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

Do you think she looks kind?

Mrs. He said the same thing just now.

"This is a very new way of chatting up someone." Shang Tingli smiled softly, "But I agree."

She pointed to the chrysanthemums not far ahead that no one was looking at and said, "I think the chrysanthemums over there are blooming beautifully. Shall we go?"

He Zhiqi walked forward half a step behind her, and was stunned for a moment and asked, "How do you approach a conversation?"

Shang Tingli smiled and said, "Mrs. He also thought I looked kind to her. You two really have a tacit understanding of mother and daughter."

He Zhixiang was stunned.

After a moment, she laughed and said, "Maybe it's not a conversation, but a thought from the heart? In fact, I had this feeling when I saw you, the Crown Prince's Consort, at the Xu family last time."

She always felt that she had seen this Crown Prince's Consort somewhere, but she was very sure that, whether in the past or recently, she had only seen her at the lotus viewing banquet held at the Duke of Huguo's Mansion last time.

These words made Shang Tingli silent for a moment.

She was somewhat speechless and used the same excuse she had given to Mrs. He: "Maybe I look too ordinary?"

He Zhiying laughed and said, "Could it be that the Crown Prince's Consort wants others to feel inferior?"

Shang Tingli opened his eyes: "Ah?"

She suddenly remembered what Mrs. He said, and she couldn't help choking. So a daughter's perspective is like her mother's?

"That's not what I meant." Shang Tingli shook his head.

She explained, "I'm sure that Miss He and I met for the first time last time at the Xu family. If I weren't ordinary-looking, I can't think of any way that would make you think I look friendly."

He Zhixing couldn't give her a reasonable explanation, so he just said, "It's just a strong feeling. I inexplicably feel that I have seen you somewhere before. In fact, I am also absolutely sure that I have never known you before."

This is a bit amazing.

Shang Tingli stared at her for a while, and suddenly a smile appeared on his lips. He asked with a teasing look, "Is it because Sister He is the future Crown Princess?"

He Zhixing was stunned: "What?"

Shang Tingli said with a smile: "We will be considered a family in the future, so why don't we look friendly?"

He Zhiying held his forehead with his hand and said helplessly, "That's not the reason. The Crown Prince's Consort is embarrassing me."

"Since we are enjoying the chrysanthemums together today, I have changed my name to Sister He. But you still call me the Crown Prince's Consort. Isn't that a little too distant?" Shang Tingli stared at her.

If the prince really can't influence his decision, then if she gets close to the future queen in advance, maybe she can really escape the disaster, right?

For this reason, Shang Tingli was trying his best to get close to him.

Fearing that the other party would find it presumptuous, she added: "I'm afraid I will have to call you sister-in-law in the future. Sister He, there's no need to be so distant."

He Zhiqiang rarely came into contact with such direct people, and was a little at a loss for a moment: "This..."

Shang Tingli made the final decision and said, "Sister He, just call me sister."

He Zhixing: "Listen to the etiquette sister."

"Well, that's right. In this way, it's normal for Sister He to think I look familiar." Shang Tingli said with a smile.

He Zhiqi opened his mouth slightly and asked in astonishment: "Is this possible?"

Shang Tingli blinked: "Is there something wrong?"

He Zhiying frowned and shook his head: "No?"

Shang Tingli said, "No, that's right."

Tsuru Chiaki: “…” Very strong.

Maybe it was because of the familiar feeling, but after the two began to appreciate the chrysanthemums seriously, they had a lot of topics to talk about, and before they knew it, they had been there for a quarter of an hour.

At first, we were unfamiliar with calling each other sisters, but now we are able to call each other smoothly.

"Sister-in-law."

Ke Yishang's voice sounded from behind the two of them, and they both turned around.

As soon as he saw her, He Zhiying immediately knelt down, but before he could finish his greeting, Ke Yishang hurriedly supported her and said with a red face, "Sister He, there is no need to be polite."

He Zhiying smiled faintly: "Thank you, Princess."

Shang Tingli looked at the two of them leisurely from the side, and suddenly found it quite interesting.

Lingyun was engaged to Hejie's younger brother, and would be Hejie's sister-in-law in the future. And Hejie was the Crown Princess appointed by the Emperor's mother, so they could call the Crown Prince "Big Brother", and Hejie would be their sister-in-law in the future.

From this perspective, it seems like two families are exchanging marriages.

While she was lost in thought, Ke Yishang pulled her sleeve and said, "Sister-in-law, we should go find mother and take a seat together."

Shang Tingli nodded and said to He Zhiying, "See you later, Sister He."

Ke Yishang also said, "See you later, Sister He."

"See you later." He Zhixiang said.

After the two of them left, someone behind He Zhiying said, "It's rare to see Miss chatting with others. Do you want to make friends with the Crown Prince's wife?"

Another person asked, "Isn't the young lady on good terms with the Crown Prince's Consort?"

They were her two personal maids, Ruhua and Baoqin.

He Zhiqi smiled and said, "I don't know why, but Sister Tingli gives me a very friendly feeling."

Just as Ruhua said, she really didn't like chatting with other people in the past two years. Normal people also didn't like to get close to her. Only clowns always liked to jump around in front of her.

It’s not that she likes to be different, but she doesn’t trust others and always feels that they have bad intentions.

"Let's go, it's time for us to go to mother's place."

……

This chrysanthemum-viewing banquet was not just about groups of three or five people appreciating the chrysanthemums displayed in the garden, but a high platform was built in an empty space in the garden and a banquet was set up underneath.

The chrysanthemums displayed at the banquet were the highlight of the chrysanthemum-viewing banquet, which could not be compared with the chrysanthemums displayed in the garden.

Everyone sat down according to their status, and greeted each other formally. After that, Mrs. Zhou went up to the podium, with a happy smile on her face: "First of all, welcome all the distinguished guests who are willing to visit my Zhou family!"

"Secondly, the chrysanthemums I got from my house will definitely not be wasted!"

"Next, the chrysanthemum!"

After Mrs. Zhou said these words, she walked down from the platform.

Next, the Zhou family's servants brought out the chrysanthemums to be admired one by one. The first ones they brought up were two pots of chrysanthemums with green petals and placed the flowers on the table on the high platform. The servants who were carrying the flowers then temporarily retreated to the side of the platform, leaving only the pots for people to admire.

There was an uproar in the audience.

"This is the green peony!"

“What beautiful petals!”

Shang Tingli listened to the sighs of the crowd and looked at the two pots of green peonies on the stage. The green petals were full of vitality, embracing each other, like careful flower keepers, the flower keepers protecting the flowers, and the petals protecting the pistils.

It is indeed beautiful.

Ke Yishang beside her praised: "Mrs. Zhou really put in a lot of effort."

[I don’t know if they put in enough effort, but they definitely have money.]

Ke Yishang: “…”

No wonder my sister-in-law said that.

After all, a green peony is worth at least six hundred taels of silver. There were two pots of it on the table, and in my sister-in-law's eyes, it was probably worth twelve hundred taels of silver.

She was complaining in her heart, and then she heard Ke Nanjia whispered: "Six hundred taels of silver per plant, Madam Zhou is a rich person, if I were that rich, I could eat chicken legs every day."

Shang Tingli leaned over to whisper to Ke Nanjia, "My dear friend! If we use so much money to buy big pork elbows, I wonder how many years we can eat them!"

Conanjia held her outstretched hand and sympathized fiercely: "Sister-in-law, you understand me!"

Shang Tingli nodded vigorously: "Nanjia, you understand me!"

Ke Yishang: “…”

The fourth and fifth young ladies: "..."

Wenhui covered her face, looking a little embarrassed. If someone who didn't know the situation heard this, they might think that the palace had withheld their monthly allowance and food.

What two greedy girls.

"Ah--" Shang Tingli and Conanjia both sneezed.

[Is someone cursing at me behind my back? I know, it must be that idiot Ke Xin!!]

This time, she not only scolded Ke Xin, but also called Ke Xin by his full name.

Wenhui covered her mouth guiltily, feeling really sorry for her eldest son, but it was a child's duty to share the mother's worries. She believed that her Xingchen would understand her.

After everyone had finished admiring the green peony, the Zhou family's servants went up to the stage and took the green peony down and placed it under the stage so that those sitting closer to the table could still admire it.

The second time they put up two pots of chrysanthemums with roughly pink petals. Just like the first time, they only left the flowers on the high platform.

Different from the green peony just now, this is a variety with multiple colors. The ligulate flowers are flat and peony-shaped, with pink petals inlaid with green, yellow and white. There are several sharp hooks at the end of the petals, and the surface of the petals seems to be smudged, elegant and beautiful, fresh and beautiful.

This is a green dress with red skirt.

Shang Tingli looked at the chrysanthemums and agreed with what Ke Yishang had just said. She said, "It's really something. No wonder they can afford a chrysanthemum viewing banquet."

[All the chrysanthemums here are valuable. The ones to be displayed later may be even more valuable. If we sell them all, how much money can we earn? ]

Ke Yishang curled the corner of his mouth.

It can be seen that my sister-in-law really envies the Zhou family.

Should she tell her sister-in-law that her mother also had a lot of ten-foot-long curtains planted in her back garden?

While Ke Yichang was struggling over whether to tell Shang Tingli, Wenhui next to him was already thinking about whether to move a few pots of ten-foot-long curtains to Shang Tingli to sell.

The servants of the Zhou family successively brought up the ten famous chrysanthemums, including Green Cloud, Yellow Stone Duke, Jade Hall Golden Horse, Plateau Cloud, Fragrant White Pear, Ten-foot Curtain, and General Flag, as well as black peony, gentleman jade and other chrysanthemums interspersed among them.

From this we can see that Mrs. Zhou really put a lot of effort into preparing for this banquet.

Shang Tingli considers himself not a person who loves flowers, nor a person who understands flowers. He just recognizes some rare and precious flowers and knows their prices. It is rare that he looks at them with great interest. Perhaps it is not the flowers that he is looking at, but the "silver".

When people around her were talking, all she could see was "six hundred taels", and another "six hundred taels"...

The chrysanthemum viewing session has come to an end, but the famous chrysanthemums are still placed under the high platform for people to appreciate.

Mrs. Zhou said from her seat: "I was very happy to hear everyone's cheers just now. The chrysanthemums have been displayed. Now everyone can come forward to appreciate them in groups."

As she finished speaking, those who loved chrysanthemums came forward to admire the chrysanthemums.

Madam Zhou glanced at the sky and saw that it was already 9:00 p.m. She turned aside and told the maid beside her, "Ask the kitchen to bring some more tea and snacks. We can start preparing lunch."

Her maid Fu stepped back.

As everyone was enjoying the show, a young girl's voice rang out, "Today is a chrysanthemum viewing banquet, but simply admiring the chrysanthemums is not enough. How about playing some games together?"

Soon this voice attracted the voices of the women present, and everyone looked over.

The person who spoke was Mrs. Zhou's daughter, the third daughter of the Zhou family, Zhou Jingyu.

Shang Tingli raised his eyebrows.

[What does this Miss Wednesday want to do? ]

Obviously she did not forget Zhou Jingyu's subtle attitude towards her during the Xu family's lotus viewing banquet.

Someone in the crowd was interested, and said in a charming voice, "Okay, I wonder if Jingyu has any good ideas? What games do you want to play?"

Shang Tingli thought that she would be able to recognize this voice even if the owner of the voice turned into ashes.

It was Yu Lanxi.

Shang Tingli looked at the pair of friends singing the same tune with a half-smile, and his right eyelid suddenly twitched.

[Hey, my right eyelid is twitching? Could there be another big chess game waiting for me to play? ]

Seeing Zhou Jingyu's malicious eyes looking at Shang Tingli, Ke Yishang frowned. Could it be that this man really wanted to deal with her sister-in-law?

"Since it's a chrysanthemum viewing banquet, how about we write a poem about 'chrysanthemum'?" Zhou Jingyu and Mrs. Zhou looked at each other and said.

She had discussed this with her mother last night and planned two shows today just to see the Crown Princess of Prince Ren make a fool of herself.

She originally wanted to make the first program the flying flower order of "Chrysanthemum", but her mother told her that the flying flower order was too simple and might not achieve the purpose, so why not make it a poem-writing game? So she changed the flying flower order to composing poetry.

Writing poetry on the spot can show one's talent. People who are illiterate may be able to recite some poems, but they know absolutely nothing about writing poetry.

But all the young ladies present here have been well-read since childhood, so composing poetry is naturally no problem for them.

Zhou Jingyu raised the corner of her lips with a determined look, she was just a wild girl from the countryside, she wanted to see how that bitch would embarrass herself in front of everyone.

Yu Lanxi was the first to agree: "This is a good idea. I think it's quite interesting."

Pan Qinghuan, the eldest daughter of the Duke Zhongguo's mansion, said, "It's feasible, but I don't know how Miss Zhou San wants to play it? Is there a prize for writing good poems?"

Zhou Jingyu nodded and replied, "Just like writing poems at poetry gatherings in the past, there will be prizes."

Pan Qinghuan asked again: "Can I see the prize?"

"Move it up." Zhou Jingyu ordered the servants in the mansion.

When the servants brought up the prizes she had prepared early in the morning, she said, "Everyone, please take a look."

The prize was a very good quality mutton-fat jade bracelet, a beauty bracelet with fine workmanship.

All those present were women, and there is no woman who doesn't love jade. For a moment, many rich girls were attracted by it.

Madam Zhou said at the right time: "Since it is a game proposed by Jingyu, let you young people play it. We old folks will not join in the fun." She then asked the middle-aged ladies for their opinions, "What do the princesses and ladies think?"

Wenhui frowned subconsciously, and just as she was about to speak, she heard someone at the next table say, "Let's change the game."
