The door opened, and four little girls walked in. They were dressed in different clothes, ranging from silk clothes to cloth clothes. They didn't have time to change their clothes. They probably learned the rules before entering. After they lined up in front of him, they bowed and said, "
I met my father."
Chen Yuanlue felt his head hurt. He couldn't tell how old these children were in front of him. He looked at his entourage and asked, "Where's the madam?"
The attendant hurriedly said, "Madam is in the front yard."
Chen Yuanlue strode out. The autumn morning was a bit cold. Chu Yunli sat on a chair wearing a cloak and looked at the large group of little girls in front of her. Some were lively, some were quiet, some were generous, and some were timid.
Chu Yunli had seen many people, and the ones he chose were all with clear eyes, generous demeanor, and they seemed to be uneasy at home. When he saw Chen Yuanlue striding over, he said with a smile, "Here it comes? Just in time, you can come and choose a few."
.”
"What are you doing so early in the morning?" Chen Yuanlue frowned, "I'm a close relative, so if you choose to come to the Chen family, wouldn't it be criticized?"
Chu Yunli raised her eyebrows, "They volunteered, I didn't force anyone. Besides, it's not like the girls were chosen from the Chen family. They were chosen to be the daughters of the Chen family, and I won't let them suffer any injustice."
Chen Yuan was slightly impatient, "What do you want with so many daughters?"
Chu Yunli looked confused, "Don't you like it?" As he spoke, he turned around and pointed his finger, choosing a thin one with patches on his body, "You stay."
Then he told the mother-in-law, "Send the others out."
When he heard that he had no choice, the person at the door immediately became anxious, "Madam, my daughter is the most well-behaved..."
"My family is also well-behaved and looks good..."
How could the mother-in-law allow them to yell together, but after a few breaths, she kicked them all out, and she said nicely, "My wife likes my daughter, and she may choose another daughter in two days. You go back and wait."
Bar."
It was said that Chen Yuan was asked to choose, but Chu Yunli had no intention of really letting him choose.
Seeing the mother-in-law driving people away, Chen Yuanlue's eyebrows relaxed slightly, "The selected ones have been sent away as well. For those of you who don't know, what do you think our Chen family is going to do with so many daughters?"
It is true that some families adopt beautiful girls as adopted daughters, and when they grow up, they serve as domestic prostitutes to receive guests, but this has never happened in the Chen family's ancestors.
"I've been here all morning, why are you sending them away?" Seeing Chen Xianle coming with the girl from a distance, Chu Yunli helped him adjust his collar with a smile, "Don't worry about it, I will take good care of them.
"
The couple were already close, so Chu Yunli's action was not abrupt. Chen Yuanlue didn't think much about it and said before leaving, "Send us off quickly!"
Chen Xianle approached, knelt down and said, "Father, mother, and daughter, I wish you well."
Chen Yuanlue wanted to speak, but Chu Yunli urged him, "Go, don't delay the business, I'm here."
Chen Yuanlue smiled at Chen Xianle and said, "In two days, when I am free, I will find a good and auspicious time to write your family tree. Spend more time with your mother."
Watching him leave, Chu Yunli looked at the girls behind him and ordered, "Take the five girls to Xianyuan and come to me after they settle down."
Xianyuan was specially allocated by Chen Yuanlue for Chen Xianle to live in. It has small bridges, flowing water, and scattered flowers and plants. The scenery is considered good in the entire Chen Mansion, and she lives alone in the huge courtyard.
Hearing this, Chen Xianle was a little nervous, "Mom, who else wants to live here?"
Chu Yunli looked at the eight-year-old girl and smiled, "I heard your father said that he was afraid that you would be lonely, so I specially found some companions for you. Like you, they are the adopted daughters of the Chen family. From now on, you will be together
Learn the rules and get along well."
Chen Xianle's face instantly turned pale, "But..."
Chu Yunli interrupted her and emphasized, "You are sisters, and you are both the same daughters of the Chen family. You come here for two days first, and you are my sister, so you have to take care of them."
Chen Xianle was speechless and was taken away by her mother-in-law.
Chu Yunli got up early and was a little tired. She went back to rest for a while. When she was having breakfast, Chen Xichao came over.
"Mom, I heard that you have found a few more sisters?"
He looked unhappy, "I don't like them."
Chu Yunli smiled, "Just pretend that they don't exist and they don't need your care."
Chen Xichao frowned, "But dad said that I am an older brother and I need to take care of my younger sister..."
"I gave birth to you! It's true that they are your sisters, but they are just adopted sisters. Relationships need to get along. If you like them in the future, you will take care of them." Chu Yunli reached out and handed the soup to him, "You
He is the eldest son of Chen. The most important thing now is to learn how to do business, not to take care of others. You are still young and you don’t need to take care of anyone. I am not adopting them to cause trouble for you."
Chen Xichao took the soup and drank it slowly, thoughtfully. After a long while, he tentatively asked, "Mom, did you and dad have a fight because of Xianle?"
This child is smart, already ten years old, and knows everything there is to know. Chu Yunli smiled and said, "She is just a little girl. Your father and I are husband and wife, so there is no reason to quarrel over her."
Just at this moment, Sanqi walked in and said, "Madam, the girls are here."
Chu Yunli smiled and said, "Please come in."
There were six girls of different sizes standing in front of them, all wearing pink clothes. Seeing Chen Xianle standing among them, there was another girl as tall as her. If you weren't careful, you wouldn't be able to identify which one was her.
Seeing this, Chu Yunli felt comfortable and said, "My sister is Xianle. You are divided according to age, Xianqin, Xianqi, Xianshu, Xianhua, Xianxiu. From now on, you will be sisters, so you must get along well."
.”
Then he pointed at Chen Xichao, "This is your eldest brother, but he is usually very busy. If you have anything to do, you can ask the manager or come to me. Don't bother him."
Chen Xichao nodded with a smile, "Hello, sisters!"
After finishing the sentence, I felt quite uncomfortable and quickly stood up and left.
Chu Yunli waited for him to leave and continued, "The old lady is old and likes to be lively. If there is nothing special, you will go to greet me every morning and evening from now on, and you will also come to greet me. Each of you will have something to say.
As a servant girl, you don’t need to do trivial matters. You can learn the rules and embroidery from Manager Lin, and I will also find you a female wife.”
Hearing this, the girls who had just arrived in the morning were overjoyed and hurriedly thanked him.
But Chen Xianle was a little at a loss and hurriedly followed her.
After the girls had given their greetings, Chu Yunli asked them to go back and settle down, "The ugly thing is ahead. Since you have become the daughters of the Chen family, the Chen family is your home, and the people of the Chen family are your family."
Everyone looked at each other and didn't think there was anything wrong with what they said. Compared with what they originally thought, they were now much better. At least the Chen family really planned to raise them as girls. Busy Fu retired, and Chen Xian was happy
But he didn't move, "Mother, I..."
Chu Yunli picked up the tea cup without raising her head, "Say!"
Chen Xianle swallowed her saliva and said, "My mother can rest for half a day today. I want to go back and see her."
Before coming, Chen Yuanlue had clearly said that she could go back to see her mother at any time, but in front of so many people...somehow, she felt that her request was too much.
Chu Yunli smiled half-heartedly, "Did you hear what I just said?"
Chen Xianle felt as if her cheeks were burning, "Listen...I heard..."
"If you don't want to be the daughter of the Chen family, I can send you back." Chu Yunli put down the tea cup, and the porcelain hit the table with a slight "bang" sound.
Chen Xianle's face turned pale immediately, "But my father said I can go back at any time."
"Yes!" Chu Yunli agreed and looked at the others, "Same goes for you. If you want to go home, you can come and tell me. Our Chen family does not force you to be our adopted daughter."
The other people naturally didn't want to leave and shook their heads.
Chen Xianle's face turned from red to pale, "I want to see my father."
Chu Yunli said leisurely, "I am busy with work and have gone to the shop now. If you want to go home, you don't have to ask him, I can make the decision for you."
I can't get used to this problem of hers!
She is the daughter of the Chen family and can come and go freely. Here she calls Chen Yuanlue her father, and here she calls Lin Ranran her mother. Over there she calls her own mother her mother. It makes me shudder when I think about it. I don’t know, I thought it was this.
Where is the foreign girl who was brought back?
The little girls over there didn't know Chen Xianle's origins. Seeing how courageous she was, they unconsciously stayed away from her.
Chen Xianle only felt ashamed and annoyed, but she also knew that she could save her mother trouble by staying in the Chen family, and the life in the Chen family was much better than her original life. She would not be able to leave if she really wanted to.
After the little girls left, Sanqi whispered, "Madam, if you do this...will the master be angry?"
Doesn't matter if he is angry or not?
Chu Yunli ordered, "The girls' food and clothing expenses are the same. The masters who teach rules and embroidery and calligraphy all live in the Xianyuan. Time is arranged for them to learn together every day. This will be the case for the time being."
She had hired several wives, and there was no shortage of food and clothing from them. In this way, Chen Yuanlue couldn't tell her fault.
In the previous life, the Chen family only had an adopted daughter, Chen Xianle, who came and went freely. Chen Yuanlue would often come back with small gifts for her. Chen Xianle was smart and sweet, which pleased Chen Yuanlue. Occasionally she would talk about her mother's hardships, which she heard
If there are too many, the man will be attracted to her... The two of them were childhood sweethearts, so it seems that it is not unusual for them to get involved.
Chu Yunli snorted coldly. In this life, he has six adopted daughters. How can he have the nerve to open a small stove?
While he was deep in thought, Sanqi came in and said, "Madam, I would like you to come over and discuss something important."
I know! I must be asking these girls about it.
When Chu Yunli arrived at the old lady's Changfuyuan, the old woman at the door directly invited her in. In the room, in addition to the old lady who was at the top, Lin Ranran's two sisters-in-law were sitting at the bottom.
Greetings, mother."
"Sister-in-law is really kind-hearted and has raised so many daughters. If you like it, I can share it with you. After all, you are from the Chen family, and this benefit does not fall on outsiders." The person who spoke was the second wife, Mrs. Liao.
, she and Lin Ranran are direct sisters-in-law. The Liao family is far behind the Lin family, and there are four concubines in the second wife's house. I don't know if it's because of jealousy or something, but she can't stand Lin Ranran anyway. She usually doesn't like Lin Ranran.
They often kept secretly telling each other, "Brother and sister, are you right?"
The third youngest is a concubine, and the third younger sister, Yang, is usually silent in Changfuyuan and is not offensive to others.
At this time, he turned around to serve tea and spoke in a low voice to the maid, as if he didn't hear her.
When no one responded, Liao sneered coldly, "You are less courageous than a mouse!"
Yang was not angry either and pretended not to hear.
Chu Yunli smiled, walked aside and sat down, "There are many girls in the second house, but I don't like them. What can I do?"
Not to mention Chu Yunli, not even the original Lin Ranran was afraid of her.
Mrs. Liao snorted coldly, and the old lady frowned, "Yesterday I heard Yuan Lue say that he wanted to record his adopted daughter in the family tree? This one is enough, what does five or six mean? Our Chen family has no shortage of daughters."
Chu Yunli smiled in her heart and agreed with her face, "My mother is right, my daughter-in-law has the same idea. As a girl, just love her and raise her. When she is old, she will be given a dowry. There is no need to memorize any genealogy, but Master
If you insist... please ask mother for advice."
In her previous life, Chen Xianle was on the family tree, and Lin Ranran was indispensable. She felt guilty for not helping Chen Yuanlue give birth to a daughter, and she loved Chen Xianle, but she helped. You know, sometimes what Lin Ranran said can mean
The old lady also has to worry about the Lin family's position.
Seeing her saying this, the old lady breathed a sigh of relief, "It's best if you think so. I'll go and talk to Yuan Lue."
"However, since I have taken this girl here, I still need to educate her well. Not to mention getting married, at least not to make them resentful. It may be a help to Xi Chao in the future."
This kind of thinking of the old lady is normal. People like Chen Yuanlue who offer all good things with both hands will only make them more dissatisfied!
