Chapter 99： Marry

The spring is warm, and the fields are full of busy figures of villagers ploughing and preparing for ploughing. Because Bao was pressed in the test field, Shen Yanbei spent most of his time in the field since the border returned to Beijing.

The temperature was rising day by day, and the wheat seedlings grew leaves and branches. Shen Yanbei arranged for the villagers to topdress, water and weed, and take care of the fifty acres of winter wheat meticulously.

The 100 mu of peppers planted last year were all frozen to death. Shen Yanbei asked him to pull out the pepper seedlings and set up the ground to prepare spring wheat. The seeds used for nursery are high-quality spring wheat seeds left over last year. In addition, Shen Yanbei bought land again to grow peppers. The market prospect of pepper is huge. This time he not only bought land to plant it, but also mobilized the villagers to plant it together. He distributed pepper seeds to villagers in the downstairs village free of charge, taught the villagers pepper planting techniques, and planned to promote this species.

He is not ambitious, and he is not persistent in pursuing money. His current status and status can bring enough convenience to his life. He really doesn't have so much energy to devote himself to the camp.

For this reason, the villagers in the downstairs village almost cried with joy, grateful to Shen Yanbei for taking care of the crops in the fields with more care.

The spring wheat harvest last year has made the villagers realize that this champion is a fairy farming. This year everyone followed Shen Yanbei's pace without hesitation, and some even watched Shen Yanbei's crops while watching. Serve your own land.

Shen Yanbei is pleased to hear about this. It is a good thing that people can learn from themselves to promote agricultural development, and eventually become rich. Although he doesn't have much sense of identity with this country, he is willing to make a contribution and do his best within his own ability.

The villagers were instructed to keep a record of the growth of their crops, and Shen Yanbei came to the field when he had time, so he took care of the field while preparing for the wedding.

That's right, he has already negotiated the imperial decree of marriage with Zhao Yu, and only waits for people to return to Beijing to hold the wedding!

It's a surprise for his wife, it's been long enough, it's time to fulfill the original promise!

Shen Yanbei happily wrote a letter to Shenjiacun. I haven't been back for two years, and I don't know how the village is going. Tomb-sweeping Ming was about to come, so he couldn't go back and had to ask the village chief to take care of the house. By the way, he went to Shen's father and mother's grave to sue him.

Seeing the withering peach blossom outside the window, Shen Yanbei looked in a trance for a moment.

It has been five years since I came into this world without knowing it...

In the first two years, my wife and my daughter-in-law were in the village to farm and raise ducks, and the days were leisurely and comfortable; the middle two years were busy and fulfilling while studying and taking exams; in the following year, they went to work separately, although there was little gathering and separation, but time and space let each other’s hearts Get closer.

In comparison, Shen Yanbei still likes to live the small life like the previous two years. Gu Changfeng, who had lost his memory, was full of his eyes. The feeling of being desperately needed by the beloved greatly satisfied his vanity as a man.

...But there is nothing wrong with it now.

Shen Yanbei's eyes softened when he thought of the majestic man who was riding on a high-headed horse covered in armor and holding a silver spear.

No matter what kind of appearance his daughter-in-law looks like, he always likes it.

Putting the pen down, Shen Yanbei turned his head and called the housekeeper over.

He bought a Sanjin mansion and listed it in Shenfu. Because I was not familiar with the process of marriage here, I had no choice but to find a housekeeper back to help prepare for the wedding, and secondly take care of the trivial matters in the house.

The two people in the family used to be very casual, but now they step into the officialdom, and there are some favors that must be exchanged, he and his wife are not good at handling these things, so they have to let the housekeeper help.

Everything in the mansion has been rearranged, the courtyard has been renovated, and the martial arts field has been split. The newly-built furniture was delivered to the new house, and the bedding, bed nets, etc. were replaced with festive red. Finding the best tailors and embroiders in Yongjing City to customize the dress can be delivered in half a month...

It seems to be almost arranged.

"Master, are you looking for me?" the butler asked respectfully.

After hearing it more than a hundred times, Shen Yanbei was still not accustomed to this name, and coughed lightly and said, "I asked you to purchase the items on the list, but are all the items properly posted?"

"Back to the master, red coral and pearls have to be transported from the south. It will take some time. The others will be easily accessible in two days."

Shen Yanbei nodded, "Excuse me."

The butler hurriedly said, "The master is too serious, and it's just for internal affairs."

Shen Yanbei smiled and let the housekeeper go busy.

When the housekeeper retired, the doubts in his heart were bigger than one.

Which girl or son does his master want to marry? Why is it so mysterious? I didn't see him looking for a matchmaker to come to talk to each other, nor did I see which one he had shown to him!

Thinking of the people who had been asking themselves to inquire about Shen Yanbei's marriage since the opening of the mansion, the housekeeper couldn't help but shook his head and laughed.

His elder is so young and talented, he has a bright future, and he is gentle and humble. It would be a great blessing to be a son-in-law, but it is a pity that his elder belongs to his heart.

I just don't know what kind of person his master wants to marry home?

Thinking that Shen Yanbei had instructed him to do all this before May 18, the butler thought that maybe he would know who the other party was that day.

On Qingming Day, the weather was unexpectedly good, and his wife was not there, so Shen Yanbei went alone to offer incense to the town official. Mrs. Guo Gong was placed under house arrest, and the Guo Gong Mansion should be cautious about the servants, and the door was not opened until the master Gu Changfeng returned. Without the master, there would be no sacrificial items in the Guogong's mansion, so Shen Yanbei prepared a generous offering to worship the town Guogong.

The sun became more and more poisonous every day, and the hot and dry wind blew over one after another, and the Zhizhi in the woods began to make endless noises again. When the Tongfu restaurant was buying a large number of cicada pupae, the wheat in the field was blown by the hot wind, and the wheat became yellow overnight.

The villagers downstairs looked at the Maisui shaking his head in the sultry wind and couldn't help himself. The village chief sent someone to inform Shen Yanbei. Shen Yanbei, who rushed over after receiving the news, also brought several officials over.

He posted the emperor's list on Chang'an Street. If there are capable people who can study the law of increasing grain production, he unveiled the imperial list that offered a reward of 100,000 gold, and now bring someone to confirm it.

Seeing the undulating golden wheat waves, several officials did not dare to be sloppy, and immediately went to inspect the wheat fields.

Southern rice has changed the peasants’ solidified planting pattern due to the sinking of Yanbei, which doubled the output of rice. If there is a way to increase wheat production in the south, it will definitely be a blessing to thousands of people in the north.

Under the gaze of everyone's expectations, the villagers quickly harvested the wheat, and then loaded the truck to the threshing field to thresh the wheat.

Three days later, after going down early, Shen Yanbei went to the Yushufang and presented to Zhao Yu a collection of the cultivation and management methods of various crops that he had organized.

Zhao Yu, who was habitually cold and open, couldn't help but feel moved after reading the book. He raised his eyes to see Shen Yanbei: "I admire Shen Qing for his erudition."

"The emperor has been praised!" Shen Yanbei smiled modestly and looked directly at Zhao Yu.

No need to say compliments, money is the business!

Zhao Yu and him looked at each other for a moment, meaning unclearly: "Aiqing is indeed a funny person, no wonder Qingze has a lot of respect for you." After saying that, he ordered people to open his own private library and take one hundred thousand taels of silver to Shen. Yanbei.

Regardless of whether he meant anything else in his words, Shen Yanbei went home happily holding his silver.

In the spring of the sixth year of Jianyuan, on May 18th, the elder of the Zhenguo prince, Gu Zhongxiao, returned to the court, and at the same time escorted the barbarians and other royal members into Beijing.

The first ministers headed by the prime minister stood at the gate of the city to greet each other, and the emperor Zhao Yu chartered the son of Zhen Guo Gong directly into the palace without dismounting.

This is the grace of the emperor, and it is also the glory of the government of Zhenguo. Gu Changfeng cannot refuse. After a brief greeting with the prime minister, Gu Changfeng was invited to the horse, and the excited generals marched into the city.

These red tapes made Gu Changfeng's eyebrow frown on the red horse, and a trace of impatience passed through his eyes.

Recently, his mood has been ups and downs, and he always feels inexplicably irritable. He doesn't know whether it is too exhausted to drive, or the noise on the side of the road is annoying.

Lights and colorful lights are everywhere in the city, and it is beaming. Seeing the army marching into the city, the welcoming people suddenly cheered loudly. The cheers filled their ears, making Gu Changfeng cold when he was not in a good mood.

The man sitting on the horse was expressionless, his eyes were cold, and his majesty was full. This made it embarrassing and difficult to see Gu Changfeng being run by Gu Qingyao.

Those in the terrible situation were amazed.

This is Gu Chongxiao, who was reticent in the past, who was bullied by his half-sisters and subordinates so that he did not dare to resist? No wonder he can catch the barbarians sweating alive. It is true that if there is no iconic pregnant mole between the eyebrows, no one would put this strong, resolute and cold-faced man with Gu Zhongxiao of the year!

Gu Changfeng didn't care at all whether the gazes looking straight at him were shock, awe, or fear. His gaze traveled through the crowd for a while, but he didn't find the person he wanted to see, and his face tightened.

Enduring the confusion in his ears, Gu Changfeng suppressed his irritability and followed the crowd into the palace.

...

Walking quickly into the Jinluan Temple, suddenly a hot gaze shot over.

Gu Changfeng glanced at him and found a more handsome and upright young man in a crimson official uniform staring at him with a smile, his eyes eager and joyful.

The inner restlessness was relieved in an instant.

Gu Chang was able to hold his mind, and stepped forward a few steps and bowed his head: "Gu Zhongxiao, the minister, see the emperor!"

"Gu Qing is free!" Zhao Yu praised a number of soldiers, and did not come to nothing, and directly rewarded them.

The imperial decree of the award was read one after another, and among them was the imperial decree that allowed Gu Changfeng to inherit the Duke of Zhenguo.

"Feng Tian, ​​the emperor said: Gu Chongxiao, the elder son of Zhenguo Gongfu, has excellent martial arts, brave and good at war, and captured barbarians and sweats. He can really bear the responsibility! Now he inherits the title of his father Zhen Guoguo, and I hope you will not forget that it is his father. Zhi, loyal to the emperor and defending the country! Thank you for this!

The promotion to the state official was originally expected, so Gu Changfeng was not surprised: "The minister accepted the order! Thank you Lord Longen!"

The servant smiled, and then opened an imperial decree: "Follow God, the emperor's edict said: When Gu Chongxiao, the country's official in this town, is suitable for marriage, he should choose a good partner. Shen Yan, a cabinet bachelor, did not marry, his Wen Qian Huimin, quite The style of a gentleman can be called a heavenly setting with the Lord of the town! For the beauty of becoming a beautiful woman, we have specially ordered marriage. The people are based on the prosperity of the country and the family is prosperous. I hope that you two will have the same heart and morality. Thank you!"

Gu Changfeng was taken aback, staring blankly at the servant who read the imperial edict.

Before he could react, Shen Yanbei stepped forward.

He raised his hands, and said loudly in the surprised eyes of a minister:

"Chen Yan took the order! Thank you Lord Longen!"
