Chapter 500: Uncle 2, Uncle
Over the next two days, Zheng Sisi visited various shops in the capital city non-stop and found that business was still as booming as before.
Today, the food street has become a true food street, filled with tempting aromas and a lively atmosphere, with crowds of people.
As the weather gradually turns cooler, many shops have made corresponding adjustments. Shops that originally sold iced drinks have changed their appearance and launched a variety of hot drinks. Among them, kudzu root powder, lotus root powder and lotus root powder with nuts are particularly popular. Some even opened a special shop to sell these delicacies.
In addition, they also thoughtfully provided two options: on-site tasting and purchasing packaged food to take home. In addition, in order to meet the diverse needs of customers, they specially set aside a shop to specialize in "Weizhiyuan" snacks.
This small change brought a huge response and attracted everyone's attention. People's understanding of pastries seemed to be redefined. It turned out that pastries were not limited to traditional snacks, but there were so many mouth-watering snacks to choose from.
Especially the snacks of "Weizhiyuan", which have a unique taste and are unforgettable. You will never forget them after eating them once, and you can't help but want to taste them again.
Two days passed in a flash, Zheng Sisi consciously led a group of maids, packed up their luggage, left the original courtyard, and moved to the Duke's Mansion. At the same time, Sheng Zhen also went there.
During these last two days, the Duke's Mansion was a busy place. The lanterns in the corridors, halls, and gardens were all brand new, and the gardens even spent a lot of money to buy a batch of rare flowers, which made the whole courtyard more colorful.
In addition, two stages were built in the mansion, one for men and one for women. The doors, windows and columns were all covered with big red characters for "longevity", and the whole mansion was filled with a festive atmosphere.
After Zheng Sisi arrived, she immediately arranged for the cooks who followed her to go to the kitchen to familiarize themselves with the environment and discuss the banquet menu with everyone. After the menu was finalized, she personally led the cooks to try to make the dishes and invited everyone to taste them.
It was not until the previous day that my eldest uncle and my second uncle rushed back to the capital with several cousins. Their return once again brought the joyful atmosphere in the mansion to a climax.
But they just entered the palace to unload their bags, drank a cup of hot tea, and then hurried back to the palace to meet the emperor. Fortunately, the emperor also understood their hard work and let them go back soon. When they came out after washing up, dinner was served.
Because they were in such a hurry, their family members did not have time to tell them about their family matters, so when they arrived at the dining room, they were shocked to see that there were female guests.
Madam Zheng quickly called them over to introduce them. She lovingly took Zheng Sisi's hand and pointed at several people: "Sisi, this is your eldest uncle, this is your second uncle, and these are your eldest and second cousins."
Zheng Sisi politely bowed to them and called them in a gentle voice: "Hello, uncle, second uncle..."
"Hahaha, it turns out to be girl Sisi! I haven't seen you for so many years, and you've grown so beautiful. Girls really change a lot when they grow up. I didn't recognize you even before." Fortunately, his wife mentioned his niece in the letter, and now Boss Zheng reacted and laughed.
Zheng Sisi stuck out her tongue mischievously: "Uncle, I'm only seventeen?"
Boss Zheng was a soldier who led troops in battle, so he didn't pay attention to the age of the younger generation in his family. He only knew that he had a niece, so he just said it casually. Who knew that he was wrong? When his niece said this, his old face turned red and he laughed awkwardly, "Oh, I remembered it wrong, haha."
Everyone burst into laughter when they saw Zheng Sisi's naughty look, and only then did Boss Zheng realize that he was being made fun of by his niece.
Sheng Zhen stood up and bowed to the four of them: "Sheng Zhen greets the eldest uncle, second uncle, eldest cousin, and second cousin."
The four of them were confused. Why was the Third Prince a guest in the mansion? He even called them uncle and cousin. What was that? What happened at home? Why didn't anyone tell them?
Although they were confused, they still knelt down and bowed. Sheng Zhen stopped them in time: "Uncle, cousins, you don't have to be polite. You don't have to care about those red tapes in your own family."
Zheng Laosi came over and said, "Surprised, right? I was also shocked that day, and I felt the same as you. Come, let me introduce you. A-Zhen is already engaged to Sisi, so it's not wrong for him to call us uncle, haha!"
The four of them nodded in understanding. It turned out that the fourth brother had the same experience. The two brothers felt much better now.
Madam Zheng introduced other people to the table and invited everyone to eat. There was a table for men and a table for women, both of which were large round tables designed by Zheng Sisi. The atmosphere at both tables was also very lively.
