My Favorite Manly Husband

Shen Yanbei, who was relaxed after the exam, dragged Gu Changfeng through the streets and alleys every day, where there was delicious food to taste, where there was good-looking food to look at, life was extremely carefree.

William, who came to Beijing with them, had been excited to make friends after seeing many foreigners in Yongjing, and they didn't care about them at all.But Su Qingze, who used to go out with the emperor every day, didn't go out these few days.

Shen Yanbei thought that there would be no result until the eighth day of March, but before that, he had to transcribe, proofread, and grade the papers. Could it be that the emperor wanted to participate in it and didn't have time to accompany him?So he asked Su Qingze: "We are going to visit the villages around the imperial city, are you going?"

"Ah?" Su Qingze was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "Go!"

A few people rented a carriage and went out of the city.

In March of Yangchun, the wind is sunny, the willows are green and the flowers are pink, and the fields are full of greenery.The wheat that has survived the cold winter stands up straight, and the emerald green leaves sway gently in the spring breeze, which makes people feel joyful.

Shen Yanbei walked and observed all the way.The farmland here is almost all dry land. Nearly half of the dry land is planted with winter wheat, and the rest of the dry land is still vacant. He asked the nearby villagers and learned that these lands are used to grow sorghum, millet, corn and peanuts.There are few paddy fields, which are generally used to grow glutinous rice.

The 120 mu of fertile land he bought was in a village called Downstairs. The land was originally in the hands of a high-ranking official, but later he was imprisoned and his home was confiscated for committing crimes.

The head of the downstairs village heard that the new owner of the [-]-acre land came and hurried to greet him.At the foot of the imperial city, anyone you meet casually may be the son of an official, and ordinary people like them can't afford to mess with them.

Seeing that Shen Yanbei and the others were dressed richly, had decent temperament, and were traveling with their servants, the village head hurriedly said: "I have met some young masters!"

Shen Yanbei returned the gift: "I'm sorry to bother you, I've bought some fields here, and I'm going to prepare for spring plowing now, I want to go and have a look at the fields..."

Shen Yanbei was so polite, the village chief smiled and said to take them there.Hearing Shen Yanbei's non-capital accent, the village chief asked a few more questions, and only then did he learn that Shen Yanbei was a candidate who came to Beijing for the exam.

There are so many dignitaries in the capital, one person is really nothing, but it will make a big difference if you pass the entrance examination, and Gu Changfeng and Su Qingze are not from ordinary people at first glance. The village chief dare not neglect and ask carefully. "The son bought land here, but do you plan to settle here?"

"Indeed." Shen Yanbei smiled embarrassingly, "My husband's natal family is here, so it's easier to live close by."

The village head was stunned, seeing Shen Yanbei looking at Gu Changfeng with a smile on his face, his eyes widened in shock.

This... This tall and burly man is actually a twin, or is this son's husband? !

"Yanbei..." Gu Changfeng was also surprised.

For him, Shen Yanbei had to leave his hometown and settle in Yongjing, an unfamiliar place?

Su Qingze's eyes were a bit complicated, and more than that, he was envious.

Several people went to the field, and Shen Yanbei looked around: "This land is pretty good." In the north, the sky is high and the land is wide, the land is flat, and hundreds of mu of fertile land stretches as far as the eye can see, and the soil is dark and fertile, which is very suitable for large-scale planting crop.

Chatting with the village head, I learned that the tenants who had rented this land to plant had lost their livelihoods due to the confiscation of the land. Many people couldn’t find suitable jobs for a while and complained. Shen Yanbei thought about it and asked the village head: " In a few days, when the temperature rises again, we will have to sow seeds and raise seedlings. I need a lot of good farmers here, can you ask them if they are willing to help me plant the land?"

The village chief was overjoyed: "Yes, I'll ask when I turn around."

Seeing that Shen Yanbei was very concerned about farming, the village head introduced to him the planting and harvesting of the crops while walking.

"I heard that someone in the south came up with an ingenious plan to double the yield of paddy rice per mu. Unfortunately, there are very few paddy fields here, and only one season of rice can be planted, and the harvest time is too long, so it is not suitable." The village chief sighed.

Do ordinary people know this news?The emperor's hands and feet are also special!

Shen Yanbei was surprised, and the village chief said again: "Some time ago, the emperor asked people to post a yellow list on the bulletin board. If someone can increase the production of wheat and other crops, he can post the list and receive a reward. The reward depends on how much the increase is. The highest can be Up to [-] gold. The common people were overjoyed when they heard it, and the good farmers were eager to try it, but no one announced the list for a long time..."

"I've been waiting day and night for an expert to make a move!"

One hundred thousand gold?Shen Yanbei's eyes widened slightly, his heart pounding.

Su Qingze and Gu Changfeng walked behind, seeing that the boy didn't talk much all the way, Gu Changfeng frowned slightly: "What's wrong? Why aren't you happy?"

Teenagers are lively by nature, and seldom have such listless moments.

"It's okay." Su Qingze kicked the stone on the ground without interest, "I just feel a little annoying."

Gu Changfeng looked at him gently with black eyes, and Su Qingze said in distress: "Heng took me around Yongjing City these days, it's really fun, that's..."

"It's just that I feel that the way he looks at me doesn't look like a good friend." Su Qingze said in a sad tone, "I don't know if it's just me being overwhelmed or it's the truth..." He stayed beside Shen Yanbei and Gu Changfeng. After so long, he had naturally seen how Shen Yanbei looked at Gu Changfeng, but he never thought that one day his best friend would look at him the same way Shen Yanbei looked at Gu Changfeng.

Gu Changfeng's eyes suddenly became complicated, and he asked hesitantly: "If he really treats you..., have you never been tempted?"

"A-Heng looks so good, so he treats me well..." Su Qingze said depressedly, "But you also know my situation. I didn't dare to think about it before, but I can't think about it now..."

Gu Changfeng didn't know what to say for a while.

Why didn't the emperor directly tell Su Qingze that he was the nobleman who was betrothed to him?

Is there a reason why it's inconvenient to say or...he wants Su Qingze to find out by himself?

Gu Changfeng couldn't understand this kind of approach, after all, Shen Yanbei had always been straightforward with him.

Tell him frankly that he likes him, misses him, wants him, and even tells him what kind of posture Huan Hao likes...

Thinking of this, Gu Changfeng's heart moved, and he subconsciously turned his head to look at Shen Yanbei. What he knew was that Shen Yanbei was also looking at him.

The two looked at each other, Gu Changfeng was burned by his hot gaze, and his Adam's apple rolled.

Shen Yanbei walked over to meet his gaze, and asked softly in his ear, "Why are you looking at me like this?"

Gu Changfeng felt feverish in his ears and shook his head.

Seeing the two of them like this, Su Qingze became even more depressed.

"Young man, it's a beautiful spring day, why do you look so sad?" Shen Yanbei asked with a smile while pulling Gu Changfeng's hand.

He saw the boy's abnormality, so he called him out.There is vacant cultivated land all around, and the place where they can hide is quite far away from them, so they can't hear them in the dark.

Shen Yanbei had always had a lot of ideas, so Su Qingze didn't think too much about it, and directly expressed his troubles.

Is this digging a hole for yourself to jump in?Hearing this, Shen Yanbei laughed uncontrollably in his heart but didn't show it on his face, and said, "What do you think?"

"Heng is very good, but I'm not good enough for him." Su Qingze lowered his eyes, his voice was a bit cold.

The young man was surprisingly sensible, and Shen Yanbei frowned: "It's better to ask him directly if he is interested in you than to worry about it alone. If he doesn't, you don't have to worry about it. If he does, you can just tell him the truth."

Su Qingze was silent for a moment.

Shen Yanbei patted him on the shoulder and comforted him: "Relax, the result is not as bad as you thought."

The emperor has not made it clear until now that it is not kind to leave the young man thinking blindly. He asked the young man to ask the emperor to give an explanation.

Knowing that speaking clearly is good for everyone.Su Qingze forced a smile.

When Shen Yanbei came to the downstairs village the next day, the village head had already summoned people to wait.

Shen Yanbei was also unambiguous, and immediately stated the requirements and remuneration. Those who are willing to farm for him will sign a contract with each other under the witness of the village chief.The contract was written in black and white, clearly stating that Shen Yanbei hired a certain place, what were the requirements, and what was the remuneration.

The original tenants were surprised to see Shen Yanbei being so straightforward, and started working with the commission Shen Yanbei had paid in advance.

Because it is planted in a large area and the pepper seeds are limited, Shen Yanbei is very careful and has done enough preparations before starting to grow seedlings.

At this time, the list of people who will try is out.

The turbulent crowd flocked to the bulletin board of the list like a tide, and the big black characters on the yellow list, such as "Jianyuan three years spring, the list of candidates in the February examination", came into everyone's eyes.

It's not like the examiner announces the names of the top ten candidates in the provincial examination. If you want to know who has won the examination, you have to squeeze in to see.

With the experience of the last time, Gu Changfeng no longer anxiously wanted to know whether Shen Yanbei had passed the high school, and Shen Yanbei himself was not in a hurry, but Zhou Yu went to join in the fun.Relying on the two moves he learned recently, he walked through the dense crowd and made it to the front of the yellow list with difficulty.

Zhou Yu stared at Huang Bang excitedly: "Huiyuan, from Qizhou, Suiyang County..."

Zhou Yu was taken aback for a moment, rubbed his eyes and looked again. It was indeed written that Huiyuan was Liu Zhixian from Qizhou.

Zhou Yu's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly looked down.

"No.2, from Dongjiang County, Qinghe County, Shen Yan."

The big stone in Zhou Yu's heart fell to the ground, he didn't care about looking at other things, and hurriedly squeezed out of the crowd to announce the good news.

"Son—"

Seeing Zhou Yi's excited expression, Gu Changfeng knew that Shen Yan had entered Beizhong, and asked casually, "What number?"

Zhou Yu glanced at Shen Yanbei first, and then carefully said, "Number...second."

After finishing speaking, he seemed to be worried about Shen Yanbei's lack of confidence, and hurriedly said: "The people who came to participate in the exam are the most outstanding talents from all over the world. My son, it is very remarkable that you can get No.2. Many people can't pass the exam in their entire lives. Woolen cloth!"

Shen Yanbei looked strange: "Are you trying to comfort me that I didn't get the reward?"

Zhou Yu smiled embarrassingly: "My lord..."

Shen Yanbei couldn't laugh or cry.He is not so arrogant that he thinks that he can beat local students just because he is wearing clothes.

"It doesn't matter if you are first or second, as long as you win, you can participate in the palace examination. Don't worry, I will try my best to get a better ranking."

"Hehe..." Zhou Yu scratched his head in embarrassment.

Will try to release the rankings, some happy and some sad.Shen Yanbei is not worried anymore, but there are many people who are worried.

Su Qingze is one of them.

Today, Zhao Yu was free to accompany him and asked him to go to enjoy the flowers together. Along the way, several times when he wanted to speak, he was blocked by the man's deep and gentle eyes.

The bright spring sun fell on the young man's delicate eyebrows and eyes, the young man stood quietly, his color was like spring flowers, but there was no joy of spring flowers blooming on his face.

Zhao Yu stretched out his hand to gently rub the top of his hair: "But you have something to say to me?"

Su Qingze took his hand down, took a deep breath, and met Zhao Yuyou's black eyes that were so deep that people could be sucked in: "Heng, you..."

"You like me?"

Zhao Yu's face was calm, and his thin lips parted lightly: "Yes."

Su Qingze's eyes flickered, and the hand under the sleeve clenched into a fist.Gritting his teeth for a moment, he said, "Ah Heng, I came to Yongjing with Brother Gu just to see you this time, and I will go back to Qinghe with them after the palace examination..." His tone suddenly became low as he spoke——

"Let's not contact each other in the future!"

Zhao Yu's eyes darkened, and anger surged: "Why?"

"I'm getting married." Su Qingze looked up at him, there seemed to be water shining in his black eyes, but his expression was relaxed and cheerful, "It's not suitable to get too close to other men."

Zhao Yu was taken aback for a moment, and the chill in his eyes dissipated.He looked straight at the boy, and his voice was soft like the wind: "Do you like me a little bit?"

Su Qingze just smiled: "Heng, you are so outstanding, and you are so gentle and considerate to others, no one would dislike you..."

Zhao Yu was not satisfied with this answer, but seeing the young man's forced smile, he didn't force him, but said: "Your Brother Gu and the others won't go back to Qinghe."

Su Qingze blinked, not quite understanding what he meant.

"He is Gu Chongxiao, the eldest son of the Duke of Zhen, and the Duke of Zhen is his home."

"And you..." Zhao Yu's eyes darkened, "Your home will be here in the future."
