Parents are busy farming

Ye Ziwei felt a little resentful, but she didn't dare to say it out loud.

It was not until after noon that people from the Hong family came looking for them.

The visitors were Hong Yucong, the eldest son of the Hong family, the old housekeeper, and Hong Yujie's two personal servants.

They asked along the way and finally found Hong Yujie's location.

From a distance, they saw the little bully Hong Yujie walking beside a carriage like a young wife.

After a few people caught up with him, Hong Yujie saw his eldest brother at a glance and his head shrank subconsciously.

He secretly complained in his heart. He didn't expect that his family would send people to arrest him just a few days after he escaped.

What's more, the person sent was actually his eldest cousin whom he feared the most, which made him feel very helpless.

Hong Yujie knew that although his eldest cousin looked gentle, he was actually the strictest person in the family.

He worked in the Hanlin Academy, and usually set high standards for himself. He also always hoped that the children in his family could achieve something.

Therefore, he would naturally not let Hong Yujie's mischievous and unambitious behavior go easily.

Hong Yujie could imagine that if he was caught by his eldest cousin and taken home, he would be severely punished.

He couldn't help but sigh, secretly regretting that he shouldn't have been so impulsive and ran away from home.

But now that things have come to this, he can't do anything to reverse the situation and can only face the punishment that follows.

Hong Yujie looked up at Hong Yucong with some fear, then called out in a low voice: "Brother?"

The other party just responded faintly to indicate that he heard it.

Hong Yujie quickly pointed at Ye Ziwei and introduced her to him with a smile: "Brother, this is Zifen's sixth sister Ziwei. She was still very young when she was in the county. I guess you can't recognize her now! Hahaha!"

Hong Yucong turned his head and looked at the girl standing behind Hong Yujie.

The little girl had a calm face, neither shy nor indifferent.

When she noticed Hong Yucong's gaze, she nodded gently and called softly, "Cousin!"

Ye Zifen just called Hong Yucong "cousin", and it would definitely be right for Ye Ziwei to follow suit.

Ever since Hong Yucong passed the imperial examination and entered the Hanlin Academy, Old Master Hong, as well as Master Hong Da and Master Hong Er, have begun to tell him about the situation in the court and family affairs.

Therefore, he naturally knew what Ye Zifen had done.

At this moment, when he saw this caravan, he couldn't help but look at it carefully, which was considered to have broadened his horizons.

Then he asked Ye Ziwei directly: "Where are you going? Are you going to the border?"

Ye Ziwei had never expected that Hong Yucong would be so perceptive and guess their destination at once.

She knew very well that she could not hide it from a shrewd man like Hong Yucong, and he was a member of the Hong family, so she nodded frankly.

Hong Yujie next to them opened his mouth wide, his eyes wide open, looking at Ye Ziwei and Hong Yucong in disbelief.

What Ye Ziwei meant by "having a similar journey for a while" turned out to be the same destination.

But why didn't she say it! Hong Yujie thought angrily.

However, when he saw Ye Ziwei's calm face, he became even more angry.

What on earth did this woman mean? Was she deliberately trying to make him look bad?

Thinking of this, Hong Yujie couldn't help but clench his fists and stared at Ye Ziwei with gritted teeth.

However, he soon realized that this was not a solution, after all, there were still many things that needed to be resolved.

So he took a deep breath, moved his eyes away from Ye Ziwei, and turned to look at his eldest cousin.

As if he had thought of something, he asked Ye Ziwei, "Did you know that my family would come to see me?"

Seeing that Hong Yujie finally reacted, Ye Ziwei couldn't help but smile, but soon returned to a serious expression and said, "You finally reacted? I'm so mad at your brainlessness. Okay, now that your cousin is here, you should go back with him! We still have to hurry!"

Of course, she said this to both Hong Yujie and Hong Yucong.

She tried her best to sound less disgusted, but Hong Yucong still heard it.

He turned to look at his cousin and began to feel confused.

Why do children who are so smart when they are young become so stupid when they grow up?

At this moment, Hong Yucong suddenly made a decision.

He decided not to hesitate any longer and asked Hong Yujie directly whether he really wanted to go to the frontier to make achievements.

So, before Hong Yujie had time to speak, Hong Yucong asked, "Yujie, do you really want to go to the frontier to make achievements?"

When Hong Yujie heard this, he was stunned. He thought he had heard it wrong and looked at his cousin Hong Yucong with confusion.

Hong Yucong had no choice but to repeat what he had just said.

However, before he could finish his words, Hong Yujie excitedly nodded repeatedly to show his agreement.

Hong Yujie said seriously, "Of course! How can I stay at home doing nothing? Besides, our Hong family is all about the literati. Even if I work harder, I can only pass the exam and become a juren at best. I can never enter the officialdom. As for the Imperial Guards... that's even more impossible. My uncle and the others will definitely not let me go."

In fact, Hong Yujie knew very well that if he joined the Imperial Guard, he would not only fail to gain the emperor's recognition and trust, but would also arouse the emperor's suspicion of the Hong family, thinking that the Hong family was trying to spy on palace secrets.

In this way, the situation of the Hong family will become very embarrassing.

Therefore, Hong Yujie understood that his only way out was to rely on his own strength and climb up step by step.

Hong Yucong looked at Ye Ziwei firmly, his eyes full of sincerity, and he said seriously: "Sixth sister, I want to ask you a favor."

Ye Ziwei frowned slightly. She didn't have a good impression of the Hong brothers, especially Hong Yujie, so she subconsciously wanted to refuse.

But before he could finish his words, Hong Yucong continued, "Please allow Yujie to go to the military camp with you. With you accompanying him, I believe he will be able to arrive safely. However, he will have to make his own way in the future."

Ye Ziwei sighed inwardly, these Hong brothers are really shameless!

Yesterday he moved slowly with the caravan, which not only affected the progress of the entire team, but also caused great suffering to other team members.

At this moment, Hong Yucong actually had the nerve to make such a request, which really made people laugh and cry.

It seemed that they thought she was as easy to talk to as her sister. Unfortunately, she thought she didn't have as much brains as her sister, so she didn't dare to accept this trouble, just like a rabbit didn't dare to accept food handed by a tiger.
