Chapter 15 The Family

Under the leadership of Wu Ping, Chen Yue walked towards Caishi Street. According to Wu Ping, it was there that he and his sister were separated. Along the way, Wu Ping told Chen Yue about his life experience.

Wu Ping is a native of Kaifeng, Henan, and his father is a person with a solid family background and a good reputation in Kaifeng. However, Li Chuang attacked the city three times, and the surging water of the Yellow River changed everything, and only six members of the family died of dozens of deaths, father and mother, and two half-brothers, as well as Wu Ping and his sister. After escaping to Hebei, my father took the family to Beijing, trying to find a job in the same year, but before he could reach Beijing, his father died of a sudden serious illness. After burying his father hastily, a family of five came to Beijing with great difficulty, but who knew that his father had been transferred to other places in the same year, and the family who had spent all the money was dumbfounded in Beijing. Wu Ping and his sister were originally concubines, but their mother-in-law had other thoughts, and sold Wu Ping and his sister to traffickers for the survival of her mother and son.

Speaking of his mother-in-law's behavior of selling herself and her sister, Wu Ping's eyes flashed with a hint of fierceness.

In this troubled world, there is more than one family like Wu Ping's sister and brother who are so miserable, and Chen Yue only sighed slightly in his heart after hearing it. He is not a saint, and he knows how many pounds and taels he has. There are too many people with miserable backgrounds in this world, and he can't save them and doesn't want to save them one by one. As long as he and his father Chen Jianghe can live a good and peaceful life, this is what Chen Yue thinks now.

The reason why he agreed to Wu Ping to save his sister was for two reasons, one was to completely subdue Wu Ping's heart and make him willing to die for himself. Although Wu Ping is now sold as his own slave, a slave who goes to the soup for himself is not the same as a half-hearted slave. The second reason is that looking at Wu Ping's delicate appearance, his sister should also be a rare beauty, there are two singles in her own family, father and son, and even the laundry and cooking have to be done by yourself, and having a beautiful maid to do laundry, cooking, and making beds and quilts is also a rare enjoyment!

came to Caishi Street, and after some inquiry, Chen Yue finally found the trafficker who bought Wu Ping's sister, fortunately Wu Ping's sister has not been sold to a brothel.

"What? Five hundred taels of silver! Chen Yue's eyes widened suddenly. What are you kidding, in this troubled world, human life is like a mustard, and a handsome maid is only ten taels of silver, how dare he open his mouth to his lion! Although Wu Ping's sister is very beautiful and has a pitiful appearance, it is not worth so much!

"This son, please see, twenty-eight years old, beautiful as a flower, the most rare thing is to read and break words, and be proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. If such a girl is sold to the Qinglou and trained a little, she will definitely be the top brand, and she is not much worse than Chen Yuanyuan of Qin Huai Bayan! Do you know what Chen Yuanyuan is worth? When Tian Guozhang ransomed her from Jiangnan, he spent 20,000 taels of silver! The rosacea trafficker held his head high, pointed his chin at Chen Yue, and said in an impatient tone.

"But, but when my mother sold my sister, she only sold it for twenty taels of silver!" Wu Ping couldn't help but exclaim. My sister looked at herself with tears in her eyes, which made Wu Ping very heartbroken.

"I can't spend money on raising her for these two days? I can't afford to wear silk and satin for her? Besides, it was the beginning, and now it is now, and there is no five hundred taels of silver to talk about! Rosacea said impatiently.

"But......" Wu Ping shouted and argued, but Chen Yue pulled him around and left.

"Brother, you will follow this son to do things well in the future, don't be lazy!" Seeing her younger brother being pulled away, Wu Ping's sister Wu Wan'er burst into tears and shouted orders at her younger brother.

"Sister, sister!" Wu Ping struggled and couldn't help turning around, while begging Chen Yue: "Ask the young master to save my sister!" ”

"I don't have that much money with me now, I'll talk about it when I get home!" Chen Yue's words gave Wu Ping hope again, so he obediently followed behind Chen Yue.

When I returned home, my father Chen Jianghe had already returned, and a large table of dishes was waiting for him. The things I purchased at each store have been delivered, and the house is full of them.

"I'm back! Who is this? Seeing his son come back, Chen Jianghe had a smile on his face.

"This is my newly bought servant, named Wu Ping. Wu Ping, come and see the master. Chen Yue said with a smile.

"Wu Ping has seen the master!" Wu Ping was very clever and had already knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

"Get up! How do you get it on your face? Chen Jianghe casually commanded, he had also been rich and noble, and he was accustomed to such things as making slaves and maids, and now that the family was rich, he was not surprised that his son bought a servant and came back.

"I'll say to my father in a moment, let's eat first." Chen Yue waved his hand to let Wu Ping stand aside.

There were sumptuous dishes on the newly bought dinner table, with chicken, duck and fish as well, and Chen Yue's saliva made his index finger move. The father and son sat opposite each other, and Wu Ping stood aside and poured wine and rice, waiting carefully.

In the afternoon, Chen Yue took Wu Ping to the street again, and went to the traffickers in the outer city again, Chen Yue spent another ten taels of silver to buy back two fourteen or fifteen-year-old boys, one called Dog and the other called Stone. To Wu Ping's disappointment, Chen Yue did not use the silver to ransom his sister. In fact, after being taken home by Chen Yue in the morning, Wu Ping no longer had any illusions about redeeming his sister, and looking at the situation of the Chen family, it was not at all like the scene of being able to take out hundreds of taels of silver to ransom people.

In the evening, after dinner, the three servants lined up, and the head of the house, Chen Jianghe, lectured them.

"Since you have sold yourself to my Chen family, you will be my Chen family's descendants in the future. I don't have a lot of rules in the Chen family, and there are three things you should keep in mind.

First, you must not do anything that betrays the Lord, keep your mouth shut, and do not divulge the affairs of your house to any outsider. Violators were beaten to death with sticks.

Second, the hands and feet should be clean, no stealing, no damage to the public and private, violators will be beaten to death.

The third is to keep their duties, do their own work well, do not fight and make trouble, do not talk too much, and those who fail to do their duty will be held accountable. ”

Chen Jianghe was very imposing, and the faces of the three teenagers who killed one and scolded one with a rod turned pale.

"Also, since you have entered my Chen family, your original surname can no longer be used, and you will all change your surname to Chen. As for the name, the young master will give it to you. After Chen Jianghe finished speaking, he walked away with his hands behind his back.

"Your original name was Wu Ping, now change it to Chen Ping." Seeing that his father gave up, Chen Yue only had to take over the task of choosing a name, "As for your original name Gouzi, you are relatively dark, so call it Chen Mo." "The silent black dog also fits his original name.

"Your name is Shishi, so you will be called Chen Yan in the future." Chen Yue said to the last teenager.

Chen Ping, Chen Mo, Chen Yan, and the three masters of the Chen family were born!
