swear not to be concubine

Chapter 116

And then, Jian Yan wished she could turn back time, go back to the moment when she said yes, and slap herself hard from the start.

As he promised, he didn't make it to the last step, but he did all the first steps.

Jian Yan's face was so hot that she was about to burn, she took the quilt and tightly covered her face.

She felt that she was about to lose face.

At this time, Xu Zhongxuan's laughter reached her ears through the thick quilt.

"Don't be so stuffy, be careful to cover yourself."

Jian Yan only felt her face getting hotter and hotter.

She was angry and ashamed at the same time, she couldn't help but yelled in a low voice: "Get out."

There was another chuckle.Immediately afterwards, Jian Yan heard that nasty voice asking again: "I fetched water to scrub you?"

"I don't want to scrub. I want to take a shower, take a shower!!!" Jian Yan lifted the quilt and said viciously.

As soon as Jian Yan thought of this, she couldn't help but turn her head again, and gave someone a hard look.

A certain person was full of smiles, and did not retreat from her murderous eyes, but said softly: "Okay, then I will let Qi Sang Qihui boil the water."

Jian Yan's face was so blushing that blood dripped from it.

In such a late night, Qi Sang Qihui was called to boil water, what did he think?
"Come back," she called to him.

Xu Zhongxuan turned his head when he heard the sound, and asked with a smile, "What's wrong?"

Jian Yan glared at him angrily, and only said: "I don't want Qisang Qihui to boil water."

What kind of exquisite and transparent person is Xu Zhongxuan?He immediately understood what Jian Yan meant.So he smiled and said, "Shy?"

Noticing that Jian Yan's eyes staring at him began to show murderous intent again, he hurriedly said: "Then I'll boil the water, okay?"

Jian Yan looked outside, and under the cold moonlight, the snow on the roof became more and more crystal clear. It was such a cold night, and his wind chill hadn't healed yet...

So Jian Yan could only sigh resignedly, and said, "Forget it, I still won't take a bath. Come and lie on the bed, and I'll fetch water myself."

Speaking of lifting the quilt on his body, he was about to get up.

But Xu Zhongxuan rushed over in three or two steps, hugged her back to sit in the warm bed, wrapped her whole body in the quilt, then leaned over, pecked lightly on her rosy lips, and then straightened Standing up, she smiled and said, "I know you are worried about my cold. But my cold is already cured. Jian Yan, you are my medicine. With you by my side, I will be cured of all diseases."

Looking at such a pure and elegant person in front of outsiders, he didn't want to be so glib behind his back, as if he had smeared honey on his mouth, he used to speak sweet words to make people happy.

While Jian Yan was thinking sweetly in her heart, she saw that Xu Zhongxuan's gaze had become a little darker, so she followed his gaze and looked over.

When the water was brought and poured into the basin, Xu Zhongxuan took a clean towel and threw it into the basin.

Jian Yan was waiting to get up to wash it by herself, but Xu Zhongxuan had already wrung out the towel and came to sit on the edge of the bed, smiled and stretched out his hand to hold her down, and said: "Hey, don't get off the bed, I'll serve you."

For Jian Yan, such serving is actually a kind of torment.Especially in someone's deep and unclear gaze.

It's just that she couldn't screw Xu Zhongxuan.No matter how she said that she wanted to scrub by herself, he always refused to agree. In the end, she could only close her eyes, letting Xu Zhongxuan slowly scrub her body.

Because of her shyness, her face was flushed, and her body was covered with a faint pink.For Xu Zhongxuan, the delicate and fragrant nephrite can only be seen but not moved, so it is not a kind of torment.

But after all, she hasn't reached the point yet, it's too early to do something like that, it's not good for her health.So no matter how restless the heart is, it can only be endured desperately.

After a while, he finally scrubbed Jian Yan's whole body.Then he carefully and gently pressed her onto the bed, covering her whole body with the quilt.

Jian Yan opened her eyes and looked at him, and said stubbornly: "I'm going to sleep with Si Yue."

She was obviously terrified of what had just happened.

In such a situation just now, it was really only a short kick to score a goal.If it happens again, who knows what it will be like?
Knowing the fear in her heart, Xu Zhongxuan leaned down and kissed her lightly, then smiled and said, "Just sleep here and don't go anywhere. I swear I won't touch you again tonight, okay?"

Jian Yan looked at him with distrustful eyes, and said crisply: "Liar."

"I didn't lie to you." Xu Zhongxuan said with a smile, with a small and warm smile in his eyes, "but you'd better put on your underwear while I'm going to wash my body, or I'll hold such a You really might not be able to bear it."

Then, under Jian Yan's knife-like gaze, he smiled and went behind the screen.

There is no embroidery on the white silk gauze on the screen at the bottom of the mahogany base, it is just a piece of plain white.

Jian Yan could see his slender figure reflected on the screen, and his every move was so clear.

She blushed, looked away, and quickly put on her underwear.After thinking for a while, he went to the box next to him to rummage, found another brocade quilt and spread it out.

So when Xu Zhongxuan finished scrubbing and came over in his underwear, what he saw was that two quilts had already been spread on the bed.Jian Yan was sitting in the quilt on the inside, looking at him with a smile.

The hairpin on her head was taken off, her black hair was pouring down her shoulders, and the smile on her lips was clear and sly.

Xu Zhongxuan felt that whenever he was with Jian Yan, he couldn't help but want to hug her and kiss her.As if no amount of hugging or kissing was enough.But just now he promised her that he would not touch her again tonight...

So he glanced at the two quilt tubes, thinking that it would be good to sleep separately like this, otherwise he was afraid that he would really lose control.

So he went to bed, lay down in a quilt outside, and urged Jian Yan to lie down too, so as not to catch a cold.

Just now when Xu Zhongxuan went to bed, he had already blown out the candle.But tonight is the [-]th day, and the moonlight outside is like silver like water, slanting through the paper window onto the blue brick floor of the house, clear and transparent.

Although they didn't sleep together, they were sharing the same bed after all, especially after such a quiet time, Jian Yan's heart was still beating wildly.

God testifies.Although speaking of it, she is also someone who has read novels, novels, and the island nation's pornography, but in fact, this is really the first time that she has experienced such a thing tonight.What's more, the two of them are still lying on the same bed like this...

The hands crossed on the chest became tighter and tighter.She thinks otherwise, she'd better go and sleep with April.

So she coughed lightly, and was about to mention this matter tactfully, but Xu Zhongxuan, as if aware of it, spoke one step earlier than her, and said, "I'm curious what your era was like. You and I Tell me about your time in that era, okay?"

Jian Yan was taken aback.

The era in her previous life.There are too many things, which one should I start with?And when I think about it, I feel that it is already a very distant dream, and it feels a little unreal.

She was silent for a moment, and then asked softly: "What do you want to hear? About that era."

Xu Zhongxuan stretched out his hand, covered her clasped hands, and said in a low voice, "Everything about you."

That era was unimaginable to him.In fact, if he said it sincerely, he didn't really want to know. He is a person who pays attention to living in the present.But he wanted to know everything about Jian Yan.

Jian Yan settled down, and then slowly said: "In that era, I was born in a very happy family. According to the current era, my father is also an official. As for the official position, It should be similar to the governor you are talking about now. My mother has already retired at home because of her poor health. I also have an older brother who is ten years older than me. Well, it’s the businessman you mentioned. It’s just that the status of businessmen in our era was not as low as yours, but it was quite high. I myself was in college, and I was in my sophomore year before I came here.”

"University?" Xu Zhongxuan turned his head to look at him on the pillow, and asked in a deep voice, "What is that? Can women also go out to study?"

"Yes." Jian Yan also turned her head to look at him, and said with a smile, "In our era, women and men were allowed to go out to study, and they all studied together. Usually they went to kindergarten at the age of three. , go to primary school at the age of six, primary school for six years, followed by three years of junior high school, three years of high school, and then decide which university you can go to based on your college entrance examination results. University is four years, after graduation you can Come out and find a job by yourself.”

Xu Zhongxuan calculated silently in his heart, and then asked: "Then you were 20 years old when you came here?"

Jian Yan nodded: "Yes."

She smiled and asked him, "Do you think I'm too old?"

Xu Zhongxuan was silent for a moment, and finally asked the question he was most concerned about: "Your girls are 20 years old and haven't married yet? Still want to study?"

Jian Yan laughed, turned sideways, faced his direction and said with a smile: "What is 20 years old? You will be 22 years old when you graduate from college. This is not counted as graduate school or Ph.D. Then you have to work for a few years. How could it be possible to get married so early? Marriage means getting married. In our place, girls cannot marry earlier than 20 years old, otherwise they will be fined. So in the city, people who are not married at the age of 30 There are a lot of men and women. Look at my brother, he is 30 years old, and he is still a bachelor, and he has no intention of getting married at all."

When Xu Zhongxuan heard the words, his face turned dark.After a while, he said in a low voice: "But Jian Yan, I want to marry you earlier."

Jian Yan stretched out her hand to pinch his nose, and teased: "I'm still so young now, and I was still in junior high school in my previous life. You beast, you have to get her idea of ​​a kid in junior high school."

Xu Zhongxuan grabbed her mischievous hand, thought for a while, and said seriously: "The wife of Mr. Zhao you met last time was married to him at the age of 15. Jian Yan, here, women They got married around Jiji. Some would be earlier."

After a pause, he continued: "A few days ago, Zheng Guogong sent me a post, inviting me to his house for a banquet tomorrow. I asked Qi Sang to inquire about it. Zheng Guogong not only invited me, but also invited me. Many other officials in the court, and their family members will also go there. I think I will bring you and Jin Er to go there tomorrow, and only say that you are my distant cousin. At that time, even if Mrs. Zheng Guogong’s health is not good, she will not be able to come out to entertain guests , but you can also visit her in the name of visiting her. After all, mother and daughter are connected, and you are so similar to her cousin Mei Niang, she will definitely be suspicious. You just act accordingly and try to speak vaguely to make her suspicious, so she will naturally send someone to investigate your details afterwards. Mrs. Jane, Pearl is already doing things for me, and I will meet tomorrow Send someone to ask her about this matter. As for Mother Shen, as you said, since Mother Zhao is dead, now only Mrs. Jane knows about it, and Mrs. Jane is probably not willing to say it now. Know your background, after all, she promised you to Zhou Yuanzheng as a concubine, and Zhou Yuanzheng promised her so many benefits. If you admit that you are not her own, then all she has done in the past is nothing Now, she will definitely not be reconciled. But don't worry, I will use Pearl to persuade Shen's mother, and let her tell Mrs. Zheng Guogong the truth."

"But after all these years, I've looked at it coldly. I'm afraid that Mother Shen is not someone who can be settled so easily."

Xu Zhongxuan took her hand, held it tightly in his palm, and then said: "Everyone will always care about worldly things like wine, sex, wealth, power, fame and fortune. As long as you know what she wants, and then give it to her." If I let her go, she will naturally be used by me."

"What about you?" Jian Yan suddenly asked him with great interest, "Which of these mundane things do you care about? Or which ones?"

Xu Zhongxuan glanced at her with a half-smile: "What do you think?"

Jian Yan only felt that she was rubbing fire, so she hurriedly changed the subject, and asked again: "I met Mrs. Zheng Guogong, and then what should I do?"

Xu Zhongxuan pondered for a while, and then said: "You will wear that silver lock next to your body tomorrow, and you will find a chance to show it to Mrs. Zheng Guogong. As for the ebony waist card, I will let Qi Hui set off tomorrow and rush to Long The Xing Mansion was handed over to Mrs. Jingyuan again. ——If Mother Shen told the truth, the Duke’s Mansion would definitely send someone to the Longxing Mansion to invite Mrs. Jingyuan to come over to verify. I will let Qi Hui keep secretly escorting her Watch Mrs. Jingyuan until she enters the capital, and watch her enter the Duke’s Mansion. ——As for you, I will send you back to Tongzhou when you come out of the Duke’s Mansion tomorrow. If someone asks you about Biyun and Mama Cui Whereabouts, you only said that there are too many people in Shangyuan Ye capital, you were dispersed, and you don't know the whereabouts of the two of them. And all other things will naturally be handled by me, you just need to rest assured Just wait in Tongzhou to be picked up by Zheng Guogong’s mansion. After Zhou Yuanzheng’s business is over, I’ll come to propose marriage. Then we’ll get married when you reach your birthday in July this year, okay?”

Jian Yan squinted at him, and replied crisply: "No. I don't want to get married so early. At least I have to wait until I'm 20 years old to think about it."

20 years old, that means there are still 5 years...

Xu Zhongxuan moved closer, and there seemed to be waves slowly rippling in his dark eyes: "But I can't wait. I want to go to sleep holding your hand every day, and wake up in the morning The first person to see is you. Don't you want this?"

After finishing speaking, he took her white and soft hand and put it on his lips, licking her root one by one.

His warm lips wrapped around her fingertips like this, and sometimes he deliberately nibbled on her fingertips. Jian Yan could only feel a surge of electricity from the fingertips, which quickly spread to all parts of her body, making a prick in her chest My heart was beating wildly.

She hastily withdrew her hand and stuffed it under the quilt.His face was red, his eyes were fluttering, and he looked at the blue gauze curtain beside him, but he didn't dare to look at Xu Zhongxuan.

Xu Zhongxuan seemed to have not teased her enough, so he leaned closer, only half a finger away from her cheek, and then smiled softly: "There is a grain of rice on your back near your right shoulder. What a rare red birthmark is in the shape of a plum blossom. Snow-skinned red plum, do you know what kind of beauty that is? Thrilling can’t be an exaggeration. I wish I could walk along your shoulder..."

Before she could say a word, she saw that Jian Yan had turned her back, lifted the quilt to cover her head and face, and at the same time a rough voice came over: "Sleep."

Xu Zhongxuan knew that she was shy.He smiled softly, but in the end he didn't tease her anymore, he just found her hand, ignored her struggle, and held it tightly in his palm, and then closed his eyes.

He thought, if people really have an afterlife, it's not just this life, but the next life, the next life, life after life, he will hold Jian Yan's hand like this all the time, and he won't let go until the end of time.
