Quick Wear: Don't Follow the Plot and Feel Good

Chapter 3: The First Wife of the Number One Scholar

The original owner, Shen Yao, was the only child of a well-known merchant in town. Her mother had died young, and her father, missing her and fearing his relatives wouldn't be able to care for his daughter, didn't remarry. He managed the grain store while raising his daughter.

When Shen Yao came of age, her father was worried that she would be alone and miserable after he left, so he held a marriage proposal meeting. In the end, his daughter chose a poor scholar.

Mr. Shen was still worried, always feeling that scholars were too cunning, and was reluctant to agree to this marriage.

A year later, Shen's father sent various people to inquire about the man's character and family background, but they all reported that the poor scholar had only his parents, both of whom came from a poor family. A few years ago, his family had reclaimed some twenty acres of land, barely enough for the scholar's studies. Then, two years before last, a famine struck, and the harvest was completely destroyed. Even their own land was devastated by the starving people.

The scholar's parents wanted to report to the authorities, but he stopped them and said, "It's a famine year now, and it's hard for everyone to survive. Why bother with all this, Mom and Dad? Fortunately, we still have some food at home, and I pick some wild vegetables every day. We can always survive this famine."

Furthermore, if the county magistrate doesn't intervene, and our family has offended the villagers, how are we going to live in the next few years?"

The parents wanted to refute him, but then they thought about it and realized that what their son said was indeed true. But they immediately asked, "Son, you can't go picking wild vegetables. You are a scholar. You can do your housework at home, and no one else will know. But going out to pick wild vegetables and having others know about it would be bad. Besides, you still have to study."

"Dad! Don't listen to what others say, 'All things are inferior, only reading is superior'. Scholars also need to eat and drink. You and mother raised me, do you think I should do nothing and just wait for food to come to me? Besides, I can study by moonlight at night just the same."

After hearing this, Mr. Shen had a better impression of the scholar. He thought that the scholar would not think that merchants were lowly and would not treat his daughter badly in the future.

Father Shen was still a little worried. Why would their family agree to marry into the family now?

"Well, that's not their land. It was originally a reclaimed barren mountain. Suddenly one day, someone spread a rumor that there was a silver mine at the foot of the mountain. The county magistrate sent people to investigate, and it was indeed true. So they said that the barren mountain was mined by people sent by the emperor, and they wanted to reclaim the scholar's land.

It was a famine, and with the loss of this land, I had no money to study. Overnight, I was back to my old poverty. That's why I wanted to find someone with a little money to help me. If I pass the imperial examination in the future, I will never forget your kindness.

So Shen's father found Su Yichen and confirmed it again before agreeing to the marriage.

As expected, Xiucai and Shen Yao were in perfect harmony after their marriage, and they loved each other immensely. Xiucai was no stranger to the daily necessities of life, and Shen Yao was no stranger to music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. The two were truly a match made in heaven.

Father Shen saw it and was happy.

Later, they had a son, Shen Qingjun, and agreed that if they had another son, he would be named Su.

The Shen family then took Su's father and mother home, and the two families became one, which was very lively.

Two years passed like this. The scholar saw that no one mentioned the mine on the barren hill near his home anymore, so he decided to quit the exam.

As expected, he is the top student in high school.

They were paraded on horseback through the streets, and countless women on the city walls screamed and threw handkerchiefs and flowers.

Princess Pingyang also fell in love with the number one scholar and forced him to be her lover, but Su Yichen refused to obey her even at death.

"I heard that you still have parents, wife and children in your hometown?" Pingyang became angry and embarrassed.

Su Yichen was shocked. He knew that the princess was also a naked threat, but he had to obey.

"I will write the divorce letter now."

In the Shen family courtyard, the eunuchs and guards sent by the princess handed the letter to Shen's father and his family. The whole family couldn't believe it.

Shen Yao shook her head and cried, "No, I absolutely don't believe Su Lang would do such a thing! I'm going to the capital to find him!"

"That's right! My son is definitely not an ungrateful person. Yao'er, mother-in-law and father-in-law will go with you! If he really does that, I will break his legs!"

"Don't move!" the eunuch sneered. "Lord Su has married the princess and will be a member of the royal family from now on. How can you, the unruly people, see him whenever you want?"

He then winked at the guard beside him. The guard understood, raised his knife, and blood splattered all over the ground, leaving behind only the unwilling family.

After Shen Yao's death, her soul did not leave. With her obsession, she actually came to the capital and followed Su Yichen.

After learning that his entire family had been wiped out, Su Yichen did not commit suicide. Instead, he began to carefully try to please Pingyang.

Pingyang is the empress's daughter in her old age and the emperor's most beloved princess. She can even enter and leave the imperial study at will, and naturally knows many state secrets.

Su Yichen instigated internal strife among the emperor's sons while secretly trying to win them over, accelerating the decline of the Daqing Dynasty.

Three years later, severe floods in the south destroyed countless homes, while droughts in the north wiped out countless crops. The imperial court was slow to respond, and those who did were largely corrupt. Even eating wild vegetables became a luxury for the starving people, and uprisings erupted across the country.

The emperor's sons still didn't care and were still fighting among themselves.

Su Yichen was already the leader of the rebel army. After five years of fighting, he finally broke into the capital. Filled with hatred, he slaughtered almost everyone in the Gao family.

When he was about to ascend the throne, something unexpected happened and he was stabbed in the chest. When he turned around, he found that the person was dead.

"Pingyang? How could it be you? You are not..."

"Isn't he dead? Right? My good son-in-law! You should thank your deputy general Wang En, otherwise you will never see me again, hahahaha." Pingyang's facial expression was distorted.

"Wang En, I treat you well!"

"I know. But why should I be inferior to you? My talent is no less than yours, and the princess is so beautiful, yet you hurt her! Now I will ascend the throne and make my beloved Pingyang the queen, and you, die!!"

After saying that, he was about to stab with his sword again.

[I thought Su Yichen got the male lead's script, but it turns out he's also cannon fodder. So pitiful.]

"No!" Shen Yao shouted after seeing all this, but unfortunately she could do nothing.

Sheng Jiang asked, "So your wish is to keep your family safe, and you want Su Yichen to be the emperor and you to be the queen?"

"Yes. Why do they look down on the lower classes when they are so high and mighty? As the saying goes, 'The throne is passed down, and next year it will be my turn.' So I want them to fall to the dust and live a life worse than a beggar on the street!"

"Then why don't you become the emperor and let Su Yichen be the queen?"

"I... I don't have any talent for governing a country. Even if the country is given to me, I may not be able to heal it. So, Immortal, please..."

"As you wish. I'll be back soon."

When Sheng Jiang arrived, he saw a well-dressed eunuch and four guards with swords handing a letter to Shen's father, saying arrogantly, "I advise you to be sensible."

Then he said to Su's father and mother with a condescending look, "It's a blessing for the princess to fall in love with her husband. Don't be ungrateful!"

Su's father, Su's mother, and Shen's father looked at the eunuch angrily, "Let's go to the capital to find him."

The eunuch immediately winked at the guard, who was about to draw his sword to kill the witness.

This ginger can make? Immediately, the figure as fast as lightning knocked the five people unconscious.

"Yao'er? No, you are not Yao'er. Who are you?" Father Shen looked at Sheng Jiang in shock.

[Sheng Jiang, Father Shen discovered that you are not the original owner]

"Isn't this normal? I'm not going to hide it though."

"You're right, I'm not Shen Yao. But I'm here for Shen Yao." Sheng Jiang looked calm, without any guilt at all.

"What do you mean? Where is my Yao'er?"

"To be precise, the Shen family was about to be wiped out, so Shen Yao begged me to save her from this disaster. So I came. Fortunately, it's not too late."

Father Shen thought about what had just happened. If the person in his daughter's body hadn't taken action, his entire family would have been wiped out. But he was still a little worried. "Can she come back?"

"That depends on her wishes. I am only concerned with overcoming the tribulation and nothing else."

Father Shen felt a little relieved. The others also knelt down with Father Shen, "Thank you for saving us, Immortal. But I don't know what to do with these people."

"These people cannot die yet. They need to go back and report to the princess. However, I will modify their memories so that they will think that all the people from the Shen and Su families are dead.

You can't stay here any longer. I will arrange a self-sufficient place for you and set up a barrier. As long as you don't leave the barrier, you will be safe. As for when to come out, just wait for Su Yichen to pick you up in the future."

After arranging things for Shen Yao's family, Sheng Jiang teleported to the princess's residence. At this time, Su Yichen was imprisoned in a dilapidated house.

"Su Yichen"

"Who?" Su Yichen, who hadn't had a drop of water for three days, opened his eyes dazedly, and his eyes lit up again in an instant, "Yaoyao? Is it you? Am I going to die?" After a while, he thought of something else, "You should leave quickly. The princess will not let us go. I have made up my mind to die, so don't worry about me. You have to take care of our parents and children when you go back. Go quickly."

Seeing that the person opposite him still didn't move, Su Yichen was confused, "No, you are not Yaoyao! Who are you!"

[We are indeed a family, and we speak exactly the same words]

[Of course I am not Shen Yao] Ginger wiped Su Yichen's forehead, and in an instant Su Yichen remembered everything about his previous life.

"So now Yaoyao's family and I are all dead? And then you, a monster, appeared in Yaoyao's body?" Su Yichen was heartbroken and burst into tears.

"Tsk, what a wild imagination! Could it be that I came here because of Shen Yao to help your family survive this disaster?"

Hearing that his family had been settled, Su Yichen calmed down and asked, "What about Yaoyao?"

"Whether she returns or not is entirely her own decision. I will not interfere. When you ascend the throne, it will probably be the time for Shen Yao to return."

"Really? Then please help me, Immortal. I'm willing to go through fire and water!"

"Since I'm helping you, I won't do anything too much. I'll just take care of your safety. Based on what you did in your last life, if you hadn't been backstabbed by someone close to you, you wouldn't have failed. This time, you have to choose the right person for the job."

"Even so, I am deeply grateful. When I ascend the throne, I will enshrine the immortal in all temples and Taoist temples across the country."

“No need to”

What if people knew that what I offer is just ordinary ginger, which is available in every household, and they were afraid to eat it or couldn't afford it? This is not in line with the nature of ginger. This ginger is another day of kindness.

In this life, because Su Yichen lived one more life than others, he was able to do things more discreetly. In his previous life, it took nearly ten years to successfully rebel, but in this life, it was shortened to five years.

Moreover, Wang En was executed early in this life, and without him to save Pingyang. But Su Yichen was still worried, and he was not completely relieved until the body was burned to ashes.

On the day he ascended the throne, colorful clouds suddenly appeared in the sky, and a dragon and a phoenix came flying in the air, circling and dancing, each showing their own posture.

Seeing this strange sight, everyone shouted, "The dragon soars into the sky, the phoenix dances in the sky. They complement each other, and heaven and earth merge."

Since then, dragons and phoenixes have been flying and dancing, passed down through the ages.

[Ginger, how's my special effect? ​​Not bad, right?]

[Yeah, not bad.] Ginger is petting the cat again.

That night, Su Yichen hugged Shen Yao excitedly, "Yaoyao, you are finally back!"

"Yes, Achen. It was the immortal who helped us."

"Yaoyao, we should enshrine the immortal in every temple in the world, but I don't know what her true form is? She won't tell me."

"Achen, don't worry. The immortal's true form is actually ginger."

"Ginger?" Su Yichen exclaimed, "No way?"

"That's right. However, the immortals don't like mortals to make offerings. They say that if someone makes an offering, the price of ginger will rise, or every household will be reluctant to eat ginger, which goes against the nature of ginger's healing and health-promoting properties. So, my husband, it's the same as long as we make offerings in our hearts."
