dream of red mansion

So Jia's mother didn't ask any more questions. Even if she was a grandmother, she couldn't say anything more about the relationship between father and daughter.

Aunt Xue was equally shocked, but at the same time a little sad.Back then, the four major families in Jinling were so glorious and united, even in Dachu, they were extremely prominent families.

Up to now, although there is still the name of the four major families in the land of Jiangnan.But everyone knows that the four major families have long since lost the power they had in the early years of the founding of the country.Especially the Xue family knew that the Jia, Wang, and Shi families still had some prestige, but the Xue family was really in the dark.

The Jia family and the Shi family have hereditary titles as their base, and the Wang family has Prince Teng as their support, but the Xue family doesn't even have a single person to talk to.

As a big family, if there is no one who can take charge, once the generation is cut off, the shadow of the ancestors, no matter how great, will soon dissipate.On the contrary, even if the family declines, once there is a rising star, it is not difficult to glorify the ancestors.

The Lin family is an example.

Unfortunately, Lin Ruhai turned out to be short-lived.Although Daiyu, the orphan of the Lin family, is the emperor Jiaen, but after all, a woman is only a woman, and cannot extend the family foundation, and the title of female title can never be passed on.

As soon as Lin Ruhai left, the Lin family officially withdrew from the historical stage of the aristocratic family.

This is why the world attaches great importance to the issue of succession, and there is even a saying: there are three unfilial acts, and the worst is to have no descendants.

This is not without reason.

The Lin family is in decline, but how far is the Xue family from this step?

Thinking of those stupid things that Xue Pan did, Aunt Xue's face was full of sadness.

She forced herself to smile and congratulate Jia Mu. Aunt Xue wanted to leave, but Jia Mu refused to let her go and insisted on keeping her for dinner, and even ordered Wang Xifeng to go down to prepare the wedding banquet.For Daiyu to have received such a great reward, it wouldn't make much sense if the house was quiet and peaceful.

If it weren't for Lin Ruhai's critical illness, she would have made a big fuss!

Aunt Xue couldn't refuse, so she agreed.

"What happened to sister Lin?"

"What happened to sister Lin?"

It was Jia Baoyu and Shi Xiangyun who rushed over together.

Jia Mu laughed and said, "Your sister Lin has won a high official!"

Jia Baoyu frowned: "What high official does she want?"

Tanchun, who was there before, explained it to him.

Regardless of what Jia Baoyu thought, Shi Xiangyun said excitedly: "Really, so we will have to salute when we meet Sister Lin in the future?"

Tanchun and the others were taken aback for a moment, then looked at Jia Mu.

Mother Jia nodded.

Shi Xiangyun asked again: "Then sister Bao and sister Yingchun are also the same as us?"

Baochai laughed and said, "Of course we also have to salute." Seeing Jia Baoyu's expression was different, she said again, "Brother Bao is the same."

Shi Xiangyun immediately slammed his mouth and said, "In this way, sister Lin will become the biggest among us all of a sudden?"

Xichun hurriedly asked, "What about my brother?"

Tanchun smiled and teased Xichun, "Is there anything different about your brother?"

Xichun thought about it and said: "Didn't you say that my brother has made great achievements in the border and is going to be promoted again? He is already a first-ranker, and if he is promoted, he will not be as big as sister Lin?"

Xichun really doesn't understand the difference between the size of these official titles (titles) that don't have a clear rank.She knew that the first-class generals in Jia Qing were respected as first-rank, and if he was promoted again, he would definitely be a super-rank. Why couldn't he be better than Sister Lin?

Regarding this point, Tanchun and the others did not know how to explain it.

In fact, it doesn't make sense to judge the size of these things.

For example, a random concubine in the palace is more "noble" than the imperial edict in the world, because she is the king's woman.But in fact, apart from the royal concubine, the other side concubines and concubines are really nothing but "noble", and it is impossible to say that they will be given to some minister as a gift someday...

Therefore, whether honorable or not depends on the individual, not on any official position or title.

In terms of size alone, the county head has a higher status than the Duke.

Therefore, if it was a national ceremony, even Jia Mu would turn around and salute Daiyu.But obviously, Daiyu didn't dare to accept this ceremony, otherwise she would have to be impeached by the imperial censor.

However, women are no better than men, and they don't need power or power. What they compare with in their whole life is nobility.It can be said that with such an identity, at least, there is no other woman in the world who can match her.

Seeing the sisters discussing the order of size here, Mother Jia said: "In the future, if you are talking about the national ceremony outside, you all have to respect Daiyu, but when you talk about the family ceremony at home, you should still call her according to the original order. "

The county lord, after all, is not a princess or a princess. There are county kings and princes who are directly comparable in size.This is the reason why Lin Ruhai resigned from Emperor Zhengqing and made Daiyu Princess Zhaoren. If Daiyu was really named a princess, then Mother Jia would not dare to say this again. No matter who it is, the princess must be greeted when she comes.

In fact, the reason why Daiyu was made the head of the county was not in the original plan of Emperor Zhengqing.Yesterday, he had agreed to Lin Ruhai's request.

Originally, today I was just looking for an opportunity to meet Daiyu, and also to pave the way for the marriage in the future, so that this matter would be reasonable and avoid being abrupt and causing speculation.

Who would have thought that when I saw Daiyu today, I was immediately moved by Daiyu's fragility, beauty, and loveliness, and because of Lin Ruhai, I really felt a little love for her.So, on a temporary basis, she was named the county head, so that no one would dare to bully her and make her feel wronged.

Including Jia Qing.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

The Lin Mansion, which is not too far from Ningrong Street, is now heavily guarded.

In the mansion, Daiyu, who had already changed her attire, was holding a medicine bowl, serving Lin Ruhai to drink the medicine spoon by spoon.

Lin Ruhai drank the soup quietly, keeping his eyes on Daiyu for a moment, until Daiyu was embarrassed by the look, he didn't look directly at her face, turned to look at her clothes, and finally his eyes fell on her head. On the base silk phoenix hairpin.

"Is this also a gift from the palace?" Lin Ruhai asked.

"Well, it was given by the imperial concubine." Daiyu said softly.Until now, she still felt that what happened today was a bit beyond her imagination.

She is not Xichun, she clearly knows what it means to be named the head of Anning County.

Seeing her trance-like expression, Lin Ruhai knew what she was thinking, and said with a smile, "Don't think too much, this is all due to the mighty grace of the emperor. After I'm gone, you also have someone to rely on."

Lin Ruhai was grateful to Emperor Zhengqing for giving Daiyu an extra honorable status.

"Besides this outfit, what else did the palace give?"

"I also gave it to two court ladies and a small sedan chair..."

Daiyu whispered.

What she didn't say was that Emperor Zhengqing wanted to equip her with the guard of honor of the county lord, so she was so frightened that she quickly said that she was doing well at home, and that the house could not accommodate so many people, which dissuaded Emperor Zhengqing from thinking about it.In fact, Emperor Zhengqing just remembered Lin Ruhai's words, knowing that being too public is not a good thing for Daiyu, so he agreed to only show the two senior court ladies.

After all, the identity is different.

"That's good." Lin Ruhai nodded.The maids retreated to the left and right, and said again: "As for the important events in your life, being a father has already..."

"Father."
