After the marriage, my husband's family listened to my voice and turned the tide
Chapter 73 Paper Kite
It was a sachet in the shape of a rabbit's head, different from the usual round ones, and quite unique.
The light blue rabbit head has no rabbit eyes, but is decorated with light pink bougainvillea. The ears are playful and cute, with a light yellow rope tied into a lucky knot at the base of the ears, and a pair of light pink tassels at the end of the rope.
Shang Tingli smiled and said, "What my cousin said doesn't count."
Yu Lanxi curled the corners of her mouth, said nothing, and put on a disdainful look.
She didn't have the final say, but she didn't believe that the craftsmanship could be better than hers. What's the point of being stubborn? It's still the same result.
"So this is why the young lady asked that question."
The woman murmured.
As soon as she saw the sachet in Shang Tingli's hand, she was stunned. This was because she had never seen a sachet of the style from her hometown in all these years. There were so many beautiful sachets that looked the same, and none of them suited her taste.
The sachet in front of her was not as good as many of the ones she had seen before in terms of workmanship, but it was more to her liking than all the others.
During the years she had been running a small business in the capital, she actually often missed her hometown, but she had unspeakable reasons and could not return home.
When she first saw things from her hometown, she couldn't help but miss them.
The woman smiled at Shang Tingli and said, "Young Madam is very smart."
Shang Tingli smiled and said, "Thank you for the compliment."
The pedestrians are filled with endless thoughts in the autumn wind, and the green mountains across the water seem like their hometown. No one will not think of the past when they first see something that was common in the past.
This is her shortcut.
Sure enough, I heard the woman's voice announcing the result: "Congratulations to this young lady for winning the prize."
As soon as she finished speaking, another person brought over the box containing the prize, handed it to her, and then walked away.
The woman opened the box and then handed it to Shang Tingli. Inside was a pair of golden hairpins inlaid with red and blue sapphires and butterfly-shaped ornaments. "Young Madam, this is the lucky charm."
She didn't feel the pain, she was just a worker for someone else, and the pair of silk-inlaid red and blue sapphire butterfly gold hairpins were not hers. Besides, their employer didn't suffer any loss. The 25-cent stage fee and the dogwood sachet she could take away were made of cotton and linen, so there was still a profit to be made. There was only one prize, but there were more than one person on stage.
Therefore, the woman gave it promptly.
Shang Tingli took it and thanked him.
The woman hesitated for a moment and said, "I wonder if the young lady would give me this sachet?"
It was just an ordinary cotton and linen sachet. Even with the twenty-five coins, it was still a good deal. Shang Tingli nodded happily, "Okay."
She handed over the sachet in her hand.
The woman took it and thanked him repeatedly.
Seeing this, Yu Lanxi was so angry that she felt uncomfortable all over. She couldn't help but yelled, "Is there something unspeakable about this stage?"
She pointed at the rabbit-head sachet that passed to the woman, her anger bubbling out, "How can you lie with your eyes closed? Look at what's so good about her sachet? Can you get the prize for it? I'm afraid you two must have colluded with each other, right?"
Her questions came one after another.
The audiences in the audience watched her suddenly get angry, so they all wanted to watch the fun, and vaguely felt that it was no big deal to watch the fun.
The woman frowned and said, "Young Madam, you can't say anything nonsense. Didn't you hear the rules clearly? How about I repeat it to you?"
She picked out the most important item in the rules and said, "The one who suits my taste the most will win. I'm sure this is not difficult for you to understand, right?"
Yu Lanxi sneered: "You said you didn't collude with each other. You picked a mediocre one out of a group of good workers, and then you said your favorite one won? Are you kidding me?"
"You...you are unreasonable!" The woman almost had a heart attack because of her logic.
Yu Lanxi didn't even look at her, she looked directly at Shang Tingli and asked, "Do you dare to confront me?"
Shang Tingli tilted his head and looked at her in confusion: "Why should I confront her?"
Yu Lanxi said: "Oh, of course it's because you didn't deserve the prize!"
Shang Tingli smiled: "Do you have any evidence?"
"What other evidence do you need? It's just lying here in plain sight?" Yu Lanxi laughed in anger.
Shang Tingli asked, "How do you prove it?"
Yu Lanxi choked and looked at her angrily.
"My cousin looks a little ugly now. People who don't know the truth might think that she can't afford to lose." Shang Tingli gestured for her to look around.
Yu Lanxi frowned and looked around. The people competing around her had all left the stage silently without saying a word. Only she and Shang Tingli were left standing face to face, with the woman who had been silenced by her next to them.
"I can't afford to lose? What a joke!"
Yu Lanxi refused to admit it.
Shang Tingli said meaningfully: "So, cousin is jealous?" She deliberately shook the box in front of Yu Lanxi.
"It's just a pair of golden hairpins inlaid with red and blue sapphire butterflies. Why should I take it seriously?" Yu Lanxi showed no disdain.
Shang Tingli closed the box and glanced at her: "Then please slowly find the evidence of my collusion with Taizi, I will not accompany you any more."
She turned and walked off the stage.
Yu Lanxi had no choice but to walk off the stage indignantly, clenching her fists and shaking with anger.
Bitch!
At this moment, the woman also struck the drum, attracting the crowd's attention to herself, "Dear fellow villagers, let's take a break and start again in the afternoon!"
"Woo——"
Some people in the crowd started to cheer, and then they dispersed one by one.
It's noon, time to have lunch.
Shang Tingli handed the box to Gan Tang to hold, and then he heard four people congratulating in unison: "Congratulations, Crown Prince's Consort."
She smiled beautifully and nodded.
Ke Xin said rather unpleasantly: "Just having hands will do."
Shang Tingli: “?”
[What do you mean by "as long as you have hands"? Does it mean that you need to use your hands to make it? Or does it mean that you can do it if you do it yourself? 】
Shang Tingli rolled his eyes at him in his heart.
【Pooh, pooh, pooh, pooh, pooh. 】
Ke Xin curled his lips and said, "Shall we go to the Food Pavilion for dinner?"
Shang Tingli was a little unwilling to pay attention to him at this moment. He didn't say anything as if he was angry, turned his head away, and pretended not to hear.
Ke Xin bent down and came close to her: "I'll treat you."
Shang Tingli raised his head and said firmly: "Let's go!"
[If you have a free lunch, you should eat it! It would be a waste if you can cheat this person out of a lot of money! It would be best if you can bankrupt him! ]
Ke Xin walked beside her, listening to her passionate voice, hugging his chest indifferently, and smiled faintly.
He knew that she would go to Chunchibin to fly kites in the afternoon, which meant that he had to go with her. Since he had to go back to the mansion for dinner and had to go out again in the afternoon, he didn't want to waste that useless time, so he might as well go to Meishixuan for a meal.
He is not short of money.
It might be possible to cheat him, but it's not so easy to bankrupt him.
……
Yu Lanxi almost watched Shang Tingli and Ke Xin leave, and Ji Zhang didn't dare to say a word beside her.
After a while.
Yu Lanxi said, "Let's go back home and have dinner."
Ji Zhang was a little surprised and asked, "Xi'er, are you not going to continue the trip?"
Going back home for meals would take some time, so it would be better to eat out.
His wife was born a noble lady, always spoiled, and never willing to be bothered. She chose to go home at this time, which meant that she was most likely unwilling to stay outside. This also meant that after going back to have lunch, she would not go out again.
Yu Lanxi was annoyed: "I don't want to play anymore. It's boring and boring."
In just two hours, she met annoying people twice and lost both times. She was so angry that she had no mood to hang out outside.
She was also afraid that if she continued walking around, she would see that person again. Wouldn't that be unlucky?
Ji Zhang probably understood her feelings and didn't say anything.
……
Ke Xin often went to Meishixuan to eat. The owner and the waiters there all recognized him and greeted him warmly when they saw him.
The shopkeeper came out to greet them, smiling, "Welcome, Prince." He looked up and saw Shang Tingli beside Ke Xin, and said with a sly look, "I guess this is the prince's consort, right?"
Seeing Ke Xin nod, the shopkeeper hurriedly said, "Please come in."
Shang Tingli followed Ke Xin in.
As soon as she sat down, she ordered the dishes she liked. After looking at the dishes she ordered, Ke Xin only added one thing and did not order any more.
Shang Tingli originally wanted to order a whole table full of food, but considering that he wouldn't be able to finish it, he didn't do so.
"Where do you want to go after dinner?" Ke Xin asked.
Although he knew that she was going to Chunchibin, he couldn't be sure that she would go there directly after dinner.
Today was a "couple activity" anyway, so Shang Tingli did not hide it from him and said bluntly: "Let's go look at the kites first, and when we pick one that suits our taste, we'll go directly to Chunchibin to fly the kites."
She glanced at him.
[If this is the case, will this person find it boring? ]
Shang Tingli thought so, so
So she asked, "Will you feel bored?" She continued, "If you don't think it's fun, you can go home first."
Before Ke Xin could reply, she thought of another excuse for him: "I will speak for you as for your mother. This is none of your business. This is my opinion."
Ke Xin stared into her eyes: "Then where do you think it would be more fun to go?"
"Forehead……"
Shang Tingli was speechless for a moment, she chose to keep silent.
After the meal, it was almost noon.
In October, the autumn breeze is cool and the sun is no longer glaring.
After leaving the Food Pavilion, walk one mile south and you will find kites for sale.
Shang Tingli picked up a butterfly kite and looked at it. The stall owner said, "Young Madam, you have a good eye. This butterfly kite is the most popular. Would you like to buy one?"
"Let me take a look first." Shang Tingli said.
Stall owner: “Okay.”
Shang Tingli then put down the butterfly-shaped kite and picked up the swallow-shaped one to look at it carefully.
[It seems that they are all good, this is too tangled. 】
As I was hesitating, a kite in the shape of a goldfish appeared in front of me.
Shang Tingli tilted his head to look at the young man beside him and asked doubtfully, "Do you want the goldfish style?"
Ke Xin said: "Take a look first."
Shang Tingli blinked her eyes, lowered her head and picked up the "goldfish" he handed her. After looking at it for a moment, she looked up at the stall owner and asked, "Would you like me to make a kite here?"
She was not the first person to ask this question, and the stall owner was prepared. He pointed to the table next to him and said with a smile: "If you want to buy ready-made kites, the butterfly pattern will cost thirty-five coins, the swallow pattern will cost forty coins, and the goldfish pattern will cost fifty coins. And if you want to make it yourself, you need to pay one hundred coins."
Although today is the Double Ninth Festival, not many people come here to make kites. Most people either pass by here and make a spur-of-the-moment decision, or have already made kites at home.
"Gantang."
"Du Heng."
The two of them spoke in unison, both were stunned, and then looked at each other.
While she was still in a daze, Ke Xin took the lead this time to ask: "One hundred coins means only one person can make it, or is this the price for a handmade kite?"
The stall owner replied: "This is of course the price of a handmade kite. We are honest and fair to everyone."
Ke Xin glanced at Du Heng.
Du Heng handed the hundred coins to the stall owner before Gan Tang did.
Shang Tingli was not pretentious. Seeing that Du Heng had already given the money, he walked to the table next to him, picked a chair and sat down.
[No matter what, it is natural for a husband to spend money on his wife. I won't argue with you about this. As long as you are willing to spend money, I will enjoy it with confidence.]
Ke Xin burst out laughing.
Whether they had feelings for each other was one thing, but they were still a married couple who had gone through three letters and six ceremonies, and had been married in a red wedding ceremony. It was only natural for him to spend money on her.
Ke Xin sat down next to Shang Tingli and asked, "Which style do you like best?"
Shang Tingli said without hesitation: "Goldfish style."
After comparing the three just now, she likes the goldfish style the most.
"Okay." Ke Xin took the goldfish-shaped kite and placed it on the table. "Can you draw the pattern yourself?"
Shang Tingli nodded: "No problem."
The two maids were excited to watch. Gan Tang said, "Fang Zhi, should we get one too?"
Fang Zhi was very clear-headed: "I can make one, but it's better to buy one."
After all, there was only one usable table here. If they also wanted to make kites, they could only wait for the Crown Prince's wife to finish making them. They were the Crown Prince's wife's personal maids. It was unreasonable for them to stay in the market when the master went to Chunchibin. It was also unreasonable for the master to wait for the maids.
Gan Tang didn't feel disappointed. "Then let's pool our money and buy a butterfly-shaped kite?"
This is the cheapest and most cost-effective.
"Okay." Fang Zhi had no objection.
After the two maids discussed it, they bought a butterfly-shaped kite from the stall owner.
Chang Di was itching to buy one, so he nudged Du Heng's arm and said, "How about we buy one too?"
Du Heng asked: "Are you okay?"
Chang Di glared: "You are so boring."
Du Heng: "..."
Chang Di ignored him and went to buy a swallow-shaped kite. He came back and waved it in front of Du Heng, "Don't beg me to lend it to you later."
Du Heng said seriously: "No."
Not even three moments later.
Shang Tingli stood up and handed the final step of making the kite to Ke Xin, saying to him, "My husband, it is up to you to string the kite."
[I need to rest for a while. I can't be the only one tired. What if you are interested in it later and want to play with it for a while? I won't let you play for nothing. ]
She completely forgot that the money was paid by Ke Xin.
