Parents are busy farming

Chapter 168 4 Cousins

After Zifen sat on the small stool next to Wang Hong, she asked: "How come you were admitted as a scholar but were not notified? How long has it been before you let us know!"

The little mouth was full of complaints, but it had a strong taste of coquettishness.

"Wasn't your family busy a while ago? Your eldest cousin doesn't plan to make a big deal, so why don't I inform you now!" said my aunt, tapping Ye Zifen's little nose.

As long as she sees Ye Zifen, Wang Hong will always take her with her. To be honest, Ye Zifen and Wang Hong are more like mother and daughter, and their relationship is even closer.

Ye Zifen suddenly thought of something and asked reluctantly: "My eldest cousin is going to Beijing?"

Wang Hong saw that Ye Zifendi was reluctant to give up, but she still nodded honestly.

Ye Zifen pursed her lips and said, "So grandma said that after my eldest cousin becomes a scholar, she will let him go to the Imperial Academy to study. My eldest cousin is so awesome!"

Ye Zifen and Wang Chuanxing are more like brothers and sisters. When they were young, they often played with the children of the Hong family. Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, their eldest cousin had become a scholar.

There were tears in Ye Zifen's eyes, and she was particularly reluctant to give up.

When Wang Chuanxing saw Xiao Wu acting like this, he quickly coaxed: "I'll go to the capital first and have a look. If it's fun, I'll send you a message. You hurry over!"

When Zi Zifen heard this, she burst into tears and smiled: "I asked you to go there to study, why do you always think about having fun!"

Wang Tinghe was relieved to see Ye Zifen interacting with her mother's family like this, but at the same time, she felt resentful in her heart.

‘She is not willing to give sixty acres of land to her biological sister, but she has a good relationship with her unrelated uncle’s family! I really don’t know who is near and who is far! ’

Ye Yongwang and Wang Tingfeng kept smiling and didn't notice anything wrong with Wang Tinghe's expression. Only Wang Chuanxing's third brother Wang Chuanren saw it.

He looked at Xiao Wu again, pursed his lips and continued to listen to them as if nothing happened.

"Cousin, have you told grandma that you were admitted as a scholar?" Ye Zifen asked.

Wang Chuanxing nodded, "After I was named on the list, I immediately wrote a letter to my grandpa. Just two days ago, my grandma wrote a letter urging me to come to Beijing quickly. The Imperial College has already said hello, and I am here to say goodbye today."

Ye Zifen nodded, pretending to be quiet and said to Wang Hong, "I guess my grandma has already found a girl for my eldest cousin, and my aunt should be ready to be a mother-in-law!"

Ye Zifen's words were heard by everyone in the room, and Wang Hong nodded her forehead: "Naughty devil, even your eldest cousin wants to make fun of you!"

Wang Tinghe also scolded: "That's right! A girl's mouth and mouth are always looking at each other and saying whatever she wants!"

Ye Zifen's smile became much lighter, but she just didn't let everyone know.

Wang Chuanren became more sure of his inner thoughts, rolled his eyes, and planned to find someone to ask.

This person is none other than Ye Zifei. He is the same age as Ye Zifei. They often played together when they were children and they speak straightforwardly.

"What happened to aunt and Xiaowu?" Wang Chuanren asked.

Upon hearing this, Ye Zifei hesitated and didn't know what to say. After all, this matter had something to do with her.

Wang Chuanren didn't urge him, he just stood there waiting for Ye Yefei's answer.

Seeing him like this again, Ye Zifei surrendered obediently.

He told Wang Chuanren about Wang Tingmei's visit and what Wang Tinghe said to them after Wang Tingmei left.

Wang Chuanren's eyelids tightened after hearing this, and he comforted Ye Zifei and said, "This is none of your business, so don't take it to heart. Xiao Wu understands."

Ye Zifei nodded as soon as she heard this, and listened to the advice and had a full meal.

Just as the two were standing together talking, they were spotted by Wang Hongshi and Ye Zifen who came out together.

An idea immediately appeared in the two people's minds, and then they looked at each other.

"Xiaowu, let's go, my aunt wants to talk to you alone!" Wang Hong suggested.

Zhi Zifen nodded and took her aunt into the original weaving room. There were basins and barrels in the room, which were the tools for the last experiment. Zhi Zifen forgot to pack them away.

There was just no water in the basin, and a lot of crystals appeared.

Ye Zifen's eyes were full of surprises, but she still put the matter aside.

I wiped the table and stools with my handkerchief, which was spotless.

I guess Mrs. Feng came in and cleaned up the house, but she didn't know what the pots and buckets were for, so she didn't dare to touch them.

After asking her aunt to sit down, she went to the kitchen to make tea.

The two were sitting next to each other, and Wang Hong took Ye Zifen's hand.

"Girl, your eldest cousin has been admitted as a scholar. I'm worried. I want to go to the capital to accompany him and your grandmother. Do you want to go with me?" Wang Hong came here mainly to ask Ye Zi Would Fen be willing to go to the capital with her?

Ye Zifen didn't speak at first, watching her aunt hold her hand, and then she shed a tear.

The drops happened to fall on the back of Wang Hong's hand. Wang Hong quickly took out her handkerchief and wiped her tears.

"Hey! I know that your family can't live without you now, and I also know about your mother's health!" Mrs. Wang Hong hugged Ye Zifen distressedly.

Ye Zifen choked and asked: "How long will my aunt be going? Are you all going?"

Wang Hongshi said quickly: "Only me, your uncle, your eldest cousin, and your fourth cousin will go, and the remaining two will stay at home. We will come back years ago."

Ye Zifen nodded after hearing this.

Then he began to chat with Ye Zifen about the family affairs, "Your eldest cousin has your grandmother here, and I can't get involved in her marriage. Are there any others you like?"

Wang Hong regarded Ye Zifen as her daughter and naturally wanted her to enter her home.

Ye Zifen glanced at Wang Hong with an angry look, pursed her lips and said: "Didn't my aunt already have an idea? With my character, and the extent to which you dote on me, which cousin I marry will not matter to the remaining cousins." It’s not fair, brother.”

Not only was Wang Hong not unhappy after hearing this, but she held Ye Zifen's hand with joy.

"It stands to reason that with your personality and temperament, it would be most suitable for you to marry your eldest cousin, but the age difference between you is too big. Besides, I can see that you and the brats in your family are like brothers and sisters. They will pamper you, but But it’s not the kind of love between men and women.”

Ye Zifen quickly said: "I regard several cousins ​​as my brothers, and you treat me like your own daughter. I know that. But I think the third cousin and the third sister..."

When she said this, she glanced at Wang Hongshi and saw her nodding. Zifen Yejia said confidently, "I think the two of them are quite suitable."

Wang Hongshi nodded and said: "Originally, I wanted to choose between Chuanshan and Chuanren. Originally I was more inclined to Chuanshan, but after seeing the interaction between Zifei and Chuanren today, Chuanren is more suitable."

Ye Zifen also analyzed it for her: "I also feel that the third cousin is more suitable! You see, the eldest cousin will definitely take the imperial examination in the future. Although the second cousin has already passed the imperial examination, depending on his personality and ideas, most of He wants to go into business. The third cousin is the most stable among your four children. It stands to reason that he should enter the officialdom, but that is not his ambition. It is estimated that after passing the exam, he will become a teacher and educate people. "

Wang Hongshi saw that she stopped talking after mentioning three sons, and immediately asked anxiously: "Where is the family heirloom?"

Ye Zifen gave Wang Hong a look in her heart and said deliberately: "The youngest son and grandson are the heart of the old lady. The one you are most partial to is your fourth cousin. How can he be worse in the future?"
