1037 Chen Yuan’s Past (2)
If their result was bad, there was no problem with marrying them away. But if their result was particularly good just like Chen Yuan, the highest possibility was for them to find a man to be married into Chen Family.
It was a rare case.
But it did happen from time to time in Chen Family because they wanted to preserve the most intelligent people inside their family.
The young Chen Ye let out a low laugh. “Yeah, I’m drafting this year. After all, I’m older than you and had to contribute to the country.”
“Father will let you get away without being married first?” the young Chen Yuan asked curiously.
“He had been selecting the women but didn’t find anyone satisfying.” While Chen Ye was not good enough, his result was for all to see. They wouldn’t want to pick a stupid girl to be his wife.
This was why they took a long time to be able to select his future wife.
“In that case, you’ll go first?” The young Chen Yuan was a bit disappointed.
“That depends on how things will go later on~.”
.....
The two of them chatted happily. Chen Yuan always liked her half brother very much and he was also the only one who didn’t feel jealous because she’s better than him. Instead of being jealous and competed with her, he would instead help her and asked question from time to time.
This was why their relationship were really good.
After that chat, the young Chen Yuan came back to see her mother. Her mother looked at her with frown.
“Chen Yuan, you’re not allowed to get too close to Chen Ye. He’ll be leaving soon while you’ll be the next head of Chen Family.”
“I know, Mom.” The young Chen Yuan pouted.
Chen Yuan’s mother looked at her daughter and nodded. “Make sure that you hold firmly onto the seat and practice well.”
“Yes, I will!”
Even though the young Chen Yuan could do the technique, her proficiency could be called low. The elders wanted her to practice it first until she was good before they would allow her to truly use it for their purpose.
The clueless Chen Yuan always practiced as hard as possible.
She wanted to make sure that she succeeded.
“Brother, I heard that you’ll start participating in the elder’s discussion?” The young Chen Yuan asked happily. Once the men become adult, they would be allowed to participate in the discussion and got involved in the process to determine the future of Chen Family.
“Yes, I got the notice not long ago.” The young Chen Ye nodded. “The elders want me to contribute to the family before I leave to the military.”
“I see.”
The young Chen Yuan kicked the stone in front of her. Being only 13 to 14 years old, she still retained her youthful innocent and the disappointment was clear on her face.
