SanjitNovel Chapter 170
Chapter 170
The Lin family has always had few heirs, and Lin Ruhai loves her daughter as much as her life, so how could she give up!
Therefore, Daiyu's marriage has always been high and low, and now she is twenty-eight years old, and she still has nothing to settle in her life.
If you marry high, the infertile daughter-in-law can only adopt a bastard son, which is too unfair.
If she married low, Lin Ruhai would be fine in fashion. If Lin Ruhai left, I don't know how her daughter would be punished!
This is one of them.
The other is the son’s marriage.
The Lin family's son, named Songyan, is three years younger than Daiyu. He is also frail. Although he won the Scholarship, his body does not support him from taking the exam anymore, so it is difficult to arrange a marriage.
Besides, if Lin Ruhai dies, his children will have to observe mourning for three years, and everything will be delayed.
Therefore, even if he fell ill in bed and was dying, he could not let go of his two children.
That day, the weather was fine, and Lin Ruhai had some strength, so he had someone help him to the table, where he wrote a memorial, hoping that His Majesty would take care of his children for the sake of his hard work over the years.
It was really helpless. There were only three generations of the Lin family, and the in-laws were even worse off than their own family. There was really no one to entrust, and the only reliable way was to leave it to the emperor.
Besides, Lin Ruhai thought to herself that she finally understood who Cen Mingche was.
As long as it's a person he cares about, he can arrange everything for you from inside to outside and even behind you.
He is really very responsible and considerate.
After receiving the news from Lin Ruhai, Cen Mingche went to discuss it with the queen since it was considered a family matter.
"What do you think of His Majesty?"
Cen Mingche pondered for a moment and said: "I would like to give the girl of the Lin family a title of county prince or county head, so that no one would dare to bully her even if she gets married without any offspring."
"What about the son of the Lin family? Give him a parentage?"
"But it won't work. The Lin family is originally a scholarly family. If the child is born from a gift, he will be looked down upon. How about one day, when I show my younger brothers the princess's wife, I can also choose a girl for him."
The queen thought for a while, then suddenly smiled and said, "I have an idea."
"Ok?"
"Why don't you carry Miss Lin into the palace in the name of your noble concubine? If you hold another child in the future, it will be recorded in her name."
"In this way, Your Majesty can give the Lin family brother a title like Uncle Cheng'en in the name of showing kindness."
"You can become the wife of a prince when you enter the house, and there are no constraints. There is also a sister-in-law who is the queen in the palace, and she has a son in her name. She is truly the prince's wife."
"Wouldn't this arrangement be better for the Lin family?"
Cen Mingche hesitated.
"It's just...the Lin family girl..."
The queen sighed.
"You asked me to take care of the Lin family girl. I also know her temperament, which is quite withdrawn."
"If she wants to raise eyebrows in this life, she has to find someone she thinks is better than her."
"Tell me, where can I find a family that matches her and doesn't think she can't have children?"
"With her personality and appearance, to be honest, if it weren't for the big age difference, she would be able to do it even if I, the queen, were given to her!"
Cen Mingche said quickly: "I can't do it, I can't do it. You and I share the joys and sorrows together. Even if the gods come, we can't change it."
"Let me think about this."
The queen pursed her lips and smiled.
"I think it would be better to approve both methods and let Mr. Lin decide on his own. If Mr. Lin has other good ideas, we can just follow his wishes and give the Lin family a good reputation."
"Master Lin's hard work is worthy of our dedication."
Cen Mingche felt it made sense, so he did so.
Let's say that Lin Ruhai received the approval, read it carefully, and called his children in front of him.
"This is a document written for my father. It has His Majesty's approval written on it. You all should read it."
Daiyu took the zhezi and read it first, without saying a word, and then handed the zhezi to her younger brother.
Lin Songyan took it, looked at it carefully, and said in shock: "Let my sister be a concubine? How can this be done?"
"No matter how noble a noble concubine is, she is still a concubine!"
"A person like my sister should be the wife of the mistress. How could she..."
Daiyu said softly: "But which family can accommodate a mistress who is weak and infertile?"
"This……"
Lin Songyan was speechless for a moment.
"Even if the Lord and Lord of the county marry so reluctantly, they may not be able to live a good life. It would be better to..."
"elder sister!"
Seeing Lin Songyan's eyes were red, Lin Ruhai coughed and said weakly: "After all, you two have to live your own life, and I, as a father, don't have many good days left."
"I just want to say one thing, our Lin family is not a family that wants to sell their daughters for glory. No matter what we choose, we must still put the happiness of all sentient beings first."
The two siblings resigned and left.
Lin Songyan pulled Daiyu's sleeve and said nervously: "Does my sister really want to be the noble concubine of Lao Shizi?"
Daiyu smiled and sighed.
"Song'er, you and I, my brother and sister, you count on me to be well, why don't I count on you to be well?"
"It would be nice to be given the title of Lord of the County or Lord of the County, but in the royal family, there are many princesses who have lived a hard life, and it is because they are not favored by the emperor."
"As for the Queen, she has always taken good care of me. I can also see that she has a clear-cut nature of rewards and punishments, and she is very trusted by His Majesty."
"You must know that when you are the mistress of a household, your husband's respect, love and trust are the most important. The Queen and the Queen take care of them all."
"Even if I become a noble concubine, in order to show your majesty's care for the meritorious officials, the queen and your majesty will treat me very well."
"You know, I'm not the type to be arrogant when I succeed. It's probably not difficult to die a good death."
"Besides, with your body, it is impossible for you to go further in the imperial examination, but I know that you are always unwilling to be an idler in your heart. If you become Uncle Cheng'en in the future, it will not be difficult to have an errand. "
"One day, if you marry a good girl and give me a few more nieces and nephews, I will be satisfied."
Hearing what Daiyu said, Songyan knew that she had already thought of a way out, and couldn't help but choked with tears:
"Sister, you..."
Daiyu also had red eyes.
"Let's go back to my father tomorrow."
When Lin Ruhai learned about Daiyu's choice, she could only sigh.
In this case, Lin Ruhai drank the ginseng soup, forced herself to cheer up, wrote the note, and handed it over.
Because I was afraid that my body wouldn't be able to hold on, I even rushed.
Cen Mingche couldn't help but sigh when he saw it.
"Lin Qing has a loving father's heart. The friendship between the Lin family siblings is rare."
The queen read Lin Ruhai's handwriting and cried every word. Her loving father's heart was vividly written on the page, and her heart was filled with compassion.
"If Mr. Lin dies, the Lin family siblings will have to observe mourning for three years. It would be better to wait for three years before Miss Lin enters the palace."
"Let me find out what Miss Lin likes. Let's repair the palace first so that she can feel at ease living there in the future."
So it went on.
After barely surviving for several days, Lin Ruhai breathed her last.
The Lin family expressed their condolences, and the royal family issued a special decree to reward and organize a grand funeral.
He also ordered the Lin family to be restored to the title of earl, and Songyan, Lin's son, would inherit the title.
He also ordered the Ministry of Rites to discuss Lin Ruhai's posthumous title. Everyone in the Ministry of Rites debated for several days and settled on the word "Wenxian".
The so-called life, prosperity and death are nothing more than this.
