Parents are busy farming

Old Madam Hong smiled and asked again, "Did you gain anything else from returning to Lujia Village this time?"

When Ye Zifen heard Old Lady Hong ask this, she stopped trying to get information and asked with a smile, "What do you think of Ziwei?"

Old Madam Hong laughed even more happily, and instead of talking about Ye Ziwei, she mentioned Hong Yujie.

"Yujie is the youngest of his generation, so your grandfather and I are biased towards him. But even so, he has a good character. He just doesn't have much talent for studying. Fortunately, he has found a way out for himself now, so I am relieved."

Ye Zifen said: "The future of my little cousin is foreseeable, you and grandpa can rest assured."

Madam Hong nodded, "As for Ziwei, I thought she was very quiet when she was little, and I know she has been following you all these years. I also asked your aunt about her. The most important thing is that Yujie cares about Ziwei, and I think it's a good idea to bring these two children together."

This is her attitude, and also the attitude of the Hong family. Ye Zifen felt relieved after hearing this.

He smiled and said, “Ziwei nodded.”

The smile on Mrs. Hong's face deepened. "That's good, that's good!"

When there is happy event in the family, you will naturally be happy.

Ye Zifen felt relieved when she saw how happy Madam Hong was. As long as Madam Hong was satisfied, it would be fine. After all, Ziwei would marry into the Hong family in the future. If Madam Hong didn't like her, Ziwei would definitely have a hard time in the future.

Madam Hong said with a relaxed look, "Ziwei nodded. Some people may be disappointed, but this is the best result for our Hong family. We will no longer be fat pieces of meat in the eyes of others. There are many people here today, so it's a good time to spread this news."

Ye Zifen nodded in agreement and continued, "Ziwei is still in mourning, so I think we can make her and Yujie's marriage public first, but the specific wedding date can be decided when the environment is better."

Mrs. Hong agreed after hearing this, and then added: "Not only Ziwei, but even Yujie himself doesn't know where he will go in the future, so this matter will have to wait."

At this time, Ye Zifen was already dressed up.

Although she was still wearing simple clothes, she was naturally beautiful and even without makeup, she was still the most outstanding person standing in the crowd.

Madam Hong nodded with satisfaction, and then said to Ye Zifen, "Just stay with me today, and ignore the others. This way, others will not dare to look down on you."

The main reason is that she is too dazzling. I guess the young girls don’t want to be with her. No one wants to be outdone.

Ye Zifen smiled slightly, showing her understanding: "Okay. Actually, I don't care how those people view me. After all, I won't appear in front of them often in the future. Why should I become the topic of their conversation?"

Madam Hong sighed helplessly and said with emotion: "Some things are often beyond our control..."

Ye Zifen looked at Madam Hong with some confusion, not knowing why she suddenly said that, and not knowing whether she knew something that she didn't know, but she still nodded obediently.

After a while, Ye Zifen couldn't help but ask, "Cousin Chuanxing took part in the imperial examination while I was away. Although the results haven't been announced yet, I think he has told my grandfather about what happened in the examination room. What does my grandfather think about this?"

This incident had been lingering in Ye Zifen's mind and she could never forget it. Now that there was no one around, she took the opportunity to ask about it.

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Hong's smile became even brighter.

He replied briskly, "Your grandfather thinks that Chuan Xing has no hope of getting the first place in this imperial examination, but getting a place in the top few places in the second place should not be a problem."

Hearing this, Ye Zifen's mood instantly became cheerful, and the smile on her face became brighter and brighter.

"That's great! After years of hard work and training, Cousin Chuanxing has finally reaped the rewards. I am sincerely happy for him. So it's time to arrange his marriage, right? After all, this is a major event in life."

Madam Hong smiled and nodded, her eyes full of relief, "Indeed. Today, I can take this opportunity to pay attention to the girls present and see if there are any suitable candidates. If there are, I will send someone to inquire about the other party's family situation after the results are announced."

Ye Zifen couldn't help but sigh: "You are really thoughtful!"

Time flies, and everyone grows up day by day without realizing it. Those beautiful childhood memories can only be buried deep in the memory.

Seeing the sisters around her getting married one by one, Ye Zifen couldn't help but feel an inexplicable sense of loneliness in her heart, as if she had been abandoned in a corner of the world.

However, despite such feelings in her heart, her calm and rational mind always told her clearly how to move forward in life.

After the grandparents and grandchildren chatted for a while, Mrs. Hong led everyone towards Mrs. Hong's residence.

Seeing this, Ye Zifen quickly stood up and stood obediently to the right of Mrs. Hong.

Old Madam Hong gently straightened Ye Zifen's sleeves, and this scene happened to be seen by the ladies who had just entered the room.

They secretly wondered in their hearts, who was the lucky person who could be so favored by Old Madam Hong?

On the surface, everyone still greeted Mrs. Hong with a smile and chatted with her happily.

Madam Hong pointed at one of the ladies and introduced her to Ye Zifen, "This is the wife of the Earl of Chang'an. She is very close to your aunt. Go and pay your respects!"

Ye Zifen went forward and greeted her as she was told. The lady quickly helped her up, her eyes full of love and concern.

Madam Hong said at the right time: "This is the child I have watched grow up. She is my maid's niece, but I raise her as my own daughter. This child is also my granddaughter."

When the other party heard this, he thought that the relationship did not seem close, but then he remembered that the Hong family had always longed for a daughter, and now that they had such a lovely girl, they would naturally cherish her especially.

So I started to think more highly of Ye Zifen.

However, they found that Ye Zifen's clothes were very simple, with only two pieces of accessories that were decent.

This confused them because normally, children from a wealthy family like the Hongs should be dressed in fancy clothes.

Although they had some doubts in their hearts, they politely took off the jade lotus hairpins on their heads and handed them to Ye Zifen.

And praised: "This child is really good-looking. I don't have anything particularly precious to give you, but this hairpin is very suitable for you. Please accept it."
