Hearing Lin Zhongtian's words, Daya looked at him with a dazed look.

The housekeeper next to her reacted. She remembered the girls her sisters had brought home. After hesitating for a moment, she mustered up her courage and asked cautiously, "Um, Mr. Lin?"

"Um?"

Lin Zhongtian turned his head.

The housekeeper's face turned slightly red, and she said shamelessly in a low voice: "There are several other maids in the house, would you like to take a look at them all, sir?"

Lin Zhongtian was startled when he heard this, then he smiled and said, "Okay, then bring them all here so I can take a look!"

As mentioned before, after Yun Ye assumed the identity of the ancestor, eight more sisters appeared out of thin air.

Among these eight sisters, only Da Ya and Xiao Ya are real daughters of the Yun family. Their father is the third son of the Yun family who survived the Yun Dingxing case by chance due to a broken leg, and is Yun Ye’s third uncle.

In terms of blood relationship, she is Yun Ye’s closest cousin.

Among the remaining six younger sisters, two are the biological daughters of the aunts, one is called Runniang and the other is called Yinniang, both of whom are also cousins.

There are four younger sisters, Xiaodong, Xiaoxi, Xiaonan and Xiaobei. All four were adopted by Yun Ye's aunts. Their identities are unknown, and therefore they have never been liked by the grandmother.

But Yun Ye treated them equally. The aunts treated them as their own daughters, and Yun Ye also treated them as his own sisters.

This time, when welcoming the distinguished guests, the old grandmother attached great importance to etiquette and rules, so she only brought Daya and Xiaoya, two real daughters of the Yun family. The other six cousins ​​in the family were not qualified to appear.

If the housekeeper hadn't said something extra, they might have missed this great opportunity.

Outside the lobby, the old lady was leaning on a cane, looking rather unhappy. Not to mention the housekeeper in front of her, who kept wiping tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, as if she had just been scolded by the old lady.

According to the old lady, these cousins ​​will all get married in the future.

It would be fine if she could really keep her mouth shut and not reveal her abilities to others, but if she were to marry into her husband's family in the future and show her abilities to others, wouldn't that mean she would be leaking the Yun family's secrets?

The housekeeper also agrees with the old lady's idea.

But she still felt sorry for her daughter and did not give in on this matter.

Lin Zhongtian glanced at the scene outside the lobby and couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.

After all, the old lady is old and is the oldest ancestor in the Yun family. Lin Zhongtian naturally would not care if she scolded the women in the family.

But at the same time, when it comes to passing on skills, the old lady doesn’t have much say.

Lin Zhongtian can teach whoever he wants to teach, and as long as he makes a decision, the old lady will not object.

Thinking of this, Lin Zhongtian couldn't help but cast his gaze on the eight girls, big and small, in the hall.

He had already seen Daya and Xiaoya. Daya was gentle and lovable, but she also had a good foundation and a sharp mind. She was considered to be the one with the best talent for martial arts among the group of girls.

The little girl is innocent and lively, she likes to eat and is active. Because of her personality, she is the most favored one in the family.

Before returning to Chang'an, Yun Ye instructed Lin Zhongtian to help discipline this girl so as to prevent her from becoming a troublemaker.

Lin Zhongtian asked him why he didn't discipline her himself. Yun Ye sighed and asked Lin Zhongtian if he wanted to guess who spoiled this girl like this...

Since he couldn't bear to do it himself, he let Lin Zhongtian be the bad guy. This was the only thing Yun Ye could do.

As for the remaining six girls, Lin Zhongtian felt their roots and asked a few questions, and he had a general idea of ​​their personalities and talents.

Among these girls, Yiniang and Runiang are a little older, and their personalities are already fixed. Perhaps because they have lived a hard life, they are both very sensible and lovable children.

Xiaoxi and Xiaobei are lively and playful. They don't like needlework, but like to play with swords and sticks. They dress like boys all day long. Their rooms are filled with various knives, swords and guns sent by Cheng Chumo.

When they heard that their brother had a senior fellow student coming to visit and want to teach him some skills, the two of them were the most enthusiastic and excited.

Xiaodong is a money-grubber. When he came to the lobby, he was holding a jar full of copper coins, which made a jingling sound.

When she saw Lin Zhongtian, she called him "Brother Lin" sweetly, then raised the jar in her hand and asked for a gift.

Seeing this action, Lin Zhongtian was very upset. He wanted to catch Yun Ye back from the front line and ask him how he taught his sister.

As for the last one, Xiaonan, she is relatively stable in character. She just likes to eat, and she is not as active as Xiaoya. Now her little face is round and she has shown some signs of becoming a little fat girl.

After looking at the eight girls, Lin Zhongtian nodded and divided them into three levels in his mind.

Lin Zhongtian planned to improve the martial arts and internal strength of the low-level martial arts world and teach her some top-notch skills. With the addition of the low-level spiritual objects in the first layer of the storage ring, it should not be a problem to cultivate her into a peerless genius in the low-level martial arts world.

If they want to learn, unless Lin Zhongtian helps them improve their understanding, they can only learn some simple skills, such as the "Quanxin Heart Method", which has the most solid foundation and is easiest to learn with guidance.

As for the remaining four girls, they are in the third tier.

They were not strong enough and did not like to learn martial arts, so Lin Zhongtian planned to teach them some health-preserving techniques to ensure that they could live a long life. Two or three people just needed to stay away from them. Of course, this was a martial arts course, and Lin Zhongtian was also planning to teach them other things, but the old lady said that Yun Ye had already considered this, so Lin Zhongtian did not interfere.

The housekeeper brought over the textbook that Yun Ye had left behind. After Lin Zhongtian read it, he understood.

In addition to the enlightenment reading materials that were already available in this era, Yun Ye also added a number of self-compiled mathematics textbooks. It seems that he intends to use mathematics to enlighten these sisters.

The housekeeper said proudly that if the girls learn mathematics well, they will be able to manage the family finances and take control of the financial power when they marry into their husband's family in the future.

Lin Zhongtian knew that this should be what Yun Ye said at the beginning.

It’s a pity that these little guys don’t appreciate it and have no idea how important this skill is.

As soon as Yun Ye left, except for Yiniang, Runiang and Daya, the rest of the students all slacked off in their mathematics studies.

However, now that Lin Zhongtian has arrived, the morning classes that have been suspended for several months will have to be resumed.

When the eight little girls learned the results of the bone-touching test from Lin Zhongtian, some were happy while others were worried.

But no matter how unwilling the worried person was, he could only accept it dejectedly under the double pressure from Lin Zhongtian and the old grandmother.

So, on this day when there was a great victory at the front and everyone was celebrating, the young ladies and cousins ​​in the Yun family's backyard were filled with gloom and sorrow.

…

…

Three days passed quickly, and when the cocks crowed in the early morning, eight little girls were already dancing in the yard.

Lin Zhongtian moved a bamboo lounge chair and sat on the balcony on the second floor of the attic. He glanced at the eight maids below who were getting up at the sound of the cock-crow, and leisurely nibbled on the imperial fruit sent from the palace.

In just three days, he had completely subdued these eight girls.

Even the usually noisy little girl got up early to do morning exercises and seemed more active than Xiaoxi and Xiaobei.

Regarding this situation, Grandma Yun remained very calm.

She herself has a very strong filter for Yun Ye. In her eyes, her grandson is a disciple of a god and can do everything. As Yun Ye's senior brother, Lin Zhongtian should naturally treat him the same way.

However, the other female members of the Yun family who were aunts were different.

Although Lin Zhongtian only subdued eight young girls, they had gotten along with these girls after all, and knew how difficult these little things were.

Lin Zhongtian did all this lightly and without leaving any trace, which made them respect him instead. Whenever they met him in daily life, their words and actions became much more respectful.

The housekeeper who had previously been attracted to Lin Zhongtian had long since given up her love for him, and instead treated him with respect as a descendant of a god and a hermit...

Just as Lin Zhongtian was leisurely eating fruit, the housekeeper aunt climbed up to the attic and stopped behind Lin Zhongtian with a conflicted look on her face, as if she was hesitating whether to speak at this time.

Lin Zhongtian glanced at her and said something without any context.

"not see!"

The housekeeper was startled and asked subconsciously: "How do you know?"

Lin Zhongtian said without even turning his head: "Don't worry about this. Tell the people in the Duke's Mansion to take back the gifts parked outside the door!"

"I have always been aloof and I hate the ways of the world. I am willing to teach these girls because they are Xiao Ye's blood sisters and they are also the result of my hard work. As for the private relationship between Duke Lu and my junior brother, it is my junior brother's business and has nothing to do with me. There is no need for the Duke's Mansion to target me..."

"I still say that I will not accept any disciples. Among the children of the rich and powerful in Chang'an, no one is worthy of my attention."

At this point, Lin Zhongtian paused and added: "Of course, if the Wu family comes, that's another matter."

The little girl from the Wu family is still a promising talent, but in the original novel, she is Yun Ye's apprentice, and Lin Zhongtian has no intention of taking over. At most, he can protect this future apprentice for Yun Ye as soon as possible.

Hearing Lin Zhongtian's additional words, the housekeeper was stunned for a moment, but still bowed respectfully and left the attic.

When the footsteps gradually faded away, Lin Zhongtian put down the fruit and glanced at the tall courtyard wall of the Yun family.

The news of his arrival at the Yun family was strictly blocked by the old grandmother.

In the entire Chang'an, apart from Li Er who guessed his whereabouts, only Cheng Yaojin's family, who received a letter from Cheng Chumo, knew of his existence.

Perhaps because Cheng Chumo had given some instructions, Duke Lu's Mansion did not come to visit immediately. It was only yesterday afternoon that the old lady of the Cheng family sent servants to deliver the fruits rewarded by the palace.

After the old lady received it, she only kept a little and sent the rest to Lin Zhongtian.

When Lin Zhongtian saw these imperial fruits, he knew something was wrong. Sure enough, Duke Lu’s Mansion had sent another big gift today.

Given the friendship between the Cheng family and the Yun family, there was no need for such courtesy. The Duke's Mansion prepared such a big gift, and it was obvious that it was for him.
