"I didn't want to tell you this, I'm afraid it will scare you, you're still a child, you shouldn't worry about these things!" Mrs. Zheng Si sighed and touched the top of Xu Shu's head in love, "It's just that now in this situation, I have to tell you, you have a good bottom in your heart, lest you don't know how to deal with it when that Jiao Xi mother comes!" ”

Xu Shu nodded, "Since that Sect Xi Mama is the eyeliner sent by the Empress Dowager, I naturally have to be cautious!" ”

"Although our own family knows that the Zheng family is involved, but the Empress Dowager has no shortage of suspicions about the Zheng family. Mrs. Zheng Si comforted, "If you are wronged, come back and tell me, and I will always get justice for you!" ”

Xu Shu smiled, "Thank you, mother!" ”

"Good boy! Don't have breakfast yet, do you? I'll let them keep the food! The old lady sent someone over early in the morning, and I thought that I would probably ask a few of you juniors to go, so I asked people to keep the meal! ”

"Then I'm going to bother my mother!"

Xu Shu returned to the Begonia Pavilion after finishing breakfast in Pu Yuxuan, and in the second half of the day, Young Master Zheng Qi came over with a book, Yuzhu Yinzhi and others thought that Young Master Zheng Qi was here to give Xu Shu a lecture, and after making tea, they retreated.

Young Master Zheng Qi threw the book on the case, his face was a little heavy, "Yesterday, the ninth sister told me that my father's face was not right when my mother mentioned the official business of Dali Temple, I went to inquire early this morning, Dali Temple does not have any tricky official business recently, but not long ago, the eldest son of the Huang family received the post of Dali Temple, although it is only the official position of Zheng Liupin, but it seems to be very valued by the emperor, and the emperor has named him to do it several times!" ”

"The emperor values the Huang family very much now!" It seems that the emperor's reward for teaching Mama Xi this time is actually mainly to take care of the Huang family's face.

"Expected!" Young Master Zheng Qi smiled a little stunned, "After all, it is King Qing's family-in-law, and King Qing is the only heir of the emperor!" How many people are staring at the only existence, how can the emperor let others covet his only hope, of course he has to personally choose a trustworthy family to assist! ”

"And the Gao family!" Xu Shu added gently, "Since the Gao Daren came back, he has been promoted three times in two years, and now he holds the Ministry of Officials, holding the appointment and dismissal examination of Manchu Dynasty officials, promotion and transfer, in the past, this position has always been held by the descendants of the Deng family!" ”

"The last time King Duan murdered his wife, General Xue, who served as the leader of Yulinwei, was implicated, and the emperor took advantage of the situation to seize the officials who had been held in the hands of the Deng family, and the Deng family was afraid that it would be related to King Duan's murder of his wife, so they didn't dare to resist, and they saw that the tribe was in the hands of the Gao family!"

When King Duan murdered his wife, it was revealed by Zhou Jin's plan, which not only cut off the power of the Deng family rooted in Yulin Weili, but also made the Deng family lose control of the officials, and disintegrated the power of the Deng family little by little. And because of the more and more obvious ambitions of the Deng family, and the increasingly tight control of the Empress Dowager over King Qing, the patience of the Deng family and the Empress Dowager has reached the extreme, Zhou Jin only needs to use a little trick to let the emperor take the initiative to start eradicating the power of the Deng family, and Zhou Jin can properly install his own people at this time, and even only need to replace neutral officials It is beneficial to him, just like the Gao family, although loyal to the emperor, but not loyal to King Qing, let alone loyal to the Deng family, this is enough.

"The ninth sister even knows this, it seems that I still underestimate the ninth sister!" Young Master Zheng Qi exclaimed, knowing that these things are not unusual, but it is really not simple to be able to connect these things together and sort out the relationship between these things!

"Brother Qi can find out about the situation in Dali Temple in half a day, and he can also know that the emperor has appointed Huang Dagongzi to run errands several times, and it is not simple!"

Young Master Zheng Qi smiled, "The ninth sister has won the award, didn't I say it, I know a lot of people, and there happens to be a person who often eats and drinks with Huang Dagongzi, he told me!" ”

"By the way, Brother Seven, you have to hurry up what I told you last night, I've been a little restless lately, and I always feel that something bad will happen!" Xu Shu pressed her chest, she had an ominous premonition after Zheng Wanli was dismissed by the Yue family, and as Zheng Wanli became active again after a short period of silence, this ominous premonition became strong again.

Young Master Zheng Qi glanced at Xu Shu strangely, "Ninth sister, do you mean that your bad feeling has something to do with Seventh Sister?" ”

Xu Shu shook her head, "I don't know either!" It's just that my gut tells me that it's a good thing to let her marry out sooner! ”

"Ninth Sister is such a smart person, and he even believes in what feels like such nonsense?" Young Master Zheng Qi smiled, obviously not taking Xu Shu's words to heart.

Xu Shu said quietly, "Originally, I didn't believe it, but now that the palace has suddenly given a teaching grandmother, I don't think it's nonsense!" ”

The palace suddenly gave a matter of teaching Mama Zheng Qi asked about it, and he also felt very curious, although it was claimed that the Empress Dowager was sympathetic to the hard work of the mothers of various families, and specially gave Mama Xi to teach the daughters of the family, but there were different opinions in the capital, but there was never a unified statement, and Young Master Zheng Qi knew that the arrival of this Mama Zheng was definitely not simple.

"This mama is not just here to teach etiquette, right?"

Xu Shu nodded, "They are eyeliner...... It is the eyeliner that is sent to each family in the open! ”

"Then what is their purpose......

"They are in the palace who are responsible for teaching the etiquette of the show girls in the palace, and the people who came out of the palace this time to teach are all unmarried women in various families, and the family that was given to teach the grandmother this time is also very interesting!"

"What's interesting?"

"The families who were given to teach Mama Xi this time are all people who don't have much to do with the Deng family!"

Young Master Zhengqi's pupils shrank, "Ninth Sister means that these Sectarian Mama are the emperor's ......"

Xu Shu nodded, "Seventh brother, what is the intention of the emperor to send such a teacher to teach the unmarried daughters of other people's families to go to the families of major families?" ”

Young Master Zheng Qi scratched his head, "Is it difficult...... Could it be that the emperor wants to investigate their character? But what's the use of examining the character of these ladies? Could it be that the emperor wants to give them marriage? ”

Xu Shu nodded, "Then whose marriage is worthy of the emperor's attention?" ”

"Celebration...... King Qing? Young Master Zheng Qi had a name in his heart, but he didn't dare to be sure, "But hasn't King Qing already made a marriage contract with Miss Huang Si?" ”

"The candidate for Princess Qing has been decided, but the candidate for the side concubine has not yet been decided!"
