Chapter 444: Baochai and Hairpin

In this era, anyone who is knighted, no matter how big or small, is a matter worthy of publicity and celebration by the people around them.

Wang Xifeng knew that this matter could not be hidden from anyone, so she never thought of hiding it. After returning to Rongguo Mansion, she told the happy news in front of Jia Mu and others.

Jia Mu and others were greatly surprised, and then they were overjoyed.

Although the title Daiyu was granted was only the lowest rank of Baroness, it was not hereditary, which meant that it would not bring any other benefits to the family or others. But because of its rarity and specialness, it is more talked about than a man's family getting a title.

After all, the titles of men’s families are the mainstream, and there are many kinds and varieties, but there are only a few kinds of titles for women. And she was almost wrapped up by the noble daughter of the Tian family.

There are really very few people who can live among the people.

If the Lin family can get one, it can be said that the ancestral grave is smoking.

No, smoke has been rising from the Lin family’s ancestral graves for a long time. From the ancestors of the Lin family who were granted the title of marquis, from the time when Daiyu and her father Lin Ruhai visited Hualang, they had experienced two misfortunes. This is the third time!

It’s a pity that the Lin family has become extinct, and this honor and holy favor have been wasted.

Aunt Xue smiled at Jia Mu and others and said: "I have lived for half my life, but this is the first time I have seen such a thing. When I was in Jinling City, I heard that the old lady of the Zhen family was a She is a most noble person, she seems to have a title, and I heard she is the county head.

Therefore, her family is so noble and elegant that other families cannot compare."

Even the female descendants of the Jia family, most of them are relatively unfamiliar with things like female titles. Because in their impression, if a woman wants to obtain an extraordinary status, the only option is to be a concubine. The elders will not take the initiative to talk about the Baroness because it is too far away.

At this time, I heard from Aunt Xue that the old lady of the Zhen family, an old relative of the Jia family, actually had a title, and she was also the head of the county! It sounded like he was much taller than Daiyu's countryman, so they asked questions one after another.

Jia Mu looked cheerful at this time and smiled at Aunt Xue: "Don't say you are rare. Even though I have lived for more than seventy years, I have only seen a few cases. Every time One of them either has an extremely prominent family background, or is a person with great blessings.

As for the old lady of the Zhen family, she was a celebrity in the country when she was young. She was the Xiu'an County that Taizu personally named Lord', her name in the capital at that time was louder than that of ordinary princesses and princesses.

But after she got married, few people mentioned her title.
>
But her noble status is that of her fatherOthers cannot envy what he has gained in exchange for his life. "

Jia Mu recounted these past events in a casual tone. There was no hint of envy for the old lady of the Zhen family in her words.

On the contrary, before she got married, Jia Mu was the daughter of the founding prince of the country. After she got married, she became the most noble lady of the country.

If we really want to talk about it, her identity as the wife of the country , but may not necessarily have a lower status than the other county head.

Besides, the old lady of the Zhen family was more prosperous than her before she came out of the cabinet, but the man she married was not as good as her.

A woman, in the end, is not that important than a man, a son, or a grandson. Everything else is not that important.

Now, she herself is the first-grade concubine, and her eldest granddaughter is a noble concubine. , her eldest grandson is a dignified marquis.

What kind of glory and glory is this?

Looking back at the old lady of the Zhen family, since the death of Taizu, the scenery of the Zhen family has changed. , every year is different. Now the situation of the Zhen family is entirely supported by her.

When she will be buried, the Zhen family will not be able to compare with the Jia family at all. Now.

Speaking of happiness, Jia Mu actually took the unprecedented step of telling everyone in the hall about the doorway to a woman’s title.

She didn’t tell her before because it was because There is no need to say it. Now that her granddaughter has also received one, she will certainly let everyone know more about the hard-earnedness of the Baroness.

A noble person like Jia’s mother should be preached in public, no matter what Whether it is the maids, servants, masters, grandmothers, girls, or even the mother and daughter of the Xue family, they all listened carefully. After all, this kind of opportunity is rare.

After some laughter and emotion, he also said I don't know how many people were happy and how many were envious. It wasn't until Wang Xifeng mentioned that Jia Lian was going to Jiangnan to handle the emperor's mission that everyone shifted their focus.

Although it was sad that Jia Lian had just returned home, he Fortunately, this is normal for Jia Lian, and there are not many surprises for the family.

On the other hand, Jia's mother was surprised and said: "Yu'er's father is dead, why should I still He said that I was worried about letting Yu'er carry the coffin back home alone, and I was thinking about arranging who should follow her. Now that Lian'er is going to Jiangnan, wouldn't it be possible for Yu'er to go south with him? "

Wang Xifeng smiled and said: "That's not what the old lady said. Our Second Master Lian has thought everything about Lin Yatou's affairs thoughtfully and appropriately, so there is no need for our ancestors to worry about it. ”

Jia Mu listened silently. Of course she could hear Wang Xifeng’s joking intention, and she could also guess that maybe this job was what Jia Lian had asked for himself.

But others, such as Baochai and others, a little surprised by Wang Xifeng's tone of voice.

Although Daiyu is Jia Lian's cousin, she is still a girl who has not left the court. Wang Xifeng's words are a bit inappropriate.

Before they could figure it out, Jia Baoyu suddenly said loudly: "Since our ancestors are worried about Sister Lin, why not let me follow Sister Lin and help Uncle Lin return home together."

Jia Baoyu didn't care what title Daiyu was awarded. He only heard that Daiyu was going to carry Lin Ruhai's coffin and return home, so he was very reluctant to leave. When he saw the opportunity, he prayed.

His words made everyone else laugh.

Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang immediately tried to persuade her with serious faces. Even before Daiyu was promised to Jia Lian, it was impossible for Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang to let Jia Baoyu follow Daiyu south and suffer, let alone now.

Mrs. Wang wished that Daiyu could stay away from Jia Baoyu. And Jia Mu was also thinking about how to make the relationship between the two children that she had deliberately cultivated become calmer.

Jia’s mother didn’t want Jia Lian to feel bad about Jia Baoyu because she pestered Daiyu.

Jia Mu was still thinking that she would count on Jia Lian to take good care of Jia Baoyu in the future.

Jia Baoyu just wanted to fight for it, but in fact he had no plans, such as how to arrange things on the road, how to deal with the Lin family when he arrived in Suzhou, etc. Therefore, after being coaxed and frightened by Jia Mu and others, he could only give up in frustration.

After comforting Jia Baoyu, Jia’s mother didn’t want to talk about Jia Lian and Daiyu anymore. She turned her head and saw Baochai next to her with smooth skin and plump appearance. Her eyes lit up slightly and she said with a smile: “Listen. You said that the second son is Bao Yatou’s son?”

“Back to the old lady, the second son is indeed her birthday.”

Jia Mu smiled and said: “ These days, I feel that my home has become a little quieter, and I am looking for something to do to make people lively. By the way, Bao Yatou has given birth to a baby, how old is she?"

"Go back to the old lady, fifteen "

Hearing Aunt Xue's reply, Jia Mu looked at Baochai and nodded, "Well, that's right. Fifteen and hairpin is a big day for her, so she can't be too complacent. It just so happens that I like Bao Yatou to be dignified and sensible, better than the three girls in our family.

If my concubine doesn’t mind, let me help her with Bao Yatou’s birthday. , how about we get together in one place and have fun together? Don’t worry, I won’t let you pay for it. It’s rare for me to love this girl for once. I will bear all the expenses, hahaha.”

These days, Because of Lin Ruhai, they didn't even celebrate the Lantern Festival properly. Now that Lin Ruhai's first seven days are about to pass, it's time for the family to be lively and change the atmosphere.

Faced with Jia Mu’s enthusiasm, Aunt Xue naturally declined to be polite. Seeing Jia Mu’s insistence, she could not disobey, so she could only agree with Baochai.

Then Jia Mu asked again, what kind of theater Baochai likes to watch and what kind of food he likes to eat, so that she can have someone take care of it.

Baochai couldn't resist, thinking that Jia Mu was getting older and always liked to watch lively dramas and eat softer dishes, so she followed the instructions. After hearing this, Jia's mother was even more happy. She immediately ordered Wang Xifeng to make arrangements as Baochai said. She also made Wang Xifeng "complain", saying that Jia's mother only promised her words and did the dirty work, but in the end it was not left to her. It's so well done and it arouses laughter in the whole house, so there's no need to say more.
