Chapter 1 The Prostitute’s Scheming

When my mother was pregnant with me, my father met a prostitute.

She used scheming and sexual intercourse skills to charm my father so much that he couldn't find his home.

The two hung out in the Taoist temple for a month.

My father went to the Taoist temple with the intention of cultivating Taoism.At that time, he only wanted to practice Taoism.

After marrying my mother, I completed the task of carrying on the family line and went to a Taoist temple to hide from the world.

As soon as I arrived at the Taoist temple, I met Aunt Xue, a lady and coquettish woman.

Yes, that prostitute became pregnant the next month and became my father's aunt.

No one in our Lin family knows her nickname, we only know her surname is Xue.

At first, my father didn't know that Aunt Xue was a prostitute. He thought she was a girl from a wealthy family, but when she looked at people, her eyes looked like they had hooks.

Unlike my mother, who is a good woman and can't even act coquettishly, my father is honest and old-fashioned. He was immediately won over by Aunt Xue's methods and actually said, "I have lived in vain for the past 20 years, and now I know the benefits of being a man." nonsense.

Xing'er told me this.

Xing'er is Uncle Zhao's son, and Uncle Zhao is my father's follower.

Uncle Zhao knows best what happened back then, but he was tight-lipped. My mother asked someone to whip him with a bullwhip, but he didn’t say anything.

But in private, he secretly told Aunt Zhao, and Xing'er accidentally heard it.

Fast forward 13 years.

Aunt Xue was a prostitute and could not enter the Lin family's gate, so my father settled her in a small house to the west of Lin's house.

Her daughter, Linse, is 12 years old.

My mother finally acquiesced to her mother's identity and allowed Lin Se to freely enter and leave Lin's house in the future.

The day Lin Se came over, I got up early and kept asking the maid if she was here.I can't wait to go guard the gate!

But my mother said that I have to wait in the house for Linse to come visit me.

Lin Se first went to see my father and my mother, and then paid homage to his ancestors before coming here.

I can't wait to see more.

She's finally here.After meeting her, I realized why my father was fascinated by Aunt Xue. Linse not only had a picturesque appearance, but also had an elegant and generous manner.

I looked carefully into her eyes.

Maybe it's my misunderstanding, but I really feel that the way Lin Se looks at people is more charming than ordinary people.

People often say that the eyebrows are full of emotion, but the words are not spoken, and that's about it.

At first, I was quite happy when she came to play with me. Gradually, I didn't see her much because she always wanted to compete with me.

Aunt Xue is a very high-spirited woman. She has read four books and five classics, and is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. She taught all of it to Lin Se. Lin Se also worked hard to achieve her goals, and was highly valued by my father.

My mother didn't say anything on the surface, but secretly she always urged me to work harder. I was pushed hard, so I asked her if it was because of Lin Se.

My mother said, "You are the legitimate eldest daughter of the Lin family. You cannot be compared to her."

I said: "If we talk about comparison, it's her and me, not me and her. I am the concubine and she is the concubine. She has to get up at four o'clock every day to memorize scriptures and do embroidery work. It is extremely hard. She has some results to compare with me, but I won’t compete with her at all. Just based on this, I am invincible. If a person’s life is good, it will be useless no matter how hard others try, just like my mother You and my father are running back and forth on both sides, and Aunt Xue is charming and resorts to resorting to tricks. What's the use? Lin Se is not the only one. As for mother, she has had two children, a son and a daughter, for three years, and others are only jealous! So mother, you don’t have to worry about this matter.”

In fact, I just want to be lazy.

My mother is upright and old-fashioned, noble and prudent. If she told me that I was too lazy to do those things, she would definitely be angry, but if she said, "I can't compete with Lin Se", then the more provocative Lin Se is in the future, my mother will feel that she It's jumping up and down.

However, the servants still compare the two sides secretly, and even Uncle Zhao was bribed by Aunt Xue.Xing'er imitated his father's tone and said, "Thanks to Aunt Xue, otherwise I would still be practicing Taoism in a Taoist temple, leaving my wife to be a widow for the rest of my life. How would my life be easy?"

I was swinging on the swing and turned to glare at him: "Just tell me this. If my mother finds out, I will have to skin you!"

"That's natural." Xing'er said, pushing me hard again.

The swing was swinging high, and the kapok outside the wall could be seen blooming.

"Higher!" I said happily.

Xing'er pushed me hard and gasped: "The day before yesterday, I went to the west courtyard and heard the second lady asking the little maid about you. I hid behind the tree and listened to the little maid saying that the eldest lady feeds goldfish and sluts during the day. Swing, read books, and do some embroidery in the evening before I feel sleepy.”

"The second young lady asked the maid, what books does the eldest lady read?"

When I heard this, I felt bad. In less than a day, my father would come and burn my books. They were all Xing'er found with great difficulty from outside.

After getting off the swing, I ran to the study.

A woman came towards me, stopped me and said, "Miss, my master and his wife asked you to go to the front hall quickly. We have something important to discuss."

"What's the matter?"

"I heard that the palace is going to choose a concubine for the new emperor."

The relatives of the previous dynasty were too powerful in political affairs. Therefore, in the Daying Dynasty, in order not to be hindered by the relatives, the emperor selected his concubines from civilians.

In draft year, anyone over 13 years old must participate in the draft.

And I was just 13 years old.

I walked to the living room with my thoughts on my mind and saw a beautiful woman.

After seeing her appearance clearly, I couldn't help but feel a little in my heart, why is Aunt Xue here?

This is the first time I see her.

There were lotuses at her feet and she walked towards me, bowed with great salute, and said in a gentle voice: "My slave, please give my regards to the eldest lady."

There was something on my mind, and I was stunned for a moment.

At this time, my mother said: "Juanyun, please sit down, Aunt Xue."

I sat next to my mother and saw that Lin Se was also there.

After everyone was seated, my father said: "The eunuchs for the draft have arrived in our county. In the day after tomorrow, all families with daughters of school age will have to go to the county government office to participate in the selection. Juan Yun, you are of age, so it is said that you must go It’s just that your mother is reluctant to do the draft. Your Aunt Xue heard about it and is willing to let Sese take your place. Sese is 12 years old, and the age difference is one year. But outsiders don’t know this. If Sese goes, they will say that she is 13 years old and is her sister. , Juan Yun, you are my sister, Juan Yun, tell me what you think."

No wonder my mother was willing to let Aunt Xue into Lin's house. It turned out to be her favor.

I said: "No mother would be willing to let her daughter go to the draft, and Aunt Xue certainly wouldn't be able to bear it either. Sese and I are sisters, anyone can go, but Sese is a concubine in the family, and many people value this and don't care about us Sese at all. How good it is, instead of letting those small families pick and choose in the future, why not enter the palace and become a concubine. With Sese's good looks, she will definitely bring glory to our Lin family. I am a bit stupid, and I will lose the election. Going out to work hard in vain, why not Just follow your wishes, dad, and let Sese go!"

Half a month later, Linse was sent back.

Xing'er ran over with a pale face and stammered: "Oh my God! It scared me to death. I... don't even look like a human anymore!"

"Surprised, what happened?"

Xing'er grabbed my arm and I felt him trembling: "Second Miss is back... in the west courtyard... parked at the door. Many people came to see her. Madam... also went."

"Lin Se is back?" I put down the book, thinking that she might have lost the election.

Xing'er stared at me blankly, full of fear. After a while, he nodded and said tremblingly: "She, she's back..."
