Chapter 425 Departure
Liu Cui'er lowered her head, her face red, and she said, "Not all of it, I still have five taels left, which is enough. My family is in a difficult situation, so I gave you more this time. I will save it in the future and send some back during the holidays."
Zheng Sisi nodded and said, "Don't worry about them. People in the village are doing well now. Last time, Chen Zhuangtou said that each family has 50 taels of silver in their savings. It's right for you to be filial, but you also have to consider yourself, understand?"
Liu Cui'er said with emotion: "Well, thank you, Princess!"
Zheng Sisi: "I was planning to take you back, but since you have plans, forget it. I will bring the money to you. Go back and have a rest. You have to go to work tomorrow."
Liu Cui'er stood up and bowed to Zheng Sisi: "Thank you, Princess!"
After seeing Liu Cui'er off, Dong Zhi came in to clean the table. She said, "Cui'er has changed a lot recently, especially when she was learning to cook in the kitchen. The cooks all praised her. Now she is also doing very well in the food court."
Zheng Sisi: "Well, I'm glad you can find something you like. Dongzhi, if there's anything you want to do one day, just tell me and I'll let you go."
Dongzhi said aggrievedly: "Princess, do you dislike me?"
Zheng Sisi: "I don't dislike you, I just think that if you have better prospects, you shouldn't stay by my side and waste your future."
Dongzhi said with a smile: "Princess, the four of us have discussed it. Chuntao and Xiahe will help you manage the business, Qiuxiang will help you manage the yard, and I will serve you. We are all your good helpers."
Zheng Sisi: "You are so capable, I am afraid that I will bury your talent."
Dongzhi said, "Princess, please stop talking. I will follow you even if you kill me."
Zheng Sisi: "No, that's too cruel. You can follow me if you want. When we find the right person, I will make the decision for you. Marry into a good family!"
Dongzhi stamped his feet and said, "Princess, you are teasing me again. I won't talk to you anymore." He picked up the empty teacup on the table and went out with a red face.
Leaving Zheng Sisi giggling behind.
The next morning, there was a lot of activity in front of the princess's mansion. The servants and guards were all loading things onto the carriages. No one knew what they were. Zheng Sisi's things filled two carriages, one for Duke Zheng and Madam Zheng, and one for each of the three sisters. Together with the carriages for other people, there were more than a dozen carriages in total, not including the ones for Sheng Zhen and his group.
Zheng Sisi was really upset when she saw this scene. This was much more exaggerated than other people's moving. Some people with less belongings could just fit into a flatbed truck, but they were away for a month and their luggage could form a convoy.
It’s too late for everyone to stop carrying so much now, so we can only accept the reality.
Zheng Sisi announced the departure, and Nanny Li and the servants in the mansion waved goodbye reluctantly at the door, reminding everyone to be careful.
When the carriage team arrived at the gate of the Third Prince's mansion, the Third Prince and Zhong Ruiyu were already waiting there. Seeing the carriage team coming, Sheng Zhen gave the order to set off.
The large army was not moving in a hurry in the city. When people on the street saw such a large convoy, they thought it was from some trading company. But when they saw that the carriage in the front was that of the Third Prince, they stopped talking.
After leaving the capital and walking on the official road, several people changed carriages. Zheng Zhiyuan invited his grandfather to ride in the third prince's carriage. Old Duke Zheng didn't want to squeeze with them young people. He hadn't ridden a horse for a long time and felt a little itchy. Later, he heard that people could play mahjong in the past, and they were faster than Zheng Zhiyuan.
The look on Old Duke Zheng's face made the girls behind him laugh out loud.
Old Madam Zheng also wanted to play mahjong, and Dongzhi kindly offered it to her. At this time, Zheng Sisi had to admire Dongzhi's thorough preparation. However, even if Zheng Sisi didn't bring these, she could still solve them, as she had some in her space.
In Sheng Zhen's carriage, several people were playing mahjong very smoothly, and a low square table was very stable.
Duke Zheng said, "Zhen'er, your carriage is great. It doesn't shake at all when driving on the official road, and it won't fall over on the mahjong table."
Sheng Zhen smiled and played a mahjong tile: "40,000, Grandfather, it's not my carriage that's good, it's the road here that's good."
Duke Zheng Lao drew a card and said, "Impossible. Am I not familiar with this road? It is repaired every year, but there are too many carriages and horses passing through it. It soon became rotten again. It is really that it is repaired every year and it becomes rotten every year."
Sheng Zhen said confidently: "That was in the past. Don't worry about it now, Grandfather. If you don't believe me, you can see for yourself."
Duke Zheng Lao did not believe it. He said, "I have never seen a road that is not rotten. When was this road repaired this year?"
Sheng Zhen: “Almost three months.”
Duke Zheng lifted the curtain and looked outside. He was shocked to see that the color of the road was different from ordinary roads and it was very flat without any potholes.
