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

Nian Gengyao is twelve years younger than Nian Shilan, and he dotes on his younger sister Nian Shilan almost completely as his own daughter. The Nian family, including the father and his sons, are all officials in the court. Now that the princes are competing for the throne, it is natural that the princes will target the Nian family with such power.

A few years ago, the fourth prince was named Prince Yong by the emperor and became the leader of the Han army flag, the White Banner, where the Nian family belonged. The Nian family automatically belonged to Prince Yong's faction. However, Nian Xialing and his son were both loyal to the emperor and did not want to get involved in the fight for the throne among the princes. In addition, Nian Gengyao, the only member of the Nian family in Beijing, was arrogant and looked down on the current Prince Yong. Therefore, they did not go to the banner to show their loyalty to the leader of the banner.

Prince Yong wanted to subdue Nian Gengyao, but he could never find the way. By chance, he learned that the Nian family had an unmarried daughter, so he became interested.

The Empress Defei in the palace naturally coveted the power of the Nian family. If the Fourteenth Prince was not still young and had a weak foundation, and the positions of principal wife and concubine were not filled, and Prince Yong had a legitimate reason to win over the Nian family, the Empress Defei would have been eager to ask the Emperor to give the daughter of the Nian family to the Fourteenth Prince.

Now seeing that the power of the eighty, ninety, and three princes was growing, it was rare for Concubine De to help Prince Yong with his plans in a friendly manner. Looking at Prince Yong who was paying his respects to her, Concubine De spoke a few words of concern casually and mentioned the fact that the Fourth Prince had few children.

"Old Four, you are not young anymore, and you only have the Third Prince as your son. If anything happens to the Third Prince, there will be no hope for you."

"I heard that the Nian family under your command has a daughter. You must seize the opportunity."

On this side, Prince Yong Yinzhen was discussing with the future Empress Dowager how to gain the power of the Nian family without fail. On the other side, after paying her respects, Nian Shilan lay in the yard lazily basking in the sun.

I have to say that Nian Shilan's life is happy these days. Compared with the previous three missions in "Legend of Zhen Huan", none of them was as easy as this one. It was rare that she didn't have to spend a lot of time planning. Nian Shilan just wanted to lie down and think about nothing and do nothing.

Songzhi helped Nian Shilan to shield her face from the sun, fearing that the sun would tan her daughter. The servants worked quietly, not daring to make any noise to disturb the daughter's leisure, until Nian Gengyao, who had just finished his court, came in quickly from outside.

Nian Gengyao had been practicing martial arts since he was a child. He had a sturdy build and powerful steps. In addition, he had a generous personality, and his voice would inevitably become louder when he was in a good mood. Before people entered the yard, their voices were heard along with his footsteps.

"Se-ran, Se-ran!"

"I'm going to take a day off tomorrow, so I'll take you to the horse farm for a race. Get ready!"

When the emperor was in court today, he praised Nian Gengyao a lot. After the court session, Prince Lian took the initiative to come to talk to him. Although Nian Gengyao was also loyal to the emperor, he was young after all and had some ideas about the merits of following the emperor. He valued the eighth prince, now Prince Lian, the most. He thought that he had a kind personality, was good at dealing with people, and was quite courteous to others.

Nian Gengyao did not think much about Prince Yong who came to greet him later. After all, Yinzhen was still hiding his ambitions and pretending to be a loyal prince at that time.

"Horse racing?"

Nian Shilan listened to Nian Gengyao's words, opened her eyes and looked at Nian Gengyao's blurred face through the sunlight, and asked, "Did you meet any prince today?"

"what happened?"

Nian Gengyao didn't understand why his sister, who was usually so happy when she heard that he was going to take her to horse racing, suddenly reacted differently today. Nian Gengyao was not stupid and he immediately realized that there was something wrong with the question asked by Nian Shilan.

"Why does Shilan ask that?"

Because that's what happened in the previous life, Yinzhen learned from Nian Gengyao that he would take him to the horse farm tomorrow, so he came here specifically to meet you and 'seduce' your sister!

Nian Shilan really wanted to say it directly, but it was obvious that such words could only be said in her heart and could not be explained openly.

Just thinking about the trader's wish to protect the whole family, Nian Gengyao's character is a big obstacle. He is too proud, too complacent, and even arrogant. The crimes he committed in the plot are not all unjust. At least in this life, for Nian Shilan, who wants to cultivate merits, he cannot accept the fact that Nian Gengyao, whom he wants to protect, is such a corrupt official.

"Songzhi! Let them all go down."

Nian Shilan asked Songzhi to clear the room first, "Second brother, come here, I have something to tell you."

Anyway, now that his spiritual consciousness has reached another level, it is not difficult to add a memory of his previous life to Nian Gengyao. So after Nian Gengyao came over obediently, Nian Shilan directly activated his spiritual consciousness, invaded Nian Gengyao's mind, and projected the memories of the trader in his previous life into Nian Gengyao's mind.

Of course, memories about how 'he' had harmed others and how he had competed for favor were eliminated. But even so, it took Nian Gengyao a long time to sort out all the memories.

When Nian Gengyao was receiving his memories, Nian Shilan was lying on the stone table, basking in the sun, checking what kind of golden finger was generated by the obsession of the resentful soul of 'Nian Shilan' in this life.

"Family system?"

What is this? Nian Shilan himself had some guesses about the so-called system suffix's golden finger. The name of the family system made him think it was a related system, similar to the disciple-taking system, the sect system, and the like. If a person who was identified by the system as having a connection with the host became better, the host would also become better, and vice versa.

After checking, Nian Shilan found that he was right. This family system was indeed the case. In the family system, Nian Shilan was considered the head of the family by default, and people who were related to Nian Shilan by blood, such as Nian Gengyao and Nian Xiyao, were considered family members. The adjutants around Nian Gengyao, such as Songzhi, and Nian Xialing, were considered retainers of the Nian family as long as they cared about the Nian family. Similarly, only those who were sincere to the Nian family would appear in the family system according to their position.

The family system is very simple to use. You can strengthen your family's power by increasing the number of family members or achievements, such as helping the family discover great achievements, helping family members get promoted, etc. As the family's power increases, you will also gain corresponding points. These points can be used to purchase elixirs, martial arts secrets, and even intelligence in the family system.

The things you buy can be used for yourself or for your family members...

In theory, this golden finger is really good, but for Nian Shilan, it is just useless. After all, the reason why Concubine Hua was invincible in the early stage was because she had a great general Nian Gengyao who was good at fighting behind her.

He was later demoted because Nian Gengyao was purged. If it were a world of immortal cultivation, it might be of some use, but in the world of palace fighting, these are what should be done. Even without this golden finger, nothing would change.
