Chapter 284 Doting on a Concubine and Destroying a Wife in a Wife 32
When winter came in the thirty-eighth year of Kangxi's reign, the imperial court suddenly issued an order to vigorously promote cattle breeding among the people. Every cattle farmer would receive a subsidy from the court, and each county would recruit people who were good at raising livestock. Provide guidance.
With subsidized money and people teaching how to raise a cow, people who couldn't afford to raise a cow because of their poverty would dare to try raising a calf. Even if something happened to the cow, it wouldn't be a problem. You won’t lose too much!
When the New Year was approaching, the Tong family suddenly received an imperial edict, which actually named Longkodo a first-class viscount!
This decree caused a small sensation in a certain area.
Who doesn't know that Longkodo has been lying on the bed for two or three years. How could he be awarded a title for no reason? Although everyone knows that the Holy Father has shown great favor to the Tong family, this favor is too much. Bar!
After this decree was issued, many nobles discussed it. Some said that the imperial concubine took pity on Longkodo's younger brother who had no future and asked the emperor to grant him a title. Others said that Lord Tong Guowei established something else. For his meritorious service, he himself was already a superior prince and could not be rewarded, so the emperor gave this reward to his unworthy legitimate son!
However, there was not much noise within the Tong family about this matter. Now everyone in the family who should know about cowpox already knows about it, and they also understand that the reason for this reward comes from the cowpox discovered by Fujin, the direct descendant of Longkodo.
Some people are jealous of Lin Hui's good luck. He can get cowpox even with random efforts. He has made great achievements for nothing and added an extra layer of protection for himself and his son!
Lin Hui knew that Si Fujin had secretly greeted her beforehand, so she knew that this was a reward from the emperor, so she was not surprised.
Because she was not a clan daughter, she could not be rewarded alone. If she wanted to legitimately improve her status, she could only obtain the imperial title by granting rewards to her husband.
Viscount is the first rank, and Lin Hui, as the first wife, naturally gets the title of first rank wife. Moreover, this title can be passed on to descendants. After Longkodo's death, Yue Xing'a can inherit the title and become a second rank baron.
Although this viscount does not sound like he has a high title, and his annual salary is only a mere four hundred taels, and it is a false title and does not fulfill any actual duties, he still attracts the jealousy of many people, among them Dirk Xin's direct descendant Fu Jinsuo. Why do you call Luo Shi?
It's like Sotsoluo is suffering from pink eye. He will get angry at anyone who does something nice, and make a few jabs, which makes everyone feel bored. She herself was extremely unpopular among her sisters-in-law and relatives, but it was Deke Xin who loved her the most. The two concubines in the room were like decorations, and they hardly let them get close to each other. Chuo Luo Shi Zhuan.
Speaking of concubines, there are at least three or four concubines in each room in the Tong Mansion, among which the women in the third room are the most numerous. But now because Longkoduo has become like that, those women have become decorations.
In the past two years, Lin Hui has sent three of Longkodo's women away one after another. They are all girls from the same house, so there is no need to guard them like this.
The partners they married were all selected by Lin Hui from the village or the shop. Basically, they were in good condition, and they were allowed to choose from among them. Once they had chosen, they would be given a dowry to marry.
Because they were able to escape the misery of having a third wife, and because Lin Hui did not hesitate to spend money and prepared very affordable dowries, these girls were all happy when they got married!
The remaining two concubines have seen several girls get married and are living a good life. Recently I heard that one of them is pregnant and the child will be born next year.
After hearing the good news, they were also a little moved. After all, who doesn't want to have a man and children of their own? Although there is no shortage of food, clothing, and monthly money, they are still lonely. Will they have to be so lonely in the future? Forever?
Therefore, after much hesitation, the two concubines hesitantly expressed their desire to marry and asked Lin Hui to help find a suitable person.
Lin Hui had said before that as long as she wanted to get married, just tell her that she had a clear partner, and she could help find a way. Now that they had proposed it, she would naturally not break her promise.
She found suitable partners for these two concubines and married them off. She also allowed them to take away their private houses and gave them some dowries.
As a result, among the several women in Longkodo, the only one left was Jueluo Shi, a noble concubine.
This Jueluo family was as calm as water. She always stayed in the third house and never had the idea of remarrying.
She is also pitiful, her natal family is from a poor family, otherwise they would not let her, a girl with a red belt, be a concubine. She has an honest and cowardly character, and is very timid. In the original plot, Luo Shi was completely beaten by Li Si The son was forced to have no way out and hanged himself.
Lin Hui also felt pity, so people asked her that if she wanted to marry again, she would not object and would provide her with some necessary help.
But she refused, and Jueluo Shi said: "My mother's family is unreliable. If I get married again, they will inevitably come to visit me. If I were at Tong's house, they would not dare to come. Grandma is a good person, so I will live with her, and my life will be pure and comfortable." , Grandma will never leave me without a place in the future."
Lin Hui was dumbfounded. This was clear. Since she didn't care about finding a man again, let's just do it. She was right. She would not ignore her in the future. In fact, as long as she had nothing to ask for, such a life was not bad.
Before marrying off these women, Lin Hui would symbolically tell Long Ke one more time. Although he could not respond, she was his woman after all, and she always had to say what she had to say.
Long Keduo lay in bed for several years, and the imperial physician came for regular follow-up visits every month. Although his body was obviously not improving, the imperial physician always said he was fine. He knew in his heart that he would probably never get better again!
The biggest meaning for him in the future is to live. Even if he loses Si'er and that child, he can be relieved, not to mention those women, he has long since given up.
Therefore, even if those women came to kowtow to him before leaving the house, he would show no signs of abnormality. He would just look at them indifferently and not feel any disturbance in his heart.
Even if the imperial edict of being promoted to Viscount came down, Longkodo was only happy for a moment. For him now, even if he was granted the title of Duke, what's the use? The only ones who benefit are his descendants.
However, in the past few years, Yue Xing'a would come to Longkodo every day to greet him and talk. The father and son spent more time together than before. Perhaps it was because Longkodo knew that he would never have another heir, so , his feelings for Yue Xing'a are also deepening day by day.
Longkodo watched his son's growth and progress, and he was also happy. Whenever Yue Xing'a recited books and read poems in front of him, he was particularly happy. He felt that although he was dead, he still had such a son, as long as he If his son can be successful in the future, he will also be honored.
