Chapter 301 Madam Gu Arrives
The few of them had not been chatting in the reception room for long when a maid came in to report that Old Madam Gu had come to visit.
Zheng Sisi and the others stood up, and Zheng Sisi said to Madam Zheng, "Grandma, please wait here for a while. I will go out to greet Madam Gu."
Madam Zheng thought about it and said, “Okay, Sisi, you have considered it carefully. Grandma will wait for you here, hehe!”
When Zheng Sisi arrived at the door, Old Madam Gu had already gotten off the carriage and was standing beside her with her daughter-in-law and grandson. The nanny beside her was directing the servants to move the gifts.
Zheng Sisi was very surprised when she saw the gifts being carried by the servants. Was Madam Gu moving? Where should she put the gifts in two carriages? She went to greet them: "Madam Gu, Madam Gu, hello Jing'er, it's great that you are here. Why do you bring so many things? Tell everyone to stop moving."
After that, she knelt down and bowed. Madam Gu and her daughter-in-law turned around after hearing her voice. They also wanted to bow to Zheng Sisi: "I pay my respects to the Princess of Anping County."
Zheng Sisi stepped forward and lifted up Madam Gu with one hand, saying, "Madam, please don't embarrass me. You all have imperial decrees. I am just a small county lady and a junior, so I cannot afford your gift."
Madam Gu said with a smile: "Princess Anping, you are just being modest. There have never been any princesses in history who have been given fiefs. Even some princesses and princesses don't have fiefs, so don't look down on yourself. Besides, this gift cannot be wasted."
"Auntie, Jing'er greets you," Jing'er said in a baby voice, and solemnly knelt down to Zheng Sisi: "Thank you, auntie, for saving my life!"
Jing'er's actions made Zheng Sisi laugh and cry. In the end, Zheng Sisi only accepted the gift from Jing'er and invited the three of them to the reception room. Old Madam Gu insisted on moving the gifts into the county lord's mansion. She said, "These things are not worth much money. They are just our little thoughts. If the county lord doesn't mind, please accept them." Zheng Sisi had no choice but to accept them and give more gifts in return later.
The two old ladies were old acquaintances, but as they grew older, they had less time to meet each other. After exchanging a few pleasantries, Old Lady Gu took Old Lady Zheng's hand and praised Zheng Sisi, which made Old Lady Zheng laugh.
Zheng Sisi just listened at the side. Sometimes she felt that Madam Gu was not talking about her. The person Madam Gu was talking about was too perfect!
Zheng Sisi couldn't get a word in, so she waved to Jing'er, who obediently ran over and snuggled up to her. Zheng Sisi asked, "Jing'er, does your throat still hurt today?"
Jing'er shook her head: "Aunt, I don't feel any pain anymore. I drank bitter medicine yesterday and today, and now I don't feel any pain at all. Aunt, the candy you gave Jing'er yesterday was so sweet!"
Zheng Sisi found his mature look very funny and tempted him, "Well, Jing'er, do you still want to eat sweet candy?"
Jing'er was only four or five years old, and he was at the age when he liked to eat candy. When he heard that there was candy, he swallowed his saliva, turned back to look at his grandmother and mother, and said awkwardly, "I want to eat, but I can't ask my aunt for it. It's impolite."
Zheng Sisi rubbed his little head: "You are a little adult, haha! Auntie likes Jing'er, what should I do if I want to give Jing'er candy?"
Jing'er's eyes lit up, and he turned back to ask his mother, "Mom, can I have some candy from my aunt?"
Madam Gu said, "You little greedy cat, don't you usually dislike eating candy?"
Jing'er lowered her head shyly, and her appearance amused everyone.
Zheng Sisi said to Dongzhi, "Dongzhi, go get some plates of candy."
Dongzhi followed the order and went to the side room to get the candy. Now Zheng Sisi will hand over some inconspicuous things to a few maids to manage.
She said to Madam Gu, "Madam, this candy of mine is not the candy on the market, but the milk candy I made myself. It is very sweet and not greasy, and very nutritious. Children like it. You can try it later."
She said to Jing'er, "Jing'er, when you go back, your aunt will give you some candies, but you can only eat one candy a day. If you eat too much candy, worms will grow on your candy, and the worms will eat your teeth. Without teeth, you won't be handsome anymore."
Jing'er nodded and assured, "Auntie, I only eat one a day. I can't bear to finish such good candy all at once." Jing'er's words made everyone laugh again.
