Chapter 25

Before, most people hadn't even heard this name.

However, because of the incident where Jia Rong was beaten and made a fool of himself.

It became known to everyone, and it would be hard not to know.

However, because a month had passed.

Everyone had gradually forgotten this side-branch descendant Jia Hui whom they had never met.

Lady Wang breathed a sigh of relief and asked dismissively: "Could it be that he is already dead?"

Wang Xifeng smiled and said: "Madam is joking. This Jia Hui is a thing that is nothing; if he dies, he dies, just like a wild dog on the side of the road, who would care, and how could it be discussed in the court?"

Although these words were unpleasant.

Everyone felt it made sense.

Jia Zheng, however, scolded: "Don't say such things again in the future!"

Wang Xifeng was startled.

She didn't understand why she was scolded for no reason!

"Why is Master so angry?"

Lady Wang was also startled and asked for her.

Jia Mu, Yingchun, Hearing Tanchun, and others, as well as maids like Yuanyang and Ping'er, all looked at Jia Zheng with full confusion.

Jia Zheng said coldly: "You women have long hair and short knowledge, you don't know! Jia Hui went to the border, achieved an extraordinary feat, led a group of cavalry to slaughter over a thousand Tatars, and His Majesty was overjoyed and has already conferred upon him the rank of Mobile Corps Commander, and also conferred the rank of First-Class General of State Service and one Cloud Cavalry Lieutenant!"

【21】 Hearing Tanchun admires and is curious! Wang Xifeng is panicked, Lady Wang is unhappy

Jia Zheng's words came out!

The entire hall of Jia Mu's house in the Rongguo Prefecture exploded!

Jia Mu, Lady Xing, Lady Wang, Wang Xifeng, Jia Baoyu, Yingchun, Hearing Tanchun, Xichun, Li Wan, and other masters of the Rongguo Prefecture, down to maids like Yuanyang and Ping'er, were all shocked!

"What?"

"How is this possible?"

"Jia Hui was promoted?"

"He killed over a thousand Tatars? How is that possible? Isn't it said that the Tatars are invincible and not to be trifled with? He actually killed over a thousand Tatars?"

"Impossible, right!"

"..."

The whole family couldn't believe it.

Wang Xifeng, after being surprised, because she was one of the people who looked down on Jia Hui the most.

Plus she had just insulted and belittled him so unpleasantly.

So she couldn't help but suspect: "Did he follow the main army and mix in some military merit? Or did he fake it? I heard there are people who kill innocents to claim merit."

Everyone heard this and felt it made sense.

Hearing Tanchun nodded and thought: "There is indeed this possibility!"

Jia Zheng snorted: "Ignorant women, this matter is supervised and reported by the Imperial City Department and others, so it is impossible to fake it."

"And he didn't follow any main army, but personally led dozens of ordinary little soldiers to slaughter the Tatars!"

Speaking of this.

Jia Zheng's expression was clearly very appreciative of Jia Hui.

He could be considered honest, but he was muddled and slow.

He was always "diligent and cautious" and honest as an official. He did not take bribes, but he could not control his subordinates to uphold the law, let alone set an example himself, guide them well, and know how to use people. He indulged them and let them do whatever they wanted, turning a blind eye, to the point where they were doing evil under his banner.

So Jia Zhen and the others' targeting of Jia Hui.

He did not participate.

Nor did he stop it.

Looking at the shocked Wang Xifeng and others, he finally said: "If not, how could there be such a heavy reward?"

Lady Wang, Wang Xifeng, and others immediately realized!

That's right!

To be able to be promoted from the lowest level to Mobile Corps Commander and also be conferred nobility.

It must have been reviewed.

And he must have achieved great merit!

If he had just mixed in some merit.

It would be impossible to have such a reward!

After realizing this!

They were even more shocked!

Among them.

Although Hearing Tanchun was a concubine's daughter and a woman.

She was a shrewd and capable woman who could make decisions and had the nickname "Rose," a strange woman whom even Feng-jie feared a few points.

She could see through things, make decisions, had foresight, ambition, could speak, and could handle things; she was a talented person, so she was given the word "Min" (sharp/clever).

It was a pity she was a woman, otherwise, she could have revitalized the Jia family.

She admired the heroes of the past the most.

And Jia Hui's behavior of being able to kill strong foreign races with a weak position.

Naturally, she admired him extremely!

Suddenly, her beautiful eyes flashed, and for the first time, she felt curious about Jia Hui: "Jia Hui, what kind of person is he? Daring to beat Jia Rong, exposing the other's true face in public, and now slaughtering foreign races and achieving extraordinary feats, at the very least he is a brave, fearless, and unyielding fierce man with a temper!"

Wang Xifeng was a bit panicked.

Because she had belittled Jia Hui several times, and her words were very unpleasant.

If Jia Hui returned.

And it reached his ears, that would not be good.

Although she felt Jia Hui couldn't threaten her.

But she, who was sophisticated, didn't want to offend a rising clan talent for no reason.

Wang Xifeng thought of something and hurriedly asked: "Second Master, what rank is this Mobile Corps Commander and that nobility?"

Although she was sophisticated and could manage the house.

She was completely illiterate and couldn't even keep a ledger.

Because the Wang family didn't cultivate her in this regard.

She didn't understand military and political affairs at all.

"Mobile Corps Commander is a regular third-rank, and First-Class General of State Service and one Cloud Cavalry Lieutenant belongs to the third rank, with an annual salary of 235 taels of silver and 235 hu of grain."

Jia Zheng said.

These words shocked the women again!

Only then did they truly understand what benefits and astonishing status Jia Hui had obtained!

You must know.

Jia Zheng was only a regular fifth-rank Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Works!

And he had no nobility.

Because the one who inherited the nobility was his elder brother Jia She.

Who inherited the first-rank military official's First-Class General of State Defense position.

It was only two major ranks higher than Jia Hui.

Because it was not Supra-Rank.

So the gap was actually not large.

"This is the same rank as the nobility of Zhen-ge'er of the Ningguo Prefecture next door, and he also has a real position that he doesn't have!!"

The women gasped.

Wang Xifeng muttered: "I heard people say that this Jia Hui is only fourteen or fifteen years old this year."

Everyone was even more moved!
