Chapter 027 received the holy decree Daiyu sealed the county king

The emperor looked at the young man under him for a long time, "What grace do you want to ask for?" ”

Lin Jue seemed to think for a moment, and said: "The student wants to ask for the title of county monarch for his sister. ”

When the emperor heard this, he smiled and said: "Everyone else is looking at me as a feudal official, and now I have given you a third-grade viscount title, benefiting you for three generations of the Lin Mansion, but you have not accepted it, and instead asked me for a county monarch who cannot be hereditary?" ”

Lin Jue bowed his head again and said sincerely: "The student knows that His Majesty is rewarding the title of minister, but he is under the shadow of his father. The father was loyal to His Majesty, and His Majesty also rewarded his father with the nickname 'Zhongzheng', which is an affirmation of his father. If you don't humble yourself, it's a title, and your father deserves it. It's just that the student is still just a person, and he hasn't done much in the country and at home, so he is really ashamed to receive His Majesty's reward. And the good child does not eat the family meal, the words are not rough, the student is not boasting, it is a knighthood, and the student will earn it by himself. ”

Lin Jue, a half-grown teenager, was able to say this, and His Majesty the Emperor was very relieved to hear it. Lin Ruhai is the emperor's confidant, who has been operating in Yangzhou for more than ten years, and has always looked forward to the emperor. Although he has not returned to Beijing in these years, the emperor still remembers how beautiful it was when Tanhualang played horses and paraded the streets, and how high-spirited he was when he talked about his ambitions and ideals. Looking at the young man who was talking carefully, the emperor couldn't help but lose his eyes for a while.

After a while, the emperor said: "Your father was the same back then, your Lin family's title was passed to your father's generation, your father was promoted to the imperial examination, and he said back then, how can a good man rely on the shadow of his ancestors, it is the title, and he earns it." What arrogance and self-control, I am also impressed by it. You, like your father, are good. Then, according to Lin Jue's intentions, he took back the holy decree issued to Lin Jue, and instead gave Lin Daiyu as the county lord.

Lin Jue received the decree and thanked him, and the eunuchs in his own palace went to the Lin Mansion to re-announce the decree, and Lin Jue was left by the emperor to speak.

Because of Lin Jue's words, the emperor recalled that when Lin Ruhai was exploring flowers, he had just ascended the throne, suppressed by the emperor, had adult brothers jumping happily, and a group of powerful ministers were coerced, obviously sitting in the supreme position in the world, but he was very aggrieved. At that time, the monarch and the minister were at the same table, but in just a few words, there was a monarch and the minister in the next ten years. Lin Ruhai is willing to guard the salt bags in Yangzhou for him in Jiangnan, and he has been guarding it for more than ten years, and a lot of information is transmitted back by Lin Ruhai, he can sit firmly in this position, Lin Ruhai can be said to have contributed a lot.

The emperor knows how loyal Lin Ruhai is, but after sitting in this position for a long time, it is inevitable that he will be more suspicious, so when Lin Jue entered Beijing with a secret fold, the emperor watched coldly, and waited until he found Chen Yejun's way to hand over the fold, and the emperor believed that Lin Ruhai was not a traitor.

Lin Ruhai died in office, and it was not an exaggeration to get a nickname, but the emperor kept it and did not send it, so he was waiting for this secret fold. Now that the excerpt has been handed over, the emperor not only gave Lin Ruhai a nickname, but also kept it in his heart with the jokes of his youth, a title that will not be hereditary, and the emperor does not hesitate to reward a dead man with this dignity. Let Lin Jue demote his father to the throne, it was also the emperor's whim.

Now that Lin Jue is so upright and not greedy for power, he has entered the eyes of the emperor, and the emperor will not be stingy to give the daughter of the Lin family an honor.

"I heard that you and Little Twelve are quite close, what do you do on weekdays?"

Lin Jue's heart suddenly broke out when he heard this, and he paused and smiled: "I'm not afraid of His Majesty's jokes, and there is nothing serious about it." The student and the Twelve Princes had a relationship when they were in Yangzhou, and when they entered Beijing, they met once in the suburbs on the day of the Double Ninth Festival, so they became acquainted with each other, and often went to the Twelve Princes to drink a few days ago. ”

"At your young age, you can drink?"

"The students boast that they still have a bit of alcohol." Lin Jue was already young, although he was calm and generous in his gestures, but this time when he entered the palace, he looked like a childish child, and his words were also real, and he said whatever he wanted.

The emperor asked some things again, and Lin Jue was sometimes confused and sometimes cunning, which provoked the emperor to praise him every time, and he actually chatted for more than an hour. The father-in-law in charge secretly reminded the emperor that there were still a few people waiting for the emperor to summon him, and the emperor stopped talking, "This is the New Year, I won't keep you, go home and study carefully, and wait for the autumn in two years, I will wait for you to be named on the gold list." ”

Lin Jue hurriedly got up and bowed, "The student will live up to His Majesty's expectations, bow to His Majesty, long live long live, long live, long live ”

The emperor nodded with satisfaction, although he was also a little childlike and smart, he was very naïve in temperament, and under the influence of Lin Ruhai, he was very loyal to the monarch, and he was □□ more, and he was a powerful arm.

The emperor smiled to himself, this kid is very well-behaved, and when Lin Jue withdrew, he called the father-in-law in charge to summon the next person.

When Lin Jue returned home, it was already past noon, and there was no food left in the palace, Lin Jue knew that it would inevitably be a lot of chaos when he went home to the house at this time, so he directly led the little maid to use it simply.

When he returned home, he went directly to Daiyu's yard, but Daiyu was not as happy as he thought. Lin Jueping retired from the servants who were waiting, and said with a smile: "Congratulations to my sister for being crowned the county king, now I look at it, I am several times stronger than me, a person who has no official and no lord, and I have to worry about the county monarch in the future." ”

Hearing Lin Jue's ridicule, Daiyu only sat silently, and suddenly a big teardrop welled up in her eyes, Lin Jue was startled, and hurriedly asked what was going on?

Daiyu only cried, and after Lin Jue coaxed for a long time, Fang stopped sobbing and complained: "I'm a boudoir woman, what do you want the county gentleman of Nalaoshzi to do, you can't drink or eat." It's my brother, who originally had the title of viscount, not to mention passing it on to my nephew in the future, that is, my brother will one day become an official in the court, and it will be somewhat helpful, how to give it to me. Every time I think about it, I feel sorry for my brother. ”

Lin Jue smiled when he heard this, he understood what Daiyu meant, but he also understood that although the emperor rewarded him with the title of a viscount, it was actually useless. And if he has a knighthood, unless the emperor rises up and rewards him for being an official, he can only be like Jia Yu, doing nothing all day long, even if he is promoted to the imperial examination, he will not be able to do it.

Lin Jue doesn't feel that there is anything valuable about a title, and the royal family has not been knighted for several years, he is immoral and incompetent, and he was suddenly made a viscount, although it can be said that Lin Ruhai is in the shade, it is very unreasonable. No matter how great Lin Ruhai's credit is, in the end, it is not the work of sealing the territory and expanding the territory, or the reward is limited, and a nickname "Zhongzheng" is enough. If you want to reward more, you can get the last rank of a countryman at most, how can you get a third-grade viscount, it's really unreasonable.

Lin Jue has heard a little about the current situation in Beijing, the three princes are the descendants of the lineage, the mother of the first queen, and the old ministers who support the lineage, all support the three princes. And the twelfth prince Li Yibai, because his biological mother was from a humble background, and he passed away when he was young, the first queen took pity on him for losing his mother at a young age, so he held people in his palace and raised them with the three princes. Since he was a child, Li Yibai has been labeled as the first prince of the three princes.

In addition to the three princes who have always been low-key, they are now high-spirited, but they are Li Yiyun, the sixth prince of the sixth prince who succeeded the queen Chen.

Because the first queen went early, the first queen fell silent, and the mother family of the queen Chen is now powerful. Uncle Chen Laoguo is a veteran, he is old, and he has not entered the court for a long time, but his physique is excellent, and he has great influence in the court, and even the emperor has to give up one or two.

However, Chen Lin's old son, Chen Yejun, has never been close to the Chen family, but faintly revealed that he was only loyal to the emperor. The emperor does trust him, he can be regarded as a stake of the emperor buried in the sons of the family, and everyone knows his identity.

Then there is Li Yiqing, the fourth prince of Concubine Hui, the biggest ability of this son is that he can give birth, and there are as many as eleven children in all the concubines, including five sons and six daughters, and the concubine still has a big belly. Many sons are many blessings, but it can also be regarded as a strong point of competition.

Now that he is close to the twelve princes, although he is not a person who is not in the same vein as the three princes, he also faintly has some labels on his body, he can't say it's good, but he can't say it's completely bad. The emperor gave himself such a title, I think it was a little intentional, but I didn't accept it, and the emperor was not angry, it seems that his side is just a small section, but I don't know who the emperor wanted to use himself to fish.

Lin Jue didn't want to be the rafter that came out, so it was better to let someone else do such an eye-catching thing as a knight. However, the benefits can't be taken up at all, which is really not in line with Lin Jue's character, so he took this opportunity to ask for a title for Daiyu.

It's just that these are not good to say to Dai Yuming, Lin Jue had no choice but to say: "I thought it was something that made my sister so sad, but it turned out to be this matter." You feel sorry for my brother, and you should know that I feel sorry for your sister.

Although the title of such a county monarch is nothing, and the size is also a six-grade, even if you don't have real power, it is also the basis for your husband's family to rely on in the future. This society is always harsh on women, if I were a woman, I would not want my husband to have three wives and four concubines in the future, and I must be satisfied with one of them.

Our family is really not visible in Beijing now, to be honest, my grandfather's family can't be counted on, so it's better for you to have some identity for your husband's family to value. ”

Daiyu's face flushed when she heard this, "Brother said this again, these are still early, even if you really want to get married, it should be your brother who gets married first." If my brother has this title, I don't know how many girls from other families are vying to marry into our family, and my brother will make fun of me. ”

Lin Jue knew that Daiyu felt that she had suffered a big loss, "I also have my own thoughts, I have been enlightened since I was five years old, and now I have been studying for ten years. People like us are knighted, and those who have no door and no way can not think of getting anything bad. It is better to concentrate on the scientific examination, and at that time, the title of the gold list and the title of the marquis are not better than this title alone. ”

Daiyu wiped her tears when she heard this, "Why didn't my brother tell me about this plan earlier, which made me worry for so long." I don't know much about this outside thing, but I heard my father talk about it in the past, but it also passed in a flash, and now it is unrecognizable. Now that my brother has a plan, I won't say much more, but I still feel a pity in my heart. ”

Lin Jue smiled, "What's a pity, it's just a false name outside the body." It's such a big thing today, I'm afraid it will spread all over Beijing in two days, let's not wait for my grandmother to send someone to ask, I handed over the post in the evening, tomorrow you and I will go to Jiafu to talk together, it can be regarded as having an explanation with my grandmother, and my grandmother will be happy to hear it. ”

Daiyu said: "It's still my brother's thoughtfulness." ”

Lin Jue went to arrange it and didn't mention it.

Early the next morning, Jiafu sent a reply, and Lin Jue gave a copy of Daiyu. Lin Jue smiled and pointed to his post and said: "This is the old man who asked me to discuss things, let's take the car together later, I won't accompany you to my grandmother's place, you invited An on my behalf." ”

Daiyu smiled in response.

When they arrived at Jia's mansion, the brother and sister entered through the main entrance, Daiyu changed into a small sedan chair carried by the rough envoy's mother-in-law, and Lin Jue was led by his subordinates and went directly to Jia Zheng's study.

Daiyu took the initiative to hand over the post to Jia's mansion to walk around, and Jia's mother was no longer unhappy, so she instructed the kitchen to prepare Daiyu's favorite food early in the morning and prepare to keep Daiyu for dinner.

Daiyu saw Jia's mother, and she paid a visit, because it was not yet out of the first month, Daiyu worshiped a circle of years, and she received several rewards from the elderly.

Daiyu said with a smile: "It was originally from the Great New Year, and I have filial piety on my body, so it's not easy to go out, but there is a good thing, and I want to talk to the old lady." In a few days, I think it will come out in Beijing, but the old lady is not as good here as elsewhere, and it is better for our brothers and sisters to come and talk about it in person. ”

Mother Jia hurriedly asked what was the matter.

Daiyu told Jia Mu how Lin Ruhai was rewarded and how he demoted the title to Lin Jue to inherit it, but Lin Jue used the title to exchange the title of a county monarch for himself, and told Jia's mother one by one.

After hearing this, Jia's mother couldn't help but be surprised in her heart, in the end, it was her granddaughter who got the benefits, although she felt that Lin Jue's move was a bit stupid, but she didn't say much, and only praised Lin Jue for being sensible.

Daiyu lowered her eyes and covered her lips, her grandmother treated her heart well, but she was unwilling to give even a little bit of this love to her brother, so there was always a little worry in people's hearts.

Jia's mother praised this in every way, although Daiyu's title was not as good as Yuanchun's, but Yuanchun was only promoted to the emperor's preference, Jia's mother knew that whether it was the previous dynasty or the harem, the Jia family could not give Yuanchun any actual support. Although Daiyu's title is low, it is the emperor's real decree, as long as Daiyu does not participate in any conspiracy, this title cannot be taken lightly. When I think about it this way, I really can't say which is better or worse.

Mrs. Xing herself is childless and daughterless, although she sighed in her heart that Daiyu didn't know what shit luck she had, when she lived in Jia's house in the past, she didn't realize how much better she was than others, and she was so silently sealed as a county lord. However, she herself is a fateful person, so she only secretly slandered two sentences in her heart, but she flattered a few words generously on her face.

Mrs. Wang was the mother of the imperial concubine, and Yuan Chun's grade was not much higher than Daiyu, so she just muttered a few words in her heart, and did not express too much jealousy.

The most complicated situation in this center is probably Mrs. Xue and Xue Baochai.

Xue Baochai was originally to be selected in Beijing, and he was a good person when he was at home, and the boundary of Jinling was originally a drunken gold fan, that is, a young lady, and there were few people who did not understand the career economy. Her family is a royal businessman, so she went out, and she is used to being sought after. Now in Beijing, at the foot of the Son of Heaven, although it is not as prosperous as Jinling, it has its own atmosphere of the Son of Heaven, and Xue Baochai is in it, and he has strengthened his ambition more and more.

She was originally going to enter the palace, but she was just a prince like the Jia family, and after Yuanchun entered the palace, she still had to start as a female official, saying that she was a female official, but in fact she was only better than the little girl who was waiting for someone to serve tea and pour water. Every time I heard Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue crying, Baochai's heart when she entered the palace would be a little lighter. There are hints from Mrs. Wang from time to time, Baochai is more and more reluctant to enter the palace, Baoyu's warmth and pettiness fascinate her, and the position of Bao's second grandmother also makes her excited.

So he flattered Mrs. Jia and Mrs. Wang more and more, and even used some means to lure Baoyu to her side from time to time.

Xue Baochai heard Daiyu's name as early as when he entered Beijing, and Daiyu in his mouth was self-inflicted with a small family spirit, despite this, the three sisters of Yingchun got along very well with Daiyu, and even Xiangyun outside screamed at Sister Lin, not to mention Baoyu, who kept people on her lips and remembered them in her heart every day.

Therefore, although he has not seen him, he is already the first to hear his name, and he secretly has a heart of comparison in his heart. When she saw the real person, the bearing of her body, and the demeanor of the daughter of the second-class master, really made Baochai feel a little inferior, but it also made her pay more and more attention to this person.

is also lost, she also has an older brother, she still has one more mother than Daiyu, and now Daiyu has easily obtained what she has worked so hard to get, how can she not hate it in her heart?

Then there is Aunt Xue. Aunt Xue is not a scheming person, because she is married to the Xue family, Father Xue has always treated her like a jewel, and she does not have much to do with the private affairs of the back house. Although he raised a scheming daughter like Baochai, he also raised Xue Pan, who was like a stupid big man.

She originally had the heart to marry Daiyu for Xue Pan, but found that Jia's mother also intended to make up a pair of little children in Baoyu Daiyu, and it was nothing for a family of women to ask for Yuan, but it was too clear what kind of character Pan'er was in the Jia family, that is, Jia's mother didn't think about matching Baodai, but how she was willing to let Daiyu marry into the Xue family.

Now that Daiyu is getting more and more breathing, she has also been named the county lord, and she knows that although her Xue family is rich, Xue's father is a white body, how can she ask for a decree. This is a relative's house, if it is outside, Daiyu is an outsider, she will have to salute Daiyu. It's embarrassing to think about.

Look at her daughter who was blinded, when it comes to color talent, Baochai is not lost to Daiyu at all, and the difference is in her background. Aunt Xue never hated her parents more than she did now, why did she marry into the business, but her sister-in-law could marry into the Houmen, otherwise her daughter would be inferior.

Aunt Xue remembered what her sister had mentioned to her the day before yesterday, and pursed her lips, her life is already limited, if she is a daughter......

Everyone in the room had their own thoughts, and Daiyu looked at it coldly, and didn't say much.
