When he returned to Lin's house, he met Lin Youquan at the door. Jia Lian told him that the date for his journey south had been set and asked him to prepare the fortune ship and arrange the entourage to hold the coffin as soon as possible.
Lin Youquan naturally responded happily.
Lin Ruhai's wish is to return to her hometown. In addition, the Lin family does not have many relatives and friends in Beijing, so Jia Lian and others only prepared early in the morning for Lin Ruhai to stay in Beijing for the first seven days, and then let Daiyu return home with the coffin.
, and was finally buried peacefully in the Lin family’s ancestral grave in Suzhou.
"I dare to ask Mr. Hou, this is..."
Lin Youquan's eyes had long caught a glimpse of the... imperial edict held by Zhao'er in both hands behind Jia Lian?
Lin Youquan also had some knowledge and knew that Jia Lian was a popular figure in front of Emperor Ning Kang. It was not surprising that he got the emperor's order.
However, if it is for Jia Lian, Jia Lian has just come out of the palace and has already announced that he has received the edict. In this case, Jia Lian only needs to put the edict away, so why bother asking someone to present it? Is it just to show off?
Mr. Hou is obviously not such a person.
Could it be that the owner of this imperial edict is someone else?
Thinking of this, the housekeeper couldn't help but get excited.
After all, in the Lin family at this time, apart from Jia Lian, only their master is qualified to receive the imperial edict. Could it be that the emperor finally cared about his interests and wanted to grant him a posthumous title?
The emperor might be stingy with giving rewards to those who were extremely popular during their lifetime, but after death, if they really made great contributions to the court, the emperor would still not be stingy in giving them some extremely high honors.
For example, be given a "Wenzheng" title, or be entitled to enjoy the Ancestral Temple?
In short, no matter what it is, it is a great honor for the Lin family.
Jia Lian looked back, with a smile in his eyes, and said with a smile: "Uncle Quan will know if you follow me here."
After saying that, Jia Lian went directly to the mourning hall regardless of what Lin Youquan was thinking.
In the mourning hall, Wang Xifeng, Daiyu, and Lin Ruhai's two concubines were all kneeling in front of the mourning hall.
Lin Ruhai's two concubines were both given to Lin Ruhai by Daiyu's mother Jia Min when she was still alive. They are both honest and responsible people.
Perhaps all the tears she should have cried were gone. Perhaps because Wang Xifeng was by her side, Daiyu looked calmer at this time. She knelt obediently in front of the brazier and added paper money and other items into the brazier.
The little fairy's behavior of burning paper money is also elegant and aesthetic. She puts it in small piles and does not rush.
Until he caught a glimpse of Jia Lian coming in, his movements were a little unbalanced.
"You are back. What do you want the emperor to do?"
Wang Xifeng was a little concerned because she knew that Jia Lian had been called into the palace by the emperor, so she kept waiting at the Lin family.
Jia Lian gave her a calm look, then looked at Daiyu with a smile, pretending to be serious: "Lin Daiyu comes forward to listen to the order."
Everyone was surprised. Daiyu's eyes widened for a moment and she stared blankly at Jia Lian.
It wasn't until she saw Jia Lian walking in front of her and unfolding the imperial edict that she belatedly took two steps back, knelt down again, followed her only experience, bowed slightly to Jia Lian, and whispered: "Lin Daiyu, listen
Purpose……"
Although Daiyu's reaction was very cute, Jia Lian couldn't say much at this time, and read aloud: "I am a former convict, Tan Hua Lang, Lantai Ling Lin Hai, loyal to the country, dedicated to the public, and worthy of being an example for civil servants. After hearing about his death,
My heart is sad.
I heard that Daiyu, the daughter of Lin Hai, is gentle and quiet, a lady from a well-known family, and a role model for ladies in the world. She was granted the title of "Lin" by the Lord of the Township.
Appreciate this."
After Jia Lian finished reading the imperial edict, he smiled at Daiyu who looked blank and said: "Lin Xiangjun, you still haven't accepted the edict."
"The daughter of the people accepted the decree and thanked...the emperor..."
It's so pitiful that with Daiyu's personality, it's really hard for her to behave like this.
She even complained a little in her heart, what a big deal the "village king" was, why did brother Lian want to embarrass her in public and make her look embarrassed...
Daiyu herself felt that she had made a fool of herself, but others didn't think so at all.
Looking at Daiyu who received the imperial edict in a daze and didn't know what to do next, everyone looked at her with envy or joy.
The girl is a country gentleman? Although I don’t know what a country gentleman is, it sounds like an official.
Lin Youquan, who was kneeling outside, was the happiest. If he hadn't been worried about the wrong place, he would have wanted to stand up and dance to vent his inner excitement.
Master, have you seen that your only worry has become unnecessary.
It turned out that before Lin Ruhai died, although he did not regret promising Daiyu to Jia Lian, it was because Jia Lian was already the best choice for him at that time.
But he still couldn't help but be a little worried, everyone said that Jia Lian's wife Wang was a powerful person. Lin Ruhai couldn't help but worry that if Daiyu married in the future, she would be oppressed by Wang Xifeng.
Therefore, he was so pleased when he first heard Jia Lian say that when he made another meritorious service, he would find a way to obtain a royal status for Daiyu.
Because for a woman, having a royal status is equivalent to having a protective golden body.
With a distinguished status and Jia Lian's protection, Daiyu should be able to sit back and relax.
As someone who watched Lin Ruhai grow up, Lin Youquan knew everything about the Lin family. He originally thought that even if Jia Lian really did what he said, it would take many years to find an identity for Daiyu.
I hope. Who would have thought that just after the master died, the second master Lian would do it!
Yes, Lin Youquan felt that it was Jia Lian who did it.
Although the imperial edict stated that it was because of Lin Ruhai's meritorious service that the emperor bestowed favor on Daiyu.
However, Lin Ruhai's illness was so severe that it was difficult to treat. It was no longer just a day or two, but it lasted for half a year!
If the emperor really wanted to grant a favor to Lin Ruhai, why would he have gone so far? Why did he have to use the second master Lian, and why did the second master Lian go to the palace and get such a favor?
So the answer is very clear. This matter must have been planned carefully by Mr. Lian. Of course, the fact that Mr. Lian has devoted himself to the court for so many years is also an indispensable prerequisite.
Lin Youquan could think of this, and next to her, Sister Feng, who was rolling her eyes, could naturally think of it too.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! But she did not pay too much attention to this, because whether it was really as written in the imperial edict, the emperor was because of Lin Ruhai's kindness to his daughter, or because Jia Lian used some means to help Daiyu
The rewards you receive all point to one point...
As for Daiyu, she really had no choice but to win over her.
Because the former means that the emperor cares about his beloved ministers and orphans. With the emperor caring, no one dares to bully Daiyu, let alone her?
If it was the latter, it meant that Jia Lian's Holy Scroll had reached a level that she could not imagine. Since Jia Lian had such ability, she could only please and flatter him instead of going against him.
For such a husband, if they work together, both parties win, but if they divide, she is destined to lose alone.
She's not that stupid.
So the first person to react came to his senses, stood up, helped Daiyu up, and said with a smile: "Girl Lin, congratulations. Zizi, Lord Lin Xiang? I have only heard of it before, County Marquis, Township Marquis, Xiangjun is an official? Or is it?
What level of command is it?”
It's no wonder that Wang Xifeng is short-sighted and can't even figure out the meaning of Xiangjun. It's just because for women in the world, except for the clan, the only status they can obtain is to rely on their husbands and sons to obtain the title of wife.
Jia Lian saw that Daiyu and others were not very clear, so he smiled and said: "Xiang Jun, it is a title. As for the rank, it is fourth rank. Well, Sister Lin... From now on, you will be on the same rank as me.
oh."
"It's actually a title..."
Sister Feng finally showed a slightly amused expression and her eyes were dark. To Sister Feng, even if Daiyu got a royal decree, it was nothing, because Sister Feng herself was a first-class marquise. There is someone more noble than her in the world.
A woman, at least, cannot be of a higher grade than her.
Therefore, no matter what rank Xiangjun is, judging by his name, he is definitely not a rank one. He must be below her.
But it just wasn't a royal decree... Although it was only the fourth rank, it was not in the same system, which always made her feel like she couldn't control Daiyu anymore.
There is no way, Sister Feng is so controlling. Even if Daiyu's identity is not in the same system as hers, she will be disappointed...
Other girls and servants also came forward to congratulate Daiyu.
Faced with everyone's affection, Daiyu finally understood the meaning of this "noble status". She finally felt a little more solemn in her heart.
She herself doesn't care about fame. But she knows that others do.
If she were to marry an ordinary person, the young couple could just forget about it. But she was going to marry Lian's second brother, and she was also the second wife...a title that didn't sound very nice! So, with such an external status,
, it can just make up for her shortcomings and avoid criticism from villains!
As for what Jia Lian said was of the same rank as him... Daiyu couldn't help but roll her eyes at Jia Lian, knowing that Jia Lian was talking about her status as a military attache.
Second brother Lian is still so talkative. He is a first-grade marquis, and he comes to make fun of me, a fourth-grade Xiangjun... Xiangjun, Lin Xiangjun, I feel very good.
Thinking of this, Daiyu couldn't help but squeeze the hand that held the imperial edict for the first time. She felt a nervous and joyful emotion rising up, which made her feel a little ashamed. When did she become so worthless?
!
Jia Lian saw that Daiyu didn't like to be watched, so he said: "Your Majesty knows that my sister is hot and filial, so he is merciful and allows my sister not to go to the palace to express my gratitude. Therefore, sister Lin should take the imperial edict back and put it away before hanging around here."
If you look carefully, Sister Feng will steal everyone's attention. Look, her eyes are filled with jealousy."
"Go, go, what are you talking about?"
Sister Feng spat at Jia Lian dissatisfiedly. After all, he was a generous person, so she also smiled and asked Daiyu to go back to the house, saying that she would help take care of him outside and everything would be fine.
After seeing off Daiyu, Wang Xifeng found an opportunity to pull Jia Lian to a quiet place and ask about the reason.
"Girl Lin's favor, was it you who helped her get it? You are really capable. You can even help her get this status... But then again, you are so worried about me that you have to get her such a status.
Is it safe to be safe because of my identity?”
Sister Feng looked at Jia Lian with a half-smile, with unspeakable amusement in her eyes.
She was so outspoken that Jia Lian really believed that she had let go of her heart. Because based on his understanding of Sister Feng, if Sister Feng was really holding back her bad feelings, she would not show any of her emotions. She would only wait until the picture came out.
The day we met.
The more she inquired into the matter, the more magnanimous she became.
"You think highly of me. That's a rare status that even royal ladies can seek. How could I possibly get it?
Besides, in what name did I help Sister Lin get it?
Isn't it clearly stated in the imperial edict? It was because my uncle's loyalty to the emperor and patriotism made his majesty take pity on him, so he issued the edict.
It's you who are so suspicious! If I really didn't trust you, now that I have become successful, I would have divorced you, a trouble-loving woman, and married someone else."
One sentence made Wang Xifeng blush.
However, the couple has not been interacting with each other for more than a day or two, and they have understood each other's feelings.
Just as Jia Lian missed her, the more Jia Lian said this, the more it proved that Jia Lian would not want to divorce her. On the contrary, even the princess did not leverage her status.
No matter how good Lin Yatou is, she can't be more powerful than the princess, right?
This is one of the reasons why she can choose to accept Daiyu.
I have already recognized Jia Lian's words in my heart. No matter how powerful Jia Lian is, he will never be able to dominate the emperor.
After admiring Daiyu for having a good father, she ignored this incident and pinched Jia Lian's arm. Sister Feng pretended to be angry and said: "It's too late for you to regret it now. The Queen Mother gave you a marriage in the first place.
What a great opportunity to divorce me, but you didn't seize it.
Now if you want to go back to the Queen Mother and try to climb a high branch, I'm afraid the Queen Mother won't pay attention to you."
Wang Xifeng looked very proud of herself. Although the incident last year was a bit embarrassing, it was still something she could be proud of throughout her life.
In this world, all wealth, fame and fortune, right and wrong, are all empty to women. Only the love of a husband is the envy of thousands of women.
I would like to ask, how many men in the world can face the forced marriage of the Queen Mother and the Princess and refuse to divorce their wives and marry another?
Just look at Chen Shimei in the drama and you will know.
Sister Feng is a radiant beauty, Jia Lian has long confirmed this. It is a different kind of style to smile and flirt with him at this moment.
Seeing that she still dared to pinch him, Jia Lian was naturally not polite and slapped her plump buttocks. With a soft "pop" sound and a soft and soft counterattack, Jia Lian felt a little shocked and a little bit...
The meaning of crispy and refreshing.
Especially when he saw Sister Feng's eyes suddenly turning blank, with unspeakable resentment in her eyes, Jia Lian couldn't help coughing twice, and after glancing at Ping'er and Xiangling who were also blushing next to him, he came closer.
Sister Feng lowered her voice in her ear and said, "I know you want it. Now I'll wait. I'll take care of you after I get back home."
"Death sign." Some Sister Feng, who was used to Jia Lian's rogue behavior, kicked Jia Lian to show dissatisfaction.
