After having dinner with Mrs. Zheng Si, Xu Shu reminded Xu Sheng of some things, and asked about the recent trends of the Xu family and the Wanfeng family, as well as Xu Sheng's daily life. Seeing that there was nothing unusual, someone sent Xu Sheng back and turned back to Pu Yuxuan.

"Mother, I saw my aunt when I came here just now. Is there anything wrong with the aunt coming to find her?"

Mrs. Zheng has "a lot of things to do every day" and rarely comes to the four rooms. It's rare to have a trip today, so something must be a big deal!

Mrs. Zheng Si smiled and said, "For your sixth brother's marriage, let's discuss the betrothal gift!"

"So it's up for this!" No wonder Mrs. Zheng Si was so happy. Since they were discussing the betrothal gift, it seemed that Mrs. Zheng Si was also quite anxious. Miss Qian San was not far away when she entered the door.

"Is the wedding date set?"

"Not yet! It's all for next year!" Mrs. Zheng Si said, "Wait for your father to choose a good day, and then send it to your uncle with the betrothal gift!"

"The betrothal gift must be settled quickly! It's hot, so I'll send betrothal gifts all the way south, and my father will suffer!"

"I have discussed with your father. When the time comes, you will be slower, but you will feel more comfortable! However, the betrothal gifts must be settled as soon as possible. I want to settle all these things before the New Year and just focus on holding a wedding banquet after the New Year!"

"The old example of the fifth brother getting married is still there. I think it is the same for the sixth brother who was given to the official rank, so there is no need to worry!"

Mrs. Zheng Si nodded, "Just just now, your aunt brought the list of the husband-in-law when your fifth brother got married. The things in the husband-in-law are like that. You can't expect too much. I didn't say anything. What the husband-in-law gives is what you want. I will buy it if you lack it. Your sixth brother is the eldest son of my father and you. The first wedding of our fourth wife, my father and you want to do it more lively. The betrothal gifts should not be too light. Otherwise, your other sister-in-law will also look down on your sixth sister-in-law! The amount of this betrothal gift means the position of the new wife in the husband's family! Just like you have nothing to do recently, please help me check the account book and draw out your sixth brother's betrothal gift list as soon as possible. After finishing your work early, we can go to the other courtyard to escape the summer heat!"

"Okay!" Xu Shu agreed, "How did my mother know that I have nothing to do recently?"

Mrs. Zheng Si smiled and said, "Whenever Jin Ling goes to Haitang Pavilion, you either haven't gotten up or have already rested. If you have something to do, how could you be so tired and lazy?"

Xu Shu blushed and said, "I had the Qian family's cousin talking before. Now the Qian family's cousin is back. I have nothing to do every day and no entertainment. I have nothing to do except sleeping!"

Mrs. Zheng Si said, "It just happened to help me check the account book so that you won't be idle!"

After saying that, he asked someone to get the account book and took together with Xu Shu to discuss the betrothal gift from Master Zheng Liu. Xu Shu should not interfere in this kind of thing, but the elders should decide, but Mrs. Zheng Si did not avoid this and also intended to teach Xu Shu some of the gifts, so she wanted to take Xu Shu to read the account book together.

Xu Shu looked at the betrothal gift list for Mrs. Zheng when Mrs. Zheng got married, and still felt that it was okay. Although nothing was particularly precious, everything was still acceptable and he was able to take advantage of it.

But after looking at Mrs. Zheng Si's private account, Xu Shu understood why Mrs. Zheng Si mentioned that things in the public were so disdainful and even disgusted. The Qian family was indeed rich, and Mrs. Zheng Si's dowry was so generous. But then she thought that in order to marry Mrs. Zheng Si, the betrothal gift was not a small amount. After all, with the financial resources of the Qian family, the Zheng family had fewer betrothal gifts, and the Qian family would not see them at all. The Zheng family was also very handsome and decided not to be embarrassed in front of the Qian family, so the betrothal gifts must be given generous enough. It is no wonder that over the years, except for Mrs. Zheng Er, who was selfish, the rest of the Zheng family were polite to Mrs. Zheng Si. After all, Mrs. Zheng Si spent more betrothal gifts to marry her. In the eyes of the Zheng family, Mrs. Zheng Si's status was higher than that of them!

Xu Shu accompanied Mrs. Zheng Si to read the account book for a few days, and finally drafted the betrothal gift list of Mr. Zheng Liu. Mrs. Zheng Si planned to take it to Master Zheng Si to check if there is any place to be modified.

Xu Shu finally got free, and Xu Xian wrote again. As Xu Shu said, Xu Ting really went to find Xu Xian again. Of course, just like the last time she went to find Xu Xian, she pulled Xu Xian to recall her former sisterly love. Unfortunately, Xu Xian didn't like this, and her attitude was always light. Xu Ting was not discouraged. She said on her own, not caring about Xu Xian's coldness.

Xu Ting went back to her parents' home several times in a row, but no one else said anything. Deng Yarong paid attention first and wrote a letter to Xu Shu to talk about this. He was skeptical about Xu Ting's actions when she returned to her parents' home, and always felt that Xu Ting was uneasy.

Xu Shu couldn't help but laugh. Although Deng Yarong was targeting Xu Ting, what Deng Yarong said this time was not right. Xu Ting was indeed uneasy, but what she needed was Xu Ting's uneasy kindness.

As June comes, the weather is getting hotter and hotter. The incident of King Qing has made the capital silent for a while. Although the truth has been revealed, with the hot weather, it is difficult for the capital to resume the lively spring.

At this moment, the emperor suddenly stayed in court for several days. The emperor is not an emperor with great talent. He has little ability and many problems, but he also has advantages, such as diligence. Although the emperor often has inappropriate handling of government affairs today, he has always been diligent in court affairs and will never delay going to court.

The last time the emperor was in charge of the court was when the little prince from Xiangpin died. At this time, the emperor had to pay tribute to the court again. The palace did not give any explanation. I don’t know why the emperor was in charge of the court. For a moment, the court officials couldn’t help but feel uneasy. Some even began to guess that the emperor was in a bad state, some people guessed that the emperor had a bad state in his womb. Some people guessed that the empress dowager was uneasy and that the emperor stopped the court in order to fulfill his filial piety.

On the fourth day of the emperor's courtship, the Empress Dowager appeared in the court, saying that the Empress was ill, and the Emperor and the Empress had a deep affection and were with the Queen and the sickbed, so he was in charge of the court.

Although the ministers were surprised, they did not dare to raise objections. Later, the Empress Dowager issued an imperial edict to ask King Ji and Lord Fu to temporarily handle the government affairs. As soon as this order was issued, the ministers immediately understood as a mirror!

It’s not because the queen is sick, it’s because the emperor’s dragon body is incompatible, and the problem is quite big! The queen is just a cover!
