Chapter 217
Mrs. Xie was taken aback when she heard Xie Zongqi's words, and asked, "Thank you fourth girl, what are you thanking her for?"

Xie Zongqi said, "We formed a Flying Tiger Battalion and practiced a set of special formations. In addition, the swords and guns given by the fourth sister and the fourth brother-in-law were extremely sharp. It was a surprise victory, and the Turks were caught off guard..."

The old lady Xie snorted coldly, "How did Dalang grow up other people's ambitions and destroy his own prestige? You have made great achievements, that is because you have the ability, your father has strategy, what does it have to do with that dead girl? Do you need to thank her? "

Xie Zongqi had already made up his mind on the way back. After returning to the mansion, he would help Xie Xian'er fight for a position in the mansion. First, he felt sorry for her, and second, he was grateful to her.Moreover, her father has also changed his opinion of her, and wants to record her under his mother's name.Then wouldn't she become his own sister?In this way, he can't make people prejudice against her.

Then he smiled at the old lady, "Grandma doesn't know something, those swords and guns cut iron like mud, especially in the cold season, they often cut off the weapons of the Turkic people. Today in the Golden Palace, the emperor praised the eldest prince and the second My brother-in-law. He said that Baosteel and its good weapons have not only helped us win this great battle, but also made great contributions to strengthening the national strength. From my sister's dowry workshop."

"Okay, even if she is capable." The old lady said again, "but no matter how capable she is, she is my granddaughter, and she is also the daughter of our Xie family who married off. Just like your father, who has become a generalissimo, is also my son. You make meritorious deeds." When I come back, I will be my eldest grandson if I get promoted a few more levels. That dead girl is good, she will turn her face and deny anyone when she climbs a high branch, and she will not help her younger brothers and sisters at all, and now she can't even invite me back."

Xie Zongqi was a little honest, and blurted out, "Fourth sister is not like this kind of person. If he didn't recognize Dad and me, he wouldn't give us those good weapons."

The old lady felt aggrieved, and asked with a serious face, "Does Da Lang think grandma is lying?"

Anping quickly smiled and said, "Grandma misunderstood Dalang, you don't know what kind of personality he is? Most of all, he is clumsy and his words don't convey his meaning."

Xie Zongqi also hurriedly laughed and said, "Grandma misunderstood, grandson didn't mean that."

The old lady still wanted to talk, but the second master Xie laughed and said, "Mother, whether it's Da Lang or Xian girl, it's our Xie family. It's a good thing for our family that they are successful."

Third Madam Xie said with a smile, "Oh, today's fourth girl is not the soft and weak fourth girl. We treat her as our own family, but they don't regard themselves as Xie's daughter, and disobeyed mother-in-law several times..."

Anping put down the soup cup in his hand, and said with a smile, "Today is Dalang's welcome banquet, why are you talking about the fourth girl?"

The third master Xie gave the third lady a look, picked up the wine bowl and said with a smile, "Yes, yes, tonight is for Da Lang. Come, come, Da Lang has wine."

Xie Zongyang also smiled and said, "Brother, you don't know, Grandma was so happy when she found out that Daddy and you are coming back. I can't sleep at night, and I have to drink calming soup..."

Everyone laughed and covered this topic.

Early the next morning, Xie Honghui did not go directly to Xie's house, but went to the Golden Palace with the emperor.Moreover, the emperor issued a decree to call some officers and men who had made great contributions to the Golden Palace, to add officials to them, and to reward them with money and things.

Unsurprisingly, Xie Honghui was granted the title of Shaobao, Xie Zongqi was promoted to the third rank, and joined the leadership of the deputy Xiaoqi of the fourth rank.The 27-year-old Huo Ranxi Jin Bo, who was named the third-rank Jianrui Camp Jichang, is currently the youngest uncle and third-rank official in the entire Great Xia Dynasty, and his promotion speed is almost equal to that of Mr. Ma thirty years ago.Ma Jiaren was also promoted to the third rank, and was appointed as a third-rank guard to participate in the leadership. He was equal to the second master Ma at a young age...

When the news reached Xie's residence, everyone was overjoyed.Mrs. Xie was a little disappointed, her son had made such a great contribution, not to mention being a noble, at least he should have been given a first-rank title, but only a false title.

Seeing the happy family, she didn't say much. After everyone left, she told her second son, who came home to announce the good news, about her depression.

Master Xie Er hurriedly persuaded, "Mother, don't think so. Eldest brother is the commander of the Imperial Forest Army. Although he is a second-rank official, it is more important than some first-rank and second-rank positions. Only the emperor's absolute confidant can take on this important task. This shows that the emperor trusts eldest brother and is willing to continue to use him, which is a good thing."

The old lady felt better after hearing this.He also said, "Three young generals who have made great contributions, one was appointed uncle, and the other became a third-rank official, but our Dalang is still a fourth-rank official. Your elder brother is also true. How can the credit of those two be overshadowed?" What about my family?"

The second master sighed inwardly, his mother's knowledge is short, and she is very petty.It's better when you're young, but the older you get, the worse it gets.This is the gap between a daughter of a small official family and a daughter of an aristocratic family, lack of background and bearing.

He persuaded again, "My mother is wrong again. By doing this, the eldest brother is more selfless in his heart, and it will make the emperor value him even more. If the emperor values ​​him, will Dalang's future be worse? Don't look at the immediate future, but look at the long-term." some."

Just as he was talking, the things rewarded by the emperor were brought to Xie's residence.More than a thousand acres of fertile land, 1000 taels of gold, jade jewelry, silk and satin medicinal materials brought more than a dozen carts.Listening to the grandson's counting, the old lady was so happy that she couldn't see her eyes, and she forgot the unhappiness in her heart.

In the evening, the enthusiastic Uncle Ma, Duke Ma, and the Second Master left the court, and Second Master Ma and Third Master Ma left the yamen and went back to the mansion one after another.As soon as he entered, he was directly invited to the meeting hall of the outer courtyard.

The old lady is leading Ma Silang, Ma Wulang, Ma Liulang, An Geer, Ping Geer, Fang Geer, Zhen Geer and others sitting there in plain clothes. There are more than thirty people in plain clothes sitting in the hall. People who wear hemp and filial piety.

After seeing this scene, several people guessed that nine people died among the guards who followed Uncle Ma in the mansion, and these people must be relatives of those nine people.

Several people immediately restrained their emotions, and walked into the hall with a sad face.

On behalf of the Ma family, Ma Guogong expressed deep condolences to the nine dead guards, and said that these nine people gave their young lives for the country. The Ma family will never forget them and will take care of their parents, family, wives and children on their behalf. .

Ma Jiaren led the male masters of his generation and the next generation to bow down to the relatives of these people, thanking those nine people for their heroic sacrifice for Daxia and him.

At this time, Xie Xian'er was eating in Jiange.At first she thought that there would be a banquet to celebrate Ma Jiaren's promotion to the third rank, but in the afternoon the old lady sent someone to say that she didn't have to go to Fuqing Courtyard for dinner at night, and even took Brother Zhen to the outer courtyard.

After inquiring, it turned out that this was the case, and I had to admire the old man and the old lady even more in my heart.
