Chapter 408 The First Son-in-Law in History
"My husband, dare I ask, why didn't Mrs. Liu come?" Mother Jia asked the eunuch tentatively.
The eunuch shook his head: "The old lady doesn't know something. Your Majesty is in a bad condition. Mr. Liu must not leave."
These words made everyone's hearts sink again. At this juncture, Zhao Qi was actually ill. Who would believe it?Something must have happened to him.
This also means that Jia Jue was defeated, he failed to stop the rebels!
When Madam Wang heard the words, her legs went limp and she fell to the ground. She looked at Jia Baoyu beside her with tears streaming down her face.
What she feared the most had happened.
It's all Jia Jue's fault!If he hadn't been brave, how could he have suffered such a catastrophe!
The eunuch glanced at her and didn't understand why she looked like this, but he didn't want to ask too much, so he could only read the imperial decree:
"Following the emperor's imperial edict: Rongguo Gong Jia Jue, who is loyal to the emperor and patriotic, and has made great contributions in suppressing the rebellion, is specially promoted to be the commander of the fifth battalion of the nine infantry patrols..."
Hearing this, Mrs. Wang suddenly raised her head, her eyes widened, and she looked at the eunuch in disbelief:
"My husband, what did you say, can you read it again?"
The eunuch was taken aback for a moment, although he was a little upset to be interrupted, but thinking that this was Jia Jue's mother, he smiled back and read it again.
Mrs. Wang was overjoyed when she heard the words, and quickly asked, "You mean, Jia Jue stopped the traitor?"
The eunuch nodded quickly: "What madam said is true, but the Duke of the country didn't just stop the rebels, he blocked tens of thousands of troops with two thousand soldiers, and killed the leader of the rebels in the rebellion. After drinking back tens of thousands of troops, in the end, the rebels were so frightened that they knelt down and begged for surrender!"
As soon as his words came out, all the girls stared wide-eyed, and their eyes were full of shining light. They could imagine how majestic and powerful Jia Jue was at that time.
Not to mention the girls who are close to Jia Jue, even the daughters of Xing Yanyan, Li Wen and Li Qi, who are relatively far away from Jia Jue, all have expressions of shock and admiration on their faces.
With 2000 people, facing an army of tens of thousands, how can this level of courage and power not make them feel admirable?
Since ancient times, it is not empty talk that beautiful women love heroes.
"Okay! Okay!" Mother Jia slammed the ground with her cane, smiling happily, "Brother Jue really never taught me to be disappointed."
"My husband, what rank is this admiral of the Nine Sects' infantry patrolling and arresting the commander of the Fifth Battalion?" Mrs. Wang hurriedly asked the eunuch.
The eunuch smiled, and explained the duties and powers of the nine admirals in detail.
The girls were full of surprises when they heard the words. Jia Jue will be a general from now on.
Mrs. Wang's face was full of smiles, Jia Jue became a real power faction, so no one will be able to bully Jia Baoyu in the future.
All the girls looked at her meaningfully, their eyes were full of ridicule, and Wang Xifeng even said directly:
"I don't know who kept saying that Brother Jue was reckless and got her involved."
Mrs. Wang's face darkened, her expression was extremely embarrassing, and everyone's eyes made her face burn.
But she surprisingly didn't refute it, because this was the truth, and she had nothing to say.
The eunuch looked at the crowd and continued to read: "Besides, there is an eldest princess who is virtuous and virtuous, even at the age of marriage, and Rong Guogong is both powerful and military, and he is dedicated to serving the public. He is a good match for the princess, and the eldest princess is specially married to Jia Jue. May the two of you grow old together..."
Hearing this, the faces of all the girls, who were originally full of joy, changed drastically, especially Lin Daiyu, Xue Baochai, Shi Xiangyun and other girls, their faces were completely pale.
They knew very well what it meant for Jia Jue to marry the eldest princess.
It is impossible for a son-in-law to marry someone else, and he can't even have a concubine!
Now that Jia Jue has become a son-in-law, he will draw a clear line with them and cut off contact completely.
For them, this is equivalent to destroying their spiritual pillar, and it is more terrible than death.
Lin Daiyu, who was originally weak, was about to fall to the ground after hearing these words, and even doubled her eyes, scaring all the girls to come forward one after another. After a long period of first aid, she regained consciousness.
But even after waking up, she was still depressed, and her tears kept falling like broken pearls.
Although the other girls did not faint, their faces were all mournful, and they shed tears along with Lin Daiyu.
The scene in front of him made Xuanzhi's eunuch confused, what happened to Jia's family?Why do they look at such a good thing that others can only dream of, like a catastrophe?
Originally, he planned to start a relationship with Duke Renrong's relatives, but at this moment, it seems that it is better to withdraw earlier, so as not to cause any trouble, and Jia Jue will take his anger out on him.
He quickly recited the rest of the sacred decree:
"Near the decline of the men in Jia's mansion, Jia Jue is specially allowed to marry more wives and concubines, and marry the daughters of the Lin family, the Xue family, and the Shi family to Jia Jue. Bestowed!"
After the words fell, everyone was taken aback for a moment, Qi Qi looked at him with inexplicable eyes, and the scene was silent.
The eunuch's scalp was numb when they saw them. He quickly smiled at them, held the imperial decree in his hand, and said to Jia Mu:
"Old lady, please accept the order."
Jia Mu did not accept the order immediately, but asked hesitantly:
"Husband, what you said is true?"
This is also the doubt of everyone, because it is too unbelievable, the son-in-law is like an ordinary son-in-law, and has no rights.
This is not only reflected in life, but also in official career. Generally, concubines do not have any real power.
Therefore, ordinary families of officials and eunuchs are unwilling to let the eldest son or outstanding children be the son-in-law.
What about Jia Jue?
Not only was he promoted to the second rank of the nine admirals, but he was also allowed to marry more wives and concubines. He even married Lin Daiyu, Xue Baochai, and Shi Xiangyun while marrying the eldest princess.
This is beyond what grace can summarize.
This is simply the highest status and most prominent son-in-law in history.
It can be called the first son-in-law in history!
This was simply beyond everyone's expectations and subverted their cognition, so Mother Jia asked this question.
The eunuch frowned, and handed the imperial decree to Mother Jia: "Old lady, this is the imperial decree, just see for yourself."
After finishing speaking, he turned around and left quickly.
Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and hurried to Jia Mu's side, looking at the imperial edict in her hand.
Just when Mother Jia was about to unfold the imperial edict, a person ran to her side, snatched the imperial edict from her hand, and unfolded it.
That person was Jia Baoyu.
He unfolded the imperial decree and looked directly at the last sentence, but saw that there was a sentence written on it:
The daughters of the Lin family, the Xue family, and the Shi family were all married to Jia Jue.
"My sister Lin, sister Bao, sister Yun!" He cried out sadly and fell on his back.
