The next day, the imperial decree came down.
Wang Tingxuan was conferred the title of Marquis of Anmin, and he was promoted to nobility for five generations without being demoted.
In one dynasty, Wang Tingxuan went from being a loyal follower of the king to a rising upstart in the capital.
Originally, Wang Tingxuan became a fourth-rank official at a young age, which was enough to attract people's attention. But he was the emperor's bodyguard, so others couldn't say anything about it.
Now, he suddenly became a superior marquis. That was a marquis, only one level lower than the Duke.
This is too lucky.
I thought it was bronze, but I won the favor of King Zhongshun and followed him to gain seniority.
As a result, he became a king and received a title.
This is the first title conferred by the emperor after he ascended the throne, apart from the royal family.
More importantly, his contribution is too special.
No matter who becomes emperor in the future, he must maintain enough respect for his family.
Among them, the one who regretted it the most was the Prince of Beijing County.
That time Feng Ziying was sent to invite Wang Tingxuan, but after being rejected, he didn't care. After all, he was just a fourth-grade bodyguard with no background, so what if he was a close aide of the emperor.
But who can know.
It was that little guard who got two titles by virtue of his merits.
Like others, Shui Rong believed that this credit had nothing to do with King Zhongshun. He just borrowed his Zhuangzi and got such a big credit for nothing.
It's simply taking by force.
It’s not like there are no other households in the capital without Zhuangzi. King Zhongshun’s farm is nothing at all. There are many other families that are better than his farm.
Why can he get this credit?
Is he the emperor's biological brother?
This is too biased.
It is so unfair for the emperor to do this!
Of course King Zhongshun knew that there were many people in the capital who were jealous of him, so what if they were jealous, he didn't care before, and he doesn't care anymore now.
"Tingxuan, how about I buy the yards of the houses around me and build a marquis mansion for you."
Wang Tingxuan looked at the families around him. They were all colleagues in the capital. It was a bit unethical to just let them move away.
"My lord, you don't have to do this. It's too much trouble."
King Zhongshun stopped him and said, "What's the trouble? There's no trouble at all. Except for Lin Ruhai's yard, I have already bought the two yards next to you."
Of those two houses, one was a third-rank official and the other was a third-rank official. Both of them were civil servants. Even if King Zhongshun had the ability, he would not have bought it so quickly.
"How did the prince get them to agree to sell the house?"
"I'm telling you, if it wasn't for fame, you can get it without spending a penny."
Regarding the sweet potato matter, King Zhongshun and Wang Tingxuan took the lion's share of the work, but they still had a lot of credit. Although they were not knighted, there was no problem in getting a few people promoted.
King Zhongshun used his contribution to promoting grain cultivation in various places in exchange for the two courtyards.
A more accurate statement is that the two officials took the initiative to use their uninhabited yard in exchange for the credit.
It seems that you can't find smart people anywhere.
Now that he got the yard, Wang Tingxuan didn't mind accepting it.
King Zhongshun asked: "How do you plan to build the Hou Mansion?"
Wang Tingxuan thought about it and realized that there was really no need to overhaul it.
As long as there is a sign of Hou Mansion hanging on the door, even if there is a thatched house inside, it is still a thatched house of Hou Mansion.
"Just tear down the yard wall and do some simple repairs."
King Zhongshun disagreed and said: "How can this be done? It does not comply with the regulations of the Marquis Mansion."
"I think this is good. Even if the house is so big, I can't live in it that much."
In the end, King Zhongshun accepted Wang Tingxuan's proposal, but he was a little unwilling.
"It would be great if I could buy Lin Ruhai's yard. His yard is the best match for your yard."
Wang Tingxuan was afraid that Prince Zhongshun would really go to Lin Ruhai to discuss it, so he quickly stopped him and said, "My lord, please don't do this. Mr. Lin is also an important minister of the imperial court. You will attract criticism if you do this."
"Forget it, just leave it alone. Maybe Lin Ruhai will give the house to you willingly."
You are too whimsical.
After all, this house can be regarded as Lin Ruhai's old residence. He didn't ask for your place, so why would he give up the yard?
Wang Tingxuan sent King Zhongshun away and met Lin Ruhai who was returning home at the door.
King Zhongshun asked directly: "Master Lin, do you have any intention of selling the yard to me?"
Lin Ruhai knew what King Zhongshun meant, but had no intention of selling the yard.
"Your Majesty, this courtyard is intended to be used as a dowry for my daughter. I will not sell it."
King Zhongshun smiled mysteriously and said, "Master Lin, if you don't sell it, you will really lose money in the future."
Neither Lin Ruhai nor Wang Tingxuan thought about the meaning of King Zhongshun's words.
Lin Ruhai couldn't help but look at Wang Tingxuan's yard at home, sighing in her heart.
Butler Lin came over with a post, and it was obviously another post from the Jia family.
Lin Ruhai asked: "Is this another post inviting Yu'er to stay?"
Butler Lin said: "No, this post is from several ladies from the Jia family who plan to come over to visit the lady."
The Jia family has clearly recognized the reality, but they still cannot bend down, especially to the Lin family.
In order to ease the relationship with the Lin family, Lin Ruhai and his daughter were invited many times, but Lin Ruhai rejected them all.
Not talking about what the Jia family did to the Lin family, can it be solved with an apology? Even if it is an apology, the person who made the mistake should be allowed to show sincerity.
The second room of the Jia Mansion didn't even have anyone to come forward, so they relied on Jia Lian and some servants to pass the news back and forth, thinking what the Lin family was.
This time, he was smart and actually sent out some of the little girls at home.
Lin Ruhai thought that the little daughters would not have much influence, so she said, "Give the post to Yu'er and see what she means."
Lin Daiyu took the post sent by her servant, read it again, and asked, "What does daddy mean?"
"The master said this was his daughter's business, so he didn't ask anything about it."
Lin Daiyu thought about the sisters in Jia's family, who were also poor people. If it weren't for the purpose of easing the relationship with the Lin family, she probably wouldn't be able to think of the three of them.
The feud between the Lin Jia family has nothing to do with them, and there is no need to argue with them.
Lin Daiyu wrote a post and invited the Yingchun sisters to come and sit at Lin's house.
Wang Xifeng took the Lin family's post and went to Jia Mu's yard with a smile on her face. She said, "Old lady, Sister Lin sent someone to deliver the post."
When I saw Wang Xifeng's look, I knew it was done.
The Jia family was forced to have no choice but to think of all the options and could only ask Sister Yingchun to come out for an interview.
"Girl Feng, please send someone to tell Tanchun sisters and ask them to prepare well. They will be guests at Lin's son-in-law's house tomorrow. In addition, you can ask Tanchun to come over when she is free. I have something to explain to her."
Among the three springs, only Tanchun's ability was slightly stronger. Jia Mu had no choice but to let her try to see if she could persuade Lin Daiyu.
Lin Ruhai has gone through a lot, and it is really difficult to get a breakthrough from him. If you want to restore the relationship between the two families, Lin Daiyu is the best breakthrough.
