Chapter 536 4 Pavilion
Moreover, the person who cooked the porridge seemed to have poor cooking skills or was lazy when cooking the porridge, and the porridge was burnt and gave off a strange smell. This poor performance naturally attracted the ridicule and mockery of the people who came to get the porridge.
The eldest princess was furious about all this and beat up all the people who participated in distributing porridge. However, Zheng Sisi knew nothing about these things. At this moment, she was gathering with a group of relatives and friends in the mansion, enjoying a happy time.
Today's birthday party was really lively! Not only did relatives and friends come to congratulate, but even my cousin came with her family, which made Zheng Sisi feel particularly surprised.
What was even more unexpected was that the old lady of the Gu Mansion also came to the scene with her daughter-in-law and grandson Jing'er. Zheng Sisi had always been puzzled about how the old lady knew her birthday. It was not until later that she learned from her grandmother that it turned out that her grandmother had revealed the news when chatting with others.
Zheng Sisi was naturally very excited to have so many children at home. She couldn't wait to take out her long-treasured jumping chess and colored pens to share this joy with the children.
These novel toys immediately aroused the children's strong interest. Their eyes sparkled with curiosity and they were full of longing for these toys they had never seen before. Looking at the children's envious expressions, Zheng Sisi felt a sense of accomplishment.
Zheng Sisi smiled and said to the children, "As long as you behave and don't fight, I will ask the Third Prince to prepare a gift like this for each of you later."
Hearing this, the children showed their expectant expressions and rushed to raise their hands, saying that they would be good and would never quarrel or fight with others. Zheng Sisi was very pleased to see the children so well-behaved and sensible.
After teaching the children to play hopscotch, Zheng Sisi discovered that her cousin's little daughter seemed to have a special liking for colored pens and kept holding them tightly and refused to let go.
Zheng Sisi couldn't help but sigh: As expected, girls are born with a unique preference for beautiful things, no matter where they are!
After calming the children, Zheng Sisi invited a group of noble ladies to sit around the mahjong table and began to teach them how to play mahjong. After a period of study, these noble ladies gradually mastered the rules and techniques and became addicted to it.
Zheng Sisi smiled and told everyone: "I have already found a shop in Beijing and plan to open a mahjong parlor called 'Sifang Hall'. It will be open in a few days, please be sure to come and support us."
Everyone burst into laughter when they heard the news. My aunt said happily, "Sisi, we were just discussing how to persuade you to open a place dedicated to playing mahjong. I didn't expect you to have a plan. That's great! This way, we will have a good place to go for our gatherings in the future."
Mrs. Li Shangshu said excitedly: "I used to be eager to learn it when I heard Master and Zi Yan mention it. Now that I have learned it myself, of course I have to find someone to practice with more often, haha!"
Everyone nodded in understanding. After all, they were all officials and had their own things to do. Zheng Sisi opened a mahjong parlor, which not only satisfied everyone's entertainment needs, but also provided a place for communication and interaction.
Grandma agreed, "It's really good to open this shop. I don't have to worry about not having anyone to play mahjong with me anymore."
Then, she said with a hint of complaint: "You don't know, these girls are too busy on weekdays and can't spare the time to play mahjong with me. When I feel like playing, I can only ask the maids to play with me."
Everyone laughed when they heard this: "I never thought the Duke's wife was so addicted to mahjong."
"You may not know this. Sisi said that playing Padme Away and Mahjong often can stimulate the brain. If you don't let your brain rest, you will become a fool." said the Duke's wife.
Her theory caused everyone to laugh again. The Duke's wife thought that no one believed her, so she hurriedly said, "I'm not wrong, Sisi girl, that's what you mean."
Seeing her grandmother getting anxious, Zheng Sisi helped explain, "Grandma is right. The more you use your brain, the smarter it gets. Especially for the elderly, their brains will slowly degenerate. If you live a leisurely life without thinking about things every day, you will soon forget things from the past. This is called Alzheimer's disease in medicine, so you have to use your brain. Playing Paideka and mahjong is also a way to prevent Alzheimer's disease."
After hearing this, everyone finally understood why the Duke's wife liked to play cards. It turned out there was such a saying and she was not just making it up to amuse everyone.
