Parents are busy farming

When Mu Hongzhou arrived in Feng County, he went directly to the county government office without stopping.

Zhang Huaiyu cupped his hands when he saw her, "What's the matter, Master Mu?"

Mu Hongzhou handed the letter in his hand to Zhang Huaiyu, which was clearly written by his wife Zixuan.

He glanced at Mu Hongzhou and quickly opened the letter.

After Zhang Huaiyu read the letter, he immediately returned to the back house, found Zixuan's maid, and asked her to find the contract in Zifen's name.

But the eldest maid said: "Madam did not leave such an important thing to the slave for safekeeping when she left."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Huaiyu frowned, rolled up his sleeves and went out displeased.

He hurriedly went to the Yamen to find someone to rewrite the contract. Fortunately, he was the county magistrate and the original contract was in Ye Zixuan's hands, otherwise it would have been really difficult.

He found someone to spread the news about selling the shop.

The profits of those shops have long made many people covetous. When they heard that they were for sale, they were surprised and pleasantly surprised, and they all rushed to the Yamen to inquire.

Zhang Huaiyu was also a talented person. When they were anxious, he asked them to bid in public, and finally sold five thousand taels of silver.

When the banknote was placed in Mu Hongzhou's hand, she was shocked.

I don’t know what Ye Zifen wrote in the letter to get the money so smoothly.

Mu Hongzhou said goodbye to Zhang Huaiyu with a cold face and hurried back.

Seeing that nothing happened, Ye Zifen and Zhang Gaoyi planned to go to Fuke to have a look. "I haven't seen Pang Chao in a few days. I wonder what he is busy with!"

Zhang Gaoyi heard what Ye Zifen said and said with a smile: "You really treat Pang Chao as a confidant. Pang Chao takes everything you say into consideration. How good!"

Ye Zifen suddenly asked playfully: "How does it feel?"

Zhang Gaoyi curled his lips and said, "Pang Chao has almost become your brother!"

Ye Zifen gave him a thumbs up, "Your evaluation is very accurate."

The two of them came to Fukelai's gate talking and laughing.

"Guests please come in!" came a strange voice.

Both Ye Zifen and Zhang Gaoyi looked towards the source of the sound.

A parrot was looking at them with its head tilted. Seeing that they were motionless for a long time, it shouted again: "Gee! What are you looking at! I've never seen a bird before!"

Zi Zifen never expected that the parrot she fainted on the mountain could actually talk! But why do I feel that the bird's expression and attitude when speaking are so similar to Pang Chao!

A funny bird.

Ye Zifen became more playful and said with a smile: "I've never seen a bald bird before, why don't you show me a show?"

The parrot seemed to sense danger, and immediately flapped its wings and began to fly up and down in Fu Ke Lai: "Help! Help..."

At this time, the door of a private room on the second floor opened, and Pang Chao quickly walked out of it.

shouted "Come here!"

The parrot immediately flew to Pang Chao's shoulder as if it had found home.

"You said you made me jump as soon as you came." When Pang Chao saw Ye Zifen, he immediately knew what had happened and said to her angrily.

"Tch, it's obviously just a parrot scurrying around. How come it's a chicken and a dog jumping around?" Ye Zifen replied not to be outdone.

At this time, a person walked out of the box, and it was none other than Zhi Xuan.

After Ye Zifen saw her, a little ridicule appeared on his face, and then his expression returned to its original demure look.

Pang Chao glanced at the woman behind him, with disdain that could not be concealed in his eyes, and then went downstairs with the parrot.

Without saying a word, he first put the parrot on the cage at the door and gave it a few sunflower seeds before stopping.

"Since you two bosses are here, there happens to be someone who wants to discuss cooperation with us at Fuke. Why don't you go up and have a listen?" Pang Chao quietly winked at Ye Zifen and whispered.

Zhi Fen tilted her head, looked at Zhi Xuan, and then at Pang Chao.

He also whispered two words: "No need to talk!"

Upstairs, Zhi Xuan saw how familiar Pang Chao and Zhi Fen were, and anger climbed onto her face.

"You actually..." Zhi Xuan walked down quickly and asked Zhi Fen in surprise.

Ye Zifen still smiled and nodded.

He had an expression on his face that said, "Obviously, it's just what you imagined."

Zhi Xuan thought of yesterday's notebook and said, "You gave me a fake notebook!"

Ye Zifen shook his head, "Didn't you and dad check it out? That's grandma's handwriting on it, so why is it fake again?"

"My mother said that it contains various recipes and strange things, but the book you gave me is actually..."

Ye Zifen suddenly realized, "Ouch! That's the one you're talking about! Alas! Those are my notes, not grandma's. Look, you didn't make it clear. I thought you..."

When Zhi Xuan heard that there was indeed such a notebook, she immediately said: "Then give me that notebook."

Zi Zifen suddenly laughed, "I told you, those are my notes, not grandma's. I don't want to give them to you."

Zhi Xuan was at a loss for words, "You..."

Zhang Gaoyi stood aside and never interrupted. Now he finally knew why Ye Zifen's mood was not high.

Looking at Ye Zifen secretly, the smile did not reach his eyes, and the sadness in the corners of his eyes hurt his heart.

How could he not know how much Ye Zifen cared about her eldest sister, but he didn't want to give her another hard blow now.

Zhang Gaoyi stood up and said: "I am the owner of Fuke Lai. We at Foke Lai don't want to cooperate with you, so please do it yourself!"

Pang Chao also cooperated and said apologetically: "You have also heard what our boss said. Since the boss does not agree, then it is inconvenient for us to cooperate!"

Zhi Xuan looked at the poor boy in front of her and snorted coldly, "Are you the boss?"

Pang Chao immediately said: "Yes, he is one of the bosses."

Zhi Xuan asked: "Xiao Wu, you are also the boss, right?"

Ye Zifen nodded, "Yes! I am also the owner of Fuke Lai. If you cooperate with us, the conditions are not met, so there is no need to cooperate."

Zhi Xuan immediately asked: "What are the conditions?"

Zhi Zifen knew that if she told the real reason, Zhi Xuan would think too much.

But she still said matter-of-factly: "Fengxian County's economic strength cannot support one Fuke, so we will not focus our energy on that place."

Sure enough, Zhi Xuan's expression changed, and she said reproachfully: "Because Feng County is not prosperous enough, but who doesn't want to be in a prosperous place..."

Ye Zifen knew what she wanted to say and her face turned cold. "As the head of a county, isn't it just to make the place more prosperous and make the people in the county live better? If you don't have any kindness and kindness, what else can you say? Be an official. Being an official gives you rights, but what about responsibilities?"

Zhi Xuan's expression didn't get any better. The sight of Zhi Zifen and grandma in front of her was so imaginary.

She is just a woman, why should she have the mind to "worry about the world's worries first, and rejoice after the world's happiness".

It seems that they are the only ones who are great, and they are nothing compared to the others.

"You're not in that position, there are some things you shouldn't consider." After Zixuan finished speaking, she immediately left.

Ye Zifen looked at her hurried figure and just shook her head.
