Parents are busy farming

Ye Zifen sat in the carriage and left the Hong family with mixed feelings.

However, she did not go back directly to Fu Ke Lai, but asked the coachman to take her to buy some snacks and other common items, and then took these things to where Madam Su was.

The reason why she was so anxious was that she knew very well that Madam Su would not leave the Shangshu Mansion easily today and would most likely talk to the Shangshu's wife about things related to her.

This discussion will definitely not be over in a short time, and she probably won't go back to the rented yard today.

At this moment, she really didn't want to face Mrs. Su. The feeling of being regarded as an imaginary enemy made her feel uncomfortable.

After all, this was an internal problem of the Su family, but they blamed her, so she chose to hide temporarily.

Alas! Perhaps the chances of meeting each other will decrease in the future!

When Ye Zifen arrived at the yard that Mrs. Su mentioned, she was surprised to find that the rented house was not big, with only two rooms.

However, considering that the Su family is small, with only three masters in total, such a courtyard is enough for living.

I just wonder if Mrs. Su doesn’t live here because her house is too small?

Ye Zifen's driver went up and knocked on the door, and soon someone came to inquire.

When she lifted the car curtain, the old man recognized Ye Zifen in the car at a glance.

At this time, the old man was standing at the door with a look of surprise on his face: "It's the Fifth Miss! I didn't expect you to come to visit today, please come in quickly."

Having said this, he hurried forward and drove the carriage into the yard with the coachman.

At this time, a clear male voice came from the room, asking: "Who's here?"

As soon as Ye Zifen heard it, she knew it was Su Jincheng's voice.

Then, she heard someone answer: "It's Miss Five."

When Ye Zifen got out of the car, she saw Su Jincheng walking towards her quickly.

He asked anxiously, "Why did you suddenly come to the capital? Have you visited your family before returning from the sea?"

Ye Zifen smiled and replied, "I went back home a few days ago and saw the house you left for me. Why did you leave the house behind before you left Beijing? You might as well sell it to get some money. By the way, how is godmother? How is her health on the way to Beijing? Did she suffer from the bumpy ride?"

When Su Jincheng heard Ye Zifen's words, he couldn't help but feel a warm feeling in his heart.

He looked at Ye Zifen gratefully and said, "Mom, everything is fine. When we left the capital, we thought you might come back in the future, so we left the house. As for selling the house for travel expenses, we didn't think of that at the time. Besides, we still have the money. Although I'm not a corrupt official, the remaining money in the family is also in the process of making money. We are still well-off."

Ye Zifen nodded to show her understanding.

She then asked, "How long do you plan to stay in Beijing this time?"

Su Jincheng thought for a moment and replied, "It has not been confirmed yet, but it shouldn't be too long. According to my Lord Taishan, these people will be assigned official positions after the palace examination results come out. Since I don't want to stay in the capital, there has been no news, but they will most likely go to the southern coast."

Hearing this, Ye Zifen couldn't help but fall into deep thought, thinking to herself: "It seems that there are still smart people in the south who can perceive the difference in the situation. This Minister of Personnel is one of them. I guess he is waiting for the situation in the south to be settled before arranging Su Jincheng there."

Once the affairs in the south are dealt with, there will inevitably be chaos in the officialdom. However, with Su Jincheng's current achievements and the prestige of the Minister of Personnel, it should not be difficult to deal with the aftermath in the south.

In this way, the official position that Su Jincheng will be assigned to this time will definitely not be too low.

The fact that this Minister of Personnel was able to ascend to the position of Minister shows that he indeed possesses extraordinary strategy and foresight.

Ye Zifen nodded slightly, then suddenly seemed to remember something and asked, "By the way, where is godmother? How is her health on the way to Beijing? Did she suffer from the bumpy ride?"

Su Jincheng replied: "Mom is behind! I didn't expect you to come. Come on, I'll take you to see Mom."

Having said that, he took Ye Zifen to the second floor.

On the way, Ye Zifen explained to Su Jincheng: "I went to the Hong family today and happened to catch the Hong family holding a banquet. I met Mrs. Su and heard that you were still in the capital, so I came to see you."

After hearing this, Su Jincheng secretly felt lucky that Ye Zifen arrived in time, otherwise they might have missed it.

He smiled and said, "What a coincidence. But how did you know we lived here?"

Ye Zifen smiled slightly and explained, "Of course, it was Madam Su who told me."

The two chatted as they walked and soon arrived at the house.

Su Jincheng pushed open the door and saw his mother sitting on a chair to rest, with a maid massaging Madam Su's shoulders.

He shouted happily: "Mom, look who's here?"

Mother Ye looked up and saw Ye Zifen coming in, a surprised smile appeared on her face.

She waved her hand and said, "Zifen, you're here! Come and sit down."

Ye Zifen walked over to Ye's mother, held her hand tightly, and asked with concern: "Godmother, are you in good health? You must have had a hard time on the way to Beijing?"

Mother Ye smiled and shook her head, saying, "I'm fine. I didn't suffer much along the way. Besides, Shangguan Daifu has taken good care of my body. I feel better than before. I'm sorry to have worried you."

Ye Zifen asked Su Jincheng: "If you want to go to the south, do you want to take your godmother with you?"

Su Jincheng nodded, "That's what I think."

Ye Zifen frowned and advised, "I think we should let Godmother stay in the capital! You know that things are not stable everywhere in Daxia right now. After all, the capital is under the emperor's feet and is the safest place. Besides, you will be busy for a while after you take office. If Godmother goes there, you will be distracted. It is better to wait until everything is settled there and the situation in various parts of Daxia is better before sending someone to pick her up."

After hearing this, Su Jincheng realized that he seemed to have not considered his mother's affairs well enough.

He originally just wanted to take his mother south with him so that he could take care of her, but he did not consider the safety of the journey and the busy schedule after taking office.

Su Jincheng nodded, indicating that he agreed with Ye Zifen's suggestion.

Ye Zifen added, "If you feel uncomfortable living in a rented house, you can live in my house. I also have a courtyard in Beijing. Although the house is not big, it is my own house and I can live in it as I like. I am not in Beijing often, so the house is empty anyway."

Su Jincheng looked at Ye Zifen gratefully, "Zifen, you are always so thoughtful."

Ye Zifen shook her head and didn't think it was a big deal. It was just what she was thinking.
