On the last day of April, Ren Ning just returned home.
Guan Yi took Zuo Shilang and several subordinates to Yong'an Hutong with complicated expressions.
Looking up at the words "Ren Zhai" on the lintel, he waited quietly for a while.
As a result, no one came out to ask questions.
cough!
Zuo Dailang behind him coughed and stepped forward wisely.
Bang bang!
The door rang.
However, after a long while, it was still quiet inside, as if no one was there at all.
Looking at each other, he had no choice but to raise his voice and shout: "Is General Ren at home?"
"Who is it?" Jixiang heard the noise and hurried over to open the small door.
"Who are you?" She looked wary, looking up and down at the people in front of her and the carriage behind her, with no intention of letting Guan Yi and others in.
cough!
Although she was a young maid, Zuo Shilang didn't dare to entrust her to her.
He had no choice but to cough again and introduce: "We are from the Yamen of the Ministry of War, and this is Master Shangshu Guan. Is General Ren at home?"
"He is the Minister of the Ministry of War?" Jixiang looked at Guanyi dubiously.
The Ministry of War oversees most of the generals. Only the soldiers from various places have always tried their best to please them. How could the Minister of War turn around and visit the generals in person?
This unscientific.
Despite this, Jixiang curled his lips and got out of the way: "Come in!"
The rookies in front of me are weak and frail, and they walk very weakly. Not to mention that Ren Ning is at home now, even if his general is not around, Ji Xiang is not afraid of them.
cough!
Zuo Shilang coughed again and reminded him again concisely: "Girl, is this the Minister of War?"
As a high-ranking official in the Sixth Department and Ren Ning's immediate boss, isn't it worth opening the front door and lowering the threshold to greet him?
"I know." However, the little maid who came over from the grassland didn't understand what he meant at all. She just nodded and said in confusion: "Didn't you just introduce his identity?"
Zuo Shilang's face was filled with tears and he didn't know what to say for a moment.
Guan Yi looked up at the sky, then glanced at the closed door next to him, and silently walked through the small door and entered Ren's house with his mouth trembling.
Entered the main hall.
Ji Xiang served tea to the guests, and she pointed her hand back: "Guys, please wait, I'll go find our general right now."
After saying that, the little maid hurried away, leaving several people in Guanyi looking at each other.
"Sir, this general has too few family members." Zuo Shilang couldn't help but mutter. The large front yard was empty, except for a young maid greeting guests.
"However, the courtyard is very orderly and clean inside and outside." He added.
Guan Yi glanced at his subordinate and saw that he was still aggrieved, so he remained silent.
You know shit!
Such new generals with a clean family background and no foundation are the most favored by His Majesty.
Picking up the teacup on the table and sniffing it gently, Guan Yi's eyes suddenly lit up.
It is actually the best Yunzhong old tea.
This kind of tea was so rare that he couldn't get it through any connections, and he usually refused to take it out to taste.
However, here in Ren Ning, a maid who doesn't understand the rules can actually get it easily?
For a moment, Guan Yi felt a little sad, and quickly tasted it suspiciously.
After this taste, he gave up completely.
Just as I was feeling aggrieved, there was the sound of trampling footsteps at the back door.
Ren Ning, his wife, Lei Er and Li Hebai strode in.
"Xingluo Legion Ren Ning Leiyu, Zhennan Pass Li Hebai met Master Guan, He Shilang."
The two parties met with each other, and there was a flurry of exchanges of courtesy.
Finally, Ren Ning asked: "I wonder what the honor of Lord Shangshu comes to my humble residence?"
Guan Yi laughed.
"The empire has always paid attention to clear rewards and punishments. The soldiers on the front line are fighting effectively, and the military department is proud of itself even though it is far away from the imperial capital."
"Although the Ministry of Justice is still verifying the culpability of the Nanfeng people, our Ministry of War and the soldiers on the front line do not speak the same language. We will work overtime to finally complete the calculation of your military merits."
"I am here this time to recommend your military ranks to the generals."
Buzz~
"Very good!"
"The day has finally come."
Although Ren Ning and others already knew this, they couldn't help but be overjoyed at this time.
The Zuo Shilang next to him quickly took out the silk book. Starting with Ren Ning, he described in detail the great and small achievements he made during the campaign against Nanfeng.
The final word was finally made.
"On April 30, the 29th year of Changxing, it was verified by the Ministry of War that Ren Ning, the seventh-grade brave and courageous captain of the former Xingluo Army, repeatedly performed extraordinary feats during the expedition..."
From the fifth rank, General Xuanwu!
"Only from the fifth level?" Ji Xiang on the other side was very dissatisfied.
Moreover, the little maid actually didn't know how high the fifth rank was, but she felt quite uncomfortable with the word "cong".
As for the gold, silver, jewelry, and fertile land that came with the promotion, Jixiang didn't even look at it.
When the Xingluo Legion or its generals attacked the Nanfeng Palace, some of the gold and silver they found had to be handed over to the national treasury, but there were also a lot of them left in their hands.
In a word, they are not short of money now.
Guan Yi looked at the little maid with a ruthless expression.
If this was his Shangshu Mansion, and the servants dared to interrupt randomly when the master and guests were talking, a rip-off would be inevitable.
Besides, in just over half a year, Ren Ning was promoted from the seventh grade to the fifth grade. It has spanned three levels.
This is already a very rare promotion speed. In Yunchui's hundreds of years of history, there has been no one except Princess Yiguang who was more than 40 years old. It can be said that there is no one before or after.
This ungrateful little maid actually thinks her class is low?
Ren Ning knows what is good and what is bad.
He looked at Ying Pan, whose face was full of spring breeze, and said with a smile: "This level is not low. At least I have fulfilled the promise I made when I left the imperial capital last year."
"My husband is right." Yingpan nodded with a smile.
Guan Yi's face looked better now.
He also asked Zuo Shilang to take out the promotion orders of Lei Er and Li Hebai and read them out.
Lei Er was promoted to the sixth level and was still unable to establish his own business.
As for Li Hebai, because of his ancestral influence in the family, the Guerrilla General's Mansion in Guangxin County was promoted to a fifth-grade military general like Ren Ning.
As for the plaques for the general mansions of the two families, the Ministry of War is rushing to produce them and it will take a few days to deliver them.
After finishing talking, Guan Yi glanced at the curling tea bowl.
Ren Ning asked Jixiang to give him some.
"I ground the old tea leaves from Yunzhong County from General Wei. The quantity is not much. I hope Mr. Guan doesn't mind."
"Where is it!" Guanyi was already happy.
At this time, I heard that the tea actually belonged to Wei Junqian, and I was even more touched. I consciously raised Ren Ning's position higher in my heart, so I didn't dare to complain.
However, there was civil unrest in the three western counties and he was busy with official duties, so he made an excuse to go to Zhongyong Bo's Mansion. He politely refused Ren Ning's offer to stay and left with his subordinates first.
