The two sisters got on the carriage and left the house. After more than half an hour, the carriage stopped at the door of Cao's Clothing Store in Taoli Hutong.

Shang Tingli was not surprised that He Zhiying brought her here to pick out clothes. From what she said, he wanted to give her ready-made clothes, and Cao's Clothing Store was the best for ready-made clothes.

She turned her head to look at He Zhiqian and said with a smile, "No wonder my sister said she wanted to buy me two new sets of clothes. The two sets here are just enough to buy me one set of headgear from Liangzhu Pavilion."

"You wish." He Zhiying said.

Shang Tingli raised his eyebrows when he heard it: "Oh?"

He Zhiying tapped her forehead and said, "You and I are now real sisters, so I won't be polite with you about the headgear. I brought you here to buy clothes today, and it's purely a gift for you."

Shang Tingli smiled and said, "Okay."

The two walked into the shop hand in hand. The shopkeeper quickly walked up to them and greeted them, then said to He Zhiying, "Miss."

Hearing this address, Shang Tingli looked at He Zhiqian with some surprise.

It turns out that this is my sister’s shop.

Looking at it this way, it turns out that the boss behind Cao's Clothing Store is indeed a smart woman.

He Zhixing nodded to the shopkeeper and introduced Shang Tingli to her: "Shopkeeper Cao, the one next to me is the Crown Princess of Prince Ren's Mansion, and also my sister. If she comes to the store in the future, she doesn't have to pay the bill. The amount on the bill will be charged to me."

"Yes." Although Shopkeeper Cao was very surprised, he nodded and bowed to Shang Tingli: "I greet the Crown Prince's Consort."

Shang Tingli smiled and waved his hand: "Manager Cao, there is no need to be so polite."

Shopkeeper Cao then smiled and said to her, "I didn't know you were the Crown Prince's Consort last time. How rude of me." She only cared about this, because in her impression, their eldest daughter had no younger sister. Now that it was said like this, the Crown Prince's Consort was most likely an acquaintance of the eldest daughter, so it would not be appropriate to call her "Second Miss".

"I was wondering why the dress my sister was wearing at the Zhou family's chrysanthemum-viewing banquet that day looked very familiar. The reason is that it was made by our family." He Zhiying said with a smile.

Shang Tingli nodded: "I did buy that dress here." He looked at Shopkeeper Cao and said, "I didn't expect Shopkeeper Cao still remembered me."

Actually, it was her first time to come to Cao's Clothing Store. In the past, her clothes were basically made by Fang Zhi's skillful hands, and occasionally Pan Yaying would ask someone to make them for her.

Shopkeeper Cao laughed and said, "How could we forget? The most expensive clothes here are only priced at nine hundred taels, and you sold our clothes for a high price of one thousand one hundred taels just by talking that day. We will never forget such a great man like you."

Shang Tingli couldn't help laughing.

He Zhixing said "Oh", "Is there such a thing?"

Shopkeeper Cao then recounted what happened that day in vivid detail, even describing Yu Lanxi's ugly expression vividly.

After hearing her words, He Zhiying couldn't help but give Shang Tingli a thumbs up and praised, "Sister, this trick is really great."

Shang Tingli: "It's okay."

With a laugh, He Zhiying waved her hand to let Manager Cao leave. She wanted to accompany her sister to look at clothes, and pulled Shang Tingli inside.

"Do you have a favorite color?" He Zhiying asked.

Shang Tingli replied: "I prefer the color red, but it's not appropriate to wear red now."

"It's okay. After June, I'll come with you to carefully select red clothes." He Zhiying said, "But for now, you should look at other colors first. You can't just buy one and keep it in your closet."

Her original intention was not to bring her sister here to buy collections.

"Okay, then please help me, sister, and see which color suits me." Shang Tingli smiled and shook He Zhiying's arm.

He Zhiying said bluntly: "If you say so, I really want to make you a set of clothes in every color. With your appearance, it is not the clothes that make the person look good, but the clothes that make the person look good."

Shang Tingli was speechless for a moment and then said, "Sister is really wealthy now, so I don't mind buying her two more sets of headwear."

Tsuru Chiaki: “……?”

Although Shang Tingli cannot wear red now, the two of them still stayed at the red clothes for a while. It was a pity to be able to only look at them but not wear them, so they changed to another color.

Stopping at the green clothes, He Zhiying pulled Shang Tingli to stop and said, "I usually see you wearing yellow and orange, but I've never seen you wearing green or cyan. Do you want to try it?"

Shang Tingli said, "You can try."

With her approval, He Zhiying began to choose for her. After looking for a while, she pointed at one of the suits and said to Ruhua, "Ruhua, take this one down and let the Crown Prince's Consort try it on."

Although the clothes are hung on the wall, there is a wooden fork in a conspicuous place underneath to make it convenient for customers to take down the clothes to view or try them on.

Ruhua stepped forward, picked up the wooden fork, took down the clothes that He Zhiying pointed at, and then handed the clothes to Shang Tingli.

"Go and try it now." He Zhiying urged.

"Okay, okay." Shang Tingli took the clothes and went to the fitting room.

When she came out, He Zhixiang kept praising her and immediately asked her to try the second set. The result was - after trying the second set, there was still the third set...

Shang Tingli: “…”

She finally managed to persuade He Zhiqiang to stop. In the end, Shang Tingli only asked for two sets of clothes, one green and one blue.

He Zhixiang felt extremely regretful and thought to himself, next time he would definitely trick his sister into asking for two, three, four, or five more sets...

On the way back, Shang Tingli asked curiously, "How did your sister come up with the idea of ​​opening such a clothing store?" In fact, she had been interested in the owner of Cao's Clothing Store for a long time.

You know, the business of a ready-made clothing store is not that easy to do, not to mention that He Zhiqiang opened a store that caters to the noble ladies in the capital. The clothes of noble families were made by their own embroiderers. Even if there were no embroiderers in the mansion, most of the clothes were made by taking the fabrics to the cloth shops.

He Zhiying paused, then smiled and said, "I once knew a girl from Wanzhou. The inspiration for Cao Ji Clothing Store came from her."

For some reason, Shang Tingli felt that her smile was as light as a feather, and the smile on her lips could not cover up the sadness in her eyes.

"So that's how it is." Shang Tingli said.

When she thought that Tsuru Chikao would talk to her about the past, he fell silent. Although he tried his best to hide it, she could still see the sadness in his eyes.

Shang Tingli thought to himself, maybe that girl has passed away?

She sighed silently, leaned her head on He Zhiqi's shoulder, then reached out and patted him gently on the back.

He Zhiying tilted his head towards Shang Tingli, rubbed his face against the top of her head, and said softly, "It's all over."

The voice was very soft, and I couldn't tell who he was comforting.
