Sister 1
Chapter 1
Midsummer has arrived and the heat in Beijing is unbearable.
At this time of year every year, all the wealthy families in Beijing would invite a few good friends and their families to their homes to cool off.
And today is the day when the Yu family is hosting a banquet for guests to cool off in the summer.
The head of the Yu family, Yu Bohai, is the Grand Secretary of Wenyuan Pavilion of the current dynasty. His grandfather and father are both civil servants. The Yu family is considered a scholarly family. In the eyes of outsiders, in addition to the Yu family's prominent family background and profound knowledge, Yu Bohai's two daughters are also the topic of conversation that outsiders talk about with relish.
Anyone who has seen two girls will inevitably compare them, because although they come from the same family, their looks and personalities are completely different:
Judging from her looks alone, the eldest daughter, Yu Rubing, is so stunning that she is not inferior to any of the beauties in the harem.
The younger daughter, Yu Miaoyin, was pretty and delicate. Although she was also a beauty, she was far inferior to her elder sister in terms of appearance.
However, everyone who has come into contact with the two sisters has high praise for the younger sister Yu Miaoyin and has an extraordinary fondness for her.
Most people have a very bad impression of her elder sister Yu Rubing, thinking that she is arrogant, rude, and difficult to get close to.
So even though elder sister Yu Rubing is outstandingly beautiful, others only say good things about her younger sister.
Another point is that Yu Rubing was born of a legitimate wife. When Yu Rubing was young, the mistress of the Yu family died of illness. Yu Bohai, deeply in love with his first wife, was reluctant to remarry after her death. However, with no children, he took a concubine, who later gave birth to a daughter and a son. The youngest daughter was Yu Miaoyin.
Although he took another concubine and had a son and a daughter, Yu Bohai's love for his original wife did not diminish in the slightest. He spent all his love on his eldest daughter, Yu Rubing, so he doted on her to the point of partiality and spoiling her.
So to outsiders, Yu Rubing's arrogance is not without reason.
It's just a pity for the younger sister Yu Miaoyin, who can only swallow her anger towards her elder sister. Outsiders also feel more and more pity for the younger sister and dislike for the elder sister.
On this day, the Yu family entertained guests, and the men were all in the front yard, reciting poems, writing couplets, drinking and having fun.
The female members of the family were in the backyard. Old Lady Yu, Yu Miaoyin's mother Aunt Zhao, and several older ladies were cooling off in the pavilion over the pond, while the younger girls were grinding grease and powder and playing in the corridor beside the pond.
The Yu family's backyard is very large, with many flowers of various colors. The girls collected a lot of petals and gathered together to grind them into rouge paste.
After the first box of rouge cream was ground out, Yu Miaoyin was the first to give it to her sister Yu Rubing.
Yu Miaoyin said earnestly and cautiously, "Sister, this box of ointment is in good condition. The color and materials are what you are used to. If you don't mind, please accept it."
After the younger sister Yu Miaoyin finished speaking, she stared at her elder sister Yu Rubing nervously.
While everyone was busy grinding, Yu Rubing was the only one sitting aside, lazily enjoying the scenery, without even moving a finger, looking like a loner.
The younger sisters never liked Yu Rubing's condescending attitude, so very few of them were close to her.
On the contrary, her younger sister Yu Miaoyin is smart, considerate and gentle, and is more popular.
Now, seeing that the thing Yu Miaoyin had just made with great effort was given to Yu Rubing right away, and then seeing Yu Rubing being lazy and not even bothering to lift his eyelids, everyone felt sorry for Yu Miaoyin and disliked Yu Rubing from the bottom of their hearts.
And what about Yu Rubing?
Faced with her sister's attentive and even flattering intentions, she looked completely unmoved. She casually glanced at the rouge box in her hand, then said coldly, "No!"
Yu Miaoyin's expression froze, and the smile on her face became a little forced. Then, awkwardly, she took back the rouge box, not forgetting to find an excuse for her sister: "Sister, you are so beautiful that even without this rouge, your beauty will not be diminished in the slightest. I'll keep this box of rouge for myself!"
Yu Rubing didn't respond to her sister's words of excuse. She completely ignored her sister's kindness. As if she was tired of sitting, she stood up and stretched, saying to herself: "You guys have fun! I'll just take a walk!"
Upon hearing this, Yu Miaoyin's eyes widened, and then she looked flustered. She hurriedly tried to stop Yu Rubing, saying, "Sister, it's so boring to go shopping alone. Why don't we all play together?"
Yu Rubing glanced at the group of girls who disliked her and wished she would leave immediately, and replied coldly, "Stop chattering. I'm so annoyed. I'm going to find a quiet place to stay for a while."
Yu Rubing said she was going to leave, but Yu Miaoyin seemed afraid that Yu Rubing would leave, so she hurriedly said, "Why don't I accompany you for a walk?"
"No need!" Yu Rubing turned her down. "I want to be alone. Just go about your business!"
Without allowing Yu Miaoyin to try to keep her, Yu Rubing walked away.
Looking at Yu Rubing's gradually receding back, Yu Miaoyin's face showed a feeling of anxiety and panic, and her fingers were tightly entangled in the gauze outside her skirt.
Seeing Yu Rubing walk away, a group of girls came over and surrounded Yu Miaoyin, all of them speaking up for her. "Your sister is so cold and rude. She let your kindness go to waste. You know without a doubt, you must have had a hard time in her hands."
Watching Yu Rubing's back disappear before her eyes, Yu Miaoyin became even more anxious and uneasy. She just casually said, "Although my sister is usually a little willful, she treats me well."
After hearing this, the girls continued to criticize Yu Rubing, but Yu Miaoyin didn't hear a word they said. All she could think about was whether Yu Rubing had suddenly left to look for "that person"?
in the case of!
What will the two of them say when the sister meets "that person"?
My sister is so beautiful today, just like the sick Xi Shi in the painting. Will “that person” be fascinated by her after seeing her?
Of course!
Yu Miaoyin guessed that men always judge people by appearance. Which man would not like a beauty like my sister? Even if "that person" was unique, he would probably not be able to pass my sister's "beauty test."
no!
She couldn't just sit there and wait for death, watching "that person" walk towards her sister. Yu Miaoyin's mind had already wandered away, so she pretended to be unwell and said she wanted to go to her boudoir to rest for a while.
After hearing this, everyone offered words of comfort, but they had no idea that she was just making excuses. They all thought that she was ignored by Yu Rubing and was sad and didn't want to be seen by others, so she hid in her boudoir and was sad quietly.
After everyone comforted her, Yu Miaoyin nodded frequently and left.
Yu Rubing was well aware of Yu Miaoyin's mixed feelings after she left.
She had just taken a short nap and had a general understanding of the plot of this world.
This time, Yu Rubing was reborn as the legitimate daughter of an ancient official family.
In this world, sister Yu Miaoyin is the heroine of this world, and the hero is Di Wenbin, the son of General Di in the court.
At a horse riding competition held by the royal family, the heroine Yu Miaoyin met the hero Di Wenbin, and was deeply attracted by Di Wenbin's handsome figure and extraordinary appearance. Later, she was harassed by a gangster on the street. After being accidentally seen by Di Wenbin, Di Wenbin taught the gangster a lesson and rescued Yu Miaoyin. Yu Miaoyin was even more attracted to Di Wenbin, the hero who saved the beauty.
Since then, the heroine noticed Di Wenbin, and from time to time, intentionally or unintentionally, she would encounter Di Wenbin once or twice.
Gradually, Di Wenbin also became familiar with the heroine. After several contacts, the two were no longer so unfamiliar. Di Wenbin had a good impression of her, but unlike the heroine's favor for him, Di Wenbin only regarded her as an ordinary friend.
Although Yu Miaoyin felt a little disappointed at first, she later thought it through. After the two became friends, there would be opportunities for them to meet in the future. Yu Miaoyin believed that as long as she had deep feelings for Di Wenbin and stayed with him silently, sooner or later, Di Wenbin would be moved by her.
Yu Miaoyin had this idea at first, until she saw Di Wenbin walking with her sister Yu Rubing, and from her sister's eyes and words, she could tell that her sister had the same feelings towards Di Wenbin as she did, Yu Miaoyin could no longer hold back.
Because my sister Yu Rubing is too dazzling, I am dull standing next to her. How could Di Wenbin discover myself?
Unable to contain herself any longer, Yu Miaoyin began to test Di Wenbin's feelings. As a result, after some indirect questioning, Yu Miaoyin finally figured out that Di Wenbin didn't like either her or her sister, but a woman he had never even met.
When Di Wenbin met with an accident, was seriously injured, and was being hunted by his enemies, this mysterious woman secretly placed him in a secluded farm and sent a doctor to diagnose his pulse and prepare medicine for him every day.
Di Wenbin was unconscious at first, but after careful recuperation, he gradually recovered a lot. When he was drowsy and half awake and half unconscious, he only saw the blurry back of the woman. From then on, he fell deeply in love with the woman who he had never met but was his savior.
After Di Wenbin recovered from his injuries, the woman disappeared, and the people who took care of him kept silent about the woman's identity. Di Wenbin was very disappointed and could only suppress the strong longing in his heart.
Later, the Di family was framed, and General Di, the father of Di Wenbin, was falsely accused of treason. The entire Di family was thrown into prison, and their lives were in danger. During the trial in three courts, a crucial piece of evidence that could clear their name was presented to the court.
The Di family was cleared of all charges, and General Di was reinstated. He lamented that he didn't know which noble person had saved his entire family and yet never showed up again?
Although General Di didn't know, Di Wenbin had already guessed who saved his entire family.
Di Wenbin took great pains to find evidence and finally confirmed his idea that the person who saved him also saved his entire family.
From then on, Di Wenbin's mind was completely occupied by the blurry figure of the woman.
Later, during the royal autumn hunt, Di Wenbin was appreciated by the emperor and rose to prominence from then on, becoming the object of attachment for high-ranking officials and nobles. However, this also attracted a lot of jealousy, and some people even tried to trip him up secretly. However, all of them were resolved one by one. There were even a few very dangerous moments, but he was able to escape danger in the end.
Di Wenbin knew clearly in his heart that it was all thanks to the help of that noble man.
Di Wenbin also found that he began to miss someone like crazy. He vowed to find that benefactor, otherwise he would be unhappy for the rest of his life.
Di Wenbin also discovered that every time the noble man who saved him appeared, it was when he was in crisis. Once the crisis was resolved, the noble man would retire.
In order to force the noble man to show up, Di Wenbin set a trap for himself and jumped into it. When the illusion of crisis appeared, the noble man really appeared again.
Di Wenbin saw it clearly. When the familiar woman's back appeared, Di Wenbin recognized her at a glance. She was the person he had been thinking about day and night.
But Di Wenbin was too impatient and was exposed before the nobleman "fell into the trap". The nobleman realized that he had been tricked and hurried away.
When Di Wenbin saw that the nobleman wanted to escape, he hurried to stop him, but still failed. Di Wenbin regretted it very much. The only thing he was thankful for was that in his desperation, he snatched the sachet that the nobleman was wearing close to his body, thinking that he could use the sachet to find the nobleman.
Di Wenbin took the sachet and asked around in all the embroidery shops in the capital, and even asked the ladies from wealthy families. Finally, he found out that the embroidery on the sachet was done by Miaoyin.
Di Wenbin then realized that the woman who had been silently accompanying him but had always been ignored by him was actually the girl of his dreams.
As soon as the two figures overlapped, Di Wenbin and Yu Miaoyin fell in love with each other, and they quickly got together. From engagement to marriage, it was quickly completed.
There was just an episode in the middle. After Yu Miaoyin and Di Wenbin got engaged, Yu Rubing targeted Yu Miaoyin everywhere and tried to obstruct their engagement many times.
Di Wenbin originally had a good impression of Rubing, thinking that she was a smart and beautiful woman, but when she targeted and even bullied Yu Miaoyin, Di Wenbin did not hesitate to domineeringly protect his wife and even severely humiliated Yu Rubing.
Not long after Di Wenbin married Yu Miaoyin, the Yu family suffered a devastating disaster and was wiped out and their property was ransacked. Yu Miaoyin escaped this disaster because she was already married and her husband was a favorite of the current emperor.
When the Yu family was exterminated, Di Wenbin was still in the borderland. Later, after he returned to Beijing, he collected evidence and helped clear the Yu family's grievances.
At that time, in order to comfort his wife, Di Wenbin took out the sachet and wanted to uncover the dusty past. However, Yu Miaoyin knew nothing about this past and admitted that the sachet was from her hand, but this sachet was a gift from her to her sister Yu Rubing. She also asked how it ended up in Di Wenbin's hands?
When Di Wenbin learned the truth, he was shocked and almost died on the spot.
It turned out that the person he had been thinking about day and night was Yu Rubing, whom he hated and humiliated.
Di Wenbin regretted his decision and spent five years living a life worse than death. Fortunately, Yu Miaoyin took good care of him during this period, which helped Di Wenbin get out of the trough. In the end, he turned his debt to Rubing into doting on her sister Yu Miaoyin.
With the halo of the heroine, Yu Miaoyin and Di Wenbin lived happily.
After reading the entire plot, Yu Rubing had only three words in her mind - what a loss!
