Farm Girl Turns Everything Around: Sly Husband, Let's Farm

Chapter 1194: Chapter 1192 Top Scholar Becomes County Magistrate_1 Chapter 1194: Chapter 1192 Top Scholar Becomes County Magistrate_1 Yang Wenxiao was extremely satisfied with Ya Wuxia’s exam papers, and at the Qionglin Banquet after the palace examination, he personally tested his knowledge. Right after the examination, he was moved by the thought of bestowing him with the title of imperial son-in-law.

Yao Xian only had two sons, Yang Hao and Yang Ye, but the other concubines had daughters.

Using a princess to tie Ya Wuxia to the Yang Family was the most secure method.

However, if he were to become an imperial son-in-law, the restrictions would be many, and Ya Wuxia might not necessarily wish for such a position.

To make someone devoted, one must first win their sincere and happy consent.

Therefore, Yang Wenxiao called upon Tong Sanlang, asking him to help gauge Ya Wuxia’s inclinations.

Ya Wuxia was acquainted with quite a few people, and after obtaining the title of top scholar, his schedule was packed with banquets today and poetry gatherings tomorrow.

Tong Sanlang was also busy, as Yang Wenxiao’s birthday was approaching, and public security in the Capital City was of utmost importance. He only had free time after the city gates were closed at night.

Nevertheless, he took Yang Wenxiao’s task to heart. He took advantage of lunchtime to visit the Medical Clinic and instructed Tong Tiehu to relay the message to Ya Wuxia.

A few days later, after the city gates were closed, he personally went to the small courtyard to inquire about Ya Wuxia’s opinion.

Upon mentioning this subject, Ya Wuxia’s face immediately turned as bitter as a gourd.

Not only did Yang Wenxiao have intentions of taking him as a son-in-law, but other Aristocratic Families and officials had the same idea.

For the noble ladies, finding a suitable husband was not easy. He was good-natured, learned, attractive, and yet unmarried, making him the perfect candidate for a husband.

“No rush, I’m not in a hurry at all, Sanlang,” Ya Wuxia urged Tong Sanlang with seriousness, “Do decline on my behalf with the Retired Emperor. Just say I’m currently focused on establishing my career and will consider marriage after that.”

“But you’re not getting any younger either. Other’s kids at twenty are already nimble enough to run errands,” Tong Sanlang said.

“I’m just two years older than you. No rush, no rush,” Ya Wuxia waved his hand dismissively.

“Then what kind of person do you like?” Tong Sanlang asked.

“Someone who can communicate with me well… yeah, just like how it is between you and your younger sister-in-law,” he replied.

Originally, he was devoted to his studies and hadn’t given much thought to marriage, but having seen Tong Sanlang and Qiao Xiaomai together, he had set a benchmark in his mind: a marriage should be like theirs, relaxed, comfortable, and jovial.

But how many women like Qiao Xiaomai could there be? Even across the entire Daqi, there were few to be found.

So he was in no hurry, not at all.

For a lifelong commitment, it is better to have none than to settle for less.

Hearing Ya Wuxia’s words, Tong Sanlang understood; finding someone compatible to talk to sounded easy, but to truly find a girl who shared the same values, interests, and had a good temperament was not so simple.

Sighing inwardly, he returned to the Palace.

When he arrived back, Yang Wenxiao was still not resting. Tong Sanlang reported the matter to him, and upon hearing it, Yang Wenxiao clicked his tongue, “He’s got quite some ideas.”

“Indeed, Brother Yu currently has no intentions of marrying,” Tong Sanlang affirmed.

“So which official position do you think would be good to assign to him?” Yang Wenxiao inquired.

“Such a significant matter, I… ”

Tong Sanlang was about to decline when Yang Wenxiao cut him off, “I give you permission to speak. As his friend, you understand his thoughts better. When employing people, it’s always better to have their wholehearted willingness.”

“Uh… Brother Yu currently wishes to make Xiezi County prosperous,” Tong Sanlang managed to say.

“Then let him be the magistrate of Xiezi County. It just so happens that the triennial administrative assessment is about to begin, and the incumbent magistrate of Xiezi County is due for a transfer,” Yang Wenxiao declared.
