In the next few days, Su Ping didn't go out to play anymore.

I have recognized the path that should be taken, and spent the money that should be spent. I have shown considerable respect for the good intentions of the Duke's government.

The only thing that puzzled Su Ping was that Shen Yushu seemed to have forgotten him. He had ignored him for several days and had no news at all.

But soon, Su Ping put this doubt behind him.

No matter what, I just take advantage of this time to copy more books. This is the only one that truly belongs to me.

In this way, Su Ping forgot both about things and me, and was completely immersed in copying books.

It was not until the tenth day after Su Ping arrived in Yangjing that Shen Yushu arrived late.

This night.

Su Ping was reading, and he was completely lost in selflessness, until Shen Yushu's voice sounded behind him.

"It seems you are very used to living here."

"Well."

Su Ping turned around in shock.

Shen Yushu changed into a cloud-green gown and was looking at himself calmly.

"There is nothing that I am not accustomed to. If you can study, it will be the same everywhere."

Su Ping laughed, stood up and saluted Shen Yushu, "I've met the Third Young Master."

Shen Yushu nodded and walked to the window with his hands behind his back.

For some reason, Su Ping always felt that Shen Yushu was a little different today.

"Third Young Master."

Su Ping walked over and stood side by side with Shen Yushu, "But what changes has the Duke made to my arrangements?"

Shen Yushu shook his head: "Before we arrived in Beijing, my grandfather rushed back to the north on the emperor's order."

"I see."

Su Ping nodded, not too surprised by this.

These days, Su Ping got a brief understanding from Zhiqin and Zhihua.

The Duke of Ding, Shen Tiannan, has been guarding the border for many years since he defeated the barbarians in the last battle, protecting the peace of the northern border for more than ten years.

I have only returned to Beijing twice in the past ten years. The first time I stayed for at least a year, but this time it was less than half a year. I spent less time with my family and more time away from home. It was really hard work and great achievements.

"In the past few days, several elders have been discussing arrangements for you."

Shen Yushu looked at the dimly lit Yangjing and said slowly.

"Actually, it doesn't have to be so troublesome."

Su Ping tentatively suggested, "Being able to read and write here every day is the best arrangement for me."

"You like it here?"

Shen Yushu turned his head and glanced at Su Ping.

"I would also like to thank Third Young Master for telling me the true face of Confucianism and Taoism."

Su Ping expressed his sincere thanks, "There are so many books here that can help me get into Confucianism and Taoism. Of course I like them."

"Then things will be simple."

Shen Yushu smiled and said: "As long as you agree to one condition, you can stay here as long as you want. Food, clothing, housing, transportation, gold, silver, jewelry, calligraphy and painting books, all your requirements can be met."

"Huh? What's the matter?"

Su Ping was stunned and looked at Shen Yushu doubtfully.

Under his gaze, Shen Yushu slowly uttered a few words.

"Entering the Duke's Mansion."

"...Marriage-in-law?"

Su Ping was a little suspicious and quickly raised his hand, "Wait a minute, you still have sisters?"

"She is my younger sister, my ancestor's favorite granddaughter, and the only legitimate daughter of the Shen family in my generation."

After Shen Yushu finished speaking, he paused and said without blushing, "This is enough to prove that I value you."

Su Ping did not refute this statement.

With the Shen family declining like this, every descendant must be cherished, even if they are daughters.

"But... with my background, this shouldn't be the case."

After thinking about it, Su Ping suddenly took half a step back and asked vigilantly: "Is it possible that you, my younger sister, have any... flaws?"

"..."

Shen Yushu was speechless.

In his expectation, Su Ping's first reaction would be anger, and he might explode or even punch himself.

Why did you think of defects?

Shen Yushu took a deep breath, composed himself and said, "My sister is good at calligraphy and dancing."

Good at calligraphy and dancing?

This shows that there is nothing wrong with the body and there is nothing wrong with the brain.

So why are you worried about getting married? You still have to use the method of recruiting a bride.

Su Ping was even more confused.

"My aunt has only one daughter left. If she marries outside..."

Shen Yushu explained, "We really can't bear it."

Su Ping finally understood.

This is what feelings are all about.

The eldest mistress died, her husband died, and her son died, leaving her only daughter with her. If she got married, she would be all alone.

As for whether he was afraid of being bullied, or whether he really didn't want to let go of his daughter, Su Ping had never met him, so he couldn't judge for himself.

"But the question is, why choose me?"

Su Ping asked again, "I don't believe that I can't find anyone in Yangjing who is willing to join the Duke's mansion..."

The Duke's Mansion, what is the concept?

Let’s not say they are inferior to one person, but they are definitely among the top few in Yangjing.

As long as the news is released to the outside world, Su Ping is sure that the threshold will have to be repaired several times that day.

As for myself, I am just a wild boy from a remote country, with no father, no mother, no wealth and no power, although I am indeed good-looking...

Could it be that on the day she first came to the Duke's Mansion, Miss Shen saw herself and then fell in love and couldn't extricate herself?

"..."

Shen Yushu felt that Su Ping's reaction was not quite right, and quickly added: "My ancestors are leading the army in the north, so it is not appropriate to get involved with the forces in the capital. And since you are from Anping County and are my benefactor, you are actually the most suitable candidate."

"I see……"

Su Ping was a little embarrassed, but immediately realized something was wrong, frowned and asked: "Do you know, Third Young Master, that there is only one male in the Su family left?"

Didn't you bring me to Yangjing to repay your kindness?

Recruiting me as your wife will cut off the Su family's incense. Is this called repaying a favor?

This is because the soul is different, so the reaction is a bit slower.

If the original person were here, I am afraid he would have been furious and walked away.

"Know."

Shen Yushu nodded apologetically, "But you can rest assured that the Duke's government will never treat you badly. As long as you agree to marry into the family, any conditions can be negotiated. And unlike the previous dynasty, marrying into the family in Daqing will not result in a lowly status. It is not necessary at all.

It will affect your participation in the imperial examination."

Hearing this, Su Ping fell silent.

He came through time travel and was not bound by the concept of bloodline, so he naturally saw something more profound.

When it comes to getting married, let’s talk about the benefits first.

First of all, from a village boy in the mountains to the son-in-law of the prince, his social status has been greatly improved.

Probably from chicken tail to phoenix tail.

Maybe in the elite class, the son-in-law of the Duke of Guo is just a small person, but it is still not something that ordinary people can compare to.

Secondly, in the past few days, living conditions have changed dramatically.

No need to worry about the land, no need to scrimp on food and clothing.
To be continued...
