Chen Chuan is also very busy these days. These days, he has visited almost every household in the Chen family that has a girl.
After some selection, there were more than 500 qualified girls, including of course his daughter, Chen Xue'e!
On this day, in an empty hall, more than 500 girls were called together.
For a moment, the hall was filled with all kinds of coquettish voices and graceful innocent women. It was really a paradise for men...
"Did you hear what the elders called us here for?" At this time, a woman in the crowd asked another woman next to her.
"Hmm... I don't know. It is said to be related to the senior invited by our family!"
"Ah? Is it related to that senior? I heard that that senior is our family's guest ancestor!"
"Yes, in a few days, the family will hold an ancestor worship ceremony. Didn't you see that the statue of the senior in the square has been carved?"
"It has something to do with that senior..." The woman murmured, and then her eyes showed a look of surprise, "I see that the senior is young, doesn't he have a Taoist companion yet? Could it be that he came here this time? Isn’t it possible to choose a Taoist companion?”
Another woman's eyes also lit up.
"Yes, yes, you are right."
"Shut up." At this time, an elder from the Chen family who was in charge scolded them, glanced at the two of them, and said lightly, "Choose a Taoist companion? What do you think? What kind of person is the ancestor? You are just trying to impress them. Junior Qi also wants to be his Taoist companion."
The two women were startled, and when they heard the man scolding them, they quickly lowered their heads carefully.
The man looked at them again, turned and left.
Not long after he left, the two women immediately raised their heads, stuck out their tongues at the man's back, and made faces, showing off their naughty expressions.
"Xue'e, your father is in charge of this matter this time. Don't you know what he is doing?" In the crowd, a girl stood with Chen Xue'e and asked curiously.
"Hey, why are you asking so many questions? You'll know it soon. Didn't you see how stern the elder just now was? How dare you ask!" Chen Xue'e glanced at the elders of the Chen family who had walked away, and said angrily. The girl next to me said.
"If you don't ask, don't ask!" the girl pouted.
Chen Xue'e was obviously dressed up carefully today. She was wearing a silver embroidered gauze skirt with a cyan jade belt tied around her slender waist, revealing her almost perfect and exquisite figure.
She was already extremely beautiful, and a touch of powder on her face made her look more elegant and refined. Against the background of many women, she stood out like a flower blooming in the grassland.
Not long after, Chen Chuan with a kind face walked in with his hands behind his back.
The laughter and laughter in the venue also stopped abruptly as he entered.
With a smile on his face, Chen Chuan walked in front of the crowd.
Glancing at it
Fang, then turned to the person next to him and asked, "Are you all here?"
"Here we come! There are five hundred and thirty-one people in total, and they are all here." The man responded.
Chen Chuan nodded and turned to look at the girl in the field.
"I think you still don't know why you are called here today."
More than five hundred girls immediately turned their heads and looked at each other with a hint of confusion. Only Chen Xue'e's beautiful eyes were shining.
Chen Chuan smiled.
"There is a good thing here today. I think you all know that our Chen family has worshiped Senior Ji as our ancestor. Our ancestor is still unfamiliar to us when he first came to the far south, so our family decided to choose a maid servant for our ancestor. "
As soon as these words came out, the silent venue immediately became noisy.
"Ah? Being a maid?"
"Hey, I thought I was going to be a Taoist couple. Even if I were to be a concubine, I would be willing to do it. How could I choose a maid?"
"That's right, why do you want to be a maid? I won't do it!"
Chen Chuan saw the expressions of many girls in the venue, and was not surprised. After all, they were descendants of the Immortal Cultivation Family, and their status was much more noble than mortals. Naturally, some of them would not be willing to let the pampered girls become maids.
"Stop making noise! Shut up, everyone."
At this time, a fierce-looking man shouted from the side.
The place became silent again.
Chen Chuan smiled lightly, "I think you must be reluctant, but we won't force you. If you don't want to, you can leave immediately."
As soon as the words fell, there was a sudden silence in the venue.
After a moment, a delicate voice sounded, "If we leave, will the family punish us?"
Chen Chuan smiled and shook his head.
Seeing that Chen Chuan said there would be no punishment for leaving, many girls breathed a sigh of relief, and then some of them left.
Some girls were still hesitating and couldn't make up their minds, but as soon as they were pulled by the people around them, they followed the people around them.
Chen Chuan waited quietly, still smiling.
After lighting the incense, more than half of the people in the venue were gone.
Seeing that no one left, someone first pointed their finger at the remaining girls to check.
"One, two, three, four...one hundred and five, one hundred and six..."
After a moment, the man raised his hand to Chen Chuan and said, "Elder, there are a total of one hundred and thirty-four people left."
"Yeah!" Chen Chuan nodded.
Scanning the faces of the only girls left in the field one by one, he suddenly raised his eyebrows and landed on Chen Xue'e. He rolled his eyes and turned away.
"Although we are selecting servants for our ancestors, there is only one quota, and the conditions are relatively strict. Not only do you need to check your spiritual qualifications and appearance, but you must also be proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, and songs. Now you feel that you are insufficient. Retreat immediately to avoid wasting time."
The women left in the venue were picked after hearing the news.
It was just a matter of choosing a maid, and it had to be so complicated. Conversations started again, and someone else immediately left.
Suddenly there were only about fifty girls left in the venue, but when they saw Chen Xue'e who stood out from the crowd, more than twenty more girls left. The venue, which was originally like a hundred flowers blooming, immediately became depressed, and only three girls were left. More than ten girls.
Chen Chuan nodded, swept towards the venue, walked in front of many girls, and nodded from time to time to signal them to leave.
When he reached Chen Xue'e, Chen Chuan paused in his steps, looked at Chen Xue'e who had dressed up carefully, and smiled meaningfully.
Chen Xue'e's beautiful eyes flashed, and she understood his father's thoughts, and her pretty face turned red.
Just like that, when Chen Chuan returned to his original place, there were only ten girls left in the venue.
"Okay, the ancestor's servants will be chosen among you." Chen Chuan said.
As soon as he finished speaking, someone closed the door of the hall.
Although there were only a dozen or so, because there were too many assessment items, the process lasted until late at night.
There were only two women left in the field at this time.
One of them, of course, was Chen Xue'e who persisted until the end, but the other was a woman who looked exactly like Chen Xue'e, named Chen Yao.
Chen Chuan frowned slightly. After such a long period of assessment, the two remaining people had excellent qualifications in chess, calligraphy, painting, and spiritual skills. They could be said to be the outstanding members of the Chen family, which made it difficult for him to choose.
His eyes swept back and forth in front of the two women.
Although he is Chen Xue'e's father, when it comes to family matters, he cannot show favoritism to avoid harming the family.
The other people who were conducting the investigation also showed embarrassed expressions.
Seeing the embarrassment of several elders, Chen Xue'e smiled faintly and said softly, "Why should uncles be in embarrassment?"
Chen Chuan and others who were worried were stunned when they heard this, and looked at Chen Xue'e in surprise.
"Oh? Xue'e, do you have any idea?" Chen Chuan asked.
"Of course. Since we are choosing maids and servants for Senior Ji, of course we must be pleasing to Senior Ji. Now that Sister Chen Yao and I are making it difficult for you to choose, why not take us to Senior Ji and let him choose?" Wouldn't it be better?" Chen Xue'e opened her red lips slightly and said.
"This method is very good, why didn't we think of it!" As soon as Chen Xue'e finished speaking, someone immediately clapped their thighs in agreement.
"Hahaha, maybe we have been too busy recently and our brains have become dull."
Chen Chuan's eyes also lit up, he took a deep look at Chen Xue'e and nodded, "Okay, in that case you can follow me."
Ji Liao sat cross-legged on the futon and meditated with his eyes closed.
A copper incense burner slowly filled the air with aroma.
He was meditating peacefully, thinking about what kind of talismans to fuse together to create a new talisman.
Ji Liao was a little worried, and as he made
He has more and more talismans, and there are not many talismans that he can fuse with. Moreover, the power of them is too low, or they are completely incompatible with other talismans. For a while, he has no clue.
"Huh..." Ji Liao took a long breath, "Forget it, the talisman in hand is enough for me now. I'd better practice the skills first and improve my cultivation level."
He closed his eyes again, but soon his brows furrowed, his eyelids raised, and he looked out the door.
"Ancestor, Chen Chuan wants to see you for something." Chen Chuan's voice came from outside the door.
Ji Liao's eyes flashed, and after thinking about it, he waved his hand casually and opened the door.
Looking up, he saw Chen Chuan standing respectfully outside the door with two pretty women.
He frowned, not understanding Chen Chuan's intention.
"Come in!" Ji Liao said calmly without thinking too much.
"yes!"
Chen Chuan bowed and saluted, and then carefully spoke to the two women behind him, "This is a big deal. Those of you who persist until the end must also understand that if you pass this test, you will be the servant of the ancestor. As for what you will do in the future." Whether you are a maid or a concubine, it’s all up to you.”
Chen Xue'e and Chen Yao nodded at the same time upon hearing this, and then walked in with Chen Chuan.
(Yu Bodhi: Recently, my mother’s eyes have become swollen and she needs a minor operation. Her children are going to school at home. She is a little tired from running between places every day. I haven’t written much during this period, so I can’t tell when. Don’t be too surprised that it suddenly became the first update, I will recover again soon.)
