Chen Ku immediately understood the reason behind the County Magistrate's change in attitude.
In the Daji Dynasty, the County Magistrate is an eighth-rank official, and under the Martial Temple's title system, a scholar is also an eighth-rank title holder.
Though he didn't hold an official position, their statuses were effectively on the same level.
This meant that.
From today on, he, Chen Ku, would no longer be just a commoner or a merchant shopkeeper, but a proper, officially recognized Martial Scholar of the Daji Dynasty!
Wealth and nobility, this time, he finally grasped the 'noble' part!
Smiling inwardly, he cupped his hands towards County Magistrate Qi and said, "I appreciate your kind intentions, County Magistrate; however, I have no plans to start a family yet..."
"No worries, no worries," Qi Wanshan laughed warmly.
In truth, he could no longer view Chen Ku with the mindset of a merchant or commoner.
