Chapter 383 2 Happy Events
In the dining room, the people waiting to eat saw them coming in, and Zhong Ruiyu started yelling, "Hurry up, I'm starving."
Zheng Zhiyuan saw the jar that Sheng Zhen was holding and asked, "Ah Zhen, what are you holding? Are you going to treat us to a drink today?"
In the County Lady's Mansion, Zheng Sisi can provide unlimited delicious food, but she will not prepare any wine for them, so they can only go outside if they want to drink.
So when they were craving for wine, they would go to Yingbinlou to have a bite to eat. Because the dishes in other places were no longer palatable to many people, as Zheng Sisi had spoiled them.
Duke Zheng, who was sitting at the top, twitched his nose a few times and said, "It smells like wine."
Yes, Duke Zheng and his wife moved into the County Lord's Mansion. Duke Zheng said righteously that his granddaughter had suffered in the past, and now they and their wife were going to take care of her.
As for coming to the County Lord's Mansion, there was no reason for Madam Zheng to disagree. She immediately packed her bags and rushed to the County Lord's Mansion with her people.
Zheng Sisi was also very welcoming. With the old lady in the house, it became more lively. So, under the pretext of taking care of their granddaughter, the two of them stayed there with good reason.
There were different delicacies every day, which made Duke Zheng go crazy with joy. He showed off every day, which made Emperor Yongshun dislike him very much, and that’s why he said those words to Sheng Zhen in the imperial study.
Sheng Zhen put the wine jar on the table and called the maid to bring the wine glasses.
He said happily: "There are two happy events today, so please have a drink to celebrate."
Everyone looked at him with burning eyes. Zhong Ruiyu asked, "What's the good news? Tell us quickly."
Sheng Zhen cleared his throat and said, "The manager of Sisi Manor came to report today that the first season's rice harvest was great. The yield of the grain seeds Sisi brought reached more than 1,170 kilograms, and the yield of the grain seeds that Manor kept using the planting method Sisi taught also reached more than 650 kilograms per mu."
The young people had no idea about the harvest. They had lived a life of luxury since birth and had no idea about the price of firewood, rice, oil and salt, nor had they ever been hungry. It was only after following Zheng Sisi that they saw what rice looked like and learned that fertilizer was needed to grow crops.
But Duke Zheng and his wife knew it very well, especially since Duke Zheng had been fighting in wars before and sometimes the food and grass supply was not timely and he had to go out to collect food and grass himself. He was very clear about the grain production.
Hearing the number Sheng Zhen said, the two of them hissed, then took a deep breath. Old Duke Zheng laughed and said, "This is a good thing, a great thing for the whole country, we should celebrate, haha!"
Madam Zheng also said: "With higher grain production, the people's food and clothing problems can be solved, and people will no longer starve to death in the future."
Zheng Sisi and Sheng Zhen also nodded, especially Zheng Sisi, who originally wanted to farm in order to solve the problem of food and clothing for everyone.
Li Ziyan asked again: "Third Prince, this is the first happy event, what is the second happy event?"
Sheng Zhen and Zheng Sisi looked at each other. At this time, Zheng Sisi felt a little shy. She blushed and lowered her head.
Everyone looked confused, but Sheng Zhen looked very happy and cheerful.
Sheng Zhen thought about what to say and said, "Today, I mentioned my marriage to Sisi to my father and asked him to grant us the marriage. He agreed. The imperial decree will be issued in a few days. I beg grandpa and grandma to agree to my marriage with Sisi."
As he said this, Sheng Zhen stood up and bowed deeply to the two old men, hoping to get their consent to hand Sisi over to him with confidence.
Everyone was shocked. Several young people went in and out together every day. Although they felt that there was something ambiguous between the two, they did not expect that it had developed to the point of being granted marriage. At the same time, several people were sincerely happy for the two and wished them well.
Zhong Ruiyu applauded and said, "Congratulations, this is a great event, you should have told us earlier."
The others also applauded and said congratulations.
Duke Zheng and Madam Zheng had heavy expressions on their faces. They looked at each other and then at Zheng Sisi, and found that their granddaughter was lowering her head with the shy look of a little girl. It seemed that this was the result of their discussion.
The granddaughter was too capable and had her own ideas. No one could stop her from doing what she wanted to do. She had suffered a lot in the past, but now she was living a good life. The two old people hoped that their granddaughter would always be happy. They also didn't know whether the third prince was the right man.
Moreover, the County Lady's Mansion now has only one master, Zheng Sisi, and there is not even a person in charge. The Xie Mansion has also cut off the relationship, so it is reasonable for the Third Prince to propose to the two of them now.
