"It's our first time meeting you, Miss Fourth. Please give me more advice in the future." Chen Xun greeted Chen Ruowei with a smile.
Although Chen Ruowei felt various dissatisfaction in her heart, she still showed a kind expression on her face and said, "Third Miss, please give me more advice in the future."
Chen Xun is very happy. After all, Chen Ruowei will call her sister from now on. Even if she was born half an hour earlier than herself, she still has to call her sister. Can she be unhappy?
Chen Xun met other members of the Chen family and met Chen Ying, the eldest son of Chen Wenbo, the eldest son of the Hou family. Chen Ying was indeed very satisfied with this outstanding heir to the Hou family. He had a very good appearance and temperament.
And her eldest brother Chen Hao is also a very good person.
In fact, the men in the Hou family are not playboys, and the three sons educated by Hu Guilan are all quite capable.
The Crown Prince Chen Wenbai has been very stable over the years. Even though he has been the Crown Prince for so many years, his father still has no intention of passing on the title to him. He still manages the family well and is able to do his job well.
Although Chen Wenbai, who is forty-five years old this year, still holds the title of Crown Prince, he actually has an official position. He is now the third-rank Minister of the Ministry of Justice.
Chen Wenbai is not just a playboy waiting for his father to pass on the title to him. With his own ability and some blessings from his father, he is now a third-rank official, which is pretty good.
As for the second master, Chen Wenbiao, he is a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy and is now a fourth-rank official; and Chen Xun's biological father, Chen Wendong, is a doctor under the Ministry of Industry and is a fourth-rank official.
The three uncles in the Hou Mansion, Chen and Yu, are all capable. The fourth uncle joined the Ministry of War and is now a fourth-rank officer; the fifth and sixth uncles are soldiers and have become fifth-rank captains on their own merits.
, it can be said that the men in the Hou Mansion are very promising.
Even though Chen Xun's biological father's backyard seems to be very messy, he is a man who is greedy for beauty, but there is nothing ambiguous about his work.
Although people like beauties, and having a wife like Zhao Xuexin is not enough, he also has many beautiful concubines and gave birth to many concubines, but he is indeed very responsible at work and does a very good job.
For the Marquis Chen Feng, he doesn't care about his son's backyard. As long as it doesn't harm the whole family, he won't care about his son's backyard. As long as there are no problems with his son's work and his future, he won't care about it.
so many.
It is said that when Chen Feng joined the army to fight, Hu Guilan gritted her teeth and asked all her three sons to study. Now her persistence has been proved to be right.
Although Hu Guilan really didn't like the concubine, she would not raise the concubine to waste. As for raising the concubine's heart and letting them compete for her son's family property?
That's impossible. She just needs to train the bastards and let them earn their own future. Why let them focus on such a small piece of land at home?
What if the concubine is crippled and they cannot support the family on their own? Do they have to rely on her or her son or grandson to support them? Hu Guilan would not engage in such a loss-making business.
Therefore, the three concubines of the Hou Mansion were well-raised, and when they grew up, they also achieved great success by relying on their own abilities, without holding back the Hou Mansion.
Chen Xun followed Chen Wendong, Zhao Xuexin and the others back to their courtyard while checking the introduction of Pingyang Hou Mansion in the original plot with the help of the subsystem.
When she came back to her senses, she found that she was standing in a courtyard. Zhao Xuexin pointed to one of the rooms and said to Chen Xun, "You can live here from now on."
Anyway, I won't stay here for too long. This newly found daughter will be married off in a few months, so there is no need to make such a big move.
"Do I live here?" Chen Xun saw the room that Zhao Xuexin had prepared for her, then looked at Chen Ruowei next to her and said, "Do I live in this yard alone?"
"You and Ruowei live together." Zhao Xuexin said, "The Hou Mansion is not a big place and has a large population. There is no way for you to live in a courtyard by yourself."
The population of the Hou Mansion is indeed very large. There are thirty-nine children of Chen Xun and her generation alone. With the addition of adult men marrying wives and having children, the population will be even greater.
Under such circumstances, how can the Marquis's residence be spacious? Of course, the girls all live in the same courtyard, and when they get married, they will be free.
Chen Xun: "..."
Chen Xun was really speechless. The population of Pingyang Marquis Mansion was indeed very large, but didn't they think about splitting up the family? Even if the Marquis was still there, the eldest son Chen Wenbai had not yet ascended to the title of nobility, so it was not easy to separate the family, but the population was so large, so
Can't you move out?
For example, her second uncle, her biological father, and several uncles who were born as concubines were not from the nobility, so why did they have to live in the Marquis Mansion?
Do you think it is more noble to live in the Marquis Mansion?
The specifications of the Marquis Mansion are indeed quite good. Because Pingyang Marquis is a first-grade Marquis, some things in the Mansion are regulated and are very comfortable to look at and use.
If they move out, they will only be fourth- and fifth-grade officials, and they won't be able to use the things that can be used in the Marquis' Mansion, right?
"It's also because you are a legitimate daughter and my daughter that you and Ruowei can live in such a separate courtyard. If you were a concubine, we would all be crowded in the same courtyard." Zhao Xuexin said.
Chen Xun: "..."
It doesn't matter, anyway, she didn't have such a big house to live in when she was at her adoptive parents' home, so she can do whatever she wants.
As for living in the same courtyard as Chen Ruowei, will there be any conflicts if they don't look up when they see each other? Wouldn't there be conflicts if she didn't live with her?
Chen Ruowei doesn't like her, so does she just like Chen Ruowei?
Chen Xun smiled and said, "Okay, I'll live here."
She turned back to look at Chen Ruowei and said, "I won't bother you anymore, Fourth Sister."
Chen Ruowei was called sister again, her expression was a little stiff, but she still pretended to be nonchalant and said, "Don't bother me, Third Sister..."
Chen Ruowei gritted her teeth when she was called "Third Sister". Chen Ruowei felt pity for her good teeth. What should she do if they are worn out?
Zhao Xuexin looked at Chen Yun and then at Chen Ruowei, ignoring the quarrel between them, but said to the two maids following her, "These two are Cuiyu and Cuiju. They will serve you from now on."
Chen Xun looked at the two maids who stood up. They were both young girls about the same age as her. They were pretty and cute, and seemed to be quite well-behaved.
But Chen Xun would not think that they would focus on her wholeheartedly just because they looked quite well-behaved. After all, they were trained by Zhao Xuexin, and the contract of betrayal was also in Zhao Xuexin's hands.
But she didn't care that much. It was Rang who was here to serve her anyway, and she didn't intend to treat these two people as her confidants.
"You go and freshen up first. You will share it with your grandmother and your aunt and uncle during dinner." Zhao Xuexin said, and then told Cuiyu and Cuiju, "Take good care of the third girl and freshen her up well."
Fan, do you know?"
"Yes, ma'am." Cuiyu and Cuiju responded obediently.
Chen Xun didn't care so much. She found her own room according to Zhao Xuexin's arrangement. She had to take a good look at where she would live in the next few months.
