Daiyu did not contradict Lin Ruhai, but looked straight at Lin Ruhai with her heartbroken eyes. Such pity made Lin Ruhai dare not look directly at her.
Seeing that Lin Ruhai was silent, Daiyu withdrew her gaze.
From what she heard before, she already knew that although her father rarely cared about her, he cared about her very much in his heart.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have kept her in mind like this when he knew his life was approaching.
She did know that when her father first became ill, he would ask people to bring him government affairs and read them to him every day. Now since January or February, his father has completely abandoned even these things, which shows that his spirit is so short.
What a situation.
Lin Ruhai wanted to say something else, but Daiyu said quietly: "Father really doesn't have to worry about his daughter.
If the father lives a long life, the daughter should always serve him and fulfill her filial piety.
If the father really has the heart to leave his daughter... ugh, father doesn't have to worry about it. Either he goes with his father, or he cuts off his black hair and lives a lonely and innocent life, that's all."
Lin Ruhai didn't pay attention at first, but when she heard that her daughter actually wanted to abandon the world, she was shocked.
He knew that his daughter was not that kind of messy person. Since he said this, there must be a reason.
After thinking for a while, he said: "You already have someone you like?"
Daiyu's sadness had reached its extreme and she was about to faint. She was shocked when she heard this. After being stunned for a long time, she shook her head and denied it.
Lin Ruhai thought he had guessed it right.
"But Baoyu?"
Lin Ruhai thought to herself that her daughter had been in the Jia family since she was nine years old, and she was about the same age as Baoyu of the Jia family.
It is normal for people to love each other so much.
If this is really the case, even if he sacrifices his last bit of dignity, he still has to fulfill his daughter's needs!
He was the son-in-law of the Rongguo Mansion and a second-rank official of the central government. If he came to discuss marriage with Jia's mother despite being sick, he expected that the Jia family, which valued dignity, would not be able to refuse.
If it doesn't work, just try to overstep your limits and ask Your Majesty to comply with one or two things, and then you can succeed.
Daiyu was stunned again, her face that was already red suddenly turned into anger.
"What precious gold and jade? If your father talks nonsense, your daughter will never pay attention to you again!!"
Observing that her daughter's cheeks were green, white, and red, Lin Ruhai was also confused.
Was it really a wrong guess?
Logically speaking, the only outstanding young man that my daughter can come into contact with is Jia Baoyu!
Seeing that her daughter seemed really angry, Lin Ruhai didn't know what to say.
He felt that his energy was so short, and after only spending a while like this, his mind was like a ball of mush, and it was very confusing.
He looked at each other in silence, and was just thinking about whether to ask his daughter to step aside first and let him calm down for a while, when he heard Lin Youquan's somewhat excited voice coming from outside the house.
"Master, Second Master Lian, he..."
"Brother Lian, what's wrong with him?" Lin Ruhai was a little confused. The old housekeeper followed his temperament and was always calm and calm. Why was he so irritable this time?
Lin Ruhai, who had something on his mind, didn't pay too much attention. His daughter standing aside, with an originally gloomy face, became quiet when she heard the words "Second Master Lian" and suddenly looked towards the door of the room.
"Master, this is a great news! Second Master Lian, he has been promoted to Marquis!!"
"What?"
Lin Ruhai's eyes, which had been slightly squinted, suddenly widened.
…
Jia Lian walked out of the south study room with a light step.
Until now, he still felt a little incredible.
Emperor Ning Kang actually promoted him to the rank of Marquis!
Second-class Zhenyuanhou!
Like General Zhenyuan before him, his title remains unchanged, but he has changed from a general to a marquis!
The fifth-level general title is specially formulated for nobles to be demoted.
Regardless of the prince, after one generation of surrender, he will be a first-class general and rank first grade.
The earl was demoted to the rank of second-class general, second rank.
By analogy, the baron was reduced to the fourth level.
In other words, if you are granted the title of Duke or Marquis at the beginning, you can still enjoy six generations of glory even if you have been doing nothing for generations.
At the beginning, if it was just a baron, it could only be passed down to three generations.
However, from the establishment of this system to the present day, there are many people who have been reduced from the fifth-level nobility to the general nobility, and there are only a few people who have been reduced from the general nobility to the fifth-level nobility.
Even if he was the Duke of Rong first, it was because of his meritorious service that after the death of the old Duke, he directly inherited the title of Duke Rong without downgrading, instead of being promoted from the first-class general to the title of Duke Rong.
In fact, from a first-class general, it is impossible to rise to the rank of Duke.
At most, he can be promoted to marquis.
In fact, whenever one is demoted from the fifth rank to the rank of general, it means that the family has been kicked out of the Wei army!
Kick him out, become a general, and enjoy your life at home.
When he was ordered to leave Beijing last year, Emperor Ning Kang had promised that if the job was done well, even if he was allowed to return to the fifth rank, it would not be impossible.
Now Emperor Ning Kang really did what he said. Not only did he do what he said, but he also exceeded his expectations and gave him a big sweet date!
Originally, his second-class general was still below the count.
Jia Lian thought that even if Emperor Ning Kang wanted to reuse him, the most he could do was reward him as a count so that he could lead the army in a legitimate manner.
Who would have known that Emperor Ningkang would be so generous and be promoted to the rank of Marquis, still the second rank?
Become a Marquis...
It has been an eternal topic since ancient times. Immediately becoming a marquis, having three wives and four concubines is not just a talk.
He was granted the title of Marquis and Prime Minister, a reputation that countless heroes and heroes have been chasing for thousands of years, so he got it so inadvertently and off guard.
Well, maybe it’s not so unintentional.
If you think about it seriously, during this trip, he actually experienced several crises and made several meritorious deeds for the imperial court.
Especially rescuing the princess who got married... This kind of rescue effort can be big or small. A small thing can be ignored, but a big one can reach Qingyun!
Moreover, he was not immediately granted the title of Marquis.
He first had the hereditary title of Rong Guofu, and his title was not low in the first place. Now that he was promoted to marquis, it was not as shocking as the title of marquis in white.
However, it is enough to make the government and the public astonished and envious.
After thinking for a while, Jia Lian ignored the surprised gazes of the eunuchs behind him, and when he was twenty steps away from the palace door, he headed towards the south study room again, kowtowed, and then stood up and waved his sleeves and walked down the stone steps.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! He believed that Emperor Ning Kang would also know about his small move and would not regret giving him a generous seal.
"Congratulations, Lord Marquis, congratulations, Lord Marquis."
Under the white stone steps, I didn't expect that Xiang He was still waiting for him here.
Although Xiang He already knew about Jia Lian's promotion to the Marquis, he still couldn't help but feel sore in his eyes when he saw the eunuchs of the Daming Palace personally holding the noble uniforms, belts and other items for Jia Lian and following behind him.
"Rejoice together and rejoice together."
Jia Lian didn't need to hide his kindness at this time. He smiled and cupped his hands with Xiang He, and then said: "To be able to receive such a favor this time, I have to thank Mr. Xiang."
"Me?" Xiang He said, my status is humble, please don't make fun of me.
"We are sent as an envoy according to the order. If Sir Xiang had not been personally involved in everything and managed the internal affairs diligently, I would not have returned to the capital without any danger. It would be even less possible for me to receive such a generous reward from His Majesty."
"..."
Xiang He was speechless.
"Hahaha, in short, I will remember Mr. Xiang's feelings. If there is a chance someday, I will personally host a banquet and invite Mr. Xiang to my house for a few drinks."
"Do you really mean what the Marquis said? Then I will wait for that day." Xiang He's eyes lit up. Although he was not good at drinking, if he could use this to get in touch with the Jia family, the leader of the eight princes, and the celebrities around the emperor.
Naturally, he was extremely willing to establish friendship with Jia Lian.
"It's easy to talk about. By the way, since I have received the reward, Lord Xiang has worked hard this time and made great achievements, so I believe your majesty will not treat you badly. Just now in front of the emperor, I also told your majesty about the achievements of Lord Xiang's trip one by one.
"
"In that case, thank you Lord Marquis for your support."
Xiang He was indeed a little moved, but he still sighed: "However, I don't expect to reward my subordinates generously.
Your Majesty has already awarded you the position of doctor in advance. Even if Your Majesty does not reward you with anything else, I will be content with it."
After sending Xiang He away, Jia Lian had just left the palace, and the carriages and sedans sent by the Jia family to greet him at the palace gate were naturally ready.
Lin Zhixiao and others also reminded that Jia Mu and others were waiting at the house, implying that Jia Lian had better go back quickly.
However, Jia Lian looked back at the direction of the many yamen in the south, and then asked Lin Zhixiao and others to go back to the house first. He himself took A Qi and several other personal guards and rode south.
