Lin Han's body trembled violently.
Seeing Lin Han's strange behavior, Ba Qing smiled at him with an angry look.
Lin Han touched his nose and remained silent.
At this time, it is best not to speak.
Ba Qing really understands his thoughts, she is worthy of being a good wife with a kind heart.
When Huang Qiong heard Ba Qing's proposal, his eyes widened in disbelief and he was suddenly at a loss.
The other women in the room cast envious glances. The City Lord was the dream lover of nearly every young woman in Hanjiang City; he was unattainable, and even just a chance to meet and exchange a word was a luxury.
Now Huang Qiong had the opportunity to enter the City Lord's Mansion and serve the City Lord. It was Madam Ba Qing who asked for it herself. The City Lord remained silent, as if he tacitly agreed.
"I...I...how can a commoner like me be worthy of the City Lord?"
Huang Qiong secretly looked at Lin Han, at a loss.
"You are smart and clever, how can I not be worthy of him? My husband never cares about the backgrounds of his wives and concubines. Miss Huang, don't underestimate yourself." Ba Qing said.
Huang Qiong looked at Lin Han shyly. Only when Lin Han nodded could the matter be confirmed.
She did want to, and not only her, but every woman in the city wanted to, but she heard that every one of the city lord's wives was a beauty of the country and the most beautiful woman in the world.
"You have outstanding temperament and a keen eye. You will definitely achieve great things in the future. This is the charm of Miss Huang. If Miss Huang is willing, I can marry you in a formal way and welcome you into my house." Lin Han said.
"Huang Qiong, agree quickly."
"Huang Qiong, quickly thank the City Lord."
“…”
Beside him, Huang Qiong's teacher kept whispering reminders and urging him that this was definitely a great opportunity to turn a sparrow into a phoenix.
"I am willing to serve the city lord." Huang Qiong nodded shyly.
"Okay, I'll send someone to present the betrothal gifts soon. The city lord has just returned victorious from the Northern Expedition, and there is celebration, which is also a great joy for Hanjiang City. You can prepare carefully. I will send servants to help Sister Huang prepare for the wedding." Ba Qing said.
"Thank you, Madam."
"Still calling me Madam?" Ba Qing said with a smile, "Remember to change your words next time."
"Thank...thank you, sister."
Huang Qiong was very shy and secretly looked at Lin Han. When she found that Lin Han was looking at her, she hurriedly looked away.
Before leaving the Jixia Academy, Lin Han asked Ba Qing, "Qing'er, why do you suddenly want to welcome Miss Huang into your family?"
Ba Qing rolled her eyes at him and said, "Don't be so ungrateful. I naturally understand my husband's thoughts. The way you looked at Miss Huang in the academy just now was just like the way you looked at me when you first approached me. If I hadn't taken the initiative, my husband would have found a way to marry Miss Huang in the future."
"Hahaha!" Lin Han laughed awkwardly and said, "The one who knows me best is Qing'er."
Ba Qing smiled at Lin Han's praise.
"Besides, marrying Miss Huang would inspire the students at the Jixia Academy. Previously, rumors spread throughout the city that my husband only liked stunningly beautiful women, and all his wives were as beautiful as fairies.
As a result, the Music and Dance Academy of the Jixia Academy is filled with beautiful women who go there to study, hoping to gain the appreciation and favor of their husbands by chance. This trend must not be allowed to continue.
"Sister Huang isn't stunningly beautiful, but marrying her will dispel the rumors. He doesn't care about family background or appearance, he only cares about talent. Talented people will be appreciated by him. This will be good for both the Jixia Academy and Hanjiang City."
"Having Qing'er as my wife, what more could a husband ask for?"
Lin Han exclaimed in admiration, thinking how lucky he was to have chosen Ba Qing to summon her. She was a true virtuous wife, worthy of being a legendary woman admired even by Qin Shi Huang.
"Go back and explain to Ying'er and the others. Just say that I instructed you to bring this up. Otherwise, they might blame you for taking the initiative."
Receiving Lin Han's praise, Ba Qing smiled subtly and said, "It's okay. Ying'er and the others are very understanding and will understand. Besides, our sisters are a little overwhelmed by our husband's powerful 'truths'. We are discussing privately and looking for two more sisters to share the burden."
“…”
The news that the city lord was going to marry Huang Qiong, a talented woman from the Jixia Academy, spread throughout the Jixia Academy, causing a sensation.
The city lord married a woman who was plain in appearance but had outstanding talents.
This was a great encouragement to many students in the Jixia Academy.
As long as you have talent, you will be appreciated by the city lord. What a surprising thing.
This stimulated the learning and creative atmosphere of the Jixia Academy and stimulated the enthusiasm for learning prominent subjects such as engineering and mechanics.
This incident also caused great excitement in Hanjiang City.
The rumor that the city lord liked beautiful women was refuted, and the rumor that the city lord appreciated talented women spread, and the mental outlook of the people in the city changed.
Lin Han even heard a system prompt that the morale of the people in Hanjiang City had improved.
The news that the city lord was going to marry Huang Qiong spread, and everyone in the city lord's mansion was filled with joy and was busy preparing for the wedding.
However, some people are happy about this matter, while others are sad.
The most melancholy person was naturally Bao Si, who lived in the city lord's mansion. She was depressed all day. After dinner, she didn't dare to spend much time with Ba Qing and others, and returned to the house alone.
Lin Han was also very worried.
He didn't know how to chase girls. Bachelors in real life were straightforward in the game. He wanted to win Bao Si's smile, but he really didn't know how to start.
King You of Zhou spared no expense and even played tricks on the princes to win the beauty's smile.
Bao Si's nature of causing harm to the country made him dare not act recklessly.
But winning Bao Si's heart was another hurdle before him.
"My husband, are you worried about Miss Bao Si?" Lai Ying'er spoke up when she saw this.
After hesitating for a while, Lin Han nodded.
"My husband, I feel that Sister Baosi must like you very much, otherwise she would not live in our house and wait for your return. My husband, if you want Miss Baosi to fall in love with you, you must express your feelings. If you don't even express your feelings, how can you make Sister Baosi lose face and be with you?" Su Xiaoxiao interrupted.
