think of using it!

But at least I don't have to go back to the filthy place of Zhao Mansion, and when I think about it, I feel relieved again.

"When will your father return?"

Zhao Yunsheng was stunned for a moment, until he was awakened by Qi's words, folded the letterhead, shook his head slightly, and said.

"The letter hasn't mentioned it yet, but at least it proves that my father is safe now, Ah Niang, you have to actively cooperate with my treatment, don't you want to see your father again when he comes back?"

Thinking about it this way, the Qi family has indeed not seen Guo Peng's appearance for many years, and the person in his memory is still stuck in his youth, tall, stout, five big and three thick men.

The frightened man blushed and did not dare to take another look.

There were some cloudy tears flowing from the corners of Qi's eyes.

Zhao Yunsheng wiped it for her with a handkerchief and said.

"I concocted some soaked medicine for Ah Niang, and I also boiled it in hot water every night for Sister Lao Xing'er, and after it was cool, I soaked it in a soft towel and covered Ah Niang's eyes."

If she can't come back in time for the evening, she will ask Xing'er to do it for her.

While he was talking, a group of officers and soldiers came outside, led by a man on high horseback, and came with a wrestling order, and the neighbors gathered around.

It's just that Zhao Yunsheng is in a trance.

In the past, the last time the Dong family received the will, it was that the senior officials of the inner chamberlain came with the will of the saint, and beheaded all the people of the Dong family and killed them on the spot...

You don't even have to go to jail.

What a sin against heaven it must be, and it should have fallen like this.

"Sheng'er, get down on your knees."

Qi pulled Zhao Yunsheng and pulled her to kneel down.

Captain Fang Zhongtang dismounted with the order and stood on rice paper in front of the Dong family's small courtyard.

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor edict said, Guo Peng went out with the army, repeatedly made military exploits, was promoted to the captain of the cavalry, gave a mansion, thousands of acres of fertile land, and a thousand taels of gold and silver..."

Fang Zhongtang read out the will, which was no different from what was said in the letter, and the people who followed behind him held all kinds of rewards in their hands, all of which were given by His Majesty himself.

"Mrs. Guo, quickly receive the order and thank you."

It was the first time for the Qi clan to see this battle, and they hurriedly kowtowed and thanked him.

Fang Zhongtang put the holy decree together and gave it to Guo Peng with both hands.

It stands to reason that Fang Zhongtang's official position is higher than Guo Peng's, and he is a close confidant of Wei Jinyan, so he doesn't have to be so polite, but...

That is the future Marquis of Zhengyuan, and there are not many opportunities for this stammer.

He immediately said with a smile.

"Mrs. Guo, you don't have to worry about everything else, General Guo's mansion has been cleaned up, and the servants and servants have been arranged, you just need to bring some personal things and go directly, and the carriage is also prepared for you."

As he spoke, he also grinned at Zhao Yunsheng intentionally to flatter.

It's just that he doesn't know what he looks like, and he is a little majestic if he doesn't smile, and when he laughs, he makes those girls hug in fright, like little chicks, shivering.

Zhao Yunsheng touched his nose, a little stunned.

Sure enough, Wei Jinyan's movements were really fast.
