Chapter 1
Substitute Marriage 1
"Yan Ling, how have you considered what dad said?"
In the study room of Shangshu Mansion, a middle-aged man looked a little unnatural, coughed lightly, and asked warmly.
He has an elegant appearance, a goatee, and is slightly stout, but he is fair-skinned and dressed in brocade clothes. He looks like he has been in a high position for a long time. Even though there is a guilty conscience in his eyes, his voice is extremely calm.
He was asking about a girl in pink who was sitting next to him.
But at the age of fifteen or sixteen, wearing a pink dress, paired with the hair of a girl who has not yet left the palace, and a pair of clear and bright eyes, she looks innocent and romantic.
But at this moment, the girl bit her lower lip and frowned, as if she was facing an extremely difficult choice.
Seeing that she didn't answer, the middle-aged man frowned without a trace, a little unhappy, and said warmly: "Dad, I know I'm sorry for you, but you are the only one in the house who looks similar to your sister, and has a similar body shape, and your sister also feels ashamed.
As for you, I will give you half of the dowry left to her by her mother."
After hearing this, the girl's long eyelashes trembled. After a few breaths, she raised her head and a sarcastic smile escaped from the corner of her lips: "Do you think I lack this dowry?"
This rhetorical question made the man's cheeks heat up, and he said seriously: "Of course not, it's just that with this dowry, you will have enough confidence to get married."
After a pause, he sighed: "Dad, there is nothing I can do. You are the most obedient and sensible person. Your sister is not as good as you. She has always been willful. This time, she won't marry at all. If she directly refuses the marriage from Weiyuan Marquis Mansion, then
I’m afraid I won’t be able to keep my position as Minister.”
"I beg you, Yan Ling, please understand my father's difficulties. With such a big family..."
The man's soft words of persuasion passed by Yan Ling's ears, and she pursed her lips slightly, quite amused.
Are you talking so high-sounding just to get a more obedient person to take the blame?
A real girl of fifteen or sixteen might be persuaded by him, but Yan Ling was not.
She is not from this world, she is a worker from the Quick Travel Bureau, which specializes in supervising various small worlds condensed from novels, TV series and other stories.
Originally, these small worlds were running smoothly. They, the missionaries, only needed to enter the mission world for a little assistance when there was a deviation. Until a while ago, bugs appeared in many small worlds. The bugs were not big and no one noticed at first.
, but when this bug created too much resentment and caused the small world to collapse, they had to start long-term tasks.
That is to say, choose a suitable host body, use her identity to complete the task, rewrite the fate of the original owner, calm the grievances, and maintain the stability of the small world.
Just when Yu Zhen asked her to marry Yu Yanhe, the eldest daughter of the Yu family, Yan Ling happened to come over, but in just a moment, she quickly calmed down and no one could notice.
The reason why she was able to deal with the scene of time and space switching so skillfully was because it was not her first time doing a mission, so she immediately accepted the memory and mission of the original owner, and also understood the current situation she was in.
This is a sweet story that was changed by a bug and turned into a sweet story about the rebirth of ancient Chinese characters.
It tells the story of the heroine Yu Yanhe who didn't understand people well in her previous life. She gave up the scholar Xie Cheng who had a great future and chose Xiao Yi, the prince of Weiyuan Hou, to rely on his father's legacy. As a result, he lived a miserable life. Looking back, he once realized that
The person who gave up had actually reached the position of Chief Assistant and became the youngest Chief Assistant in the history of Xia Dynasty!
In pain and regret, Yu Yanhe died. When she woke up again, she went back to the two months before her marriage to Prince Weiyuan. During these two months, she began to redeem her past relationship, tried every means to break off the engagement, and finally let
The story of the legitimate sister, Yu Yanling, marrying in her place, and she married Xie Cheng contentedly, waiting to become the wife of the chief minister.
Speaking of Ling, the target of this mission is that unlucky child Yu Yanling.
This happened to be the time when Yu Zhen, the original owner's father, was persuading her to marry on her behalf.
As the head of the family and the Minister of Rites of the Xia Dynasty, Yu Zhen seems to be the most disciplined. Any child in the family who does something wrong outside will be punished, except for Yu Yanhe.
The nature of human beings is double standards, and the object of his double standards is his eldest daughter.
Speaking of Yu Yanhe, Yu Yanling and Yu Yanling both sound like legitimate daughters. In fact, the former is born to his first wife, while the latter is born to his stepmother. This stepmother is not liked by him, so her weight is naturally different.
So the original owner can be sacrificed for marriage.
After reading this, Yan Ling had to sigh, this girl is so miserable, her bright future was ruined by her sister and father.
Of course, the culprit is still a bug, the reborn Yu Yanhe.
——
"Yan Ling, are you listening to dad?"
An unhappy growl suddenly appeared, awakening Yu Yanling from deep thought.
She raised her eyes and saw Yu Zhen's displeased expression.
But he probably knew that he had to win over this daughter, so he quickly softened his tone: "Dad is also in a dilemma, your sister has an unpredictable temper. If not, she wouldn't know what she would do! You have been the most sensible since you were a child.
Yes, I will let my sister, I have wronged you this time, and my father will definitely compensate you in the future, okay?"
Yan Ling looked at him and said nothing.
Yu Zhen was a little embarrassed. Being stared at by her big eyes, he felt as if she had seen through everything in his heart. But how could it be possible?
A little girl is usually not smart enough and has no talent at all. She is not even as good as the child of the second wife.
He said with a headache: "Dad also knows that this is a bit difficult, but your marriage is not a good thing. The Pei family is now too powerful, and they hold military power and refuse to let it go. Your husband and his brother are both rare generals.
He is quite famous in the military. Seeing that military power is about to be passed down, this is the most dangerous thing! Dad is doing it for your own good..."
Yu Zhen himself was moved by the words that seemed to come from the bottom of his heart.
That's right, it was just for the good of his daughter. Wouldn't it be wrong to marry the Marquis of Weiyuan and become the crown prince's wife? Then she would become a direct relative of the emperor!
I remember when Yu Yanhe stunned everyone at a banquet, and soon after Weiyuan Marquis Mansion came to propose marriage, the Yu family was happy for a long time.
Even though Yu Zhen became the Minister of Rites, the Yu family's family background is still much worse than that of the nobles who have been passed down for many years. Now they are hoping to make up for it step by step, and it is best to allow him to advance further in the officialdom.
Therefore, we must not quarrel with the Weiyuan Hou Mansion!
Yan Ling looked at her coldly, as expected of someone who could come up with the idea of letting her second daughter marry her eldest daughter in place of her. Even disgusting things could be turned into something good for her.
According to the plot, the original protagonist is not yet sixteen years old, and because he is already engaged, he has been restrained in the backyard by his mother all year round. He really does not understand many things in the officialdom and the workplace, and may be really scared.
But she's not.
Yan Ling raised her chin slightly and looked directly at him: "Dad, have you ever thought about what it would be like if your daughter actually got married? What would Xiao Yi do to me when he took off his hijab and found that the bride was not the one he wanted? What would the world do to me?
Everyone knows that the Weiyuan Marquis married an eldest sister, but it turned out to be me, what will they think of me?!"
The girl's loud question fell in the quiet study room, clearly and loudly.
Yu Zhen was worried for a while when he was asked. He looked away in embarrassment and did not dare to look directly: "Dad is also in trouble, you have to be considerate, otherwise we will refuse the marriage directly. The Weiyuan Marquis Mansion will not let dad go, and he may not be allowed to do it by then.
His official position will be gone!"
"Then why don't you force the eldest sister to complete the marriage?" Yan Ling asked again.
Yu Zhen said subconsciously: "Your sister is so willful, I'm afraid she might cause a scene in the auditorium——"
"So if my sister is willful, she can get engaged if she wants to, and force me to marry her if she doesn't want to get married. And because I'm well-behaved and sensible, she wants me to sacrifice my own marriage to wipe her butt?" Yan Ling asked again.
Yu Zhen's face turned red.
Indeed, Yu Yanhe was willful, and when people in the family encountered her problem, they subconsciously gave in. But he felt that his second daughter was sensible, so he allowed her to sacrifice as a matter of course.
But he couldn't admit it, and he was also irritated by this series of questions. Yu Zhen's tone also became serious: "What do you mean? We are all sisters. If she is not good, how can you be better?! We didn't do it in the first place."
You should let your mother teach you that good children don’t have a sense of the overall situation. You must know that the Yu family gave birth to you and raised you!"
Yan Ling raised her head, her beautiful and pure little face was extremely serious, and said word by word: "It was my mother who was pregnant in ten months. It was my mother who gave birth to me through pain. She also raised me and taught me to speak and walk."
Yes, it’s still my mother! In order to give me someone to rely on in the future, it was also my grandpa who offered her life-saving grace in exchange for a marriage contract;
Not to mention that my mother and I rarely go out, there are very few jewelry, and the expenses are not much. Even if there is no Yu family, my mother can still afford to support me. Especially in my memory, you don’t appear as often as the housekeeper.
, is this how you gave birth to and raised me?!"
How could he have the nerve to mention the gift of procreation?
Yan Ling didn't say these words, but the meaning was clearly expressed on her little face.
Seeing that Yu Zhen's face was turning pale, she finally replied firmly: "Don't hold me hostage with your righteousness. I don't agree with the substitute marriage. It was Yu Yanhe who asked for this marriage. Now I have to either break off the engagement myself or get married."
!Otherwise we will make a fool of ourselves together!”
After saying that, she stood up and said in a cold tone: "My daughter is tired, please leave first."
Then she turned and left.
Yu Zhen was so angry that he shouted from behind: "Stop! Who allowed you to leave?!"
Yan Ling turned a deaf ear and opened the door to leave. When closing the door, she made two loud banging noises, as if mocking Yu Zhen.
Suddenly there was a "crackling" movement in the study room.
*
Yan Ling naturally heard it, but she was not afraid.
She was already engaged to Pei Xiuli, the second son of the Xia Dynasty General's Mansion. This family was full of powerful military generals. They had been protecting her and her mother for so many years, and the Yu family did not dare to really touch her.
Even if the Pei family's engagement was to be canceled, the Pei family would definitely not be willing to do so without her and her mother's approval.
Now this group of people can only coax her.
Suddenly, a soft call came from my ear: "Yan Ling?"
Yan Ling looked for the sound and saw a bright and beautiful woman striding over. She had red hairpins on her head, various jewelry on her neck and wrists jingling as she walked, and her dress with gold threads made it even more luxurious.
This is the heroine Yu Yanhe in the book. Her name looks elegant, but in fact she herself feels that she is not worthy of this name. Not to mention her aggressive appearance, she also likes tacky things like jewelry. She is especially vain and likes to watch the most.
Those young ladies from aristocratic families were overshadowed by her.
In the words of the book, she is a black lotus and the black moonlight in the heart of the previous life's chief minister.
Yan Ling said nothing and looked at her quietly.
Yu Yanhe felt a little uncomfortable, so she touched her cheek subconsciously, and her wrist made a ding-dong sound. She felt relieved that her makeup was intact and her clothes were not messy. She walked closer and said with a smile, "What's wrong?"
Yan Ling sneered: "Look at how shameless you are. You don't want to get married after working so hard for it, and you even asked dad to trick me into getting married on your behalf!"
boom!
Silent thunder exploded in Yu Yanhe's mind. Her face turned red at this moment. She looked around for the first time and saw the shock on the faces of the maids and maids. She even said in shame and anger: "What are you talking nonsense about?!"
Yan Ling looked at her meaningfully: "You know if I'm talking nonsense."
She didn't wait long and walked directly past the people.
Yu Yanhe wanted to catch her, but he was so shocked by what she said that he couldn't react for a moment. When he came back, the man had already walked several feet away, and the maids and servants around him were secretly looking at him, stamping their feet in anger, and rushing
Entering the study: "Dad!!!"
Yan Ling: This is the first time we meet, please give me some advice~
