What a sin! The most handsome lazy man in the village married a crazy woman.

Chapter 461: A prosperous era requires civil officials

The marriage proposal was just made today, and Master Qingshuang wanted Guo Jiaojiao and Shangguan Ping'an to get married tomorrow.

This decision confused Shangguan Tang and his group who came to propose marriage.

"We're getting married tomorrow?" Shangguan Tang looked at the nun in confusion: "Why are you in such a hurry?"

Master Qingshuang looked at Guo Jiaojiao lovingly: "Jiaojiao is not a child anymore. Now that she has finally found a good man, I naturally hope that she can get married soon."

Shangguan Pingan said: "But my father and grandfather are not in the capital, and the wedding date is too urgent, so nothing has been arranged yet."

Nun Qingshuang looked at him and said, "You have been in love with Jiaojiao for more than a day or two. It is impossible that you have not prepared anything. With your ability, even if you have not prepared anything in advance, you can prepare everything in one night. Tomorrow is a good day that I calculated. As long as you get married tomorrow, you and Jiaojiao can live happily forever."

Shangguan Tang and his companions still felt that this marriage was too hasty. Why was the master so anxious to marry Guo Jiaojiao off?

Master Qingshuang waved to Shangguan Tang: "Come with me, I have something to tell you."

Shangguan Tang followed Master Qingshuang into a room. No one knew what they talked about. When they came out, Shangguan Tang held Master Qingshuang's hand tightly and repeatedly assured her, "Master, don't worry. I will do my best to arrange Ping'an and Jiaojiao's marriage."

Shangguan Ping'an and Guo Jiaojiao looked puzzled. They walked up to Shangguan Tang and Shangguan Ping'an asked, "Sister, how did you talk with the nun? Do you really want to set the wedding date for tomorrow?"

Shangguan Tang nodded: "Yes, let's set it for tomorrow."

Shangguan Ping'an and Guo Jiaojiao were quite surprised. Nangong Jingxuan looked at Shangguan Tang with confusion. He glanced at Master Qingshuang and suddenly found that her expression was very strange.

Nangong Jingxuan immediately said: "Tomorrow is indeed a good day."

"But brother-in-law..." Shangguan Ping'an still felt it was too rushed.

Nangong Jingxuan asked him: "Don't you want to marry Miss Guo home as soon as possible?"

"I do. Of course I do." Shangguan Ping'an said hurriedly.

Nangong Jingxuan said: "Then listen to the arrangements of me, your sister and the nun."

Seeing that Shangguan Tang and Nangong Jingxuan both agreed, the nun smiled with satisfaction: "Since the wedding date has been set, you should go back and prepare."

Shangguan Tang nodded: "Okay, you are short of manpower here, I will arrange some people to come and help."

After leaving the courtyard, Shangguan Pingan asked Shangguan Tang: "Sister, why did you agree? I wanted to give Jiaojiao a grand wedding, but the wedding date was set so urgently that no matter how capable I am, I would not have enough time to prepare. Things that were hastily prepared..."

Shangguan Tang said softly: "Ping An, the nun is dying."

Shangguan Ping'an was stunned: "What did you say?"

Xiao Jingxuan said: "I saw the face of the nun just now, and she looked like she was about to die. She won't live for a few more days."

Shangguan Tang said: "The nun treated Jiaojiao as her own daughter and wanted Jiaojiao to marry peacefully before she died. We have to fulfill the nun's wish."

Shangguan Ping'an's face turned pale: "How could it be?"

Nangong Jingxuan said: "The nun has been ill for several years. She suddenly got better now. It is clearly a last gasp of life. She is holding on to her last breath and wants to see Miss Guo get married with her own eyes."

Shangguan Tang looked at Shangguan Ping'an earnestly and said, "The nun is Jiaojiao's only relative. If the nun passed away before your wedding, Jiaojiao would definitely be in mourning because of her temperament. The nun doesn't want to delay Jiaojiao any longer, so she wants you to get married earlier."

"After you return home, you should hurry up and prepare for your marriage. Don't let Master down."

Now that the war is over, the territory of the Yuan Dynasty has more than doubled, and the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion and the Prince of Yan's Mansion have become the most powerful people in the capital. They have both financial power and achievements that surpass their master. If this continues for a long time, it is likely to cause dissatisfaction among the royal family. Even though Emperor Wu of Yuan and the Crown Prince treat them very well now and trust them quite a bit, no one knows what will happen in the future.

War requires military generals, and peace requires civil officials.

From now on, many people will keep an eye on Prince Yan's Mansion and the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion.

Therefore, it is best for the Prince of Yan's Mansion and the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion not to have too many relationships with other powerful people. The prince of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion does not need to marry a daughter of a famous family. Marrying an ordinary woman is the best protection.

My younger brother and Jiaojiao are in love with each other. The two of them together can satisfy many people.

Shangguan Ping'an returned to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion and immediately asked someone to arrange the marriage.

Upon learning that the prince was going to get married tomorrow, the housekeeper, Fang Jing and others were stunned.

Fang Jing said: "My Lord, you can't be careless about your marriage. The Duke and the old Duke are not here, you..."

Shangguan Ping'an said, "Uncle Jing, I have decided to get married tomorrow after careful consideration. Just follow my instructions. When my father and grandfather come back, they will not only not blame you and me, but will also be very happy."

Fang Jing asked: "Then could you please tell me which daughter you are going to marry?"

Shangguan Ping'an: "Her name is Guo Jiaojiao, the eldest daughter of the Guo family in the north of the city!"

That villa was named Guo's House and was the exclusive villa of Guo Jiaojiao and the nun.

Although everyone in the Zhenguo Mansion had doubts and thought that Shangguan Ping'an was acting too hastily, they saw that Shangguan Ping'an was serious and not joking. Not long after, someone from the Prince of Yan's Mansion came to help the Zhenguo Mansion with the wedding. Everyone in the Zhenguo Mansion no longer hesitated and immediately did what Shangguan Ping'an ordered.

Before the third hour, a betrothal team set out from the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion and headed for Guo's residence.

Although time was tight, Shangguan Ping'an didn't want to let Guo Jiaojiao down, and all the necessary formalities had to be followed.

The team was beating drums and gongs, and it was very lively. More than a dozen horse-drawn carriages carrying things were delivered to Guo's house in a grand manner, attracting a lot of attention on the way.

"Whose family is offering marriage?"

"I didn't see that sign. This is the team from the Zhenguo Mansion!"

"Which family is the Duke of Zhenguo going to propose marriage to? Who is going to marry a wife?"

Countless people have doubts in their hearts.

This news reached the palace, and Crown Prince Gongsun Tianhua, who was reviewing memorials, was quite surprised.

"The Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion is going to hold a wedding? How come I didn't know about it?"

Emperor Yuanwu standing by was also extremely puzzled: "I don't know who is holding the wedding ceremony either."

Xiong Jingzhong said, "It's Shangguan Ping'an, the son of the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion."

Gongsun Tianhua frowned: "Shangguan Peng and Shangguan Zhenhua are not in the capital, how can Shangguan Ping'an hold a wedding? This is too wrong!"

Suddenly, a palace maid came to report that Nangong Jingxuan was here.

As soon as Nangong Jingxuan came in, he told Emperor Yuanwu and the Crown Prince that Shangguan Ping'an was going to get married.

Nangong Jingxuan said: "The two of them have been in love for a long time, and because of some special reasons, they will get married tomorrow."

Gongsun Tianhua was surprised: "This is too hasty. I don't even have time to prepare a gift."

Emperor Yuanwu asked: "Who is the woman Shangguan Ping'an wants to marry?"

Nangong Jingxuan told the truth, there was nothing to hide about Guo Jiaojiao's identity.

Emperor Yuanwu was very surprised. Shangguan Ping'an, as the eldest son of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, was one of the most outstanding figures in the capital in terms of status, character and ability. How could such a man want to marry an ordinary woman in her twenties?
