Chapter 19 The Title of the County Monarch

"You're too young to understand." Lin Wenxi patted her head and only sighed.

Lin Qingran doesn't understand, maybe it's because she still retains everything she had before time travel, the influence of modern society on her concept, maybe it's because she is content with the status quo, sometimes this kind of common people's thoughts pop up in her heart, Having enough to eat, drink and have a surplus used to be the most satisfying state of life for Lin Qingran, so about chasing fame and fortune, about the enviable glory that everyone wants to fight for, at this moment, she really can't understand .

"Father doesn't tell me, how do you know that I don't understand?" Lin Qingran said stubbornly, Lin Wenxi smiled, "If you understand, then you don't need to say it."

Lin Qingran glared at him angrily, and went around, just because she didn't want to tell her thoroughly, "The eldest sister is really having a bad time in the He family. Could it be that the parents didn't do anything for her when they knew about it?" .”

"What your mother thinks is all speculation, but did you hear your sister say it herself?" Lin Qingran stopped talking when Lin Wenxi asked. Seeing that the elder sister's face is not good, so what if she thinks that she is not doing well. Don't tell the big sister, is the Lin family going to crusade against the He family with the reason of 'my daughter has lost weight and is in a bad mood, so it must be that your He family treats her badly'.

If the Lin family makes trouble because of this, the big sister will have a hard time in the He Mansion. The water thrown out by the married daughter always pays attention to evidence, and the evidence is that the daughter was rejected. In the past, the mother gave birth to their seven sisters. Isn't it disgusting enough, but no one has ever said something wrong with the grandmother. It seems that the fact that she can't give birth to a son is naturally the fault of the woman.

Thinking of this, Lin Qingran was in a bad mood, and she couldn't help but feel a little angry in her tone, "Let's just forget it, this is not bullying for nothing, my sister didn't say it because she didn't want us to worry, mother It’s just that we know there’s nothing we can do about it, so I feel sorry for my sister.”

"Then what do you say?" Lin Wenxi asked her with a chuckle, seeing the angry look on her face.

Lin Qingran was stuck there, and when asked by her father, she fell down like a deflated ball in an instant. She looked down at the toes of her shoes exposed under the skirt, and muttered, "I don't know."

It seems that her method is to help more and more. Chun lost her temper and was straightforward for a while. In the end, the elder sister had to bear it alone. When the elder sister got married, she was from the He family. They helped For a while, can you help me for a lifetime?

"But I just love my sister." After a while, Lin Qingran said unwillingly, "With my sister's temperament, if this continues, she will get sick."

If the second sister were to marry into the He family today, with the character of the second sister, it might be a different scene.

Lin Wenxi patted her head, "Okay, it's late, go back to sleep."

Lin Qingran went back to listen to Nuan Pavilion, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. Her cognition was different from that of this world, and she didn't fully integrate into it. That's why she was so entangled. Many things that were logical seemed so unreasonable to her. .

Lifting the quilt to cover her face, Lin Qingran looked at the top of the bed in the dark, fixed her eyes for a while, and said, "Si Qin, come here."

There was a rustle outside the screen, Si Qin put on a dress and opened the curtain to look at her, "Miss, are you thirsty?"

Lin Qingran shook her head, pointed to the stool beside the bed, "Sit there, I have something to ask you."

The consequence of the long night talks is that I can't get up the next day.

Lin Qingran was lying on the bed shamelessly. Mother Li refused to respond when she called her several times. She nestled sleepily in the quilt, waved at the few people guarding the bed, and begged helplessly, "Let me sleep again. a while."

Mother Li helplessly covered her with the quilt, and went out to ask the vigilante vigil last night, "Miss asked you to talk all night, what did you say?"

Si Qin's eye sockets were also a little swollen, and her voice was hoarse, "Miss asked the servants a lot about things before the slaves were sold." Before Si Qin was sold, she was a little girl who grew up in the village. Two younger sisters, parents always wanted to have a younger brother, but they couldn't support so many children, so her father sold her to a matchmaker.

Mother Li took a look inside the room, and the lady listened to these things all night, "Didn't you say anything else?"

Si Qin shook her head, and Mother Li patted her on the shoulder, "You haven't slept all night, now go and rest for a while."

After all, Mama Li went to Luoying Courtyard and told about it.

Mrs. Lu was talking to Mrs. Wang about making new clothes in the spring, and after hearing what Mrs. Li said, she ordered, "Then let her sleep well, and the maids around her don't dare to refute her intentions. I'll tell her this."

Mother Li nodded and went out. Mrs. Lu put down the booklet, and glanced at her little daughter who was lying by the window and looking at the yard. It is easy to give birth to a child, but difficult to raise a child. Last night when her husband came over, the two chatted all night.

The daughter she gave birth to is in someone else's house, even if she suffers the slightest grievance, she will be reluctant to bear it, but she knows some things in her heart, and she has to live her own life, and she can't live those days for her child
A servant girl came to report at the door, saying that a matchmaker had come to marry the second young lady, but Mrs. Lu let go of the matter at hand and asked someone to bring the matchmaker in.

There are so many girls in the Lin family, this is a big business. As soon as the official media entered the door, they praised a lot of good things first. From the married eldest girl to the seven-year-old girl who is only three years old, all the younger ones are still Didn't open it, in the mouth of the official media, this must be a great beauty in the future.

After boasting, I started to talk about the second lady's marriage.

There are quite a few people who are interested in marrying the Lin family. Today, the official media has quite a few of them. After seeing it, Lu didn't say whether he was satisfied or not. He only said that he still had to inquire. to stay.

I left what I wanted to see, and I went to inquire on my own. That is a little hopeful. This kind of marriage is full of oil and water. The official media went back happily. When Lin Wenxi came back in the evening, the husband and wife discussed a lot of time Well, the next day, Lu's sent someone to return those brochures to the official media.

During the two months from March to May, many matchmakers came in and out of the Lin family, and some wives came with the matchmaker, all for Lin Qingyan's marriage.

But it seems that the Lu family didn't like any of them, and there were so many back and forth, none of them were to his liking.

It was approaching June, and the weather was getting hotter. There was good news from the uncle's house, the lobby sister-in-law was pregnant, and Mrs. Liu, who had planned to live in Lin's house for the Mid-Autumn Festival, did not stay here, and went home to see her grandson-in-law.

They brought back a lot of things that the Lu family had prepared for her, and within a few days, the Lin family suddenly had good news.
To be precise, the news first arrived at He Gong's mansion, and then reached the Lin family.

Suddenly, an imperial decree came to He Gong's mansion, conferring Lin, the third wife of He Gong's mansion, as Yulin county monarch.

The edict was proclaimed by the emperor's father-in-law. It is said that everyone in the He family was stunned after hearing the edict. The title of the county monarch was still awarded to the Lin family who had just given birth to the eldest granddaughter of the second wife. The daughter-in-law didn't even have a seal, so why did she pass it to Lin's directly.

After Mrs. He led the whole family to receive the decree, she sealed the red envelope for the father-in-law. By the way, she also inquired about why the county monarch was suddenly granted. The answer given by the father-in-law was very simple, because the emperor wanted to seal it.

The title of county lord is given to the clan daughters and wives. Unlike the orders received by their husbands, the title of county lord enjoys a representative of noble status, and it was given by the royal family. Among them, there were not many women from the clan who were enshrined as county lords, and their family backgrounds were all very prominent. Among the married women, not many were enshrined as county lords, and they generally followed their husbands who were officials.

The sudden arrival of the emperor, Mrs. He is so old, she can see clearly, and she quickly realized that the emperor's title of county monarch is not because of the He family, but the Lin family.

Although Mrs. Lin is only the third young lady of Duke He's mansion, she is also the eldest daughter of a scholar of Lin University of the Hanlin Academy. If it is said that Mrs. Lin's status is a bit weak when she gets married, now that the imperial decree is issued, Mrs. Lin will be married at once. They are more noble than Dafang's two daughters-in-law. At this moment, everyone in Hegong's mansion is in a delicate mood.

After the Lin family heard the news, the whole family was happy.

Although the title of County Lord has no real rewards, it is honored by the word 'Xianjun'. It is a reward from the royal family. For a family that values ​​honor like the He family, it is worth more than giving ten thousand taels of gold It makes them feel honored, so with this title, the eldest sister's status in the He family is now much more honorable.

Lin Qingran saw the inscrutable smile on her father's face. It turned out that her father had already thought about it. He knew that he could not do anything to the He family, nor could he do anything to the elder brother-in-law, so he begged his sister directly. With a noble status, the He family just looks down on the Lin family who has no background, and now gives a title that no one else can enjoy. See if the He family dares to neglect the big sister again.

After the title of the county lord came down, the He family was lively for several days. The Lu family justifiably brought their daughter to congratulate. Who are they congratulating? Congratulations to the second lady. Congratulations, I went to see my daughter and granddaughter again, seeing that they all looked good, Lu Shi was relieved this time.

Also because of this title, more and more people came to the Lin family to propose marriage to the second miss of the Lin family. The funny thing is that the third miss of the Lin family who is two years younger than the second miss of the Lin family also said that 12 years old is not young, so it must be. It can be decided, if it is early or coincidental, if not, it will be gone if it is late, who knows if the Lin family will produce another county monarch in a few years, the emperor is now in his prime, and he is in good health, Lin University The scholar is also young, and he can still be good for many years.

This is not from July to September, the number of people who come here has not been less, and soon it is the day of the township examination. The students who come to Luoducheng Academy from far away to study have to go back to the place where their household registration is located for the exam. One month before the exam, These candidates left the academy one after another and went home.

That is to say, in mid-September, less than half a month before the exam, the marriage of the second miss of the Lin family, who had been in suspense for a long time, was suddenly settled. It was about Jin Shaoyang, the young master of the Jin Mansion, and this Jin Shaoyang was also a student of the Lin University. one.
