dream of red mansion

Chapter 737 Size
Besides, when Jiamu and the others suddenly heard that Zijuan said that Daiyu was made the head of Anning County by the emperor, they were all shocked!
The word An Ning is easy to understand, and Ping An Kang Ning is that.But the significance of Anning County Lord is great.

What is a county head?Generally speaking, only the daughter of the prince can be named the county head.

For example, if King Beijing gave birth to a daughter in the future, he might be named the head of the county.

The county head is the noble status that belongs to women only after the princess and the princess.Above rank [-] to rank [-], it belongs to the clan title!
It can be understood that the emperor's daughter is a princess, the prince's daughter is a princess, and the county king's daughter is a county princess.

Whether it is a prince or an emperor, he is originally a member of the royal family.After all, the king of the opposite sex is a rare thing, and it has been rare in all dynasties.

For example, today, among the kings of the opposite sex in the world, there is only Beijing Wang Shui Rong and his family!

In this era of supremacy of imperial power, Emperor Zhengqing appointed Daiyu as the head of the county, in fact, to express to the people of the world that Daiyu will be a member of the royal family in the future, and no one can despise her.
If you really think about it, even Jiamu, the princess of the country, can't compare with the status of a county lord.

This can be seen.

"What's going on, please tell me carefully!" Mother Jia couldn't keep her composure, and asked.

Zijuan tremblingly said: "I, I don't know. Although I entered the palace with the girl, I only guarded outside Fengzao Palace. Then the emperor came, stayed in Fengzao Palace for a long time and then left. A eunuch will send a message soon, saying that the emperor has appointed our girl as the head of Anning County. I don’t know the specific reason because I don’t dare to ask more questions.”

Although everyone was dissatisfied, they also knew that it would be difficult for Zijuan to find out the doorway.At that time, she must have been dizzy.

Wang Xifeng said: "Could it be because of Mrs. Lin? Didn't Lian Er say earlier that Mr. Lin's house is now guarded by imperial troops. Isn't it said that Mrs. Lin is the emperor's confidant? Now If Mrs. Lin is not well, the emperor may be grateful for the friendship between the monarch and his ministers and give him extra favors."

After hearing Wang Xifeng's words, Zijuan seemed to remember something again, and replied: "Yes, I heard from the palace people that yesterday, the emperor went outside the city to see the master in person!"

Wang Xifeng gave Zijuan a white look.This girl, who has been with Sister Lin for several years, really regards herself as the servant girl of the Lin family. She doesn't even know how to call her a aunt, but just calls her a master.

Jia Mu didn't pay attention to this, she nodded and said, "Probably that's the only reason." Then she sighed, "It's rare for him to have such a holy family, but it's a pity that he was short-lived."

When asked why Daiyu came back, Zijuan said that Daiyu just asked her to come back to report her safety, but did not say when she would come back.

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.

　PS: In the original book, Lin Ruhai inexplicably died in office, leaving no shadow or effective protection for Daiyu.

　　This is why Daiyu often feels sorry for herself and feels inferior to Baochai.If the family is in decline, it is in decline. There is nothing to say about it.No matter how the Xue family declines, it is still an imperial merchant in the name of the Ministry of Household Affairs.

　　Aunt Xue is still alive, and the connections left by Father Xue can still be used to some extent. Besides, the Xue family is rich, and they are very rich. Not to mention that rich people in ancient times had no status, that is for those in power!This is reality.

　　I often hear many people say that Lin Daiyu's status is much higher than that of Baochai, but I don't agree.If Lin Ruhai didn't die, based on his status as a Tanhua Lang and a doctor of Lantai Temple, his daughter is indeed noble, but it's a pity that he died.

　　If the identity of the dead is still useful, then one should not compare Lin Ruhai's identity with that of the Xue family businessman, but compare the identity of Lin Ruhai's Shang Liehou with Xue Jiazu's identity of Ziwei Sheren, who is more powerful? Not yet known.

　　After all, one is an official position and the other is a title.
