"The daughter of Lin Ruhai is intelligent, agile, and graceful. She is hereby conferred the title of An He County Lord.”Emperor Long Xing said.
"Master, isn't this too much? Just follow this servant's opinion.”Dai Quan said. One had to know that only the eldest daughter of the direct wife could be conferred the title of county lord.
"There's no need to say anything more. I want them to know that I'm not stingy with titles for my loyal subjects.”Emperor Long Xing said.
In Madam Wang's room in Rong Guo Manor," Madam's matter has failed.”Zhou Rui's family came in to reply.
"Have you sent the messenger away?”Madam Wang said with a vicious expression. She was completely different from her usual kind face.
"Madam, don't worry. Everything is in order.”
"That's good. I'm relieved. You can leave now." Madam Wang said with her eyes closed.
Yangzhou City, Lin Manor. Jia Xuan was being pulled along by Lin Ruhai to play chess. Lin Daiyu brought along the maids to serve him. Looking at Jia Xuan's dark face, she couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle. She knew that Third Brother was a terrible chess player. He couldn't even win against a little Xichun. Now, she was tortured to death by her father. It was really funny that he couldn't escape.
" Master, an angel has descended," Lin Fu came in and replied. Jia Xuan pushed the chessboard away and stood up." Then why don't you open the middle door and set up the incense table to receive the edict?"”
After Lin Fu left, Jia Xuan was mocked by Lin Ruhai. His face couldn't help but turn red. He thought to himself, You old fox, you just want to see me make a fool of myself.
"In accordance with the will of the heavens, the emperor has decreed that the daughter of Lin Ruhai is dignified, gentle, intelligent, and agile…I hereby confer her the title of An He County Lord!”After reading out the imperial edict, the internal supervisor cupped his hands and said," Congratulations, Lord Lin. Wansui is very fond of Lord Lin.”
"Eunuch Gong is too polite. Please come in and have some tea.”Lin Ruhai said politely.
"Lord Lin is too polite, then this one will have to trouble you." After saying that, he left with the Lin family's servants.
Lin Daiyu's mouth was wide open in surprise. How did she Cheng County head?
"Congratulations, County Head Lin.”Jia Xuan laughed from the side.
"Third Brother is not a good person. You, a great duke, are making fun of a little girl like me. Don't you feel ashamed?”Lin Daiyu blushed and glared at Jia Xuan.
"Hahaha!" Jia Xuan could not help but laugh out loud.
"Father!" Lin Daiyu was not as thick-skinned as this person, so she had no choice but to call for help.
"Yu 'Er, do you know how you obtained your title?”Lin Ruhai ignored her words and asked instead.
"Because third brother and father have made great contributions, father still has to stay in Yangzhou for a year or two to smoothly hand over the people of Wansui, so it's not good to reward him.”After thinking for a while, he said,"And Third Brother, he has just been knighted not long ago, so it's not convenient to reward him." However, she had to be rewarded to avoid chilling the hearts of the meritorious officials, so this reward was given to her daughter. Am I right?"
"Hahaha! My path is not alone!" Lin Ruhai laughed loudly, feeling proud of having such an intelligent daughter.
"Uncle, what did I say? Younger Sister is intelligent.”Jia Xuan laughed.
"What you said is not comprehensive, because Wan Shiyue will still put your third brother in an important position in the future. Also, I believe Wan Shiyue also knows about your marriage with your third brother, this is a favor to your third brother.”He took a sip of tea and continued," Even if you were to be conferred a title of nobility, it would just be the title of a village lord or county lord. Even a village lord wouldn't know how to do it. But he made you the county head. Isn't this a favor to your third brother?”
"Then Younger Sister thanks Third Older Brother.”After saying that, he even curtsied. However, that wrinkled little nose made Jia Xuan laugh in his heart. "You're too polite, sister. We're all family!"”
"Bah! Who's family with you!" As she spoke, she turned her head away with a red face and ignored Jia Xuan.
"Cough cough!" A clear cough interrupted the conversation between the two children. "Brother Xuan, when do you plan to set off?”Lin Ruhai asked. Since the matter had been resolved, Jia Xuan should return to the capital.
Hearing this, Lin Daiyu's face was filled with sorrow." Let Third Brother go back alone. I'll stay and accompany Father."”
"Silly words! If you stay in the capital, Father can be at ease doing business in Yangzhou. Now that you have Brother Xuan protecting you, Father is even more at ease. We can reunite in a year and a half.”Lin Ruhai advised.
"Your marriage is considered a bright path in front of Wansui. When you return to Rong Mansion, don't make a fuss. After all, you are still young.”Lin Ruhai continued," My brother-in-law and I have already discussed this matter. Our two families will keep it a secret for now. We'll settle it in Rong Mansion in a few years."”
Lin Ruhai was actually afraid that the old lady had originally wanted to pair the two Yu 'Er. Now that Daiyu had been conferred the title of county head, she was afraid that the old lady would stir up another storm once she found out about this. It was better to hide it for now. Everything would wait until he returned to the capital city.
When Lin Daiyu heard her father talk about her marriage, her face turned red. She stomped her feet and ran out.
Jinling, Zhen family." You bastard, how many times have I told you not to interfere in the salt business, but you didn't listen. Are you trying to push the Zhen family into the abyss?”The old lady of the Zhen family was furious. She jabbed her walking stick and cursed.
"Mother, please calm down.”Zhen Yingjia knelt in front of the hall.
"That Jia Clan brat is currently in the limelight and is in the limelight. If you go and find trouble with him, aren't you courting death? I won't stop you if you want to court death, but don't implicate the lives of hundreds of people in my Zhen family.”Old Mrs. Han continued," You think you're doing it secretly, but don't think others are stupid. Lin Ruhai had been in the salt administration for so many years, so he was not an ordinary person.”
"But mother, even if they have noticed, they have no evidence to do anything to me.”Zhen Yingjia was still unconvinced.
"Why did I give birth to such an idiot like you? Do you need evidence to take revenge on others? Today, you have long been dissatisfied with my Zhen family, but you don't know how to restrain yourself and even make enemies everywhere. You really don't know how to write the word death.”The old lady said angrily.
