Parents are busy farming
Chapter 1592 Something is going to happen
Old Master Hong said with a smile: "Don't blame me, don't blame me at all, just go and eat quickly, and sit down and rest while you are at it, and let the maids be busy."
After saying that, he waved his hand gently, motioning everyone to sit down first so they could eat later.
Then, everyone started talking about trivial matters in their daily lives as usual, and the atmosphere was relaxed and harmonious.
However, at this moment, everyone was thinking about the return of Master Hong, Master Hong and Zhang Gaoyi, waiting for them to come back for dinner.
But time passed, and when the maid came for the second time to ask if they wanted to eat, the three people still hadn't returned.
Ye Zifen, who had been silent all the time, suddenly felt a strange feeling in her heart.
She frowned, thought for a moment and then said, "Grandfather, I think something is wrong. Why don't we close the gate of the Hong Mansion just in case?"
Old Master Hong's originally kind face suddenly became serious, and his deep eyes stared at Ye Zifen, as if he could see through everything.
After a brief silence, he stood up suddenly and shouted, "Someone come!"
The voice was loud and commanding.
Soon, the burly butler hurried over and stood respectfully in front of Old Master Hong.
Old Master Hong looked solemn and gave orders in a firm tone: "Pass my order, close the gate of the Hong family immediately. Let all the guards come out and strengthen the patrol and defense of every corner of the Hong Mansion to ensure the safety of the Hong Mansion. If the eldest and second masters come back, open the door quickly to let them in, and don't neglect the general of the Tiger Army. But except for them, no one else is allowed to enter the Hong Mansion at will. Anyone who violates the rules will be severely punished!"
The butler felt nervous when he saw the serious expression on Old Master Hong's face, realizing that the situation might be more serious than he had imagined.
He did not dare to delay for even a second and quickly responded, "Yes, old man! I will do it right away!"
He then turned around and ran away, quickly carrying out Old Master Hong's instructions.
Ye Zifen said solemnly again, "I will tell the driver to inform the Princess Fuxia Mansion and the General's Mansion on the way back, and have them be on guard."
Old Master Hong nodded slightly to show his agreement.
Wang Chuanshan, who was standing by, wanted to say that he was planning to go back to the Wang family, but was interrupted by Ye Zifen before he could say anything.
Ye Zifen looked at Wang Chuanshan with a determined gaze and said slowly, "Second cousin, don't worry. I will send a driver to the Wang family to pass on the news. Now, apart from you, there are almost no other masters in the Wang family. I think no one will pay too much attention to the affairs of the Wang family at this moment."
These are mainly the things that Lord Anle took away when he left. I guess everyone knows that the Wang family probably doesn’t have many good things now.
At this point, she paused, then said solemnly: "Besides, you and I are here, and the most urgent task is to protect the relatives of the Hong family."
Upon hearing this, Wang Chuanshan immediately understood and nodded in agreement.
Ye Zifen turned around and walked away quickly, her steps light and agile.
It turned out that her driver was no ordinary person, but a master who had received rigorous training together with everyone in the caravan.
Only because he had no relatives or friends at home was he allowed to stay in the capital. On weekdays, he was mainly responsible for protecting the safety of the princess's mansion.
He also serves as the liaison between various places in the capital, and is Ye Zifen's coachman, so he can be considered as someone who protects Ye Zifen.
Not long after, Ye Zifen came back and after a pause, she said, "My second cousin and I are going to go out and check on the situation. Aunt, please arrange for everyone in the family to go to where my grandmother is."
Although Ye Zifen did not elaborate on what was going on at this time, Mrs. Hong seemed to understand what Ye Zifen and Old Master Hong had arranged.
He immediately responded, "Don't worry about these. I'm afraid I'll have to trouble Xiaowu to take care of them this time."
Ye Zifen didn't say much, and silently followed Wang Chuanshen to the front yard.
They must sit in the front and are the backbone of the guards.
At this time, Old Master Hong was anxious and wanted to follow the two of them, but he was stopped by Old Madam Hong beside him.
Madam Hong advised with a worried look on her face: "Master, please don't cause trouble for the children. Our guards are all trained by Yujie himself. They are very skilled and will definitely protect everyone. Don't worry."
However, in reality, what Mrs. Hong was most concerned about at the moment were her two sons.
The eldest son was the Minister of Revenue, in charge of the financial power of Daxia, which was an important position dealing with silver and money.
After all, you need money to get things done. Unfortunately, disasters and droughts have plagued Daxia frequently in recent years. I'm sure everyone can guess that the Ministry of Revenue is probably empty and has no money left.
I don't think it will be difficult.
As for the second son, the situation was slightly better. However, since he was a concubine's son, Mrs. Hong did not dare to be biased towards him for fear of giving people a chance to criticize her.
Just then, Ye Zifen and others had just reached the front yard when they saw the housekeeper walking towards them in a hurry.
The butler looked anxious and reported in a trembling voice: "Your Highness, someone just knocked on the door and said that the emperor summoned our old master to the palace to see him immediately."
Ye Zifen frowned upon hearing this, and immediately responded decisively: "Don't pay attention to this person. If the emperor really wanted to summon the old master, why would he choose this moment? Besides, the first and second masters haven't returned yet, and I don't know what the situation is. At this time, the old master won't go anywhere!"
The butler said with difficulty: "But...the other party insisted that this was the emperor's oral order."
Ye Zifen frowned slightly, but quickly regained her composure and responded confidently, "Even if it is really the emperor's order, so what? After this matter is over, I will explain it to the emperor in person. You know, there is a deep friendship between our Hong family's old master and the emperor, and the emperor will certainly not blame me easily. Besides, go and see how many people that person has brought here, and confirm whether they are the eunuchs who often accompany the emperor."
The butler quickly responded, "Okay, Miss. I just peeked through the crack in the door and it seems that the person who came in was a young eunuch I had never seen before. Because I couldn't confirm his identity, I didn't open the door for them rashly."
Ye Zifen nodded slightly, indicating her approval of the housekeeper's cautious approach, and consoled him, "It's okay. I'll take care of everything. Don't worry. Come on, follow me to the door to check it out."
At this moment, one could hear the heavy door of the Hong family being slammed with a deafening sound.
