Chapter 54
bywedge
The theory of parallel multiverses in quantum mechanics indicates that in the vast universe with the number of Ganges sands, there are always countless you, living similar but different lives.
Since the age of thirteen, Yan Zhao has had a little secret, she will dream about herself in another world,
And the self in the parallel world is actually a boy!
Although Yan Zhao did fantasize about being a boy when his aunt was dying of pain for the first time, but he never thought that it would come true, even in another parallel world.
The same parents and family, the same school, and even a similar upbringing experience, the only difference is that the other party's name is not Yan Zhao, but Yan Zhou. It was only after Yan Zhao asked her parents one time that she learned that when her mother was pregnant, she said the girl was Yan Zhao, and if it was a boy, it was Yan Zhou.
After being shocked at the beginning, Yan Zhao quickly adapted to this wonderful experience, and got along quite happily with Yan Zhou from the parallel world.
It's like having an extra close friend, or a brother or sister.
It's even better, because not only can they dream about each other's lives, but they occasionally swap lives, and after that Yan Zhao doesn't experience dysmenorrhea throughout her high school career.
God knows there is such a thing as time travel.
*****
The wheels rolled and crushed on the official road full of mountains and forests on both sides, causing a lot of dust to fly.
Daning was founded more than a hundred years ago, and it was a time of peace and prosperity, so there was no need to worry about bandits robbing their way. Moreover, their line of business was officials and officials, and there were many strong guards accompanying them, so the security was still very high.
Yan Zhao thought this way, the only drawback might be that the ancient chariots and horses were too bumpy.
Her complexion was not good along the way, and she could barely suppress the nausea churning in her stomach by relying on all kinds of sweet and sour preserves, leaning on the soft pillow in the carriage, and listening to her mother telling a lot Precautions for going to grandparents' house in Beijing.
Yan Zhao couldn't help but miss the life of being a salted fish house girl in Yunze County.
"Ma'am, please speak slowly, miss is feeling very uncomfortable." Looking at Yan Zhao's pale face, Yun Zhu, who was serving at the side in the carriage, couldn't help but feel distressed.
Yunzhu was Yan Zhao's mother's personal dowry, and she was loyal to her, even staying as a nanny when she was old without getting married. She also watched Yan Zhao grow up, and Yan Zhao also treated her as half an elder.
Xiao Mingjin, who used to be a wealthy daughter of Capital City and is now the wife of an official family, sighed with a headache, "I also blamed me for forgetting to tell her these things when I was at home earlier, and this child usually looks strong and lively.Dare to swim in the pond in summer, but it can't stand the bumps of cars and horses."
Yan Zhao wanted to say that the truth of motion sickness depends on the individual's physique, but it's a pity that she is a liberal arts student in modern times. She doesn't know how to make springs and shock absorbers and how to operate these things. She is just a useless scholar.
It seems that Yan Zhou learns mathematics, physics and chemistry. The next time she has a chance to ask him if he can improve the carriage, this thought flashed through her mind.
It has been almost sixteen years since Yan Zhao traveled to this ancient world, and her name is still Yan Zhao in this life, and her name has not changed.
Speaking of her own father, it is quite inspirational. She was born in a poor family, became a high school scholar at a young age, and married a famous daughter, that is, her mother Xiao Mingjin.
The Xiao family is noble, and it is also a well-known family of poetry and etiquette in this dynasty. It has also produced high-ranking concubines. At least every generation has someone who is an official in the court. The in-laws they formed are intricate.
The grandfather of Yan Zhao's direct relative was an official to the second-rank household department secretary, and her mother Xiao Mingjin was also the youngest daughter of the family. Putting it in front of Yan's father, who was an ordinary student at the time, was definitely a proper Capital City Bai Fumei, who marriedAfter that, we will have to struggle for another ten or twenty years.
In this way, Father Yan, who has a good hand of cards, has been an official for more than ten years, and he still stops at the position of Liupin county magistrate in this place after going around.
It has to be said that this has something to do with her father's arrogance and not knowing how to be flexible and flexible.
As for the Yue family's pull, it's a pity that her grandfather Xiao Shangshu passed away a little early, and the resources in the officialdom are not enough just to be close to Yan Zhao's uncle, so how can there be any extra for her father, the son-in-law? .
Moreover, there was more than one son-in-law in the grandfather Xiao's family, and her father even came to the back. heard that Yan Zhao's mother still had a fight with the family before she got what she wanted and married Yan's father.
Although it was a bit difficult to get promoted, but with such an in-law backer, no one would make mistakes and make things difficult for the small county magistrate, Father Yan.
Yan Zhao's eldest uncle inherited the resources and contacts of the Xiao family. heard that he is now the young minister of Guanglu Temple. He is a fourth-rank Beijing official, and the other daughters of the Xiao family are all married well.
When Yan Zhao was two years old, he followed his mother to visit his ancestral home, Xiao Mingjin reckoned that his daughter didn't remember much at that time. The capital city is no smaller than Yunze County, so you can do whatever you want, and respect rules everywhere, for fear of bumping into something. So she introduced to her daughter the situation of the Xiao family's family members.
The understanding is similar to that of Yan Zhao in the past, but this time Xiao Mingjin explained in more detail, not only the grandfather's family, but also the old relatives related to the Xiao family, seven aunts and eight aunts were not left behind.
It also highlighted a character, Xiao Mingjin's third sister, now Marquis JinYuan's wife Xiao Mingyun.
Xiao Mingjin smiled and said: "Although your third aunt was not born with my mother, but it is also recorded in your grandmother's name, she is a very powerful person..."
The more Yan Zhao listened to it, the more she felt it sounded familiar. It was too similar to the plot in a certain online novel "Concubine XX" recommended to her by her roommate during her vacation.
The heroine Xiao Mingyun is the daughter of a concubine. Her biological mother and aunt died young, and her father was unkind. She walked on thin ice in the high-end inner house, but she was unwilling to be manipulated by her fate. She relied on her tenacity and wisdom to plan and fight step by step, and finally reached the pinnacle of life. .
Yunzhu next to her also interjected: "Who would have thought that the third girl who was not outstanding at the time would have such a great fortune. I heard that Marquis JinYuan is also a holy family in court."
"Not only is she married well, but her children are also well-destined. They have both children, unlike me..." Xiao Mingjin said enviously.
"Madam's words are despising Miss. I don't like to hear such words. Our lady is smart and smart, no worse than others." Yunzhu, as an old man beside Madam, is used to getting close, but occasionally surpasses her. It's okay to joke a few words.
Yan Zhao blushed a little when she heard it. She was an adult when she wore it, and she naturally behaved better than ordinary children. She didn't expect to be admired by the people around her.
Xiao Mingjin sighed and said, "I'm not worried that Ah Zhao will be bullied if he doesn't have a brother to support him in the future."
When Xiao Mingjin gave birth, she hurt her body and had nothing to do with it, but there was only this one daughter, who was also Xiao Mingjin's heart flesh.
Xiao Mingjin stroked his daughter's beautiful hair, and the emotion in his eyes was slightly sad.
To say that what Yan Zhao is most satisfied with is his appearance in this life, which is completely based on all the advantages of his parents.
Xiao Mingjin was originally the most outstanding-looking sister among the sisters, a delicate girl who was raised in a pile of beautiful pearls and jade, not to mention Father Yan, if it wasn't for his good looks, handsome and elegant, how could he make the daughter of the Xiao family fall in love at first sight and cry? I have to marry.
As the saying goes, one knows the kindness of one's parents only after raising a child, and now Xiao Mingjin understands all kinds of worries that his mother had on his marriage in the past.
It is a good thing that the daughter is getting better and better, but with her husband's official position, it is difficult to marry into a noble family. But if she was looking for an ordinary person, she was afraid that Zhao'er would be wronged, and she was afraid that the person she married would not be able to protect her.
A few years ago, Xiao Mingjin didn't think much about it, it was the letter from her natal mother who reminded her and persuaded her to come to Capital City to see if she could find a good marriage.
Yan Zhao didn't know what her mother was thinking, she was still trying to recall more of the novel's content,
If it is said that Xiao Mingyun is a concubine who rebelled against her superiors, then her mother was the spoiled and self-willed daughter of the concubine who fell in love at first sight with a handsome son from a poor family. Let her husband be an official. The romance of young Mu Seai is no match for the reality of daily necessities, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar and tea, and only gave birth to a daughter, but she was injured and had nothing to do. Being rejected by her mother-in-law is mostly a miserable life.
It forms a contrast with the happy and complete life of the heroine Mrs. Gui Weihou who has three sons and one daughter in a row, and is even taken as a warning by the girls of the next few generations of the Xiao family.
The corners of Yan Zhao's mouth twitched slightly, her mother's life was not as bad as what was belittled in the novel.
At least according to her observation, the relationship between her parents is still very good,
Her mother can tell that the person who has been pampered to be simple and straightforward has not changed much over the years. According to the model of marrying an ancient poor family in this Ruhua book, if you meet someone who is not good, or someone who is greedy for wealth and wealth and has a deep scheming, I am afraid that you will be eaten alive.
Fortunately, Father Yan is a true gentleman, and he has never taken concubines or adopted a concubine for so many years. Even if her grandmother made things difficult for her mother, Father Yan was more clear about it and protected their mother and daughter.
No matter whether he respects the family status of his maternal grandfather's family or not, regardless of his heart in everything, Father Yan has finally fulfilled his promise to be only her mother.
Although Xiao Mingjin's heart is bigger, but he is not confused, and he loves his husband very much, even if he is worried that he will not be able to have any more children, he never took the initiative to ask about taking concubines.
Yan Zhao also likes her mother, so she can't wrong herself no matter what.
However, this is also the confidence that comes from being pampered and raised since childhood, and having the support of her high-status natal family and the respect and love of her husband.
There is also Yan Zhao's patriarchal grandmother, although it is difficult to get along with, and she doesn't like her granddaughter who cannot inherit the incense, but she seldom sees each other anyway. The second son's support directly avoided the conflict between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
Father Yan was released as an official, and he would not leave his post easily without the permission of the imperial court.I haven't seen Yan Zhao's mother, Xiao Mingjin, who has been with Yan's father for more than ten years in the local area, so it's rare to go back to her mother's house in Capital City?
So even if there are any bad relatives, there are not many opportunities to contact them.
The standard of living of the Yan family is not as good as that of Miss Qianjin. After all, Father Yan is also a sixth-rank magistrate, and he is honest and upright. With his little salary, he can barely support a family of three.
When her mother came out of the court, she was married with a large dowry, not to mention the rich clothes and good food as in Xiao's family, but there is always more than enough for food and clothing.
It's just that Xiao Mingjin traveled to many places following her husband's release as an official, and some dowry stewards could not be brought along, and she had to buy new shops and fertile land properties. She is not good at management, and the dowry will inevitably shrink after a few years Less, even a little beyond our means.
When Yan Zhao was seven years old, she really couldn't see her mother being fooled by the stewards below, so she simply showed her intelligence and talent in this area and took over the management.
What she studied in modern times is business management, and she has seen many advanced business concepts and means, which is naturally not a problem. She didn't dare to go too far, to make some advanced inventions, for fear that Father Yan would be impeached by someone with a heart and would fight for the interests of the people, and in the end he would lose his hat, and that would be a loss outweighed the gain.
With such caution, it is enough to take care of Xiao Mingjin's dowry business, and ensure that the life of the Yan family is nourished.
In the past two years, Xiao Mingjin also took the initiative to reduce a lot of large expenses. Yan Zhao asked Yunzhu privately, saying that he wanted to save a dowry for her.
The novel is just a novel. Yan Zhao has been in contact with Xiao Mingjin and Yan's father for more than ten years. They are real, flesh-and-blood parents who love her, not much worse than her modern parents.
Xiao Mingjin in the book is a pampered and willful first-born daughter, but in front of Yan Zhao, she is the mother who loves her daughter wholeheartedly. Father Yan is not as good as the male lead, who is an extremely human minister, and he is not well versed in officialdom and sophistication, but as a parent official, he is down-to-earth, honest and upright, and never slacks off.
Generally speaking, Yan Zhao is quite satisfied with her life after time travel.
The parents are healthy and loving. Even in this feudal ancient times, there were no three wives and four concubines. The family population was simple and there were no disputes.
Although Yan's father is not a long-sleeved and good dancer in the officialdom, he is also a scholar of two ranks, and one of his parents is an official. In modern times, at least she is the leader of a prefecture-level county magistrate, and Yan Zhao has also assumed the identity of a serious official lady. She doesn't need to go to the fields to work as a slave or a servant girl, eat chaff and swallow vegetables, and live a relaxed and rich life.
What is there to be dissatisfied with?
Speaking of it, Yan Zhao was quite puzzled, why her mother took her back to her grandfather's house all of a sudden.
On grandmother's 50th birthday the year before last, just packed a congratulatory gift and sent it back to Capital City. Could there be something more important?
Yan Zhaoyou asked her mother, but this time her mother, who is usually quite silly and sweet, talked about other things. She only said that her grandmother missed her. Yan Zhao went to ask Aunt Yunzhu, but the latter also kept her mouth shut. Do not say.
This made Yan Zhao suspect that there was another purpose for returning to Capital City this time, but she did not object, and she also had a little secret in Capital City.
Fortunately or unfortunately, her little friend Yan Zhou from another parallel world also came through.
I still remember that when we made an appointment to watch Comet, Yan Zhao also joked about a certain movie, maybe they could see more parallel world counterparts, even the gender can be changed, and it is possible to change the race, but the result was It was Yan Zhao and Yan Zhou who both wore it.
In Yan Zhao's third year in this world, when he was still a baby, he dreamed of Yan Zhou again.
Unlike Yan Zhao who dressed as the daughter of an ordinary sixth-rank official, his identity was the sixth prince of the Daning Dynasty, Si Tuzhou.
I don't know what the principle of time and space is, even the time traveled is earlier than Yan Zhao.
After knowing it in a dream, Yan Zhao drooled enviously. The character of this reincarnation is too good. In the future, he might wake up and take over the power of the world, and lie drunk on the lap of a beauty. But after knowing that Situ wakes up earlier than chickens, goes to bed later than dogs, goes to the Shang study every day to attend classes, and only has five days off throughout the year as a prince, Yan Zhao is no longer sour.
If we say that what she is most satisfied with after time travel is that she can be a house girl without any struggle.
Yan Zhao and Si Tuzhou's dream contacts were relatively frequent at the beginning, and then the intervals became longer and longer, only enough to confirm the other's life status.
The last time had a dream was two years ago. This is a rare opportunity to meet friends in Capital City, and Yan Zhao doesn't want to miss it.
After traveling for more than half a month, Yan Zhao finally arrived in Capital City with his mother.
The prosperity and prosperity of the capital city cannot be compared with other places. Just looking at the bustling pedestrians in the city, one can clearly feel the atmosphere of the peaceful and prosperous times.
The one who greeted them first was a young man in blue robes and brocade clothes who was seventeen or eighteen years old.
"Nephew Jingxuan has seen Fourth Aunt and Cousin, and my grandmother specially ordered me to come here to pick up Fourth Aunt and Cousin Yan."
As soon as Yan Zhao heard it, he knew that this was Xiao Jingxuan, the eldest son of the uncle's family.
Xiao Mingjin also smiled when he saw him, with a friendly attitude, and introduced him, "This is your cousin Yan Zhao."
When Xiao Jingxuan saw the cousin of the Yan family behind her aunt, she was amazed for a moment by her outstanding appearance, but she quickly avoided her eyes and said hello to her cousin. It can be seen that she is a young man who values etiquette.
Yan Zhao was not shy, and looked at his cousin generously.
After all, in terms of psychological age, Xiao Jingxuan, who is only eighteen years old, is just a minor high school student in her eyes.
Xiao's grandfather passed away when he was less than fifty. During his lifetime, he had five daughters and four sons. They can be called prosperous descendants. Most of the noble families in ancient times were like this, but one of them died young and one daughter died young. The woman went to the temple because of a mistake in her early years.
Even when Xiao Mingjin talked about the situation of the Xiao family with his daughter, he deliberately avoided mentioning it.
But Yan Zhao, who recalled the plot of the novel, knew that that person was the cannon fodder who was jealous and framed the heroine Xiao Mingyun in the house fight, but was tricked to ruin her reputation and was finally sent to the family temple for repair.
Among the Xiao family's children who are still present, apart from the two concubine sons who were released to serve as officials in the southeast, and the eldest daughter Xiao Minghua who was stationed in the border with her husband.And in Capital City is the eldest brother Xiao Tingen who is a compatriot with Xiao Mingjin's mother, and the third aunt who is the heroine of the novel Xiao Mingyun.
I don't see many relatives here, and it also saves me a lot of hard work.
The eldest uncle Xiao Tingen is currently the Shaoqing of Guanglu Temple. The eldest aunt was born in the Gaoping Fan family. It was the Xiao family who made the money.
Not to mention the pillar Xiao Shangshu died of a serious illness within a few years, the eldest uncle Xiao Tingen and Ding You were still able to stay in the capital three years later, and were often taken care of by the Yue family for his official career. The eldest son, Xiao Jingxuan, is quite promising, he won the examination at the age of fifteen, and he is also the first name in the capital, Xie Yuan.
I heard that next year he will take the Jinshi examination, he is definitely a young talent.
Yan Zhao also heard from Xiao Mingjin that her eldest aunt, because of her family background, is the most particular about etiquette and rules, and she has never tolerated sand in her eyes.
Speaking of it, Xiao Mingjin herself still had lingering fears. She was still in her boudoir when the elder sister-in-law entered the door. Seeing how the elder sister-in-law quickly took away the power of the Xiao family without making a fuss, she was careful with her mother-in-law and thoughtful in everything. Appropriate, people can't find any faults, and even praised her reputation of filial piety.
In addition, Fan Shi also invited the mother-in-law released from the palace for the sister-in-laws in the family. She was beaten by the mother for two days. If it wasn't for her mother's love and crying, she might not be able to escape.
In the mother's letter, she also mentioned that she wanted Ah Zhao to pair up with Jing Xuan, so that the fat water would not flow into the field of outsiders.
Xiao Mingjin couldn't be more satisfied with his good-looking nephew Xiao Jingxuan, but when he thought of his sister-in-law Fan Shi, he felt a little guilty, so he didn't agree for the time being, and only agreed to bring his daughter to Capital City to have a look.
Yan Zhao still doesn't know what it means for his mother and grandmother to have a cousin. The way he looks at Cousin Xiao in front of him is the way he used to look at the top students in his previous life. The fifteen-year-old Capital City Xie Yuanlang,The real value is absolutely sufficient.
Not surprisingly, Jinshi will be appropriate in the future, just a few years ago and a few years later.
Yan Zhao's academic performance in modern times has always been very casual, hovering in the middle when she is poor, but she can perform exceptionally well in the key exams, and she is admitted to the university and major she likes. According to her parents and teachers, she is smart and hard-working. Deficiency means that the mind is more loose and difficult to settle down.
Even though he traveled to ancient times, apart from helping his mother manage the dowry industry and giving ideas to solve some problems, Yan Zhao didn't want to show that he was different from ordinary people in other places.
Let go of all the things that are required in daily life if you can learn them well, and don't spend too much effort to do better, so there is nothing to blame. Time travel is already hard enough, why make yourself so tired.
So she is purely lazy, but fortunately she has parents who love and indulge her.
Xiao Jingxuan's attitude was gentle yet solemn, "Fourth aunt and cousin are exhausted all the way."
When they arrived at Xiao's mansion, Mrs. Xiao and Xiao Mingjin hugged their heads and cried for a while. Mrs. Xiao blamed the unfilial daughter on her lips, but the excitement and joy in her eyes were almost overflowing, and anyone could see it.
Xiao Mingjin pulled his daughter over again, "Mother, this is Ah Zhao."
Yan Zhaotong has only met Mrs. Xiao a few times in total. To say the least, he has no deep feelings, but he is still closer than his grandmother. Mrs. Xiao's uninterrupted letters during the holidays, and the letters sent to Capital City every yearNew expensive jewelry and clothes.
Not to mention the expensive gifts, but compared to the fact that the grandmother didn't care about it, even if everything was to urge Yan's father to take a concubine and give birth to a son to inherit the incense, Mrs. Xiao's concern is still easier to be liked.
Moreover, the love and care revealed in Yan Zhao's gaze is not fake.
So she blessed her naturally, and said with a sweet smile, "Yan Zhao has met grandma."
"Azhao is a nice girl at first glance. She looks good, and she is sensible, well-behaved and loving." Mrs. Xiao held Yan Zhao in her arms, and said in a loving tone: "Your mother is a cruel one, go After leaving Jiang Nan, I haven’t come back to visit more these years, so that my grandma will love you more.”
After seeing Mrs. Xiao, also met aunt Fan. She was about forty years old, she looked very dignified and elegant, and she behaved like a standard mistress of aristocratic family. Behind her was a graceful girl in emerald green clothes. .
The eldest uncle Xiao Tingen has only one son and one daughter, besides Xiao Jingxuan, the most accomplished eldest son, there is also Xiao Qingyue, who was born in the concubine's room, who is the same age as Yan Zhao, only two months older. It is probably because the eldest aunt is strict in running the family, or the eldest uncle is not very sexually oriented and has few wives and concubines.
