swear not to be concubine

Chapter 13

Although Pearl didn't say a word when she left, and she didn't show anything strange on her face, Bai Wei was still very worried.After that, she really endured a moment like three autumns, and there was no time for peace of mind.

Jian Yan was still concentrating on drawing the bat and the birthday peach.After the pattern was drawn, April also came back with food from the kitchen, so she left the pattern and began to have lunch.

Seeing that Bai Wei was standing by the door curtain, her eyes were only looking out through the crack of the curtain, and the gauze green handkerchief in her hand was twisted into a twisted pattern, Jian Yan knew that she was worried about herself, so she went to He comforted her: "Bai Wei, don't worry, you will be fine."

Bai Wei felt that she was not at ease at all.

"Girl," she suddenly turned her head, her face changed a little, "coral has entered our yard."

Coral is the little maid serving Mrs. Jane.She will come here now, naturally she won't come to visit.It must be that after Pearl went back, she told Mrs. Jian what was missing from Jian Yan's side, and Mrs. Jian sent Shan Shan to ask Jian Yan to question her.

Jian Yan hummed lightly, she kept eating with chopsticks in her hands.Bai Wei hurriedly walked over from the door and stood beside Jian Yan.

She just stood still, when the curtain over there was lifted, Shan Shan had already opened the curtain by herself and walked in.

Jian Yan paused for a while while holding the chopsticks, but then acted as if she didn't even know that she had entered the room, and still ate with her head down slightly.

"Meet the girl."

Standing still three steps away from the round table, Shan Shan leaned towards Jian Yanfu and called out.

Although Jian Yan didn't go to Mrs. Jian's place often, she knew all the maids and servants in the courtyard of the main house like the back of her hand.As far as she knew, this coral was a son of a family, and my wife was considered decent in Jane's house, no wonder she dared to contradict Cui Liu in the kitchen last time.

Jian Yan looked up at the coral.

A white silk jacket, a water-colored skirt, and a red-colored bijia outer cover. He is about eleven or twelve years old, and his birth is beautiful.However, there is an air of aloofness in the corners of his eyes and brows, and he is probably not very convincing.

"Girl, my wife asked me..." Shan Shan was smiling, and was about to say the purpose of her trip, but she just said a few words, but was stopped by Bai Wei's voice.

"What are you busy with? Didn't you see that the girl is having lunch?"

Originally, it was very unruly for this coral to open the curtain and enter the house without notification. Now, when seeing Jian Yan eating, she opened her mouth to talk about things, isn't it extremely unruly?

Coral was stopped by Bai Wei's words, and her face immediately became a little embarrassing.

Although she dared to talk about Cui Liu in the kitchen, it was only because she was on the mission of urging Mrs. Jane to eat, and there was no master in front of her, so the words were natural Yes, you can be more casual.But now in front of Jian Yan, she is naturally not so bold as to dare to contradict her, and it is true that she has no rules first, so she can't blame Bai Wei for scolding her.So no matter how dissatisfied she was in her heart, she could only lower her head and stand aside with her hands down.

Jian Yan absolutely agrees with Bai Wei's scolding of Shan Shan.

Due to the difference in status, it's not easy for her to directly reprimand Shan Hu, otherwise she will lose her face, so it is really best for Bai Wei to do it for her.

She ate the rice in the bowl slowly.

Over the years, Mrs. Jane has been brainwashed by people using three obediences and four virtues every day, and specially spent a lot of money to hire a teaching nun to guide her. Originally, her temperament was still very impetuous, but after so many years of polishing, it turned out to be precipitation. A lot, and I am not in a hurry to do anything.

After the meal, she went to the wooden kang by the window and sat down.Si Yue was packing up the bowls and chopsticks nimbly, while Bai Wei brought a cup of tea on a tea tray.

Jian Yan took the teacup, opened the lid and slowly skimmed off the tea leaves on the water surface, lowered her head and took a sip, then put the teacup on the small kang table at hand, then looked up at the coral, but there was no What to ask.

Bai Wei understood, and asked on behalf of Jian Yan: "My wife sent you to find a girl, but what's the matter?"

Rao Shanhu has always seen that Jian Yan is not favored in front of Mrs. Jian, and she despises Jian Yan in her heart, but since she entered the house, she has been ignored by Jian Yan as if she is a transparent person, and she can't help but look at the previous The somewhat contemptuous heart put away a little bit.

Sometimes, majesty does not need to be full of scowling faces and making a lot of noise to appear.Calm, calm, confident, and a strong heart are enough to make people dare not look down on you from your appearance and demeanor.

"Miss, the madam has sent her servants here, and she wants to invite the girl to come over."

Shan Shan took two steps forward, her attitude was much more submissive than before, and she also called herself a servant girl instead of casually calling herself me as before.

Jian Yan nodded, and said lightly: "Understood. You go first, report back to mother, and I will be there as soon as you tell me."

"Yes." Coral saluted respectfully, turned around and backed out.

As soon as she left, the stern look on Bai Wei's face immediately disappeared.

"Girl," she was worried, her eyebrows were about to come together, "Madam let you go, it must be because of those missing dresses, jewelry and objects, what should I do?"

"Don't panic," Jian Yan comforted her, "According to what I said earlier, just push all these on Zhao's mother."

It's all here for the meeting, even if you panic, there is nothing you can do.

Bai Wei had no choice but to wait for Jian Yan to change into another dress with a more elegant color, and then ordered Si Yue to take care of the house, while she accompanied Jian Yan to the room.

Because Mrs. Jian doesn't want to see Jian Yan often, the courtyard where Jian Yan lives is not far from the upper room.

After bypassing a garden and walking along a long corridor, I finally arrived at the upper room.

The servant girl guarding the corridor went in and announced, and then a little servant girl raised the curtain, and Jian Yan lowered her head slightly and walked in.

Mrs. Jian was sitting on the Arhat bed in the open room, with Mother Shen and Pearl accompanying her.

Jian Yan stood still in the middle of the room, bowed her head to Mrs. Jian, and softly called her mother, but she never asked her why she came here.

Mrs. Jian raised her eyelids and looked at Jian Yan.

A tooth-colored long jacket with a stand-up collar, a lake-colored horse-faced cotton skirt, and a snow-blue cloak over it.

This dress is very simple and elegant, there is no embroidery on the jacket and skirt, only irises are embroidered with light yellow and green silk threads on the collar and sleeves of the cloak, which looks a little more delicate and lively.

Mrs. Jane frowned.

She still likes Jian Yan to dress up more delicately, so she orders the tailors to make her dresses in colors such as begonia red, light yellow, and light green. Let her wear it with dresses on weekdays, I don't think she is dressed so elegantly now.

"You," Mrs. Jian was about to say a few words to her, when she suddenly thought that it was only half a year before Master Jian passed away. As his nominal daughter, Jian Yan should dress so plainly, so She swallowed the words of reprimand when she was on the verge of reprimanding, and then she spoke directly to the topic, asking, "Pearl said that I went to your room this morning to check things, jewelry and dresses, but some of them were missing, what's going on? "

After finishing speaking, he reached out and picked up the green silk booklet on the Kang table at hand, and threw it at Jian Yan's feet.

Thinking about it, she was very angry.Also, don't underestimate the missing items, dresses and jewelry, but they are worth more than 1000 taels of silver.

Jian Yan sometimes thinks, in fact, Mrs. Jian's EQ should not be very high.

Since she wanted to raise herself as a Yangzhou skinny horse and give it to an official as a concubine in order to pave the way for Jian Qing's official career, then she really shouldn't be so alienated and difficult for herself.

It's okay not to smile every time we meet, just treat her as facial paralysis, which is fine by nature, but such sarcasm, even harshness, is really unacceptable.

On the surface, he pretended to love her and pity her, and when he was about to push her into the fire pit, he cried and cried to his mother with tears and snot. Well, if those people who don't know the inside story listen to it, Guan Bao will sell her, and she will have to help Mrs. Jane count the money.

But it's a pity that Mrs. Jane doesn't even bother to pretend, or she doesn't bother to pretend in front of her at all.She is really not afraid that she will hold a grudge in her heart. Even if she sends herself to be a concubine in the hands of some officials in the future, not only will she not help Jian Qing, but will maliciously frame Jian Qing. At that time, she will not help her son, she will simply cheat him .

Jian Yan sighed softly in her heart, then raised her head, her face was full of surprise and bewilderment.

"What is mother talking about? My daughter doesn't know."

When Mrs. Jian saw her innocent and weak appearance, she felt as if she had bullied her somehow. For a moment, she felt a fire in her heart, which made her internal organs ache a little.

With a slap, she slapped the Kang table heavily, only to hear a bang, and the pastel snow scene teacup that was originally on the table jumped up and down in place, and the tea spilled out.

"You still say you don't know? It's all your dresses and jewelry now, and those decorations are also in your room. Why don't you know? Could it be that there is something wrong with you? You can still put these things under your nose. Things moved?"

Jian Yan's face became more and more at a loss for a while, and there were tears in her eyes, but they never fell.

Bai Wei behind her had already knelt down when Mrs. Jane slapped the table.But Jian Yan didn't kneel down.

And how she stayed in this era for [-] or [-] years, and how she was brainwashed every day with the three obediences and four virtues, but her three views had already been formed and fixed in her previous life.

She would never kneel down to Mrs. Jane, even if she died, she would never kneel down to her.
