Sister 3
Chapter 3
The dynasty that Yu Rubing traveled through was a parallel world called the Dayan Dynasty. There was no clear record of the era, but the general situation was similar to the Tang and Song dynasties in the real world.
In the Great Yan Dynasty, there were various restrictions on women, such as it was best not to go out of the main door or the back door, and to avoid strange men, but these were mainly aimed at women who had not yet married.
Fortunately, the Great Yan Dynasty is open-minded and very tolerant. Although the rules are set, even if they are not followed, it is not to the point of being intolerable by heaven and earth. At most, everyone will just laugh it off.
Therefore, relying on her father's favor, Yu Rubing always ignored these rules. And the strange thing is that, whether in ancient times or modern times, people seem to be particularly tolerant of beautiful people. Yu Rubing, with her appearance, was even more inclined to follow her own temperament.
Yu Rubing walked straight to the front yard and entered the reception hall. Everyone turned around to look at her. The moment they saw Yu Rubing, the originally lively and cheerful banquet suddenly became silent.
Yu Bohai watched his beloved daughter walk away in a swagger, and pretended to be angry and said, "You are so rude, girl. Why are you here making trouble instead of staying in the backyard with your grandmother?"
Although Yu Rubing was willful, she still knew how to be polite. As soon as she entered the door, she bent her knees to greet him, and then walked straight to her father's seat.
Yu Rubing walked over and sat next to Yu Bohai. She put her arm around Yu Bohai and rested her head on her father's shoulder, looking like a spoiled daughter. "Daddy, don't blame me. I was afraid that you would drink too much and feel uncomfortable all night, so I came to watch over you and prevent you from drinking too much."
Yu Bohai already felt sorry for his daughter, and now hearing Yu Rubing say this, he felt so happy that he had to force his lips to not laugh.
Most of the guests at the banquet were old friends of Yu Bohai, who had watched Yu Rubing grow up. They all knew that Yu Bohai loved this daughter the most, and they all praised Yu Bohai for being so lucky to have such a precious daughter who was not only beautiful, but also well-behaved and smart. No wonder her father loved her so much.
Everyone had a few drinks and was a little tipsy, so they kept praising each other, one after another. Yu Bohai was so proud of himself when he heard them that he kept saying humble words but his mouth was grinning.
Just as Yu's father and his friends were interacting and praising each other, Yu Rubing glanced over and saw a young man sitting at the last seat at the banquet who had not dared to look up since Yu Rubing entered the room.
It was him, about fifteen or sixteen years old, with delicate features and handsome appearance. Because of his poor family background, he was thin, but his manners were elegant, without the slightest air of poverty.
Next year he will be praised as a genius by the current emperor, and at the age of less than 20 he will enter the Wenyuan Pavilion and become the youngest Grand Secretary of this dynasty, Su Wenhan.
Later, because he did an excellent job in controlling the flooding of the Huanghe River, improving water conservancy and irrigation technology, and cracking down on official corruption, he quickly rose to prominence. At the age of 35, he became the prime minister of the dynasty. Later, he was also regarded as the best prime minister of the Dayan Dynasty.
At this time, Su Wenhan was still a frustrated scholar whose talent was not appreciated. Because an article he wrote by chance was seen by Yu Bohai, Yu Bohai admired the young man's talent very much, so he invited him to the banquet today.
Yu Bohai has always been a generous person. In the original plot, he had planned to help Su Wenhan, so he invited the unknown him to the banquet. After three rounds of drinks, Yu Bohai asked Su Wenhan if he needed his help?
Although Su Wenhan came from a poor family and was unsuccessful, he had a very noble character. He never accepted favors from others for nothing and was even ashamed to talk about his own difficulties. So when he heard that Yu Bohai was willing to lend a helping hand, he said that he had no difficulties and declined.
After hearing what he said, Yu Bohai didn't care anymore. After the banquet, when he woke up the next day, he had completely forgotten about Su Wenhan.
And Su Wenhan, after just one year, began to shine.
Just when Su Wenhan's career was going smoothly, the Yu family suffered a disaster. This was because Su Wenhan and Yu Bohai were only acquaintances, and they did not have much contact later. In addition, when the Yu family was imprisoned, Su Wenhan was in another province to control floods, so he was unable to lend a hand. The Yu family missed such a potential stock in vain.
It’s a pity to think about it.
Now that Yu Rubing has been reborn, he will certainly not miss the opportunity to seize this potential stock.
While Yu Rubing was thinking about this, the topic had unknowingly shifted to Su Wenhan.
An old friend of Yu Bohai pointed at Yu Rubing and said, "We've watched our niece Bingbing grow up. In our eyes, Bingbing is naturally the best. If you want to hear objective opinions, you have to ask someone who's meeting Bingbing for the first time. What would they say?"
As soon as the elder said this, he was immediately agreed by everyone present.
The elder turned sideways, looking at Su Wenhan, who hadn't raised his head, and asked softly, "Nephew Su, you've always been a steady person, and your words are very measured. Of all the people here, only Nephew Su and Miss Yu are meeting for the first time. Why don't you let Nephew Su give his opinion on whether Miss Yu is truly stunning?"
Hearing that everyone brought the topic to him, and it was about Yu Rubing, he didn't even dare to raise his head from the moment Yu Rubing entered the door. He felt very uneasy, afraid that he would do something rash and make Miss Yu misunderstand him as a frivolous person.
This is not Su Wenhan's fault. He is not a rigid and pedantic person, nor is he so scared that his legs go weak and he dares not speak when he sees a girl. When he first came to the capital, he was even teased by the prostitutes in brothels when he went out. Although Su Wenhan never set foot in places of brothels, when he heard those girls teasing him, Su Wenhan did not get scared as if he had seen a ghost and ran away without saying a word.
On the contrary, Su Wenhan joked with them a few times, his words were playful and humorous, but he did not lose his sense of propriety at all. He just laughed and talked and that was it.
Therefore, even when facing a young and beautiful girl, Su Wenhan would not be so nervous that he dared not look up or speak.
However, the Miss Yu in front of him was different!
When Yu Rubing walked in, Su Wenhan took a casual glance at her and was completely shocked. He had seen many women, many of whom were beautiful, but he had never seen one as beautiful as Miss Yu, to the point of being breathtaking.
Su Wenhan took only one look and immediately lowered his head. He was afraid that if he looked at it any longer, he would be stunned and make a fool of himself without realizing it.
After Miss Yu came in, everyone started talking, but he was the only one who felt very uncomfortable, sweating profusely, and felt uneasy all over.
Su Wenhan was already embarrassed enough, and now he was asked to evaluate Yu Rubing's appearance. Su Wenhan had never had such a strong urge to escape in his life.
But! There's no way to escape! You just have to face it head-on!
Moreover, we must not leave a bad impression on Miss Yu.
Su Wenhan calmed himself down, then bowed to everyone. His eyelids drooped slightly, his eyes fixed on the ground. He spoke sincerely, "Miss Yu is truly a beauty. I'm afraid that even in the entire world, it would be difficult to find someone who can compare to her."
These words of praise were both reasonable and unexpected.
After hearing this, everyone couldn't help but applaud and praise. It really touched everyone's heart.
A cultured person knows how to speak. He did not match Yu Rubing with the mortal world, but instead elevated her to the level of a celestial being. This is similar to the fresh and unworldly flattery that goes, "This song should only exist in heaven, how often can it be heard in the world?"
The elder who took the lead in asking Wu Wenhan to praise also nodded frequently, with a look of satisfaction on his face, and his flattery continued to ring out.
Yu Rubing listened to the praise and looked at Su Wenhan who didn't even raise his head. She knew that he was a little shy, but she couldn't help but want to tease him.
It can also be regarded as a way to get closer to future potential stocks and at least leave some impression on the future pride of the world.
Seeing that everyone was satisfied, Yu Rubing deliberately said in dissatisfaction: "Master Su, isn't this a bit too perfunctory?"
When everyone heard this, they were all shocked and didn't know why Yu Rubing said this. When Su Wenhan heard this, he was so scared that his face turned pale in an instant.
Yu Rubing continued, "Ever since I walked in, Master Su hasn't even raised his head, not even bothering to glance at me. How can he be called a celestial being?"
As soon as this was mentioned, everyone understood what was going on and started asking questions one after another. Su Wenhan seemed to be forced into a desperate situation. He was afraid that Yu Rubing would misunderstand him, so he quickly explained, "No, no, no! Miss Yu has misunderstood. The reason I didn't look up was that I didn't dare to look directly at Miss Yu. I was afraid that I might offend Miss Yu."
After hearing Su Wenhan's explanation, everyone started laughing. It turned out that Su Wenhan, who was always calm even when facing powerful people, was actually afraid to look at a beautiful girl.
Everyone burst into laughter, and Yu Rubing continued to tease him, "Master Su, are you trying to evade me? How can you be so rude after just one look? I'm afraid Master Su is so scared that he dares not look at me. Is there something scary growing on my face?"
As soon as Yu Rubing said this, everyone was amused by her witty remarks again.
Su Wenhan was even more embarrassed!
Yu Bohai also laughed non-stop, feeling that Su Wenhan was both pitiful and funny. He quickly comforted Su Wenhan, saying, "Nephew Su, since you've come to my humble abode, there's no need to be too formal. We all know that I'm not the type to act rudely, so just be casual!"
After hearing this, Su Wenhan breathed a sigh of relief and calmed himself down. He finally raised his head and glanced at Yu Rubing.
Although his eyes were blank when he glanced at Yu Rubing's cheek, all he saw was a vague outline at most.
However, this is already a great improvement!
During the meal, Yu Bohai also asked if Su Wenhan had any difficulties and whether he needed his help.
As expected, Su Wenhan said that he had no difficulties.
Di Wenbin arrived when the banquet was almost over, looking very satisfied and happy.
He didn't expect Yu Rubing to be here, so he hurried towards Yu Rubing, probably wanting to thank Yu Rubing for her help in bringing them together.
Yu Rubing just smiled at him faintly, then hurriedly left the table without giving him a chance to speak.
It was already dark, and most of the guests were drunk and were taken away in carriages driven by their servants.
Only Su Wenhan walked out of the Yu family's house alone. Thinking back to what happened at the banquet, he couldn't calm down for a long time.
Su Wenhan was thinking this when he suddenly heard someone calling him from behind, "Mr. Su, please stay?"
