Chapter 645: Finally squeezed into the core group
Lan said calmly, "Why would I, an outsider, get involved in the Fu family's genealogy? Even if I were to write it down, it would just be the Lan family of the Fu family. It doesn't matter whether it's included or not."
"Besides, even if I don't write it down, does that mean Brother Yi is no longer my son? Doesn't that mean he's unfilial to me? Why should I care about these empty names? As long as I'm good to the children, that's all that matters."
Out of Lan's selfishness, she didn't even want to be on the Fu family's genealogy.
Moreover, the family tree starts with Fu Zhiyi and his wife. If you think about it carefully, it should be so.
Otherwise, if we start with Fu Heyin, what if the second house also wants to share it?
By then, the second branch and their third branch will be given equal importance, so shouldn’t the names of the two branches be written on the family tree?
Why should the second wife get all the credit for what her son worked so hard for?
Moreover, the second wife is the eldest. A hundred years later, it is possible that the second wife will still be the dominant wife.
That won't do. It doesn't matter if I give more of the Marquis's property to the second wife, as they are all external possessions.
This is a place to establish a family and for future generations to admire. No one else can get involved.
Therefore, Lan agreed very much in his heart.
The third master muttered to himself, you don’t care, but I care a lot.
It’s a pity that his one arm can’t bend the thighs of his son and daughter-in-law.
But she couldn't help but feel wronged: "I don't want to be on the family tree of the Marquis' Mansion anymore."
He also wants to be worshipped by future generations.
If he were still in the Marquis' Mansion, after he died, it would be good if his son, daughter-in-law and grandchildren were still alive, and he could enjoy their incense.
When his great-grandchildren grow up, who will still remember him?
If he were at the Marquis' Mansion, wouldn't he be picking up the incense left by others?
How can that work?
Besides, his and Lan's family tree are still in the Marquis' Mansion. When he dies in the future, won't he be buried in the Marquis' Mansion's ancestral tomb?
After a few generations, who will remember to burn incense for him?
I have to say, the third master thinks really far ahead.
Lu Zhenzhen could see that the Third Master was genuinely worried, and she couldn't help but ask a question. After hearing what the Third Master had to say, she was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
Lan, on the other hand, couldn't help but feel worried after hearing what the Third Master said: "Everything else is fine, but being buried in the ancestral tomb at the Marquis' Mansion after death is really disgusting."
Fu Zhiyi really didn't think so much.
After thinking about it, he decided that this wasn't a big deal. "Don't worry, after the mourning period is over, I'll have the Imperial Astronomical Observatory find a Feng Shui treasured site for our ancestral tomb. A hundred years later, I'll make sure you're buried in our tomb. I don't think Big Brother will bother with us over this little thing."
Fu Zhiyi said this with full confidence and certainty.
After hearing Fu Zhiyi's assurance, the third master changed his mind and realized that his son had made such a great contribution, but the emperor only asked for such an imperial edict. Although the emperor was stingy.
But Prince Jin should not be stingy. When Prince Jin ascends the throne in the future, his son's future will naturally be worry-free.
By then, the Ningping Marquis's Mansion would probably have to look to his son for his opinion.
Brother Jian is not a person who gets angry easily, so I'm afraid he will agree without hesitation when the time comes.
From this perspective, there is no need to worry about the consequences.
The Third Master immediately regained his spirits: "That's good, that's good! When the time comes, you must bury your mother and me in a good place, so that we can bless you in the afterlife."
Fu Zhiyi curled the corners of his mouth, not wanting to accept this kind of blessing.
Lan pouted and said, "It's New Year's Day, why are you saying these things?"
Because the division of the sect was such a shocking event, no one could sleep for a while.
They simply sat together and discussed how to tell this matter to the Ningping Marquisate, how to deal with the elders of the Fu family, and how to minimize the damage to their reputation.
As the saying goes, three cobblers are as good as Zhuge Liang.
None of these four people is really stupid, especially Fu Zhiyi, who has eight hundred schemes in his head.
Everyone raises questions and solves problems from their own perspective.
A good New Year's Eve party turned into a small seminar.
The third master was particularly excited and had a very positive attitude.
This was his first time attending a core meeting at the Princess's Mansion to discuss such a major event that concerned the century-long plan.
This made the third master feel that his efforts over the past few years were not in vain, and he finally squeezed into the core group.
I was so excited that I could come up with three hundred weird ideas in a flash, and each of them was extremely mean.
Those who know think that he is plotting against his own nephew, while those who don’t think that he is plotting against the enemy who killed his father.
Finally, the third master patted his chest and promised: "Don't worry, I'll take care of this matter. I will do it beautifully!"
At the same time, he sighed, "The main reason is that I still have to observe mourning and cannot go out. Otherwise, I would go and talk to the old lady first and ask her to say that this is also the old man's last wish before he died, and we have to agree to it——"
Several people, including Fu Zhiyi, looked at the Third Master in shock. You are really good at passing the buck.
If the old lady knew you were trying to pass the buck like this, she would beat you to death first, right?
I wonder if the old marquis’ spirit is still alive in the underworld and whether he will come up at night to appear in the third master’s dreams.
During the following days of mourning, no matter how turbulent the capital was, the princess's mansion was very peaceful and not tainted by any disturbance.
No one from the Princess's Mansion attended the enthronement ceremony of the March Queen and the Crown Prince.
But the gift was still sent.
The next day, the gifts bestowed by the new queen and prince were all pulled by carts.
Everyone knew that even though the Princess's Mansion was in mourning now, Fu Zhiyi's merit in saving the prince's life meant that his future career would be bright and limitless.
After the crown prince was enthroned, people like King Kang immediately stopped their activities.
His Majesty gradually assigned some of the affairs at hand to the Crown Prince, and always kept the Crown Prince by his side to teach him how to handle state affairs.
In the harem, the concubines no longer dared to act like evil.
Before the imperial concubine became the queen, she could do some things.
Now that the imperial concubine is the queen, any ignorant concubine who speaks disrespectfully will be put in solitary confinement and have their nameplate removed.
Among the concubines in the harem, Concubine Shu knows her position very well. Concubine Xian has been ill since the incident of Princess Deqing and basically never leaves the palace.
None of the other concubines dared to compete with the queen, after all, they would still have to make a living under the queen in the future.
The fourth princess became the most honorable legitimate princess after the eldest princess.
There are countless people who want to curry favor with the princess, and the entrance to the princess's mansion is very busy every day.
There was nothing important happening in the court at the moment. The country had just won a victory, and the morale of the whole country was doubled. The emperor's prestige reached its peak at this moment.
May is just around the corner, and Fu Zhiyi and Lu Zhenzhen are about to start mourning.
The Crown Prince had already sent someone to secretly reveal that he had already found a location for Fu Zhiyi after she left the mourning period.
It was impossible for him to be sent out to other places. He had already found a good position for Fu Zhiyi in the Ministry of Personnel, and was just waiting for him to finish his mourning.
