Xiao Zheng's arm turned in mid-air and rested on Zhou Shu's shoulder, "What distinguished guest?" Do you and I still use this kind of meeting? ”

hugged him, leaned into his ear and whispered, "The new sister-in-law doesn't look bad." ”

"It's none of your business." Zhou Shu quickly replied, and raised his voice and said slowly, "One yard is one yard, the number of etiquette that should be fulfilled is still fulfilled, the prince of the world, please sit down and be bowed by our husband and wife." ”

Xiao Zheng let go of him with a smile, glanced over his shoulder and glanced at Jian Ying, seeing that she always lowered her eyes and did not look at herself, she said in her heart, "This is another boring woman", and returned to her seat and sat down.

Jian Ying greeted Zhou Shu again and gave Xiao Zheng a bowl of tea.

Xiao Zheng took the tea and took a sip, only then suddenly remembered something, "I only rushed to meet my new sister-in-law, but I forgot that I was going to meet the gift, and I didn't even wear a jade pendant, how can this be good?" ”

While talking, he groped around on his body.

Jian Ying intuitively felt that this person was deliberate, and since she knew that there were rules for giving a meeting gift, she should have prepared early. If you really forgot to prepare, don't say it, who should say it?

I was afraid that if I opened my mouth and said something that would make him unable to get off the stage, it would be detrimental to his virtue, so he smiled and said nothing.

Zhou Shu said politely for her: "The prince can come to drink a glass of wedding wine, which is the biggest meeting gift for us, so why do you need to prepare anything else?" ”

King Ji'an and others nodded in agreement, saying something like "full of brilliance" and "honored".

Xiao Zheng seemed to be out of interest, lazily responded a few words, and did not mention making up for this stubble afterwards.

Jian Ying didn't know that she still had such a "little uncle" who owed a beating, and of course she didn't prepare his meeting gift. In this way, it is not a debt of the two.

With Zhou Shu turned to the right, he served tea to the king of Ji'an and the princess of Ji'an.

The king of Ji'an gave a red seal, and I don't know how many silver tickets were in it. The daughter-in-law he picked himself, he was naturally satisfied, and his attitude was very kind.

"If you suffer any grievances from the second child in the future, tell me, I will teach him a lesson for you."

"Thank you, father, the second young master treats me very well." Jian Ying replied with a smile.

Since they met, it was the first time that Zhou Shu had seen her show such a little daughter's expression, staring at her reddened earlobes with some gaffe, and couldn't tell for a moment whether she was acting with the shy person in front of her, or she was acting with calm and self-control in the face of him.

Zhou Zhenzhong saw Zhou Shu looking at the bride in a trance, and the old man was very relieved, and said in his heart that it seemed that this daughter-in-law had chosen the right one. can attract the second child, and it is expected to bring his unbearable problem over.

Fang Jingzhi also had two hopes because of his actions, and was very kind to Jian Ying, taking her hand and telling softly, "You have just entered the mansion, I don't know you very well, if there is anything that is not well taken care of, please bear more."

What do you like to eat, what are you used to, or the people in the house are disrespectful to you, you must not work hard to endure yourself, just come and sue me, and I will try my best to help you arrange for disposal. ”

Jian Ying blessed herself and said: "My daughter-in-law just entered the door, and there are many things I don't understand, so I have to go to my mother and concubine from time to time in the future to ask for advice." I'm afraid I'm afraid that I'll go too many times and bother my mother. ”

"How so?" Fang Jingzhi smiled more and more kindly, "I'm worried that no one can talk to relieve my boredom, it's best for you to accompany me." ”

"Then the daughter-in-law is not welcome." Jian Ying's words are playful and authentic.

Fang Jingzhi was amused by her words, shook her hand again and again, turned her head and smiled at King Ji'an: "When I entered the door just now, I only thought she was a shy person who didn't like to talk. This was revealed in a few words, and it turned out to be a clever and funny person. ”

King Ji'an stroked his beard with his hand, nodded and smiled: "It seems that the princess and the second daughter-in-law are quite compatible, so you should be closer in the future."

If there is anything that the second daughter-in-law doesn't understand, princess, you bother to teach her; The second daughter-in-law also often goes to Jingguo Courtyard to walk around, accompany the princess to drink tea, and talk about the new things in the capital. ”

"Yes, my daughter-in-law wrote it down." Jian Ying complied.

Fang Jingzhi said "yes" with a smile on her face, but she secretly suspected that King Ji'an had ulterior motives and assigned her to the second daughter-in-law, so that she was too busy to have time to care about his affairs with the fool in Pujiayuan, and she was angry in her heart.

I didn't want to say anything more to Jian Ying, so I gave her a half-foot-high sheep fat jade statue of Guanyin, and asked her to "import Ding for our Ji'an Mansion as soon as possible".

Jian Ying gave each of them a pair of shoes made "by herself" to express her heart.

Fang Jingzhi took it for King Ji'an, praised a few words of good needlework, and instructed Zhang's mother to introduce her to several concubines of King Ji'an.

The side concubine Bai is the eldest of the wives and concubines of the King of Ji'an, and she is nearly fifty years old this year. Due to neglect of maintenance, he looks older than King Ji'an.

Concubine Bai gave birth to only one daughter, named Zhou Xiang, who has been married for many years.

Concubine Wen, in her early forties. In his early years, he gave birth to a son for the king of Ji'an, but unfortunately died. Since then, he has been pure-hearted and has few desires, only guarding his own small courtyard to live, and ignoring all the things in the palace.

Concubine Qi, that is, the one in Pujia Courtyard, is newly favored and arrogant. Wearing a dress that was close to red, the hairpin ring lingered, and it was radiant, which suppressed the limelight of several wives and concubines, including Fang Jingzhi.

Concubine Qi also only gave birth to one daughter, named Zhou Qin, who is sixteen years old this year, and has already promised to marry someone else and will get married this fall.

In addition, there are a few that have no grade and cannot be put on the table, so they do not need to be visited.

After seeing here, turn to the left, and sitting here are Zhou Han, the prince of Ji'an, Meng Xinniang, the princess, and several concubines. After that, there was the third young master Zhou Yuan, and then there were the two young ladies who had not yet left the cabinet.

There are a total of four young ladies in the Ji'an Palace, and the eldest daughter Zhou Qing is from the first princess Meng, and Zhou Han is the sister and brother of the in-law. Zhou Xiang, born to Concubine Bai, is the second daughter, and Zhou Qin, born to Concubine Qi, is the third lady.

The fourth lady Zhou Xi was born to the current Princess of Ji'an, nine years old this year, and she is still a hairy girl who has not yet grown up.

What the others looked like, Jian Ying didn't look carefully, and only paid special attention to Zhou Yuan, who was remembered by Jian Zhuohua.

A thirteen-year-old boy is not short, but he is an out-and-out fat man. The cheeks are fat and white and tender, like steamed buns that have just come out of the pot. The facial features are crowded together, and the mouth and eyes are gone.

She has never seen Sister Tong who was praised by Jian Zhuohua as the same as a fairy, and she doesn't know what Sister Tong looks like, let alone if Sister Tong likes the fat type of the third young master.

However, she noticed that Zhou Yuan obviously didn't like her, and the "second sister-in-law" was reluctantly called, looking at her like a thief.

She didn't remember stealing anything from him, so she didn't care, and gave him a study room as a gift.

Zhou Yuan took advantage of the opportunity to pick up things, and suddenly leaned in and whispered, "You look so ugly, you are not worthy of my second brother at all!" ”
