Chapter 3 Promotion
The courtyard where Shen Ange lived was not far from the main entrance, and when he heard the commotion outside, he called Yunzhi to see what was going on.

In less than half a quarter of an hour, Yun Zhi reported back and forth, looking extremely happy.

"Back to the girl, great joy, great joy."

"Listen."

"Master was named a general by the emperor, and the reward came down and sent to the mansion. Let's go and have a look."

Shen Ange was stunned. Is today the day of father's promotion?Is the Zhou family coming soon?

"Miss, let's go to see the excitement too."

When Shen Ange and Yun Zhi came to the front yard, many congratulators had already gathered, father and elder brother were surrounded in the middle.

In the crowd, she saw Zhou Jing and his parents at a glance. Her father had always disliked these flattering scenes. After exchanging a few words of thanks, she hurried them out, saying that they would come back next time for a drink or two.

Only brother Jing stayed.

Shen Ange knew that he had seen her. After all, her father was trying so hard to wink at her, so she understood why Brother Jing was left alone. It was probably because he loved his daughter so much and wanted to create opportunities for her.

She saw Zhou Jing walking towards her, and Yun Zhi who was beside her looked very knowing, she said very wittily, "I still have something to do in the kitchen," and left.

Yunzhi, oh Yunzhi, you sold your lady and me like this, Zhou Jing stopped at an arm's length away.

Shen An sang Fuli: "Brother Jing is well."

"Sister An Ge, are you feeling better?"

Speaking of this, Shen Ange was a little embarrassed, so she lowered her head to cover up: "That day, I have to thank Brother Jing, it's because Ange was ignorant and impulsive."

Zhou Jing frowned, he thought why Shen Ange was different after the injury, now she is alienated, and Zhili is also self-denying, unlike her a few days ago.

"...Sister An Ge, it's not like it used to be after being injured."

Shen Ange raised his eyes and smiled lightly: "Brother Jing said something, it's tiring to stand up, brother Jing, let's sit over there?"

The two kept a suitable distance, one in front of the other, completely gone from the previous situation where Shen Ange circled around the scene.

He didn't know whether to describe it as a girl's parents growing up, or to describe the difference between men and women. The woman who used to say "Brother Jing" disappeared, and was replaced by this dignified lady of the general's mansion in front of him.

He simply called his name directly to recall his past friendship: "An Ge, do you blame me for being late?"

Shen Ange knew what he was referring to. She was hurt. He came early or late to see her. It was not the same, so she just smiled.

"Brother Jing, don't feel guilty, An Ge has recovered."

Zhou Jing in the last life was the same as Zhou Jing in this life. He treated him very well, and Shen Ange at this age in the previous life did have a crush on him. At that time, she didn't understand, but now Shen Ange understands. The Zhou family sees Daddy. She came to discuss relatives only after being promoted, but because of her family background, not her.

Marrying a man, marrying a man, marrying a man is not just the man alone, but the family behind the man. It is absolutely impossible for Brother Jing to be good alone, and he cannot drag the entire Shen family into trouble.

She can't tell the person in front of her directly that I am no longer the Shen Ange I used to be, and I know that we will not have good results, so I just let it go.

In order not to let him see the clue, Shen Ange had no choice but to be polite and alienated in a tactful manner, and only hoped that he could understand the meaning.

After saying a few words, Shen Ange thought about chasing people away, since he was so obvious, he should understand.

"I'm a little tired today. Brother Xie Jing came to see me, so I won't see him off."

Zhou Jing was urged away by her just like that, but he didn't meet Shen Ange's expectations. How could Zhou Jing, a military general, understand the thoughts of his daughter's family?

At that moment, he decided to let his parents come to discuss marriage early, and marry this person he fell in love with at first sight.

Shen Ange sent Zhou Jing away, came to the main hall, and just stepped in, three eyes stared at her in unison.

In the end Shen's mother said: "Why don't you see that you are keeping Young Master Zhou for dinner?"

"Mother, Mr. Zhou has his own home, why did he stay here for dinner?"

Shen Bai was also dumbfounded. Could it be that my sister doesn't like Mr. Zhou?He even went to say hello so that Zhou Jing could treat her better in the future.

Everyone didn't understand her for a while, they exchanged glances with each other.

Shen Ange pretended not to see their eyes, sat down and calmly asked the maid to pour a cup of tea.

"Father, why did Your Majesty promote you as a general?"

It is also strange to say that before the Shen family moved to Changyuan, as long as she could remember, her father had been serving as a second-rank lieutenant for a long time, and he had only made a few small contributions with the army for four times, and the rewards given by the emperor were only taels of silver. Like General Sun, several boxes of rewards were carried to the mansion.

Shen Nantian replied to her: "I don't know either. In the early court, His Majesty said that I have fought with General Sun several times. As a pillar of the country, I should be rewarded."

"I'm not the only one who was rewarded, but I'm the only one who got promoted, maybe it's just the occasion for employing people."

Hearing this, Shen Ange asked the doubts in his heart: "Father, does General Sun have a reward?"

"No."

Shen Ange glanced at his father and elder brother, both of them had the same expression, father and elder brother had the same temperament, obeyed the emperor's order, and only wanted to protect the family and the country, and protect the people from being displaced.

Now the rest of the people have received rewards, but General Sun, who fought together as the commander, has no rewards. It is not difficult to guess what the emperor means.

"Sister, what do you mean by asking?"

Shen Nantian said what she was thinking: "Ge'er, there are not many people who can be commanders in the army at present, and there are not even a few. There must be a commander in the army. Your Majesty's move may also be to stabilize the morale of the army."

Hearing Shen Nantian's words, Shen Bai also understood the reason behind it.

"Daddy is right. Where did my sister think about it? Why didn't I find out when my sister would think about these things?"

Shen Ange could only say that he likes to read military books recently, so he thought about it a little bit and prevaricated.

Although it is not allowed to talk about the king, Shen Ange had to be more careful because something was wrong with this incident. He has only just taken office now, and he hoped nothing would happen.

The scene of the previous life must never reappear. Her father died in battle, her brother's whereabouts were unknown, and she only saw the mark on the murderer's shoulder before she died, but did not see his face.

The atmosphere in the hall became more serious. Seeing that no one spoke, Shen's mother calmed down: "Ge'er, your father got a reward today, and ordered the kitchen to cook some dishes for dinner. Let's celebrate too."

It is enough for her to worry about these things alone, and then Shen Ange responded to Shen's mother with a smile: "Mother is thoughtful, father and brother have worked hard, it is time to celebrate."

This reward came out of nowhere, but fortunately, this is what Dad deserves.

Just being happy, the servants brought a letter of greeting, saying that it was from the Zhou family, and that they would come to visit the mansion tomorrow to congratulate the master on his promotion.
