Parents are busy farming

Ye Zifen knew that Lu Zili had always been very thoughtful, but she never expected that such intimate words would fall into his ears.

After thinking about it for a while, she couldn't help but wonder if the boy had deliberately revealed the matter to Lu Zili. After all, how could a servant of such a well-established family leak the news so easily?

If it wasn't intentional, it would be really puzzling.

So which prince is coveting her clock? Or maybe the drunkard didn't care about drinking, but actually fell in love with Lu Zili?

Regarding this, Ye Zifen has no conclusion yet, so she can only put the matter aside for now.

Ye Zifen reminded: "The key to the success of this model is that you have a backer to support you. If no one protects you, this auction may not end well. When we held the auction in the capital in the past, all the funds raised were It needs to be turned over to the national treasury before you can escape intact..."

Speaking of this, Ye Zifen shook his head helplessly.

Lu Zili noticed Ye Zifen's solemn expression, and after hearing what she said clearly, he nodded solemnly to express his agreement.

I was indeed disturbed by the Jiangnan incident. Now that I think about it calmly, I realize that these things are really nothing to be afraid of.

Those problems were nothing compared to the extremely intelligent woman in front of him.

Ye Zifen asked curiously: "Has the nobleman you mentioned returned to the capital? Why did he go to the south?"

Lu Zili shook his head helplessly and responded: "I don't know the specific situation, but judging from his words, it seems that he will also set foot in the more remote southern areas."

Faced with this situation, Ye Zifen thought hard and still couldn't get any useful clues from it, so she could only tell Lu Zili to pay more attention to his own safety in the future.

Lu Zili nodded, indicating that he understood Ye Zifen's concern.

Zi Zifen asked Lu Zili again: "Now let's talk about the situation in the south."

Half a year ago, because she was worried that something might happen in the south, Ye Zifen asked the Bai family to return first.

After all, if members of the two brother families were trapped there, the consequences would be disastrous.

However, as the situation gradually stabilized, the Bai family was still unwilling to accept the market they had opened up, so they came to ask her for permission to stay.

At that time, she agreed to their request, but did not ask who was sent this time.

Lu Zili happened to be present at this time, and Ye Zifen took the opportunity to ask for details.

After Lu Zili nodded in response, Ye Zifen then asked: "Then who is over there?"

Hearing this, Lu Zili hurriedly replied: "It's my uncle over there. In the past six months, he has transported food back twice. In addition, before the canal was suspended, he sent a message saying that he would not be able to go home for the New Year this year. , and asked me to take care of the family affairs.”

Ye Zifen nodded in understanding, and then asked: "So, your second uncle stayed at home?"

Lu Zili also nodded and explained: "Yes, my brother-in-law has gone to the border to guard the border, and the home cannot be left unattended. And my grandmother is reluctant to leave home, so only my second uncle can stay at home to protect her."

Ye Zifen finally understood. After nodding thoughtfully, she asked Lu Zili again: "So, last time you went to the south to sell watches, the reason why you were able to meet the prince was all because of your uncle's matchmaking. What?"

However, Lu Zili slowly shook his head, indicating that this was not the case.

Then he explained: "Actually, that's not the case. It was just a coincidence that I met the prince. You also know how obvious the target of our ship for transporting goods is. It has attracted the attention of many people on the way south. Wait until When the cargo ship arrived at the south coast and was about to dock, they stopped with it. Otherwise, under normal circumstances, they should continue heading south..."

Hearing this, Ye Zifen already understood it.

Then she asked further: "So this time you went to the south, did you know anything about your uncle's situation there? Has he ever made friends with dignitaries? Or has he done anything excessive? After all, the situation is no longer what it used to be. We go to other places just to get food. This is an extremely sensitive topic. If we accidentally offend others, the consequences may be disastrous! "

At this moment, Ye Zifen's expression was particularly solemn, because she knew very well what huge risks lurked in it.

Lu Zili naturally understood the seriousness of the matter, so he responded: "According to my observation, the method used by my uncle to purchase grain is exactly the same as that in our village, and there is no force."

He thought for a moment and then spoke again: "As for dealing with those officials, we just sent some gifts and did not get involved in any affairs. Besides, I have solemnly warned him, and I expect that he will not mess around. "

Hearing this, Ye Zifen finally showed a satisfied look.

After all, in this sensitive period, nothing can go wrong.

Who could have predicted when the higher authorities would launch a severe review and even look for a scapegoat?

She still worried and warned: "When writing to him, be sure to emphasize that he must ensure his own safety and not act impulsively. If an unexpected situation occurs, we are far apart and it is difficult to provide immediate help."

Lu Zili responded: "Okay, I understand. I'll write to him as soon as I get home. You don't have to worry too much. My uncle has always been as timid as a mouse. He only makes small moves at most and never dares to touch him." Big trouble, let alone the resourcefulness to plan big things.”

At this moment, Ye Zifen thought of the two brothers planning to settle down and start a business there.

In fact, sometimes when a person makes a mistake, it is easier for others to see his true face clearly, so that he will not be taken too seriously.

In a sense, this may be a blessing in disguise for the brothers.

At this moment, Ye Zifen recalled what Lu Zili had just said, and couldn't help but feel doubtful, and asked tremblingly: "Your father...could it be that he really went to the border to fight?"

You must know that the last time the conscription standards were extremely strict, it was not something that ordinary people could evade at will.

Lu Zili nodded silently, now he was relieved about this matter.

He continued: "Originally, I intended to go there in person. As the eldest son in the family, I should shoulder this responsibility. However, my family insisted on opposing it. In addition, my father himself also longed to go to the battlefield in person... Today's father is completely different from the past. I deeply admire people.”

Ye Zifen praised: "Those who dare to face the test of life and death can be called heroes, and you really admire them."

Ye Zifen no longer hates the Lu family so much. Perhaps as people say, once a person passes away, all love, hatred, and hatred will disappear.
