In this era, when anyone is knighted, no matter how big or small, it is a matter worthy of publicity and celebration by those around them.
Wang Xifeng knew that this matter could not be hidden from anyone, so she never thought of hiding it. After returning to Rongguo Mansion, she told the story of this happy event in front of Jia Mu and others.
Jia Mu and others were greatly surprised, and then they were overjoyed.
Although the title given to Daiyu is only the lowest-level baroness, and it is not hereditary, which means it will not bring any other benefits to the family or others. However, because of its rarity and specialness, it is more valuable than a title awarded to a male family.
It's a delight to talk about.
After all, the titles of men's families are the mainstream, and there are many kinds of titles, but for women, there are only a few kinds. And they are almost covered by the noble ladies of the Tian family.
There are really very few people who can live among the people.
For the Lin family to be able to obtain one, it can be said that the ancestors are smoking.
No, the ancestors of the Lin family have been smoking for a long time. When the ancestors of the Lin family were granted the title of marquis, and when Daiyu and her father, Lin Ruhai, visited Hua Lang, they were exposed twice. This is the third time!
It's a pity that the Lin family has become extinct, and this glory and holy scroll have been wasted.
Aunt Xue smiled at Jia Mu and others and said: "I have lived for half my life, but this is the first time I have seen such a thing. When I was in Jinling City, I heard that the old lady of the Zhen family was a very noble person. She seemed to be just like this.
There is a title of nobility, and I heard that he is the head of the county.
Therefore, her family’s dignity and style are unmatched by other families.”
Even the female descendants of the Jia family, most of them are relatively unfamiliar with matters such as female titles. This is because in their impression, if a woman wants to obtain an extraordinary title, the only option is imperial edict, and the elders do not
I would take the initiative to talk about the Baroness because it is too far away.
At this time, I heard from Aunt Xue that the old lady of the Zhen family, an old relative of the Jia family, actually had a title, and she was also the county head! It sounded much higher than Daiyu's country lady, so she asked questions one after another.
Jia Mu looked cheerful at this time and smiled at Aunt Xue: "Don't say you are rare. Even though I have lived for more than seventy years, I have only seen a few cases. Each of them has a very prominent family background.
Or they are people who have great blessings themselves.
As for the old lady of the Zhen family, she was a celebrity in the country when she was young. She was the "Principal of Xiu'an County" personally designated by Taizu. At that time, her reputation in the capital was louder than that of ordinary princesses and princesses.
But after she got married, few people mentioned her title.
But her noble status was earned by her father with his life, and others cannot envy her."
Jia Mu recounted these past events in a casual tone. There was no hint of envy for the old lady of the Zhen family in her words.
On the contrary, before she got married, Jia's mother was the daughter of the founding prince of the country. After she got married, she became the most distinguished wife of the duke.
If we really want to talk about it, her status as the Duke's wife may not be lower than that of the other county head.
Besides, the old lady of the Zhen family was more prosperous than she was before she left the court, but the man she married was not as good as her.
Women, in the end, are not that important than men, sons, grandsons, and everything else.
Nowadays, she herself is the first-grade concubine, her eldest granddaughter is a noble concubine, and her eldest grandson is a noble prince.
What kind of scenery and glory is this?
On the other hand, the old lady of the Zhen family, since the death of Taizu, the scenery of the Zhen family has changed year by year. Now the situation of the Zhen family is entirely supported by her.
When she is buried, the Zhen family will no longer be able to compare with the Jia family.
Speaking of happiness, Jia Mu unexpectedly revealed the secrets of women's titles to everyone in the hall.
She didn't say it before because there was no need to say it. Now that her granddaughter has obtained one, of course she wants everyone to understand how hard it was for the Baroness.
When a person as distinguished as Jia Mu was taught in public, whether it was the maids, servants, master, grandmother, or even the Xue family's mother and daughter, they all listened attentively. After all, this kind of opportunity is rare.
After a lot of laughter and emotion, it was unclear how many people were happy and how many were envious. It was not until Wang Xifeng mentioned that Jia Lian was going to Jiangnan to serve the emperor that everyone shifted their focus.
Although I feel sad that Jia Lian has just returned home and has to travel far away again, fortunately, this is normal for Jia Lian, and the family does not have too many surprises.
On the other hand, Jia's mother was surprised and said: "Yu'er's father is dead. I also said that I was worried about letting Yu'er carry the coffin and return home alone. I was thinking about arranging who should follow. Now that Lian'er is going to Jiangnan, isn't it?
Can Yu'er go south with him?"
Wang Xifeng said with a smile: "That's not what the old lady said. We, Mr. Lian, have thought everything about Lin Yatou's affairs thoughtfully and appropriately. Why do we need our ancestors to worry about it?"
Jia Mu listened silently. Of course she could hear Wang Xifeng's joking intentions, and she could also guess that maybe this job was what Jia Lian had asked for himself.
On the other hand, others, such as Baochai and others, were a little surprised by Wang Xifeng's tone of voice.
Although Daiyu is Jia Lian's cousin, she is still a girl who has not left the court. Wang Xifeng's words are somewhat inappropriate.
Before they could figure it out, Jia Baoyu suddenly said loudly: "Since our ancestors are worried about Sister Lin, why not let me follow Sister Lin and help Uncle Lin return home together with her coffin."
Jia Baoyu didn't care what title Daiyu was awarded. He just heard that Daiyu was going to carry Lin Ruhai's coffin and return home, so he was very reluctant to leave. When he saw the opportunity, he prayed.
His words made everyone else laugh.
Mother Jia and Mrs. Wang immediately tried to persuade her with a straight face. Even before Daiyu was promised to Jia Lian, Mother Jia and Mrs. Wang would not have allowed Jia Baoyu to follow Daiyu south and suffer, let alone now.
Mrs. Wang wished that Daiyu could stay away from Jia Baoyu. And Jia Mu was also thinking about how to make the relationship between the two children, which she had deliberately cultivated, become calmer.
Jia's mother did not want Jia Lian to have a bad feeling towards Jia Baoyu because of her entanglement with Daiyu.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Jia Mu is still thinking that she will count on Jia Lian to take good care of Jia Baoyu in the future.
Jia Baoyu just wanted to fight for it, but in fact he had no plans, such as how to arrange the trip, how to deal with the Lin family when he arrived in Suzhou, etc. Therefore, after being coaxed and frightened by Jia Mu and others, he just
I can only give up in frustration.
After comforting Jia Baoyu, Jia's mother didn't want to talk about Jia Lian and Daiyu anymore. She turned her head and saw Baochai with smooth skin and plump appearance next to her.
’s child?”
"Back to the old lady, it is indeed her birthday."
Jia's mother smiled and said, "I feel that my home has become a little quieter these days, and I am looking for something to do to make things lively. By the way, how old is Bao Yatou after she gave birth?"
"Go back to the old lady, she's fifteen."
Hearing Aunt Xue's reply, Mother Jia looked at Baochai and nodded, "Well, that's right. Fifteen and haircut is a big day for her, so she can't be too content. I just like Baochai to be dignified and sensible.
, better than the three girls in our family.
If my concubine doesn't mind, let me help her organize Bao Ya's birthday. Then, how about we gather together and have a good time together? Don't worry, I won't let you pay for it. It's rare for me to love Bao Ya for once. All expenses will be spent.
, I’ll take the responsibility, hehehe.”
These days, because of Lin Ruhai's relationship, we don't even celebrate the Lantern Festival properly. Now that Lin Ruhai's first seven days are about to pass, it's time for the family to be lively and change the atmosphere.
Faced with Jia Mu's enthusiasm, Aunt Xue naturally declined to be polite. Seeing Jia Mu's insistence, she could not disobey, so she could only agree with Baochai.
Then Jia Mu asked Baochai what kind of theater she likes to watch and what kind of food she likes to eat so that she can have someone take care of it.
Baochai couldn't resist, thinking that Jia's mother was old and always liked to watch lively dramas and eat softer dishes, so she followed the instructions. After hearing this, Jia's mother was even more happy and immediately ordered Wang Xifeng to tell Baochai.
Wang Xifeng was once again "complained" about the preparations, saying that Jia Mu only promised her words and did the dirty work, but in the end it was not left to her to take care of it, which made the whole house laugh, so there is no need to say more.
