The two families decided on an auspicious date for delivering the betrothal gifts that day.

Just seven days later, it was the auspicious day that everyone said was extremely auspicious.

It’s no wonder that Gu Yan was so anxious. After all, he had been looking forward to this day for a long time.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye it is the auspicious day when Gu Yan goes to the Gu Mansion to present the betrothal gift.

Early in the morning, just as the sky was getting light, Gu Cheng could not wait to order his servants to clean the area in front of his mansion thoroughly, leaving not even a fallen leaf.

Afterwards, he waited anxiously in the main hall of the mansion early in the morning, eagerly waiting.

"Gu Lang, could you please stop pacing back and forth like this?"

Wang, who was standing by, couldn't bear to see her husband fidgeting any more, and couldn't help but scold him. At the same time, she reached out and gently touched her forehead, with a helpless look on her face.

After hearing what his wife said, Gu Cheng suddenly realized that his behavior was indeed a bit inappropriate, but then he thought, today is the big day when his beloved only daughter is about to be betrothed, how can he remain calm and composed?

At this moment, a noisy voice came from outside the door: "My dear, they are coming! The betrothal team is almost at the gate of the mansion!"

It turned out that it was the servant in charge of guarding the gate who came trotting over to report the good news.

Hearing this, Gu Cheng was delighted, and hurried out of the door with the people in the mansion.

Looking closely, I saw that the team coming from the Fuguo Mansion to deliver the betrothal gifts was huge and spectacular!

The person in the lead was the steward of the General's Mansion, and behind him followed a team of well-trained attendants. Each of these people had an upright stature and walked steadily, and it was obvious that they were all extraordinary people.

The entire team was arranged in an orderly manner, and exuded a majestic aura as they marched that could not be underestimated.

In fact, among these many people, a considerable number were soldiers who once served in the Tong Family Army.

Later, they retired from the army for various reasons, but fortunately, they were eventually taken in by Gu Yan and incorporated into his army to become palace soldiers responsible for guarding the Duke's Mansion.

As this majestic and powerful team marched slowly forward, the people watching around them all cast glances of amazement and admiration at them.

Everyone was talking among themselves and praising this well-trained team.

Not only that, many families even came up with the idea of ​​recruiting retired soldiers as their own soldiers.

After all, who doesn't want to have a guard force as powerful and reliable as this?

At this moment, the long gift-giving team finally arrived at the gate of Gu Mansion.

The butler had been waiting for a long time. He held a long gift list in his hand. After clearing his throat, he began to read it out loudly: "A pair of wild geese!"

Before he finished speaking, there was a slight commotion and exclamations from the crowd. What spirited geese!

Then, the housekeeper continued to read: "The betrothal gift is one hundred thousand taels of silver!"

As soon as these words were spoken, it was like a stone that caused a thousand ripples. The scene suddenly exploded and exclamations rang out one after another.

Someone couldn't help but murmured, "My God, the betrothal gift alone is as high as 100,000 taels of silver! This is probably more than enough to marry a princess!"

Another person also echoed, "That's right! I never thought that this young Duke is so rich and has such a strong family background!"
