Chapter 492 Uncle 4
The atmosphere in the carriage was extremely lively, and everyone was talking excitedly, not affected at all by the upcoming separation. Everyone was full of anticipation and couldn't wait to embark on this journey again.
The scenery outside the car window passed by quickly, as if celebrating with them. From time to time, bursts of cheerful laughter came from the car, making the whole space full of vitality and energy.
As the road was flat, the carriage traveled very smoothly and returned to the capital in just over two hours. The huge convoy slowly stopped and finally stopped in front of the Princess's Mansion.
Zheng Sisi warmly invited everyone to have a meal in the mansion before going home. This time, everyone brought back many exquisite snacks made in the workshop. These delicacies are not yet available in Beijing, so everyone is eager to take them home to share this unique delicacy with their families.
So, everyone decided to put the luggage in the car first and go directly to the Princess's Mansion to enjoy a sumptuous lunch.
The dishes had not yet been served. At this moment, a maid walked into the reception room and reported to Zheng Sisi: "Princess, the fourth uncle of the Duke's Mansion is here to visit."
Upon hearing the news, Zheng Sisi was bewildered. She didn't know who this fourth uncle was.
However, Old Madam Zheng stood up excitedly and asked in a trembling voice: "You said the fourth uncle is here?" Obviously, for Old Madam Zheng, this fourth uncle has a special meaning.
Seeing her grandmother so happy and the other people in the Duke's Mansion also excited, Zheng Sisi realized that the fourth uncle was her fourth uncle. She hurriedly said, "Please come in!"
Not long after, two figures, one big and one small, appeared at the entrance of the hall. When they saw the people in the hall, the small figure rushed into the house as fast as a cannonball, shouting excitedly: "Grandfather, grandmother, cousin, Haoer misses you so much!"
Madam Zheng smiled widely and quickly reached out to catch this cheerful "little cannonball". She asked gently, "Hao'er, you miss your grandfather and grandmother so much. Did you listen to the teacher? Did the teacher criticize you?"
Haoer blinked his bright big eyes and answered proudly: "Yes, I miss you very much! Haoer is very obedient, and the teacher even praised me! Today is a day off, so I have time to come with my fourth uncle to see you." His childish voice was full of childishness and innocence.
At the same time, the man who came in with them also came forward and respectfully saluted to the old Duke Zheng and the old Madam Zheng, and said in a sincere tone: "I, the unfilial son, pay my respects to my father and mother!"
But Duke Zheng’s face was tense, and he said seriously: “Do you still remember to go home? You have been away from home for more than a year. If we hadn’t taken the initiative to write to you, I’m afraid you would have never planned to come back!”
Zheng Laosi showed an awkward smile on his face, scratched his head and explained: "No way, father, you misunderstood. In fact, when I received the letter, I had already made preparations for my return trip. Moreover, I came back specially to celebrate my mother's birthday!"
Madam Zheng rolled her eyes at Duke Zheng and complained, "Old Fourth is back, why are you still nagging? Don't nag him away again."
Old Duke Zheng was so angry that he fumed. He felt that he had reasons, but every time it was this old woman who protected and spoiled him. As a result, his fourth son is still a bachelor. He is in his twenties and has not yet married. He has become an outcast in the capital and a joke in the Duke's Mansion.
Old Madam Zheng ignored him, stood up and took her fourth son's hand, her eyes a little moist, and said in a trembling voice: "It's good that you're back... It's good that you're back. Come, recognize your niece," Old Madam Zheng said while waving at Zheng Sisi.
"Sisi, come and see your fourth uncle."
Zheng Sisi was talking to Hao'er. When she heard her grandmother's call, she stood up quickly, then walked to Madam Zheng obediently, knelt down and shouted, "Hello, Fourth Uncle!"
Although Zheng Laosi travels abroad all year round, he has a good appearance, is tall and handsome, has an elegant temperament, and looks gentle and refined, not at all like a businessman.
He had been back in Beijing for several days. He had thought that his father and mother would be delighted to see him, but when he returned home he discovered that the house was unusually deserted.
After asking, I found out that my father and mother took their two nephews and niece and followed my niece to the farm in Qingshui County.
And in the past few days, what he heard most in the mansion was people's praise for his niece.
Zheng Laosi didn't have much impression of his niece. He only remembered that she disappeared after falling out with the Duke's Mansion. But now she suddenly returned and seemed to have a very close relationship with the Duke's Mansion. This made him wonder, "Is there another hidden story behind what happened back then?"
