Half a month later, the Ministry of War issued two official documents.
The first official document allowed the border army to build a new military camp. The Ministry of Household Affairs also allocated 500,000 taels of silver.
The second official document was about the promotion and transfer of generals in the border army. General Zhao was transferred to the forward camp, and Shen Jia took over the position of General Zhao and was promoted to the post of general.
When the news reached the Shen Mansion, everyone in the Shen family was overjoyed.
Shen Mo couldn't help but envy Shen Jia's official career: "Now that my third brother has gone to the frontier army, he has gained a lot of experience and has been promoted to the rank of fourth-rank general."
Da Feng was so happy that he couldn't help but smile: "I never thought that Sanlang would have such luck."
Among the three sons, the eldest son has been away from home for several years, and the second son has been working as an errand in the palace. Shen Jia has the most lively and out-of-the-box temperament. He originally thought that it would be good to live a stable life. Who would have thought that Shen Jia would become the most promising one? that one.
Shen Mao could no longer hold himself back and quickly went to the ancestral hall to offer incense to his ancestors. By the way, he also offered a stick to his brother Shen Rong.
"God bless us, our ancestors will appear, Sanlang and Shilang will make great achievements in the frontier army and shine on the lintel of the Shen family."
"Brother, with such a good son, you can feel at ease even if you are under great pressure."
Shen Mao thought silently in his heart and stayed in the ancestral hall for a long time before coming out.
Da Feng was waiting outside the ancestral hall, with a glowing look on her face: "Master, for such a happy event, we have to hold a banquet to invite relatives and friends to celebrate."
The Shen family held banquets before, all for Shen You. This time, it was finally Shen Jia's turn. Mrs. Feng felt like she was elated and proud.
Shen Mao also smiled: "That's fine."
The couple worked together and quickly wrote the invitation and asked the stewards to send it out. Mrs. Feng was so happy and excited that she didn't care about choosing a good day and held a banquet directly the next day.
Those who accepted the invitation came to the door one after another.
Needless to say, Mrs. Lei was the first to arrive.
When a pair of in-laws meet, you praise your son and I praise my son-in-law.
Mrs. Lei also felt that she had good taste. The reason why she chose Shen Jia that day was because the Shen family had an upright family style and the mother-in-law of Da Feng was kind and kind. Now it seems that this marriage was indeed a good choice. Her daughter married into the Shen family and lived a good life. De Shuxin, Shen Jia loves his children and his wife, and now he has become a fourth-grade military general. He can be called a young and promising man.
Such a good son-in-law is hard to find even with a lantern!
Mrs. Lei was beaming with joy, but the female family members of the Feng family were in very complicated moods.
Even Mrs. Zhou couldn't help but feel sore in her heart.
A few years ago, the Shen family was just a family of a thousand families, which was far behind the Feng family. Who would have thought that the Shen family would flourish and become one of the most popular generals in the capital?
Yao was even more regretful. Why was she so blind that she mistakenly mistook the pearl for a fish-eye pearl? If she had just let Feng Shaozhu marry Shen Jia, what would happen to the Lei family now?
Looking at Da Feng's radiant and proud appearance, the Zhou family and Yao family were both very upset. The two sisters-in-law had always looked down upon this meek and useless sister-in-law. But now they have fallen all the way. He gave birth to three sons and raised his nephews as his own sons. All of them were promising.
Looking at them again, their daughters are well married, but their sons are not good enough. Feng Wenyan has been studying for many years, and finally became a scholar last year. Not to mention Feng Wenhao, who was expelled from the Imperial College and went out to drink wine all day long... …
Forget it, just don’t mention it.
After the banquet, Zhou family and Yao family endured their heartache, forced out a smile, and said goodbye to the great Feng family.
After returning home, each of them had to scold his own son, which caused such a fuss that I won't go into details one by one.
…
When the official document arrived at the border town, there was also a lot of excitement.
With the approval of the imperial court and the money allocated, Shen You immediately wanted to start building a military camp.
General Meng smiled and gave some advice: "Winter has entered, and it is freezing cold. At this time, the symptoms are quite inconvenient for the people. It is not too late to wait until the New Year, when the weather is warmer, to start. Now we can build the military camp first The required materials such as wood, bricks and tiles must be prepared first.”
Shen You was able to comfort him: "General Meng is right. I was too impatient before and didn't take this into consideration."
General Meng smiled and said: "General Shen is so young and has a little lack of thinking, but it doesn't matter."
In General Meng's view, Shen You was unparalleled on the battlefield and was a natural general. However, he was indeed too young. In the more than 100 years since the founding of the Qi Dynasty, there had never been a mighty general who was twenty-two years old.
It can also be seen from this that the emperor's preference for Shen You was high. If it had been anyone else, and the last two memorials had been given in succession, do you think the official documents and money transfers from the imperial court would have been so quick and timely!
Shen Jia was promoted to the rank of General Shen. His wish was fulfilled and he was overjoyed. Naturally, he had to have a good time.
There are strict rules in the military camp, and no gatherings are allowed for drinking.
After finally waiting until the end of the month, Shen Jia waved his hand boldly and set up ten tables in the most famous restaurant in the border town. In addition to the fifty emperor's personal guards who came with the border army, there were more than twenty people from the border army. The generals came to the banquet.
That's right, Shen Jia made many friends not long after arriving in the border army. This is also Shen Jia's unique ability and ability. No matter where he goes, his popularity is first-class.
Shen You was also happy for Shen Jia and called the shopkeeper over: "Bring the best wine in the restaurant. I will pay for all the money for today's drink."
What does this say?
Shen Jia grinned and said: "There is also a banquet!"
Shen You: "..."
Shen You didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he could only nodded.
On this day, Shen Jia was naturally drunk.
Shen You still didn't like to talk, but he didn't always have a cold face like before. He was much more easy-going than when he was in the capital. Everyone came to propose a toast with courage, and Shen You accepted everyone who came, and he drank very happily.
Many military men in the army have direct and cheerful temperaments. Shen You's behavior won the hearts of the people. The more than 20 border army generals immediately came over to propose a toast, and quickly shortened the distance between them.
This meal lasted until the afternoon.
After the banquet was over, the soldiers who had been waiting outside the restaurant for half a day hurriedly came forward and helped their staggering master into the carriage.
Shen Jia insisted on riding in the same carriage as Shen You.
Just take a seat! Anyway, we live next door, so it’s very convenient to go home in the same car.
"Fourth brother," Shen Jia put his arms around Shen You's shoulders and burped twice before opening his mouth. He smelled of alcohol and spoke like beads in his mouth, which was neither smooth nor clear: "I'm so happy today. "
Shen You was drunk and laughed: "Third brother, I'm happy for you too. Since our brothers have joined the border army, we have to make some achievements. It will not be difficult to be promoted to a higher rank in the future. It's just a fourth grade Being a general is nothing. In three years, five years, ten years, or eight years, you will also be a general."
In response to these heroic words, there was a loud purr.
Shen You turned around to look and couldn't help but laugh.
Shen Jia had already fallen asleep leaning against Shen You.
