Parents are busy farming

Ye Zifen understood that in such occasions, the elders would often give gifts to the younger generations.

Therefore, she did not refuse the kindness, but bowed to express her gratitude and then accepted the jade lotus hairpin.

Then the woman sent her back to Mrs. Hong.

Madam Hong nodded slightly, then sat down and said with a satisfied smile on her face: "This girl is really well behaved, generous and elegant, much better than the maids in my family."

Madam Hong continued, "When this child was young, he had the opportunity to learn etiquette from a maid from the palace. After learning, he has always maintained such a dignified and polite demeanor. This is one of the reasons why I like this child."

The Lady of the Earl of Chang'an smiled and complimented, "You are indeed a man of insight, old lady! Such an excellent child is indeed lovable."

After hearing this, Ye Zifen lowered her head shyly, as if she was a little embarrassed.

Afterwards, each lady who arrived followed the same procedure for greetings, some chose to stay and chat with Mrs. Hong, while others were invited to the courtyard by Mrs. Hong Da or Mrs. Hong Er.

As for the girls, they naturally formed small groups to go to the garden for fun.

Only Ye Zifen always stayed by Mrs. Hong's side and never left her.

In fact, Ye Zifen knew clearly that the compliments from those ladies just now were just polite words and could not be fully believed.

She knew that people often said one thing but meant another.

Therefore, she did not take these compliments to heart, but remained calm and rational.

It was true. All the girls and ladies in the garden started talking about Ye Zifen.

Girl A: "Have you seen the girl next to the old lady of the Hong family? She looks like a fox, and I don't know who she is trying to seduce!"

Girl B: "Don't talk nonsense. What's the point of hooking up? People like us can only say such things. It's beneath our status. But I don't know what status this person has. He even follows the maids in the palace to learn etiquette. I have never heard of such a person in the capital."

Girl C: "Mrs. Hong said that she watched her grow up. Isn't she from the county? A wild chicken wants to be a phoenix. She doesn't even look at her own background. She still knows her own weight. If she didn't come with me, I would be annoyed!"

Girl A: "What's wrong with the Hong family? Even if there are no girls in the family, they can't just find a girl and treat her as a treasure! That's too..."

Before she could finish her words, she saw Mrs. Hong coming over with a girl, so she quickly stopped talking and bowed to Mrs. Hong with the other girls.

Everyone knew the new girl, she was from Mrs. Hong's family.

Everyone stood up and saluted Mrs. Hong. Mrs. Hong responded with a smile and motioned for everyone to sit down.

At this time, a young woman asked Mrs. Hong curiously: "Madam, the girl next to the old lady is so beautiful, I wonder where she came from?"

Mrs. Hong understood what these girls were thinking. They were simply jealous of Ye Zifen's beauty and wanted to take this opportunity to compete with each other.

However, Mrs. Hong was well aware of these people's tricks and just smiled, not caring.

Another woman agreed, "Yes, Madam, that girl looks elegant and unique. She is really enviable."

Mrs. Hong smiled and said, "Don't underestimate Miss Ye. She is an honored guest of our Hong family. Everyone in the family likes her. Not only is she beautiful, but she is also talented. She is simply perfect. She even saved the life of my naughty eldest son!"

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but show surprised expressions and started talking about it.

Mrs. Hong looked at the reactions of the crowd and laughed in her heart. These people always think highly of themselves on a daily basis, but just now they looked competitive and looked down on others.

Now I become so curious and surprised after listening to my own words.

Mrs. Hong continued, "Miss Ye is not only beautiful and kind, but also smart and clever. She is loved by the old lady. Even the old master praises her highly."

He looked at his sister and said, "You should learn more from her and stop just trying to compare yourself with her. Her talent is second only to mine."

Before she got married, Mrs. Hong was a famous talented woman in the capital!

The girls went from comparing to being curious, and the ladies were also talking about Ye Zifen.

Madam A: "That girl is so pretty. Do you think Madam Hong is going to arrange a marriage for that girl? Otherwise, why would she have to stand by her side?"

Madam B: "It's possible. This girl looks old enough to get married, but her family background doesn't seem to be very high. Madam Hong is choosing from a family like ours... I guess even a bastard wouldn't look down on her!"

Madam C: "Maybe someone who values ​​appearance will take a liking to her! Who knows."

Madam A: "It's because she's so good-looking that people like us wouldn't choose her. If a child marries her, he'll be worshipped as an ancestor! We're all elders, so who would be willing to do that?"

Madam C: "I'm afraid that if she gets married, the children at home will focus on love affairs and forget about the real things!"

After everyone was silent for a while, Madam Ding said, "That's true, but I think it depends on the person. If the girl has a good personality and is well-educated, then we can consider it."

Madam A: "I think you want to establish a relationship with the Hong family! Don't forget that this is a distant relative after all. You might as well think about the young master of the Hong family who has just made a contribution instead of thinking about her!"

Madam B: "That's right, her family background is indeed not very good. Among the sons of our big families, which one doesn't marry a woman of equal status?"

Madam Ding: "That's true, but I think since Madam Hong thinks so highly of her, maybe she has some outstanding qualities?"

Madam A: "You are not really attracted to that girl! There is no suitable boy in your family!"

Mrs. Ding: "My family doesn't have it, but my mother's family does!"

Her family is now in decline, and others finally understand what she is thinking.

Ye Zifen didn't know what they were thinking, because at this time someone Ye Zifen knew came. That person was none other than Su Jincheng's wife, and she came with the wife of the Minister of Rites.

She was also very surprised when she saw Ye Zifen standing next to Mrs. Hong.

But after being surprised, I still thought about saying hello to her.

"Why is Fifth Sister here? When did you come to the capital? Why didn't you send someone to tell us?"
