Chapter 278 On the Rewards for Deeds
The army entered the city in the morning, and it was already afternoon when Ji Sibo returned home. Ji Hongzhuo, Zhou Shi, and Ji Qiongzhi were looking forward to it.

After he returned home, Mrs. Zhou greeted him with care, and even dragged him to her own yard, insisting that Ji Sibo take off his clothes to see how many scars he had on his body.

When Mrs. Zhou came out of Ji Sibo's yard, she burst into tears. Ji Sibo touched his nose helplessly, not knowing how to comfort his mother.

Fortunately, Mrs. Zhou wiped away her tears after crying for a while, and went to the kitchen to cook a table of dishes. The family sat down to eat together at night. Mrs. Zhou said with emotion, "Finally, the whole family can eat together neatly."

After dinner, the group went to the side hall to drink tea and digest food. Ji Fushou looked at Ji Sibo and asked, "Have you received your reward yet?"

Ji Sibo nodded, "The Ministry of War is still checking, but it should be soon."

Ji Fushou smiled teasingly, "The army is entering the city today, I heard that many ladies are secretly watching you and the second son of the Chi family?"

Zhou's eyes lit up instantly, and she looked at her son without blinking.

Ji Sibo's expression was the same, and he shrugged, "There are too many people on the street, and the teahouses and restaurants on both sides are also full of people. This is the first time I have seen the capital city full of people. As for the ladies who my aunt mentioned, I don't know any of them." See clearly, they are all crowded in the window, I can't just stare at the girl's house like an apprentice."

Zhou's gaze dimmed again.

Ji Fushou smiled, "When you award the reward, maybe a lot of people will come to propose marriage."

Zhou's eyes lit up again.

Ji Sibo only felt that A Niang's gaze was really tingling, and he racked his brains and said, "A Niang, when I award the reward, our family will not be in decline like in the past, and you can also choose a good husband for Auntie." Son-in-law."

He didn't dare to say aunt, so he could only push sister out. He was only 16 years old, how could he get married so soon?
Ji Qiongzhi blushed suddenly, and glared at Ji Sibo angrily, "What the hell are you talking about!"

Hearing the words, Mrs. Zhou glanced at Ji Fushou unconsciously, coughed twice, "Okay, okay, don't make fun of your sister, it's getting late, you're running all the way, you should go back and rest early."

After Ji Fushou and the two children left one after another, Zhou asked Ji Hongzhuo next to him in a low voice full of expectation, "Husband, do you think Ah Zhi likes that young man that Ah Shou mentioned?"

Ji Hongzhuo walked back to the main room with his hands behind his back, and replied in a low voice, "The person Ah Shou likes is definitely not bad. Since ancient times, major marriages have been ordered by parents. As long as this person is good, Ah Zhi will be married for the rest of his life." What is the importance of love between a man and a woman, the most important thing is that this man is responsible, if he can not keep concubines like me, then he will be the best man."

Mrs. Zhou nodded in agreement, and thought about it, "You are right, Ah Shou said that the young man has no father and no mother, his character is not bad, and he doesn't like to go out to spend time and wine, and his future is good. Being the master of the family, without the restraint of his parents-in-law, he can often visit us at his mother's house in his free time, what a perfect son-in-law."

The Zhou family looked forward to Chu Lingjun very much, and had been looking forward to meeting him.

"Don't think about it too much. After a while, the young man will come to the door. Then you can take a good look and see it first."

The next day, Ji Fushou called Ji Sibo over.

"Sibo, Auntie has something here that needs your cooperation." Ji Fushou cut to the chase.

Ji Sibo sat up straight with a solemn expression, "Auntie, tell me."

Ji Fushou took a sip of tea, looked at Ji Sibo with a smile, "You and the second son of the British government are friends now, right?"

Ji Sibo nodded, "Yes, during the trip to northern Xinjiang, we became good brothers."

"Well, that's good. What my aunt asked you to do is that you find an opportunity to inadvertently tell Mr. Chi that someone has come to propose marriage to your aunt. Your parents are very satisfied with this person."

"puff"

Ji Sibo took a sip of tea and burst into a coughing sound, "Cough cough cough cough."

After he wiped the tea from the corner of his mouth clean, he blurted out and asked, "Someone came to propose marriage to my aunt? Who is it? Why don't I know?"

Immediately, he realized that his words were too ambiguous, and quickly explained, "Auntie, what I mean is, I'm just worried about that person's character."

Ji Fushou shook his head amusedly, "Is this what Auntie is talking about?"

Ji Sibo was stunned, recalling what his aunt said just now, he suddenly realized, "It's A Shi? By the way, aunt, why did you want me to tell A Shi that someone came to propose marriage to you?"

Ji Fushou corrected him, "I want to tell him inadvertently."

Ji Sibo scratched his head, "Auntie, what do you need to do?"

Ji Fushou nodded slightly, "Come on, Auntie will tell you about this in detail."

It was only after a cup of tea that Ji Sibo understood what was going on here. He patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, Auntie, I will definitely take care of what you told me."

Two days later, Ji Sibo was promoted to General Huaihua under the third rank because of his great contributions.

From the ranger general at the fifth rank to the Huaihua general at the third rank, this is simply a leap into the dragon's gate. You must know that Ji Sibo is only 16 years old after the new year.

A 16-year-old third-rank general can be seen by anyone with a discerning eye. As long as he does not make mistakes, he will at least be a general in command of the army in the future.

All of a sudden, many courtiers with unmarried daughters all set their sights on Ji Sibo.

In just one day, Ji Sibo received seven or eight points of posts, all of which were invitations from young and middle-aged talents in Beijing to attend the meeting.

But the most popular young man in Beijing is not Ji Sibo, but Chi Jiashi.

Chi Jiashi has also jumped from being a general of the fifth rank to a strong general of the fourth rank.

Although Chi Jiashi is one rank lower than Ji Sibo in terms of official rank, he is the son of the Duke of England. In the eyes of outsiders, he will inherit the Duke of England in the future. Even if his official rank is lower than Ji Sibo's now, his status and status will definitely be higher than that of Ji Sibo in the future. high.

Most of the people who fancy Ji Sibo are civil servants of the fourth and fifth ranks or generals of the third and fourth ranks. Most of the Gonghou's family looked down on Ji Sibo and disliked his family's decline for a long time, so marrying their daughter to him would not be of much benefit to the family.

Of course, such an idea will make many people regret it in the future.

In addition to Ji Sibo and Chi Jiashi, Huaiying was also awarded the title of General Mingwei from the fourth rank.

On the afternoon of receiving the imperial decree, Ji Sibo received a post from Chi Jiashi's order, inviting the three brothers to get together three days later.

When Ji Sibo saw this post, he knew that the time had come for his aunt to tell him what he was going to do.
