Parents are busy farming

The housekeeper went out to investigate, and it was not a good idea for all the people to just sit in the hall, so Zhang Gaoyi told everyone to disperse and go home.

Zhang Wangshi and Bai Xiangyang were now filled with worry about their daughter-in-law and grandson, and were unwilling to leave. Seeing this, Zhang Gaoyi was in no mood to care about them, so he stood up and prepared to leave.

When Zhang Wang saw Zhang Gaoyi was about to leave, she subconsciously reached out to grab him, but was stopped by Old Man Zhang standing beside her.

"Stop making trouble, let Gao Yi rest for a while. You know how busy he is right now, can't you just feel sorry for the child?"

Zhang Wangshi immediately retorted when she heard this, "He doesn't recognize me, but that's not something he can just say. I'm just going to stay here and see what he can do to me."

Old man Zhang frowned and looked at her helplessly, "What can we do? Don't you think that your daughter-in-law and grandson are still in their hands? If you don't leave, Gao Yi can just leave them alone."

After hearing these words, Zhang Wang finally realized the seriousness of the matter. She widened her eyes and looked at Old Man Zhang with horror.

Bai Xiangyang was also frustrated at this time. He looked at Zhang Wang and said anxiously, "Mom, what should we do? My wife and son must be rescued!"

Then he reacted, showing a flattering smile on his face and said: "Mom? Why don't you just come back with us? Didn't Brother Gao Yi give us money? Anyway, life will be better. It doesn't matter where you are. At most, we can buy some more girls to serve you!"

For some reason, Zhang Wang suddenly felt that she was just a tool for Bai Xiangyang to live a good life. Was this how Zhang Gaoyi felt about her?

She didn't know where this feeling came from. She stared blankly at her eldest son, then looked at Old Man Zhang who had a disappointed face. Suddenly, she felt that this trip to Beijing was so meaningless.

When she thought about the marriage between Zhang Gaoyi and the girl from the Ye family, she felt it was even more boring. She would never live under that girl's control.

So she nodded and said, "Okay, go back home, and buy back the land and house you sold. You can live a peaceful life from now on!"

Bai Xiangyang wanted to say that he wanted to live with them, but when he thought of Zhang Gaowu in the Zhang family, he shut up.

Although Zhang Wangshi felt a little disappointed, she also understood that this was the best choice.

She knew that she was just being used by Bai Xiangyang, and that returning to her hometown, living their own lives and not seeing each other often might help her regain her dignity and peace.

Old man Zhang just looked at the two of them and didn't say anything extra.

The next morning, the sun shone through the clouds onto the earth, illuminating the streets and alleys of the capital.

Zhang Gaoyi got up early as usual, washed, put on court clothes, and went to the palace to attend the morning court.

After the morning court session ended, Zhang Gaoyi came to the gate of the emperor's palace and waited for Ye Zifen's arrival.

They agreed to go together to thank the emperor and discuss some important matters concerning the marriage.

Today Ye Zifen needs to discuss the matter of opening a college with the old man of the Song family.

Ever since the old man of the Song family determined the target, he has been more anxious than anyone else and has frequently urged Ye Zifen to contact Wang Chuanren.

However, Ye Zifen knew very well that Wang Chuanren was fully devoted to the imperial examination at the moment and it was inconvenient to disturb him, so she asked Old Master Song about the questions that Wang Chuanren did not understand.

Nowadays, even Wang Chuanshan often discusses academic matters with Old Master Song.

This made Old Master Hong jealous, and he complained that Old Master Song had turned a disaster into a blessing by snatching his grandson away.

Several other grandchildren wrote letters or came in person, trying to make their presence felt.

Even Wang Chuanxing wrote back from the north to greet Old Master Hong.

Finally, Old Master Hong was coaxed into submission. When Ye Zifen went to pay her respects, Old Madam Hong told her directly.

Complaining that Old Master Hong acts more like a child as he gets older.

At this time, Ye Zifen saw from afar Zhang Gaoyi, dressed in court robes and with an upright posture, standing there waiting for her. She hurriedly quickened her pace and walked over quickly.

At this moment, when Zhang Gaoyi saw Ye Zifen coming, the smile on his face became even more intense, and even the eunuch next to him was surprised.

This general, who usually has a solemn face, finally showed some warmth today.

Today, Ye Zifen was wearing a dress specially made for the princess. Although the dress was a bit solemn, her fox-like eyes made her look not too serious, but more lively.

Until Ye Zifen walked in front of Zhang Gaoyi, Zhang Gaoyi was still immersed in his own thoughts and was stunned.

Ye Zifen smiled slightly and asked softly, "What are you thinking about? Is the emperor free to meet with others now?"

The eunuch quickly replied, "The Emperor is meeting with several ministers to discuss court affairs. He has instructed me to take you directly to the side hall when you arrive."

Zhang Gaoyi deliberately glanced at the eunuch who was trying to curry favor with Ye Zifen, and then walked into the side hall with Ye Zifen.

After the tea was served, she and Ye Zifen were the only ones left in the side hall.

Zhang Gaoyi looked at Ye Zifen and gave a bitter smile, saying, "My mother and her family are going back to their hometown soon. We may not have so many relatives around when we get married."

Ye Zifen smiled slightly and said softly, "We don't care about these. Besides, isn't this what we planned? What? Do you feel wronged?"

As soon as she finished her words, she heard footsteps, and then the emperor walked in.

The emperor smiled and said jokingly, "How can I have no relatives? Am I not a relative of Fuxia? As for the general being the son-in-law, it doesn't matter whether he has relatives or not. Anyway, the general doesn't have any relatives!"

Ye Zifen and Zhang Gaoyi hurriedly knelt down and saluted the emperor, shouting "Long live the emperor".

After expressing their gratitude, the two slowly stood up at the emperor's signal.

The emperor asked, "Have all your family members left?"

Zhang Gaoyi remained silent. Ye Zifen replied, "We both believe in the emperor, but we don't know what the future will be like. We don't want those relatives to face any danger because of us."

The emperor waved his hand and consoled them, "Don't think too much. I understand your concerns, but I won't allow this to happen. I agree with your approach, but I never expected that the general's family would leave."

Zhang Gaoyi lowered his head and said, "I haven't left yet, but I have agreed to leave."

There was a hint of helplessness and bitterness in his voice.

The emperor nodded and said, "Well, this is also a way to protect yourself. However, the Imperial Observatory has already calculated the date for the wedding. Let the Ministry of Rites arrange your marriage!"
