Quick Wear: The Cold Beauty's Sickly Husband is Super Clingy
Chapter 522: Cunning Master x Upright County Magistrate 18
mid-November.
The rebellion of Prince Yudong came to an end. Those who deserved merit were rewarded, and those who deserved punishment were punished. Gaoling City was bustling with activity.
The most eye-catching event was the marriage between the Grand Tutor and the third young master of the Earl of Cheng'an.
All civil and military officials knew the character of the Grand Tutor. Xiahou Yi could indeed be considered a loyal minister who was always loyal to the emperor, but his methods were indeed too cruel.
Because of this, officials of all ranks who had daughters in the court were unwilling to marry Xiahou Yi, for fear that their children would be eaten up by him, and that her family might also be affected.
But they didn't expect that the Grand Tutor, who had been ordered to go north to fight against the King of Yudong and his rebels a few months ago, actually chose Ning Zishu, who had made great contributions in defending the city in Quyang County.
Speaking of this former Quyang County magistrate who was both civil and military, many officials had some impression of him.
Ning Zishu, the third young master of the Cheng'an Earl's Mansion, who had won the top spot in the imperial examination three years ago, used to attract the hearts of the women in the city when he rode a horse through the streets.
Many officials and their families were interested in marrying this scholar, but unfortunately he asked to be sent away and stayed away for three whole years!
I thought that after he was transferred back to the court, I would have the opportunity to marry the beautiful Lady Ning, but I didn't expect to hear about his marriage with the Grand Tutor first.
Rumor has it that the Grand Tutor had asked the Emperor for permission to marry him in exchange for his meritorious service in suppressing the Prince of East Yu.
With the imperial decree, they could only restrain their thoughts.
It’s just a pity that such a handsome boy was snatched away by the Grand Tutor. Otherwise, Ning Zishu’s beauty genes could have been passed down. Now they are ruined in the hands of the Grand Tutor.
It has to be said that Cheng Amber was a handsome man when he was young. Even though he is nearly fifty years old now, he can still show the elegant and romantic demeanor of his youth.
His four sons were all famous for their handsomeness, especially the third son.
Cheng Anbo is handsome, and Ning Zishu's biological mother is a rare beauty, fully worthy of being the most beautiful woman in Cheng Anbo's backyard.
After the two got married, they had Ning Zishu.
As their son, Ning Zishu's face is a perfect combination of the best features of his parents. He has both his father's handsomeness and his mother's gentleness and elegance, which makes it easy for people to like him.
The officials in the court had all seen Ning Zishu's appearance after he recovered from his injury and returned to the court. They all thought that the rumors were true and that Lord Ning was indeed extremely handsome.
A few brave civil servants tried to strike up a conversation with Ning Zishu, and they all felt that Lord Ning was indeed a true man of letters and elegance.
A gentleman is like jade, but it is a pity that he met the Grand Tutor.
This was the idea of most civil officials, but the military generals felt sorry for Ning Zishu's talent.
With Lord Ning's outstanding skills, he would be able to achieve twice the result with half the effort if he were to go into battle and kill the enemy. It's a pity that Uncle Cheng An and the Grand Tutor refuse to let him go!
For several days, Cheng Anbo was annoyed by the group of generals and almost fought with them in the council hall, clenching his fists and then unclenching them again.
Are you kidding me! His son is a scholar, doesn’t he understand what a scholar is? !
Even if his son is good at fighting, he is not a warrior!
Xiahou Yi was no less defeated. Seeing that Cheng Anbo refused to give in, the group of generals came looking for him, making him so angry that his face turned black on the spot.
He was already worried that Ning Zishu's health had not recovered well. Now, when he heard the generals in the court instigating him to persuade Ning Zishu to give up literature and take up military service, he almost scolded those generals one by one on the spot to vent his anger.
If he had not been in the palace, Xiahou Yi would never let go of the general who instigated him.
But he did not let those generals go easily.
After the court session, he visited every household one by one. With his eloquent mouth, he successfully persuaded the generals to give up the idea of luring Ning Zishu into the military camp, and he made the generals' faces turn green with anger.
After venting his anger, Xiahou Yi returned to his Taifu Mansion in a low mood.
When he saw Ning Zishu sitting in the yard, he immediately calmed down and stared at the beauty who was drinking tea and reading a book on the couch with a smile.
"Zishu, are you used to living here?"
He put his arm around Ning Zishu's shoulder in a familiar manner, with a gentle smile on his lips. If you didn't look into his eyes, you would really think he was a gentle and considerate man.
But the little maidservant serving beside him clearly saw the darkness in the eyes of the Grand Tutor, as if he was a murderous evil spirit crawling out of the abyss.
She pinched her palms to keep herself awake and not show any other expression.
Ning Zishu slowly put down the book and looked up at the man who was trying to be gentle.
"You arranged it very well, I like it very much."
He raised his hand and touched the corner of Xiahou Yi's eyes. "You just don't seem very happy. Did you get mad outside? Why are you so unhappy?"
Xiahou Yi told Ning Zishu about the generals' attempts to poach his talents. After that, he leaned on Ning Zishu's shoulder and said nothing more.
Ning Zishu patted his back gently. "Father was also harassed by the military officers a few days ago, but I really didn't want to give up literature and join the military, so father rejected the proposal of the military officers in the court."
"But I didn't expect them to not give up and come to you again. It's better that you reject them for me now. I really have no interest in fighting."
He coaxed Xiahou Yi softly, "Don't be unhappy, I will cook some food for you myself. Eating delicious food will make you feel better."
"Yeah!" Xiahou Yi was coaxed instantly.
He wanted to eat the meals Ning Zishu prepared himself and live like an ordinary family.
