If there were people who felt sorry for Shen Yanbei or gloated over Shen Yanbei's misfortune when they heard the imperial edict before, they realized that this Daqi even The youngest cabinet minister in the history of the previous dynasty was indeed willing and happy to marry the new Duke of Zhen.

Everyone felt incredible.

Gui is the only super first-rank official in Daqi, Duke Zhen is extremely capable and worthy of the name, but as a twin, he is not satisfactory.

There is no outstanding appearance, nor a soft waist, which can't arouse a man's pity and protective desire at all.

This Mr. Shen is outstanding, with quick thinking, he dares to think what ordinary people dare not think, dares to do what ordinary people dare not do, he did not expect that his liking is also unusual, and he actually likes a twin who is tougher than himself!

"Congratulations, both of you!" Zhang Youzheng walked out of the bewildered ministers, and took the lead to congratulate the two of them.

"Thank you, Mr. Zhang!" Shen Yanbei smiled and cupped his hands.

The prime minister saw that he was very happy, without any reluctance, he nodded secretly in his heart, and also stepped forward and said: "Congratulations to Lord Zhen and Master Shen."

Seeing that the leaders of the conservative faction and the reformist faction headed by the prime minister and Zhang Youzheng congratulated Shen Yanbei, they also stepped forward to congratulate Shen Yanbei.Shen Yanbei accepted them one by one with a smile on his face, and finally said to everyone: "The next day, May [-]th, is an auspicious day. If you adults are free, you can come and have a glass of wine."

...Even the date is set?

"Definitely!" Everyone was astonished and hurriedly responded with a smile.

"Then I'm waiting for you all to come!" Shen Yanbei smiled like a fool, and walked out of the hall holding Gu Changfeng's hand generously in front of everyone.

Gu Changfeng still felt a sense of unreality.He stared blankly at the young man in front of him with smiles on the corners of his eyes and brows. His thoughts fluctuated like waves, intertwined with sourness and sweetness, spreading and spreading, rushing straight to his heart, making his eyes a little astringent.

Are they a legitimate fiancé now?Can they be together in a fair manner?

Seeing that he didn't speak, Shen Yanbei only looked at himself with those dark eyes, and his heart softened: "What's wrong?"

The Adam's apple rolled, and Gu Changfeng's voice was hoarse: "Are we going to get married?"

"That's right!" Shen Yanbei clenched his hands tightly, "I have someone make the wedding dresses! You have a good rest tomorrow, and we will go to church the day after tomorrow!"

Gu Changfeng has a lot to say, if you marry me, will you be feared by others and affect your official career?What if I really can't get pregnant?But being looked at by the young man with such gentle and joyful eyes, all these invisible words turned into a "hmm".

Rubbing his tired brows, Shen Yanbei said warmly: "Go back and take a good bath first, then sleep, I'll do the rest, don't worry."

Gu Changfeng hasn't been back to Zhen Guogong's mansion for more than half a year, and there is also Zhen Guogong's wife in the mansion, no, it should be called Zhen Guogong's old lady now, he has to go back to see and explain the wedding in the mansion.

Gu Changfeng also knew this reason, although he felt a little bit reluctant, he still said: "Okay".

Sending the person to the gate of Zhen Guogong's mansion, Shen Yanbei let go of his hand and said, "Go."

He didn't even hug his wife for a while when he came back, and he felt regretful, but in the eyes of others, Gu Changfeng hadn't passed the door yet, so he didn't want to drag her back home in a big way.

When Gu Changfeng came back, it was as if the Zhen Guogong's mansion had found its backbone.The butler had asked someone to clean the house long ago, and ordered someone to open the main door, and ordered the servants to line up left and right to welcome the master back to the house.The imperial decree has been announced to the world, Gu Changfeng is the veritable master of the Duke's Mansion, and all the servants of the Duke's Mansion of Zhen Guo dare not disrespect.In addition, the entire city of Yongjing knew about the imperial decree of the marriage, and Shen Yanbei publicly said that the wedding date would be the day after tomorrow. The time was so tight that the house hadn't prepared anything yet. The housekeeper was anxious and asked Gu Changfeng for instructions. After that, the staffing will be arranged.

At this time, a servant guarding the gate came to report, saying that Shen's residence's betrothal gift had arrived, and the housekeeper arranged for someone to receive it, and at the same time sent someone to report to Gu Changfeng.

Gu Changfeng had just washed off his dusty body and was about to sleep for a while.In addition to being irritable, he has also been lethargic recently. He led the army all the way back to Beijing, traveling day and night, and did not have a good rest on the road.

Hearing that a servant came to report, Gu Changfeng frowned before going to the front hall.

A long team escorting the bride price lined up from the gate of Zhen Guogong's mansion to the street.

Wearing the same style and color of clothes, two strong men waited outside the door carrying a box decorated with red silk. The housekeeper of Shen's mansion and the housekeeper of Zhen Guogong's mansion were exchanging greetings.

"Because of time constraints, your house has not prepared any decorations for the auspicious day. My master ordered me to bring them together." In addition to the betrothal gift, the team also brought over the colorful silk and red paper used to decorate the house. And Gu Changfeng's dress.

The housekeeper of Zhen Guogong's mansion was not without emotion.Master Shen is really thoughtful!Only by this delicate thought can infer how much the other party attaches importance to this wedding.In other words, how much the other party cares about their town government.

On the road, the people who saw the escorting bride price team joked one after another.Duke Zhen just returned to the mansion and sent someone to give a betrothal gift. I'm afraid Mr. Shen wants to marry Duke Zhen right away?

Someone enthused about the obviously heavy betrothal gifts, and said sourly: "Hanlin officials are the poorest, where did he get the money to pay for these betrothal gifts? Could it be that he was corrupted during the disaster relief?"

These words were extremely embarrassing, and someone immediately scolded: "Master Shen just revealed the imperial list not long ago to offer suggestions for increasing grain production. The emperor honored his promise to reward him with 10 taels, and every penny used for disaster relief in Liuyang County was paid for." The registration is published. Why do these facts turn white into black in your mouth?"

"That's right! Slandering an imperial official will result in a lawsuit. You'd better go home and clean your stinky mouth before going out!"

"Others have the ability to earn their wife's capital, even if you are jealous!"

The bystanders defended Shen Yanbei with righteous indignation, the person who spoke did not dare to offend the public, and walked away in desperation.

Not to mention outsiders, even Gu Changfeng wondered where Shen Yanbei got so much money.

Looking at the boxes that crowded the yard, he went up and opened the first box.

Rows of brand-new gold ingots were stacked neatly in the box, and the yellow-orange light made him startled.At the beginning of the calculation, there are as many as 1 taels!

Open the second and third boxes, and inside are white silver ingots, the number of which is about [-].

Open the fourth box, some old-fashioned jewelry placed on red silk.Gu Changfeng stared at it for a while, and couldn't help reaching out to pick up a pair of heads to look at.

He has a rough and tough appearance, has never used makeup, and has never worn jewelry.But these jewelry that are obviously worn by women can be placed in the fourth box, which is enough to show the value of these jewelry.

It is not that the jewelry itself is valuable, but the meaning that these jewelry represent is precious.

The Shen family used to be rich, but when Shen Yanbei was down and down, he never took out these things to pawn, and he had never seen this thing, but at this moment, Shen Yanbei had someone send it over...

This was prepared by Shen's parents for their future daughter-in-law.

Gu Changfeng continued to open the fourth box with complicated emotions, and found that it contained a set of exquisite and magnificent accessories, including hair crowns, belts, and jade pendants.

Gu Changfeng pursed his lips. He liked all the accessories in this box, and it seemed that Shen Yanbei picked them according to his preferences.

Open the fifth box, inside is a very exotic dagger, the handle is decorated with gold and precious stones, it looks very luxurious.

Open the sixth chest...

Looking at the boxes one by one, Gu Changfeng's eyes became hot, and the more he looked, the more worried he became.Shen Yanbei wouldn't have gone bankrupt just because he wanted to buy these betrothal gifts for him, right?

There are everything in the warehouse of the Duke of Zhen Guo, and he does not lack these things at all...

"The betrothal gift has been delivered, the younger one will go back to report." The housekeeper of the Shen residence said with a respectful expression.

Before, he was wondering who his master was going to marry, but he heard the news that the emperor had bestowed a marriage on his master and Lord Zhen Guo. He was relieved by the warm reception from the public housekeeper.

His master really wants to marry Duke Zhen who looks as tough as a man!

Gu Changfeng took a deep breath, suppressed the enthusiasm in his eyes, and asked the housekeeper to send him out.

Because I have something in my heart, I can't fall asleep even if I lie in bed.When it's time for dinner, one person has no appetite for the delicious food on the table, so he picks up two chopsticks and barely fills his stomach without interest.

After finally staying up until night, Gu Changfeng immediately changed into his clothes and sneaked into the night.

A red lantern hung high at the gate of the Shen residence, telling the outside world that the master of the Shen residence's happy event was just around the corner.

Red curtains were wrapped around the walls and eaves of the Shen residence, and red lanterns were dotted throughout the Shen residence, especially the main house where the owner of the Shen residence lived was decorated with lights and festoons, and it was decorated in a very festive manner.

Gu Changfeng fell from the roof, and at a glance, everywhere he looked was pasted with big red happy characters.

The light was still on in the room, obviously the young man was still awake.

He pushed the door lightly and entered, and the door made a "babbling" sound, which alarmed the people in the room.The young man sitting at the table suddenly turned his head and saw his eyes suddenly lit up.

"Why are you here?" Shen Yanbei put down the pen in his hand and walked over quickly.

The young man seemed to have just taken a bath, he was wearing a crescent-white tunic, his half-dry long hair was hanging behind him, and the warm yellow light fell on his gentle and smiling eyebrows, making one's heart feel warm.

Hugging him tightly, Gu Changfeng buried his head on the side of his neck, and took a deep breath of the refreshing smell of Shen Yanbei's body.

It's rare to see a man so emotional.Shen Yanbei hugged him back, and asked softly: "What's wrong?"

"Can't sleep." Gu Changfeng muffled.

Shen Yanbei stroked his back lightly, and smiled lightly: "I'll sleep with you?"

Gu Changfeng was noncommittal, and it only took a moment to get emotional, so he let go, looked at Shen Yanbei and asked seriously: "Did you spend all your wealth on the betrothal gift?"

Shen Yanbei was taken aback for a moment, and then laughed: "You can't fall asleep because of this, right?"

Gu Changfeng nodded.Shen Yanbei was happy, pulled him to the table and sat down, poured him a glass of water: "The business of the main store and branch stores is good, and they have made a lot of money in the past two years, as well as the pickled vegetables business. Just deposit enough liquidity and transfer the rest of the money.”

"Oh, and the 10 taels rewarded by the imperial court and some other rewards..."

Gu Changfeng breathed a sigh of relief: "It doesn't take so much..."

"Afraid that I will lose everything?" Shen Yanbei twitched his lips, "Then you support me, anyway, I gave you all the money."

Gu Changfeng frowned: "These are originally yours, don't you think that you use your things to support you..." As he was speaking, Gu Changfeng suddenly stopped.

He remembered the time when Shen Yanbei couldn't open the fire at home and asked the villagers to ask for the rent of the field.

"This is family money. You are my daughter-in-law. If I don't give it to you, who will I give it to?"

The young man patted his hand and forced most of the money to him, saying it was handed over to the family.

Gu Changfeng's eye sockets turned red all of a sudden.

Seeing this, Shen Yanbei hurriedly comforted: "Mine is you, but it's just a formality, and you are now the Duke of the state, rich and powerful, so I still earned it!"

"Yanbei..."

Gu Changfeng's mind was agitated, and he called out in a hoarse voice. Shen Yanbei kissed the side of his face, and sighed with a smile: "At the beginning, I promised that Shili Hongzhuang would marry you, but now I can barely do it. Don't think too much about it. More, be happy and wait for me to pick you up."

"it is good."

Shen Yanbei looked at the blue and black under his eyes distressedly: "It's getting late, should you go to sleep?"

"Ah."

Lying beside the young man, Gu Changfeng felt peaceful, his tense nerves soon relaxed, and sleepiness swept over him as soon as his body and mind relaxed.

The moment he closed his eyes, Gu Changfeng was still thinking: Is it because he was finally able to fulfill his wish that he became inexplicably sentimental?
