The upper courtyard of Zhenping Wangfu, called Qianyunju, is different from the small courtyard of the four sides elsewhere, this is a small building, it is said that when you climb to the top of the building, you can touch the shallow clouds with your hands.

At that time, the king and his wife of Zhenping were still Qin Se and Ming, because the princess was the princess of the Hu family, so the king of Zhenping specially asked someone to build this small building in the house, so that the princess could look at her hometown from afar.

It's just that King Zhenping is greedy and lustful, and within a few years, he has a new love, and this Qianyunju has become the princess's small Buddha hall. Today, because of the wedding of the son, it is rare to have popularity here.

As soon as Eighteen Niang stepped into the threshold, she saw that it was already full of people. The leader is a white-haired old lady, she looks kind and kind, holding a dragon head cane, as soon as she saw Li Ziqi coming in, she smiled and waved her hand, this is the old feudal monarch of Zhenping Palace, born in Lanling Xiao.

Sure enough, Li Ziqi stepped forward and called his grandmother.

Eighteen Niang followed Li Ziqi to serve tea to all relatives one by one. The old lady rewarded a jade ruyi.

Next, it is King Zhenping, he is a jade-faced scholar, with unnatural red on both sides of his cheeks, and his eyes are blue and godless.

Seeing Li Ziqi and Eighteen Niang, his expression was a little inexplicable, as sad and joyful, and he gently put a piece of paper on the tea tray: "This is a small mansion near the Black Feather Guard, and I will give it to you." Now that you have a family and a business, you have nothing to do and live in the guardhouse. Since Eighteen Niang is Shen Ze's daughter, she has the ability, and she will entrust it to you in the future. ”

Eighteen Niang was stunned, this always sounded weird, but she still nodded in response.

Princess Zhenping was dressed in plain clothes, and there was no jewelry on her body. She has the same blue-eyed curly hair as the plum period, but the curls are much stronger than the plum period, and the hair does not look black, but light brown, and the eye color is very light, and the exotic color is very rich.

It was as if she had lost her life as a dry well. Even if his only son got married, there was no smile on his face.

Hastily took the teacup, took a sip gently, and put it down. In the tray, there was a set of brightly colored head and face jewelry, which did not look like the fashionable appearance in Chang'an City, and was about the dowry she brought from a foreign country.

The words were not spoken.

Eighteen Niang lamented in her heart, she always felt that she was disgusted by her in-laws on the first day, and when she turned her head, she saw Li Ziqi's reassuring eyes.

Mrs. Xiao of Zhenping Wangfu has a total of three sons, and her parents are not separated, so they are crowded together in this palace.

The uncle has a beautiful beard of Guan Gong, hangs an idle job in the household department, marries his wife, and is also the daughter of a large family. As soon as I saw Eighteen Niang, I was happy and gave a pair of jade bracelets.

And the third uncle looks like a serious scholar, and now he is working as a gentleman in the Guozi Prison, marrying the old lady's maiden niece Xiao Xiao. Xiao Xiao is hearty, and when Eighteen Niang saw the ceremony, she quickly took it and drank it, and actually gave a crown of flowers.

"This is what it looks like when it is newly sent to the palace this year, and it is just the business of my mother's brother, and I send my nephew and daughter-in-law to wear it and play with it."

Eighteen Niang also smiled one by one.

Then it is the same generation, the big house has a son and a daughter, the daughter is far away, the son is married to the bride Lu, her lower abdomen is slightly bulging, obviously there is good news.

Three rooms, two daughters and one son, the eldest daughter Li Chunhan and the eighteenth mother are up and down the age, and have not yet said that they are married, the second daughter Li Chunyin is ten years old this year, and the youngest son Li Ziping is only five or six years old.

These relatives all depend on the palace for their lives. This title was not laid down by the previous generation, and King Zhenping himself has many sons, who basically can't inherit it, so he is naturally polite to the future princess of Zhenping, Eighteen Niang.

And the vein of the Pingwang Mansion in Erfang Town is really flourishing.

Eighteen Niang raised her eyes and saw that the beautiful woman wearing a peach-colored spring shirt and a peacock with a golden step on her head was the side concubine Da Xiao who was now in charge of the affairs of the house. This big Xiao is the sister of Xiao Xiao.

Although she is only a side concubine, the princess worships the Buddha all the year round, she controls the affairs of the house, which is equivalent to the invisible princess in this house, and gave birth to a son Li Zi'an and a daughter Li Zifen for King Zhenping.

Eighteen Niang gave her a half-salute.

Concubine Xiao's face changed slightly, and she said with a smile: "You will be the daughter-in-law of my Li family in the future, but you have to do a good job of spreading the branches and leaves for my Li family." I heard that your body and bones are not very good, and this century-old ginseng is hard to find, so I will make up for your body. ”

And Li Zifen beside her was indignant. It's not good!

Eighteen Niang hooked the corners of her mouth, took it without changing her face, and said very apologetically: "Thank you Concubine Xiao for your kindness." It's just a coincidence that the eighteen mothers prepared ginseng for the elders are also ginseng, and they are not respectful. ”

As she spoke, she brought a cup of tea to Concubine Xiao. She took it and took a sip, but she didn't let it go, and she didn't let it go! Who will tell her which broken tea cup this is the one who bought it, and it was broken.

If she puts the cup on the table, the cup will definitely crack, and she can pretend to be considerate when she sends a medicinal herb, but this cup is broken, and everyone must not think that she is throwing her face? If you don't put it, this tea will be hot!

Eighteen Niang looked at her red palm, and her heart was refreshed, beating people without slapping her face, only then did she meet, which pot was not opened, where was the bride entering the door, and the meeting gift given by the elders was medicinal materials! What's more, she has a concubine, which kind of elder can be regarded as a family.

And beside her, there sat a sick beauty, who was already in spring, and she was still wearing a thick jacket, her face was pale and weak. This is another side concubine Cui of the Zhenping Palace. Although this side concubine is also surnamed Cui, she is just a remote side branch of the Cui clan in Qinghe.

She only gave birth to one daughter, Li Zifang, and she also looked sick.

And Li Zimei's mother was from Aunt Liu in the house, and Aunt Liu can't come here today.

Eighteen Niang gave everyone a return gift, Li Zifen looked up, and saw that their sisters were all a pair of jade bracelets, and Li Zijun's pair of jade was much better.

Seeing his mother's ugly face again, he was angry all of a sudden, "Sister-in-law, these are two hearts, and this bracelet can't be worn by anyone?" ”

Eighteen Niang glanced at Concubine Xiao with disdain, and said with a smile: "Zijun is white-skinned, and the pair of bracelets is heavy, which is the most suitable for her." I see that Fenniang likes purple, and there are purple clouds floating in your pair of bracelets...... Of course, this jade bracelet is worn by different people, and you have to choose the most suitable one. ”

Seeing that she was given to the bottom of the steps, Mrs. Xiao's face suddenly looked a lot better, but she glanced at Li Zifen reproachfully.

And Li Ziqi was impatient with their chatter, and said: "How big a face you are, how big a thing you can do." This is also worth asking? ”

Seeing that he was impatient, Mrs. Xiao was distressed, "Don't you see that you are tired in the sub-period, you have been talking and saying, take your lady back to rest." I'll let the king stew some nourishing soup, and I'll send it to you in a moment. ”

Out of this shallow cloud residence, Eighteen Niang breathed a sigh of relief, "It's really not easy for you to be a big family." ”
