After traveling through time, I became Han Zhang’s grandson?

My name is Yu Yanran, and I was born in a powerful family in Bianjing, the capital of the Song Dynasty.

My grandfather was the Grand Tutor of the time, my grandmother was the daughter of a high-ranking official, and although my father was mediocre, he was able to become a Vice Minister thanks to the protection of my grandfather. My mother came from a scholarly family.

As the eldest daughter, I was loved and cared for by the whole family from the moment I was born. Those were the happiest days of my life.

Unfortunately, just like the unpredictable changes in the world, my life also began to have waves.

In the first year of Huangyou, my mother, who had always been with me and cared for me...passed away.

Me, six years old.

I can’t remember what that day was like. The only thing that remains in my memory is...it rained so heavily!

My grandfather, grandmother, and father taught me for the first time what death meant. It turned out that my mother would never come back...

I didn't understand why my mother smiled and said she didn't forgive my father before she died. Until seven days later, on the seventh day after my mother's death, that woman came.

When I first saw Fang, I thought she was very beautiful, but her beauty was mixed with a hint of resentment.

I don't know who she is targeting, her father, her mother... or me?

But I knew one thing clearly, she was going to be my mother, or rather... stepmother.

Her father loved her very much, indulged her, and was spineless enough to obey her in everything.

I'm not just talking nonsense. The whole Yu family is spreading the news, including my grandparents' courtyard. They are very dissatisfied with this stepmother.

The turning point of things always comes suddenly when you least realize it. My half-sister was born.

It was a sunny day. Yanhong's arrival brought a lot of popularity to the family. She was also the second child of stepmother Yu Fang.

Above her is Yu Jia Erlang, my nominal younger brother.

In the days without Yanhong, Erlang was always closer to me. Even though my stepmother had tried to dissuade him many times, since we were the only two children in the Yu family, he still liked to be close to me.

The birth of Yanhong not only made me lose my younger brother of the same age, but also made me lose my nominal father and half of my childhood.

Why is it half a childhood, then I will say, hehe! (*^▽^*)

From that day on, my life fell into complete darkness and desolation.

My father doesn’t love me, my stepmother hates me, my stepsister is naughty, and my stepsbrother helps me. In an instant, I, the eldest daughter of the Yu family, seem to be surrounded by enemies and become a dispensable person.

I tried to please them in my own way, not for anything else, but just to make their family accept me.

After all, my last name is Yu!

But just like what my future husband often said: A forced melon is not sweet, and being too pushy is not a good deal.

My humble flattery and show of weakness were met with even more intense hostility and persecution.

In the second year of Huangyou, a clan school was opened in my family. As the eldest daughter, I had to set an example and take the initiative to learn.

But Erlang and Yanhong didn't think so. They resisted going to school and even resented me for being so pretentious in order to please their father.

I don't think so. I'm just fulfilling my duties.

They, along with the children from the Yu family school, tore up my homework, broke my writing brush, splashed ink all over my face, and threw away the small schoolbag that my mother had prepared for me before she passed away.

In the end, Yanhong seemed to be still unsatisfied, and she brought the girls to press me into the shallow pool next to the rockery and beat me.

The boys from the Yu family around me seemed to be under a spell, standing still and looking at me, the eldest daughter of the Yu family, with a smile on their faces.

I don't know what I did to offend them, just like I don't understand why my light is a boy I have never met.

"boom--!"

"Snapped--!"

"Plop——!"

"Crack——!"

"Ouch——!"

"Who are you?! How dare you attack me in my Yu Mansion?!"

"Let go! Do you know who I am?! Believe it or not, I'll tell my parents!"

"what--!"

"Oh my god, stop fighting, I give up!"

"..."

Just when I was about to suffocate, a loud noise came into my ears.

Then I felt a pair of tender and young hands holding my waist, easily lifting me out of the water and placing me next to the rockery.

I coughed violently and felt dizzy as I tried to see the other person clearly.

It was a boy, who seemed to be one or two years older than me. He was standing on a half-meter-high stone, looking at them majestically.

"Listen up, you guys! I'm Han Ming, the grandson of Han Zhang, the Deputy Privy Councilor. If you're capable, come and file a complaint!"

The boy looked at all the Yu family members with disdain, and he seemed to be in high spirits.

That was the first time I met him. He was like the sun, cutting through my darkness without any reason or basis, and forcing his way into my life...

"Your name is Yu Yanran!"

The boy's childish yet resolute voice echoed above my head. He merged with the sunlight behind him, making it difficult for me to open my eyes.

But I could feel his smile, gentle and warm like the sun. My heart seemed to be struck by something, and I stared at him blankly.

He was very different from the sons of powerful nobles in Bianjing City. He seemed to be very ignorant of etiquette and would never call a girl by her name when they met for the first time.

Normally, people outside would respectfully address me as "Miss Yu", but he was the only one who was so straightforward and called me by my full name.

I was shocked by the way he appeared and greeted me, and I just stared at him blankly.

I know I look ugly and shameful now, but I just can't help looking at his face.

It seems... this is my savior...

"This little schoolbag is yours, right? It has your name embroidered on it. Don't throw it away next time."

The boy smiled and handed the wet schoolbag back to me, then like a magic trick, he took out a "pear" from behind and stuffed it into my arms.

"It's home-grown, pure and pollution-free. My hometown says eating this can help you get rid of heat. You should try it..."

With the boy present, the children of the Yu family did not dare to come forward, but the sound of fighting still disturbed the grandfather, grandmother, father, stepmother, and the Han family members who came to visit.

They looked at Yu Jiazi lying on the ground and me being protected by the boy, and their faces turned ugly.

The stepmother quickly squatted down and hugged Yanhong, who was slapped on the face, and wanted to scold the boy.

result...

"Mother, Father said a few days ago that he wanted to find a concubine for his son. I have met the person who came. She is quite arrogant and secretly relies on her power to look down on my son, the eldest son."

"I was so angry that I ordered someone to beat them up and kick them out. I'm sure mother won't mind."

Everyone present was a shrewd person. Although the boy was making fun of his own father, his accusations were so clear that it was clear who he was targeting.

My father and stepmother had bad faces, and my grandparents loved me the most since I was a child and never let me suffer any grievances.

"I think he's right. Those who bully others by taking advantage of their power should be beaten!"

My grandfather came over angrily, pulled me up, patted the dried mud off my body, and then took my hand and walked towards his yard.

I know that from now on, although I have no parents and no brothers and sisters, I still have the love of my grandparents.

I turned around blankly and looked at the grinning boy, and the next second...

"You're getting bolder and bolder. You even dare to make fun of your father?!"

Mrs. Lu reached out, pinched the boy's ear and pulled him out. The boy's cry of pain echoed throughout half the courtyard.

But the eldest lady of the Han family never pursued the issue of his fighting from beginning to end, as if...she thought he did the right thing?

It was not until many years later when I asked him about this matter that he said that his father did have some involvement with a concubine outside the mansion at that time, and he just went with the flow.

The next time they met was at a wedding banquet at the Han Mansion. He heard that his aunt Han was getting married.

The boy looked very embarrassed when blocking the door, but his amazing poetry competition with his future uncle was unforgettable.

Maybe it was because of his precocity, or because of gratitude, or because of the boy’s amazing talent, or because of his bright smile.

At that moment, my heart was pounding as a young child, and for the first time I had an idea: I want to marry him!

Feeling unacceptable, going deeper.

Maybe my gaze was too passionate, the boy tilted his head to look at me, smiled, and walked up to me.

"Miss Yu is also here to attend my aunt's wedding banquet, why isn't she going in?"

My father and stepmother disagreed, so I could only wait outside the door like a servant.

I didn't say a word, just bit my lip and said nothing.

The boy seemed to have thought of something, took out a few copper coins from his pocket and threw them to the Yu family's coachman who was waiting behind me.

"This is wedding money. There will be free food and drinks at the back door of the Han Mansion today. You can go and join us. The host won't blame you."

The boy's wedding money and words made the Yu family's coachman look happy. He thanked and congratulated him repeatedly, tied up the carriage, and rushed to the back door of the Han family with nimble legs and feet.

"Come on, I'll take you to a nice place!"

The boy didn't care about my simple attire and slightly dirty face. He took my hand and walked into the Han Mansion.

After walking around here and there, we arrived at a quiet courtyard.

"The decoration here hasn't been completed yet, and no one passes by. You don't have to worry about being discovered by the Yu family."

The boy let go of my hand, then stood at the gate of the courtyard, looking left and right and calling softly: "Xiao Rui'er, Xiao Rui'er..."

After a while, a girl who was slightly older than them rushed out from the corner.

"Brother, what's wrong?!"

I later learned that this was the personal maid assigned to him by Madam Han, named Jin Rui.

"Go find Yong Zeng and ask him to go to the kitchen and get me something delicious."

"Ah? Brother, if you want to eat, you can go to the front hall. You can eat as much as you want there."

"Today is the first guest to come to my courtyard, so I must prepare special meals!"

The girl called 'Xiao Rui'er' stood on tiptoe and looked into the yard. I lowered my head awkwardly, pinching the corner of my clothes.

"Brother, don't let the lady catch you, or you'll be beaten!"

"That's why I'm relying on you! You must keep your mouth shut about what happened today, or I'll expose you for eating the pastries from Mother's room!"

The boy's threat made Xiao Ruier droop her face and pout as she ran to find Yongzeng.

"Actually... no need."

I opened my mouth and looked at the boy who turned his head.

"That won't do. If outsiders knew that the granddaughter of Grand Tutor Yu couldn't even eat, would my Han family still have any face in Bianjing City?"

The boy took my hand without saying a word and walked into a pear tree deep in the yard.

That day, I learned all about him: the eldest grandson of Deputy Privy Councilor Han Zhang, the young poet of Bianjing, the most powerful child king among the powerful and influential relatives...

It turns out that since then, the halo around him has always been dazzling.

The third time we met was at my grandfather’s retirement banquet. As a Grand Tutor, my grandfather had many students all over the world.

The Yu family became the center of Bianjing City, and many official families came to say goodbye to my grandfather.

Someone from the Han family also came. I don’t know why, but I felt a little happy and nervous.

Peeking out from the corner, I saw a boy in a robe staring at me and blinking.
