Jia Rong, the smiling tiger of the Red Chamber

Qianqing Palace

Emperor Qianyuan was approving the papers, when he heard the eunuch next to him report that there was an urgent memorial from Jinling.

The affairs of Jinling Zhen's family are over, why is there an urgent memorial?Could it be that something happened?Thinking of this, Emperor Qianyuan immediately put down the booklet in his hand, and said eagerly in his voice, "Present it."

The inner supervisor responded and immediately submitted it.

Emperor Qianyuan couldn't help laughing after flipping through the booklet. Of course, he didn't smile sincerely, but because he was angry.This Jia Rong, what do you think this urgent memorial is for?Is it specially used to show him these trivial matters, small matters of family length?

But when he lowered his head and saw Lin Ruhai's name, Emperor Qianyuan also sighed in his heart.Lin Ruhai used to be Emperor Longqi's confidant, and he was the only one who was re-elected as the inspector of the salt censor. During his tenure, although the salt administration in Yangzhou was still somewhat deficient, it was much better than before.In addition, when he died, he donated most of his family property to the national treasury, and he didn't ask too much, he just asked to take care of his daughter a little more.

Thinking of Emperor Longqi's death, he also mentioned Lin Ruhai.

That being the case, it might as well be accurate to what Jia Rong wrote in the notebook.

It's just a daughter, and Lin Ruhai didn't leave a son behind, so what if she raises her for a lifetime?The sum of money that Lin Ruhai donated to the national treasury was enough to support his daughter for three lifetimes.

Such a large sum of money is enough to exchange for the title of a county.

Thinking about it like this, Emperor Qianyuan also figured it out.He quickly raised his head and said to the inner supervisor: "Prepare pen, ink, paper and inkstone."

The inner eunuch immediately agreed with a nod, and decided not to mention it in the past.

After ordering this, Emperor Qianyuan's eyes fell on the words of Rongguo Mansion again.Can't help shaking his head, this Rongguo Mansion is really worse than the next generation.I think that Jia Yuan and Jia Daishan were also characters of the same generation back then, but their descendants were so unbearable.He actually started counting on orphans.It's no wonder that the Rongguo Mansion is now in such a state of decline.

"Write the pen, I will read it, and you will write it." Emperor Qianyuan pointed to an inner eunuch serving in front of him.

"Yes." The eunuch who could serve in front of Emperor Qianyuan would be illiterate.Especially when Emperor Qianyuan served in front of him, he had to write good handwriting.After all, in many cases, the emperor seldom wrote the imperial decrees by himself, and the inner eunuch wrote them for him, and then he personally stamped the jade seal.This is how the decree comes into effect.

"The former minister Lin Ruhai of Gusu served as Yangzhou patrol salt censor, and worked diligently... Today Lin Ruhai's daughter, Lin Shi Daiyu, is from Gaohong, dignified and intelligent, virtuous and virtuous, beautiful and intelligent, with both virtue and capacity. Special Entitled Anping County, Qinzai."

The inner eunuch showed Emperor Qianyuan the written edict.Emperor Qianyuan swept his eyes and nodded, "Well, let someone go to Rongguo Mansion to announce the decree."

"Yes."

"By the way, after the imperial decree is announced, remember to ask someone to give another special order. It is said that I will decide the marriage in Anping County, so that Mrs. Shi can't make it arbitrarily, and don't need to intervene. I know Mr. Lin Before he died, Anping county did not have any marriage contract." After thinking about it, Emperor Qianyuan added this sentence when he went out with the edict in his hand.

"Yes."

Rongguofu

Since the sect was separated from the Ningguo Mansion, the door of the Rongguo Mansion has become more and more popular.In the past, from time to time, low-ranking officials would come to visit him, but now he hasn't seen anyone for a long time.

For the female relatives in the inner house, they may not feel much.

Jia She, Jia Zheng, Jia Baoyu and others didn't feel much, but Jia Lian felt it very clearly here.For this situation, he could only sigh helplessly.

On this day, Jia Lian and the county magistrate of Lin'an were talking about Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu's marriage.

"The old lady keeps saying that she loves Miss Lin and wants to protect her for the rest of her life. This is the way of pampering, this is the way of comprehensiveness. Push her into the fire pit. Knowing that Jia Baoyu is now a useless person, even as a The most basic ability of a man is gone. He is willing to push in the only flesh and blood of his only daughter. She really is a real grandmother!" The Lin'an County Lord spoke unabashedly to Jia's mother.

Although she felt sorry for Lin Daiyu, it was a pity that she could not be the master in this matter.Although she is a daughter of the clan, the head of the county, and is honorable, this mother Jia is Lin Daiyu's grandmother, and she also has a super-rank title, no matter in terms of seniority or rank, she is higher than her.Now that there is no one in Lin Daiyu's father's family, it is Jia's mother who can do the most for Lin Daiyu's marriage.

So she has no say in this matter.

Although Jia Lian also felt that what Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang did was not authentic, but as a Jia family member, he naturally couldn't say it out loudly like Lin'an County Lord.However, he also agrees with her words, "The old lady and the second aunt did not do it right." I don't know why Lin Ruhai suddenly thought of him, although he only met once when he was dying, at that time Lin Ruhai had already met her. Ruo Huihui only held his breath, but his eyes were surprisingly sharp.He always felt that Lin Ruhai would make arrangements for Lin Daiyu's future. After all, there was only one drop of flesh and blood left, so he naturally hoped that her life would be safe and happy.In addition, the maid named Zijuan that the old lady arranged next to Lin Daiyu disappeared for no reason. Although it was said that the illness was gone because of the acclimatization, but if there was no inside story, he would definitely be the first to not believe it.

Just when Lin'an County Mistress was about to speak, she saw the maid in front of her hurrying over, blessed her body, and hurriedly said: "County Mistress, Second Master, there is an imperial decree from the palace. The old lady invited someone to The county magistrate and the second master should go out quickly to listen to the orders."

Upon hearing this, the county lord of Lin'an and Jia Lian immediately lost their composure.

Especially Jia Lian jumped up directly.How long has it been since there was no imperial decree conveyed in Rongguo Mansion, even when he married Lin'an County Lord, there was no imperial decree conveyed.

At this time, there is an imperial decree, don't be a problem, right?

The figures of Lin Ruhai and Lin Daiyu suddenly flashed in my mind, I don't know why?He always had a bad feeling.

as predicted.

When Jia Lian and the head of Lin'an County arrived, the incense table had already been set up, and all the men and women of Jia's family had already arrived at the middle gate.

Then I saw an inner eunuch coming on horseback, followed by several guards of the Royal Forest Army.

The eunuch got out of the carriage, entered the mansion, and raised his voice and said: "The imperial decree has arrived."

Everyone immediately knelt down.

"Which one is Lin Ruhai, Lord Lin's daughter." The inner eunuch glanced at the female relatives present, and said so.

Hearing the inner prisoner's words, everyone was stunned for a moment, but Jia Lian recovered beforehand because he had already made some preparations in his heart.Looking back, I found that Lin Daiyu was not in it. Also, because Lin Daiyu didn't want to marry Jia Baoyu, she had been "under house arrest" by Jia's mother and went to her yard.At this time, it did not come out.

Jia's mother said, "I don't know why my father-in-law is looking for my granddaughter? She is weak and weak. She was shocked by the wind a few days ago, and she is still sick in bed." What's the matter?Could it be that this edict was announced to Lin Daiyu?Could it be that Lin Ruhai made some arrangements before his death?Thinking of this in my mind, I also thought that some time ago because I forced her to get engaged with Baoyu, the two had a very unpleasant fight.Lin Daiyu even fell ill the next day.Thinking of this, a subtle complexion suddenly appeared on her face.

"The target of the miscellaneous family's edict is Miss Lin. If she is not here, it will not work. Send someone to invite her here." Because Lin Daiyu is already the county that ordered the edict, when the eunuch spoke, his tone was naturally A little polite.

Mother Jia is also a shrewd person. Naturally, when she heard the politeness in the eunuch's words, her heart trembled, and she had a bad feeling in her heart, but she still said on the face: "Yes, this old man makes people call me She's coming."

After speaking, he turned his head and ordered a few words to the mandarin duck who was supporting him, and at the end, he added another sentence: "Be more polite."

Yuanyang left immediately.

As the big girl next to Jiamu, Yuanyang is naturally at the top of the world in terms of sophistication, not to mention that Jiamu gave one more order, but she didn't. Just watching the inner eunuch who passed the decree called Lin Daiyu by name, Yuanyang's attitude towards Lin Daiyu was not the same. Dare to be disrespectful, not to mention that she has always been kind to others.

I ran all the way to Lin Daiyu's yard.

The two caretakers who were cracking melon seeds saw the mandarin duck in front of Jia Mu, and immediately got up with a smile on their faces: "The mandarin duck girl is here. But the old lady has something to say."

"I came here to look for Miss Lin at the old lady's order." Although the matter was urgent, Yuanyang and the two guard wives explained something before walking into the courtyard.

Lin Daiyu was lying on the bed in a middle coat at this moment, and the snow geese next to her were helping her to take medicine.

"Sister Xueyan, the mandarin duck girl next to the old lady is here." At this moment a little girl came over and said.

"Please come in quickly." Xueyan glanced at Lin Daiyu, and said so.

The little girl replied, then turned and left.

"Girl, it must be Master Rong who made the most of it. This servant will wait for the girl to get up." Xueyan is an extremely smart woman, otherwise Lin Ruhai would not have valued her, and she might even have given her a heavy responsibility.Immediately said happily.

Sure enough, after the mandarin ducks came in, they didn't talk nonsense, just saluted, and said directly: "Miss Lin, the imperial edict has been passed from the palace, and the girl is called to receive the order. Please change your clothes quickly, and follow the slaves In the past." Said another blessing.

Lin Daiyu was taken aback by Yuanyang's words, but quickly pulled Xueyan's secrets, and then quickly came back to her senses, nodded and said: "Yes, I understand."

At this time, Xueyan had cleverly brought out the new clothes, quickly helped Lin Daiyu put them on, and quickly combed Lin Daiyu's hair, then helped Lin Daiyu to go.Before leaving, Xueyan thought for a while, took out an extremely beautifully embroidered purse from the dressing table, and put it in her armhole.No matter what the imperial decree says?But since the roll call asked the girl to come over, it probably has something to do with the girl.In this way, the reward should be prepared early.

When they arrived, the eunuch had been waiting for quite a while, but those who lived in the deep palace were more sober than others, and there was no trace of impatience on their faces.

Seeing two girls dressed as servant girls coming over with a weak willow Fufeng girl, about fourteen or fifteen years old, I knew that this was Lin Daiyu, the daughter of Master Lin.Then he raised his voice and said, "Miss Lin, please accept the order."

"The courtier accepts the order." Then she knelt down.

Lin Ruhai was a third-rank official before her death. Although she has passed away, Lin Daiyu is still qualified to be called a courtier's daughter rather than a commoner's daughter.

The inner eunuch unfolded the imperial decree, read out the previous series of words, and finally read the main point: "...specially named Anping County, hereby." Looking down at the already dumbfounded crowd, his brows were indifferent wrinkled.

On the contrary, Xueyan came back to her senses first, couldn't help but lightly touched Lin Daiyu, and reminded softly: "Girl, don't be in a daze. Thank you quickly." Uncle Rong is really amazing.She thought that after Uncle Rong got the news, at most he was helping the girl push through the marriage, or else he would just kill Jia Baoyu directly.But I didn't expect to give the girl such an identity.Although the status of the county is not comparable to that of the county head, but with the title, not only can this marriage be resolved smoothly, but also the girl can rely on her life in the future.

That's great.

Uncle Rong really kept his word.The master really did not misunderstand the person.

Lin Daiyu was touched by the snow geese, and then she came to her senses, kowtowed immediately, and said, "My lady, thank you Lord for your kindness." She raised her hands high as she spoke, and then received the imperial edict.

The inner eunuch put the edict into Lin Daiyu's hands and said, "Congratulations from the miscellaneous family to Anping County. Anping County is overjoyed."

At this time, Xueyan had already helped Lin Daiyu to get up, took the purse she had before she came out, took a step forward, and quietly stuffed it into the hands of the inner prisoner, and said with a smile: "It's really hard for my father-in-law to come here. It's just a thought, I hope that my father-in-law will not dislike you." This purse contained a 50 tael bank note.

The inner eunuch held the purse, but couldn't feel anything, as if it was just an empty purse, and nodded in satisfaction.I just think that the newly named Anping County is really a smart person.He smiled and said: "Anping County is too polite. It's just the job of a miscellaneous family, and it can't be called hard work." Looking back, he also remembered what Emperor Qianyuan said before he left.With a dazed expression, he said, "Old Madam Shi, the emperor still has an oral order to convey to you."

"Tell me." Mrs. Shi just felt really bad in her heart.

"The emperor said it. Mr. Lin has made great achievements in the court. It is normal for his only daughter to be granted the title of county. Now Anping County is already a daughter of the clan. This is a lifelong event in Anping County. I will not bother you. You After all, I'm getting old, so it's better not to worry about some things." The eunuch looked at Jia Mu meaningfully, and said so.

When Jia's mother heard what the eunuch said, her heart skipped a beat, and she knew it was not good.I'm afraid that the emperor already knows everything.But even though he thought so in his heart, he still had a smile on his face: "Your Majesty is very considerate. I know." Although the new emperor is young, he has a lot of eyes, and he is not bad at being ruthless. First Emperor.

It seems that the matter of the two Yu'er can't be done.

The inner prisoner who declared the decree was sent away.All of a sudden, the expressions of everyone in Jia's mansion were complicated.
