In order to eat, I signed a contract with the system

Chapter 399: Legend of Zhen Huan - Nian Shilan 3

So, what is this? Giving yourself free points for something you were supposed to do? Is the system that considerate?

Nian Shilan opened the family system's mall and unexpectedly discovered that in addition to the golden fingers with similar functions to the previous ones, such as fertility pills, sickness pills, body-building pills, clone pills, etc., there were also things she had always longed for - cultivation methods, as well as marrow cleansing pills and other things that only practitioners could use.

"Interesting, really interesting."

Did I reveal something wrong and the dream-fulfilling system discovered it, or did the dream-fulfilling system change its mind and want to start "cultivating" me?

Nian Shilan couldn't find the answer for the time being, but she knew that if she hadn't been lucky enough to find a method of cultivating merit in the world of "Dream of Red Mansions", she would have tried her best to obtain this method.

Fortunately, now that he has entered the Dao, these cultivation techniques in the family system are no longer useful. The gift of fate must have another price. Nian Shilan did not want to be tied to the dream-fulfilling system, so he had no choice but to fail to obtain enough points, and finally "regrettably" missed the technique he had always desired.

Since the golden finger of this family system in this life is a trap, Nian Shilan naturally does not intend to use it. But not using it does not mean not reading it. At least he can still take a look at the information about the identification of retainers, family members, etc. With the family system to help distinguish who are loyal to the Nian family and who are not, wouldn't it save a lot of trouble?

After Nian Shilan finished reading the introduction of the golden finger, Nian Gengyao also woke up. Nian Gengyao, who had just woken up, seemed to be still immersed in Nian Shilan's pain and regret in his previous life and could not come back to his senses.

He truly loves his sister Nian Shilan, so naturally he can't help but feel distressed for what happened to his sister. After the distress, all that's left is anger.

Prince Yong, this villain, actually dared to treat their Nian family like this. Not only did he destroy the bridge after crossing it, but he also deliberately praised him to death and killed his own child with his own hands. How hypocritical and shameless!

"Shilan, my second brother just had a dream!"

Nian Gengyao had no doubt that this dream was related to Nian Shilan, he just felt sorry for his sister in the dream. Now, looking at his still innocent sister, he felt touched and fortunate.

"Brother, I know."

When Nian Shilan found out that Nian Gengyao wanted to tell his dream, she didn't want to guess anymore and just admitted it directly.

"I had that dream too!"

"You had that dream too?!"

Yes, yes, if Se-ran hadn’t also had that dream, how could she have asked the previous question? It seems that Se-ran wanted to test whether the content of the dream was true.

Nian Gengyao looked at Nian Shilan with a look seeking confirmation, and Nian Shilan nodded in agreement. The two siblings exchanged signals as if they were in contact, leaving Songzhi, who was serving on the side, completely confused. She had no idea what the young lady and the second young master were talking about!

"Tomorrow's horse race is cancelled. Second brother can go alone!"

Today, he really couldn't help but mention to Prince Yong that he wanted to take Se-ran to the horse race. He thought that he would know when he went to confirm whether Prince Yong really showed up tomorrow. As for Se-ran, she should not go. Not to mention whether Se-ran could resist the disgust when she saw Prince Yong, he didn't want to give Prince Yong another chance to get close to Se-ran!

"Well, I'll wait for my second brother to take me to the horse race next time."

It’s a rare opportunity to ride a horse, so Nian Shilan still wants to try it. If it doesn’t work tomorrow, there’s always another time!

"Just second brother, what are you going to do next?"

Nian Shilan wanted to confirm what Nian Gengyao was thinking, but there was no way. In the world of "The Legend of Zhen Huan", as a woman, even if she was the most favored daughter of the Nian family, if she wanted to protect the Nian family, she had to rely on the decisions of men like Nian Gengyao.

If I could be reborn earlier, perhaps I could use the method of the previous task and directly abandon my identity as a woman. Whether it is going to the frontier to be a small general defending the country, or passing the imperial examination to become a good official who will go down in history, both are good choices.

This is the selection system of the Qing Dynasty. According to Nian Shilan's status, she could not escape it no matter what. Even if she tried her best to change it, she could only change the person she was to marry or the emperor.

In this case, it is better to maintain the original plot, at least the plot is clear.

"Of course he will surrender to Prince Lian. Without the help of my Nian family, I wonder how Prince Yong will ascend to the throne in the end!"

Nian Gengyao did help a lot in Prince Yong's ascension to the throne, but Nian Shilan couldn't help but feel dizzy when she saw him mention Prince Lian.

Nian Shilan doesn't know much about the Prince Lian in "The Legend of Zhen Huan", but she knows a lot about the Prince Lian in history. Prince Lian could not ascend to the throne at all. In the later period, among the nine princes competing for the throne, only the third, fourth, thirteenth, fourteenth, and five other princes who were originally created in "The Legend of Zhen Huan" were eligible to be chosen by the emperor.

Among them, the Third Prince has been branded as an unfilial prince because of the "head shaving during the mourning period for Concubine Min", and he only has the power of civil officials behind him, so he has basically no hope. The Thirteenth Prince once followed the Crown Prince and was punished by the Emperor, so he has no hope. The Seventeenth Prince is the son of a foreign race, so even if the Emperor is willing, the royal family cannot get through. The Fourteenth Prince has some ability to compete, but in fact, the forces behind him are all vassals who inherited the throne from the eighties and nineties, so if he really gets to the top, he won't know who he will listen to in the end.

Nian Shilan thought so and analyzed it to Nian Gengyao. Nian Gengyao kept nodding his head without any intention of refuting. He just felt puzzled about what Nian Shilan said, "Prince Lian cannot ascend to the throne."

"Why did Shilan say from the beginning that Prince Lian had no chance? Prince Lian is not only surrounded by people left by Prince Zhi, but also by the sons of two high-ranking concubines, the Ninth Prince and the Tenth Prince..."

"Because he doesn't have the ability to be an emperor!"

"A wise king can be versatile and make friends everywhere, but an emperor doesn't need to."

"As an emperor, what he needs is the way to employ people, the way to win over people, the love and compassion for the people, the strength and the righteousness, not the flattery and buying of people's hearts with money."

"Prince Lian had already lost hope in the emperor's heart when he dealt with the Ministry of Revenue's arrears and the Ministry of Internal Affairs' corruption."

Nian Gengyao was very surprised. When did his sister, who only cared about fancy clothes and delicious food, start to analyze such things?

Seeing Nian Gengyao's suspicious eyes, Nian Shilan's heart skipped a beat and she unknowingly expressed her past thoughts, which aroused Nian Gengyao's suspicion.

"Brother, do you still remember that dream? In the dream, I was so easily deceived by the emperor because I didn't understand politics..."

Nian Shilan's eyes turned and she began to cry. When Nian Gengyao saw that Nian Shilan was sad, all his doubts disappeared and he hurried to comfort her.
