Sister 4
Chapter 4
Hearing the voice asking him to stay, Su Wenhan couldn't help but become nervous again.
It’s Yu Rubing!
She came again, to find me, what was it about?
Could it be because of what happened at the banquet? If so, he would have to apologize to her again. He didn't even bother to look at Yu Rubing.
Su Wenhan calmed himself down and looked back at Yu Rubing. Because of the darkness of the night, he couldn't see Yu Rubing's eyes clearly, which made him face Yu Rubing calmly.
Yu Rubing came over with a maid, holding a lantern to light the way. Yu Rubing was holding a bundle in her hand. She came over and said softly, "I wanted to tell you at the banquet just now, but there were so many people around, so I thought I would wait until there was no one around to tell Master Su."
Yu Rubing handed over the bundle as he spoke. "Mr. Su, this is what my father wanted. Inside is three hundred taels of silver and a few herbs for treating typhoid fever. Please accept them."
Su Wenhan heard this and immediately waved his hands, saying, "No! I have no relationship with Lord Yu, how can I accept such a favor?"
Yu Rubing went on to explain, "Mr. Su, you're too polite. Meeting was fate. This small gift isn't a favor. Besides, my father knows that Mr. Su brought his mother to Beijing for the imperial examinations, and that my aunt caught cold on the way. These medicines are for her. Once she recovers, Mr. Su can use the silver in his bag and find a decent inn to stay in. We must not let my aunt suffer."
Seeing Su Wenhan's resolute attitude wavering, Yu Rubing continued to persuade him, "Young Master Su has always been a filial son. He probably wouldn't let his mother suffer just for the sake of face, right?"
After hearing this, Su Wenhan nodded in agreement and accepted Yu Rubing's bag.
After a few polite words, Su Wenhan left.
Walking on the empty streets, a warm current flowed through Su Wenhan's heart.
Su Wenhan could guess that Yu Bohai was already drunk and would not care about such a trivial matter. This was clearly Yu Rubing's idea.
It turned out that Yu Rubing knew everything about his family background.
Thinking of this, Su Wenhan squeezed the bundle in his hand hard, feeling a warmth and satisfaction he had never felt before.
After seeing Su Wenhan off, Yu Rubing turned around and saw Di Wenbin coming out.
Di Wenbin kept watching until Yu Rubing gave Su Wenhan the bag and said some considerate words before sending Su Wenhan away.
Di Wenbin looked at it and felt indescribable weirdness in his heart!
He felt that Yu Rubing seemed like a different person. She used to be condescending, cold and distant towards others.
Apart from being nice to him, I have never paid much attention to other people.
But now, she seemed like a stranger to me, but was very considerate, gentle and thoughtful to Mr. Su, whom I had only met once.
Di Wenbin couldn't help but wonder if he had offended Yu Rubing in some way?
He just found out that Yu Miaoyin was the person he loved, and Yu Rubing was Yu Miaoyin's sister. They would have more opportunities to meet in the future, and it would not be good to have a bad relationship with her.
Di Wenbin was about to step forward and test Yu Rubing's attitude.
Yu Rubing turned around and glanced at Di Wenbin, only smiling politely before saying, "Mr. Di, are you going back? It's getting late. Then Mr. Di, please go back early and be careful on the road."
After saying that, Yu Rubing went back home without looking back, and did not give Di Wenbin a chance to speak.
Di Wenbin was also stunned. Yu Rubing's attitude didn't seem like she was angry, nor did it seem like she had offended her, but it was really too distant. He didn't know what was going on.
Di Wenbin couldn't figure it out, so he shook his head and went back.
In the world that Yu Rubing traveled to this time, the original owner was from an official family. His family was naturally well-off and he did not need to worry about making a living. As long as he lived a peaceful and trouble-free life, everything would be fine.
In the original world, the original owner's family encountered an official family, and the thing they were most worried about happening was that the Yu family was tragically wiped out.
There are actually two reasons for this. On the surface, it seems that the original owner intervened in the feud between the Di family and caused trouble, but if you look into it, it is actually the Yu family themselves. Now only Yu Bohai is an official in the Yu family, and Yu Bohai has a quiet nature and likes to study. He has always avoided official affairs, especially factionalism and power struggles.
The current emperor hates factionalism in the court. Yu Bohai's way of being an official naturally wins the emperor's favor. But for himself, is being a good minister with a clean record the best choice?
Judging from the failed case of the Yu family, it is obviously not the case. Yu Bohai was too naive and thought that if he did not provoke others, others would not make things difficult for him. In fact, it was right not to get involved in muddy waters, but he must have the ability to fight off the enemy when others provoke him.
If you want to have the ability to protect yourself, there are two ways: the first is to become strong and become a powerful official, then no one can shake you; the second is to seek external help, that is, to make friends with powerful people, so that when you encounter a crisis, there will naturally be someone to extend a strong helping hand.
According to the situation of the Yu family, Yu Bohai is very talented in academics, but he is not proficient in the ways of being an official. Forcing him to do something will not help, so they can only choose the second path. Since Yu Bohai can no longer be relied upon, the Yu family can only rely on Yu Rubing herself.
Fortunately, Yu Rubing had read the original plot, which described the overall background. Excluding the old and dim-sighted emperor, there were a total of four golden thighs to hold in this world.
The first pillar is Di Wenbin. After Di Wenbin was appreciated by the emperor, he made many outstanding achievements on the border. He not only inherited his father's position as general, but also successfully became the emperor's confidant.
Yu Rubing eliminated the first golden thigh without thinking.
The second golden thigh is Su Wenhan. Su Wenhan's career path was very smooth later on, and his official position became higher and higher. Because of his upright character, he had a high prestige in the court and was also the most respected minister of the emperor.
Su Wenhan is easy to deal with. Yu Rubing has already established contact with him. If we deepen our contact in the future, I believe he will become a friend who is willing to help us.
The third pillar is Yang Yunfei, who was born into a family of military generals. His father is on par with General Di, and Yang Yunfei is on par with Di Wenbin. He fights on the border all year round and holds military power. He often competes with Di Wenbin secretly and dislikes Di Wenbin very much.
Yu Rubing likes this thigh very much. The fact that she is not on good terms with Di Wenbin alone is enough to give her extra points. Moreover, Yang Yunfei is a righteous man who would go through fire and water for his friends. This is a thigh to prevent future troubles. Once Yu Rubing cannot reverse the original outcome, she might as well rebel against Yang Yunfei.
The fourth thigh is the current King of Qi, who is also the emperor's nephew. He has just passed the age of twenty and seems to have no interest in state affairs. He only seeks pleasure every day, but secretly makes friends with civil officials and bribes military generals. When the time is right, he shows his claws and becomes a powerful prince. He has controlled the government for more than 20 years. This is the thickest thigh in the team of golden thighs.
The King of Qi is the most worthy person to make friends with, but he is also the most difficult to conquer. He seems easy to fool, but in fact he is moody and extremely difficult to control. You must be especially careful when interacting with him. Once you fail to do so, you may die faster.
After completing the strategy, Yu Rubing had a rough plan in mind and knew what to do next.
Just as Yu Rubing was lying in bed thinking, the maid Xiaoying knocked on the door and called out, "Miss! Miss, are you up?"
Yu Rubing replied.
Xiaoying continued, "Miss, the old lady asked me to wake you up for breakfast?"
"Got it!" Yu Rubing said, "Come in!"
Xiaoying pushed the door open and came in, then waved to several other maids to come in and help Yu Rubing get dressed and wash up.
While serving her attentively, Xiaoying glanced at Yu Rubing's face. Seeing that Yu Rubing looked normal, she slowly and tentatively said, "Miss, the old lady is going to a banquet hosted by the old princess at the Qi Palace today. The old lady said that the old princess specifically instructed that the old lady bring young lady with her, and..." Xiaoying's face flashed with hesitation when she said this, and then she said with a stiff upper lip, "The old lady asked young lady to dress nicely."
After saying this, especially the last sentence, Xiaoying's heart was in suspense, fearing that Yu Rubing would lose her temper like usual.
Xiaoying knows Yu Rubing's temper very well. She dresses and looks according to her temper. Once she is asked to dress up to meet someone, she will definitely throw a tantrum again.
But Yu Rubing had a face like a fairy, so the old lady loved to take her with her to banquets. Yu Rubing would go if she wanted to, and would act like a spoiled brat if she didn't want to go.
Yu Rubing used to love going there. After all, who doesn’t like to be in the spotlight? But now she doesn’t want to go there anymore. Maybe she’s tired of it?
Her dressing style became more and more casual and simple, as if except when she was going to meet Master Di, she would dress up carefully, and the rest of the time she would just muddle through.
Today... I'm afraid he'll turn it down after he loses his temper?
Xiaoying was thinking this when she didn't see Yu Rubing lose her temper. There wasn't even a hint of impatience on her face. Instead, she said calmly, "Okay! Go pick out something bright and colorful."
Xiaoying almost dropped her jaw when she heard this. Why did Yu Rubing change her temper today? She stammered, "Okay! Miss, wait patiently!"
Xiaoying hurriedly opened the wardrobe and picked out a dress that Yu Rubing usually liked. The color was quite bright, and Yu Rubing looked even more dazzling when she put it on.
Xiaoying took the dress and asked, "Miss, is this one okay?"
Yu Rubing took a quick look and said, "This is it!"
Xiaoying immediately helped Yu Rubing put it on.
Seeing Yu Rubing dressed, Xiaoying was startled.
She is indeed a stunning beauty.
Xiaoying has served Yu Rubing for three years, and has seen this face day and night for three years, but she is still stunned by the beauty of this face.
I heard from the personal maid who used to serve Yu Rubing that any servant who served Yu Rubing, no matter how beautiful a woman was in the future, would feel that she was not even one-tenth as beautiful as Yu Rubing.
Sakura completely believed this statement.
After washing and dressing up, Yu Rubing went to meet Old Madam Yu.
In addition to being an honest official, Yu Bohai is also an out-and-out filial son. The mother and son are truly loving and filial. Old Madam Yu is a kind and wise old woman. Yu Bohai dotes on Yu Rubing, and Old Madam Yu dotes on Rubing even more.
In the Yu family, only Yu Rubing received such treatment. The elders had already sat down at the dinner table, and the younger generation had just gotten up and washed up, feeling embarrassed to be late.
