Chapter XXVIII
Lin Qingwan asked people to prepare the incense case, and then the family of three drank tea and played chess, while waiting for Shang Mingyuan to pick people up.
The news of Qin's arrival had not yet spread, and when Steward Zhao came back, he didn't pay attention to Shang Mingyuan and his little servant, but just took the braised meat bought from outside to chat with the people in the house, and secretly inquired about how much money was piled up in Wutong Garden, and when would the money be sent away......
The subordinates talked to him, all kinds of speculations, but they just couldn't get to the point, when they arrived at Shen, there was a commotion at the gate, and Steward Zhao only heard the sound of running, and couldn't help but look over curiously.
Before Lu Zhen and the others arrived at the entrance of the street, there were already family members who hurried back to report the news, "Master, eldest lady, the Qincha have already entered the street." ”
Lin Qingwan put down the teacup and said, "Let people carry the incense case out, and restrain the people." ”
The waiting steward answered, and hurriedly went to prepare.
Lin Qingwan and Lin Yubin are both dressed up, but Lin Jiang is dressed up at home. She didn't want him to toss and change into his official uniform.
Now is the hottest time, no matter which set of official uniforms can toss people half to death.
"You're sick, the angels will understand."
Lin Jiang glanced at Lin Qingwan, knowing that she was gaining an inch, and she was also showing the harmlessness and weakness of the Lin family.
Lin Jiang didn't insist, and let her arrange it.
The Praetorian Guards were arranged to march into the military station, while Lu Zhen led a group of messengers given to him by the emperor to ride to the Lin Mansion.
Liu Pei and Sun Huai both followed on the left and right, and Shang Mingyuan took half a step in front and invited everyone in as a master.
Lin Qingwan and Lin Yubin helped Lin Jiang to stand inside the gate one left and one right, Lu Zhen saw Lin Jiang with a pale face and sweating on his forehead, and he couldn't help but pause, and then stepped forward quickly, "Since you are sick, why don't you wait in the house." ”
Lin Jiang smiled lightly: "When the angel arrives, it's rude not to go out of the city to greet him, where do you dare to sit and wait?" ”
Lu Zhen frowned, "It's all sick like this, why bother talking about these false courtesies again?" ”
Lin Jiang only smiled faintly, and Lin Qingwan said, "It's hot, so you adults should go into the house first." ”
After that, he helped Lin Jiang to stand sideways and asked Lu Zhen to go first.
Lu Zhen's grade is the same as Lin Jiang, but in terms of power, he is not as good as Lin Jiang, not to mention that the other party is the master, so he naturally won't go first, so he also turned sideways slightly and followed Lin Jiang inside.
Lin Qingwan invited someone into the flower hall to drink tea, and the official of the Ministry of Rites who followed behind said: "Lord Lin, Your Majesty has a will, you see ......."
Lin Jiang looked at Lin Qingwan, and Lin Qingwan smiled and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, let's have a cup of tea in the first room, and we will take the order when the summer weather is over." ”
The entourage was surprised, even Lu Zhen couldn't help but glance at Lin Qingwan, but Liu Pei and the others were used to it, as deputies, they had been in and out of the Lin Mansion recently, and they had long been surprised by these things.
The Lin Mansion is indeed the eldest lady's head now.
Although Lin Qingwan was the one who was surprised to accept the order, the Qincha did not object, in such weather, they had been on the road for most of the day, and it would be good to have a cup of tea.
After drinking the tea, everyone followed the Lin family of three to the main hall to announce the decree, and the Lin clan, except for Lin Yong, who was still lying on the bed, also came, and knelt behind Lin Jiang.
The first half of the emperor's decree is very long, and the first half is to review the merits of the Lin family in Sheji and Lin Jiang's achievements over the years, expressing the emperor's love and admiration for Lin Jiang, and giving him the title of a country's master.
The second half is to express gratitude and reward for Lin Jiang's donation of property, and the content of the reward is to seal Lin Qingwan as the county lord and Lin Yubin as the county lord, and each get a number of Suzhou Juetian and a number of Jingcheng Juetian.
And the official office of Yangzhou will be changed to the county lord's mansion to be rewarded to Lin Yubin, and Lin Qingwan's county lord's mansion will be set up in the capital.
After announcing this will and stunned the kneeling Lin clan, the official of the Ministry of Rites took out a yellow letter from his arms and said with a smile: "Lord Lin, there is also a handwritten letter from His Majesty, and the lower officials will read it out together." ”
Lin Jiang bowed his head, turned around and handed over the holy decree he had just received to Lin Qingwan, and then stood and listened to him read it.
Lin Qingwan and Lin Yubin didn't kneel down anymore, supporting the weak Lin Jiang on the left and right.
Lin Qingwan saw that everyone was surprised, and her eyes couldn't help flashing a glimmer, although the monarchy in this era has been strengthened to a certain extent, it has not yet reached the level of the Ming and Qing dynasties in the previous life.
Therefore, the monarchs and ministers at this time were different from the masters and servants of the Qing Dynasty, and were more inclined to cooperative relations.
There are also many kinds of holy decrees, such as the one just read is the highest level, not only the ministers must kneel, but also prepare incense tables.
And like the holy fold that is taken out now is the second level, and it is also a holy decree, which is stronger than the oracle, but its solemnity is greatly reduced.
The content of this holy fold is very simple, that is, let Lin Qingwan set up a female household, and order Suzhou Assassin Shi to complete the relevant matters as much as possible.
Lin Liu glanced at Lin Jiang, and finally sighed slightly, Lin Jiang didn't trust the Lin clan, otherwise how could he set up a female household through the emperor?
Lin Qingwan is a returned daughter, and after Lin Jiang's death, it was a sure thing that she would be the head of the long house, and they still acquiesced.
But Lin Jiang still asked the emperor to agree to Lin Qingwan to set up a female household, but to prevent the Lin clan from passing on the heirs to his name after his death.
Lin Liu shook his head and left a little sadly, and he was in no mood to greet the Qincha.
Lin Ba secretly gritted his teeth, but still smiled and stepped forward to greet Lu Zhen and the others.
Lin Qingwan and Lin Jiang glanced at each other, and they were a little surprised in their hearts.
They didn't ask the Emperor for this will, so it was a surprise?
Of course, what was even more unexpected was the emperor's generosity, and he directly asked the queen to accept Lin Qingwan as a righteous daughter and named her the county lord, and Lin Yubin also became the county lord.
You must know that there is only one princess and one county lord in Daliang. That county lord is the same as Lin Qingwan, who is canonized with a foreign surname.
Because Daliang is still young, the founding Taizu has a brother, but the other party died in battle before he married, and the first emperor is the only seedling, so there is no prince, but now there are two brothers, and the other party also has children, but it is a pity that the first emperor destroyed to make amends to the Lin family, so naturally there is no county lord, county lord.
Therefore, the gold content of Lin Qingwan and Lin Yubin's county lord and county lord is still quite high, at least in this way, there is no one in Jiangnan whose title is above Lin Qingwan.
The sense of security brought by this kind of identity guarantee is the most straightforward, and Lin Jiang couldn't help but redden.
Then there is sadness and remorse.
After seeing the "first life" of the peep mirror, Lin Jiang adjusted the distribution of property, and in the "third life", he was even more disheartened and threw his property to the imperial court, but he did not exchange Yubin for a county lord.
Maybe Yubin may not be able to escape the fate of the curse if he becomes the county lord, but there are more chips, and I hope that it will always be bigger.
Lin Jiang was in a trance, what was the difference between Lin Qingwan's way of dealing with it and his?
Yes, he didn't cry to the emperor, he just said that he would give all his family property to the court, but Yubin still lives a life of fine clothes and food, who knows if he still left good things for her?
He didn't sell the property, only sent the money and silk cloth, but stuffed it all in one go.
Those industries should have been handed over to the imperial court to take care of, but they may have been divided up by the various ethnic groups in Jiangnan before they were reported to the emperor.
There are also those grains, gold and silver, silk cloth, etc., he was seriously ill and low in energy at the time in the peeping mirror, and Jiangnan was quite contradictory because of military taxes, so he was simply exhausted, and he didn't have much energy to arrange these at all?
But now it's different, these are all done by Lin Qingwan, except for the fact that he needs to bother with some work on official affairs, he doesn't have to do anything at all.
And with Lin Qingwan, his panicked worries have slowly disappeared, and he has become much more organized.
Lin Jiang looked at Lin Qingwan, so his decision was correct, now that the situation is improving, Yubin will be able to avoid that catastrophe in the future, right?
Everyone saw that Lin Jiang was in a trance after receiving the holy decree, and looked at his sister with tears in his eyes, and everyone couldn't help but sigh.
Originally, he thought that he was a ritual official who spent money to buy a knight, and he couldn't help sighing, but he felt sorry for Lord Lin's heart of being a brother and a father.
When they saw the money in the entire courtyard of Wutong Garden, everyone was in a trance, and the Lin family really emptied their families.
Compared to the list on the fold, the impact of facing the money is obviously greater.
In order to make the accounts clear, Lin Qingwan also wrote the origin of the money clearly, and asked people to transcribe it into four copies, one for the Lin family to keep, one for the Yangzhou Assassin Mansion for safekeeping, one for the household department, and one for the emperor.
Therefore, it is best not to send back the money to be lost too much, otherwise the evidence will not be too sufficient.
