Parents are busy farming

"Fifth sister, it's your birthday soon!" Ye Ziwei suddenly said.

Ye Zifen just said "oh" after hearing this.

She has never celebrated her birthday. Grandma likes her so much, but she never lets anyone celebrate her birthday.

On your birthday, give a piece of clothing or jewelry.

For as long as she can remember, she has spent this day in the temple every year.

I didn’t know why before, but now I understand more or less.

Zhang Gaoyi didn't know when Zi Zifen's birthday was, so he secretly came to Zi Wei and asked: "When is your sister's birthday?"

Zi Ziwei told Zhang Gaoyi in a low voice.

He asked again: "How did your sister celebrate her birthday in the past?"

Ye Ziwei looked at Ye Zifen's face and said, "My sister was not at home during her birthdays before. Even last year, my grandma was already in very bad health, so she took her to the temple that day!"

Zhang Gaoyi thought about it and found that there was no special taboo on this day.

"Then how about we give your sister a good birthday this year?" Zhang Gaoyi suggested.

Ye Ziwei nodded vigorously.

"You two should think about what to eat for lunch today! They have eaten enough wild vegetables in the past few days!" Ye Zifen reminded them.

She already had a headache and didn't know what to eat next.

"You followed me out and made them naughty. You should just feed them barbecue, so they won't always be dissatisfied!" Zhang Gaoyi said distressedly.

After hearing this, Zi Zifen saw that the prey Zi Ziwei had hunted were all pheasants.

I suddenly got inspiration and decided to make a beggar's chicken today.

"Are there any larger leaves around here?" Ye Zifen asked Zhang Gaoyi.

Zhang Gaoyi thought for a while and nodded.

"You guys keep going forward, I'll chase you later!" He said and immediately ran in the other direction.

Ye Zifen lowered her head and grabbed a handful of stones and started to move forward with her sister.

Never miss a pheasant if you see one.

Half an hour later, Zhang Gaoyi caught up with him carrying a basket full of leaves.

"How far is it to the resting place?" Zi Zifen asked.

"Not far, at most three kilometers!" Zhang Gaoyi replied.

Ye Zifen nodded and moved on.

Feng County, today Ye Lan took her three sons to Zixuan's house.

Zhang Yushi greeted her directly at the second door, but she was dressed a bit grandly today, as if she was visiting someone else's house.

She thought that Ye Lan was a border girl and should not be as polite as her and wanted to show off. After all, she had been nurtured by Zixuan for two years.

but……

In the distance, a woman was walking towards this side. Her steps were light and slow, and her body did not waver.

She is well-dressed, neither fancy nor shabby.

Zhang Yu felt like she had been slapped in the face, and she finally knew why her daughter-in-law persuaded her to change her clothes.

(In the end, it was discovered that the clown was herself.)

Zhi Xuan saw the change in her mother-in-law's face. After Zhang Yushi and Ye Lanshi exchanged greetings for a while, she said to Zhang Yushi, "Didn't you make an appointment with the Madam of the Registrar? Go quickly!"

Zhang Yu was a little confused at first, but when she saw Ye Zixuan nodding to her, she said apologetically to Ye Lan: "Second aunt, I'm so sorry. I made an appointment with the chief clerk's wife a few days ago, and I couldn't keep it. Let Zixuan accompany you first, I will come back as soon as I go, you will feel like you are at home here."

Ye Lanshi also quickly handed her the steps: "Go quickly! After all, we made an appointment in advance."

"Hey! I'll be back as soon as possible!" Zhang Yu said and walked out with the support of Mrs. Liu.

How could a person like Aunt Qi fail to see the twists and turns in this, and just found it a bit funny.

Looking at the eldest lady again, I suddenly felt that her life might not be as satisfactory as everyone saw.

Especially now that I have left my hometown and my family is far away.

It's no wonder that the fifth lady ignored the master's objection and arranged for her second uncle's family to come to Feng County.

The fifth young lady has an exquisite heart with seven orifices!

The eldest daughter originally married into a family of a minor official in the county. Not only did she get promoted because of her connections, she also arranged for her own family to guard her.

On top of that there are financial implications.

Let the eldest lady live a comfortable and confident life.

The third young lady didn't know much about the ways of the world, so the fifth young lady tried her best to bring the third young lady and her cousin together. Not to mention the kindness involved, she was a member of the Wang family with good roots. She would definitely take the lion's share of the family property in the future.

The fifth young lady arranged herself in her own village so that while she could take care of her younger brothers and sisters, she could also keep an eye on Madam and the Lu family to prevent them from acting like monsters.

I just don’t know how she will arrange the sixth and seventh ladies.

You can’t go wrong even if you think about it…

Aunt Qi walked quickly, following behind Zhi Xuan and Ye Lanshi.

Ye Lanshi and Zhi Xuan went to Zhi Xuan's courtyard.

The two sent everyone else out.

Ye Lanshi said anxiously: "Zixuan, you can tell me which family Zi Ning wants to see. Let's find time to meet each other quickly."

Zhi Xuan smiled and comforted Ye Lan, "Second Aunt, don't be anxious, just listen to me and tell you slowly."

Zhi Xuan brought a cup of tea to Ye Lanshi. After sitting down, she said, "I have two candidates. One is the niece of the chief clerk's wife, who is seventeen this year. The chief clerk's wife's sister-in-law passed away three years ago. This girl was delayed in order to honor her mother. But this girl was taken to the bookkeeper's house after her mother died. I've seen it before, and it's not bad!"

Ye Lan listened carefully, nodded in agreement from time to time, and asked, "Where's the other one?"

Zhi Xuan continued: "This other girl is fifteen years old. Her father is a scholar, but this girl has a stepmother. I have also seen this girl, and she is not bad. But I don't think highly of her stepmother. Somewhat petty!"

Ye Lanshi also nodded.

"Second Aunt, which one should we meet first?" This time it was Zhi Xuan's turn to ask.

"Has the Madam's brother married another wife?" Ye Lan asked.

Zhi Xuan replied: "I got married last year, but the madam was afraid that she would neglect her niece, so she never let her go home!"

"Is her home far from the county seat? How is her father like?" Ye Lan asked again.

"Her father is a squire in the county, and her stepmother has given birth to a one-year-old boy. So..." Zixuan can't say it's hard to say that the family doesn't have this girl.

But Ye Lanshi understood it.

"You also know the situation of our family. If she comes to our house, will it hurt other girls?" Ye Lanshi suddenly became sentimental.

Zhi Xuan suggested: "Why don't we go to the bookkeeper's house tomorrow to meet the girl? My second uncle has already entered the Yamen. It is also appropriate for you to meet these officials' wives."

Ye Lanshi nodded quickly, "After I go back today, I will give Zining a good plan!"

"No, Zi Ning looks like you. If you look good, the way you look today is very attractive to the little girl!" Zhi Xuan said with a smile.

Ye Lan liked to hear this, but she had already made up her mind to go back and rummage through the trunks.

She remembered that Zifen had people make several outfits for their brothers!

Before noon, Zhang Huaiyu and Ye Yongrui came back, just as Zhang Yu also entered the house.

After Zhang Yu went to the chief bookkeeper's house, she was asked for a while, mostly about Ye Zining.

Only then did Mrs. Zhang Yu know about her daughter-in-law's arrangement, so she told the truth, saying that Ye Zining was good-looking and well-mannered.
