My Favorite Manly Husband

The spring is warm, and the fields are full of busy villagers preparing for spring plowing.Because the treasure was put in the test field, since returning to Beijing from the border, Shen Yan spent most of his time in the field when he was resting in the north.

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 [-] acres of winter wheat meticulously.

The hundreds of acres of peppers planted last year were all frozen to death. Shen Yanbei asked people to pull out the pepper seedlings and clear the land for planting spring wheat.The seeds used for raising seedlings are high-quality spring wheat seeds left over from last year.In addition, Shen Yanbei bought land to grow peppers again.The market prospect of pepper is huge. This time, he not only bought the land to plant it himself, but also mobilized the villagers to plant it together.He distributed pepper seeds free of charge to the villagers in the downstairs village, and taught the villagers how to grow peppers, intending to promote this species.

He is not ambitious, and he is not obsessed with money. His current status has brought enough convenience to his life, and he really doesn't have that much energy to make money.

For this reason, the villagers in the downstairs village almost wept with joy. Apart from being grateful to Shen Yanbei, they also paid more attention to taking care of the crops in the field.

Last year's bountiful harvest of spring wheat has made the villagers realize that the number one scholar is a fairy planting the land. This year, everyone followed Shen Yanbei's footsteps without hesitation. Take care of your own land.

Shen Yanbei was happy to hear about this.It is a good thing that the common people can learn from their own experience to promote agricultural development and finally become rich.Although he doesn't have much sense of identity with this country, he is still willing to do his best within his ability to eat the king's fortune and worry about the king's worries.

He told the villagers to keep a record of the growth of the crops, and Shen Yanbei would come to the field to have a look when he was free, so that he could take care of the field and prepare for the wedding at the same time.

That's right, he has already discussed the imperial decree with Zhao Yu, and the wedding will be held as soon as he returns to Beijing!

It can be regarded as a surprise for his wife, it has been delayed long enough, it is time to fulfill the original promise!

Shen Yanbei happily wrote a letter to be sent to Shenjia Village.I haven't been back for two years, and I don't know how the village is.Qingming is coming, he can't go back, so he has to ask the village head to help take care of the house, and by the way, he will go to the grave of Shen's father and mother to make a confession.

Looking at the withered peach blossoms outside the window, Shen Yanbei's expression was in a trance for a moment.

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

In the first two years, my daughter-in-law and I planted fields and raised ducks in the village, and our days were leisurely and comfortable; in the middle two years, we were busy studying and rushing for exams; in the next year, we each went to work. get closer.

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

...But it's okay now.

Thinking of the majestic man riding on a tall horse covered in armor and holding a silver spear, Shen Yanbei's eyes softened.

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

Putting down the pen, Shen Yanbei turned around and called the butler over.

He bought a three-entry house and listed it as the Shen Mansion.Because I am not familiar with the process of getting married here, I had no choice but to find a butler to come back, first to help prepare for the wedding, and second to take care of the household chores by the way.

The two people in the family used to be very casual, but now that they have entered the officialdom, they have to communicate with each other. He and his wife are not good at handling these matters, so they have to ask the housekeeper to help them.

Right now, everything in the mansion has been rearranged, the yard has been refurbished, and the martial arts field has been split.The newly made furniture was sent to the new house, and the quilts and bed curtains were all replaced with festive bright red. The dresses customized by the best tailor and embroiderer in Yongjing City will be delivered in half a month...

Seems to be pretty much set up.

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

After listening to it no less than a hundred times, Shen Yanbei is still not used to this name, coughed lightly and said: "I asked you to buy the items written on the list, but have you done everything properly?"

"Master, the red coral and pearls have to be transported from the south. It will take some time, and the rest will be delivered in two days."

Shen Yanbei nodded: "Please worry about it."

The housekeeper hurriedly said: "Master's words are serious, it's just a matter of business."

Shen Yanbei smiled and asked the housekeeper to go.

When the butler withdrew, the doubts in his heart became bigger and bigger.

Which lady or son does his master want to marry?Why is it so mysterious?I didn't see him ask a matchmaker to come to talk about marriage, and I didn't see him expressing anything to any family!

Thinking of those people who have been looking for him to inquire about Shen Yanbei's marriage since the establishment of the mansion, the housekeeper couldn't help shaking his head and laughing.

His family's master is so young and talented, with a promising future, and he is gentle and humble. It would be a great blessing to be his son-in-law, but it's a pity that his family's master has his own heart.

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

Thinking of Shen Yanbei's instruction that he must finish all this before May [-]th, the housekeeper thought to himself, maybe on that day he would be able to know who the other party was.

On the day of Qingming, the weather was unexpectedly good, and his wife was not there, so Shen Yanbei went to offer incense to Lord Zhen Guo by himself.The Duke's wife was under house arrest, and the servants of the Duke's Mansion were cautious, and the door would not be opened until the master, Gu Changfeng, came back.Without the owner present, there would be no sacrificial items in the Duke's mansion, so Shen Yanbei prepared generous sacrifices to worship the Duke of Zhen.

The sun is getting worse day by day, and the dry and hot wind blows one after another, and the cicadas in the woods start to make endless noises again.Just when Tongfu Restaurant was buying a large number of cicada pupae, the wheat in the field was blown by the hot wind and turned yellow overnight.

The villagers in the downstairs village couldn't help but look at the wheat ears shaking their heads in the sweltering wind, and the village chief hurriedly sent someone to inform Shen Yanbei.Shen Yanbei rushed over after receiving the news and brought several officials over.

He uncovered the emperor's list posted on Chang'an Avenue offering a reward of [-] gold to anyone capable of researching the law of increasing grain production, and now he brought someone to confirm.

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

Because of Shen Yanbei, rice in the south has changed the solidified planting mode of farmers and doubled the output of rice. If there is a way to increase the production of wheat in a large amount, it will definitely be a blessing for thousands of people in the north.

Under the eyes of everyone's expectation, the villagers quickly harvested the wheat, and then loaded it into a truck and took it to the threshing ground for threshing.

Three days later, Shen Yanbei went to the imperial study and presented to Zhao Yu the collection of planting and management methods for various crops that he had sorted out.

Zhao Yu, who habitually kept a cold face, couldn't help but feel moved after reading the book, and raised his eyes to look at Shen Yanbei: "I deeply admire Shen Qing's erudition."

"The emperor's reputation is too high!" Shen Yanbei smiled modestly, looking straight at Zhao Yu.

There is no need to say compliments, giving money is the business!

Zhao Yu and him looked at each other for a moment, then said with unclear meaning: "Aiqing is indeed a funny person, no wonder Qingze respects you so much." After finishing speaking, he ordered someone to open his own private treasury and take 10 taels of silver to Shen Yanbei.

Shen Yanbei didn't care if there was any other meaning in his words, and went home happily holding the money.

In the sixth year of Jianyuan, in the spring, on May [-]th, Gu Chongxiao, the son of the Duke of Zhenguo, returned to the imperial court, and at the same time escorted the captured barbarian Khan King Uso and other members of the royal family to Beijing.

A group of ministers in the court headed by the prime minister stood at the gate of the city to greet each other, and the emperor Zhao Yu authorized the son of the Duke of Zhen to enter the palace directly without dismounting his horse.

This is the emperor's favor, and it is also the honor of the Zhen Guo government, Gu Changfeng cannot refuse.After a brief exchange of greetings with the prime minister and others, Gu Changfeng was invited to mount the imperial horse, and led a group of excited soldiers into the city.

These red tapes made Gu Changfeng, who was riding on a red and colorful imperial horse, frowned slightly, and a hint of impatience flashed in his eyes.

Recently, his mood has been fluctuating greatly, and he always feels inexplicably irritable, and he doesn't know whether it is because he is too tired from the journey, or the cicadas on the side of the road are annoying.

There are lights and festoons everywhere in the city, and there is a lot of joy.Seeing the army entering the city, the welcoming people immediately cheered loudly, and the cheers filled their ears, making Gu Changfeng, who was originally in a bad mood, feel cold.

The man sitting on the horse was expressionless, his eyes were cold and majestic, which made it embarrassing and difficult to witness Gu Changfeng being squeezed by Gu Qingyao's words back then.

Those who were in such a terrible situation were amazed.

This is Gu Chongxiao, who used to be taciturn and was bullied by his half-sister and servants so much that he didn't even dare to resist?No wonder he was able to capture Barbarian Khan alive. In fact, if there was no iconic pregnancy mole between his eyebrows, no one would have combined this man with a strong figure and a resolute and stern face with Gu Chongxiao back then!

Gu Changfeng didn't care at all whether those eyes that looked at him directly were shocked, awed, or fearful. His eyes wandered through the crowd for a while, but he didn't find the person he wanted to see, and his face became more tense.

Suppressing the noise in his ears, Gu Changfeng suppressed the irritability in his heart and followed everyone into the palace to face the saint.

……

Walking quickly into the Golden Luan Hall, suddenly a fiery gaze shot over.

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

The inner mania was instantly soothed.

Gu Changfeng settled down, stepped forward a few steps and bowed his head, saying: "My minister, Gu Chongxiao, sees the emperor!"

"Gu Qing is free of courtesy!" Zhao Yu commended a group of officers and men, and did not pretend to be false, and directly rewarded them for their merits.

The imperial decrees of the rewards were read out one after another, among them was the imperial decree for Gu Changfeng to inherit the title of Duke of Zhenguo.

"By God's blessing, the emperor's edict said: Gu Chongxiao, the eldest son of the Duke of Zhen, has superb martial arts skills, is brave and good at fighting, and captured the barbarian sweat. He is indeed worthy of great responsibility! Now he is ordered to inherit the title of Duke of Zhen from his father. I hope you will never forget that he is the son of his father Chi, loyal to the monarch and defending the country! I respect this!"

The promotion to Duke was originally expected, so Gu Changfeng was not surprised: "I accept the order! Thank you Lord Long En!"

The servant smiled, and then opened another imperial decree: "Following the fate of the heavens, the emperor said: When Gu Chongxiao, the Duke of the Township, is suitable for marriage, he should choose a virtuous man to match him. Shen Yan, a cabinet scholar, is not married. He is gentle, modest, and intelligent. The style of a gentleman, and the Duke of Zhen, can be called a match made in heaven! For the beauty of a beautiful woman, a marriage is specially decreed. The people are based on the fact that the prosperity of the country is related to the prosperity of the family. I hope that the two of you will be of one heart and one mind, and respect the country. Don’t let me down. Here it is!"

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

Before he could react, Shen Yanbei stepped out first.

He raised his hands high, and under the astonished eyes of a group of ministers, he said loudly:

"Chen Yan accepts the order! Thank you Lord Long En!"
