For the next month or so, Fu Zhiyi was busy every day.

First, these new scholars were all granted official positions.

According to convention, the top three will be directly awarded official positions.

The top scholar is usually a sixth-rank Hanlin editor, while the second and third place scholars are both seventh-rank Hanlin editors. Other Jinshi scholars have to take part in an imperial examination, which is to select Shujishi.

Those who passed the exam would enter the Changguan for further study, while those who failed would be granted official titles.

Generally there are two types. One is the head of each department, that is, the sixth or seventh rank.

One is to be directly granted the title of seventh-rank county magistrate and transferred to the place where the vacancy occurs to serve as the local official.

Logically, Fu Zhiyi should also be awarded the seventh rank of Hanlin editor.

However, it is easy to be an official if you have someone in the court. Fu Zhiyi is considered to be well-known in front of the emperor, and the emperor has a good impression of him.

After thinking about it, he also appointed Fu Zhiyi as the Hanlin editor.

Although it is only a one-level difference, the Hanlin Editor is equivalent to the emperor's secretary. As someone close to the emperor, he has more opportunities than other officials.

When this news came out, everyone congratulated him on the surface, but who wouldn’t be envious in their hearts?

Everyone knew that Fu Zhiyi had left a good impression in the emperor's mind, and his future official career would be much smoother than theirs.

Everyone is smart. No matter what his classmates think in their hearts, they all appear happy for him, and their relationship with Fu Zhiyi becomes even closer.

Even when he went to the master's place, the master's attitude towards Fu Zhiyi was different from others.

After being appointed as officials, these newly-appointed scholars would have a vacation of more than a month, which was a special time given by the court to these officials to return home and take care of family affairs.

These officials who were sent to remote places far away from the capital would receive their appointment orders directly and take up their posts directly after returning to their hometowns.

Officials who remained in the capital would also return to their hometowns and then return to the capital to take up their posts.

Fu Zhiyi should have been the most free, with vacation time and no need to take up office.

Unfortunately, the emperor remembered him and mentioned him during the morning court one day, so Fu Zhiyi was forced to go to work early.

In the eyes of others, this is the supreme honor, proving that the emperor remembers you.

Even though Fu Zhiyi was extremely unwilling, he had no choice but to go ahead with it.

Less than half a month later, news came from the emperor's side that Fu Zhiyi was highly valued by the emperor and some important documents were drafted by Fu Zhiyi.

When the old marquis heard the news, he walked with the wind in his eyes.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, he submitted another memorial, directly bypassing the eldest master and requesting that his eldest grandson Fu Zhijian be granted the title of Marquis of Ningping.

This memorial shocked the emperor.

Fu Zhiyi happened to be on duty that day, so he was called over to ask if he knew about it and what he thought.

Although Fu Zhiyi guessed that the old marquis might really pass the title directly to Fu Zhijian, bypassing the eldest master, he did not expect him to actually do so.

I was speechless for a moment.

When asked by the emperor at this moment, he naturally said he didn't know.

When asked what he thought, he was honest: "According to the court laws, my grandfather did not violate the etiquette by passing the title to the eldest grandson. As long as my grandfather and my uncle have no objection, I have no objection either."

The emperor just asked casually. After hearing what Fu Zhiyi said, he laughed and let it go.

Within two days, the memorial was approved and the emperor agreed.

This caused an uproar in the Ningping Marquis's Mansion.

The master was stunned by this bolt from the blue.

Now his son is the Marquis of Ningping, and he is the prince of the Marquis of Ningping's mansion?

Isn’t this rebellion against Tiangang?

However, when he heard the end, he realized that the old marquis would either not do it or do it to the extreme.

He was directly stripped of his title as the heir to the Marquisate.

In other words, the Ningping Marquis’ Mansion now has the old Marquis, and then the newly-appointed young Ningping Marquis, but no crown prince.

Of course, if the legitimate son of the New Ningping Marquis can establish himself, he can be conferred the title of Crown Prince in two years.

Regarding this news, except for the first wife who was shocked, the second and third wives accepted it well.

The third master, in particular, was so delighted that he dragged the second master out for a drink to celebrate that night.

The second master was actually quite happy in his heart, and even tried to persuade them that it was not appropriate, but when the third master pulled him, he reluctantly went.

The two brothers drank until half the night, and according to the waiters, they laughed until half the night.

The eldest wife, Mrs. Jin, accepted it even better. She had been planning this for a long time, and although she didn't know which god had opened her eyes, she made the old marquis finally make up his mind.

But as long as the result is what you want!

Although she no longer had the title of Crown Prince's wife, she was the mother of the newly appointed Marquis and the old lady of the Marquis's mansion.

Apart from the eldest master who could not accept it, the ones who suffered the biggest blow were Fu Zhiming and his wife.

Especially Fu Zhiming, who had just made up his mind a few days ago and boarded the nobleman's ship. He thought that with such a backer, it was still unknown who would eventually get the title of Ningping Hou.

With the support of noble people, he also has the ability to compete.

As a result, the old marquis did this.

How is this still playing?

Fu Zhijian has already become a marquis and has a legitimate son. In the future, the position of the crown prince will definitely belong to his son. What else does he have to do with it?

He is not willing!

His eyes darkened, and a hint of cruelty flashed in Fu Zhiming's eyes.

The happiest people were naturally Fu Zhijian and his wife, Mrs. Hu.

While you are at home, the title will come from heaven.

And he directly skipped over the Crown Prince and his wife.

The couple couldn't be happier.

The kind that would make me wake up in the middle of the night and laugh for half the night.

Even Lu Zhenzhen couldn't help but praise the old marquis for this amazing operation. If we talk about dogs, the old marquis is the worst!

This means that the old man’s own son has been wandering around for half his life!

Tsk tsk, that’s so mean!

Putting aside other things, how can this master go out and meet people?

When you go out and see someone, they will ask you, "Hey, why did your father pass the title to your son and not to you, the son?"

Are you unfilial?

Otherwise, which father would pass the title to his grandson instead of his son?

The blame has been put on the master.

It is said that the master was so angry that he vomited blood and collapsed on the night he received the imperial edict.

I don't know if he was hiding from shame or was really angry, but he stayed in the study in the front to recuperate and didn't see anyone.

Fu Zhijian, the newly appointed marquis, is now very filial and pays his respects to the eldest master every day.

Regardless of whether the master wants to see you or not, wait outside for a while before leaving.

If this gets out, who wouldn't praise the new marquis Fu Zhijian as a filial son?

Although the mansion had a new owner, the old marquis still lived in the original courtyard.

The old lady originally wanted to find a quiet courtyard to be at peace, but unfortunately the first wife and Mrs. Hu both begged her on their knees and refused to let her move out.

After several rounds of pushing and shoving, the old lady finally moved into Ruixuan Hall.

The first wife, Mrs. Jin, still lives in the original courtyard.

He just handed over all the power in his hands to the Hu family.

Mrs. Hu has also finished her confinement. Now she has become the wife of the Marquis of Ningping, with both a son and a daughter. Naturally, she wants to take control of the finances of the mansion.

As a legitimate son, Bo'er had to be temporarily handed over to the eldest wife, Jin, to help take care of him. He was left with Jin during the day and taken back to his own courtyard at night.

Because of Bo Ge'er, the relationship between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is more harmonious than before.
