Chapter 284 Visiting the Zheng Mansion
Chapter 284 Visiting the Zheng Mansion
In the blink of an eye, the vacation I had been looking forward to for several days finally arrived.
This morning, Old Lady Yang got up early because today was the important day she and Mr. Zheng had agreed to visit!
Da Mao and Simao are also on vacation today, while Sanmao has more free time. They accompany grandma and Xiaocao to visit Zheng's house.
As they surrounded Old Lady Yang and the lovely little Cao'er, they were happily ready to set off. Not only that, everyone also brought various gifts that Qi Xingyun had helped to prepare. However, what was unexpected was that there were so many gifts and five people that a carriage could not even fit them.
Qi Xingyun happened to be driving by. In fact, he deliberately made a big detour to come here. He didn't need to pass by here at all to go from Qi Xingyun's place to Zheng's house. He invited Old Lady Yang and Xiao Cao'er to sit in his carriage and go ahead. His own carriage was occupied by the three brothers Damao and a bunch of gifts.
Time flies, and it has been many years since she last saw Mr. Zheng. When they met again, Mrs. Yang was very excited and kept talking like a string of cannonballs: "Oh, Mr. Zheng, it's been a long time since we last met! Look at you, your face is so rosy, you are full of energy, and you must be in good health!" Mrs. Yang said with a smile on her face.
When Mr. Zheng heard this, he hurried forward and responded kindly: "Haha, old lady, you look very energetic! You have come such a long way, thank you for your hard work along the way! Have you been at home these days? Please come in and have a rest." After that, Mr. Zheng enthusiastically led Old Lady Yang and her group into the house.
"It's okay, it's okay. We have been traveling leisurely and relaxed along the way. We are not in a hurry at all, so we don't feel very tired." Old Mrs. Yang said happily with a kind smile on her face.
"Hello, Grandpa Zheng, hello, Grandma Zheng!" Xiao Cao'er was very happy to see Mr. Zheng again after many years. A bright smile bloomed on her little face, and she greeted everyone sweetly.
Mr. Zheng looked over and his eyes lit up immediately. He waved at the little girl and said with a smile, "Oh my, it turns out to be our lovely little Cao! Come here and let Grandpa Zheng take a good look. It's only been a few years since I last saw you, and you've grown into a graceful young lady. As the saying goes, girls change a lot when they grow up. You become more and more beautiful!"
Grandma Zheng beside her also nodded happily and said, "Oh my, it really is the old lady and Xiaocao'er. I only heard Ming'er talking about it before, but when I saw it today, it's exactly the same as he said!"
"That's right. My husband often mentions you, old lady. He always praises you for your straightforward and cheerful personality. He takes good care of him and often cooks delicious food for him. And my husband always mentions my little sister Xiaocao, saying that she is well-behaved and sensible, and very lovable!" This is Zheng Huaming's wife, Han Wanlin. You can tell from the sound of her voice that her personality is as cheerful as Zheng Huaming's.
A handsome and elegant man stood in front of him, smiling and saying, "Sister, you are Xiaocao'er! I often heard my elder brother mention that the unique designs of backpacks were all made by you." This man was Zheng Huaming's younger brother Zheng Huashen. Now, he and Damao are both editors in the Hanlin Academy.
At this time, another voice echoed: "That's right. Looking back on those days, those bags were all the rage and hard to come by. For those of us who were lucky enough to own them, we attracted so many envious looks from others!"
"Yes, yes, I feel the same way. I remember when I first went out with that bag on my back, the eyes of the people around me were all fixed on it. They were so greedy, it made people very happy!"
The next two who spoke were the two aunts of the Zheng family. When they heard that Old Lady Yang was coming to visit them today, they immediately put down their complicated affairs and rushed back home without stopping. It was also because Qi Xingyun was thoughtful that the gifts he prepared had already included their share. Otherwise, the scene would have become a little awkward.
In fact, all this was due to Qi Xingyun's in-depth understanding of the Zheng family. She knew that every day of rest, the Zheng family's aunts would definitely return home to visit their parents. So making corresponding preparations in advance would never go wrong.
After everyone greeted each other, the men and women separated. This was the custom of a wealthy family. The men followed Mr. Zheng to the outer courtyard, and the women followed Grandma Zheng to the backyard.
After a lively day at the Zheng Mansion, everyone dispersed in the afternoon.
