After the marriage, my husband's family listened to my voice and turned the tide

After they finished their greetings, Old Madam He waved to Shang Tingli, and when she returned to her side, she asked, "I wonder what nickname Yunfan and Ayang used to call Nannan?"

Hearing Madam He addressing his mother so affectionately, Shang Tingli was stunned for a moment: "Grandmother also knows my mother?"

Madam He laughed and said, "Your mother is a good child. It is not an exaggeration to say that she was famous in the capital. Grandmother must have known her."

She has first-class talent and beauty, not to mention her gentleness and courtesy in dealing with people. Such a girl is what every household desires.

She is no exception.

However, her "eldest son" was too mediocre. How could she have the nerve to ask for his hand in marriage? Wouldn't that be a betrayal to the good girl? Who knew that her youngest son already had someone in his heart? She would never do such a thing as ruining someone's marriage or messing up the relationship.

Now she is glad. This person always tries to do something but fails, but always succeeds by accident.

The "daughter-in-law" she had always dreamed of and was very satisfied with finally became her daughter-in-law. It was a pity that she didn't get to hear the word "mother".

Thinking of this, Madam He felt her eyes sore.

"So that's how it is." In fact, Shang Tingli regretted asking the question. She knew from her mother and many ladies that her mother was at least a famous talented woman in the past. The eldest daughter of the Marquis Yi Zhong's Mansion could attend many banquets, so it was not surprising that her grandmother knew her mother.

Shang Tingli said, "My parents used to call me Little Carp, saying that they hoped I would be as blessed as a little carp."

"Then how about we call you that too?" Five voices said in unison.

Everyone was stunned, Wenhui and Juqin looked at each other and laughed.

Shang Tingli replied obediently: "Of course."

She glanced at Wenhui secretly.

[Hey, mother, are you going to call me Xiaoli too? I think it's quite easy for you to call me Ah Li.]

[But as long as Mother likes it, it’s fine. It’s just a name. ]

Wenhui smiled secretly. She had wanted to call "Xiaoli" for a long time, but she never found the opportunity. Besides, Xiaoli didn't know that she had been calling Xiaoli in her heart.

"When is Xiaoli's birthday?" Juqin asked, "If it hasn't happened yet, we'll have to hold a good birthday party for you."

Speaking of this, she felt bitter in her heart. In her memory, she had never seen the Yi Zhong Hou Mansion hold any birthday banquet for her niece. Thinking of the rumors she had heard before, she was even more disgusted with the Yi Zhong Hou Mansion. She had never seen such a shameless uncle's family.

If the Queen Mother had not spread the news of the marriage exchange, she would never have thought that the Marquis Pan Yaying would marry her niece to a man of such a family. Fortunately, Pan Yaying was smart all her life, but she also gave birth to a stupid daughter. She gave up the good prince and insisted on marrying a guard.

Now it seems that he deserved it.

"Thank you, Second Aunt, for worrying about me." Shang Tingli first said thank you with a smile.

Juqin said: "As a family, don't thank each other. This is what Second Aunt should do."

This statement was unanimously agreed by the He family.

"Yes, I know." Shang Tingli smiled and told him her birthday. "My birthday is April 6th." She looked at He Zhiheng, "I wonder when is your brother's birthday?"

"It's September 19th." He Zhiheng said.

Shang Tingli nodded to show that he understood.

"Now it's still some time before Xiaoli's birthday, so let's not discuss the birthday party for now. Let's first talk about the family reunion party. What do you think?" Wenhui asked everyone with a smile.

Old Master He said excitedly, "Yes, yes, yes! The princess is absolutely right! The birthday banquet must be held, and the family recognition banquet cannot be missed either!"

Therefore, the elders in the room talked enthusiastically about the topic of "family recognition banquet", and left Shang Tingli, the person involved, aside.

Shang Tingli shook his head and returned to his seat to sip his tea.

By the time the elders had agreed on the time and place of the family reunion banquet, half a day had passed and Wenhui invited the people to stay and have lunch with them.

Before leaving, Madam He pulled Wen Hui aside and said, "Princess, you must not go back on your word. I will come early tomorrow to take Xiaoli home."

"Yes, yes, please rest assured. When have I ever broken my promise to anyone?"

Wenhui made repeated assurances, and only then did Madam He feel relieved.

Although Shang Tingli was present and listening, Wenhui still told her the whole story to prevent her from mishearing.

The banquet was scheduled for the day after tomorrow. Since this was a big event for Shang Tingli to recognize his ancestors, the banquet would naturally be held at the He family.

After the He family returned, they immediately began to prepare for the relevant matters. The old Taifu He was even more vigorous and wrote the invitations himself. Because the war was still raging at the northern border, the banquet was not really a big one, but only invited some noble families in the capital. That was why He Man felt relieved to let the old Taifu He write the invitations himself, otherwise he was afraid that the old man would be tired.

On the second day, everyone who received the invitation from the He family was excited.

——The He family has found their eldest master!

The He family was lucky. They found the person despite the situation that was like looking for a needle in a haystack.

I wonder what the He family's eldest master looks like now? I guess he has also started a family and established a career.

Old Madam He said yesterday that she would come early to pick up Shang Tingli and take him home, but unexpectedly she actually showed up at noon today.

Wen Hui: “…”

After sending her daughter-in-law away, Wenhui felt a little melancholy. She was very sad that no one loved her little Li. Now that someone loves her little Li, she is still sad.

Seeing this, Ke Yishang smiled and said, "Mother, do you know what you look like now?"

"Oh." Wenhui sighed.

Ke Yichang covered her lips and said mischievously: "If I didn't know, I would have thought you were sending your daughter to marry."

However, not only did her mother treat her sister-in-law like her own daughter, she also felt that her sister-in-law was like an elder sister. Her sister-in-law was much better than her eldest brother.

"What's the difference?" Wen Hui asked back, and suddenly seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly grinned at Ke Yishang and said, "Ling Yun."

Ke Yichang was puzzled: "Huh?"

"I think your mother will be reluctant to let you go when you get married," Wenhui said.

Ke Yichang's face flushed immediately: "Mother, Mother, you, you are really... Why are you bringing up such long-term things for no reason?"

Wen Hui sighed and said, "How long is it?"

Ke Yichang said softly, "Mother, my daughter is only fifteen, even Xingjian is only sixteen."

Wenhui smiled and said, "When you are seventeen or eighteen, Xingjian will be eighteen or nineteen. That time will be perfect. It's only two years, it will pass in the blink of an eye. How can it be considered a long time?"

Ke Yishang's face flushed.

……

As soon as Shang Tingli arrived at the He family, he was taken to a courtyard very close to the main courtyard. Old Madam He said that this was a boudoir specially prepared for her.

Koi Pavilion.

This is the name of her new boudoir in her parents' home.

Next door is He Zhiqiang's Wanxiangtang, and it only takes half a cup of tea to walk to Koixuan.

Now standing at the gate of the courtyard, looking up at the three words "Jinlixuan" above, Shang Tingli was indescribably moved.

When she was in the Marquis Yi Zhong's Mansion, no one treated her sincerely. She didn't have a decent courtyard. Even the good courtyard where her mother once lived seemed to be just a flash in the pan and became a nameless courtyard after being abandoned.

When she was waiting to be married, she lived in a courtyard without a name for nearly six years. She didn't care about these trivial things. But today, even though she is a married woman, someone will buy her a good courtyard and give it a careful name.

Shang Tingli blinked.

This is the difference between caring and not caring.

"Do you like it, Xiaoli?"

"If you don't like it, we can redecorate it."

"If Xiaoli has any requests, remember to ask for them. We are all family, there is nothing to be embarrassed about."

Someone was chattering beside her, and Shang Tingli suddenly felt her eyes welling up. She sniffed lightly, reached out and held the hands of the two elders, and said solemnly and seriously: "I like it very much, thank you grandma and second aunt."

Madam He and Ju Qin laughed: "As long as Xiaoli likes it!"

Shang Tingli nodded heavily.

"Let's go in and take a look." Juqin said.

"Okay."

Shang Tingli followed the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law into the Koi Pavilion and looked at all the furnishings inside. She found that there was nothing she was dissatisfied with. On the contrary, she was very satisfied.

Half a day passed in a flash. After lunch, Shang Tingli coaxed Old Madam He to take a nap. After returning to Jinli Pavilion, he saw He Zhizhen waiting in the courtyard.

Shang Tingli was surprised and asked, "Sister, have you been waiting for a long time?"

The phrase "sister" became more and more easy to say. Who could have thought that when they first started to get close to each other by calling each other sister and younger sister, they actually turned out to be sisters from the same mansion. It was really a joke.

"No, I came here just because I thought you would come back." He Zhiying said, straight to the point, "You are the protagonist at tomorrow's banquet, would you like me to take you to buy you two new clothes?"

"what?"

"Ah for what?"

Shang Tingli said, "To be honest with you, sister, I have a lot of good clothes that I have never worn, and the ones at the bottom of the box are probably gathering dust."

"That's different." He Zhiying smiled and pulled her out without saying anything. "The new clothes I bought for you are a token of my appreciation for you. They are a gift from me as a sister to you. They have a different meaning from the clothes you have kept in the bottom of your box."

Knowing that she was determined to buy clothes for him, Shang Tingli was helpless for a moment before he accepted it calmly.

"Then I have to make it clear first. No matter what gift I give you in the future, you can't refuse it." Shang Tingli said.

He Zhiying stopped walking, turned his head to look at her and said jokingly, "Last time you used the prince's money to buy me a set of headgear, I refused you, didn't I?"

Shang Tingli: “…”

She touched the tip of her nose and said, "So my sister is waiting for me here."

He Zhixiang smiled but said nothing.
