swear not to be concubine

Chapter 2

When Jian Yan was a junior in her previous life, she fell in love with one of her seniors.But it's just a one-sided crush. It is estimated that the senior didn't even know she was there.

One day, she inquired that this senior would go hiking in the suburbs on weekends, so she secretly followed along.The two of them were sitting in the car one behind the other, and from time to time she would sneak a peek at the handsome side face of the senior sitting obliquely in front of her, her heart was as sweet as eating honey.It's just that extreme joy turns sorrow, and when she didn't want to turn around, a heavy truck in front suddenly bumped forward, Jian Yan immediately felt a sharp pain in her body, as if all her internal organs had been displaced, and a fishy-sweet liquid rushed out of her mouth and nose .

She still remembered that when she was about to close her eyes, she tried her best to look up at the senior sitting in front.But seeing his eyes tightly closed, scarlet blood was flowing down the side of his face, wetting the white pinstriped shirt on his body.

It's over, Jian Yan was thinking in her heart, looking at this posture, the senior should not be disfigured, right?

Then when she opened her eyes again, she was horrified to find that she had turned into a baby, and there was a dead baby beside her.

Jian Yan tried very hard to turn her head to see what the dead person lying beside her looked like, but it was a pity that her body was only a few days old, and her neck couldn't move.But the smell can still be smelled in the nose.

It's midsummer now, and it's outdoors like this. Although it's lying under the shade of a tree, the sun can't shine, but the corpse will definitely stink if it is left for a day or two.

But Jian Yan doesn't care anymore.She felt that if she stayed like this, she would definitely turn into a corpse in less than a day, and she would also stink by then.

Hehe, after experiencing the feeling of death twice in just one day, Jian Yan felt that she was also drunk.

It's just that her life was not to die, and she was immediately saved by a passing aunt.When she was held in the arms of her aunt, she finally saw the dead man who had been with her for nearly a day.

It was a middle-aged woman in her forties. Although she was dressed as a servant girl, the material of her dress looked very good.Moreover, there were a few gold and silver hairpins on her head, so she must have come from a wealthy family.

Jian Yan didn't know what the relationship between her current body and this woman was, nor did she know what her identity was in this life, but there was something more important than this right now, that was, she was very hungry.

The aunt carried her back to the nunnery, fed her some rice soup, and at least saved her life.In the next few days, she heard gossip from several other aunts in the nunnery, and knew that this nunnery was called Guanyin Nunnery, and the auntie who saved her was named Jingyuan, and she was the host of the Guanyin Nunnery.And because of King Duan's rebellion in the past two years, floods and droughts, rice is more expensive than pearls, and the rice vat in the Guanyin Nunnery has been empty for a long time, and even a mouse can't be kept. , so everyone is discussing to part ways, so naturally it is impossible to raise a newborn baby.

But monks are merciful, and they can't bear to give up even a small life.So one day I saw Mrs. Jingyuan go out for a long time, and then I carried her to Jane's house the next day and handed her over to Mrs. Jane.

At that time, Mrs. Jian was lying on the head of the bed with a koi bead mop pierced on her forehead.On a hot day, the windows were all tightly closed, not even a breath of wind could leak in, and the room was very stuffy.

It was just a glance at Jian Yan in Jingyuan's arms, and then Mrs. Jian looked away, raised her eyes and asked Jingyuan: "My daughter died ten days after she was born, and my son has been sick all the time. He is crooked, and his body is always out of shape. If it is true, as the teacher said, this is the palace of my son and daughter, and I need to adopt a daughter to ward off the disaster before I can get rid of this bad luck? Otherwise, my son will return sooner or later. Will it be like today, walking the way of my daughter?"

Mrs. Jian has a son named Jian Qing. He is three years old now.

"Amitabha," Master Jingyuan asked with one hand, and said kindly, "Monks don't tell lies. Believe it or not, it's in the benefactor's thought."

Since Mrs. Jian married into Jian's family, she finally gave birth to a son. This is the basis for her to settle down in Jian's family. Naturally, she can't be careless in the slightest.What's more, the women in the courtyard of the deep house believed in these people who served the Buddha very much, so Mrs. Jian did not doubt Mrs. Jingyuan at all.

So in this way, Jian Yan was adopted by Mrs. Jian.It's just because Mrs. Jian's daughter died within ten days after she was born, and she didn't make it public. Later, when facing others, Mrs. Jian only said that Jian Yan was her daughter. Others naturally thought that Jian Yan was Jane. My wife's biological daughter, I never imagined that such an accident would actually happen in the middle.Even Master Jian thought that Jian Yan was his biological daughter.

——Master Jane is the most dandy, he sleeps in flowers and sleeps in willows every day, and there are two or three in the outside room, and he is away from home for twenty days in a month, leaving all family affairs to Mrs. Jane , and Mrs. Jane didn't tell him that her daughter died and she adopted another daughter. After all, with one more child, she would be able to gain a firm foothold in Jane's family.

Jian Yan just entered Jian's house, but her role was only to protect Jian Qing from disasters, so Mrs. Jian didn't pay much attention to her, and directly threw her into a quiet room in Jian's house. In the small courtyard, a nanny and two maidservants were sent to take care of her, just to ensure that she would not die, and she would not see her twice in a year.

It's just that when she was seven years old, she met Mrs. Jane when she was visiting the garden with her nanny one day.Mrs. Jian looked at her for a long time, but she didn't realize who she was. It was her confidant, Mother Shen, who whispered to the side that this was Sister Yan, and Mrs. Jian had a look of sudden realization on her face, and then His gaze sized up Jian Yan even more unscrupulously.

Her eyes didn't seem to be looking at people, but rather like looking at a thing, and at the same time, she was still estimating how much the thing should sell for.

Jian Yan made her feel a little uncomfortable looking at her, but she still walked forward a few steps, bowed and saluted, and called her mother.

Jian Yan is a person who can recognize forms clearly.Mrs. Jane does not stay at home all year round, and Mrs. Jane is in charge of all matters in the Jane's house. She has always thought of currying favor with Mrs. Jane, and acts like a spoiled idiot in front of her every day. Feelings, even though she is not Mrs. Jane's own, but in the end it is no different from her own.

It's just that the ideal is full, but the reality is always very skinny.In the past few years, not to mention being coquettish and foolish, she just wanted to ask for Ann and show her face in front of Mrs. Jane, but people always didn't see her and didn't say anything, and even sent Mother Shen out to say that she was too noisy. Just be honest, stay in the small courtyard peacefully, and don't come out and walk around casually.After doing this several times, Jian Yan had no choice but to give up trying to please Mrs. Jian, and turned to please her nominal elder brother, Jian Qing.

But at this meeting, Mrs. Jian stared at her for a long time with bright eyes, and finally dropped a sentence, saying that she couldn't tell, she was such a beautiful woman, and then turned around and went back to the room with Shen's mother.

But the next day, a servant girl came to help Jian Yanxin change into a spacious and comfortable yard, and a tailor came to make her new dresses.Two days later, Shen's mother brought a few more people, and pointed them out to Jian Yan one by one, saying that the girl was getting older, and the wife specially explained that she invited the best embroidery master and piano master in Longxing Mansion, The chess master came to teach the girl, and asked the girl to study hard.

If something goes wrong, it must be a demon. Mrs. Jane ignored her like that before, but now she spent a lot of money to invite so many people to teach her these things, there must be a lot of articles in it.

Jian Yan felt a little uneasy for a moment.

Immediately afterwards, Mrs. Jian issued another order to strictly control Jian Yan's diet.Every meal only made her five or six cents full, and she might not have meat dishes every seven or eight days. It was said that it was to keep her light.And specially invited a dance teacher to come over and teach her how to dance, so that her waist and limbs will be soft.

This is not raising a daughter, but it is clearly raising a prostitute, like a prostitute.

Jian Yan immediately had a bad guess in her heart.Not long after, she accidentally overheard the chat between Mrs. Jian and Mother Shen, and her heart immediately sank.

Sure enough, Mrs. Jian decided to raise her as a Yangzhou skinny horse.

It turned out that Mrs. Jane was also the daughter of an official family, but later her family fell into trouble and she married a businessman.Although Jane's family is also rich and wealthy, they are only scholars, farmers, businessmen, and businessmen are looked down upon by others. Mrs. Jian tried to be strong when she was in her natal family, so why would she accept this supercilious look?Her husband spends his days drinking and drinking, so he can't be counted on. He can only rely on his son to study hard, and he will embark on an official career in the future, and he will also earn her a royal wife.

It's just that Jian Qing is not up to snuff, she likes to do business, but she doesn't like to study.Even if he was forced to study, after all, he didn't put all his mind on it. Now that he is ten years old, he hasn't even learned a thousand-character prose.Mrs. Jian was worrying herself, and happened to see Jian Yan in the back garden that day.At the first sight, although she is only seven years old, she is very beautiful. Maybe she will be a stunning beauty when she grows up?
Mrs. Jian changed her mind, remembering that it is very popular in Yangzhou to raise skinny horses, she thought about raising Jian Yan as a skinny horse.When she grows up, if she is sent to a high-ranking official, it is impossible for her to be a wife, but to be a concubine, even if she is just a housekeeper, she can at least be able to help and support her.

At that time, after Jian Yan knew Mrs. Jian's thoughts, her heart was like falling into an icehouse, and she felt that her life was destined to be gloomy.
