The 37th year of the Kangxi reign

In a two-story house in the north of the capital, the host and hostess were anxiously waiting.

There was a young girl lying on the bed in the room. She looked to be about fourteen or fifteen years old. She was not particularly beautiful, but she was pretty.

At this time, the girl lying on the bed had a red face and kept shouting "cold, cold, I'm so cold"

There were two girls dressed as maids beside the bed, constantly changing the cold handkerchief on the forehead of the girl lying on the bed.

After about half an hour, the maid Cherry said with a happy face, "My Lord and Madam, the young lady's fever has subsided."

The host and hostess next to them hurried over when they heard it. The hostess, Dai Jia, touched the girl's forehead with her hand and said happily, "The fever has subsided. Baoer has finally subsided."

The host Lin Jiaanhe also said happily, "Really? Now you can rest assured, madam."

"Don't worry, how can I be at ease? If it weren't for you, how could my baby become like this and be laughed at by others?"

"Oh, it's my fault. I shouldn't have arranged this engagement for Baoer."

"But I was doing it for Baoer's own good..."

Madam Dai Jia said worriedly, "Yes, for Baoer's sake, the engagement has been broken up. Now there is only one month left until Baoer becomes an adult. What do you think we should do?"

Lin Jiaan said with a bitter face, "At most, I can pay Baoer's single tax for one year, and Baoer will have more than one year left."

"Alas, this is the only way,"

“Cough cough cough…cough cough”

"Baoer, you're awake" the couple stopped arguing

Lin Baoer opened her eyes, looked at the couple beside the bed, and then looked at the ancient and charming environment around her. "I..." her voice was hoarse as she opened her mouth.

"Cherry, pour your lady a glass of water," the lady ordered.

"Madam, the water is here." Cherry poured a glass of water and handed it to Madam, then sat down on the bed and let the young lady lean on her. Madam fed her the water.

"Baoer, drink slowly"

After Baoer finished drinking the water, Baoer looked at the couple and blurted out "Dad, Mom"

Madam looked at Bao'er with heartache and said, "My dear Bao'er, I'm sorry for your hardship. Your fever has just gotten better. You need to take good care of yourself. I'll ask Cherry and Orange to make you some food later. Take good care of yourself..."

Father Lin coughed twice with a guilty conscience. "Ahem, Bao'er, you just woke up, so take a good rest first. We can talk about anything later. Dad and your mother are leaving first."

After saying that, he took his wife and was about to leave. Baoer had just woken up and had no memory of his previous life. He just agreed to a few things and let the original owner's parents go first.

After her parents left, Baoer asked her former maid to leave first, saying that she wanted to rest for a while. When the room was empty, Baoer finally relaxed.

After what happened just now, Lin Baoer was sure that she had traveled through time. The original owner died of a fever, so she was reincarnated into her body.

Think of Lin Baoer, a modern high school graduate who just got into a third-rate university. Because she was too eager to study in her senior year, she wants to take a break. So she must take a good rest during the holiday.

So I either stay at home, watch TV or read novels, or eat, drink and have fun at home.

Or maybe it was because her parents saw that she had been idle for too long and didn't know how to go out for a walk.

So she was asked to go shopping with her cousin at her house and help her look for a dress for her engagement. But just as she left her building, a couple fighting upstairs threw a cell phone through the window and hit her on the head, causing her vision to go black.

Who would have thought that after regaining consciousness, she woke up as Lin Jiabaoer from the Qing Dynasty who had a high fever.

Lin Baoer considered herself just an ordinary member of the general public. With ordinary looks, an ordinary education, and an ordinary upbringing, she was as ordinary as could be.

I was planning to have a sweet relationship in college, after all, my parents strictly forbade me from premature love in high school. But I didn't expect to be born in this world in the blink of an eye.

Wow, who would have thought that I would be so lucky as to be chosen by the time-traveling god and become a member of the time-traveling army.

It’s a pity that I don’t have any memory of the original owner. Just as I was thinking about it, the original owner’s voice played in my mind like a movie.

The original owner's surname was Lin, and her name was Bao'er. She was born in April of the 21st year of the Kangxi Emperor's reign. Because her family had joined the Bordered Blue Banner of the Han Army, she was known as Lin Jiashi Bao'er. Her father, Lin Jia'anhe, served as the Chief Justice of the Dali Temple, a sixth-rank official.

It was March of the 37th year of the Kangxi Emperor's reign. According to Qing Dynasty regulations, men were considered adults when they turned 18 and women when they turned 16. The court stipulated that marriages must be made before reaching adulthood, otherwise a fine would be imposed.

The fines required varied depending on the family's status. For example, Lin Baoer's father was a sixth-rank official. If Lin Baoer hadn't married in a month before turning sixteen, she would have to pay a fine of 300 taels per year. A fifth-rank official would have to pay 400 taels per year, and the fine would be doubled the following year. And so on.

Given Bao'er's father's minor official status, the best approach was to quickly marry off his daughter or find a husband. Since Bao'er was the only daughter in the family, and the couple doted on her, the Lin family and their spouses were inclined to find a husband for Lin Bao'er to continue the family bloodline.

After all, the family really didn't have much money, and their savings wouldn't be enough to pay the tax in a few years. If someone couldn't pay the single tax, they would have no choice but to become a concubine, and it was a forced arrangement by the government.

So, when the original owner was about to come of age, her parents wanted to find a husband for their daughter. After careful selection, they finally chose the son of a certain family.

He was a colleague of the original owner's father in the officialdom and the youngest son of the chief clerk of the Imperial Household Department. The two families were considered to be well matched.

Because the family had too many children, they wanted to marry off some of them and keep their favorite children at home to take care of them in their old age.

The two families had originally agreed to get married on the day Baoer came of age, but unexpectedly, the youngest son of the other family had married into a rich family.
