People feel refreshed when happy events happen, and their eyebrows are bent with anticipation and joy.
She smiled brightly: "From today on, we are General Xuanwu's Mansion."
"This is a great event for the family. Therefore, I announce that everyone in the family will receive an extra month's salary in May. I hope that in the days to come, everyone can regard the General's Mansion as their home and continue to do their best to do their best.
share……"
"Thank you, madam!"
The few servants in the living room immediately beamed with joy and kept saying congratulations.
After getting permission, they ran out excitedly to share the news with others.
Not long after, cheers and cheers came from outside.
Ren Ning smiled faintly.
He doesn't need to worry about these trivial matters.
It's natural to feel happy when you get promoted.
It's just that there wasn't much entertainment in ancient times, and they were all professional soldiers with strict rules and never missed the land of fireworks. Therefore, the most they could do was prepare delicious food at home with their relatives and friends.
Yingpan quickly took Ji Xiang and Miao Dong to make preparations.
A few people were chatting when Xiao Gang ran in excitedly with his mouth wide open.
"General Ren," he pointed to his feet with a wink, "should this general's mansion have a disciple?"
It has been upgraded to an official general's residence, and more and more guests will come in and out in the future.
Although the threshold for entering a fifth-grade military general's residence is not high, there is a real threshold after all, and ordinary people cannot come in and out at will.
Therefore, it is really necessary to have some doormen at the main door and the side door, otherwise it will not be a problem for the guests who come to the door to stand outside the main door all the time.
"Indeed!" Lei Er and Li Hebai nodded in agreement, "In addition to the disciples, it is best to have a few more guards."
"By the way, it's best to have a groom."
This general's mansion is really quite empty and quiet, and it's almost useless to ask for anything.
Miao Xia held a sword and stood up with a cheerful face, "Brother, how about I become this disciple?"
Ren Ning smiled and shook his head without hesitation.
"You just practice martial arts and literacy, and you will have to support your sister Ge Miaodong in the future. As for the trivial matters of guarding the disciples, you don't have to worry about it. Big brother has his own sense of proportion."
Lei Er and others looked over thoughtfully.
Ren Ning knew what they were thinking and nodded.
"Before the prisoner returned to the imperial capital, General Wei was sure that I would be promoted to the fifth rank or above this time and have the qualifications to open a mansion. He mentioned this matter a little bit."
"I agreed." Ren Ning said: "If the injured veterans in the army are willing, they can come to the house as guards. I will provide for them in their old age."
This practice has almost become the tradition of all major armies in Yunchui.
It can not only solve the biggest worries of disabled veterans, but also inspire new members of the legion to fight bravely on the battlefield.
Xiao Gang found a chair and sat down, "I need a veteran, I'm afraid it won't be easy to find one."
Xingluo's veteran abilities are naturally unquestionable.
It's just that Ren Ning's family is all in the imperial capital, and almost all the Xingluo people who were injured and retired have returned to their hometowns. It's probably not easy for them to come all the way from their hometowns.
"Someone will come over." Li Hebai had a lot of experience.
Their Guerrilla General's Mansion is located in the remote Nanshu City, where the climate is usually hot and there are many mosquitoes and ferocious beasts. However, if Li Hezhu had not been able to spend too much money, it is estimated that the number of veterans in the manor would have continued to increase.
After talking about the guards, everyone stared curiously at Xiao Gang, who was sitting or lying down.
"Is everything okay at home?"
"What can happen?" Xiao Gang asked everyone, threw a peanut into his mouth, and chewed it lazily.
Origin in feudal society was very important. After all, Xiao Gang was the second son of Zhongyongbo Mansion, although his military achievements during the campaign in Nanfeng were far less than Lei Er.
But the military ranks of the two of them were almost the same at this time, even Xiao Gang's was higher.
Just now, the promotion order from the Ministry of War was delivered to Uncle Zhongyong's mansion. His wife, Liu Wan, was naturally overjoyed. But the prince, Xiao Rui, was not so happy.
If he hadn't been so weak, he might have jumped up and crashed through the roof of his house. But in the end, he had no choice but to send his servant to his maternal ancestor Yongchang Hou's mansion for help.
Xiao Gang went to the battlefield one after another these days, and his hands were stained with an unknown amount of blood. Even when he glared at people, his eyes seemed to have spearheads and murderous intent.
Xiao Rui is not stupid.
If he dares to provoke him at this time, Xiao Gang, his younger brother, probably won't swallow his anger like before.
"Is Brother Ren at home?"
At this time, another energetic voice came from outside.
Several people in the main hall had strange faces.
They heard clearly that it was Huo Qing, the prince of Zhenguo, who was shouting outside the door.
Ren Ning shook his head dumbly.
It seems that the gate should indeed be equipped with two gatekeepers as soon as possible.
It’s just that the food has to be eaten one bite at a time, the family has to be supported step by step, and nothing can be rushed.
Several people welcomed him out together.
Ren Ning smiled and said: "My lord, you are not an outsider. When you get to the door, just come in by yourself."
"That's right!" Xiao Gang, who was most familiar with Huo Qing, said with a smile: "I came here first just now, and Bai Yu entered the courtyard by the familiar route, without any need for me to shout."
He looked left and right, but he didn't see his horse.
"I guess I'm playing with Zhui Feng and Ben Lei right now."
Huo Qing smiled and did not defend himself. He held up his hands and said congratulations: "Congratulations to my brothers on their promotion. Please take more care of me in the future."
The boy behind him quickly delivered gifts one by one.
"Are you kidding? Who is taking care of whom?" Except for Li Hebai, Ren Ning and the others were dumbfounded.
The group of people returned to the main hall, where Yingpan was already waiting for them.
"Everyone is here?" She smiled and said, "Don't be in a daze here. Let's go to the restaurant to eat and chat."
"Sister-in-law," Lei Er was speechless, subconsciously looking at the hourglass not far away, "are you ready to prepare the meal so quickly?"
Ren Ning shook his head and explained: "There are not many servants in the house, so what can we cook in this little time? It should be hot pot."
Several people were stunned.
Just as he was about to lift his feet, there was another voice outside.
This time there was no need for Ren Ning and others to go out to greet him in person.
Miao Xia always came to the machine to record. After he finished his martial arts practice, he looked around and saw nothing happened, so he simply ran to the gate and came as a temporary guest.
However, when they saw the people Miao Xia brought in, Ren Ning and others were stunned.
It was actually Sun Ye.
Their eyes slid down subconsciously, and finally stopped on Sun Ye's hand.
The expressions on several people's faces gradually became strange.
Sun Ye held an exquisite gold-painted fan in his hand.
Although they had just returned from southern Xinjiang not long ago, they had also heard some interesting stories about their old friends.
For example, in last year's competition, Sun Ye, known as the Sun Three Sword Gods, was knocked down by a soldier with a flat head who was sending his soul back to his hometown. He even knocked out a few of his front teeth.
From then on, Mr. Sun gave up martial arts and became a literary scholar. He no longer wore a sword but instead wore a Confucian fan that he never left behind...
When they first heard this story, Ren Ning and others couldn't help but curl their lips.
It really sounds better when spoken than when sung.
Anyone with a discerning eye would know that the reason why Sun Ye took the fan was not to show off his scholarly demeanor, but to cover his mouth where his front teeth had been knocked out.
"What are you doing here?" Xiao Gang greeted him coldly.
He has not forgotten Sun Ye's cynicism towards Zhongyong Bofu and the interception and execution of the three of them in Hanoi County.
If he hadn't remembered that Ren Ning was the owner of this mansion, Xiao Gang would have been ready to evict him directly.
