Parents are busy farming

Finally, Ye Zifen brought the female guest to a study.

The study is filled with books, pens, ink, paper and inkstone, exuding a strong scent of paper and ink.

The female guest was deeply attracted and couldn't help picking up a book to read, but unfortunately she didn't recognize the words on the book.

Ye Zifen said with a smile: "This is one of my favorite places. I come here often."

At this time, Aunt Qi sent someone to find Ye Zifen, saying that she wanted her to go over and take a look at the calligraphy and paintings prepared for Ye Ziwei and verify them carefully.

At the same time, Ye Yongwang, Wang Tingfeng and others were also invited to ensure that there were no counterfeits.

Ye Zifen could just take these guests to have a look.

Exquisite calligraphy and paintings slowly unfolded in the living room of Ye Ziwei's courtyard, and Ye Zifen led the guests into the room.

After greeting each other, everyone began to appreciate the paintings one by one.

Some of them were collected by Ye Zifen from all over the place, while the other part were Ye Yongwang's favorites. Although they were not expensive, they contained his thoughts.

In addition, there are two extremely precious paintings that came from Wang Tinghe's dowry.

Of course, Ye Zifang, Ye Zifei and Ye Zixuan also came here, and among them was a painting that Ye Zixuan had carefully collected in Fengxian County.

While admiring these calligraphy and paintings, Ye Zifen introduced to the guests in detail the content of each painting and the background behind its creation.

The guests couldn't help but marvel and praised the calligraphy and paintings highly.

Ye Zifen thought: "This is also a way to let the other party understand their Daxia culture."

While looking at the paintings, the guest suddenly asked, "Ye, why aren't your paintings in there?"

Ye Zifen smiled and explained, "Because my calligraphy and paintings are not very valuable now, and I am not famous! These calligraphy and paintings here can appreciate in value. The longer they are, the more valuable they are."

The other party was very surprised and said, "So that's the case. Then can you give me some of your own calligraphy and paintings? I will collect them and sell them in Daxia in a few years. I will definitely make a lot of money."

Her words attracted the attention of the people around her, and everyone looked at the two of them.

One dared to speak, and the other was shocked by the other's trust. The other party was too direct and had more confidence than her.

Ye Zifen said: "Should I hurry up and write a few words and keep them for myself?"

The people around laughed when they heard her words.

After the guests left, the people in Princess Fuxia's mansion began to rest, and then they became even busier.

Recently, the news that Princess Fuxia's sister, the county lady, and the young master of the Hong family got married spread throughout the streets and alleys of the capital, and people were talking about it with great relish.

The current emperor questioned the Hong family and the county lady herself at the banquet to welcome foreign envoys, confirmed the marriage, and rewarded them with many precious items.

Naturally, this grand wedding became the focus of attention of the whole city.

Today, the Hong family’s betrothal gifts were delivered to Princess Fuxia’s Mansion.

These betrothal gifts include various treasures, gold and silver jewelry, etc. The quantity is astonishing.

Such a generous betrothal gift not only showed the Hong family's respect and love for the county lady, but also attracted people from the capital to come and watch the excitement.

For a time, the front of Princess Fuxia's mansion was crowded with people and very lively.

However, some people are dissatisfied with this situation.

Especially the major families in the capital, they expressed jealousy towards the Hong family's actions.

One of them said sourly: "When we got married a few years ago, who dared to be so ostentatious? Who considered it again and again? Why did his family send so much betrothal gifts today? There is someone in his Hong family who doesn't care about not being a servant and is not afraid of gossip from others."

Another person echoed, "Yes, even the emperor has joined in the fun and given gifts. Didn't he say that he wanted to rest and recuperate? Even if the Hong family wants to give less gifts, they should consider the emperor's thoughts."

Someone quickly said, "Humph! Let's just look at the county lady's dowry! Go back and give our daughter something in private! Otherwise, it will affect the relationship between mother and daughter!"

However, although some people are dissatisfied with this, more people are just watching the fun.

After all, this marriage involved an alliance between the royal family and the nobility, and the political significance behind it cannot be underestimated.

The Hong family's actions undoubtedly demonstrated their strength and status to the outside world, attracting the attention of many people.

Finally, everyone dispersed and went home to prepare for the wedding.

And those aristocratic families began to think about how to increase the dowry for their daughters so as not to be outdone by the Hong family.

At the same time, they were also discussing the story behind the wedding in private, trying to find some opportunities to exploit.

No matter what outsiders say about the Princess Fuxia's Mansion, when they see the mountain of dazzling betrothal gifts, everyone in the Ye family and the Wang family is delighted.

They all praised: "The Hong family is really generous!"

"Yes, this betrothal gift is not only large in quantity, but also of high quality. It is really rare to see!"

Obviously, everyone was very satisfied with the betrothal gift from the Hong family, believing that it fully reflected the Hong family's sincerity and intentions.

The elders in the princess's mansion were full of praise for the Hong family's performance, saying that this marriage would bring more benefits and glory to both families.

Of course, in addition to material considerations, the relationship between Ziwei and Yujie is also very deep.

They love each other and support each other, and this love has become the common expectation of the two families.

As the county lord's family, the Ye family was not to be outdone and prepared an even more generous dowry.

These dowries include not only precious jewelry, silks and satins, but also farms, shops and other properties.

At this time, Ye Zifen couldn't help but ask Ye Yongwang: "Dad, should we help Ziwei take all these betrothal gifts back?"

Ye Yongwang answered without hesitation: "Of course, these are all the kindness of the Hong family to Ziwei, and we cannot let them down. In this case, we must let the Hong family see our Ye family's intentions."

After hearing this, Ye Zifen nodded in agreement.

She then waved her hand and said, "Okay, then take all of Ziwei's betrothal gifts back to the Ye family and put them and the book into Ziwei's dowry. Then, send someone to the government office to open a file and record all of this."

So, the matter was settled, and everything seemed so harmonious and beautiful.

The Princess Fuxia's mansion was decorated with lights and colorful lanterns everywhere, creating an atmosphere of joy and bustle.

Today is the county princess' wedding day, and the entire mansion is filled with a joyful atmosphere.

The county princess was wearing a gorgeous phoenix coronet and bridal robe, sitting dignifiedly in front of the dressing table, looking beautiful and charming.

Her face was filled with a happy smile and her eyes were shining with joy.

The maids beside her were busy dressing up the county princess, carefully combing her hair and applying meticulous makeup to ensure that she could show her most charming demeanor when she got married.

Outside the county lady's room, Ye Zifen stood silently, her eyes revealing deep reluctance and endless blessings.

She looked at everything in the room quietly, with complicated emotions surging in her heart.

When the county princess finished dressing up and slowly walked out of the room, she immediately saw her sister standing outside the door.

Ye Zifen wanted to reach out and touch her sister's hair, but hesitated because she was worried that she would mess up her sister's carefully styled hairstyle.

A glimmer of tears flashed in Ye Ziwei's eyes, but was quickly replaced by a happy smile.

She whispered to Ye Zifen, "Sister, thank you for sending me off."

Ye Zifen walked forward and held the county lady's hand tightly, her eyes full of sincere emotion.

She whispered, "Sixth sister, I wish you happiness forever."

Ye Ziwei nodded slightly, tears of emotion flashing in her eyes, and she said, "Fifth sister, you have to take good care of yourself too."
