Chapter 382： promoted again

Just when he thought he would die like this, Duke Xu saved him.

At that time, he was just an ordinary soldier, while the Duke was the commander of the camp, and his status was very different.

But after seeing him being punished, the Duke of the State asked the soldiers why he was punished. After learning that he was punished because he refused to obey the order in yesterday's operation and delayed the progress of the mission, the Duke of the State asked him to let him go.

Grandpa Guo not only rescued him, but also took him to the commander's tent and treated him to a drink.

That day the Duke of the Kingdom said a lot to him.

He said: Seeing that you have been exposed to the scorching sun without changing your face, you are a man with strong bones. It would be a pity if you died because of this mistake. Your life should be left on the battlefield to protect your home and country. .

He said: Whether it is in the military camp, in the court or in the homes of ordinary people, evil will always exist. The important thing is not how to avoid evil, but how to protect the goodness in your heart.

He said: You and I are actually the same. Although our identities are different at present, what you and I are doing is no big or small, and we are all fighting our only life to defend our home and country. The reason why we can hold the sword in our hands tightly is because we all have a belief in our hearts that behind us are our fathers and villagers, the old, the weak, women and children, and if we fall, they will fall too.

…

On that day, the fledgling, he looked at the Grand Duke who was revered by thousands of people in astonishment the whole time, watching him drink freely and laugh loudly, showing a side he had never seen in ordinary times.

It turns out that the majestic and majestic Grand Duke is such a bold and casual person in private.

It turns out that such a great hero is as approachable as an ordinary old man.

That was the only close contact between him and the Duke. It might not be a big deal to the Duke, but it had a profound impact on him.

Wei Mingting was not unimpressed by what Zheng Zhongye said when he captured Zheng Zhongye, but he had already figured it out a long time ago, and it was the Duke who taught him.

Later, the Duke of the State was defeated and lost three cities in the northeast.

He firmly believed that this was slander, and such a person would never do something that colluded with the enemy and betrayed the country.

However, Grandpa Guo failed to return to the capital alive to defend himself. He died on the way back to Beijing...

…

Wei Mingting regained consciousness from the memory, the old wine bag in his hand at this moment is the same bag that Duke Guo invited him to drink.

Then Wei Mingting got up, and took out a jar of wine from the cabinet behind him, it was thyme.

He poured the thyme wine into the leather bag, then raised his head and drank it.

Drinking half a jug of wine, his eyes flashed back to that snowy night, when that person handed the infant child into his hands.

"Remember, once this matter is exposed, you have committed the crime of ransacking your home." The man said.

He looked at the child and chose to take it after hesitation.

"I have to repay the kindness." He said to the man.

Wei Mingting closed his eyes, that child Jinyi...

In a blink of an eye, so many years have passed...Some things still come to that point...

###

The next day, the imperial decree came, and Wei Mingting was officially promoted to the garrison of the Anti-Japanese Army in Taizhou Prefecture, and he was awarded the title of General Wude, the fifth rank.

At the same time, many gold and silver artifacts were rewarded.

Wei Mingting did not show much joy on his face after receiving the order.

The palace people who came to pass the decree also understood this very well. After all, Master Wei has just experienced the pain of bereavement, so naturally he cannot be happy at the moment.

It's just that this decree was approved ten days ago, but it was sent to Taizhou Prefecture by a special person appointed by the imperial court today.

After comforting Wei Mingting and expressing his congratulations, the palace servants left Xiaowei's Mansion and went to the post station.

The good news of Wei Mingting's promotion quickly spread to the backyard, and the mansion was full of joy.

Before, it was only temporary, and only when this decree came down, could Wei Mingting's official position be truly settled.

It is really bad to say that Zheng Zhongye is bad, but it is also his badness that gave Wei Mingting such a good opportunity.

Otherwise, I don't know how many years it will take before Wei Mingting can get such a promotion and sit in this defensive position.

Yun immediately ran to burn incense in front of the ancestral tablet, and thanked the ancestors for their protection.

Immediately afterwards, he told the servants: "Don't be too happy in front of the master. Jin Yi has just left, and the master's mood has not calmed down yet, so it is not appropriate to celebrate this too much."

Yun knows Wei Mingting well, and knows that his family is more important than his official position, so he must not be overly happy at this moment.

In Wangmei Garden, Wei Qingwan also heard the news.

Involuntarily, a look of great joy appeared on his face.

From now on, Xiaowei's Mansion will no longer be Xiaowei's Mansion, but will be renamed General's Mansion.

From captain to general, this is a step that many people will not be able to cross in their entire lives.

At the same time, this also means that her identity as Miss Wei's family has also undergone a huge change.

The first thing Wei Qingwan thought of was that the status gap between her and Mr. Qi had become smaller, and the resistance of Mr. Qi to marry her would also be reduced a lot.

"Miss, this is really great!" Cui He was happy for Wei Qingwan, but also for herself.

"Yes." Wei Qingwan's face was full of anticipation and longing.

"Now we only need to wait for the master to forgive the miss, and then take the miss back to the house, everything will develop in a good direction!" Cui He said again.

"Yes." Wei Qingwan thought so too.

As long as Wei Qingruo doesn't get in the way, she won't be far away when she returns home, and then she can stay with Mr. Qi...

Thinking of Qi Zhen, Wei Qingwan couldn't help showing a happy and shy smile on her face.

As long as she can be with Young Master Qi, no matter whether it is Wei Qingruo or someone else who blocks her, she will not be afraid to shrink back.

Listen to Songyuan.

When Wei Ruo heard about Wei Mingting's promotion, the first thing that came to his mind was Xu Zhengyong's situation.

Wei Mingting has been officially appointed, so Brother Xiaoyong should be about the same.

I just don’t know if Brother Xiaoyong will be able to secure the position of deputy defense so smoothly. Wei Mingting’s promotion to the defense is almost predictable, because there is no more suitable candidate than him.

But it is still difficult for Brother Xiaoyong to advance to three levels in a row.

"Meimei, let's go to Sibaozhai." Wei Ruo said to Xiumei.

"Like Miss, I can't wait to know about Brother Xiaoyong's promotion." Xiumei said.

x Wei Ruodao: "No matter how many levels Xiaoyong has been promoted, it is something to be happy about. Let's celebrate Xiaoyong."

Xiumei nodded heavily: "Yes! Everyone is happy!"

The master and servant had the same idea, cleaned up quickly, and went out.
