Chapter 2: Substitute Marriage 2
After successfully crying Yu Yanhe to complain to Yu Zhen, Yanling returned to his yard and leaned on the couch a little tired.
She was very tired when she first came to this world and accepted so many complicated memories.
Especially when she is actually a pension worker who is about to pass through the bureau, she is bent on retirement, who knew that now such a big accident has happened, and there are not enough people, and she has also slipped over.
Fortunately, she didn't wear to an ordinary farmhouse in this world, and I heard that several of her elderly colleagues went to the era text, where they still had to work in the fields, and they couldn't be served, which was too miserable.
It's still comfortable here, it's a young lady anyway.
No, Yan Ling frowned.
Her two maids, one jade and one pearl, immediately came over smartly, pinched their shoulders and beat their legs, so comfortable that her eyes narrowed.
Seeing that the master was in a better mood, Jade asked cautiously: "Miss, is it true that you just talked to the eldest lady about the substitute marriage?" β
Yan Ling nodded: "Yes." β
Jade's eyes widened suddenly: "How can they do this?" Miss is not unmarried, but the son of the Pei family is still protecting his family and defending the country! β
Pearl also said indignantly: "That's it, the master is too partial!" β
Yan Ling couldn't help but sigh in her heart, look, the maids who haven't read understand the truth, but Yu Zhen, who is the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, doesn't care about it, and can only see the immediate benefits.
It's just that she was too lazy to be indignant with the maids, and confronted the original owner's father for a long time, temporarily on standby.
After pressing it for a while, the jade disappeared.
Yan Ling took the time to peek at it, guessed what she was doing, and didn't move.
Sure enough, after a while, Liu hurried over, his face ugly.
"Ah Ling, I've wronged you!" After speaking, a bear hugged his daughter tightly in his arms, and the tears in his big eyes fell one after another.
Yan Ling was originally drowsy, but when she heard the voice of the original owner's mother, she quickly sat up and snuggled into Liu's arms as the original owner was used to, but she didn't say anything immediately.
The original owner is not a person who likes to complain, and the life of a rare person makes her very introverted, and she looks like a lively and lovely face, but she is actually very timid.
In my memory, the original owner didn't say a word to Liu, I was afraid that she would be sad, and I was afraid that she would confront her father for herself, her father was cold enough to treat her mother, she got married, and her mother stayed in the Yu family, so she didn't have to rely on her father in the future?
It's just that she underestimated a mother's maintenance of her child.
The original owner got on the sedan chair, and the Liu family knew how much her daughter had been wronged, but at that time, the wood was already in the boat, and she could only bear it.
But when her daughter was young and had serious internal friction, and the white-haired person sent the black-haired person, Liu hated Yu Yanhe very much, and when she pretended to be a loving mother to visit Yu Yanhe, she used the cloth used by others to treat the wound of typhoid fever to secretly scratch the two children, and then wiped the cloth on it, which really made Yu Yanhe and her two children suffer a big loss.
It's just that fortunately Xie Cheng knew a miracle doctor and rescued them, and Xie Cheng took revenge on the Liu family and directly returned a tooth for a tooth, Yu Zhen turned a blind eye and watched his wife die of typhoid fever.
ββ
The daughter snuggled up obediently and skillfully, Liu's heart softened, as a mother, she knew her children too well, and she was keenly aware of something, she waved away the maid and grandmother, and then whispered: "Obedient, tell my mother, what did your father tell you?" β
Yan Ling's heart was sour, the emotions of the original owner surged up, she rubbed the Liu family, wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and whispered: "The eldest sister seems to have a sweetheart outside, and she is unwilling to marry Xiao Yi, and my father said that I will marry instead, because I look a little similar to the eldest sister, and my body shape is similar." β
The Liu clan had already heard it once, and when he heard it again, his face turned pale with anger, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Is he crazy?!" You are only three points alike, you will definitely be exposed, didn't he think about the fate of being exposed?! β
Yu Zhen thought about it, but the girls have all been married, everyone takes a fancy to the face, and Wei Yuanhou will not really do anything, and besides, this is also a concubine, this is not bad.
But he didn't say it.
Yan Ling learned Yu Zhen's tone and said aggrievedly: "He said it doesn't matter, when the wood is ready, he will help me gain a firm foothold over there, and give me more dowry, so that I don't have to be afraid, but mother, I'm still afraid~"
Liu's face gradually turned pale, and his silver teeth were almost crushed, and his heart was extremely cold: "Just her Zhang's daughter is a daughter, isn't what I gave birth to my own?" For the sake of her daughter, your father can actually sacrifice you! I'm going to ask him......"
"Mother, don't be angry." Yan Ling hurriedly pulled her, afraid that she would lose her mind and make a wrong decision, "I didn't agree, as long as I don't agree, they can't tie me up in a sedan chair, right?" So many people are watching. β
There are prescribed steps for these families to get married, and when the time comes, the bride will say goodbye to her parents, be carried on the sedan chair by her brother, etc., she is unwilling, and everyone should not want to have a light on their faces.
That's why Yu Zhen coaxed her to agree.
"It's good if you don't say yes!" Liu's heart palpitated his chest, and his reddish eyes looked at his daughter's immature little face, and he became more and more sad: "Pity my son, I have been wronged, and my mother is useless." β
Yanling comforted her two more sentences and calmed her down, before she said: "Mother, my father didn't treat me as a daughter at all, I didn't listen to him this time, and I didn't let Yu Yanhe get his wish, in the future, the eldest brother in the house will be in charge, I am married, I am afraid that it will be more difficult for you to live alone in the house, have you ever thought about leaving with me?" β
That's what she told Liu about it.
There were very few women in ancient times, and there were almost no people who followed their daughters to support the elderly, but the Liu family was in the house, and Yu Yanhe and Yu Jing would not let her go.
It's just that when she mentioned this, a trace of embarrassment flashed on Liu's face: "How can a mother marry her daughter?" Don't worry, I'm their mother-in-law, even if they want to do anything, they won't dare. β
"Mother, but I don't want to leave you, my father doesn't like me, I only have my mother!" Yan Ling said pitifully.
Seeing that the Liu family still wanted to refute, she raised her hand and pressed down: "Mother, think about it, I don't think the Pei family will mind raising you one more, and besides, there is my dowry, you buy a house next door to the Pei family, it's the same." β
Liu couldn't cry or laugh, but he didn't refute it immediately, but he was a little moved when he heard it, but she was quickly suppressed, she frowned: "Since your eldest sister has come up with this method, she must not give up easily, she is a selfish character when she is young, I am afraid that she will bully you, and I didn't let you associate with her, thinking that you will marry the Pei family in the future, and you will not have anything to do with her, but I didn't expect her to calculate you in this matter, and my mother has to go to Mrs. Pei to settle the marriage as soon as possible." β
Yan Ling smiled and nodded: "Okay." β
She didn't refute, the original owner was engaged to Pei Xiuli, the second son of the Pei family, at a very young age, and the Pei family's base camp was at the border, but the lady of the head of the family stayed in Kyoto with a few children, and no one dared to underestimate it, so even if she and her mother didn't like their father and were disgusted by the old lady, they still lived a good life.
After so many years of protection, she is willing to marry her, and she also wants to save Pei Xiuli, if she can't save it, it is also a good choice to be widowed for a lifetime.
She has a dowry and a dowry, even if the Pei family is down, as long as she doesn't rebel, she can still live well, and the maids and grandmothers serve in groups, which can be regarded as the retirement life she wants.
Seeing that his daughter was so well-behaved, Liu felt pity in his heart and touched her head, but he didn't delay, he was afraid that he would have a long night and many dreams, so he left quickly to write a prayer post.
Originally, her daughter was still a month old to sixteen, and she thought that it was just right to marry at the age of seventeen, so as not to hurt her body and bones if she was too young.
It's all to blame Yu Yanhe!
Speaking of this person, Liu remembered the sentence "There is a sweetheart outside" that her daughter unintentionally mentioned, who is your sweetheart?
Gotta find out.
Dare to calculate her daughter, then don't think about it!
ββ
The father and daughter in the study were also discussing Yu Yanling.
Originally, the confrontation at the door outside the study courtyard successfully made Yu Yanhe cry, she had never suffered this grievance since she was a child, but Yan Ling's tone of firm refusal to marry made her even more flustered.
Therefore, as soon as he entered the study, Yu Yanhe pulled Yu Zhen's sleeve and said anxiously:
"Dad, Yu Yanling bullied me, she said in public how much face I had to let her marry, and said that it was impossible to agree, woo...... Why didn't she say yes? Do you really want to marry the Pei family? β
"Then the Pei family was already suspicious of His Majesty, and when she got married, she was also a widow, what's wrong with this marriage?!"
Yu Yanhe's tone carried a strange affirmation.
Yu Zhen didn't pay attention to the hidden meaning of her words, and only nodded in agreement.
The Marquis of Weiyuan's Mansion has always been loved by His Majesty, and he is a close minister of His Majesty, and he wants to go further, if there is Marquis Weiyuan's help to speak, the chance of success is also greater.
It's just that I thought it was a very simple thing, this second daughter has always been simple and ignorant, and she will please him, shouldn't she agree directly? I didn't expect the rejection to be so ruthless.
White-eyed wolf!
How did he fall in love with the Liu family in the first place? Not to mention that he couldn't give birth to a son-in-law, his only daughter was also crooked.
Yu Zhen's face was gloomy: "It's short-sighted, just take care of the current honor of the Pei family, how can you not let go!" Obviously, the Yu family gave birth to her and raised her, but she actually said that it was the Liu family who gave birth to her and raised her? The Liu family is not eating my Yu family's food! β
Yu Yanhe also nodded vigorously, so anxious that tears fell: "That is, if it weren't for Dad's awesomeness, how could we live so well?" As for the down-and-out family of the Liu family, if it wasn't for my father, there would be no Liu family at this time. β
The father and daughter said one sentence at a time, and their hearts were angry and depressed.
Especially Yu Yanhe, she was still a little flustered, like Yu Zhen, she also thought that this matter was caught, did she really want to dissolve the marriage contract?
Not mentioning the dissolution of the marriage date would offend the Hou Mansion, and she was also afraid of ...... I'm afraid that Xie Cheng will like Yu Yanling again, after all, in the previous life, she saw with her own eyes how loving these two people were.
At that time, she was still planning to destroy, but what she got was Xie Cheng's cold eyes, which made her bones shiver coldly.
Yu Yanhe bit her lip, her delicate and charming cheeks showed a pleading look, and she shook Yu Zhen's sleeve: "Dad, you are so powerful, hurry up and think of a way, it's only two months......"
Seeing Yu Zhen frowning, she gritted her teeth and said firmly: "Anyway, I won't marry, and I won't marry if I die!" β
Yu Zhen glared at her hatefully: "You dare to threaten to be a father!" β
But the displeasure in this look is superficial, and it is more conniving, so Yu Yanhe is not afraid.
Sure enough, the next moment he wrung his eyebrows and said tentatively: "Do you want them to meet?" β
As a man, he still has some doubts about the girl's mind, so he is not sure about this proposal.
But Yu Yanhe's eyes lit up, and he didn't know what he remembered, so he decided directly: "This method is good!" Dad, you are so powerful, the men that the second sister has seen are you and your brother, and when the time comes, I will arrange a hero to save the beauty, which will definitely make the second sister tempted! β
Yu Zhen was praised, and stroked his beard a little smugly: "You think it's feasible, you will arrange it or I will come?" β
Yu Yanhe's eyes sparkled, and he said with a smile: "It's good for me to come, the matter of my daughter has already worried my father a lot, and my father is tired." β
"You." Yu Zhen patted her head and shook her head helplessly, "You are the child that your mother is desperate to give birth to, and your father is willing to worry about you." β
However, he didn't say that he wanted to help arrange it, but only reminded: "Pay attention to proportion, our family style is rigorous, and I don't want bad rumors to flow out." β
"Of course."
ββ
Yu Yanhe tilted his head and smiled, very innocent.
The smiling eyes also shone more and more brightly against the sunlight passing through the window, and they looked particularly beautiful, and it was impossible to see that she was thinking about how to let her sister marry her.
The main thing is that she doesn't feel that this matter is bad for her either.
Because...... Yu Yanhe is a reborn person.
In her previous life, she had a good relationship with a poor scholar Xie Cheng for a while, but she liked brocade clothes and fine jewelry, so she clearly knew that Xie Cheng couldn't give her that.
So she thought of hooking up with Xiao Yi, and later the two got engaged, and she married Xiao Yi naturally, and became the wife of the prince of the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion.
However, the days after marriage were not happy, and she was married, and she knew that Xiao Yi was gentle and affectionate, and when she liked her, she wanted to marry her regardless of her parents' opposition, but when she liked others, she also ignored her opposition and had to take a concubine.
As the daughter of the Ministry of Rites, her status is not bad, but compared to the Hou Mansion that is involved with the royal family, it is still a little worse at some times, not to mention that this person wants to take a concubine, which is justified, Weiyuan Hou and his wife agree very much, she has quarreled, but to no avail.
In the end, I could only watch Xiao Yi marry people back one by one, and when the first concubine entered the door, they had only been married for half a year.
But that Yu Yanhe didn't envy Yu Yanling's sister, mainly because only two months after she got married, the news of the death of her second sister's fiancΓ© Pei Xiuli came back from the border pass!
At that time, she also laughed at her stepmother for choosing a short-lived ghost for her sister as a husband.
It's just that when time passes, the development of things is more and more different from what she expected, Xiao Yi is amorous, and the Hou Mansion also begins to lose, Weiyuan Marquis is a rich and noble marquis because he was the old emperor's companion in his early years, and he is deeply trusted, but when the old emperor gradually becomes seriously ill and the power begins to be handed over to the next generation, the Hou Mansion will go to the road of decline.
When the crown prince ascended the throne, the Hou Mansion was completely obscured, and they were not even invited to the palace banquet on Chinese New Year's Eve!
The Hou Mansion has no real power, the holy grace is gone, and she, the wife of the prince, is even less valued, if it is just like this, Yu Yanhe can bear it, but what she can't stand is that in the second year after marriage, Xie Cheng won the top prize in high school and became a blockbuster.
In the third year, Yu Yanling was widowed for her fiancΓ© for a year, and married Xie Cheng as the champion wife.
After that, the prince and the four princes fought, Xie Cheng helped the prince, and when the prince ascended the throne, Xie Cheng's status also rose sharply, and even gave Yu Yanling a fate!
Yu Yanhe had no children all her life, because she injured her body in the battle with the concubine, and she couldn't give birth to a child, so her body collapsed, she once ran to Xie Mansion to ask Yu Yanling for help, Yu Zhen was unwilling to help her suppress Xiao Yi's concubines, and now among her relatives, only Xie Cheng has the highest official position.
But Yu Yanling was unwilling, saying that this was her family affair and refused to interfere.
Yu Yanhe was jealous for a while, thinking that Xie Cheng was the only one in the backyard with her sister, so she secretly seduced Xie Cheng, but was ruthlessly pushed away by the other party, and happened to be bumped into by Yu Yanling, and the humiliation at that moment was not even comparable to the fear of death.
Later, Yu Yanhe went back and dealt with those concubines even more ruthlessly, but this only made Xiao Yi more and more bored, and also made her suffer serious internal friction, but she died in her thirties.
Before she died, she heard that Xie Cheng had become the youngest Shoufu, holding monstrous authority, the emperor was trustworthy, and even the Pei family could not compare to him.
Yu Yanhe regretted it.
Maybe her regret was too strong, and when she opened her eyes again, she returned to the first two months of marrying Xiao Yi.
Therefore, the first thing Yu Yanhe did was to coax Xie Cheng back, and then persuade her father to let her good sister marry her to the Hou Mansion for her.
After all, she doesn't plan to give up Xie Cheng in this life, so she will naturally marry her, without Xie Cheng, Yu Yanling, a woman who killed her fiancΓ© before she got married, who else would marry? She let this sister marry into the Hou Mansion and be the wife of the prince, which is also for her good.
It's a pity that this sister is stupid, she doesn't know that her fiancΓ© is short-lived, and she still wants to be the general's wife.
