The spirit in the fourth prince's eyes had faded and he returned to his regular appearance. "If you say goodbye to your father, it's delicious."

"oh?"

The emperor did not stop and sat down in the room. The palace maid immediately brought the tea carefully, placed it on the table beside him, and bowed and retreated.

"What's the delicious way? Tell me about it."

"It's all my son has never eaten it. There are a few dishes that are slightly spicy. Erchen ate two steamed buns and a bowl of rice."

The emperor laughed, Concubine Xiao Xian and the fourth prince lowered their heads, but they didn't see his smile at all. "When did the Xu family have such a good cook? They even compare the dishes in the imperial kitchen in the palace."

"It's not the chef in the mansion, it's made by Song Wanyue."

"Song Wanyue? She can cook?"

Before the fourth prince could answer, he said again, "I asked nonsense. Since she could figure out something as rare as hot pot base, she would naturally be able to cook."

"After having dinner, my son even made a plate with her, and he lost a lot."

"oh?"

The emperor's voice stretched, "Can she still play chess?"

The fourth prince nodded, "The teacher said she is the same as the old man."

If it was someone else, the emperor would definitely think it was an exaggeration. If Xu Yan could say such words, it would definitely be true.

"Do you still remember the game?"

The fourth prince nodded again.

"Review it, Father and see."

Concubine Xiao Xian ordered someone to set up a chessboard. The fourth prince held a blackzi in his left hand and a whitezi in his right hand. Heizi left the third son first, and then walked step by step.

After reading it, the emperor smiled in an unknown way, "It's a pity to attack directly when he comes up."

What a pity, he didn't say anything, but Concubine Xiao felt nervous, but she didn't show her face. She smiled and changed the topic, "I want to ask the emperor for grace."

"explain."

"I want to wait for Yao'er to see her off the day she gets married."

The emperor narrowed his eyes.

This is the first time since entering the palace. Concubine Xiao Xian has requested to leave the palace.

"I can only see Yao'er growing up and want to send her off in person, so that Song Si can support her, so that if she dares to let Yao'er down in the future, I will not be able to spare him!"

The emperor suddenly smiled, "Song Si refused to even give me my marriage for the sake of your niece, so how could he bully your niece?"

"By the way, when it comes to Princess Six, I come here to let you manage her marriage."

"I'm responsible?"

Concubine Xiao Xian was surprised.

"I don't like Concubine Shu now, and I don't want to see her at first sight. I asked the Imperial Heaven to calculate the day. On the sixth day of the twelfth lunar month, you will do it. Just tell me what you need."

Concubine Xiao Xian stood up, "Yes."

...

The eldest prince’s mansion.

When he heard that the fourth prince went to Xu'er's mansion today, the eldest prince walked around the house a few times and called the butler, "Did Zheng Fan find Xu Ling'er?"

The housekeeper bent over, "There is no news from the prince yet, so it shouldn't be found."

"Tell him that even if he digs three feet into the ground, he will find the person."

...

The second prince also received the news, but it was not as anxious as the eldest prince. His breakthrough was Song Wanyue. As long as he took Song Wanyue, the Xu family would be in his pocket.

...

October 16.

When the Song family arrived in the capital, Song Shen and Erya also came. This was what Song Wanyuelin had specially instructed to let them come over to see the world.

Song Shen lifted the curtains of the small window and looked out. Erya squeezed over and looked out.

Even in winter, it is still very prosperous, with shops on both sides of the street, hawking and shouting together.

Erya didn't blink for a moment and said childishly, "Second brother, the capital is so good."

Song Shen also felt that the capital was good and it was very prosperous everywhere, but when he thought of those nobles who could not afford to offend, he didn't think it was better. He pretended to be mature and touched Erya's head, "It's just a little bigger, and the rest are similar to our Qingping County."

Erya didn't know what was attracted to, and her eyes were about to stick to her, and she nodded with no thoughts.

The carriage went all the way to Nancheng and stopped in front of the pastry shop's courtyard.

Before everyone got off the carriage, they heard noisy voices. Erya couldn't wait to lift the curtain and whisper, "Many people!"

Everyone saw it, and naturally smiled happily.

Song Wanyue told the shop people early in the morning that her family would come over the next few days to make them pay more attention. The guy selling pastries at the door saw two carriages parked there and hurriedly told Huang Gao.

Huang Gao quickly came out of the inside, led the person in, and told the clerk to go to the Xu family to tell Song Wanyue.

...

In the Ministry of Revenue, several officials looked at each other, walked to Song Si's table with a smile, and chatted, "Sir, why haven't you heard you were hired?"

When people in Beijing get married, they usually make appointments after booking a date so that the woman can prepare a dowry based on the betrothal gift. Song Si saw that she was about to get married in ten days, but she has not yet been hired.

Song Si had no airs of being an official, got along with them "very well" and replied with a smile, "It's time to go to the next day."

"The day after tomorrow..."

The speaker looked at the other people, "Do you need our help? We should be fine that day."

"OK."

Song Si smiled and replied, "You know that there are not many servants in my family. I am worried that no one will carry the betrothal gift, but I will trouble you. I will invite you to drink in the future."

"No trouble, no trouble."

...

The Song family rested for a day.

October 18th.

Before dawn, all the Song family got up. Grandma Song's first thing was to go to the west wing to see the betrothal gifts.

She was carried here from the Xu family yesterday, and she was afraid of something going on, so she was very alert when she slept all night.

When Song Wanyue saw her movements, she followed her with a smile, and stood at the door and joked, "Grandma, brother is the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. As long as he has eyes, he dare not steal it."

That being said, Grandma Song was still worried. She opened the lid one by one and then closed it with confidence and said, "That's not sure, this is still under the feet of the emperor. Are there any people who kill and set fire?"

Song Wanyue smiled.

After dinner, Grandma Song urged Song Si to change her clothes, and Xu and Song Lin also came over and brought some servants from the Xu family.

Chen Shichu, the people who came to help from the Ministry of Revenue also arrived. Seeing eighteen boxes in the yard, several people looked at each other and smiled at Song Si, "Sir, you are so charming."

Eighteen Promotions, usually only the powerful families can hire so many people. For those like them, the eight-promotions will be overwhelming when they are hired.

A crisp sound came from the side, "Our workshop has a lot of money every day. If it weren't for the fact that life was a little hurry, it wouldn't be the only one who could have carried eighteen."

Several people looked over and saw a little girl standing at the door of the house, smiling at them.

The few people immediately guessed who it was, and they suddenly felt a sudden heart. They smiled quickly and said, "You are Miss Song, you have heard of your name for a long time."

Song Wanyue nodded with a smile, "Please come and help me. Let my elder brother invite you to drink somewhere else."

In the middle of the hour.

Everyone carried the betrothal gifts out, attracting many people along the way. They were about to reach Xiao Mansion, and a person from the Ministry of Revenue suddenly slid under his feet and staggered for a moment. The person behind him couldn't hold his feet steady, and the lifting rod slid down, the box fell to the ground, the lid bounced open, and the things inside were exposed.
