my wife is wonderful

Chapter 286: Ningdu

Prince Jin couldn't help but lift the carriage curtain. A spring breeze came in and gently caressed his cheek. He couldn't help but chuckle and said, "At this time of year, if I could ride a horse for a while, it would be so relaxing and enjoyable!"

"Your Highness, when we return to Ningdu and you are well again, you can do whatever you want!"

Xiao Youzi smiled and comforted.

Prince Jin didn't look at him, but said calmly: "That may not be the case!"

Xiao Youzi opened his mouth, wanting to say something to comfort His Highness, but he didn't know what to say. Having been in the palace for many years and having seen many things, he naturally understood what His Highness meant. What would he face after he returned?

"Maoshan, what about you?" Prince Jin suddenly asked. Although his voice was not loud, Yang Qingmo could naturally hear it with his hearing ability.

He pulled the reins and approached the carriage, "What did your highness say?"

"I said, what are you going to do when you get back?"

"Working errands, reading, accompanying my parents, and...writing storybooks!" Yang Qingmo thought about it and felt that this last thing had to be included in his schedule, otherwise he would keep putting it off and not want to write anymore, and if he didn't want to write, he wouldn't be able to hand it in.

As for who the task is to be completed is self-evident.

Prince Jin first burst out laughing, then couldn't help laughing a few times, then he reached out and tapped Yang Qingmo to stop laughing, "Your arrangement is quite good. Once the script is finished, I will be the first one to read it."

Prince Jin was tactful and did not say he wanted to be the first to see it.

Yang Qingmo cupped his hands, "If Your Highness is interested, then of course you can."

"I have read all your previous works. I have read 'Yunshan Ji' twice. I am your loyal reader." Jin Wang said.

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness!" Yang Qingmo bowed.

King Jin waved his hand, "Of course I should."

Yang Qingmo was speechless.

"By the way, how is Nie An? Does General Zhu like him more?" Prince Jin felt that after hearing these two sentences, he felt much better.

God is really unfair. Good-looking people are like the spring mountains, spring breeze, spring water and spring scenery. They make people feel comfortable and happy just by looking at them.

Before setting off from the north, Nie An and Yang Qingmo's master Nie Changkong personally went to find Zhu Yue in order to propose marriage for Nie An.

Of course, the marriage proposal is one, and if General Zhu disagrees, he can naturally refuse it. Even Nie Changkong himself said, "My eldest disciple is a rough man. I originally thought that he would either remain single or find a martial arts woman in the martial arts world. In this way, the two of them can be regarded as fish and shrimp, cat and dog, rough man and tiger girl, and they are well matched. He is marrying a lady from a noble family, which is really marrying up. He dares to think about it, but I, his master, dare not propose it!"

At that time, Zhu Yueyue and his son Zhu Shen looked at this top master in the martial arts world, listened to his ridiculous words, looked at each other, and remained silent.

He said he didn't dare to mention it, but he mentioned it anyway.

"I thought about what the boy told me yesterday all night and felt that he was quite pitiful. He lost his parents when he was young and grew up with me, a master who didn't worry about anything. He cooked, washed and managed the household by himself when he was very young. When he grew up a little, he started practicing martial arts, and he never slacked off in the cold and hot seasons. When he was even older, he went out as a escort. Every time he came back from an escort mission, other escorts would either take the money to drink or go to brothels, but he would practice martial arts all the time.

Later, I accepted Xiao Mo...Mao Shan as my apprentice, and he followed Maoshan to study and practice calligraphy. His talent and learning were naturally not comparable to Maoshan's, but he also read a lot of books following him. Maoshan once said that with his senior brother's talent and learning, if he took part in the imperial examination, it would be no problem to get the title of scholar, and he could also compete for the title of juren. Later, he joined the army, from an ordinary soldier to the current sixth-rank pacification officer. Although the official position is not high, it has not been easy to get here step by step. So after thinking about it, since he is his master, and he has only made such a request to me over all these years, I came here with a flattering face.

Of course, I am here to propose marriage because I care about and have a responsibility as a master to my disciple. But if General Zhu feels that Nie An is not worthy of your eyes at all, you can refuse it outright. Don't force yourself to agree to it for my sake. After all, marriage is a lifelong event, and I dare not ruin Miss Zhu's life. But if the general feels that my disciple can still be trained, you don't have to agree to it outright. You can think about it carefully. We are not in a hurry and can wait. It doesn't matter how long we wait."

Although Nie Changkong did not hold an office in the court, he was one of the best masters in the martial arts world. He was upright and open-minded, chivalrous and brave, and had a great reputation. Even Zhu Yue, the son of the Duke of Zhenguo who came from a noble family and held an important position, was polite and respectful to such a person.

He came to propose marriage on behalf of his eldest disciple, and his words were so humble. Although Zhu Yue felt that it was not very polite, he did not refuse it outright.

Then he thought of the always carefree Nie An, who would come to him from time to time to show his presence ever since he had traveled to the desert and saved his daughter. Not only himself, but also his son Zhu Shen, were Nie An's targets.

At first, the father and son didn't know why he was like this, but the war was tense at that time, so they didn't pay much attention to it. Before leaving Cangcheng, Zhu Yue met his daughter once, and Zhu Yan inadvertently mentioned Nie An's name at least three times. At that time, Zhu Yue had some associations in his mind.

Later, when he went to attack Gao Feng, these things were naturally put aside. However, he really did not expect that Nie An would actually persuade his master, Xia Nie, to come and propose to him in person. He thought he would wait until he returned to Ningdu City and find an official matchmaker to come to propose marriage.

But at the moment, Zhu Yue felt happy about this, because at least it showed that Master Nie Changkong and his apprentice valued his daughter.

But... even if he guessed that Nie An and Zhu Yan were in love, how could he agree to this marriage so easily?

As for Nie An, he had some things he was satisfied with, but there were even more things he was dissatisfied with.

So... Prince Jin felt that he had not been able to help Nie An in finding a marriage partner, but he could no longer delay his performance in front of his future father-in-law. Therefore, he directly stated that he did not need Nie An's guards, and instructed Yang Qingmo to lead the soldiers to guard his carriage.

Yang Qingmo was a little confused about answering Prince Jin's question.

It is hard to describe Zhu Yue's attitude towards Nie An. It seems that sometimes he is satisfied and sometimes he is dissatisfied. Along the way, they walked from winter to spring, but for Nie An, it was sometimes in the severe winter with biting winds, and sometimes in the scorching summer with the scorching sun. It was like a world of ice and fire.

"Senior brother... General Zhu is training him!" After thinking for a while, Yang Qingmo gave this answer.

Prince Jin laughed out loud, "Hey, this is the only way to get married. You just took the lead and got married early. Otherwise, you would be no different from him."

Although Prince Jin said this, he knew in his heart that the Anping Marquis' Mansion could not be compared with the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion, and Master Geng could not be compared with General Zhu. From the perspective of outsiders and external conditions, Yang Qingmo would be more likely to win the favor of his future father-in-law than Nie An.

So Prince Jin just said that, purely because he was too bored and just made a casual joke.

Yang Qingmo thought about the attitude of Geng Wen and Ruan towards him over the years after he and Geng Xingshuang got engaged. He seemed to have never been troubled by them, but... his life was not as comfortable as Prince Jin said. Although his future father-in-law and mother-in-law did not make things difficult for him, his future daughter-in-law seemed to think that he was living too comfortably and would give him a difficult problem from time to time.

But... Yang Qingmo's mouth curled up slightly. He was actually quite willing to solve these difficult problems. When he saw her happy and bright smile after he completed her request, his heart also flew up. This feeling made him very comfortable and unforgettable.

Yang Qingmo suppressed the emotions that surged in his heart, and looked at King Shangjin with a gloating look. He slowly said, "What kind of gift would your highness like? I can prepare it in advance and give it to your highness when you get married!"

Prince Jin glared at Yang Qingmo and shrank back into the carriage.

He is older than Yang Qingmo. When he returns this time, his father should arrange a marriage for him, but... he doesn't seem to have anyone he wants to marry.

He doesn't have a childhood sweetheart, nor does he have someone he falls in love with at first sight. He feels that it is a bit difficult given his identity and current situation.

In fact, he shouldn't think about these things. For him, these are just asking for trouble and even a luxury.

His marriage should have nothing to do with emotions.

Xiao Youzi couldn't help laughing when he saw His Highness retreat back into the carriage in response to Lord Yang's question. Prince Jin glared at him, and he was so scared that he immediately stepped back. As he stepped back, he heard a "bang" and his forehead hit the wall of the carriage.

"Your Highness?" Chen Luan's voice sounded outside.

"Nothing, keep going." Prince Jin's voice was flat, but Chen Luan glanced at Yang Qingmo, who looked normal. He also heard what Yang Qingmo and Prince Jin had just said, and his expression was a little complicated. Logically speaking, he should be the person the prince valued and was closest to the most, but in front of the prince, he could never be as tactful as Yang Qingmo.

It is quite difficult to chat with the prince about some light topics without offending him.

On the fifth day of March, the army arrived outside the city of Ningdu. Prince Ping, Prince Chun, the Sixth Prince, and the Seventh Prince led all the officials outside the city to welcome the army back to the capital.

General Zhu led a group of soldiers to thank the emperor for his grace, and then went to the palace to meet the emperor.

Geng Xingshuang, Zhu Yan and others naturally returned to their respective homes.

As for Zhu Ni and Zhang Kexin who also came back with the army, Zhu Ni is the daughter-in-law of the Duke of Dingguo's Mansion. Everyone in the Duke of Dingguo's Mansion has been convicted. Zhang Kexin is a member of the Zhang family. Although the Zhang family has fallen into poverty because of the incident with the eldest prince, the family is still there. However, Zhang Kexin colluded with bandits and abducted Zhu Yan. How could Zhu Yue let this go? So the two of them were temporarily escorted to the imperial city together to be judged by the emperor.

Together with the two of them were several officials from the north and their families, including He Junqi, the magistrate of Tu County.

Of course, the most eye-catching person among those escorted into the city was the fourth prince of Yaomu, Geluo.

During this period, Ge Luo tried to commit suicide many times, but whether it was because of the tight guards or because he was not ruthless enough, he never succeeded once.

In fact, Zhu Yue was not so concerned about Ge Luo's life or death. His most useful time had passed, and it was still unknown whether he could still play a role in future negotiations with Yao Mu.

Geng Xingshuang and Zhu Yan were sitting in the carriage. Hearing the noise outside, they could almost imagine how lively it was outside.

Zhu Yan wanted to reach out and lift the car curtain to look outside, but after reaching out several times, he paused.

They were very busy during the past few months in the north, so they gradually forgot, or should I say ignored, the fact that they were abducted. This kind of thing is difficult to conceal, and it must have spread throughout the streets and alleys.

Now that they are back, they will hear their names mentioned by many people, they will be talked about, and even accused.

Zhu Yan didn't know if she was ready to calmly accept the looks people were looking at her. What kind of looks would they be, sympathy, scrutiny, contempt, disdain, or even disgust?
Geng Xingshuang listened to the noise outside, took a few deep breaths, sniffed carefully, and suddenly said excitedly: "It seems to be Lao Zhang's mutton soup restaurant outside. Jinbao, go and buy five, no, go buy ten mutton patties. When I was in Cangcheng, I was thinking about this. I didn't expect to walk along this street and eat hot mutton as soon as I came back. I'm so lucky!" (End of this chapter)
