Chapter 1194: Chapter 1192 Top Scholar Becos County Magistrate_1 Chapter 1194: Chapter 1192 Top Scholar Becos County Magistrate_1 Yang Wenxiao was extrely 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 thod.
However, if he were to beco an imperial son-in-law, the restrictions would be many, and Ya Wuxia might not necessarily wish for such a position.
To make soone 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 ti after the city gates were closed at night.
Nevertheless, he took Yang Wenxiao’s task to heart. He took advantage of lunchti to visit the dical Clinic and instructed Tong Tiehu to relay the ssage 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 ntioning this subject, Ya Wuxia’s face imdiately 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 sa 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.
“Soone who can communicate with 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 won 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 commitnt, it is better to have none than to settle for less.
Hearing Ya Wuxia’s words, Tong Sanlang understood; finding soone compatible to talk to sounded easy, but to truly find a girl who shared the sa values, interests, and had a good temperant 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 so ideas.”
“Indeed, Brother Yu currently has no intentions of marrying,” Tong Sanlang affird.
“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 assessnt is about to begin, and the incumbent magistrate of Xiezi County is due for a transfer,” Yang Wenxiao declared.
