Chapter 539 Promotion
Half a month later, the Ministry of War issued two official documents.

The first official document allowed the frontier army to build a new barracks.The household department also allocated 50 taels of silver.

The second official document is the promotion and transfer of generals in the frontier army.General Zhao was transferred to the Qianfeng Battalion, and Shen Jia took over the position of general Zhao and was promoted to the post of general.

When the news reached the Shen residence, the entire Shen family was overjoyed.

Shen Mo couldn't help being envious of Shen Jia's official fortune: "Third brother went to the frontier army this time, not to mention the fact that he was promoted to a fourth-rank general."

Da Feng couldn't help but smile from ear to ear: "I really never thought that Saburo would have such luck."

Among the three sons, the eldest son has served as a foreigner for several years, while the second son has been working in the palace.Shen Jia's temperament is the most lively and out-of-the-ordinary, and she 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.

Shen Mao couldn't hold back anymore, and hurried to the ancestral hall to offer incense to the ancestors.By the way, I also offered a stick to my elder brother Shen Rong.

"God bless, the ancestors showed their spirits, Sanlang and Shiro made great achievements in the frontier army, and brought glory to the lintel of Shen's family."

"Brother, with such a good son, you can feel at ease even under the Nine Springs."

Shen Mao muttered in his heart, and stayed in the ancestral hall for a long time before coming out.

Da Feng waited outside the ancestral hall, his expression glowing, and his face was full of radiance: "My lord, for such a happy event, we must hold a banquet to invite relatives and friends to celebrate one or two."

Before the Shen family hosted a banquet, it was all for Shen You.This time, it was finally Shen Jia's turn.Da Feng felt quite proud and proud.

Shen Mao also smiled: "Alright."

The husband and wife thought about it, and quickly wrote an invitation card, which was sent out by the stewards.Da Feng was so happy and excited that he didn't care about picking a good day, so he directly held a banquet on the next day.

Those who accepted the invitation came to the door one after another.

Needless to say, Mrs. Lei came first.

When a pair of in-laws meet, you praise your son, and I praise your son-in-law.

Mrs. Lei also felt that she had good eyesight.Shen Jia was selected that day because the Shen family's family style is upright, Da Feng's mother-in-law is kind and kind.Now it seems that this marriage was really well chosen.Her daughter married into Shen's residence and lived a comfortable life. Shen Jia loved her children and daughter-in-law, and now she has become a fourth-rank military general, so she can be called young and promising.

Such a good son-in-law is hard to find with a lantern!

Mrs. Lei was full of joy, and the female family members of the Feng family were in complicated moods.

Even Zhou couldn't help feeling pantothenic in his heart.

A few years ago, the Shen family was just a thousand-family family, which was far behind the Feng family.Who would have thought that the Shen family was thriving day by day, and had already become a hot general in the capital?

Yao shi was even more remorseful.Back then, why was she blind and mistook the bright pearl for a fish-eye pearl?If she let go and let Feng Shaozhu marry Shen Jia, where would there be any business with Lei's family now?

Looking at Da Feng's radiant and proud appearance, Zhou's and Yao's hearts were very resentful.They are two sisters-in-law, and they have always looked down on this gentle and wimpy elder sister-in-law.Now he lowered his head.The Dafeng family gave birth to three sons, and raised their nephews as if they were their own sons. All of them are promising.

Looking at them again, the daughter is not badly married, but the son is not good enough.Feng Wenyan studied for many years, and finally won a scholar last year.Not to mention Feng Wenhao, who was expelled from the Imperial College and went out to drink flower wine all day long...

Forget it, don't mention it.

After the banquet, Mrs. Zhou and Mrs. Yao held back her heart, forced out a smile, and said goodbye to Mrs. Feng.

After returning to the mansion, they had to scold their sons for a meal, and the turmoil was uproarious, so I won't go into details one by one.

……

When Gongwen arrived in the border town, there was a lot of excitement.

With the court's approval and the money allocated, Shen You immediately thought about building a military camp.

General Meng persuaded with a smile: "It's winter, and it's freezing cold. It's quite inconvenient to warn the civilians at this time. It's better to wait until the new year, when the weather is warmer, and it's not too late to start. Now you can build the barracks first." The materials needed, such as wood, bricks and tiles, are ready first."

Shen You listened and comforted him: "What General Meng said is true. I was too impatient before and didn't consider these things."

General Meng said with a smile: "General Shen is so young, and his thinking is a little lacking, so it's nothing."

From General Meng's point of view, Shen You is unparalleled on the battlefield and is a natural general.However, it is indeed too young.Da Qi has been in power for more than a hundred years, and there has never been a 22-year-old mighty general.

It can also be seen from this that the emperor attaches great importance to Shen You.If it was someone else, with the last two memorials in succession, do you see if the imperial court will issue official documents and transfer money so quickly and timely!
Shen Jia was promoted to be a Shen Admiral, and her wish was fulfilled, she was overjoyed, and naturally had to have a good time.

There are strict rules in the barracks, and drinking is not allowed.

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 to the frontier army together, there were more than twenty military generals from the frontier army who came to the banquet.

That's right, not long after Shen Jia arrived in the frontier army, she made many friends.This is Shen Jia's unique skill and ability.No matter where you go, popularity is always 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 today's drinks."

What does this say.

Shen Jia grinned and said, "There's still a banquet!"

Shen You: "..."

Shen You didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he nodded.

On this day, Shen Jia got drunk as a matter of course.

Shen You still doesn't like to talk, but he doesn't always have a cold face like before, and he is much more easy-going than when he was in the capital.Everyone bravely came to toast, Shen You did not refuse anyone who came, and drank very heartily.

Soldiers in the army are more direct and straightforward.Shen You's behavior won the hearts of the people.The more than 20 generals of the frontier army immediately came to toast one after another, and quickly drew closer to each other.

This meal lasted until the afternoon.

After the banquet was over, the soldiers who had been waiting outside the restaurant for half a day rushed forward and helped their master, who was stumbling around, get into the carriage.

Shen Jia insisted on riding in the same carriage with Shen You.

Sit down!Anyway, I live next door, so it is very convenient to return home in the same car.

"Fourth brother," Shen Jia put her arms around Shen You's shoulders, hiccupped twice at the same time, reeking of alcohol, and she seemed to have beads in her mouth when she spoke, neither limp nor clear: "I'm really happy today. "

Shen You was drunk and laughed: "Third brother, I am also happy for you. Since our brothers have come to the frontier army, we have to make some achievements. It is not difficult to be promoted in the future. A fourth-rank It’s nothing to be a general. In three, five, ten, or eight years, you’ll be a great general.”

Responding to these rhetoric was a loud grunt.

Shen You turned his head to look, and couldn't help laughing.

Shen Jia had already leaned against Shen You and fell asleep.
