Chapter 243 I am also looking forward to who your other half will be

There are many silver shops and embroidery shops in the county town, large and small, standing on both sides of the streets, as well as rouge and powder shops, and various snack shops.

There are also shops selling furs here, but the customers are not locals, but mostly merchants from outside.

When she was ready to go back, she bought some useful things for her family.

When we arrived at Cheng’s Zuixianju, it had not opened for business yet, but the door of the shop was already open.

As soon as Wen Zhen walked into the store, he saw several people sitting in the lobby and yawning: "You all got up so early?"

Lei Yingying and Song Huanhuan perked up immediately upon hearing her voice. They stood up from their chairs and walked over to her. “You came here without even telling me, and you just asked someone to bring us some snacks.”

"You all know why I came here."

Song Yi and the others also came over at this time: "Thank you for troubling me this time."

"Master Song Yi, you're too polite. I also received the money."

"Are you doing this for the money?" Song Yi raised his eyebrows and looked at her.

Wen Zhenyi smiled and gestured with his hands: "We still have a little bit of friendship."

Song Yi rolled his eyes at her.

Cheng Lesheng pointed to the kitchen at the back and said, "Everything you want is prepared for you. Fresh ingredients will be delivered tomorrow morning."

"Okay, I'll go to the kitchen and take a look." Then he walked towards the kitchen.

Lei Jiayang looked at them and said, "See, I told you it would be useless to come here. She's quite busy."

Lei Yingying looked at her brother: "You forgot what Dad said."

Lei Jiayang looked embarrassed and could only look at Cheng Lesheng: "Lesheng, help me."

"Everything else is easy to talk about, but I really can't help you with this matter. You can only talk to her yourself. She has the final say whether she is willing or not."

Lei Jiayang had no choice but to wait for her in the hall.

Cheng Lesheng instructed the shopkeeper to make sure the chefs at tomorrow's banquet followed Zhenyi's instructions.

Wen Zhenyi went to the kitchen to check the ingredients and handed over the ones that needed to be processed in advance to the chef. As for the rest that didn't need to be arranged, she could come over tomorrow and cook them directly.

When she came out of the kitchen, she saw several people still in the hall. She walked over to them and sat down. "Tell me, what's the matter?"

Lei Yingying: "How do you know something's wrong?"

"It's okay. Why are you getting up so early and waiting for me here?"

"Can't we just say we haven't seen each other for a long time and want to see you?"

"Now that we've met, it's okay. I can leave now. I still have some things to do."

"No, no, no." Lei Yingying winked at Lei Jiayang, signaling him to speak.

Lei Jiayang coughed lightly. Usually, others would ask them for help, but now they were asked to beg others, which made them feel a little embarrassed.

Wen Zhenyi waited for them to speak, but after waiting for a long time, he didn't say a word: "It's okay? It's okay, am I really leaving?"

"No, something happened." Lei Jiayang still spoke.

"What's up?"

"My grandmother is here, and it just so happens to be her birthday these few days. We were planning to come and take pictures of the banquet." He looked at the Song Yi siblings with a somewhat unfriendly look: "It's because of the Song family that the price is so high."

Song Yi touched his nose and said, "Brother Lei, this really can't be blamed on us two siblings. We didn't know about this until after the fact."

Lei Jiayang turned to look at Wen Zhenyi: "My grandmother has come all the way from the capital, and we want to celebrate her birthday, so we'd like you to prepare a feast for her."

Wen Zhenyi looked at the two of them with a smile: "Is this your idea, or is it the county magistrate's idea?"

"What's the difference?"

"have."

"It's my father. He was going to come and invite us personally today, but he had some urgent business to attend to, so he asked the two of us to come."

"when?"

"My grandmother's birthday is the day after tomorrow."

Wen Zhenyi lowered her head and thought for a while. If she agreed, she would need to stay in the county town for one more day, which was not a big problem.

"What specifications do you want?"

"We are not as wealthy as the Song family. We can just use simple home-cooked dishes and let grandma have something she has never eaten before."

"One tael of silver, I'll write a list of ingredients, and you can buy them."

When Lei Yingying heard this, she happily hugged her and said, "Yiyi, I knew you were the best."

"Okay, if you have nothing else to do, come over tomorrow to get the menu. I really have something to do today."

"Okay, I'll come early tomorrow morning. When will you go back?"

"I'll leave after I finish preparing the feast for your grandmother."

"You couldn't stay two more days."

"I still have a lot of things to deal with, so I have to go back."

"Then please take some time out these two days to get together with us."

"I can only try my best."

Lei Yingying and the others nodded: "Okay."

Several people stood up and prepared to leave the restaurant.

Song Huanhuan fell behind a little and pulled Wen Zhenyi's sleeve.

Wen Zhenyi paused and turned to look at her: "Huanhuan, what's wrong?"

Song Huanhuan saw the people ahead walk away, then she whispered, "Don't take it to heart if my in-laws complain about anything tomorrow."

"You know they're picky?"

Song Huanhuan's face was a little bitter: "They have been picky for a long time. They are not very satisfied with me in the first place."

Wen Zhenyi frowned slightly. Song Huanhuan's appearance was not outstanding, but she was definitely not ugly. She was a very gentle woman and spoke softly.

Maybe it has something to do with her upbringing, which makes her a little more introverted than the others.

"It's other people's business to criticize you, just live your own life well."

Song Huanhuan nodded: "Okay, I'm just worried that they might say something unpleasant and make you feel uncomfortable."

"I'm not someone who will swallow my anger." Wen Zhenyi said and winked at her mischievously.

Song Huanhuan was stunned at first, then chuckled: "I wish I were you."

"If you were me, you'd be as tired as me."

Song Yi was already at the door: "Sister."

Song Huanhuan looked up and said, "I'm leaving now. If you're free these two days, you have to get together with us."

"Okay, I'll remember that. I'll try to make time." Wen Zhenyi watched the Lei and Song families get on the carriage.

Cheng Lesheng opened his folding fan and shook it: "Why do you want to get married so early?"

Wen Zhenyi turned around and looked at him: "That's because Master Cheng spoils you, otherwise you should have gotten married."

Cheng Lesheng chuckled: "My old man understands me."

"I'm looking forward to seeing who your significant other will be."

"Now that you mention it, I'm looking forward to it too."

"I'm leaving. I'll come back tomorrow."

"I'll take you wherever you want to go."

"No, I'm going to my aunt's shop."

"Okay, I'll be in the store tomorrow too." After saying that, Cheng Lesheng got on the carriage and left.

Wen Zhenyi went to Geng Ru's shop leisurely. It was still early, but many diners had already come to buy herbal tea.
