Chapter 1

"If you cry, you know how to cry. You are spoiled by Jiaojiao. If you are willing to restrain her, she will not go to the pond to catch fish!"

"Now what are the uses of those? Why is my Jiaojiao not awake yet? If Jiaojiao has a few good and bad luck, I will not live anymore..."

The man's majestic reprimand and the woman's crying vaguely reached Chen Jiao's ears.

Chen Jiao had a split headache. She frowned and opened her eyes with difficulty.

What caught my eye was the simple and clean beams and roofs of the house, as well as three large windows of Xiangyang. Chen Jiao turned her head in confusion and realized that she was actually lying on a large unfamiliar kang. Under the kang, there were red painted wardrobe cages under the north wall, and to the east were dressing tables and desks. Such simple furnishings were even worse than the rooms of the maids of the Duke's Mansion.

"Jiaojiao, are you awake?" A thirty-year-old woman in a muslin dress rushed to the front of the kang excitedly, and her eyes were red. Then, there was another middle-aged man in her forties around the woman. The man was of medium height, with straight facial features, and with short trimmed beards, he looked over majestic but concerned.

Chen Jiao's head hurts, and half-drowsed, she remembers who she is and understands where she is now.

Chen Jiao, the second girl who is loved by the Duke of Xian, has a father and a mother who is a wife of a noble family. In addition to her brother, Chen Jiao also has a cousin Chen Wan, who is the queen.

Chen Wan was beautiful and was favored in the palace for a while and gave birth to a fifth prince. Unfortunately, the beauties in the palace came one after another, and Chen Wan soon fell out of favor. Seeing the old emperor a new concubine, Chen Wan was anxious and invited her sister Chen Jiao into the palace for the sake of enjoying flowers. Chen Jiao was only fourteen years old and went there without any warning. When she entered the palace, she found that the old emperor was there too.

Chen Jiao didn't think much, but not long after she sat down, she found that the old emperor had been looking at her lustfully.

Although Chen Jiao is young, she has a plump figure, icy skin, charming appearance, and simple eyebrows and eyes, which are irresistible to men.

Faced with the unconcealed covetousness of the old emperor, Chen Jiao finally understood the queen's sister's plan, but it was too late. The next day, the old emperor suddenly issued an edict to choose a concubine. Chen Jiao was in the right place. The edict was issued too urgently. The Duke's Mansion had no time to prepare, so Chen Jiao had to go to the palace to wait for the election. Finally, the old emperor appointed as Li Guiren.

Chen Jiao didn't want to be a noble lady for the old emperor, but fortunately the old emperor was coaxed by the imperial concubine that night, so she avoided serving the bed.

Then, news came from night that the old emperor died on the bed of the imperial concubine, and the cause of death was indescribable.

Chen Jiao secretly rejoiced, but she never expected that the old emperor would leave a will to ask all the concubines who had no children to bury him for his death!

Chen Jiao, who was shocked to hear the bad news, fell to the ground with a white face. Although she did not serve her in bed, she was also considered the old emperor's concubine.

Just as the new emperor was busy ascending the throne and had no time to manage the burial of his burial, just as Chen Jiao knelt in front of the jade statue of the Bodhisattva and prayed to escape death, Chen Jiao had a dream at night. In the dream, the Bodhisattva appeared and appeared in front of her with a fairy spirit. Chen Jiao cried and begged the Bodhisattva to save her, but the Bodhisattva said that she was born with a poor relationship with her husband. In the previous seven lives, she would either die in a widow or look at her husband like water and fire. If she wanted to completely change her life, there was only one way, that is, to return to the previous seven lives and try to make the remarried new husband or original husband devote himself to her.

Chen Jiao was confused: "The first seven lives? How should I go back?"

The Bodhisattva was compassionate and said, "I will help you."

Chen Jiao finally saw hope: "I changed my life in the first seven lives, won't I have to die in this life?"

The Bodhisattva smiled: "Not only will you not die, you will also be rich and powerful."

Chen Jiao doesn’t seek wealth, she only seeks peace.

After the Bodhisattva disappeared, Chen Jiao had some of her first life's deeds in her head.

In this life, Chen Jiao is just the daughter of Lin Boyuan, a scholar in Dawang Village.

Lin Boyuan is 42 years old this year. He studied hard at a young age. He once threatened that if he didn't pass the scholar, he would not get married. At the age of 25, Lin Boyuan finally successfully passed the exam for the scholar. He married his wife Tian and gave birth to Lin Yu and Lin Jiao. His wife is beautiful and his children are smart. Lin Boyuan enjoys his life more and more, but there is no progress in the imperial examination. After several hesitations, Lin Boyuan finally gave up the exam again and opened a private school in the village to teach the peasant children in nearby villages.

In Dawang Village, the Lin family's family is well-off. There are ten acres of fertile land and there is no need to pay taxes. Therefore, the children of other farmers went to the fields to work early, and their skin was yellow and dark. Lin Jiao and Lin Yu's brother and sister were born with white and clean skin and tender flesh. Especially Lin Jiao, whose appearance inherited the advantages of their parents. They had willow leaves, bent eyebrows, beautiful peach blossom eyes, and smiled and walked around the village like a fairy descending to earth. Both old and young men loved to watch it.

Most young people in the village like Lin Jiao, hiding in the distance and looking at her secretly, boldly giving Lin Jiao a small gift like a wooden comb when she went out, but Lin Jiao looked down on these landlords and wanted to marry a rich child from the county town. When Lin Jiao was sixteen years old, she went to the city to enjoy the lanterns and met Wei Qingcang, the second son of the Wei family of Sitong Qianzhuang. The man was rich and beautiful. The two looked at each other at the first time. Soon, Wei Qingcang sent someone to propose marriage and married Lin Jiao as his wife.

The couple had only been sweet for a few months, and Wei Qingcang was hooked up by his friends and had an old habit of being romantic. He continued to go to the fireworks and willow alleys to pick up flowers and flirt with her. Lin Jiao quarreled with him, but Wei Qingcang simply refused to go home. He had been sleeping in many flowers and willows, and accidentally got sick, so he left Lin Jiao and his son to go to the underworld.

So Lin Jiao guarded her son and was a widow all her life.

The Bodhisattva of Chen Jiao mentioned that except for the Lin family's parents, only Wei Qingcang was the only one who saw her son's face was as vague as the villagers. And Wei Qingcang was considered a figure in a small county town, but for Chen Jiao, who was born in the Duke Xianguo Mansion, she was not as despair as Wei Qingcang.

Fortunately, the Bodhisattva arranged for her to return before meeting Wei Qingcang. Now Lin Jiao's body is under her control. Chen Jiao thought that she must marry a good man who is worthy of her character and appearance. No matter what, this is her previous life. She cannot just marry a crooked person in order to complete the task quickly. Anyway, the Bodhisattva does not have a limited time.

"Mom, I'm fine."

After lying on the hard kang for a day, Chen Jiao smiled and said to Tian Shi the next morning.

Chen Jiao has always been a filial daughter. In Lin Jiao's memories, Lin Boyuan and Tian are very kind to their daughters, so Chen Jiao naturally accepted her parents in this life.

Tian looked at her daughter's sweet smile, but was stunned. Her Jiaojiao has been spoiled since she was a child. She is more bold and naughty than boys, and she is also very willful and unreasonable. Every time she and her husband try to discipline her daughter, her daughter will lose her temper. Her husband complains that she doesn't care. In fact, she is also afraid of her daughter.

The daughter in front of her still has the same face and the same eyes, but her daughter's every move exudes a gentle and dignified atmosphere, just like the official lady on the stage.

"Jiaojiao, are you okay?" Tian has always hoped that his daughter would be more good. Now that her daughter is really good, she is not used to it.

The woman in the farmer's family was simple and unscrupulous. Chen Jiao guessed what Tian was thinking at a glance. Compared with her differences with Lin Jiao, Chen Jiao leaned intimately into Tian's arms and said guiltily: "Mom, my daughter was ignorant before, which made you two elders worry. After this trouble, my daughter realized that she was wrong. I will never worry you anymore."

In his arms was Jiaojiao's daughter and in his ears were filial and sensible words. Tian was immediately happy and never thought about it anymore.

"Okay, okay, we Jiaojiao has finally grown up." Tian said comfortably with his daughter in his arms.

Chen Jiao sighed softly, thinking a little bit about the mother of the Duke's Mansion, but everything here felt too real. Outside the window, there was no idea whose rooster was chucking.

"Come on, Jiaojiao, wash your face quickly." Tian went out for a while, then brought in the copper basin.

Chen Jiao glanced at the bronze mirror on the dressing table and was curious about her appearance in this life.

She put on her shoes and walked to the toilet stand first.

As her daughter recovered from a serious illness, Tian loved to help her roll up her cuffs and handed over the wet towel. Chen Jiao looked at the towel, which was 80% new but very clean, so she suppressed the little discomfort in her heart and closed her eyes and cleaned her face.

After washing up, Chen Jiao sat in front of the dressing table and looked at the mirror naturally.

The bronze mirror in the countryside is much blurry than that in the Duke's Mansion, but this does not hinder Chen Jiao's judgment of her face. Willow leaves bent eyebrows and peach blossom eyes, and a white face, even if they are placed in the capital, she can still win a place among the beauties, but she is slightly worse than her original appearance.

"We are becoming more and more beautiful." Tian said proudly, standing beside her daughter.

Chen Jiao smiled but said nothing.

After washing his face, Tian continued to prepare breakfast. Chen Jiao walked out of the room curiously.

In the yard, Lin Boyuan and Lin Yu and his son were talking face to each other. Lin Boyuan and Chen Jiao had already seen each other. Look at his brother Lin Yu, wearing a blue shirt, about the same size as his father, with fair skin and a scholarly spirit in his eyebrows.

"Is my sister's health good?" Lin Yu asked with concern.

Chen Jiao nodded and saluted her father and brother.

The father and son of the Lin family were both stunned. Fortunately, Tian greeted them in advance and knew that the girl in front of him was going to reform and etiquette was also taught by Lin Boyuan. The father and son quickly accepted the new temperament of their own girl.

Chen Jiao continued to secretly look at the Lin family's house, with three upper rooms on the north side and one wing room on the east and west side. She currently lives in the west side.

Just as Chen Jiao faced the upper room to the north, someone suddenly walked past in front of the open door to the south of the Lin family.

Lin Bo was far away and shouted loudly: "Han Yue, please stay!"

Chen Jiao turned around in confusion and saw an unusually tall farmer standing at the gate. The man was covered in coarse cloth and short brown, with his sleeves rolled up to his elbows, revealing a pair of strong bronze arms, and a little sweat in the morning light. Chen Jiao, a lady from the boudoir, never saw a man revealing her body, and turned around immediately at a glance. She didn't even see what the man looked like. The only deep impression was the man's burly and healthy body as strong as a mountain.

At the door, Han Yue seemed not to see the beautiful flowers of the Lin family inside, and only stared at the scholar Lin Boyuan, and suspected, "The Master is wrong?"

Lin Boyuan said: "That's right. Yesterday I went to the town to invite a doctor. I heard that Mr. Liu's son was going to play in the mountains and met a wild boar. Mr. Liu was frightened and rolled down the hillside. Fortunately, he only suffered some skin injuries. Now Mr. Liu is going to hunt the wild boar, and wants to recruit six heroes to accompany him. If he can hunt wild boar, each hero can be divided into two taels of silver. Do you want to try it?"

For farmers, two taels of silver is a very generous reward.

Han Yue then bowed to Lin Boyuan: "Thank you, Master, for telling me, I'll try my luck now."

Lin Boyuan smiled: "It's not worth mentioning."
