Parents are busy farming

As for Mrs. Hong Er, she hasn't thought of a suitable gift yet.

However, the current situation is a big blow to the second wife’s natal family!

Considering that what she was going to do next might bring in considerable income, she wondered if she could discuss cooperation with the second wife?

If we cooperate under the name of the second wife, it would be considered giving enough face to her family.

No, Ye Zifen prepared the gifts and went to Hong's house in Fuke's carriage.

Of course, she doesn't have to do the driving work herself, the store clerk will do it for her!

Ye Zifen said that she would let this guy be her coachman during her stay in the capital.

Neither forward nor buddy had any objections.

After all, when you arrive in the capital, you still have to pay attention to pomp and circumstance in many scenes.

Sitting in the carriage, Ye Zifen pricked up her ears to listen to what was going on outside. She couldn't help but wonder whether it was because of the New Year or because of the drought. The outside was so deserted, which was completely different from the bustling and bustling scene in the capital in previous years.

When they arrived outside Hong's house, the coachman stepped forward and knocked on the door.

After the door slowly opened, the coachman handed Ye Zifen's greeting card in, then silently retreated to the car, quietly waiting for the news inside.

At first, the doorman of the Hong family didn't pay much attention when he got the invitation. He just went to the steward to report it as usual.

However, at this moment, after carefully checking the name written on the greeting card, the steward suddenly became extremely nervous and quickly ordered his subordinates to quickly invite the guests into the house, and then went to the back house in person. Running away.

The guard who witnessed this scene naturally understood that the identity of this visitor was probably extraordinary, so he did not dare to delay at all, immediately turned around and ran back to the gate, respectfully inviting the guest into the house.

Faced with the completely different attitudes of the doorkeepers, Ye Zifen did not feel angry. She calmly got out of the car and entered the house through the main entrance of Hong's house.

Elegant posture, bold but not timid

At the same time, the coachman drove the carriage into Hong's house through the side door.

After entering the house, Ye Zifen got on the soft sedan that the guard had just called.

Sitting in the sedan, she tidied up her appearance and makeup again.

When the sedan came to a stop, the door curtain was opened, and Ye Zifen slowly stood up and stepped off the sedan gracefully.

As soon as she got off, she saw a smiling man standing there to greet her.

Ye Zifen smiled and knelt down gently, greeting: "Madam, long time no see!"

When Mrs. Hong saw this, she hurriedly stepped forward and held Ye Zifen's hand, looking around, her eyes full of joy.

As if we can’t get enough.

It wasn't until he looked her over from head to toe that he said with a smile on his face: "It's been a long time, haven't we seen each other! Several years have passed, and you are so cruel. You keep saying that you will come to the capital to visit when you have time. What's the result of us? We waited and waited but no one was seen. Now we finally look forward to seeing you. It's just that in the past few years, you have become more and more beautiful. Look at this pretty little face, it is really enviable and exciting. Jealousy."

Although these words were full of longing and blame, the tone was extremely friendly, and there was no hint of blame at all.

Ye Zifen responded quickly: "It's indeed my fault that I still let you worry about me all the time."

Grandma Hong replied with a smile: "Okay, let's not delay here. The old lady was very excited when she heard that you were coming. If it weren't for the rules of the house, she would have come here in person to meet you." See you, let’s go, don’t keep the old lady waiting.”

Before she finished speaking, Grandma Hong took Ye Zifen's hand and walked towards the house.

Because she was sitting in a soft sedan just now, Ye Zifen could not carefully check the surrounding situation. At this moment, she quickly scanned the surrounding environment with the corner of her eye...

Just from where the eyes can touch, one can already feel the extraordinary layout of the entire Hong family's environment. It is both elegant and wealthy, which complements the Hong family's status as a scholarly family and does not feel out of place at all.

Compared with the mansions in the county, this place is obviously very different.

Of course, this is understandable. After all, in the capital, it is natural to appear richer, otherwise you may be looked down upon by others.

As the eldest lady walked, she asked Zi Zifen: "Have you ever visited your uncles and aunts?"

Although Ye Zifen didn't understand why the topic suddenly turned to them, she still answered truthfully: "I went there once before the year, and also went to pay New Year greetings after the new year. Everyone was doing well."

Grandma Hong continued: "It probably won't take too long for them to return. I heard that the situation outside is not stable, so they all hope to reunite them at home, so that the family no longer has to worry about each other. ”

Hearing this, Zi Zifen immediately understood the implication of Mrs. Hongda’s words.

She was actually giving herself a hint. It was probably Mrs. Hong who hoped that her children and grandchildren could go home for reunion, and she might also ask her about their situation there later.

Ye Zifen showed a faint smile to Mrs. Hong and said softly: "It is indeed time to come back. They have been there for two or three years. They must miss their grandparents very much and want to fulfill their filial piety."

After a pause, she continued: "As the saying goes, children should not travel far away while their parents are alive. Fortunately, my grandmother has many children, and her uncle and uncle are all waiting by her side, plus you, the filial descendants , then they can go out and explore with peace of mind.”

As for why the Hong family sent them to the county town, Ye Zifen had some guesses in her mind, but out of consideration, she did not clarify.

So he responded to the eldest lady as he did just now.

Of course, I also secretly praised Mr. Hong Da and Mr. Hong Er.

The eldest wife knows very well that Ye Zifen is a smart person and can understand the meaning of just one topic. It is really worry-free and effort-saving to talk to such a smart person.

Then, she asked again: "How long do you plan to stay when you return to Beijing this time? Why don't you just stop leaving! You also have your own property in the capital, so you don't have to stay in the county.

She also knew that Wang Tinghe had passed away. Since the marriage had been delayed, it was better to stay in the capital and find a suitable marriage in two years.

There was a faint smile on Zi Zifen's lips, and she said apologetically: "I came to Beijing this time because there are extremely important and urgent matters that need to be dealt with. If everything goes well, maybe I won't be able to stay in Beijing for long. time."

Mrs. Hong Da just sighed when she heard this.
