After the ginger was very happy today, she got up early in the morning to apply grease and powder, using the first-class Yandi rouge, and a goose egg face was wiped snow-white; They are almost thirty years old, and they dress like sixteen-year-old girls.

looked in the mirror again and again, and saw his fragrant face and a silk dyed robe, and he was happy and sour. She can't remember how many years she hasn't worn a brand-new silk robe, if it weren't for Bai Dong's 'waier' heart, she was able to take out the clothes she was able to take out her hand or her mother's makeup ten years ago, in the blink of an eye, more than ten years have passed, the maids who accompanied the makeup have become old girls, but she has not been able to replace a few new clothes, every time she turns a corner to ask Ji Bian, Ji Bian always sighs and says to her that the royal family is not as good as it used to be, and the days are not good every year for her birthday and she has to go around asking the princes for tribute, and the only remaining five thousand royal teachers in Luoyi are still using rusty swords, What else can she say when she lives a half-starved life? can only sit alone in front of the bronze mirror and cry, how to see how hard he lives, if it sounds good, he is the queen of the dynasty, and if he doesn't say it well, he is a beggar with status!

The little prince is eleven years old this year, but he still cries every day to eat caramel candy, but this kind of food, which is not considered high-class in the noble family, cannot be fully supplied by the royal family. Seeing that his son only got a piece of caramel to eat in seven days, and then ran around excitedly with a candy bar, the heart of the queen was about to break. It's not that she, the princess of Lu who was born in a country of etiquette, is not reserved, but she can't see any hope, the Zhou royal family has no hope, and she is getting old and her face is not there, but what about her son? The dignified prince of the royal family was so elated at a piece of candy, didn't he know how happy he was to eat the candy? The more sad it is to be a mother?

Unexpectedly, a royal princess who jumped out of thin air actually made her see hope again. What is the world's rich generation of Wenzong? The cheap 'foreigner' of our Zhou royal family is it! It's a loss, and the king still has the cheekiness to say that people are here to ask for the seal. Is this called begging for sealing? Is the knighthood of your Zhou royal family very rare? A cart of money and food brocade was sprinkled down, not to mention the candy that her son loved to eat, even the snow-white sugar cubes, she only saw this thing once when she went back to her mother's home Lu Guo, how many years has her brother Ji Fen been the monarch of Lu Guoguo, and when he took out this thing, he was still as mysterious as a child who had never seen the world, saying that this thing was called 'snow sugar', and it was a new production of the Bai family trading company half a year ago, and no one believed it. This thing was actually made from a kind of thing called 'sugarcane' in the south, which was not produced by the Bai family trading company, and the price was very expensive, and it may not be possible to buy it if you have money. My son ate a piece at the time, and since then he has fallen in love with this thing, pestering himself every day to ask for it, but where to get it?

Now this snow sugar is pulled to the royal family in a car, and his favorite Shu silk embroidery, the silk of Shu is precious, and the Shu road is difficult. If you want to bypass the most difficult section, you have to take a detour from the Chu State, if it weren't for the rich financial resources of the Bai family trading company. Who would dare to give this thing away in a car? All kinds of gouache and rouge are not to mention, look at how careful and considerate Bai Dong is, even his own 'grandmother' who is not Ji Juan's own mother is worried about it, which makes people feel warm in their hearts when they think that Bai Dong is young and golden, and he is considerate, and he can't help but envy the named daughter of Flea, but unfortunately she has no poetic talent, although she likes Bai Dong's 'new poetry style', but she still can't make a mandarin duck butterfly poem of 'I was born before I was born, I am old'

Rich son-in-law is loved by everyone, this is the last word that has not changed in ancient and modern times, how does the successor mother-in-law of the queen Jiang think of Bai Dong now, but the mother-in-law who still has charm has no reason to find her son-in-law to whisper, and today she wants to ceremoniously receive Bai Yue's mother-in-law. Most of the people who followed Bai Dong to Luoyi this time were for the title of the Son of Heaven and for an orthodox title, but the old lady Bai Yue came to meet her in-laws; The old lady is obviously a peasant woman from a mountain village, but she is not surprised by this, after learning the true identity of the flea that day, she just took a deep look at herself, and she didn't shout like an ordinary peasant woman. Now Bai Dong feels that the old lady is a book, an unfathomable book, and there are many stories on the old lady, so much so that he has to read them slowly one by one, and he has to ponder it.

For the sake of the Hundred Pulpits, Bai Dong and Dongyang Jun are busy, and this time it's again. Parents' meeting, although the successor mother-in-law is eager to wear, but he has never come, only the real lady of Kujiu accompanied; bitter wine in and out of Liyang Palace these years like a family yard, and Bu Rongyi this country lady sister commensurate, will also visit Mrs. Li Jiang from time to time, teach her a new sweater weaving method, the big man has seen a lot, after seeing Ji Bian and Zhu Jiang do not feel anything, the generous fit bowed, but was stopped by the queen of the Jiang Dynasty, when the queen of the dynasty affectionately took her hand, just praised her fingers slender, like spring onions, or is the Bai family rich, raised with high-quality rouge gouache, how can there be one who is not as good as flowers? It's better than the royal family's days.

Ji Bian was red-faced when he heard this, and coughed heavily, but after Jiang Jiang, he didn't pay attention to it, or the old lady took the words, only saying that these were all misinformation from the outside, the Bai family was just a new upstart in the Qin State, but it was far inferior to the Xu family of the Qi State and the Chu family of the Chu State, which had been passed down for generations. Besides, no matter how prosperous the merchant is, it is far less than the royal inheritance, and no matter how much money and grain he earns, he will still eat and eat every week, and he will not leave the country of the Son of Heaven

Ji Bian was shocked when he heard this, and couldn't help but look at Bai Yue's family a few more times, only to see that this old woman who was born in a peasant family in the legend was so down-to-earth and generous, facing him, the co-owner of the world, Zhou Tianzi was like facing a vegetable vendor in the market, but he had some plans today, but he became nervous.

It is said that no matter how the royal family declines, there is absolutely no reason to let the queen cook in person, but today is half a 'family banquet', and the queen Jiang is asking for help, so she has to show her skills, whether this dish is done well or not, but it is related to the future of the royal family and her son, she naturally has to shake her spirit and show off her skills.

After a while, a few small dishes were fragrant and placed on the feast, and the bitter wine took a look, there were boiled Yellow River carp, fried autumn siad with shredded meat, stewed fat sheep, and bitter vegetables of the Qin Kingdom were all her favorite tastes, and the taste seemed to be excellent, and she was a little surprised in her heart, and she couldn't figure out how this queen Jiang could have such a skill, and looking at the dishes she chose, it was obvious that she had made preparations. Bai Yue looked at the dishes, got up and bowed slightly to Queen Jiang: "Thank you, Queen." "The old lady is an old man, how can you not see that this is what the queen of Jiang has to do? Although the royal family is in decline, she is the queen of the dynasty after all, and she must be grateful; Kujiu saw his mother get up, and also got up and thanked him, and said with a smile: "The old lady must not be like this, today is a family banquet, not to mention that the old lady still has something to ask the old lady to help."

Ji Bian frowned slightly, although Bai Dong was the last hope of the Zhou royal family, but Jiang was too low-status, and the family banquet was actually the time to compete, which was different from him reading the edict of sin and beating the royal robe in front of the world; The wife lowered her posture so much, but what could he say later?

Bai Yue also shook his head and said: "The Son of Heaven and the queen have something to do, just tell the old body, don't dare to say anything to help each other."

Ji Bian's mind moved: "This king and the old lady are each other's relatives, where is there any command?" This king just wants to ask the old lady, Juan'er has now recognized the royal family, after all, the lady of the sky, can she be the main atrium in the Bai family in the future? "The Son of Heaven can pretend to be generous and declare his guilt and be beaten in the royal robe, but he can't accept his daughter to become a concubine on the side, the Bai family has two wives is known to the world, but no one knows who is sitting in the main room, so he naturally wants to ask clearly. As today's son, it is commendable for an old lady to have a relationship with Bai Yue's peers, but his daughter will never be able to suffer, which is why he only invited Bai Yue's and bitter wine, and did not call his daughter.

Bai Yueshi looked at the bitter wine, and saw that his daughter-in-law still had no change in her face, she was very satisfied, and smiled at Ji Bian and said: "The Bai family has always been my son's business, but I, as a mother, don't ask; However, my son once said that no matter how many wives there are, they will not be divided into any middle side, and when they enter the Bai family, they are all the same status, so there is no one in the middle of the Bai family's back house, if there is, my two daughters-in-law are in the middle of the main room, and the Son of Heaven is still satisfied? ”

"I'm afraid that's wrong, isn't it? Since the Zhou Metric Ceremony, no matter the princes and princes in China, they all follow the law of one wife and multiple concubines, where will everyone be wives? Juan'er is from my Ji family."

"The old man asked the princess last night, and the princess said that she was not called Ji Juan, but still called flea."

Bai Yueshi raised the teacup and took a sip gently, looked at Ji Bian and said with a smile: "The king doesn't know, my unsuccessful son also said that other people's etiquette can't restrain the Bai family, if Zhou Gong's etiquette is really the best, why is the etiquette broken, and the people of the world don't think about the royal family?" Therefore, sooner or later, this etiquette will have to change, young people are not sensible after all, and the king must forgive his sins."

"Widow"

Ji Bian is stupid, forgive the sins, do the widows dare to blame him?

"Your Majesty, I think Dong'er's approach is reasonable, they are all the same girls who marry into other people's families, why should they be divided into the right and middle sides? How good Dong'er is to Juan'er, the king also sees it in his eyes, what else is there to worry about? ”

Empress Jiang glanced at Ji Bian, turned her head, and smiled like a flower: "Old lady, I have one thing, it can be regarded as a reluctant request, and I ask the old lady to fulfill it." (To be continued......)
