Chapter 156 County Lady's Mansion
Chapter 156 County Lady's Mansion
Just when Zheng Sisi started copying it for the second time, Chuntao knocked on the study door.
Zheng Sisi said without even raising her head: "Come in!"
Chun Tao pushed the door open and saw the county lady writing something, so she said directly: "County lady, Miss Li from the Shangshu Mansion sent someone to deliver a letter."
Zheng Sisi put down her pen and took the letter. She probably guessed what the situation was. After unfolding the letter, it turned out to be about wanting to go to the farm with him tomorrow.
Given such a good opportunity, they will definitely seize it. Minister Li does not have a suitable son, and seeing Minister Zhong's son running around following him, he must be envious. It must have taken a lot of determination for him to push his daughter out to befriend him.
Zheng Sisi originally thought that Minister Li was very good to her and wanted to get him to do business together. It would be best if Li Ziyan could go with him.
Zheng Sisi smiled and put the letter away, then asked Chuntao, "Has the person who delivered the letter returned?"
Chun Tao: "Not yet. I'm waiting for your reply in the front yard."
Zheng Sisi: "Well, just tell him to gather at the gate of the mansion tomorrow at the time I told her."
Chuntao: "Okay, County Lady." Then she went out to pass on the message.
Zheng Sisi continued to write, and soon Chuntao came back with a letter in her hand.
Chun Tao took a deep breath and said, "County Lady, Miss He from the Imperial Tutor's Mansion has also sent someone to deliver a letter."
Zheng Sisi took the letter and also wanted to go to the manor to play.
Zheng Sisi said to Chuntao, "Tell him the same thing, just gather at the gate tomorrow. If anyone else says they want to go, just ask her to come directly, don't run around and get tired."
Chun Tao: "Okay, County Lady."
After a while, Rose's voice came again: "County Lady, Nanny Li asks you to go to the front yard. Minister Li has brought a plaque."
Zheng Sisi was helpless. No matter what she wanted to do, someone would interrupt her. Sigh, she was too busy. She said, "Okay, I'll be there right away."
She put down her pen, packed up the mnemonics she had written, and threw them all into the space.
When she walked out of the study, the maids in the yard were waiting for her. They all wanted to go and see the excitement of such a big event as hanging the plaque.
Several people came to the reception room in the front yard, where Nanny Li was drinking tea with Minister Li.
Seeing Zheng Sisi coming in, Minister Li stood up and bowed, "Congratulations, County Lady. Congratulations, County Lady. Good luck and may you rise to higher heights!"
Zheng Sisi returned the favor: "Thank you Uncle Li for coming in person. You've worked hard!"
Minister Li said, "The county lady has come out, and the time is right, let's change the plaque."
Zheng Sisi: "Sure, thank you Uncle Li for your help."
So everyone went to the gate of the mansion, where the guards had already prepared a ladder.
Minister Li personally ordered the guards to take down the old sign that read "Zheng Mansion".
Zheng Sisi sighed, this plaque was taken down not long after it was hung up. This is the words written by the emperor himself, it is very valuable for collection. Zheng Sisi plans to put it away later.
The new plaque hadn't been hung yet when a few people came from the Third Prince's Mansion. They were the Third Prince, Zheng Zhiyuan, and Zhong Ruiyu. Zheng Sisi thought to herself, what a coincidence! They came at the right time.
Several people congratulated together and witnessed the replacement of the plaque of the County Lady's Mansion.
This time it was very low-key, Zheng Sisi requested that no firecrackers be set off, so there was only a ceremony of changing the plaque. When the plaque was hung up, the maids and servants in the mansion all applauded and cheered, and were happier than she, the owner.
After the plaque is hung, Minister Li has to go back to report, so he can't stay long.
But before leaving, she went to Zheng Sisi and said, "County Lady, my daughter came back yesterday and said she wanted to go to the farm with you tomorrow. The little girl is not sensible, so I hope you can bear with her."
Zheng Sisi smiled and said, "Uncle Li is too modest. Zi Yan is knowledgeable and talented, and is a role model for women. It is my honor to be her friend. If she follows me out to play, don't blame me for turning Zi Yan into a wild girl."
Minister Li laughed and said, "If it was a smart and capable wild girl like you, I would wake up laughing in my dreams."
After a few pleasantries, they sent Minister Li away. Zheng Sisi invited them into the mansion because she had something to discuss.
