Chapter 501 The Four Girls of the Chun Family

At this time, Yu Yuanzheng had just finished her meal and was preparing to take a walk outside the yard to help digest the food.

Then I saw two elderly people coming together.

"Is there something wrong with the two mothers-in-law?" Yu Yuanzheng saw that they were frowning.

"Princess, until now no one has signed up to go with you. What should we do?" Grandma Ye said anxiously.

"Then do you know the reason?"

"I know. I don't know anything about the outside world. I'm afraid if I go with you, I'll never come back."

"Well, it's normal for them to have this idea. So, find a family where the mother has passed away and only girls are left. Bring them to me and I will persuade them." Yu Yuanzheng came up with an idea.

The two old men went over each family in their minds.

The four sisters in the family chosen were actually born to two mothers, who were sisters. Each mother gave birth to two daughters, but they did not separate and lived together.

The largest is twenty-five, the smallest is fifteen.

Granny Cui went alone to find the family.

Yu Yuanzheng noticed that the four sisters were a little thin and not as strong as other women.

I guess there are no adults at home, so they have to rely on themselves and their lives are a bit difficult.

The skin is dark, blown by the sea breeze.

The calluses on the hands are obvious.

The four of them look somewhat similar, all with round faces.

Her hair was combed very sleekly and pinned at the back of her head with two small wooden sticks.

This is how the women here dress.

"Greetings, Princess." Before coming, the four sisters were told by Granny Cui to follow the etiquette, so they took the initiative to greet her with a bit of shyness.

But he only said these four words, but didn't know how to salute.

"What are your names?" Yu Yuanzheng asked gently, afraid of scaring the girls.

"My name is Chunhua, Princess."

"My name is Chunye."

"My name is Chuncao."

"My name is Chunshui."

The four sisters registered in order of age.

"Your surname is Chun?" It was the first time Yu Yuanzheng heard this surname and she was curious.

"Yes, Princess. Our mother's surname is Chun." Chunhua replied.

"Oh. Grandma Ye, do all the villagers on your island take their mother's surname?" Yu Yuanzheng was curious again.

"When our ancestors first came here, all the children took their father's surname. But later on, there were fewer and fewer men, and in the end we didn't even need to get married. Men just had to get women pregnant. So now we all take our mother's surname," explained Grandma Ye.

Yu Yuanzheng understood as soon as she heard it.

Men are not responsible for raising children, as the mother does all the raising. The children do not live in the same home with the man.

Naturally, I took my mother's surname.

"Ladies, please sit down. I want to have a good chat with you." Yu Yuanzheng smiled and asked them to sit opposite her.

There was a long bench that was just big enough for the four of them to sit on.

Lixiang and Taoxiang boiled some water, and Yu Yuanzheng specifically told them to make a cup of sugar water for the four girls instead of tea.

"Come, try this water and see if it tastes good." Yu Yuanzheng pushed the cup towards the four girls.

The four sisters of the Chun family shyly withdrew their hands and dared not drink.

"The princess asks you to drink, so just drink. The princess is a very nice person, there's no need to be so reserved." Granny Cui helped persuade them.

The four girls then brought their cups to drink.

As soon as the sweet water entered their mouths, everyone showed surprised expressions.

They had never tasted water like this in their lives.

So delicious!

But they don't know how to describe the taste.

By the way, the milk that the sows raise at home give birth to piglets has this taste.

There was a time when the sow in their family gave birth to only three piglets, and there were several nipples that the piglets had no food to eat. Every time the piglets drank milk, liquid would flow out.

Out of curiosity, they dipped it in water and tasted it, and it had the same flavor, but not as strong.

Later they collected the milk into bowls and let the whole family taste it.

At that time, their mother said that they grew up drinking their mother's milk.

This taste is called sweetness.

Yes, it’s sweet.

Nothing on the island was sweet, so they had never tasted anything so sweet.

"Princess, this water tastes so good. Is this taste called sweetness?" The youngest Chunshui asked after savoring it for a long time.

"Yes, this is the sweet taste. I asked the maid to add something called sugar into the water. There should be no sugarcane on Haiyue Island. Have you never eaten sugar?" Yu Yuanzheng could tell from their expressions.

The plants on this island cannot be compared with those on land.

When their ancestors fled, they could not bring too many things with them, so they could only take the most necessary and important things.

The four girls drank the entire glass of water in one breath.

They really couldn't resist the temptation of the taste.

“Four Spring Ladies, I have called you here to persuade you to come with us.

I know you are afraid that you won’t know how to live after leaving Haiyue Island.

Don't worry, I will definitely guarantee your life.

At worst, you can be my maids and follow me for a long time.

Look at the two maids beside me. They only need to help me with some chores and take care of the children every day.

When they are about 18 years old, I will find a husband for them, let them get married and have children, and then they will have their own family.

When you get married, you will have someone to love and care for you.

At the same time, I will arrange for them to help me with other things and earn money to support the family." Yu Yuanzheng offered her a position as a maid to tempt her.

"Four sisters, please feel free to come with us. The outside world is a hundred times better than here. There are many things you don't have on your island. The houses you have here are only comparable to those of the poorest people in Wei.

Our capital is prosperous and bustling, and the houses are all made of tiles, which are not afraid of wind. But yours are all made of grass. I see that there are stones on the houses, probably to prevent them from being blown away by the sea breeze.

There are all kinds of food sold on the street. Once you step out on the street, all kinds of aromas waft around, making you so hungry that you don’t want to leave and just want to eat.

Our clothes are so soft to the touch and so comfortable to wear. But all you have on is coarse linen; you don't even have fine linen.

Our master, do you know what her identity is? The princess is not just Princess Rong. She is also the princess who protects the country of our Great Wei.

The princess is loved by the people of the whole country. She is the benefactor of all the people of Dawei.

She was a doctor with great medical skills and made great contributions to the Wei Dynasty.

Do you know how many people there are in the Great Wei? There are over 40 million, and we have an equal number of men and women.

There is no need to go to the mountains when you reach a certain age like you do. You have to bear all the pressure of life on your own.

And every woman out there gets married when she reaches a certain age and supports a family together with a man.”

Lixiang took the initiative to step forward and began to persuade people incessantly.

After hearing what Yu Yuanzheng and Lixiang said, the four Spring Girls were stunned.

Since the princess and her companions came ashore, the villagers had never spoken to them at such a close distance.

Where have I heard of this?

They would never have dreamed of what the two had just said.

Yu Yuanzheng didn't rush them, waiting for them to digest what they had just heard.

She asked Taoxiang to make a cup of sugar water.

The four girls took it subconsciously and drank it.

It still tastes the same as before.

Let them have endless aftertaste and can't stop.

"Princess, is this the most delicious taste?" Chunhua asked blankly.

"No, this isn't the most delicious flavor. Of course, everyone likes sweet, but there are so many delicious flavors in the world. Sweetness is just one of them. There are also sour, spicy, bitter, salty, fresh, and a combination of them. Tomorrow morning, the four of you will come to my place for dinner. I'll have the maid make you a pot of porridge."

"Thank you, Princess."

"Can you tell me your decision now?" Yu Yuanzheng said with a smile.

His eyes swept across the faces of the four girls.
